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

London jihad murderer once stabbed a man in the face

Mar 23, 2017 10:10 pm By Robert Spencer

But he was a “peripheral figure,” says Theresa May: apparently there are a great many other Muslims in Britain who are even more violent and unhinged than Khalid Masood, and so there was no question of keeping him under surveillance. It is the Islamic State’s plan to overwhelm law enforcement with so many attacks and plots that the whole system collapses. It looks as if this plan is working just fine in the UK.

“EXCLUSIVE: London terror attacker Khalid Masood, 52, once stabbed a man in the FACE and changed from Kent schoolboy Adrian Elms to maniac who launched car and knife rampage through Westminster,” by Richard Spillett, Martin Robinson and Thomas Burrows, MailOnline, March 23, 2017:

The British-born jihadi who killed four and injured 29 in Westminster was last night revealed to be a middle-aged criminal career who MI5 had investigated in the past and had a previous conviction for stabbing a man in the nose.

English teacher Khalid Masood, 52, a ‘lone wolf’ attacker, who was living in the Birmingham area, had a series of convictions for assault and other crimes.

Scotland Yard revealed how Masood was known by a number of aliases and MailOnline can reveal he was born Adrian Elms to a single mother in Kent before his religious conversion. Masood has used the names Khalid Choudry and Adrian Ajao among others.

He grew up in a £300,000 house in the seaside town of Rye, East Sussex and had a long criminal history.

His first conviction was for criminal damage in November 1983, when he was just 19.

His last was for an attack in 2003, where he stabbed a 22-year-old man in the face, leaving him slumped in the driveway of a nursing home in Eastbourne. The victim was left needing cosmetic surgery after the vicious attack.

Masood is understood to have spent time in Lewes jail in East Sussex, Wayland prison in Norfolk and Ford open prison in West Sussex, The Times reported.

He was sentenced to two years for wounding in 2000 and sent back to jail in 2003 for the attack in Eastbourne.

Masood had never been convicted of terror offences, although Theresa May revealed this morning that he had been on MI5’s radar a number of years ago.

Police insist there was no intelligence suggesting he was about to unleash a terror attack.

Masood was a married father-of-three, and a religious convert who was into bodybuilding, according to Sky News. He had falsely given his profession as a teacher….

A Scotland Yard spokesman said this afternoon: ‘Masood was also known by a number of aliases. He was not the subject of any current investigations and there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack.

‘However, he was known to police and has a range of previous convictions for assaults, including GBH, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.

‘His first conviction was in November 1983 for criminal damage and his last conviction was in December 2003 for possession of a knife. He has not been convicted for any terrorism offences.’…

Giving details of the attacker’s background in Parliament today, Prime Minister Theresa May said: ‘The man was British-born and – some years ago – he was once investigated in relation to concerns about violent extremism. He was a peripheral figure.

‘The case is historic – he was not part of the current intelligence picture. There was no prior intelligence of his intent – or of the plot. Intensive investigations continue.’

Masood, 52, was born on Christmas Day 1964 in Kent as Adrian Elms, to his unmarried mother, Janet Elms. A little under two years later she married Phillip Ajao in Crawley, West Sussex….

By now using the surname Ajao, Masood met a woman and they had a child in 1992 before settling in the village of Northiam, near Hastings, East Sussex.

What happens over the next decade is unclear, but in 2003, he was accused of stabbing a man in the face. Masood was running a television aerial installation business at the time, [sic]

The following year, he appeared in Medway, in Kent, where he married a local Muslim woman. Six years later, he was living in Luton, which is known for its links to extremism….

    Taking into consideration numbers of Mohammedans in Britain (and the West at large), their plan on “overwhelming the system to cause is collapse” must indeed work pretty well. The more of them here, the more difficult it will be to control the situation right until the moment of actual collapse. Oh, dear… What morons are occupying high positions of power!

      He knows the numbers game, the “overwhelming of the system” as he mentions about policing, educations systems, security intelligence and etc.

