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

UK: Muslim couple on way to Syria stopped at airport, arrested by counterterror cops

Oct 28, 2016 4:46 pm By Robert Spencer

What will British authorities say when this couple, stymied in their plans to join the jihad in Syria, decides to wage jihad right there in Britain?

London Luton Airport

“Man and woman, both 35, ‘on their way to Syria’ are stopped at Luton airport and arrested by counter-terror police,” by Richard Spillett, Mailonline, October 27, 2016:

A man and woman have been arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

The pair, both aged 35, were stopped at Luton Airport on Wednesday before being questioned by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command.

Police confirmed the arrests are related to suspected travel to Syria.

The man remains in custody while the woman has been bailed pending further enquiries.

The couple are understood to live with their children in a semi-detached house in Luton.

Officers from the Met and Bedfordshire Police raided the home at around 4pm on Wednesday.

Neighbours saw officers in forensic clothing remove computers from the building. The police were still in the property today and officers are on duty outside.

One women neighbour said: ‘They are a Bangladeshi family and moved in about two years ago.

‘They are very quiet and don’t get involved with other people. They don’t mix or communicate. There are three or four children. I have seen the wife take them to school.

‘The police have not told us what they are doing. They have taken computers away and are in white suits, so must still be looking for something.’

Another woman said: ‘The wife is very friendly. I have not lived here very long and so don’t know them, but I think they have several children. I don’t know what the husband does for a job.’…

Jihad, apparently.

    Mental retardation induced by religious zealotry strikes agains.

      It’s even more mentally deficient to stop the people from leaving. Can’t they let them go – and revoke their passport so they can’t return?

        Yes you are right. I guess it is part of the “Keep Your Terrorist At Home and Handy” government program. It is much more efficient to have the appropriate number of terrorist available right there, instead of spending good money to import them (of course they still import them because you can’t have enough of them around!

          Much better to wave them on their way, encourage them to take their friends, too, and let Putin and his efficient anti ISIS force deal with them.

          Problem solved, and the British taxpayers not footing the bill, for once.

    Just make sure she doesn’t bail while she’s on bail…

    Another woman said: ‘The wife is very friendly. I have not lived here very long and so don’t know them, but I think they have several children. I don’t know what the husband does for a job.’…

    My money would be he’s on the dole, I mean, “jihad seeker’s allowance”, and spent his days seeking ways to join the jihad in Syria.

    British authorities underestimate the Muslima! And both these people will most likely get pooh-poohed and sent their way. Why does Government NOT allow them to go to Shari’a? Just don’t let them BACK into the country. Get their DNA, photos, fingerprints and announce to other European Governments who is going to Syria so they can be caught if trying to emigrate in the way of Allah BACK.

    The British police should have let these two head to Syria.

    Then they should have revoked their British citizenship and not allowed them to come back to the UK.

    Instead, they have retained two jihadis in the UK.

      Yes, it is the British catch and release program. They will be released because the BBC will insist. They will be free to commit terror attacks win England. The Pope will say the devil made them do it, and demand that England bring more into their Country. The Archbishop of Canterbury, not to be outdone, will insist that double the number that the Pope demands should be imported.

      That is how it seems to be working these days.

      Oh, I forgot. Brexit will be postponed until there can be a full investigation into England’s refusal to accept the EU’s quota for imported terrorists.

    The UK should have let them leave but then prohibit them from returning.

      Exactly.

      That is what *every* majority-Infidel country, worldwide, should be doing; everywhere that Muslims holding citizenship or residency within said Infidel countries, are rushing off to wallow in the Syrian jihad bloodbath.

      Let them go; don’t let them back in.

      Instant reduction in risk of jihad attacks from within the gates.

      Imagine if this policy had been pursued from the beginning. We’d be rid of *thousands* of these evil thugs.

      And imagine if it had been pursued in tandem with a flat ban on all immigration of persons holding passports from OIC member countries, excepting only those that on strict investigation could be shown to be members of non-Muslim minorities from within said OIC countries.

      Our Muslim fifth column would already be starting to reach more manageable dimensions.

    To quote my favorite movie :
    “Were they shot while trying to escape? Or will they hang themselves in their cell?”.
    If it’s the camels turd they desire, please let them go!.
    BUT NEVER LET THESE CRIMINALS BACK!

    SO stupid! Daesh/ISIS is being obliterated in Syria, has no territory in Iraq and by it ‘s own admission
    ‘cannot defeat the infidel armies’. And these clowns want to join- well, let them.
