Jihad Watch

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

UK jihad murderer at Parliament possibly identified as well-known jihad preacher Abu Izzadeen UPDATE: It isn’t Izz

Mar 22, 2017 2:45 pm By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: The fake news Independent and Channel 4 have now retracted their previous identification of the attacker as Abu Izzadeen.

—

“We are the Muslims. We drink the blood of the enemy…That is Islam and that is jihad,” Abu Izzadeen has said. And now, if he was the jihad attacker in London today, he has made good on those words. Britain has allowed Abu Izzadeen and others like him to preach freely for years, while hounding and persecuting foes of jihad terror (and banning foreign ones from entering the country at all). Whether or not he is today’s jihad attacker, did they think preachers such as Abu Izzadeen didn’t mean what they said?

“London Attacker’s Name Surfaces,” by Giovanni Bruno, The Street, March 22, 2017:

Reports are circulating that the terrorist responsible for the attacks outside the Palace of Westminster in London today is hate preacher Abu Izzadeen Trevor Brooks from Clapton in Hackney….

      “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorise them) – Koran 8.60

      Normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

        The enclosed video should be shown on Hannity and or every other conservative TV show because it utterly destroys the FALSE mantra of ‘peaceful Muslims’ forever

        Please spread the following 6 minutes video PROVING that Muslims will NEVER be LOYAL citizens anywhere NOT Islamic

        This video has more than one million views already and needs YOUR help in spreading it to tens or hundreds of millions more through a Chain Reaction of viewers

        Here Here! How can anyone respect a “religion” that mows down innocent people walking down a sidewalk.

        “The blood of the enemy.”

        What a crock of crap!! Islam is evil. Pure evil.

    The “Islamophobia” slander is working. Rather than becoming more vigilant and wakeful, Western people are asleep to the jihadists who pass them on the street every day.

    WHEN SUPREMACISTS like Abu Izzadeen TALK violence, it is only a matter of months before they prepare themselves to ACT VIOLENTLY.

    Western people need to learn that Islam has an ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE OF HATRED called ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ which COMMANDS Muslims to HATE KAFIRS and then MAKE WAR AGAINST THOSE DIRTY KAFIRS to TERRORIZE, SUBJUGATE and ENSLAVE THEM.

    Jihad is Islam’s METHOD OF ENSLAVEMENT.

      Mirren, it turns out Abu Izzadeen is probably still in jail–I thought he was still behind bars.

      So this is likely one of the other thousands of Jihadists infesting the great city of London.

    • Mockingjay says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 1:27 pm

      – “UPDATE: It isn’t Izz” –

      – What a TREMENDOUS relief it is, to find out that “Izz” is still in jail, where he can continue to freely preach and inject others with the poison of islam, making jihadis out of innumerable sociopathic convicts, – who then can’t wait to get out and kill us for their newly found faith.

      – Yep, it’s all good news that “it isn’t Izz.”

    We know we lost this war against islamic terrorism when we see the British MSM doesn’t allow comments on this story (for fear one might associate the attack with muslims). Such practice is the true attack on democracy and freedom.

    WHY WAS TREVOR BROOKS/Abu Izzadeen EVER RELEASED?

    Abu Izzadeen (born Trevor Brooks, 18 April 1975), is a British spokesman for Al Ghurabaa, a British Muslim organisation banned under the Terrorism Act 2006 for the glorification of terrorism. He was convicted on charges of terrorist fund-raising and inciting terrorism overseas on 17 April 2008,[2] and sentenced to four and a half years in jail. He was released in May 2009,[3] after serving three and a half years, including time on remand.

    Abu Izzadeen is a British citizen born on 18 April 1975 in Hackney, east London, to a family originally from Jamaica. Brooks converted to Islam the day before he turned 18, on 17 April 1993, changing his name to Omar, but preferring to be called Abu Izadeen. He is fluent in Arabic.

