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

London attack: 7 Muslims arrested in multi-home raids

Mar 23, 2017 9:10 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Police said they believed the attacker acted alone and was “inspired by international terrorism.”

As usual, there were efforts to minimize the attack to divert the public away from the truth that the West is at an escalating war with Islamic jihadists and that those jihadis have ample community backing.

Not too long ago,  a Policy Exchange Poll out of the UK showed that half of all Muslims, if they knew someone with Islamic State links, would not report this fact to police; while a more recent survey showed that a third of young Muslims in France do not condemn violent jihad against the West such as Charlie Hebdo.

These “massive pre-dawn raids” described below suggests a jihadist ring with abettors, co-conspirators and harborers.

An update on this story. “London attack: UK police arrest 7 in massive pre-dawn raids”, by Ryan Gaydos, Fox News, March 23, 2017:

British police said Thursday that six homes were raided and seven arrests were made in connection to the terror attack that left five dead, including the attacker and a police officer.

Armed police carried out the raid in the central city of Birmingham, about 130 miles north of London. Police said they believed the attacker acted alone and was “inspired by international terrorism.” The identity of the attacker has not been released.

The chaos unfolded on the Westminster Bridge near the Parliament building when an SUV mowed down pedestrians on the bridge. London metro police counterterrorism Chief Mark Rowley said that 29 people were hospitalized and seven were in critical condition.

British Prime Minister Theresa May called the attack a “sick and depraved” act, but did not elevate the terror threat level, which was already at severe.

Three civilians were among those killed. Rowley identified the officer as Keith Palmer, 45, who had served as an officer for 15 years.

Rowley said Wednesday it was still “too early” to release the name of the attacker, but added that officials “think we know who the attacker is and are working to establish who his associates are.”….

    THE WORD OF TODAY FOR THE BRITISH PUBLIC: ‘COMMUNAL’.

    Ex. JIHAD is a COMMUNAL obligation for all Muslims.

    It is the DUTY of ALL Muslims to aid and abet JIHAD (terrorist warfare) against the DIRTY KUFAAR.

    You’re welcome.

    “He *acted* alone.” He had co-conspirators. That means, he was not a so-called *lone-wolf* and that he belonged to a “cell” of moslims organized to commit terror attacks. If the cell had more than seven or eight members, there will be more from this cell. If not, other cells will attack when their schedule for attack demands it. They are always planning. They don’t have “day jobs”…all they do is plan and scheme and get ready for the attack that they have been given as their assignment and attack on the date that has been set, at the time and place they have been directed by their bosses…it is elementary…it is elementary islam.

    “Inspired by international terrorism”

    What delusional garbage. Islamic terrorists are inspired by their evil Koranic ideology which they falsely claim is a religion and the example of its evil inventor.

    I’ve just watched insane BBC slow waltz a UK Muslim rep through a denial that the Westminster attack could have been known to Muslims.
    The Muslim population has sufficient coherence to march 000s strong holding placards stating ‘Behead All Who Insult Islam’ and ‘Shariah $ UK’.
    But it does not have sufficient self-awareness to indentify the evil within.
    Even when Muslim A admitted that they felt uncomfortable coming forward with information, the Beeb guy pressed on with his victimhood meme.

      “But it does not have sufficient self-awareness to indentify the evil within.”

      Assuming they identify it as “evil” to begin with.

    Of course they must cover for their fellow Ummah members: Mohammed demands this from them, and they all pay zakat (tax) from which at least 1/5 goes to jihad, directly or indirectly.
