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

UK: Muslims plotted Islamic State jihad mass murder at beach resort

Apr 3, 2016 11:10 am By Robert Spencer

28 young Muslims, including five teenage girls who converted to Islam. No one in the group seems to have stood up and said, “But wait! Islam is a religion of peace!” How did they all get “brainwashed”? Why was the peaceful Islam upon which Britain is betting its future not in evidence, or able to rebut the “brainwashers”? Why are British authorities indifferent to the phenomenon of converts to Islam becoming jihadis, and why does neither the government nor the churches nor anyone else have any interest in teaching young people how to counter Islamic dawah?

Jafar Amer and Abdullah

“BRIGHTON TERROR PLOT: Teen ISIS jihadis ‘planned’ gun and knife attack on seaside town,” by Rebecca Flood, Express, April 3, 2016:

A GANG of nearly 30 young people from seaside town Brighton have been unmasked as budding jihadis who were feared to be plotting a terrorist attack.

Counter-terrorism officials identified the large group, of which roughly half are teenagers, as highly likely to flee to the Islamic State (ISIS) strongholds of Iraq and Syria.

The 28 strong gang, which includes five teenage girls who converted to Islam, were thought to be planning a terror attack in Brighton using knives or a pistol.

But it transpired five people, including three brothers, already slipped the clutches of UK security and managed to travel to war-torn Syria, joining up with Jabhat al-Nusra, an affiliate of al-Qaeda.

A further three, including one girl, have court orders preventing them from leaving for Syria.

The radicalised gang only emerged as part of a wider review for the council into three brothers who left their family home to take up arms in the country ravaged by civil war.

Amer, 22, Abdullah, 18, and Jaffar Deghayes, 17, left for Syria in 2014, along with their childhood friend Ibrahim Kamara, 19.

All but Amer are thought to have been killed fighting, who is still believed to be in Syria.

A report by counterterrorism officials revealed they feared some of the radicalised group were planning a Lee Rigby style attack on the streets of Brighton, home to 273,000 people.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, a source said: “The first threat level that they were concerned about is that some of them would take a knife and kill people, a bit like what happened in the Lee Rigby attack.”

Despite identifying weapons such as knives and pistols as likely to be used by the clan, they ruled out explosives and considered it unlikely a group of teenagers would be able to get their hands on any bomb making material.

The source added: “It’s obviously a serious concern that there are 28 young people brainwashed to the point that they want to join jihadist groups or consider plotting against innocent people here at home.

“The concern has not abated; there’s a lot of extremism-related problems lurking that the police nd [sic] social services are attempting to deal with.”…

But they will never be able to deal with it adequately, because they refuse to acknowledge the source of the problem.

    Indeed there are those (particulary in middle management in Brighton and in the U.K.), who devoid of any moral or ethical foundation; simply exacerbate the situation by using it to consolidate their coercive power bases within the organizations which employ them… A short term strategy bound to be overwhelmed by its consequences in the long run, as some would say …

      … consolidate their coercive power bases within the organizations which employ them…

      And it’s all about birth rates. As pointed out by Mark Steyn a few years back, military and police need young men and women to operate. Englishmen don’t procreate much anymore, which is leaving the services to staff up with Moslems way out of proportion to their numbers. From there look for them to further consolidate their power. It’s particularly worrisome when it comes to the expertise and even trigger control over weapons systems.

    While the clueless Western leaders are focused on overthrowing Assad’s regime and demonizing Russia and their leader (remember their Assad-must-go mantra!) muslim jihadists worldwide are planning and plotting to carry out multiple spectacular mass-murders in the West and they may even use W.M.D this time.

      A dirty bomb is the most likely of the WMD that could be deployed with reasonable technical expertise and a modest budget. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) detonation requires more technical expertise and budget, but would be thousands of times more devastating.

        True…Nuclear-armed islamic Pakistan is very close to be another failed muslim state and there is huge desire by the multiple islamic jihadist groups there to gain access to some of the Pakistani nukes and then use for jihadist terror attacks, very likely against the West. Pakistan is a very dangerous place indeed!

      In one way I wish they would get on and commit an attack that is so bad that western governments have to finally sit up and take note of what is happening, but I would not like to see any innocent people get hurt.
      Of course the chances are that no matter how bad the attack, the first response of any western government would be “we must watch out for an Islamophobic backlash against muslims

        Why on earth does the government keep people like these morons forcibly in the UK? If they hate us so much and want to kill all of us why not wave them goodbye, indeed assist them with their passage, and let them go to ISIS and Syria, hopefully they will all be killed and we can all get on with our lives in peace.

