Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pizza delivery boy from UK becomes Islamic State jihad murderer

Sep 7, 2015 3:49 pm By Robert Spencer

After studying in a Qur’an camp. One might almost get the idea that the Qur’an played a role in such transformations, were it not for our leaders and the entire Western intelligentsia constantly insisting that it isn’t so. One wonders nevertheless how Ruhul Amin could read the Qur’an and miss the peaceful teachings in it that are so patently obvious to John Kerry and Joe Biden and David Cameron and Boris Johnson.

"Sorry, no pepperoni..."
“Sorry, no pepperoni…”

“Ruhul Amin: The pizza delivery boy turned Isil killer,” by Steven Swinford, Telegraph, September 7, 2015:

When Ruhul Amin, 26, came to public attention in an Isil propaganda video alongside Reyaad Khan in June 2014 entitled “There is No Life without Jihad”, his friends could hardly recognise him.

Amin, who was born in Bangladesh, was raised in Aberdeen where he was remembered by friends as a keen cricketer who enjoyed music and clubbing. Before travelling to Syria he worked variously as a pizza delivery boy, in a salon shop and a spice shop.

In the 13 minute video, during which he brandished a machine gun, his message was uncompromising: “Are you willing to sacrifice the fat job you’ve got, the big car you’ve got, the family you have?

“Are you willing to sacrifice this, for the sake of Allah? Definitely, if you sacrifice something for Allah, Allah will give you 700 times more than this.”

The following month he gave an interview to Good Morning Britain, describing himself as an engineering student and saying that the moment his plane took off for Gatwick was “one of the happiest moments of my life”.

Amin was born in Moulvibazar, north-east Bangladesh in February 1989, but his family moved to Aberdeen where his parents ran a takeaway restaurant for years.

He later moved to Birmingham where Stephen Marvin, one of his schoolfriends, said he became radicalised. He said: “I spoke to him a couple of times. I heard about him being brainwashed and all that so I wanted to speak to him and find out exactly the mindset he was in and get his point of view.

“He said he met people in Birmingham and he was spoken to there and offered [the chance] to go to Syria under the promise he was allowed to leave whenever he wanted to.

“He went over and spent three months in a Koran-type camp that gets you into their type of thinking around the Koran. Then he went on to three months military camp after that.

“The first time I phoned I heard a gunshot in the background. He said it was rebel fighters. I asked him, aren’t you scared of getting shot?

“He said, if he dies, he’ll be with Allah. That kind of shocked me. You’re not used to hearing, especially in Aberdeen, you’re not used to hearing your friends talk like that. He had no fear whatsoever of death. He was confident he was going to a better place.”

He added: “I feel sympathy for his family of course. It’s not their fault at all…

How does he know that?

      Or one who has swallowed the idiocy that is islam. I can tell you for certain that at the moment f death you are not transported to Mohammed’s paradise.. But as no one ever comes back to tell the truth of the matter, the lie goes on and on.

    I wonder how he feels about himself after realizing that he has been in contact with so much pork (and probably eaten it) during the high point of his life? Imagine that — the pinnacle of nobility and decency and accomplishment in your life was to be a pizza delivery guy and now it’s all behind you. Sad.

      TRUE but he can redeem himself according to islamic theology by killing and being killed in battle against us. Isn’t islam wonderful! (sarc)

    Nice friendly pizza delivery boy? Worked in a shop with a friendly smile for all his customers? Keen on cricket? Loved music and clubbing? A good, dependable, honest Scottish lad?

    B*LL*CKS!!! One of the 7/7 London bombers (56 killed, hundreds injured) was a ‘nice, helpful teaching assistant’. The animal that drove a bomb-loaded car into the departure lounge at Glasgow aitport was a ‘caring NHS doctor’. The monster who made a grotesque exhibition of himself decapititating our countrymen was a student at Westminster University who had had the benefit of a State education paid for by the very people he murdered. And that’s just three of the hundreds or even thousands who have either committed atrocities or were stopped in time. Like the engineering student who was going to blow up a tube train under the Thames. The other ‘respectable’ idiot who was going maim hundreds by blowing upo a car bomb outside a London nightclub. YOU CANNOT TRUST ANY OF THEM. Their ‘religion’ teaches them to lie, deceive, debase, defile and murder, and they are proving this every day in every place around the world that they infest. The safest option clearly is to view them all as criminal liars and murderers. This is not ‘islamophobia’. This is simple logic based on fact.

