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

Two Muslims arrested as UK police smash “significant” Islamic State jihad massacre plot, search London homes

Sep 9, 2016 2:41 am By Robert Spencer

“Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said recently that it is a matter of ‘when, not if’ an IS outrage is carried out in Britain.” Welcome to daily life in the new, multicultural Britain, thanks to Tony Blair, David Cameron, and Theresa May.

UK-Police2

“‘Isis plot to attack UK’ smashed by anti-terror police,” by Justin Davenport, Evening Standard, September 8, 2016:

Scotland Yard today smashed a suspected plot to launch an Islamic State terror attack in Britain after arresting two men in London.

Counter terror detectives swooped on the pair in west London and held both on suspicion of being involved in the “preparation of terrorist acts.”

The men, aged 19 and 20, were held at the same address in an early morning raid involving officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command and the South East Counter Terrorism Unit.

A number of addresses in west and south west London and the Thames Valley were also being searched by specialist officers today. Police would not comment on any seizures.

The operation is understood to be “significant” and is linked to Islamic extremism but police refused to reveal further details of the plot or any intended target.

Both men are from London.

The 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts in connection with an investigation by the Met’s counter terror unit.

The other, aged 20, was arrested on suspicion of funding terrorism and failure to disclose information regarding a terrorist act.

He was also arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts under a separate investigation by the South East Counter Terrorism Unit.

The current terrorist threat level in Britain is considered severe, meaning that an attack is highly likely.

Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said recently that it is a matter of “when, not if “ an IS outrage is carried out in Britain….

    When London is blown sky high and another 300 dead and 500 wounded like 2005 are lying bloody, mangled, and destroyed, the MSM, BBC, politicians and elite will be quick to blame Lord Nelson attacking Alexandria, Churchill’s missive on Muhammadism, and racism. ISIS will be quickly renamed to dissociate it from Mein Koranic fascism, and the Moslem gang will be given English names like Henry and William. I bet the MSM already have the material written and archived for usage.

      If the next target was the Houses of Parliament or Buckingham Palace The BBC would put on a sad face and the Guardian would actually cheer. The only option for ISIS to convince us that they really, really hate us and want to destroy us. soldiers, grannies, vicars and all, is to target the offices of the Beeb or Guardian Towers for their next outing. The narrative isn’t going to change otherwise.

      ps 52 and 700, but let’s not quibble.

        Yea, if they want us to hate them, starting with our biggest defenders of them would be efficient.

      Terrorists are welcome in UK, but those who warn about terrorists coming to UK will be prosecuted for intolerance!

      The British elites are insane to tolerate the terrorists, but harass the warners. Churchill warned about Hitler and was told to shut up. It’s a similar situation today.

    Why did the police not reveal the names of the two men? Afraid that the public will find out the men’s association with the “religion of peace”?

    My bet is that the two were born and brought up in England. In that case, it’s not just the new migrants from the middle east but also the second and third generation muslims born in Europe (and UK) that will be of serious concern. Remember, Anjem C was born in England but his allegiance is to mecca.

    Lastly, the Met Commissioner said that it is a matter of “when, not if “ an IS outrage is carried out in Britain. An outrage??!! That’s putting it mildly. I bet the British will be “miffed” if an “outrage” were to occur.

    The operation is understood to be “significant” and is linked to Islamic extremism but police refused to reveal further details of the plot or any intended target.

    Why? Standard operation procedure or would something in that scare people?

    islamic terror can be trimmed in no time. whole community is involved in terror. you never find a muslim exposing a jihadi , you never see high and cry the in muslim community when jihadi acts , shows all muslim have same kind of mind set. rich supports, for actions , poor acts as he gets paid ,intellectual watch and see no one dare to talk and expose these criminals.
    1, ban islamic schools,
    2 ban friday meeting root of all acts
    3. no govt jobs to islamic followers.
    4. financial aid limited to minimum

      The trouble is that it’s now apparent that the whole place is now infested, rather like having death watch beetle, woodworm and dry rot in the structure of the house. To keep the place standing we’d need major chemical treatment and ‘surgery’ and the longer we leave it, the more drastic the treatment. That’s when the citizens will have to take matters into their own hands – or else!

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Sep 9, 2016 at 7:54 am

      I’d add something else to that list, right at the top.

      “Surprise-search the mosques – and all associated premises and properties – and don’t forget to take along sniffer dogs trained to detect 1/ illicit drugs 2/ cadavers 3/ explosives…. and take along forensic accountatns, too, to go through any financial records on-site, and persons skilled at detecting tunnel entrances/ false floors/ false ceilings/ false walls/ hidden rooms/ hidden safes. Find anything …er… ‘dodgy’…? Shut the damn place down, resume the land for infidel purposes, raze the mosque to the ground, deport the imam and all his family and every other person associated with the mosque in any official or major-financial-support capacity”.

        DDA – Absolutely. As soon as Obama said that we are not at war with Islam, I knew we really are. We need to fight the war.

        I think there is enough evidence against Islam to issue a search warrant without time or location limits.

    The Muslims only have to be right once.

    And they told us that Muslims enrich our culture. Some enrichment!!

    • mortimer says

      Sep 9, 2016 at 9:40 am

      The dubious enrichment of living in unrelenting fear … never knowing which Muslim will start the next jihad attack.

