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

Islamic State jihadi from UK went to Syria under the noses of security services while on bail for jihad terror offenses

Jan 4, 2016 8:32 pm By Robert Spencer

UK officials were probably too busy hounding counter-jihadists and banning foreign ones from entering the country to pay very close attention to the whereabouts of Abu Rumasayah.

“New Jihadi John revealed: family of British Muslim convert, Siddhartha Dhar, say he is Isil killer,” by Martin Evans, Telegraph, January 4, 2016:

The key suspect in the hunt for the new ‘Jihadi John’ was able to travel to Syria with his wife and four children under the noses of the security services, despite being on bail for alleged terrorism offences, it has emerged.

The family of British Muslim convert, Siddhartha Dhar, last night admitted that the killer seen shooting a prisoner in the head in the latest Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil) video, could be the 32-year-old former bouncy castle salesman from east London.

Both his mother and sister said they had watched the video, released by Isil on Sunday, and noticed similarities between the voice of the masked Jihadi and Dhar.

Dhar, who is also known as Abu Rumasayah, was arrested in September 2014 alongside the preacher Anjem Choudary on suspicion of belonging to the banned group Al-Muhajiroun.

Choudary will appear in court on suspicion of terror offences next week, but Dhar will not be in the dock alongside him after fleeing Britain.

Just hours after being granted police bail, Dhar caught a bus to Paris with his family and then travelled on to Syria where he joined Isil.

He then taunted the British authorities by boasting of his new life in the Caliphate and posted pictures on Twitter, showing him holding an AK-47 assault rifle in one arm and his baby son on the other.

Voice recognition experts working for the security services were last night understood to be urgently scrutinising the Isil video amid the suggestion that the Islamist’s voice matched that of Dhar.

Meanwhile in other developments

:: A child who also featured in the video was positively identified as the son of Jihadi bride, Grace Dare, from Lewisham, south east London.

:: Prime Minister, David Cameron, denounced the video as “despicable” but said people should watch it to remind themselves of Isil’s “ghastly” tactics.

:: Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, refused to answer questions about the Isil video.

If Dhar’s identity in the terrorist outrage is confirmed it will lead to uncomfortable questions for the security services, who allowed him to leave the country just hours after the police granted him bail.

Speaking at the family home, last night his mother, Sobita Dhar said she could not rule out that the man in the murderous video was her son.

She said: “I heard the voice, yes, but I don’t know, I’m not sure of the voice. These are the most difficult questions to answer. I just cannot say. I’m not sure within myself whether it is the truth or not.”

His sister, Konika Dhar, from north London said she did not want to believe that her brother could be responsible for the outrage, but conceded that the voice on the video “did sound like him”.

She said: “I can’t believe it. This is just so shocking for me. I don’t know what the authorities are doing to confirm the identity, but I need to know if it is.”

I am sure she is shocked! Shocked!

    This Muslim asshole eludes British authorities for a whole host of bogus and stupid reasons but Robert Spencer remains persona non grata in Britain. In microcosm, this functions as definitive proof that we live in the Age of Nonsense and that the authorities in charge of Western Civilization at present are failing it miserably.

    God, I am so sick of Islam. But I am even more sick of all the dhimmi excuse makers for Islam. Sadly, they abound. In the Oval Office. At 10 Downing Street. In the Elysee Palace. In…. In…. In…..

    I, for one, don’t care if the voice really is the voice of the alleged perp. I care about the competency of the security forces who let him skip town! I also care about the future, to see if Great Britain is going to let this creep, his wife/wives and children come back into the country. One possible way that can happen is: this creep claims “refugee status”! Let the games begin; Eligible Voters, Parliament, Prime Minister, Your Majesty the Queen, all of Great Britain. Let us see how resourceful you are in attempting to keep your country safe.

    “Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, refused to answer questions about the Isil video”.

    Britain is finished if this lizard is ever elected as Prime Minister.

    This latest ISIS front man is now living on borrowed time. Having identified who he is it’s only a matter of time before his judgement day arrives.

      Probably true, Baucent–and this is good.

      But how may more “Jihadi Johns” are now waiting in the wings in fast Islamizing Britain to take his place?

    There are many videos of this pig speaking along with Choudary on youtube spewing the usual conspiracy theories and Q’urine inspired hate.

    If Choudary isn’t allowed to slip out too (and that is a big “if”) I hope this pig’s actions ensure Choudary is put away for life. But given the fecklessness of Cameron and his government, I wouldn’t put anything past them including a complete acquittal for Choudary. And from the way Choudary talks, it looks like he is shooting for the Calif’s job in the case that Al Bagdadi croaks.

    Were the Security Services trained by the USA Department of Homeland Security or vice versa? Either way, British and American citizens are screwed.

    With a name like Siddharth I’d expect him to be a follower of Gautam Buddh.
    I don’t understand the appeal of Mohamadanism – even in their afterlife they are non-vegetarian and have slaves.
    Moslems hurt others physically and spiritually as they are always condemning the non-moslems to eternal hell. Islam is demented.

    Zero tolerance for any form of torture and slavery! Om shanti…

      Yes–this thug is almost certainly a “revert”–a former Hindu or Buddhist. Only sociopaths are drawn from civilized faiths like these to vicious Islam.

    Too civilized for our own good. Need the death penalty as a mandatory sentence for jihadism.

    Saudi Arabia is a terrorist state: it must be dismantled.

    Demon monarchs – all they know is raping, amputating limbs and death penalty and entrapment/enslavement.

    The UK queen is related to mohamed.

    Republic is far saner as a form of government.

    How does anyone know Siddharth is not Buddhist? What are Buddhists doing to dark South Asians in Burma, claiming they are Moslem. Is the issue race religion or both?

    Ahimsa and cheers! Om shanti Om!!!

      This is a ginned up “family tree” which is highly suspect. The only people pushing this ludicrous meme are pious Mohammedans.

      But what would this prove even if it *were* true? This would not make the Queen Muslim.

      More:

      How does anyone know Siddharth is not Buddhist?
      …………………………….

      The headline of the Telegraph article makes it quite clear that Siddhartha Dhar is a Muslim convert.

      Western courts of law and media generally cite a person’s legal name. Most converts to Islam fail to file a legal name change, because they despise Infidel authorities.

      It also say right in the article that Dhar is also known as Abu Rumasayah.

      But this is ludicrous in any case–why would a Buddhist work with a Jihad terror group and then decamp to the Islamic State to murder Infidels?

      Yet more:

      What are Buddhists doing to dark South Asians in Burma, claiming they are Moslem. Is the issue race religion or both?
      …………………………….

      The Burmese are not “claiming” the Rohingya are Muslim–they *are* Muslim. Most of them are not notably darker-skinned than non-Muslims in Burma.

      And they are waging violent Jihad against Infidel Burmese–just like Muslims everywhere.

      The Burmese, under the influence of decades of brutal Juntas, are striking back rather more forcefully than are Infidels elsewhere–but this is the only difference.

    Here’s another disturbing “fun fact”–this Jihadist was a *bouncy castle salesman*–what could be more innocent than these games for young children, usually used for birthday parties and carnivals?

    SO WHAT, THE BIGGEST JOKE IS, THAT IF, AND WHEN THIS BASTARD COMES BACK, HE WILL JUST BE ALLOWED TO RETURN INTO THE COUNTRY. HIS PASSPORT SHOULD BE CANCELLED AND HE, AND OTHERS LIKE HIM SHOULD, SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED BACK INTO BRITAIN EVER AGAIN.