    Civilized people go to the beach to relax and be at peace with nature.
    An ocean side beach has an ancient timeless quality. It reminds us of how small and ephemeral we are in comparison and that there is something larger than our own narcissistic egos.

    If Muslims who plan such attacks knew that there would be a massive and immediate political as well as eye-for-an-eye backlash against their communities and duplicitous terror infrastructure jihad training centers also known as mosques they would not be so giddy with delight at the prospect of sowing fear in the hearts of infidels, in fact they would be rather contrite.
    That is the harsh reality, whether people are honest enough to admit it is a different topic.

      As I’ve posted before….rather than take them into western countries where they riot and cause mayhem why not LEAVE them in the countries they now reside in and since the bleeding heart LIBS feel so badly for their plight, why dont western nations repeat what they did during the late 40’s when the Berlin wall still stood?

      Simply fly numerous trips over their tented cities or hovels and drop food to them…..No more than that….cause to let them in any western country, these savages only no one way to thank their hose country and that is to riot and kill……..

    Peaceful islam is a myth. There has never been any sort of peaceful islam anywhere in the world.
    This all stems from it’s very foundation when Satan used a very evil psychopathic human as his instrument to influence human history.
    Every where islam has spread, like a horrible contagious disease, death has followed. By some estimates several hundred million innocent lives were taken in the name of Satan (aka.Allah).
    Why is wasn’t eradicated like Nazism was long ago, is a mystery.
    As long as it exists on our planet, no one is safe.
    Thank God for our constitution and the second amendment. Every citizen who can, must prepare to protect his home, family and self. It will get worse before it gets better.

    Time to close all radical mosques. All mosques should have surveillance.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Apr 4, 2016 at 2:24 am

      surprise-raid and search. Use the army. Army sappers. With sniffer dogs: dogs that can detect blood, illegal drugs, and explosives.

      Find ANYTHING at all, er.. ‘untoward’… once the forensics have been gathered and properly documented (including all fingerprints and check for DNA to check against existing databases)…. the place gets shut down and razed to the ground then and there – with dynamite or bulldozers – and every person in any way associated with its ‘preaching’ and financial support gets the third degree.

      The *only* exception to the ‘raze to the ground’ rule is if the premises are in heritage-listed buildings that were previously built and used by infidels – e.g. a former church or other historic building. *Then* – after being checked very carefully for booby-traps and dangerous substances – it is cleared of every trace of mohammedan occupation and repurposed for Infidel use once more.

      That should be happening all over Europe.

      And not only in Europe but pretty well every Infidel country that has been stupid enough to let Muslims in and let them build mosques aka jihad-command-and-control-centres.

    • Jayell says

      Apr 3, 2016 at 11:28 pm

      Quite. Let them go and either wallow in their righteous depravity for the rest of their Allah-given days or be killed. Preferably, for the sake of humanity, the latter. The worst aspect of this business is the revelation that five of these were teenage female converts. That is, no doubt, five English girls who have been targeted by these devious maniacs as part of their (sic) ‘charm-jihad’, adequate proof – if it were ever needed – that Islam is an obnoxious collective rotten apple that is gradually infecting UK society at grass roots level. If my perceptions and recollections serve me right, they’ve been at it ever since they first arrived, and it’s been going for ages in school playgrounds in polluted areas and anywhere else in the UK where there has been any kind of ‘meaningful contact’. Now that it seems that they’ve managed to infect the highest levels of the UK establishment (will the next Mayor of London be a Qu’ran-toting Muslim with jihadist connections?) what will be the plan of action before these specimens actually murder anyone on the beach, blow up any more underground trains, or blow up the famous Blackpool Tower (well, they’ve already had a go at the Eiffel Tower, now time for its little sister)?

      All kinds of videos exist for would-be jihadis on building very bad bombs in your own garage. The idea it takes great expertise (think of the talk about the Brussels bomb-maker blowing himself up like he was irreplaceable) is wrong. These aren’t such sophisticated devices.

      Or like the (“he was such a normal guy…”) jihadi in Tunisia, who got hold of an AK-47 and killed 38…it looks like in the future the Brits won’t have to travel to Tunisia to get slaughtered at a beach resort. They can just stay in Merry Old England.