      A quiet in depth interview, with much information, showing Tommy Robinson’s wide range and depth of understanding about islam and muslims in the UK.

      Tommy Robinson Interview on Westminster Terror Attack
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G54TKESUoLU
      32mins.42 secs.
      Half an hour, but much to reflect on, even if we know a fair bit about islam.

      Just putting the truth about islam out there.

      “Two types of people,
      those who have been affected by islam,
      those who are going to be affected by islam;
      then you wake up knowing……
      It is a whole new ball game …. and it is here”.

      Knowledge is power, when put into action.

      Well then, it looks like the only way to counter the threat is to quadruple the annual flow of Muslims into the country, until there is so many that they might start to attack themselves, and maybe leave us alone?

    “and there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack.”

    LOL!! Maybe they’re not up to speed on islamic literature? EVERY single orthodox muslim is commanded to terrorize, sine they are to follow the “perfect” example of their demented psychopath muhammad.

    Narrated Abu Huraira:
    Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror, and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220)

    Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I have been given superiority over the other prophets in six respects: I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; I have been helped by terror (in the hearts of enemies): spoils have been made lawful to me: the earth has been made for me clean and a place of worship; I have been sent to all mankind and the line of prophets is closed with me. (Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Number 1062, 1063, 1066, 1067)

    These fools in law enforcement and the media can’t/won’t use google?

    Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. – 1 Corinthians 3:18

    God bless.

    One particular faith has a lot of presence in prisons, where dawa is allowed to proceed unchecked, and has a strong appeal to violent criminals.

    Deja vu. We heard the same in all the jihadi attacks in France , Belgium , Germany , Sweden etc.

    So & so had a criminal record , was under police surveillance BUT not arrested & punished as so & so did not do any terrorist act. This kind of argument has only been emboldening the terrorists.

    Well…it’s not as if he KILLED the guy, am I right? I mean, he only stabbed him. OK, in the face, OK, all right…

    But it doesn’t say how badly the guy was hurt, maybe just a flesh wound: https://youtu.be/AAW6D21ICdg

    Bottom line: Until we ban outright the practice of islam in the United States, we will know no peace. None.

    “Go back Jack and do it again”, must be the slogan of the European justice systems.

    I think the liberals have assumed that under military protection, while believing in nothing, serving nothing, avoiding offspring, exclusively pursuing their own interests, and doing nothing for their nation, that no outside non-state actor could possibly put their lives and wealth at risk. Yet, here they are, facing the only force – Stealth Jihad – which can remove them by high-birthrate displacement as efficiently as a neutron bomb; leaving the infrastructure intact.

    The “leaders” in their aristocratic ignorance are fully trading their nations for a temporary wealth as they fill the labor supply with an opposing culture of supremacy.

    And there is no military solution for Stealth Jihad. That must be dealt with by stopping mass immigration on a national level and reporting jihad activity on a personal level. So far, there are few reports of jihad activity from Muslim groups…

      I’m afraid that “World Depopulation” is the slogan of the European elites.

      Since western civilization stands in the way of the elites’ One World Government and associated massive world depopulation, it needs to go first.

      Thus, the infestation of western countries by the elites in those countries.

      What do they have to gain?

      If they succeed in reducing the world population to 500,000, they will have all of the assets that used to belong to 6.5 billion people, plus the entire planet as their very own National Park.

    They say the Muslim was an English teacher, then say “He had falsely given his profession as a teacher….” So either he was teaching (probably dawah), or what, living on welfare handouts – probably collecting for him, the Muslima sow, and the three future jihadis? Either case is equally sickening; the leaders and society of Britain (and the whole West) are actively funding and supporting the Islamic takeover.

    The suicidal maniacs piloting Western civilization into the rocks must be removed from the helm. Government, politically correct corporations and their tentacles in all forms of media, insane academia, and the brain-washed, mind-numbed, spoiled, and complacent modern proletariat — they all need to be shaken to their core, before the Defense of Liberty can truly begin.

