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

UK: Islamic studies teacher accused of helping two Muslims join the Islamic State

Feb 15, 2016 5:51 pm By Robert Spencer

The British authorities from David Cameron on down should ponder the implications of the fact that an Islamic studies teacher may have helped two Muslims join the Islamic State — you know, that thing that they all insist has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.

Ayman Shaukat

“Islamic studies teacher accused of helping two extremists flee to Syria ‘is a prankster who once locked friend in McDonald’s toilet,'” by Winnie Agbonlahor, Mailonline, February 15, 2016:

An Islamic studies teacher accused of helping two extremists flee to Syria is a prankster who once locked a friend in a McDonald’s toilet, a court heard.

Ayman Shaukat, 27, a key member of Islam Walsall in the west Midlands, is accused of driving two friends to the airport so they could join Islamic State.

Shaukat allegedly sympathised with IS and a picture of him posing in front of an ISIS-style flag in his bedroom was recovered from his mobile phone.

But Shaukat’s best friend Muhammed Jan today insisted he was a joker who used to mock the posturing of IS fighters.

He said he once had to be rescued from the toilets of a McDonald’s in Slough, Berks, by the Fire Brigade after Shaukat locked him in.

Mr Jan said he met Shaukat on the first day of secondary school and attended Coventry University with him to study law.

‘I saw him two or three times a week in a social capacity, we usually went out to eat somewhere, he was always the designated driver.’

Laughing as he recalled the incident in McDonald’s, he said his mate had locked him in the disabled toilet after he had specifically told him not to use it.

He continued: ‘I always used to take the mick out of him because he supports Chelsea and I support Man United.’

Asked if Shaukat had ever said or done anything that made him believe he sympathised with IS, he said: ‘He would talk about it when it was on TV, he’d discuss it but he wasn’t supportive.’

He added: ‘He had friends that were Sikh, Hindu, atheist, Christian – he never made decisions about his friends based on what their religion was.’

He added that Shaukat would laugh at IS, saying: ‘He used to joke about it.. These made up people thinking they’ve got a caliphate and he would just laugh about it.’

Shaukat previously told the court that Islam Walsall was set up to bring together the 20,000 Muslims in the town. He said the organisation was also set up for non-Muslims….

    Reading this post, routine by contemporary Moslemism standards, it struck me that Spencer should pose as a Moslem (little white skull cap, some other garb, keep the beard) and join an Islamic studies group. He could hear it from the horse’s mouth, or better put the horse’s ass’ mouth, and maybe capture some juicy tidbits on the high tech microphone stitched into the skull cap. That’d be great. It’s like being a junkie, I’m always looking for a bigger hit in Moslem Entertainment. I’m always calling out for more, and they keep dishing it up for my consumption. It’s time for some undercover work.

      See “Undercover Mosque” by Channel 4 Dispatches.
      Footage of seditious exhortations.

        Bear in mind that the channel 4 programs exposing various things muslim, where done by muslims unlike other dispatches programs.

        One sect of islam exposing another whilst if you payed attention having their own sects spokesman doing the thats not the reall islam al taqiyya.

    An Islamic studies teacher

    Man, looka t that face. Is that not a textbook example of an eminently punchable face?

    accused of helping two extremists flee to Syria is a prankster who once locked a friend in a McDonald’s toilet, a court heard.

    Yeah, it’s all a joke – locking someone in a McDonald’s bathroom, helping someone to join a terrorist group… Same thing, really /sarc. off…

    And we all know how funny muslims are. Not “ah ah, funny”, but “SILENCE INFIDEL – I KILL YOU” funny.

    Shaukat allegedly sympathised with IS and a picture of him posing in front of an ISIS-style flag in his bedroom was recovered from his mobile phone.

    But Shaukat’s best friend Muhammed Jan today insisted he was a joker who used to mock the posturing of IS fighters.

    This is the sort of made-up-as-he-goes-along excuse I’d expect from a 12-year-old bullying the special-ed kids, not that of a 27-year-old adult facing charges of facilitating a terrorist organization. In any case, I doubt that photo is the only evidence against him.

        Have the picture printed on a T-shirt.
        attach the T-shirt to your punchbag.
        Voila.

