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

UK: Muslima who plotted Islamic State jihad mass murder on 10th anniversary of 7/7 has sentence reduced

May 18, 2016 3:08 pm By Robert Spencer

The magnanimity and kindness of the kuffar will move Sana Khan to become a loyal British subject once she is released, won’t it? Won’t it? Probably not, actually. The Qur’an tells Muslims to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers (9:29), and doesn’t make an exception from those who are kind and merciful to Muslims.

Sana-Ahmed-Khan

“Woman who plotted ISIS attack in UK on 7/7 anniversary has sentence reduced due to ‘good character,'” by John Shammas, Rachel Bishop, and Greg Wilford, Mirror, May 17, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A woman who plotted with her husband to carry out an ISIS-inspired attack on the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings has had her sentence reduced.

Sana Khan, 24, was jailed for 25 years last December for preparing terrorist acts with her then-husband Mohammed Rehman.

But she had her sentence reduce by two years at the Court of Appeal today despite Lord Chief Justice for England and Wales, John Thomas, saying Khan “was determined to fulfil Islamic State’s cause for jihad by the carrying out of an act of terrorism within the UK.”

The couple’s plan was foiled when Khan’s husband asked Twitter followers: “Westfield shopping centre or London Underground?” after he tested a bomb in his back garden.

Rehman received a life sentence with a minimum of 27 years after he produced explosives and recorded a “martyrdom video” ahead of a possible suicide bombing in a crowded area of London.

During Khan’s sentencing at The Old Baily, Justice Jeremy Baker said he believed Khan had “full knowledge” of her husband’s terror plot and took a “full and active part in encouraging and planning [it].”

Delivering the verdict today, Lord Thomas said: “She was determined to fulfil Islamic State’s cause for jihad by the carrying out of an act of terrorism within the UK.

“She had provided funds to [Rehman], knowing the purpose for which he was using them.”

Explaining the reduction of Khan’s sentence, Lord Thomas referred to her “previous law-abiding life”, adding: “Taking into account her previous good character and her role in contrast to that of Rehman, the appropriate minimum term should have been 23 years.”

During the couple’s trial the court heard how Rehman used his bedroom as a bomb factory filled with deadly chemicals and explosives recipes, and even took to Twitter for help picking his targets.

Meanwhile his wife funded his Jihadi plot, using payday loans to buy 11kg of fertiliser to make into explosives….

    Her character was shown when she heeded the call of your ruler. And it was not good.

    There are many patriotic Brits who will never surrender to islam. Unfortunately there are many more who will and combined with the, God knows how many, muslims in my country we are pretty much up the creek.

    Khan will never be British nor law abiding.

    Time for the UK to deport her butt back to Syria.

    This is just one couple plotting and mixing chemicals, that they discovered….how many peaceful muslims live in the EU…?

    A full black hajib covered woman arrived at a stop lite next to me on a very sad day, don’t know where she was headed but I would love to know where she started her journey. So this next election can not come soon enough, if we make it.

    ……………………….

    “Good character”, huh? I guess this means this Jihadist hasn’t murdered any Infidels while in prison…

    How emboldened *is this*? How many more Jihad couples like this are there in the West?

    Will some Muslima please post, as a slave of Allah and property of the husband, what a Muslim woman expects to get in the next life as 1. Martyr, and 2. Just a good Muslima?

    These guys think they are getting multiple virgins for martyrdom – what do you expect to get?

      I found maybe 2 references to female Muslims in Paradise, in the Quran while reading it. Can’t they see how duped they are? It is ALL about men and their sexual gratification. I wonder if a woman who has had FGM will be made whole in Paradise so she may experience pleasure too? Don’t Muslim women see the disparity between what they and men are rewarded with? And remember, most of the people in hell are women!

      Paul said to the Galatians there is neither Greek nor Jew, slave nor free, male nor female for we are all one in Christ Jesus.

    She should be so lucky….
    If she were convicted in a Muslim country of even a lesser crime she would be in jail getting raped by the guards and eventually killed for having sex outside of marriage.

    It is astonishing to me to see so many news items of Muslimas getting compassion from the kuffar and never realizing they would not receive it under the sharia which they so proudly defend and promote.

    This underlines an issue that many people have been raising, including Donald Trump and – perhaps most of all – Robert Spencer.

    The problem is not with individual muslims, or with organisations like Al Quada or ISIS, or ‘radicalisation’. The problem stems from the underlying theology itself.

    Hence people of “good character” can suddenly emerge as terrorists.Until our judicial system recognises this, the courts will always be in a poor position to react properly.

    In my opinion, sentences for Islamic Terrorists should be INCREASED, on the grounds that it is a form of “hate crime”, and “previous good behavior” should NOT be regarded as a mitigating factor.

    Those who understand what is happening and vote against the usual political parties to try to get backbone into the establishment are tarred with the brush of “racism” by all and sundry.
    As in Sweden, the liberal leftie ruling classes dictate the terms of debate and anyone standing out against them is vilified, smeared and ostracised.

    The left have wormed their way into most of the establishment hierarchy, including the Tory party.

    Here’s one! This woman is probably spreading her islamic-cult infection every moment that she’s in jail. Her sentence should’ve been increased,not cut, and while I think about it, all muslim convicts ought to keep kept in ‘solitary’ to prevent the infection spreading!!

