The Herts & Essex Observer says that Cubeyda Hassan Jama is a “Finnish national,” and gives no hint about what kind of terrorism he was engaged in other than his name. This is common journalistic practice, and is deliberately misleading. Those who are uninformed, and they are legion, will have no idea that Jama is just another Islamic jihadist; their ignorance and complacency will be unshaken.
Does Cubeyda Hassan Jama consider himself Finnish? Is this an example of “Finnish terrorism,” or just of the craven irresponsibility of the journalistic establishment?
“Finnish national, 19, charged with terrorism offences after arrest at Stansted Airport,” Herts & Essex Observer, February 8, 2016:
A teenager has been charged with terrorism offences after he was arrested at Stansted Airport on Friday (February 5).

“engaging in conduct in preparation for giving effect to intention to commit acts of terrorism”
Obviously, succinctness is not a quality much valued by lawyers.
Charli Main says
NO–no-no- he was not plotting any terrorist activities. He was just a misunderstood computer lap-top salesman on a business trip.
Mark says
and he only picked up the briefcase with the bomb inside by accident because it was right next to the one with his laptop in by his desk.
lol

“Cubeyda Hassan Jama, 19, was planning to join the terrorist group when he took a flight from London to Romania, it is said.
He was arrested as he got off the plane in Bucharest on Friday, and was shipped back to the UK to face terror charges.”
“Jama, who is of Somali descent, moved to the UK in 2010 with his father and has been living in London Road, Thornton, southeast London.”
Judi says
Why was he shipped back to the UK? The authorities should have put him on the first plane heading to Syria where he could have joined ISIS. Instead, another mudslime scumbag clogging up the jails.

The “Herts & Essex Observer” is just one more “newspaper” more interested in preserving themselves against a jihad attack – a la Charlie Hebdo – than reporting the truth about a jihad story. Thanks to the internet the tide will turn, is turning, and when such dhimmis finally lose their jobs, they’ll only think the main thing was they risk managed the possibility of being attacked. Only when such spineless, corporate c**ksucker newspapers are boycotted out of existence will any real press emerge.

In Australia juvenile jihadist s have been charged with planning to set a kangaroo packed full of explosives loose in a huge crowd watching Anzac Day (veterans day) commemorations. Their plan was thwarted. Their plan was apparently tied up with some juveniles in England who have since been given a few years in juvenile detention. The kids involved are in their mid-teens. Isn’t this all surrealistic?

Obviously there’ll be a lot of UK readers in this thread, so apologies for reposting and being a bit off topic, but I am sure many will agree to or with this post…
An active petition to ban: “Sharia Law …. within the UK”: Deadline is March 10th, 2016, So far the petition has attracted 25,000 signatures. But 100,000 are required to get it into Parliament, and barely a month left. The link, and remember EVERY VOTE COUNTS:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107864
We’d be the first Western country debating Sharia in the National Assembly. However, if Sharia obtains legal status, then the endless demands of “cultural tolerance” & “being offended” will increase. But with the force of law – Mohammed’s “law”. Already 83 Sharia “courts” operate in the UK.
UK readers: Email your friends, print or just scribble the link onto a sheet of paper, when the opportunity arises, in a pub for instance, pass it on. Non-UK: Please urge your friends or relatives in the UK. There are far more than 100,000 people in the UK who want Sharia courts banned. They only need to know this petition exists. So,please copy and spread – and, if at all possible, letters to editors and your MPs.