    I am afraid that the Muslims are either too dumb or too clever to ever carry out massive, spectacular attacks like they have in the past. The results will be a gradual takeover until it is too late; a horrifying realization of the fanciful frog-in-the-slowly-heating-pot fable. If this is true, only a coordinated revolt by the Rightful Citizenry can force the necessary change in direction.

    Dhimmi Theresa May can’t even think a step ahead to realise the inherent problem she poses.

    If this was a “peripheral” figure, how many other “peripheral” Muslims exist who can wreak exactly the same (or worse) jihadist havoc? Can law enforcement cover these “peripheral” Muslims, in addition to the non-peripheral Muslims on their hit lists, who can potentially go jihad at any moment?

    NOT GOOD ENOUGH BY FAR.
    One cannot help but notice that Prime Minister May and co. safe and sound in Parliament, almost immediately starts to sweep this entire incident under the carpet. They have 3 minute’s silence and then it’s business as usual. The rest of the bleating media herd start repeating it. Move along please, nothing to see, go back to sleep babies.
    This basically what May is saying,”The best way to defeat Muslim terrorism (apparently!) is to just forget about it and go about our normal, everyday activities as though absolutely nothing has happened. Let’s stick our heads in the sand and our backsides in the air! That is how we fight terrorists! Let’s pretend we are safe, after all there are millions of us and only 50-odd people have been directly hurt in this incident so that’s all right then, isn’t it?”
    No it is not alright! The only reason this maniac was shot and stopped was because he ran into security men with guns for the protection of MPs. If MPs are going to continue to allow an endless flow of Jihadis into Britain endangering the British public without suffiently monitoring and surveilling them, it is time to arm all British police officers!
    Oh, but he was a British-born Christian not an Muslim immigrant, muppets will chant. Yes, but he was converted and radicalised by wicked Muslim fanatics who knew a flakey nutcase when they saw one. This vile cult has NO place in British life!

    The case is historic – he was not part of the current intelligence picture. There was no prior intelligence of his intent – or of the plot. Intensive investigations continue.

    He was “radicalized”, wasn’t he?

    Mar 24, 2017 at 6:26 am

    I wonder if he converted to Islam when he was in prison. Many do.

    Another convert to the “religion of peace” with a violent,criminal record..
    Another convert who finds allah,the god of murder and hate…
    Another convert who finds that islam gives him the right to murder and maim because the koran sanctions it..
    Another convert who delights in doing evil in the name of his new found cult..

    And the leftie liberal media try so hard to say that this has nothing to do with islam…or not connected in any way with the teachings of the koran…

    “When opportunity arises KILL the infidels wherever you find them”
    koran 9:5

    “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood”
    koran 9:123

    “Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels”
    koran 8:60

    Kill…make war…terrorize.These are the commands of allah,that shadow god who approves of such wickedness.
    That is because allah is “the adversary of God pretending to be God”.
    Who else would promote such evil,or rejoice in such wickedness?
    Certainly Almighty God would not.
    Nothing to do with allah/islam/the koran the media will have you believe..

    People might say,where is God in all this?
    In the victims,the security people,the medical teams.
    It’s obvious where satan is:the murderer and his god.

    So we have 1 Policeman stabbed to death, 1 French Teacher and 1 US National killed and
    27 others injured by this cultist and we have the British PM going on record with “IT IS WRONG TO DESCRIBE THIS AS “Islamic terrorism”, IT IS “Islamist terrorism”, IT IS A PERVERSION OF A GREAT FAITH”

    These two jokers it seems cannot see the trees because of the wood.
    What will it take for Theresa May to change her tune and act sensibly and forcibly against this Islam cancer eating slowly but surely into Britains very soul, instead of cowtowing to Arab money.

    As for Sadiq Khan FORGET IT the chap will NEVER PUT HIS COUNTRY before the cult he follows and his puerile words will always reek of taqqiya.

    “… he was a “peripheral figure,” says Theresa May…”

    There must be quite a few ‘peripheral figures’ out there who shouldn’t be allowed on the streets.
    We are not going to ‘learn to live with this state of affairs’, we would rather fight for our dignity and freedom.
