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

UK: 5 Muslims arrested in probe linked to Paris and Brussels jihad massacres

Apr 15, 2016 4:22 pm By Robert Spencer

The BBC, true to form, gives us no indication that these people were Muslims. The only hint is that the probe was linked to the Paris and Brussels jihad attacks. The BBC does all it can to make sure that Britons have no idea they’re embroiled in a global war.

UK-Police2

“UK terror arrests in probe ‘linked to Europe attacks,'” BBC, April 15, 2016:

Five people have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences as part of an investigation launched after the recent attacks in Paris and Brussels, West Midlands Police say.

Three men, aged 26, 40 and 59, and a 29-year-old woman, were held in Birmingham on Thursday night.

A fourth man, 26, was arrested at Gatwick Airport in the early hours of Friday. All five are from Birmingham.

Whitehall officials described the arrests as “significant”.

Police say they worked with MI5 and Belgian and French authorities in an operation “to address any associated threat to the UK following the attacks in Europe”.
‘Extensive investigation’

They said there was no risk to the public at any time and they had no information to suggest an attack in the UK was being planned.

It is understood that the man arrested at Gatwick Airport had just arrived on a flight into the UK originating in North Africa.

Police said all those arrested are being held in the West Midlands on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

Officers are also searching a number of properties in Birmingham….

    The BBC are now blatant in their support for all that spells the end of Western Civilisation. An abhorrent leftist cancer that needs to be cut out and destroyed immediately before all that we love us swept away. I loathe them with a passion.

      I am so sick of the official toleration of Islam and muslims.

    This comment is totally OT, but can anyone tell me what on earth their *ages* have got to do with anything ?

    It’s good these scum were caught. How long can it go on ? How long before one/two/three, whatever, are *not* caught ? And go on to commit mass murder in the name of ‘allah’ ?

    I wish, with all my heart, that the *next* mohammedan atrocity involves, not innocent citizens, but the evil, stinking, foul enablers and orchestrators of this whole clusterfuck. May they suffer and die.

      I don’t see their names (probably redacted in the name of “community cohesion), so my guess is that they needed to pad out the article.

      • Hope says

        Oh, yes. The names cannot be published, lest the information incite any “right wing extremism,” right?

      Actually ,the 59 yr old is the likely leader.
      Maybe an Imam

      Mirren,

      Let’s assume that there are twenty jihadists associated with each large scale attack in Europe. The estimate is that 5000 jihadists have returned, which yields 250 possible large scale attacks.

      Since Islam teaches that it’s a sin to snitch on a “brother”, this doesn’t bode well for the future. These sporatic attacks can go on indefinitely as new recruits join up. The vast majority of Muslims will not be jihadists. They also will not inform authorities of known jihadists nor physically defend infidels.

      one thing the ages do tell us is that none of these people were ‘misguided youth’.

      Four fully-grown men aged 26, 26, 40 and 59; and a 29-year-old [female].

      All of them fully adult; two well and truly *middle-aged*.

      Age and gender is all that the BBC can reveal without trembling at the thought of being accused of islamophobia and of seeing placards in street protests that replace “Corporation” with “Crusaders”.

    It looks as though those brave terrorists caught in Belgium are singing their hearts out.

    The BBC is now an organ of political censorship but still cloaks itself in the garb of its earlier reputation as a reliable source of unfiltered reportage and commentary. Another institution that has abandoned its own people.

    And they were coming FROM Africa. So all those potential Jihadi Muslims can just get on an airplane, pop into a Muslim country and the pop back into Europe or Britain and no one thinks this is unusual? Air fare is expensive. Where do they get the money? Do they all work? I thought a good part of Muslims are on the dole. That means the money is given to them from somewhere, yes? Any normal person would be suspicious! And if these people have dual citizenship, why doesn’t the authorities monitor such people?

    I guess Britain and EU are just asking to be attacked. SMH!

    Dear Robert,

    Fear not, the BBC has been omitting and distorting relevant facts on all or any issues associated with terrorism, immigration, Palestine and Israel to name but a few, for three or four decades. As an extreme organisation themselves the BBC is still the best reporters of news anywhere in the world. I “religiously” watch and listen to their broadcasts every day but I factor in/out all their liberal, progressive and leftist bullshit and the result is the plain god-honest TRUTH.

    I didn’t need to be told that the scum arrested in this piece were Muslims I knew immediately they were because the BBC, predictably, failed to mention the one and most important fact in this story. By the way so did the rest of Britain.

    From the article: “Officers are also searching a number of properties in Birmingham….”.

    Hmm.

    I hope that at least one *mosque* is amongst those “properties”.

    It is way past time that as and when a mosque is implicated in any investigations of this kind it will be surprise-raided and searched, *at once*. And if *anything* at all *suspicious* or downright illegal/ criminal/ seditious is uncovered by the search, then that mosque gets *shut down*… permanently… and then RAZED TO THE GROUND.

    If this procedure were followed every time a jihad attack takes place, is attempted, or is thwarted a-hatching, many an infidel country would soon find itself with a *lot* fewer mosques than before.

    Four others were arrested Monday April 4th. Two of them, a 24-year=old man arrested at Gatwick Airport and a 20-year-old woman arrested in west London, were released on bail the next day. Both are from Birminghalal.

    The elite media and Leftist politicians are insulated from the invasion they’ve created. When they finally wake up, Europe will cease to exist. Thank God NerO is on the way out here and either Cruz or Trump will stop the insanity of this modern day hijra.

    Re: “The BBC does all it can to make sure that Britons have no idea they’re embroiled in a global war.”

    That’s because they are owned by corporazis and in cahoots with the “security” industry – whose criminally negligent motto, like all corporazis, is:

    “There’s No Money In Solutions!”

    If these criminal frauds told people the truth, the muslim problem would be over in a week – thus depriving them of their victimology sales on both sides of the equation!