    The present form of Islam or more precisely Wahabi Islam strictly follows only one principle: Dar-Ul-Islam (place ruled by Muslims, and hence it is Heaven!) and Dar-Ul-Harab (place ruled by non-Muslims, and hence it is Hell!). It is the prime duty of the Muslims residing in Dar-Ul-Islam to convert the Dar-Ul-Harab also into Islamic place, be it by deceit, falsehood, cunning, or whatever the means available and they are fully pardoned by Allah the Almighty as if they are also in the course of His service! This is very clear core point of Islam that we must understand. Any dilution of understanding these things will be only at our own peril and the ultimate peril of our entire nation. You must of course be kind to the war torn people who are driven from their own country but they must be accepted only after their specific undertaking that they respect the law of the land above everything at all times, so long as they continue to reside in their place of refuge. And no mercy to the killer /killers of peace loving people or the ones that plot the ruination of other civilizations, in the name of Islalm!

    #Sana Khan, 24, was jailed for 25 years last December for preparing terrorist acts with her then-husband Mohammed Rehman………..

    QUESTION 1 :LOOK HER PICTURE

    A WOMEN NOT WEAR A HIJAB IN FRONT OF PUBLIC ,CAN WE SAY SHE WAS A MUSLIM?
    WHAT WAS FIRST IDENTITY OF A MUSLIM WOMEN?
    33: 59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful.

    QUESTION 2:IF SHE AND HER HUS PARTICIPATE AN ATTACK ,DOES IT CONSIDER AS AN ISLAMIC JIHAD?
    according to islam Public people have no right to punish the people: even they attack them/they saw illegal things from them:
    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 173
    It is narrated on the authority of Miqdad b. Aswad that he said. Messenger of Allah, you just see (here is a point): If I encountered a person amongst the infidels (in the battlefield) and he attacked me and struck me and cut off one of my hands with the sword. Then he (in order to protect himself from me) took shelter of a tree and said: I become Muslim for Allah’s sake. Messenger of Allah, can I kill him after he had uttered this? The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: Do not kill him. I (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand and uttered this after amputating it; should I then kill him? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Don’t kill him, for I you kill him, verily he would be in a position where you had been before killing him and verily you would be in a position where he had been before uttering (kalima).
    Malik :: Book 21 : Hadith 21.10.19
    Yahya said that Malik was asked whether someone who killed one of the enemy could keep the man’s effects without the permission of the Imam. He said, “No one can do that without the permission of the Imam. Only the Imam can make ijtihad. I have not heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ever said, ‘Whoever kills someone can have his effects,’ on any other day than the day of Hunayn.”
    Muslim :: Book 9 : Hadith 3569
    Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Sa’d b. ‘Ubada al-Ansari said: Messenger of Allah, tell the if a man finds his wife with another person, should he kill him? Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: No. Sa’d said: Why not? I swear by Him Who has honoured you with Truth. There upon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Listen to what your chief says.
    Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 82 :: Hadith 829
    Narrated Al-Mughira:
    Sa’d bin Ubada said, “If I found a man with my wife, I would kill him with the sharp side of my sword.” When the Prophet heard that he said, “Do you wonder at Sa’d’s sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I have more sense of ghira than Sa’d, and Allah has more sense of ghira than I.”
    People who take weapons for fight prohibited:
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 88 :: Hadith 190 ,191,192
    Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 43 :: Hadith 637

    SOME PERSON/PEOPLE HAS NO RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE JIHAD ,THE AUTHORITY OF DECLARE THE JIHAD IS THE RULER OF THAT STATE.
    WHEN?
    22:39. Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), ””””who are fighting them”””””””’, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allâh is Able to give them (believers) victory
    9: 12. But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism then fight (you) the leaders of disbelief (chiefs of Quraish – pagans of Makah) – for surely their oaths are nothing to them – so that they may stop (evil actions).
    9:13. Will you not fight a people who have violated their oaths (pagans of Makah) and intended to expel the Messenger, while they did attack you first? Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers.

    MY QUESTION DOES THE PUBLIC BRITISH TAKE ARMS FOR KILLING THESE HUS/WIFE?
    NO ,THEN HOW CAN THAT WOULD BEING AN ISLAMIC??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

      sham asks, “CAN WE SAY SHE WAS A MUSLIM?”
      (Fair question)

      But sham takes us from a reasonable start through a convoluted maze of unrelated Islamo-jibberish on to an end of fighting in the cause of defending Allah.

      From __
      33: 59 “…draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies …”

      To __
      9:13 “… “Will you not fight a people who …..blah … blah”

      Ah, here it is, the “not a real muslim” excuse.

      “WHAT WAS FIRST IDENTITY OF A MUSLIM WOMEN?
      33: 59. O Prophet!

      ”

      Meaning that muslim women are to be covered or else they are not real muslims. Meanwhile, a couple of months ago, this sham artist was passing the idea that the hijab was a matter of “modesty”:

      HIJAB SYMBOL OF MODESTY:

      Which is it, sham? Is the hijab a symbol of modesty that muslim women are free to adopt or muslim women women who don’t wear the hijab are not “real” muslimas?

    There was atime when this sort of thing was regarded as treason, and would be punished by having a noose put around her neck and the trapdoor released from underneath her. It is hard to believe that this time was actually during my existence on this planet, and shows how we’ve debased ourselves here in the West.

    Ah. How sentimental muslimahs are about anniversaries. She wanted to commemorate the date of jihad murders with more jihad murders. Islamic romance.
