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

UK: Five Muslims arrested on terror charges, bomb disposal team called in

Aug 27, 2016 11:14 am By Robert Spencer

Nary a mention in this Sky News report of the motivating ideology of the “men” who were arrested. That denial and willful ignorance is no way to win a war.

Birmingham bomb disposal

“Bomb Disposal Team Called: Five Terror Arrests In West Midlands,” Sky News, August 27, 2016:

Five men are held in the West Midlands on suspicion of terrorism offences as an Army bomb squad is sent into Birmingham.

An Army bomb disposal team has been called to the Lee Bank area of Birmingham after five men were arrested on terror charges.

The five men were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, police say.

Two of the men, aged 32 and 37, were arrested in the Stoke area of Staffordshire.

Another two men, aged 18 and 24, were arrested at their homes in Birmingham and the fifth man, 28, was arrested in another location in Birmingham.

West Midlands Police say that, as a result of one of the arrests, an Army bomb disposal team has been called in.

They added that this was “a precautionary measure”.

Staff at a nearby Pentahotel in Holloway Head said they had been warned by police to stay inside for their own safety.

The street has been sealed off but people were not being prevented from leaving the hotel, according to Sky sources….

        NO—-ASIANS !!!!

        In Sharia May´s Britainistan Muslims only make ENORMOUS contributions to British society.

        Its those ASIANS that go around blowing up women and children on buses and trains and abuse and gang rape thousands of little girls.

      They have carefully omitted any names, but I’d bet folding money that at least one of them is called ‘Mohammed’…

    Part Eight; Islamic Apocalypse!
    (from The Undoing:Islam by its own words, the amazing free e-book that’s turning heads in some very high places, get your copy orread it online here;- http://abelandsolomon.simplesite.com/424568444
    for the bigger picture read our full length book Islamic Apocalypse ;- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AS09LYW )

    A World Caliphate
    Surveys have consistently shown that a clear majority of Muslims around the world want to live under a Caliphate governed by Sharia Law. In Europe, 65% of Muslims immigrants thought Islamic rules were more important than the laws of the country they were living in. Every day the news media carry stories of the Islamic State beheading enemy fighters, brutal executiing gays, enslaving and raping non-Muslim women and more. Thousands of Muslim volunteers from around the globe have rushed to be part of this new Caliphate. The Islamic State openly tries to emulate Mohammed’s original Islam. This is not surprising given the millions of dollars of oil revenue that Muslim countries have invested around the world in building mosques and funding preachers who are actually just spreading true Mohammedan Islam. The ultimate aim of Islam is to bring the whole world under Islamic government and Sharia law, to be governed by the Koran.

    666 – The Mark of the Beast
    The Book of Revelation (13:15) says that the False Prophet causes those who will not worship the image of the Beast to be killed. Isn’t that what the Koran does; (9:5); “Kill the unbelievers…”? Are you aware of any other religion which orders its followers to kill everyone else? Revelation (20:4) even says the Christian martyrs will be “beheaded”, which is what the Koran commands in verse (8:12) “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads… ” Another clue to the identity of the Beast comes from Revelation verses (13:16-18); “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast, for it is the multitude of a man and its number is 666”. The Greek symbols for 666 were handwritten on St John’s original manuscript of the book as well as in early copies such as the Codex Vaticanus and they are uncannily similar to the Arabic word “Bismillah” meaning “in the name of Allah”. In fact, the handwritten Greek symbols are its mirror image accompanied by two crossed swords, a symbol for both Islam and jihad. Google “666 Allah” and see!

    World War III and Satan’s Throne
    It seems like the Apocalypse is very near, an end time prophecy that is materialising now talks about Iraq, Isaiah (13:16) says; “Their children will be smashed to death before their eyes; their houses will be looted, and their wives raped.” This is exactly what the Islamic State have been doing. We also now know from recently discovered documents that both Al Qaeda and the Islamic State have deliberately sought to provoke a worldwide military conflict between Islam and the rest of the world. There are a number of Islamic nations too which are being driven by Apocalyptic theology. These Muslims deeply believe that it is their duty to Allah to push the world towards a final great Armageddon; “Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack! …Let the nations be roused…. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” (Joel 3:9,12,14)

    Armageddon; the Valley of Decision
    Indeed, we are already in that war, it is wrongly called the “war on terror” but it really is a sort of war between Islam and the “West”. As the true Islam of Mohammed and his Koran are the very root of this “terror”, (and don’t forget that over 95% of all terrorism in the world is Islamist), we are currently in a World War III of ideas and ideals under another name. A spiritual and intellectual war of ideas and ideals. But a physical one too.

      While I agree that the Quran is a vile book, I am somewhat surprised by your references to the Bible to prove your point. Do you think that muslims will say “Oh gee the bible says that Islam is evil therefore it must be”? Seriously, when I read the Book of Revelation I think of the mystical Jewish kabbalah; the references to the ten and the seven which are found all through the bible and in Revelation….all very explainable if you know about the ten sephiroth. As a mystical treatise it is fine. On face value it is absurd. Do us all a favour and stop referring to bible eschatology as if it was a tool against Islam. It isn’t. It makes you look like a nutter.

    The Brits are so sensitive for their Muslim Guests, no names are mentioned in due reverence to the feelings of these murderers. Try being an American & make a small mistake in their Kingdom, your name will be posted everywhere by the MuslimMedia of UK.

    Gee wizz. No names where mentioned because it is an intelligence-led operation that is still in progress. Have you not considered that they don’t want to tip off any accomplices who are still being sought ?

    Berengaria, how do YOUR anti-terrorism police do it ? (the FBI, I presume ? ).
