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

UK: Convert to Islam set up stall on London street to drum up support for the Islamic State

Jan 5, 2016 4:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam thinks his new religion is a call to commit treason, pledge allegiance to an entity that has declared war on his native land, and go to war against unbelievers. Authorities in the United Kingdom as well as everywhere else remain completely incurious about why conversion to the Religion of Peace so often results in exactly this pattern of behavior.

Ibrahim Anderson

“Ginger extremist ‘set up a stall on London’s Oxford Street to drum-up support for ISIS and told Muslim women who challenged him to die,'” by Lydia Willgress, MailOnline, January 5, 2016:

A ginger-bearded extremist allegedly set up a stall on London’s Oxford Street in a bid to drum up support for ISIS.

Ibrahim Anderson invited passers-by to back the terror group and handed out leaflets bearing its logo, a court heard.

The 38-year-old was joined by Shah Jahan Kahn, 63, as they attempted to engage with shoppers on the busy street for around two-and-a-half hours on August 9, 2014, it was said.

The men, who were part of a larger group, also allegedly told two Shia women to ‘go die’ after the sisters challenged the group about what their actions.

Mark Seymour, prosecuting at the Old Bailey, said the men were ‘well aware’ of what they were doing.

He added: ‘During the course of the afternoon the group in Oxford Street, who were acting together, invited support for ISIS through engaging with members of the public who were passing.

‘ISIS is a proscribed organisation and inviting support for a proscribed organisation is prohibited by law.’

Anderson has denied possessing information likely to be useful to a terrorist. He and Khan, who both live in Luton, Bedfordshire, also denied inviting support for a proscribed organisation.

Mr Seymour added that ISIS, also known as ISIL, was made a proscribed organisation on June 19, 2014.

CCTV captured Anderson and Khan among a group of six people arriving to set up the stall, with Anderson carrying the trestle table which formed its centrepiece at 2.39pm, the court heard.

Leaflets they were allegedly handing out referred to seven ‘great responsibilities’ of Muslims.

These ‘responsibilities’ included pledging an oath of allegiance to the Caliph, obeying the Caliph according to Shariah law and migrating and resettle in the caliphate.

It also spoke about educating people about the caliphate and ‘exposing any lies and fabrications made against the Islamic state’.

The leaflet continued: ‘After many attempts and many great sacrifices… the Muslims with the help of Allah have announced the re-establishment of the Khilafah (caliphate) and appointed an Imam as Khaleef (Muslim leader).’

Mr Seymour this referred to ISIS and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The court was told the police were also sent pictures of the stall by two sisters, who had been targeted by the men after they challenged them about what they were doing.

Asmaa and Reem Al-Jufaisha were returning from a nearby pro-Gaza march when they saw the stall around 3pm.

Anderson overheard them criticising ISIS and asked what was wrong with the group, it was claimed.

Mr Seymour said: ‘Asmaa said to him that ISIS were killing innocent people, Christians and Muslims, both Sunni and Shia.

‘The ginger man said that Shia Muslims were Khuffar, [or] aren’t real Muslims. When Asmaa said she was an Iraqi Shia Muslim he told her they were all Khuffar [sic] and should go back to Iraq and die.

‘When Reem told the man he was worse than Al Qaeda, the ginger man said: “What’s wrong with Al Qaeda and supporting something for the cause of your religion?” He said we should all support ISIS and help them.’

Anderson also told the sisters they would ‘burn in hell’ and should be killed, it is claimed, while Khan allegedly told Asmaa she was a disgrace to her religion and commented on Reem’s makeup….

    Looking on the bright side, Pastor McConnell who said “Islam is satanic, Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell” has been acquitted in an important case for free speech:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3385572/Preacher-called-Islam-satanic-not-guilty-offensive-remark.html

    • Veritas says

      Belfast Telegraph:

      “Belfast Pastor James McConnell has been cleared by a judge of making grossly offensive remarks about Islam. Afterward the verdict, the Pastor said: “When I preached that sermon I wasn’t against any Muslim, I was against the theology.” Supporters of Pastor McConnell gathered in the rain outside of Belfast Magistrates Court to sing and applaud his victory after he was cleared. Pastor McConnell had denied two charges, firstly improper use of a public electronic communications network and secondly, causing a grossly offensive message to be sent by means of a public electronic communications network.”

