UK Muslim 14-year-old receives life sentence for jihad mass murder plot in Australia

Oct 2, 2015 3:32 pm By Robert Spencer

He had a wooden box with “Islamic State” carved on it in his bedroom, and yet his parents were “completely unaware” of his activities. And credulous dhimmi British authorities no doubt nodded gravely and consoled the parents on the tragedy of how their son had been “radicalized.”

Islamic State wooden box

“British teen receives life sentence for inciting terrorist act,” by Karla Adam, Washington Post, October 2, 2015:

LONDON — A teenager thought to be Britain’s youngest convicted terrorist received a life sentence Friday for inciting a terrorist attack in Australia during an annual war memorial event.

The teen was 14 when he planned the attack, which included a plot to kill police officers in Melbourne during Anzac Day, an annual day of remembrance marked in Australia and New Zealand.

At the court in Manchester, Justice John Saunders said it was “chilling” that the teen, who cannot be named under British law, had been radicalized at such a young age….

The court had previously heard that the plot was in the advanced stages. In March, the British teen had exchanged more than 3,000 messages with Sevdet Besim, an 18-year-old Australian whom prosecutors argued used the online name “Illyas.” In one exchange, they discussed a plan to run over a police officer at the Anzac Day parade.

In another, the British teen suggested that the Australian should “break into someone’s house and get your first taste of beheading” before the parade.

In July, the teen pleaded guilty to inciting an act of terrorism overseas. Now 15, he must serve a minimum of five years in prison and will be released only if he is deemed not to be dangerous, the judge said.

The British teen, from Blackburn in northwest England, was first arrested in March over suspicion of threatening to kill his teachers. But when police examined his cellphone, they found a screensaver of Islamic State militants and messages about a terrorist plot in Australia. The Greater Manchester Police informed police in Australia, who arrested five men in April, a week before the parade. One of the men, Besim, has been charged with conspiring to commit terrorist acts and is awaiting trial.

The court heard that the Briton was struggling with school, home life and a degenerative eye condition, and that an online jihadist community had “filled a void” in his life, according to the BBC. Within a couple of weeks of setting up a Twitter account, he had amassed 24,000 followers.

His lawyer, Daniel King, told reporters that the teenager’s family was “completely unaware of his activities” and “relieved that no one was injured” as a result of his actions….

I’m sure they were shocked! Shocked!

    HOLY WOW………………….Islam is full of monsters.
    Shame on those ignoring it.

    I wish we could fight them old school.
    On a battlefield. Bare knuckle.

    Now hiding and killing innocents.

      Ich said, “Islam is full of monsters”

      A close companion of Mohammed, Abu Darda said, “Let us smile to the faces of some people while our hearts curse them.”

      Muslims are expected to hide their hatred of dirty kafirs behind a smile of feigned friendship.

      It’s the standard response. The parents always express shock and amazement when their little jihadi darlings disappear to enjoy the IS speciality of killing, torture and rape. In the next breath the fathers (the mothers are kept well out of sight) blame the government, police, authorities in general. Of course, radicalization couldn’t possibly have begun in the home.

      “His lawyer, Daniel King, told reporters that the teenager’s family was “completely unaware of his activities” and “relieved that no one was injured” as a result of his actions….”

      And I am Emperor Nero’s great-great-great (x 82) grandson, there are kosher leprechauns living in my garden shed making gold out of shamrock leaves, Adolf Hitler used to go on pilgrimages to Jerusalem, the ‘Titanic’ was made out of cork and the moon is made out of Edam cheese because it’s the right shape. And Ginger is dead right, this is the ‘standard response’ (i.e., lying through their teeth) which can get so fanciful that it almost beats my amazing revelations above. If they’re going to tell ‘porkies’, no doubt aided and abetted by their lawyer (and he’s apparently English!!! Perhaps a convert? But then he’s a lawyer, so he’ll be as bad anyway) then why don’t they be a bit more economical with the lies, because overdoing it like this just gives the game away. We’re getting so used all these spurious reams of inventive claptrap from these people that you’d think they’d have the sense to tone it down and get a bit of credibility (after all they’ve been publcly exposed with their proverbial undergarments down in so many similar situations before), or do they treally hink that we’re as idiotic and gullible as they are? There’s a well-known saying in the English language about exercising caution with the person who ‘doth ptotest too much’, so if that’s got into the common wisdom, why don’t these people realise that we’re probably nto their case before they even start exercising their creative faculties? The South Africans knew about this as well, as in one of their jokes; Q – ‘How do you know a muslim’s lying?’ A – ‘He opens his mouth’.

      The shock-horror headline here seems to be that we have a 14-year-old put away for life. Now is that bad, or is that bad? Put that into the context of muslim jail-patronage in the UK (over 21% of the total prison population in the London area, where muslims account for only about 4% of the general population) and add to that the rest os the disgusting behavioural garbage that we’re apparently expected to tolerate from them over here and one has to ask the question:- are these people really that immune to the realisation that they’ve building a collective reputation here in the UK that’s beginning to stink to high heaven, or/and don’t they
      realise that there will be consequences to their actions? Or do they believe that tney really are immune to any consequences, or perhaps that the consequences won’t for some reason matter? And how many other young islamic cherubs are there out there who should be in line for a life sentence? No doubt with parents who, of course, have no idea what they’ve been up to, honest, Your Honour?