    Abu Izzadeen met Omar Bakri Muhammed and Abu Hamza al-Masri at Finsbury Park Mosque in the 1990s; this is when he is thought to have been radicalized.

    He visited Pakistan in 2001, before the September 11 attacks, as part of Al-Muhajiroun; he claims he went there to give a series of lectures. He also claimed to have attended terror training camps in Afghanistan.

    April 2008

    On 17 April 2008 Izzadeen was among six men convicted at Kingston Crown Court of supporting terrorism, while the jury failed to reach a verdict on a third charge of encouraging terrorism.[16] He was subsequently jailed for four and a half years.

    November 2015

    On 14 November 2015, Izzadeen and Sulayman Keeler were detained by Hungarian police at Lőkösháza, Hungary on a train heading to Bucharest, Romania, because they were not able to identify themselves. During the time of their detention, on 17 November 2015, a European Arrest Warrant appeared in the Schengen Information System against both individuals. The two men did not inform the British authorities about leaving the UK despite the court decision ordering them to do so.

    SO WHY WAS THIS DANGEROUS JIHADIST ALLOWED TO WALK FREE AND ENDANGER THE PUBLIC?

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 5:39 pm

      I don’t think he has been released, Mortimer. This was probably some other pious Mohammedan thug. God help us, there are certainly plenty of them.

  7. John Smith says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 3:06 pm

    This a truly historic attack outside the parliament. I hope it sends a message to the UK leaders to stand up to jihad.

    The notable thing to me was how this person was treated after capture. Treated and then taken in an ambulance to the hospital. We know that if it was the opposite in a Muslim country this would never have happened. I am glad that we behave in a civilized way, although my primal instincts would have wanted to shoot him right there since there is no death penalty in England now. Look what multi-culturalism and tolerance have done to England. There are many, many good folks from Muslim countries living there I am sure, but there are also many who use the benefits of a democracy and then seek to take it back to the stone age from whence they came. Margaret Thatcher is missed I am sure.

    • Lynne says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 4:07 pm

      I am generally, a mild mannered senior but am flabbergasted why people are so dense about Islam. If I had been that ambulance driver, I would have taken a very long route to the hospital. By the way, I heard that George Soros was dead. Is it true? I hope so. Maybe his son won’t be as evil.

    “Abu Izzadeen Trevor Brooks”? Why mix his current and former (birth) name?

  10. davej says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 3:14 pm

    They may call it lecturing or preaching but for Muslims it means working themselves and others into a blood frenzy. This is the Religion of War – a psychopathic death cult that should not be allowed to exist in any civilized countries.

    Unless you want attacks like this to continue, repeatedly and forever more.

    Now they have the Houses of Parliament locked down and the Members huddled in fear. It’s your Country – is this what you want?

  11. marina says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 3:19 pm

    Non muslims should be encouraged or forced (for the unwilling) to read the koran. Only then they can make the connection between violence and Islam. The famliar saying “Islam has nothing to do with terrorism” is getting insufferable.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 5:50 pm

      Only Muslims force people to read the Qur’an.

      Infidels should be urged to educate themselves.

  12. revereridesagain says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 3:31 pm

    “Whether or not he is today’s jihad attacker, did they think preachers such as Abu Izzadeen didn’t mean what they said?”

    Of course they don’t. Everyone I’ve mentioned this latest attack to today has said the same thing: “But they’re not ALL like that! Do they know what made him do it?”

    “Islam”.

    “Oh, no. They’re not ALL like that.”

    At the very least there should be protests gong on in front of every mosque in GB by now. Nothing. There will be plenty of candles, balloons, and teddy bears, for sure, but marches on Parliament to demand a halt to Muslim immigration? Don’t hold your breath, mate. That would be Islamophobia. What we need is more tolerance, mate. Tolerance. Of bloody anything.

    And of course Robert and Pam will still not be allowed into London, will they. But Izzadeen, he got right through the open door. Also the door to Parliament, though he had to knife some poor copper to death to do it.

