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

UK police on London jihadi: “There is a possibility we will never understand why he did this”

Mar 25, 2017 8:25 pm By Robert Spencer

They’ve arrested many people in connection with the attack, but they say he acted alone. He was a “very religious” Muslim following an Islamic State modus operandi — running down people in a car and then getting out and stabbing — that other Islamic jihadis have followed in the recent past, and they say, “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this.”

British officials don’t admit that there is an Islamic jihad against Britain and the non-Muslim world in general, and so of course they don’t understand why he did this. When the last pockets of resistance are conquered and Sharia is fully implemented in Britain, the last Briton who remembers that Britain was once a free society but, like the overwhelming majority of his countrymen, is concerned above all to observe politically correct niceties and never appear “racist,” will say of his new masters and overlords: “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why they conquered and subjugated us.” Maybe that person will be Neil Basu.

“Westminster attacker acted alone and motive may never be known, say police,” by Ewen MacAskill, Guardian, March 25, 2017:

Police investigating the Westminster attack have concluded that Khalid Masood acted entirely alone for reasons that may never be known.

In the most detailed breakdown yet of events on Westminster Bridge and parliament on Wednesday, police said that the entire attack, in which Masood had killed four people before being shot dead, lasted a mere 82 seconds.

After four days of intensive inquiries across England and Wales, involving hundreds of officers, the Metropolitan police said they had so far failed to establish the reason for the attack. It is continuing to look at whether Masood was prompted by online propaganda by Islamic State, which has claimed he was a “soldier”, or whether he had some other sense of grievance.

But deputy assistant Metropolitan police commissioner Neil Basu said: “We still believe that Masood acted alone on the day and there is no information or intelligence to suggest there are further attacks planned.”

The security services do not like the term “lone wolf”, feeling that it glamorises an attacker, and instead prefer “lone actor”. Although 11 people were arrested in the aftermath of the attack, eight have since been released, with no further action to be taken. A 58-year-old man remained in custody on Saturday and two more have been released on bail.

Police are investigating media reports that Masood checked his encrypted messaging service WhatsApp – or even sent a message – just before the attack, which hinted at others being involved. The police statement confirming that he was a lone actor does not appear to support suggestions that he had been in touch with an accomplice.

Basu, who is the senior national coordinator for UK counter-terrorism policing, said: “Even if he acted alone in the preparation, we need to establish with absolute clarity why he did these unspeakable acts to bring reassurance to Londoners, and to provide answers and closure for the families of those killed and the victims and survivors of this atrocity.

“We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this. That understanding may have died with him.”…

    I reckon the police still wouldn’t get it, even if Masood and other like-minded jihadists were to message the police DIRECTLY before their attack and say:

    “I am committing jihad and killing infidels in the name of Allah and Islam. I am following Mohammed’s example by carrying out these attacks. I am a devout Muslim who goes to the mosque every Friday. I am inspired by the teachings as contained in the Koran, the Hadith and the example of Mohammed. This is why I am doing this”.

        Ha, indeed. Their response would probably be something like: “well, we can’t take him at his word. He’s obviously confused – Islam means peace after all. What he’s written really points towards his economic circumstances and social alienation from racist, British culture – this must be the cause of his violence.”

      They didn’t get it when the murderers of Lee Rigby paraded in the street, being filmed on people’s phones, with blood dripping off their hands and proclaimed that they had done it for Allah and because they were Muslims.
      The (Islamic converts, just as in this case of Westminster Bridge) went out of their way to try to make people understand that they did it because of Islam.

      Sadly the British Government and police didn’t seem to understand them.
      One wonders what more they need to do?

        The Coffee Crisp Kuffars won’t get it until the United Kingdom suffers a terrorist attack with thousands of deaths, on the scale of 9/11 or even greater. Perhaps then (and that’s a huge *perhaps*), they will finally realize that there is an Islamofascist jihad going on against Britain and against the non-Muslim world in general (and sometimes even Muslims vs. Muslims, as in the case of Sunni vs. Shi’as, for example).

        I wouldn’t count on it, though. Too many CCK’s are brainwashed with nauseating, saccharine, multi-culti political correctness to the extent that *nothing* will convince them.