    Well done Australia !!!

    I wish germany would stop to give them sentence under Juvenile law til 26 !!!

    They are criminal with 8 already – may commit 5 crimes til they are in trouble ( natives may commit ” only ” 3 )

      He was tried in the UK, not Australia. Here in Australia we are expected to embrace our baby jihadists because it’s never about Islam and it’s always someone else’s fault that the little darlings are misunderstood.

    Good to see the aussies throw the book at these vermin. It’s about time our government ( in the UK) started taking tougher measures against jihadist Muslims, whatever the crime, whether it’s a call to arms to join ISIS (although I’m debating with myself if its not better to let them piss off to Syria or wherever and hopefully die) , a terror plot, the sick bastards grooming young girls, or hate speech against Britain, zero tolerance across the board. In the absence of a death sentence which is how I would like to see the jihad plight dealt with, then sending them down to rot for life is the next best thing to deporting then (which the government won’t do and think it’s a better idea to keep an eye on them”.). That said, prison is a waste of the taxpayers money and in general a waste of oxygen. But alife sentence (life meaning LIFE ,not a measly 8 years, as anyone who knows the UK justice system tends to half sentences abd release dangerous criminals early ) might be more effective i deterring them. They can’t become martyrs behind bars can they? At the very worst they could murder a few infidel pedophiles or rapists, although I’m sure many muslims can relate to those kind of people, what with it being part of their cultural heritage, and the behavior of their barbaric prophet.

      Um, you do realise that it was the UK who ‘threw the book’ at him? (Yep, I can’t believe it either, must’ve been a judge who didn’t read the manual).

      ”At the court in Manchester’ was a clue.

      • Rikki H says

        Oct 2, 2015 at 6:11 pm

        Oops, I just read the headline and reacted in a haze of rage. Hmm. So in that case if he was sentenced in the UK he’ll be out in a year…

  6. just a cover up for weak kneed response says

    Oct 2, 2015 at 4:25 pm

    The small print in this is “released after five years” if the dhimmi can “deradicalise him”….what’s the bet he will trick the stupid, ignorant officials into thinking all those jihadi days are behind him and he will be released after 5 years. One thing that Islam does well – other than steal the wealth others creates – is to garner sympathy and to make them look like the victims. There has been over 20,000 muslim attacks worldwide since 9/11…but no Christian attacks. How long does it take for politicians to join the dots?

    Is this a life sentence or a Canadian-like “life sentence”?

    • Don McKellar says

      Oct 2, 2015 at 5:57 pm

      Oh, he’ll be out in 20 years at the very most. Maybe 15 with good behavior. So he’ll be thirty to mid-thirties, absolute prime of his life, ready to slaughter the infidels.

      This is why if the death sentence can’t be used, then castration needs to implemented for Islamic jihadis who are caught and convicted.

    Mohammed never said that Islam was a religion of peace. According to Mohammed, original Islam is jihad.

    Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
    I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up conducting jihad, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion. – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455

    Conducting jihad is the ‘original religion’ of Mohammed. Mohammed is the authority on Islam.

    Barack Obama and David Cameron say they know more about Islam than Mohammed.

    • Jay Boo says

      Oct 2, 2015 at 11:33 pm

      Muhammad also said,
      “I heard the Apostle of Allah say: Muhammad go have wild sex with your pretty daughter-in-law even if it violates your grandiose pretense at honor.
      And the three jinn daughters of Allah sang Doo dee Doo dee Doo

    • Jay Boo says

      Oct 2, 2015 at 11:38 pm

      The buffoon Muhammad has no real authority and deserves no respect in the least.
      Mohammed is the fake authority on the Satanic Verses.
      Islam is a pathetically shallow farce built from Muhammad’s Wet Dream of being a prophet

    A 15 year old Muslim boy has attacked the local police station in Parramatta, Sydney. He shot dead a civilian police employee before he was himself killed by other police officers. The press are calling him a “radicalised Muslim”, and are admitting it was a politically associated act of terror.

      I’m thoroughly disgusted a police officer was killed in cold blood in Australia for what?

      No doubt that animal has others who goaded him on and armed him and must be hunted down and dealt with.

      This is why Australians are so strongly opposed to immigrants from the Middle East because some of them who and how many, conceal their true motives until something like this happens.

      Somebody incited this despicable animal. Preachers must be held accountable but the problem is openly they profess to be friends but secretly plot.

      I can envisage the day when Muslims will become the new Jews unwanted in any society. If they can’t be civilised then they have to stay in their own countries.

      But society can’t accept them, give them a home and a life only for them to attack our societies. If they hate the west so much then don’t come here.

    The little democracy hating bastards might think twice before planning to attack the ‘hand that feeds’ if they knew that, when caught. that their entire family would be deported back to the country of origin.
