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

UK: Muslim teen plotted jihad massacres at Buckingham palace and Elton John concert

Sep 15, 2016 11:50 am By Robert Spencer

I’d want to commit suicide if I had to go to an Elton John concert, too, but this is different.

haroon-ali-syed

“Teenager, 19, ‘plotted suicide nail bomb attacks on London landmarks including Buckingham Palace and a 9/11 anniversary Elton John gig funded by online loans,'” by Chris Greenwood and Richard Spillett, MailOnline, September 13, 2016:

A young Muslim man is accused of attempting to buy guns and a suicide vest for an Islamic State-inspired massacre at Buckingham Palace.

Haroon Ali-Syed, 19, was arrested by counter-terrorism officers amid fears he was on the brink of committing an atrocity.

The IT student is also suspected of trying to contact a bombmaker to build a nail bomb, and researching an Elton John concert in Hyde Park which took place on Sunday to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

He is charged with planning to carry out an attack at a central London landmark, potentially Buckingham Palace or Oxford Street.

It is understood evidence against Ali-Syed was gathered in a joint operation between MI5 and Scotland Yard.

An undercover officer, posing as an extremist, infiltrated his circle and allegedly recorded exchanges of him preparing a terrorist attack.

Ali-Syed is accused of attempting to get hold of an improvised pressure cooker bomb built to instructions published online by Al Qaeda.

He allegedly made applications for loans worth £8,000 to finance his plans.

Yesterday, he appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court charged with preparing an act of terrorism between April 12 and September 9.

Prosecutor Thomas Halpin said Ali-Syed tried to contact someone online ‘to make an incendiary explosive device,’ asking an intermediary: ‘How many people this one bomb can kill or injure?’

He added: ‘His internet searches show he is searching busy places in London. Oxford Street, upcoming events in London. He is looking at internet searches. Where are soldiers in the UK, London’s top ten most crowded boroughs, Buckingham Palace, Royal Marines Reserve, City of London.’…

Ali-Syed is one of three men arrested during dawn raids and searches by unarmed officers in London and the Home Counties last Thursday. No weapons or bomb-making materials were recovered in the operation.

A second man, aged 20, was also held in west London on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act and failing to disclose information regarding an act of terrorism.

A third man, aged 19, who is originally from Mosul, Iraq, was arrested on suspicion of a religiously aggravated offence.

Both men were released on bail….

Oh, good.

    I’m sure this brute got some encouragement from the British establishment,
    which sells arms to Saudi Arabia.
    A hint as to the mindset of the UK Foreign Office, known as the Camel Corps
    for is muslimophilia, comes from today’s Daily Mail.
    “British ambassador to Saudi Arabia becomes first senior diplomat to convert to Islam and complete the Haj pilgrimage with Syrian Muslim wife”
    Couldn’t make it up.

      He converted in 2011. Maybe he can also serve as the Saudi ambassador to Britain and really streamline things. Hope he’s not trampled at the Hajj (sarc.)

      All Muslims invadors of the West and their progeny should be shipped off for a permanent Hajj to Saudi Arabia or to Iran to practice Islam as they like. NOT IN ANY WESTERN COUNTRY!

      As many EX-Muslims had warned Westerners, the totalitarian, supremacist, apartheid and imperialistic IDEOLOGY of Islam is worse than Nazism, as it also condones paedophilia, polygamy, rape, misogyny, FMG, slavery, looting and mass murder, because Mohamed himself committed all these crimes against humanity and he is a role model for all 1,600 ,millions of Muslims.

      Islam should be treated as Nazism and mosques as Nazi cells.

    Well, this is the first time I have ever disagreed with Robert about a remark in one of his posts, but here we go:

    SIR Elton John is one of pop music’s greatest artists, with a list of hits that extend far beyond my overgrown and elongating nose.

      Agree, but he’s also gay and we all know what muzzrats think of gays.

    A non-Muslim plotting such mass murder in a Muslim country would not need a lawyer. He would have been beheaded by now.

    MSM spin: Yet another mohammedan tragically thwarted by narrow minded kafirs in his attempt to distribute free nails to the needy.

    Released on bail? They will probably go straight to the home improvement center for a keg of nails.

    He added: ‘His internet searches show he is searching busy places in London. Oxford Street, upcoming events in London. He is looking at internet searches. Where are soldiers in the UK, London’s top ten most crowded boroughs, Buckingham Palace, Royal Marines Reserve, City of London.’…

    This could very well be my search history the next time I need to go to London – I want to know which routes to avoid.

    The asylum rules ought to be changed. Those oppressing women and Christians in the muslim majority World should not be allowed asylum.
    There is a heavy burden lying on the shoulders of those responsible for granting wrong persons asylum.
    The fewer muslims the fewer terrorists.

    UK: Muslim teen plotted jihad massacres at Buckingham palace and Elton John concert

    I’d want to commit suicide if I had to go to an Elton John concert…
    ………………………

    Cute. But, of course, it doesn’t matter *what* one’s tastes in music are–it is *all* Haram, from cheesy crooners to the most beautiful song.

    And more–live music of all kinds has always been a gathering point for Infidels, since long before Islam ever existed. And the targets are by definition completely Halal–either the “filthy Kuffar”, or Muslims who are such “hypocrites” that they dare listen to music–that is enough to mark them all for death under Islam.

    And this is not just intended to cause death and destruction–although pious Muslims do love their bloodshed–but also to sow terror among the Infidels in general, and to engender such fear that we adopt ipso facto Shari’ah norms–avoiding music events out of fear, or even canceling them outright.

    And Muslims have done this before: assaulting women at music festivals, murdering musicians, and, of recent note, the horrific attack on the Bataclan Theater in Paris during a Eagles of Death Metal concert, where pious Muslims slaughtered 89 people.

    God, I hate Islam.

    These guys are accused of plotting terrorist offences like bombings and they are released on bail!!??

    Good thing the mayor of London will now ban criticism of jihad. No will ever hear about Islamic terrorism anymore.

    • Judi says

      Sep 15, 2016 at 6:50 pm

      Mortimer – the mayor has gone over to Canada and met up with muzzrat convert Trudeau. He had the temerity to vilify Trump for his proposed ban of muzzrats and get this. He said “may the best man win and I hope SHE wins with a ‘stonking’ majority.

    Most of the terrorists are motivated by the Quran and Hadith. If Muhammad was alive today, he would be considered the mass-murderer and father of all terrorism.

    Quran 9:29- Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.

    Qur’an 9:123—O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.

    Qur’an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost.

    Sahih Muslim 30—Muhammad said: “I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah.”

    Sahih Muslim 4366—Muhammad said: “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslims.”

    Torture him !! It works !! find out all his contacts, You will do this one day ,start now, If you have not got the stomach I think there are unlimited numbers of people out here who will do it with pleasure. Why wait for his Islamic scum compatriots to destroy your people with nail bombs, machetes, bombs,beheadings. GET SOME BACKBONE OR REMAIN A NATION OF SNIVELLING INVERTEBRATES.

    I’m not sure how long the establishment can hide the truly evil intent of islam. It took a long time for the western democracies to recognize the threat of German national socialism, and every city in germany had to be flattened to negate that threat. The longer it takes to recognise the threat the more brutal the means to stop it. Muslims who read this stuff,: stop now or you will be vaporised.