      The thought police in action.

      I was rather hoping for a debate about God and allah and why Islam is satanic. It would be interesting to see that in a court of law. There would appear to be plenty of evidence of Islamic hate speech. A whole book full of it.

      Does a public electronic communications network include all electronic devices? Since all electronic communication is monitored by the security services, can you be accused of hate speech by discussing such things with another person on a telephone?

      Will all anti-Islam speech eventually have to be vetted by a lawyer before being released into the public domain? Unfortunately the UK does not have a First Amendment.

        To Veritas- As per your 5:38 pm post stating the UK does not have a First Amendment, why can’t the elected representatives in Parliament enact a law identical to the US First Amendment? They need to do some work to earn their living! Right now, I am hearing on the news in NY that they might institute a ban on Donald Trump in the UK. He responded by stating that he would do something concerning his golf courses in Scotland. In exactly what way, I am not sure.

          We don’t have a written constitution for a start.

          Secondly European ideas on free speech differ from American. In America you can walk down the street, waving a nazi flag and say that all Jews and blacks should be kicked out. Thankfully you can not do that here.

          Our laws work both ways, convicting islamic hate preachers. Our system of rights are based on the ancient Saxon and Nordic legal systems of the middle ages. We are unique in being a European country who’s legal system is not based on Christianity, instead it is built on a foundation of secular precedent.

          We do not believe in blanket rights and are trying to get out of the stupid European Human Rights Act. An individual has no inherent entitlement to say whatever he wants without fear of consequence. There are consequences to our actions and British law is based on that principle.

          The American 1st amendment is a double edged sword. Our system is British, we don’t try to make America change it’s insane gun policies and don’t expect Americans to interfere in our laws.

      To ECAW- Thank you for posting about Pastor James McConnell. This is such good news. I pray twice a day for Almighty God to destroy ISIS and all the other creepy Islamist groups, OR for the Holy Spirit to convert them all to Jesus.

    High Treason laws in the UK:

    “Offences constituting high treason include plotting the murder of the sovereign; committing adultery with the sovereign’s consort, with the sovereign’s eldest unmarried daughter, or with the wife of the heir to the throne; levying war against the sovereign and adhering to the sovereign’s enemies, giving them aid or comfort; and attempting to undermine the lawfully established line of succession.”

      ISIS is not a recognised state and parliment has not declared war. Arrest an isis supporter for treason and the defence lawyer would have a field day. The problem with western legal systems is all the loop holes that lawyers use.

      isis needs to be recognised in the UN as a state, then we can bloody well declare war on them and do the job properly.

      • Diana says

        Jan 9, 2016 at 2:43 pm

        As cited, it would seem that any individual can “levy war against the sovereign” or “adhere to the sovereign’s enemies, giving them aid or comfort.”

        ISIS is not a sovereign state but it has levied war against us. Anyone who adheres to, aids or comforts ISIS is likewise guilty of treason.

    The same thing happened in my town a few years ago (before ISIS), but proselytising islam. After several complaints, a judge banned them. However, a couple of years later they were back! They still appear from time to time.

    “These ‘responsibilities’ included pledging an oath of allegiance to the Caliph, obeying the Caliph according to Shariah law and migrating and resettle in the caliphate.”

    I would happily hand out pamphlets to encourage them to migrate and resettle in the caliphate. Pamphlets should read that they must denounce all other citizenship to foreign lands formally and through completion of correct documentation and channels prior to heading off to la la land.

    I was a Muslim earlier and now left that cult by adapting the Sanatana way of life. The Sanatana way of life is easy to follow by Muslims desiring to live a civilized life. See http://sanatanaparishad.blogspot.in/

      What is Osho (aka Bagwhan Rajneesh) doing in that list? He ended up collecting Rolls Royces, guarded by machine gun wielding followers.

