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

UK: 14-year-old Muslim told teacher, “You are on my beheading list”

Oct 1, 2015 10:59 am By Robert Spencer

“It is clear that he had been radicalised by Isis propaganda accessed by him over the internet.” How clear is it, really? How long are Western authorities going to persist in this delusion without ever asking themselves why the moderate, peaceful Muslim that they assume prevails in their countries is completely unable to withstand the appeal of what they firmly believe is a twisted, hijacked version of the religion? If this boy and so many others like him learned the true, peaceful Islam in their homes and their mosques, why did they so easily fall for this counterfeit Islam they found on the Internet? Why have 30,000 Muslims from 100 countries traveled to join the Islamic State? Why are imams worldwide so spectacularly failing to communicate the true peaceful nature of their religion to their own young people?

The cognitive dissonance is enormous, and growing by the day, but no one seems to notice or care.

“Baby-faced British terrorist, 14, who plotted from his parents’ suburban Blackburn home to kill police at an Anzac Day parade had an Isis phone screensaver and warned a teacher: ‘You’re on my beheading list,'” by Lucy Crossley, MailOnline, October 1, 2015:

A baby-faced British schoolboy who plotted to kill Australian police in an Anzac Day terror attack from his parents suburban home warned a teacher, ‘You are on my beheading list’, a court heard today.

From his bedroom in Blackburn, Lancashire, the 14-year-old, who had been radicalised by Islamic State propaganda online, urged Australian Sevdet Besim, 18, to behead police officers at an Anzac Day parade in Melbourne.

Manchester Crown Court was told today that the attack would ‘in all probability’ have resulted in a number of deaths if it was not thwarted.

As they discussed their plans for the attack, the boy – who was acting in the role of ‘organiser’ – encouraged Besim to break into the home of a vulnerable person living alone, to get his ‘first taste of beheading’ and told him to make a martyrdom video, the court heard.

He told Besim he could either attack police with a gun, a car or a knife and advised him to kill an officer by running them over before beheading the victim and moving onto the next target.

As well as the Australia plot, the schoolboy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been researching potential targets in Britain and teaching himself how to detonate devices and explosives. On his hit list were a police station and a town hall as well as defence and aerospace firm BAE Systems.

He also showed gory videos of bloodied bodies in school, told a teacher he was ‘on his beheading list’ ahead of another member of staff, and had an Isis flag as his mobile phone screensaver, the court heard.

The boy, now 15, became Britain’s youngest convicted Islamic terrorist in July after he admitted inciting terrorism overseas, and is being sentenced in Manchester this week.

Outlining the case at the start of the two-day sentencing hearing, prosecutor Paul Greaney QC said the boy’s plot with Besim, who is thought to have used an online pseudonym ‘Illyas’, had the aim of beheading police officers.

‘It is clear that the purpose of this proposed attack was to promote the ideology and agenda of Isis,’ said Mr Greaney. ‘A striking feature of the case is that, at the time of the offence, the defendant was aged just 14.

‘It is clear that he had been radicalised by Isis propaganda accessed by him over the internet and the evidence establishes that the contact with his Australian collaborator was instigated by a well-known Isis recruiter and propagandist named Abu Khaled al-Cambodi, himself an Australian, who has promoted the idea of terrorist attacks in his homeland.

‘There is no doubt that there was a determination on the part of the defendant and Sevdet Besim that the plot should be carried through and the contact between the two included frequent references to the production of a martyrdom video by Besim for al-Cambodi which, no doubt, al-Cambodi intended to use for propaganda purposes.

‘In the event, fortunately, the authorities here and in Australia intervened and a plot that would in all probability have resulted in a number of deaths was thwarted.’ …

    This is really just a token case, there are many more & worse that never reach the courts.
    This boy was not “radicalised”, he is a muslim & these are mohammedan beliefs.
    No non muslims have ever been radicalised.
    Incidentally, the UK mainstream media still omit to inform
    us that the brute who blinded & terribly scarred a woman’s face was a white
    muslim convert who even ran his own website called “Muslim & proud” or
    some such garbage.

      I’m a little tired of hearing the words “Radical Islam” the word Islam or Muslim is sufficient enough, the Qur’an and the Hadith explains what being a Muslim is all about so there are no real difference except how they go about Jihad, whether Violent Jihad, Stealth Jihad or Hijrah which is Immigration Jihad all work toward the same goal and that goal is a world dominated by Islam.

        The boy is a good Muslim who wants to be like Mo, just like good Christians want to be like Jesus. Unfortunately, Mo was a warlord, rapist, pillager, and slave trader.

    Working in some UK schools these days can be a little bit reminiscent of ‘The Blackboard Jungle’. There have been recent reports of regular attacks by pupils on teachers in Primary schools (7-11 year-olds!!!), I’ve observed on more than one occasion former colleagues of mine remaining amazingly civil in situations where they should have been trained as zoo-keepers (that’s insulting animals!) and I personally have been advised by a charming young gentleman that ‘he’d bring his dad in and put me in hospital’ when I had to bring him into line. (And that was 30 years ago!). So being informed by one’s pupil these days that one is ‘on a beheading list’ is unfortunately not so out-of-the-ordinary as one might expect in certain necks of the wood. Perhaps THAT is slightly preferable to be beaten up in the street by a trio of muslim orang-utans because one has had the temerity to teach a lesson on islam as part of the national curriculum in a UK State School (but obviously in the WRONG part of London – one of these ‘Islamic Republics’?). Whoever this charming 15-year-old is, I hope they throw the book at him, because he’s clearly well over-the-top. Knowing UK justice, however, I would bet the the ‘book’ in this case is not more than a copy of ‘Batman’ comic.