      The Express article says “roughly 60 per cent of the crew are Islamic converts, and at least one girl had previously been referred to the government’s counter-radicalisation programme, Channel.” The government has an intervention program!

      You look up their pdf about Channel: “Channel is part of the Prevent strategy. The process is a multi-agency approach to identify and provide support to individuals who are at risk of being drawn into terrorism.” Needless to say, there is no mention of the words Islam, Muslim, Qur’an, Sunnah, Sharia, Muhammad. There is this: “The most significant of these threats is currently from terrorist organisations in Syria and Iraq, and Al Qa’ida associated groups. But terrorists associated with the extreme right also pose a continued threat to our safety and security.” Terrorist organizations (but nothing to do with Islam) and the equally threatening extreme right (Isamophobes included?).”

      Terrorism, according to Channel, comes from bullying, lack of self-esteem, peer pressure, the Internet, personal problems, most everything except the teachings of Islam itself. Nevertheless, there is this paragraph that hints there is an issue: “Where the individual has a need for theological/ideological support, Home Office approved intervention providers must be commissioned to mentor them. The mentoring aims to increase theological understanding and challenge extremist ideas where they are used to legitimise terrorism.”

      Problem solved.

      Lastly, this from the Express: “More than 800 British nationals, including 100 women, have traveled to either Syria or Iraq to engage in jihad. Roughly 100 are thought dead, and 450 are thought to have returned to the UK.” At least 450 trained fighters badly needing increased theological understanding from the Home Office.

    The ISIS jihadists ISIS in their mad Islamic quest to establish a caliphate, with all the cruel, brutal and murdering violence that is part of it, will not respond the reason. For the Muslim fanatics who compose ISIS cannot understand logic, nor do they care about reason. Those jihadists of ISIS in their irrational unquestioning blind Islamic faith have and leave no room for reason. In this unreasoning blind Islamic drive the jihadist/Muslims who make up ISIS are a reminder of what Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK. Which is “The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”

    Keep up the great work, Robert! Eventually people can’t escape the conclusion that there are too many “misunderstanders” of Islam in too many places to be a coincidence. As Turkey’s Erdogan pointed out, there are ISIS fighters from every country.

    RE the girls.

    Not *all* churches are unaware of Muslim dawa targeting their flocks – and those outside in the general society – or indifferent.

    Patrick and Rosemary Sookhdeo began warning about the Muslim targeting of infidel girls – not just ‘troubled’ girls from broken families, but nice well-brought-up Christian girls from church congregations – for conversion via ‘charm jihad’/ ‘marriage jihad’ long ago. Barnabas Fund *has* been trying to warn Christians and Christian congregations of all traditions about this.

    Rosemary Sookhdeo wrote a whole book about the conversion of western women to Islam, based on much pastoral experience. She called it ‘Stepping into the Shadows: why Western Women Convert to Islam”.
    Worth a read. Needs to be on every parent’s – and pastor’s – desk, well-thumbed, and much reflected upon. A spur to action.

    It isn’t all gloom and doom; she tells a number of stories of women, whether younger or older, who fell for mohammedan Sheikh Charmings and then, when the sheikh suddenly morphed into a hideous toad, re-thought, and got the hell back out, as fast as they possibly could Not all converts *stay* in the cult. The last chapter of the book has a fair bit of helpful practical advice for worried family members.

    And the reality is: if your kid – or your sibling or your friend or schoolmate or classmate – despite all your best efforts to dissuade them (and all one can do is try one’s best) foolishly or wickedly joins the Allah Gang, you better watch them like a hawk and, should they show the *least* sign of being likely to Go Jihad.. you **turn them in to the police** and other relevant Authorities, as fast as you can.

    None of the mass murders carried out by mohammedans since 9/11, and that was *three thousand*, have sufficed to awaken the political elites, and will, I suggest, never do so, unless and until their security cordons are breached and their own hides, and the hides of their loved ones, are singed.

    That is highly unlikely, because I would bet good money, that for all the nauseating islamopuffery, (thanks, dda !) no known mohammedan is allowed anywhere *near* the politician’s security arrangements.

    As for; ” … the lethargic Brits … ”

    Not all of us are lethargic. Pegida UK has a growing membership, and Anne Marie Waters is leading a protest outside Parliament in August. I hope very much to be there.