    Tolerance.

    • Bruce says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 12:51 pm

      So there is the big question… why do we have SO MANY PEOPLE who deny that Islam is a problem? The evidence is everywhere, yet they act like total imbeciles. Does anyone know why Westerners are acting like this? Does anyone know what we can do about it, or are we doomed?

      Maybe a better question would be “what is it going to take for people to wake up?”. 911 wasn’t big enough, so maybe it’s when they get their hands on a dirty bomb, or a real nuclear bomb. Perhaps that will get people to wake up to the true message of Islam.

      God help us all!

      • Shmooviyet says

        Mar 23, 2017 at 5:26 pm

        Agreed!

        For so many people appearances are Every Thing. Guess they’d rather see this bloodshed than be accused of or get an online reputation as an ‘islamaphobe’.
        Can’t lose those ‘likes’ and “social media” friends, especially those you’ve never personally met.
        FB started out as something quite different than what it’s sunk to.

  13. RationalVoice says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 4:49 pm

    If he is the well known hate preacher they think he is why is he walking the streets free.?
    Why have the citizens and visitors to London got to play the Lottery of Death ?
    How come the heavily armed policeman was killed by a nutter with a kitchen knife. This was at the entrance to the Houses of Parliament used by the MPs. Surely anyone especially with his appearance should be stopped at a gate first and checked out. He crashed the vehicle first into the railings so it was not exactly a stealth attack.
    The police seemed to have been slow to react at such a high profile target .Ironic,as we were shown a video of the new super anti- terrorist squad with all the impressive high tech gear zooming down the river in their inflatables keeping us all safe. We are now going to get static policemen at railway stations all over the country to kid us we are safe !!
    Questions need to be answered !!! Fast reaction not photo opportunities are needed . Bearded nutters in cars/trucks with kitchen knives don’t need high tech weapons to be dealt with .Locking them up or deporting them first would save the tax-payer a lot of money !!

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 5:53 pm

      Reports are–as I thought–that Abu Izzadeen is still in prison. But there are plenty of Jihadists like him roaming the streets of London.

  17. johnnybigtime says

    Mar 23, 2017 at 11:33 am

    The Koran is arguably, the most evil book ever written.
    Allah does not exist—He was a fictitious ‘moon god’ at the time of Mohammed. Hence the crescent moon and star on its emblems.
    Surah 9 speaks of ‘the people of the book’ (Jews and Christians). It says ‘slay them where ever you may find them’. There are at least 22 passages in the Koran which advocate raping, maiming and killing non Muslims.

    Compare this with the Bible, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself, love does no harm to a neighbour, therefore it is the fulfillment of the law’. Romans 13.
    The ten commandments state, ‘Thou shalt not kill’

    The Koran is a murderess death cult, energized by Satan; but all unbelievers and murderers will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death (1st physical death. 2nd spiritual death)
    Revelation 21:8

    People should be free to have any religion or belief. However, a religion which advocates harming or killing others should be banned. Therefore, the Koran should be banned and all mosques closed down immediately. I fear our politicians are too feeble to do this, so things will get worse until they do.
    I could go on—

    • Bruce says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 12:56 pm

      Great points Johnnybigtime, I’ve always wondered why Western legal systems do not ban the Quran as a hate document. There certainly are enough passages that advocate killing the Kafir, and people of the book. If I wrote something like that today to ‘go kill the Muslims’ I would be tossed in jail. Why do we have two standards?

  18. manfred says

    Mar 23, 2017 at 12:18 pm

    The actual perpetrator has been named as Khalid Masood from Birmingham (the English city, not the one in Alabama)

    There are some interesting parallels to the original suspect: He too is born in the UK and he too is a convert.

    So perhaps things have moved on from being just a question for immigration controls. When the fox is already in the hen house, closing the door will not help a lot.