      @ jayell, three more examples of scottish antisemitism and anti-civilization:

      http://www.bdsmovement.net/2013/boycott-spreading-in-scotland-clackmannanshire-council-joins-w-dunbartonshire-and-stirling-in-boycott-of-israel-10784

      “Taqiyya News
      Boycott spreading in Scotland: Clackmannanshire Council joins W. Dunbartonshire and Stirling in boycott of Israel, Posted on March 20, 2013 by Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign

      “Boycott spreading in Scotland: Clackmannanshire Council joins W. Dunbartonshire and Stirling in boycott of Israel The motion was passed nem con by a meeting of the full Council, with only three abstentions (one Labour, one SNP, and the lone Tory).”

      This has nothing, NOTHING to do with local councils, who are supposed to look after local infrastructure, not meddling, like the rabid socialists/communists that they are. And if they are voted in again, you will have to conclude that a large percentage of scots are ANTISEMITIC.

      “Taqiyya News:
      Scottish First Minister supports sanctions against Israel
      Posted on May 7, 2011 by SPSC

      “First Minister Alex Salmond supported economic sanctions against Israel. He described Israel’s massacre of nine Mavi Marmara passengers as an “ATROCITY [what was 9/11?] on the high seas” and put Israel firmly beyond the pale. [And IS?] “This has implications for example in trading relationships—you can’t have normal relationships if you believe another country has been involved in what Israel has been involved in.”

        In my experience, the Scots always seemed to have had a tendency towards nationalist chauvinism, sometimes bordering dangerously on an unattractive arrogant bigotry, exemplified many years ago in a popular (in Scotland!) song called ‘A Scottish Soldier’ (recorded by the awful Andy Stewart) together with all the ‘hogmanay’ crap we used to ‘enjoy’ courtesy of BBC TV Scotland on New Year’s Eve, and more recently in the histrionic antics of the Scottish National Party. And I had a grandfather of Scots descent! I deny all knowledge!!! My point was that this disgusting Amin person bore as much resemblance to the true Scots (and true British) as his name, but I didn’t realise that this stupid, puffed-up, swaggering-around-on-the-international-stage anti-Israel nonsense was going on! PATHETIC!! How do you explain it? I’d have thought that they had enough oil north of the border to be immune from the antediluvian wiles of the greasy oiks from the Arabian peninsula.

        Given that it is Cameron, be careful before cheering. He is a two faced slimy son of indeterminate parentage. After topping a few more of the most outrageous traitors, be prepared for him to start using the same tactics on those whom we here would support.

        If you cannot imagine who I am thinking might be in the cross hairs, remember that the Foreign Office is run by pro-Sunni Arabists.

    A la Hannah Arendt, the banality of evil marches on in our age. After all, it’s a stretch to combine pizza delivery with jihad fervor in any way whatsoever, but this can be done if one stupidly accepts Mo’s creed as the be-all and end-all, aided, of course, by heaps of clueless Western dhimmis (e.g., David Cameron and Emma Thompson), who from whatever idiotic and indefensible motives, continue to shill for the spiritual fascism which most decidedly is Islam.

    Yes indeed, the nonsense continues in this nonsensical age. And I fear that it will continue tor a long time to come, courtesy of pc/mc, highly foolish people in the upper echelons of Western societies and, of course, due as well to that perennial great mistake that mankind produced some 1400 years ago which goes by the name of “Islam.”

    Much more nonsense and senseless deaths to follow. Count on it. And due, in the final analysis, to a great deal of ignorance across the board by both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

      Sep 8, 2015 at 11:45 am

      Hi Wellington, somehow we always miss each other.

      About the banality of evil you’re absolutely right. But I think the most important thing here is power. What kind of power has a pizza delivery boy? Hello, here are your pizzas, he collects the money, and then thank you sir, thank you ma’am.