      Muslims are permitted to deceive kafirs in six different ways:
      1•Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
      2•Kitman: deceit by omission.
      3•Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
      4•Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
      5•Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
      6•Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear ‘moderate’.
      Muslims imitate Allah ‘THE GREATEST OF DECEIVERS’.

        Thanks for this list Mortimer. I’ll tuck itaway somewhere.

        I’m always disturbed when I see the “greatest deceiver” quote though. Here are 50 translations plus the word for word version and only one of them uses the word “deceiver”:

    What is the social and financial cost of hosting a muslim population? There’s a research topic for any brave university types. Consider the thousands of Police hours devoted to monitoring “radicalized” members of the muslim community. Think of the hours and money spent on the intelligence services to keep tract of and uncover plots. Think of the fortune spent locking up the dangerous ones.
    The true cost of social enrichment.

      Yes. It would be better to help them in their own countries.

      Wouldn’t be a good career move would it? There are professors of Islamophobia I believe, but none of Islamorealism.

      Think of the girls robbed of their childhood and innocence by Pakistani gangs who groomed them for sex slavery and prostitution – think of the soldiers and sailors robbed of their limbs – think of the millions of hours wasted and loss of productivity due to airport security.

      On the other hand kebobs and hummus are good…but they certainly don’t make up for all the rest.

    The police in britain have already been infiltrated. Today they were talking about allowing Burka’s for policewomen – although l think they mean ‘niqab’ because the ‘burka’ covers everything with a piece gauze [mesh screen] covering the eyes.

    “West Midlands police in the UK have issued a statement saying they would allow Muslim police officers to wear the full burqa, in a bid to encourage more recruits from black and ethnic minority communities. A force spokeswoman said bosses would consider requests from officers who may want to wear the garment, which covers the body and face, although no such requests have been made as of yet.

    ​”We would need to consider our own rules and cultural sensitivity. We don’t have any barriers relating to the burqa,” ​Chief Constable Dave Thompson told Sputnik. “As it stands we have not had any approaches from potential recruits asking to wear the burqa, but if such an approach was made it is something we would have to consider. Serving the people of the West Midlands is at the heart of what we do and I would need to carefully consider anything that could be seen as standing in the way of that relationship.” These latest developments come shortly after the police in Scotland said they would allow Muslim women to wear the hijab and will make it an official optional part of the forces’ uniform”

      Sep 9, 2016 at 11:26 am

      This must be a hoax. For one thing I’m sure even the Old Bill can tell a burqa from a niqab and for another it would be all over the Daily Mail.

      • ECAW says

        Sep 9, 2016 at 11:36 am

        Ah, I see it is all over the Daily Mail:

        http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3781350/Police-force-planning-let-Muslim-officers-wear-BURKAS-attract-ethnic-female-minority-officers-boost-diversity.html

        Nevertheless my money is on the Mail being hoaxed. If not there will be hell to pay. You are not even allowed into a bank with your face covered.

        • ECAW says

          Sep 9, 2016 at 11:46 am

          And here in the local Midlands paper:

          http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2016/09/09/west-midlands-police-officers-may-wear-burkas/#5qef7lhwJo0S3Osl.99

          I still can’t believe it.

        • overman says

          Sep 9, 2016 at 1:37 pm

          Yes ECAW, it’s the beginning of the end. l thought it was a hoax too.

        • Greyhound Fancier says

          Sep 9, 2016 at 11:32 pm

          How would a police officer wearing a burka be able to drive a car? chase a suspect? direct traffic?

          I think they’ve utterly lost their collective minds.

  10. overman says

    Sep 9, 2016 at 11:15 am

    Also, today l noticed that the media said this: ‘Muslim [l think the used ‘muslim’] arrested for screaming ‘extreme comments’ – are they now replacing ‘Alahu Akbar’ with ‘extreme comments’.

    Could I please take this opportunity to request support for a petition to ban halal in the uk?

    https://www.change.org/p/rt-hon-theresa-may-mp-to-ban-halal-slaughter-in-the-uk?tk=CMnsxl4JPeUrJC4pvMkYZj1TdpdJ-xrHwEqY_SsCCEg&utm_source=petition_update&utm_medium=email

    I believe every signature, any support is a blow to this vile enemy of man and animal. Thanks.

    • overman says

      Sep 9, 2016 at 2:14 pm

      Yeah Charles it’s disgusting. Anyone with a knife can do it. I can’t believe how many UK/US shops sell Halal products. Of course, the petition is about animals, but l won’t even use there shops if l can help it [watch the money-trail]. KFC is notorious for selling Halal meat. lt’s not just Halal meat, though, when Ramadan was on this year, the watermelons in Asda UK [walmart owned] had big ramadan stickers on them. The site linked below can be searched for who sells halal products by country [in order to avoid].

    Only if this expected ISIS attack aims at MP’s and Govt. ministers will anything radical be done to eradicate the Islamist threat.in England. The indiscriminate murder of members of the general public does not matter to our wonderful leaders. I wonder how many must be murdered in the holy cause of ‘Islamic integration’ before questions are even asked. Building Mosques to accommodate and pacify Muslim sensibilities is not working , Turning an official ‘blind eye’ to the known mass rape of our young girls for 20 plus years has not satiated them. So, what next ???