      Yes, the vermin certainly have got into the woodwork, haven’t they (if you’ll excuse the mixed imagery). The Queen isn’t like your President, of course, she’s really just symbolic with only theoretical executive powers, but a lot of people are concerned about her successor when the time come for her to depart. By all reports he’s – shall we say – inclined to be a bit ‘radical’, including wanting to be known as ‘Defender of FAITHS’ (plural – rather than than ‘the Faith’, singular, i.e., the C of E); and I think we all know which way THAT could go, bearing in mind the fact that his infamous ‘ex’ almost shacked up with a muslim before meeting her untimely end and our friends from the Gulf area are succeeding in ingratiating themselves into ‘high circles’ over here, lending money to do up royal estates, etc.. Not good. Not good at all.

    Is there a sinister reason why the western leaders are allowing this invasion, it doesn’t take an intelligent person to know how this will workout in the end considering the almost 1400 years of Islamic State like atrocities committed against innocent men women and children. Is it possible that these seventh century fools are not only being allowed to migrate to western countries but are giving a helping hand by various organizations. What better way to create world wide Chaos than to allow those into countries that will cause the Chaos, why Chaos? it’s needed to set up a One World Government, the Scriptures call this man who rises up to lead this world government; “The Man Of Sin” “The Lawless One” “The Son Of Perdition” or better known as the Antichrist. The Propjet Daniel shows us that the Dark Force can take control of man’s governments and the Apostle Paul confirms it. This is nothing new Satan has been trying at least since the days of Babylonia under king Nimrod to set up a one world government, in America this can be traced back to our roots. Look up all the symbols and the statues in Washington you’ll even find Chaos on our money. Confederate General Albert Pike an admitted Satanist wrote about Chaos and the need for three World Wars before the world government could rise up. Pike boasted he could summon Satan for advice I don’t doubt it from what he wrote about things that were future to him.

      Sometime I think that the PTB’s are trying to make the apocalypse happen.

      The Bible tells us that no man knows the time. We also know that God is in control, not man. Man cannot “force” God to do anything; That is, the real God.

      Allah on the other hand can easily be made mad by individual human acts

    As for this brutal and murderous way of thinking of this fourteen year boy. This further exposes the great amount of harm that Islam may have on a person. For that religion has terribly warped that young person’s heart and mind.

    • jayell says

      Oct 1, 2015 at 5:29 pm

      Or maybe Islam liberates the evil in people that might otherwise be contained or curtailed by more civilised forces inspired wholly or in part by Christianity. Thus, converts to Islam might be individuals who are already basically nasty pieces of work and who find in the ‘Religion of Peace’ a justification for their perversities. And those who are unfortunately born into this ideological abortion have their personalities corrupted and perverted by it if it is allowed to dominate their lives in the way it is designed to. Which might also explain why so many leave Islam when they have the chance if they are basically ‘good’ people and are shown the way. One good example of this is the story on this site of the woman from (I believe) Somalia who ended up in Sweden, was taught to read, learned the disgusting truth about Islam for herself and is now a Christian. So maybe it’s not all doom and gloom.

      Muslims love death because there is no joy in Islam only daily emptiness.
      Yet, they shamelessly say that they respect Jesus while simultaneously denying Jesus and his message. No wonder Muslims love death.

        I bought an authoritative English-translation copy of the Qu’ran some time ago and looked some of the key elements of Jesus’ teaching in the index at the back (the Beatitiudes, the summary of the Ten Commandments, the parable of the Good Samaritan). Despite searching for different words and phrases, I drew a blank on everything. If these things do appear in their ‘Holy Book’, can someone tell me where? Otherwise, how can these people say they respect Jesus when they omit the important bits?

        • gravenimage says

          Oct 3, 2015 at 12:05 am

          Jayell, there’s a reason you couldn’t find any of Jesus’s teachings in the Qur’an–the Muslim “Jesus” (“Isa”) is *nothing* like the Jesus of the Gospels.

          It is not just that he is not a savior–he is not a healer or a peacemaker, either.

          In fact, the main role of “Isa” in the last days is to “break the cross and kill the pigs”–that is, to end dhimmitude. After that, Christians have the stark choice of converting to Islam or facing death. This means that the main role of the Muslim “Jesus” is to *kill Christians*.

          Remember *this* next time some Muslim apologist tells you that Islam “respects Jesus”.

    Yes, time to drop the “radical Islam” bit. It’s orthodox Islam, or fundamentalist Islam. “Radical” suggests it is outside of the core teachings, almost heretical. But the actions of Jihadists are pure orthodoxy, a simple fact the media and politicians refuse to face.

    The teenage jihadi moron was at least targeting the right people, the police, local councils and many teachers are totally complicit in the liberal socialist agenda when it comes to the muzzers.

    Teachers abolished any form of corporal punishment as it was barbaric? Not quite as barbaric as having your head cut off but there you are, teachers are too busy getting matey with their pupils, in particular the female teachers, to care about punishment and now it’s too late.

    The police couldn’t even shoot to kill when the mad muzzers were trying too cut Lee Rigby’s head off, in fact, one of them, the female shooter, couldn’t even get the gun out of her holster…all that training for nothing. The filth are a joke. But don’t worry ‘we are very sorry, we realize where we have gone wrong and we will never make the same mistake again’ until the next time that is.

    As for the councils, the worst of the lot, you don’t have to search far on Google to find out what a disaster their recruitment policy has become. Taxpayer’s money has never been so easy to come by for some.

    When the mad muzzers start to target their sponsors then we may see some action, they’ll be begging the ‘right wing’ nutters to sort it out for them.