    Just one of the guys, hmmm, I doubt in sensitive England MI5 would arrest just for humor.

    Here’s something for the British elites to consider: JIHADISTS have attended ISLAMIC STUDY GROUPS wherein they study the FOUNDATIONAL SOURCE TEXTS OF ISLAM.

    So question for the elites: WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE is in those FOUNDATIONAL TEXTS of Islam that leads to VIOLENT ACTIONS? Hmmmm…? It’s obviously not the Golden Rule, because the Golden Rule is not found in Islam.

  5. mortimer says

    Feb 15, 2016 at 10:26 pm

    Typical jihadist: 1) drinks beer often 2) socializes with kafirs 3) friendly guy 4) enjoys pranks and fun 5) tells jokes about ISIS…always mocking terrorism 6) attends Islamic study group where they study the foundational texts.

    How could you tell Ayman Shaukat is a terrorist sympathizer? Only if you knew 6) was true!

    Length of beard + % of moustache trimmed off + distance between ankle bone and trouser hem = % chance of muzzie jihad nutter.

    • mortimer says

      Feb 16, 2016 at 2:44 am

      Read the signs, read the flags flying. They are messages.

      The jihad beard with clipped jihad mustache is a give-away. The facial hair style indicates a Muslim who is ready to commit jihad.

    • mortimer says

      Feb 16, 2016 at 2:51 am

      To pumbar…
      Note: the 9-11 jihadists wore gold chains and silk shirts, drank alcohol and visited prostitutes to disguise their jihadism.

      So how do we ever know for sure? We don’t. All Muslims must be suspects, because Mohammed tells Muslims to disguise their intent to kill.

      • pumbar says

        Feb 16, 2016 at 3:10 am

        That is true and, yes, we cannot be sure but we do know that the scraggly beard and clipped ‘tache means a jihadi.

        • Angemon says

          Feb 17, 2016 at 6:34 am

          Unfortunately, pumbar, knowing who to keep on a tight watch is only going to get harder. The islamic state exhorted muslims not to stand out, i.e., not to wear grow beards, not to carry a quran, not to talk about their religion, to hide their names (for example, calling oneself “Al” instead of “Ali”) – in short, to pretend they’re not muslims.

      Dont forget the level of how when you look at their faces, something seems dead inside.

    Here we go again……

    “He continued: ‘I always used to take the mick out of him because he supports Chelsea and I support Man United.’

    “….Asked if Shaukat had ever said or done anything that made him believe he sympathised with IS, he said: ‘He would talk about it when it was on TV, he’d discuss it but he wasn’t supportive.’

    “….‘He had friends that were Sikh, Hindu, atheist, Christian – he never made decisions about his friends based on what their religion was.’

    “He added that Shaukat would laugh at IS, saying: ‘He used to joke about it.. These made up people thinking they’ve got a caliphate and he would just laugh about it.’

    Shaukat previously told the court that Islam Walsall was set up to bring together the 20,000 Muslims in the town. He said the organisation was also set up for non-Muslims….”

    Taqiyya, taqiyya, taqiyya, lying through their teeth, again and again, ticking all the boxes to fool the kuffar, and people actually believe the slimy reptiles! Until they get caught out, because they’re not really that clever.

    You’d think people would have learned the lessons by now – you know, all those ‘good, respectable, trustworthy, upstanding’ muslim teachers, doctors. engineering/computer students, etc., who strangely get caught with their pants down when they bomb a bus, or an underground train, or Glasgow airport, or are found with nasty, devious plans to put on an unscheduled ‘firework display’ to give the unbelievers an experience they won’t forget in a hurry? Such NICE, thoughtful people!

    The only sure way to paradise is to kill infidels otherwise it is always a question “have I prayed enough, have I raped enough boys and girls, have I lied enough to make my faith seem acceptable to others”
    Killing infidels and gaining 72 virgins seems silly to me. What do the virgins think, whom are they, are they just disgusting muslim women or whom? It is confusing for me.

  10. Mark says

    Feb 18, 2016 at 9:15 pm

    Look closely into the face of a muslim, face to face or indeed at pictures of their faces…. and something is missing… like they are dead inside.