      All of a sudden these people get power they can kill all the infidels, preferably behead them on camera and they can rape all the infidel girl inspiring horror all over the world. That’s what they relish the feeling of being feared and powerful. Yes as you say much more nonsense and senseless deaths to follow. IS turned the world into a lunatics asylum.

      All the best to you my friend

      • Wellington says

        Sep 8, 2015 at 12:20 pm

        As I’ve written before, epistemology, Islam will always remain a death cult for a certain percentage of Muslims when they don’t get their way. This is one of several reasons why trying to reform Islam is a fool’s errand, as I know you know.

        Hope you’re doing well, my friend. My God, all these refugees coming into Europe is going to even further transform Europe for the worst. Islam is such a burden to mankind. Take care, my friend, that is as best you can.

    “…In the 13 minute video, during which he brandished a machine gun, his message was uncompromising: “Are you willing to sacrifice the fat job you’ve got, the big car you’ve got, the family you have?…”

    The unmistakeable ‘religious calling’ to self sacrifice for the ‘will of Allah’. Note how he lumps in his family relationships with ‘things’ like the car, which helps to understand how human lives are now wholly dispensable for this born again killer.

    Sep 7, 2015 at 10:04 pm

    ‘Three months studying the Koran’??

    15% of Muslims support violent jihad groups. The 10% of Muslims who go to Koran STUDY GROUPS learn about the JIHAD DOCTRINE from the foundational SOURCE TEXTS of Islam…the Koran and hadiths.

    If police, detectives and intelligence agents have not read AND studied the Koran and hadiths, they cannot enter into the MINDSET of JIHAD GROUPS or Muslims IN GENERAL.

  13. No Fear says

    Sep 8, 2015 at 12:47 am

    I know this is hard for muslims to believe but:

    we do NOT believe your prophet when he says paradise awaits those who kill unbelievers.
    we do NOT believe any of the Quran
    we do NOT believe Mohammed was a person whom we should use as an excellent example for man.
    we will NOT submit to Mohammed or Sharia.
    we will NOT submit to Islam.

    Islam is a centre of pestilence. Mohammed is a centre of pestilence. The Quran is a pack of lies.
    May free people everywhere fight against Sharia and Islam.

    “Are you willing to sacrifice this, for the sake of Allah? Definitely, if you sacrifice something for Allah, Allah will give you 700 times more than this.”

    And this was the original con that Muhammad used to convince his followers to follow him on the Hijra to Medina.

    But soon there was trouble in Medina when the “Believers” found themselves on the bottom of the food chain. And the Jews residing there not only refused to join Islam but began “pestering the Prophet with annoying questions.” And some of the “Believers” began siding with the Jews (The hypocrites.) And the Jews said “Allah is not independent of us, if he were he would not ask us to lend him money.”

    Muhammad was forced to put up or shut up – he needed cash. And the Quraysh had it.

    So he planned and organized raiding parties to rob the Quarashi caravans.
    Muhammad was worried after his men committed the first murder for Islam at Nakala, during the Holy Month.

    But then Allah revealed that it was O.K. to murder Infidels if they ran their mouths too much.

    After Allah forgives your first murder, it’s pretty much wide open.

    Such is the story of Islam, that should be told to children, of proper age, at bed time by their wise Infidel parents.

    God is reported to have promised Moses ” I will bless those who bless my people and curse those who curse my people. ” History shows God is good to his word:
    How did it work out for Egyptians, Babalonoans, Hittites, Romans, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarians, Polish, and Germans. Make antisemitism public policy and suffer. The curse is for 4 generations. It is ironic that the EU people who oppressed their Jews and would not take them in our now suffering a plague of Islamic invaders who will cause jihad in their homes. I.E. English curse Jews while Muslim s rape their little girls and blow up their transports. It will only get worse for England and the EU. Winston Churchill was an outspoken Zionist his moral fortatude saved England but he and his world view were and are rejected by the EU. The USA and the colonist beginning circa 1620 have never discriminated against the Jews nor for the most part has Canada these countries are blessed as history shows. Germany since WWII ceased being a cultural or scientific leader. Since the Irish, English, Scottish and Welsch all ignore Gods words and histories lessons they do it at their and their children’s peril. One last question “how has antisemitism worked out for middle eastern people’s so far?