      • Cicero says

        Jan 6, 2016 at 3:53 pm

        Osho was a very perceptive and highly intelligent spiritual teacher well versed in the Hindu sacred teachings. People of all cultures who are seekers and are fearless in their thinking were drawn to the eternal teachings of the Vedas as expounded by Bhagavan Shri. Rajneesh

        There is no contradiction in enjoying artha ( wealth in all her forms) even if one is a spiritual person!

        The term Bhagavan is used as a mark of respect and also endearment. In Hinduism it is not blasphemous to refer to another human being as Bhagavan.

        • ECAW says

          I value the site of Jihad Watch and thework of Robert Spencer . I apprecaitethe mostly intelligent approach of the commentators and the high standard of debate usually evident therein.

          What detracts from the site are the evangelical Christians who do not lose any opportunity sneer at , deride and ridicule the proponents and teachers of. Hinduism ( aka Sanatan Dharma)

          Referring to posters with genuine intentions. As “suckers” is. A disgrace!

          I am beginning to doubtif evangelical Christianity can ever make any kind of alliance with Dharmic traditions to combat the mortal enemy of current civilizations.

        • ECAW says

          Jan 7, 2016 at 3:28 am

          I am not an evangelical Christian and nor is Mirren10 as far as I recall. I have no religion but I hold Hinduism in high regard as a relatively sophisticated and benign example.

          However, Rajneesh was a criminal charlatan whose following naturally developed into a cult, as do all such groups which base themselves on charismatic individuals rather than something more intangible.

          I am here because of another criminal charlatan, a much greater and more destructive one than Rajneesh but, in passing, I will point out what he was. Now, back to Mohammed…

        • Mirren10 says

          Jan 9, 2016 at 2:32 pm

          To Cicero.

          As ECAW has pointed out, I am not an evangelical Christian, I am an agnostic.

          I have absolutely nothing against Hinduism. The suckers I refer to are those who fall for, to quote ECAW’s admirable phrase, ”charismatic individuals rather than something more intangible.”

          From the link I posted;

          ”What follows is an inside look — based on witness statements, grand jury transcripts, police reports, court records and fresh interviews — at how Rajneesh leaders tried to skirt land-use and immigration laws only to have their schemes collapse to the point they decided killing Oregonians was the only way to save their religious utopia. ”

          You say;

          ”What detracts from the site are the evangelical Christians who do not lose any opportunity sneer at , deride and ridicule the proponents and teachers of. Hinduism ( aka Sanatan Dharma)”

          As has already been pointed out, *I* am an agnostic. I was deriding old Rajneesh, not Hinduism per se.

          However, *which* evangelical Christians here have sneered at, derided, or ridiculed Hinduism ? I haven’t seen any.

          *Any* religion can be criticised, Hinduism included. If you can’t stand the heat, mate, stay out of the kitchen.

    Ibrahim Anderson says out loud what 60% of Muslims think silently: kafirs do not deserve to live. But the British people deny that Ibrahim Anderson is spouting REAL ISLAM…rather than the British fantasy version of Islam.

    The British people have virtually no knowledge of Islam’s source texts: the Sira, hadiths, Koran, Sharia law manuals or of Islamic history and yet they consider themselves well-informed based on cultural Marxist indoctrination and moral relativism. Without having read ANY of the reading list above, the British people don’t know they haven’t a hope of understanding the DANGER of Islam.

    The British people are exceedingly gullible and exceedingly unaware of political Islam…they are dreamers, pollyannas, wishful thinkers, and romanticizers about Islam.

    British politicians and British journalists (not all of them…some are starting to ‘get it’) are badly letting the British people down.

      Unlikely to happen and you suggesting it and me seconding it would probably end with us in court for race hate. Ever feel like you are pushing water up hill?

      GB is a Christian country, other religions appear to get on with their business without offending people – Jews, Mormons etc but muslims! the most easily offended and intolerant religion on earth. talk about wanting their cake and eating it.

    White privilege ginger muzzle vs shi’ite brown skinned female. Hmm, I think most PC SJWs would suffer cranial explosions trying to figure out who to decry in this scenario. I think the ginger revert should come out as gay so we have all the bases covered.
