Scotland: Muslim medical student had al-Qaeda murder manual

Sep 10, 2015 11:06 am By Robert Spencer

“Mr Goddard asked: ‘Was there much about religion or politics?’ The police officer replied: ‘It is basically a manual if you want to kill somebody or blow something up and how to avoid detection.'” Note how the police officer avoided answering the question. The given answer was no doubt accurate: it is indeed “a manual if you want to kill somebody or blow something up and how to avoid detection.” It is also deeply religious, rooted in and motivated by Islamic texts and teachings. But the police officer didn’t dare speak honestly about that.

And what is this about Yousif Badri being a medical student? Doesn’t he know that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism?

High Court in Glasgow

“Scots court told student had al-Qaeda murder manual,” by Wilma Riley, The Scotsman, September 10, 2015

A COUNTER-terrorism police officer has told a court that an al-Qaeda training manual was found on an external hard drive seized from a medical student’s flat.

DC Mark White, a member of Police Scotland’s organised crime and counter-terrorism team, was giving evidence at the trial of Yousif Badri, 29, who denies three charges under the Terrorism Act.

The jury at the High Court in Glasgow was shown a manual running into dozens of pages.

Advocate depute Richard Goddard, prosecuting, asked DC White what the manual was.

DC White replied: “A manual created by al-Qaeda. This appears to be a scanned copy which has been translated into English.”

The court was shown the document, which refers to jihad and explains how to shoot weapons including automatic pistols and Kalashnikovs and how to avoid detection and prepare false documents.

The court heard the manual referred to explosives, car bombs and how to prepare ricin.

Mr Goddard asked: “Was there much about religion or politics?” The police officer replied: “It is basically a manual if you want to kill somebody or blow something up and how to avoid detection.”

The jury was also shown photographs found on a memory stick taken from the flat. One of them showed a man with his face partially covered with red and white scarf and holding an assault rifle.

DC White was asked if the photograph ressembled anyone and he replied: “I believe it resembles Mr Badri.”

Earlier, DC Gillian Essen told the court that she and colleagues had searched Badri’s flat in Ashgrove Road, Aberdeen, on 6 June 2013.

She said that she was at the time a member of a specialist search team and added: “We did joint training with the army, searching for bombs and bomb parts.”

The court heard that among the items seized by the police during the search was a jar of nails, an external hard drive, a memory stick and three books in Arabic.

DC Essen told the court that the tub of nails was found in a cupboard in a desk.

Badri faces a number of allegations including an accusation he was involved in conduct “with the intention of committing acts of terrorism”….

    The scum are everywhere.
    There are a couple of “scottish muslims” in jail for trying to
    bomb Glasgow Airport.
    They are both NHS doctors.
    Also, the foul Scottish National Socialist Party is crawling
    with mohammedans.

      The two doctors were not “Scottish”. One was Iraqi living in Aylesbury England and the second was from bangalore India.

      • BlueRaven says

        Sep 10, 2015 at 3:40 pm

        One was a British born Muslim of Iraqi descend, the other Indian born Muslim raised in Saudiarabia – hence not from Banglore but from SaudiArabia –

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

      “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.”

        “You would have to conclude a large majority of Scots are anti-semitic”. Rather a stupid comment as one could easily say that by re-electing the Obamination then we can conclude the vast majority of Americans are pro -muslim.
        Both ideas I totally reject and as a Scot I can say that personally I have never come across anti-semitism.

    ah news about islam always gives me warm fuzzy feelings (sarc). I have noticed LOT of muslim doctors have become jihadists and committed mass murder, I must there fore wonder how many of these doctors can be so committed to helping the suffering of people with disease can also be so quick to slaughter the same

      ALL Muslim doctors think of us as dirty kafirs who do not deserve to live. How then can they be doctors?

      If they do NOT consider us dirty kafirs then THEY ARE APOSTATE EX-MUSLIMS who are deceiving their families to keep the peace.

      What do you think was behind the ACA — right! — squeeze out Christian and Jewish medical professionals and replace with moo-slimes — coming soon to a government ‘approved’ clinic and hospital near you! Will not even be able to count on the Catholic hospitals after this pope gets through with them!

      The number of muslim doctors in America, I think if the truth be known, is staggering.(Muslim Medical Society of U.S.) is real. Worse yet is the concern about the researchers who may be muslim who are advising and creating protocals on medical procedure that would most definitely harm Americans (infidels). Just because they have a medical license to practice, have graduated form American schools and pass themselves as authorities in the minds of most citizens, gives them powers and skill to inflict bad policy, pharma meidicine, surgeries, etc., the silent army of islam.
      Know islam know the enemy.

    So much for the Hippocratic Oath. For some reason, Moslems are always allowed to be the exception. Now with this case, the Scottish authorities have two problems:

    1) How to keep the doctor out of prison,and
    2) How to allow him to return to medical practice.

    These are the burdens of non-racists/non-Islamophobes. Me, I’d put him in prison and let him treat only fellow Moslems there. If anything bad came to pass in his jailhouse practice, so what?

    • Charli Main says

      Sep 10, 2015 at 12:51 pm

      I believe that taking the Hippocratic Oath is no longer an essential part of qualifying as a doctor.
      Doctors can chose to take the oath, if they so wish. In any case, taking the Hippocratic Oath has only ever been a part of Western culture. Doctors qualifying in India, China, Japan, for example, have never been required to take the Oath.

      There is – or was – some kind of islamic medical organisation in the UK and (if I remember rightly) it was very much based on islamic principles and promoted principle of ‘Muslims first’ (see Mortimer above ….”ALL Muslim doctors think of us as dirty kafirs who do not deserve to live….”). Can’t think why it was ever allowed in the first place, and I can only hope that it’s been closed down. The thought of making the Hippocratic Oath optional in the UK is appalling, and if there are muslim medics out there who aren’t bound by it, I don’t want them anywhere near me or my family neither do I want them in my country.

    Mr Goddard asked: “Was there much about religion or politics?” The police officer replied: “It is basically a manual if you want to kill somebody or blow something up and how to avoid detection.”

    Sounds like something that law enforcement and counter-jihadis should read – knowing how they operate can make the difference between living a long, happy life or ending up as another victim of “workplace violence”.

    I’d hate to need a crucial life saving operation under one of these doctors.

    When studying to be a doctor, be sure to get a copy of an al-Qaeda murder manual while you’re at it.

    Islam helps with your doctoral studies, exactly the same way Josef Mengele helps his patients during World War II.

    I really don’t understand that. Why do the court not read the document?

    • tilda says

      Sep 10, 2015 at 5:02 pm

      The document was put into evidence, so it would be read by the court and jury. However, the officer was giving evidence and the questions he was asked were designed to highlight certain points things about the document.

    A medical student at he age of 29? That bit of info suggests he might not be British-born but one of thousands of mature men who get into the UK on a student visa (and can’t be found when the visa expires).
    The manual must be admitted as evidence to the court and will be examined at length at some stage during the trial.
