What do you think these three “British men,” Pervez Rafiq, Mashoud Miah and Mohammed Ibrahim Hussain could possibly have in common? What kind of terrorism could they possibly have been involved in? The Express doesn’t see fit to inform its readers about such matters. It is only intent on ensuring that we think of Rafiq, Miah and Hussain as “British men.” But one other question is, do they think of themselves as “British men”? Or do they have allegiance to another entity altogether — say, the global Muslim umma? The Express doesn’t concern itself with such questions, but there will probably soon come a day when the members of the umma will concern themselves with the Express.
“British trio charged with funding terrorism,” by Alix Culbertson, Express, March 4, 2016:
A GROUP of British men have been charged with funding terrorism.
Pervez Rafiq, of Huddersfield and Mashoud Miah and Mohammed Ibrahim Hussain, both of London, will appear in court today charged with arranging funds or property for the purposes of terrorism.
Raffia and Miah were arrested in April last year and Hussain was arrested in September, the North East Counter Terrorism (NECTU) unit said.
The unit has had to assure members of the public they are not in immediate danger, following the charges.
The trio have been charged with an offence under section 17 of the Terrorism Act, 2000.
An NECTU spokesman said: “The investigation was intelligence led and there is no evidence to suggest that any communities were or are at immediate risk in connection with this operation.”…
Of course. They never are.

Those damn Jain extremists-probably trying to raise the money to purchase halal combat rations.

“British men” is right – they are neither.
The UK needs to start deporting Muslims on their soil who have any kind of connection with terrorism.
Period.

+Every MUSLIM is a POTENTIAL TERRORIST in DAR-UL-HARB according to Quran.Hence,they should be treated likewise and deported.You can never afford to have poisonous creatures in your house and live in peace,
bridgette barrow says
Britain can’t seem to deport their musrats because they don’t know where they came from – they’ve burned their passports. The other reason is that the countries some of them came from with passports don’t want them.
American says
As time passes, more Muslim will enter the police force, the FBI, the government. Then, they will simply not be bothered with such trivia a “financing terrorism”, Muslim rape gangs, quashing of the freedom of speech, genocide of Christians and Jews. It will happen. Then, where are we? Pretty much gone, I guess. We have to stop letting them in, and weed out and deport those who are here. Once this door is open, it’s really hard to close it – and it’s wide open.
mortimer says
Too true. The Pakistani and Egyptian police forces are filled with Sharia supremacists.
Judi says
I urge people to see the film “London Has Fallen”. It might seem a bit far-fetched, but it could very well happen when muzzrats infiltrate the police force and the army.
mortimer says
“BRITISH men”?? Preposterous.
They are Muslim supremacists in their own minds and nothing else. They are merely USING the British passport to betray Britain. Rather cynical. It could also be called ‘treasonous sedition’.
Angemon says
All good, traditional British names, right?

And who are these ‘British men’?
“Pervez Rafiq, Mashoud Miah and Mohammed Ibrahim Hussain ”
Not exactly what you’d call typical ‘British’ names as far as most of the world is concerned, and certainly not as far as any SELF-RESPECTING English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish citizen is concerned.
I haven’t actually seen the headline quoted here, but I can tell you that the vast majority of people on these ‘sceptered isles’ (or should that read ‘septic isles’ these days?) are absolutely sick to death with reading that sort of PC trash and having their name dragged through the mud like this. The only group of people indigenously connected with this part of the world who in recent times have justifiably had their collective name linked with ‘terrorism’ have been members of the various IRA factions, and these would have seen it as an insult to be called ‘British’ – thank God. Because, traditionally, the ‘British’ ethos has been strictly based on principles of adherence to the Rule of Law, fair play, mutual respect and democracy. At least, that was what was always drummed into my head in days past. And even if the the halo might have slipped occasionally in the past, those who have allowed the ‘slippage’ have been put in no doubt as to where they stand; except I can’t find much in the way of references to ‘British terrorism’ in the history books, to the extent that the term comes across as a ridiculous oxymoron – until now, apparently.
Let’s be absolutely straight. The likes of Pervez Rafiq, Mashoud Miah and Mohammed Ibrahim Hussain are people from lands afar who invited themselves to the UK for ‘a better life’ (just like all those ‘poor refugees’ currently attempting to break down the border fences between Greece and Macedonia, or creating mayhem and assaulting police and citizens in and around Calais, or attacking or molesting the citizens Germany, or robbing and groping tourists and raping young boys in Austria….). Whether of not that was also supposed to mean a ‘better life’ for the natives of Europe (or the UK, or Scandinavia, or wherever) who just happen to be paying megabucks in their taxes to keep these new uninvited guests in the manner to which they seem to think they’re entitled, is apparently quite another matter. As is also the small matter of paying due respect and consideration to the laws, culture, customs and sensibilities of their new (reluctant) hosts. Including things like indulging in terrorism in a historically law-abiding society.
Which brings me back to ‘British citizens’ like Pervez Rafiq, Mashoud Miah and Mohammed Ibrahim Hussain. ‘British Citizens???’ Don’t make me vomit.

If you say that outdoors in UK, they’ll arrest you now. Freedom of expression in UK is dead.
Paul Weston was arrested for reading outdoors a passage from Winston Churchill! They are enforcing Sharia laws stipulation of not saying anything ‘impermissible’ about Islam.