        Hopefully, kill some British politicians and their families. Rape the wives and daughters (and even-like the far left woman in the House of Lords) and then mutilate and kill them.

        MAYBE then they will wake up

    • epistemology says

      Mar 26, 2017 at 10:07 am

      Police, politicians and media in Western countries willfully ignore the true motives of jihadis or they just misinform the public, they always speak of isolated cases, crimes committed by some misguided individuals who misunderstand the true message of the religion of peace(TM). Fortunately they can’t con JW readers.

      It’s only a matter of time, the next terror attack will be in France and/or Germany, The French will vote in May and the Germans in September. But it takes a long time until people wake up and realize what Islam is really about.

    Well no doubt this statement is true. These poor people will never figure this out. It’s so complicated..

So, they are protesting the lack of chocolate factories in Hawaii, but why is it no one else cares about this gross injustice.

          Ireland has to be careful, before rapefugees and ‘grooming gangs’ take root there and start preying on young Irish lasses. It has already happened in most other Western European countries, and will probably start happening in Canada and Australia soon, if it hasn’t already.

          Mar 26, 2017 at 11:16 am

          Since Ireland (during WW2) was pro-Nazi (although not an active partner) it should not be that difficult for the Irish to agree to Islam.

        Almost certainly following orders. As a policeman he probably knows more about what is going on than most people do. If this policeman was to (publicly) tell the truth about Islam and the Islamic threat to the UK he would be kicked out of his job, spend the rest of his life in human rights courts, either the EU or the UN and have an Islamic death threat hanging over his head until as such time they could get him.

    “…Police investigating the Westminster attack have concluded that Khalid Masood acted entirely alone for reasons that may never be known…”

    Police morons. It is quite simple to understand why they do this. What one must do it only to follow the “word” of Mohammed (founder of Islam) to understand them all and all implications and then just follow it through. Denying it always will land up in the corner from which there is no other exit but total submission. Deal with that!

  11. Stan Lee says

    Mar 25, 2017 at 9:33 pm

    Nothing to do with reality, but rather how “political correctness”, eliminates any other possibilities apart from P.C. Muslims being “hooked” on the passages of the quran after indoctrination from childhood to each individual’s virtual duty to believe the evil directives at teen age and beyond, which they had been hearing and familiar with since the most formative years.

    But, there also is another element at work in Britons, who have been conditioned by “political correctness” and affected to such a degree that police commanders and on down the line of the ranks have equally been conditioned to manage their thoughts in lieu of what they are required to believe in order to make a sham show of it.

    Does it result in a stand-off of ideas, scruples? It must, because here is reported the ass’t Metropolitan Police Commissioner sticking to his P.C. guns with doubts of the motivations of Masood, and more doubts that such an attack will probably not be repeated. He stresses the need for absolute clarity of the reason Masood did such “unspeakable acts.”

    The acts were no more unspeakable than acts by Muslims throughout Britain, all of the EU, the mid-east, Africa, south Asia, No. America. But, who am I to argue with the Senior National Coordinator in UK for Counter-Terrorism? Who is any Briton to argue the point? Obviously, Neil Basu has it all thought out.
    Finally, he states that “We must all accept the possibility that we will never understand why he did it.”

    How about not trying to rationalize hate-indoctrinated people who are slaves to their Quran?
    I can see where Basu is a meticulous investigator because the killer’s motives may be more important than the lives he took. Regardless of what those motives were, Masood was part of a very familiar practice in this world and there ought to be a priority of stopping it, instead of sleuthing for the exact reasons. Innocent people end up dead regardless of the methods Muslims use to kill.

    Of course, in order to stop it, the matter cannot be shrugged away as if there can be no end to it. I think it will require very firm policing, the velvet gloves must be retired and appeasement is too easily detected and expected by Muslims of non-Muslims. Islam respects power, the gentle approach is a loser.

    “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this. That understanding may have died with him.”…

    The British police are dunderheads. They are told what to and what not to say. Aside from directing traffic they must come to no conclusions. They are paid by their bosses NOT to come to obvious conclusions. For example, the American Friends Field Service has nothing to do with Quakers. The Anerican Humanist Association has nothing to do with American Atheists. Israel has nothing to do with Jewish Tradition, and Methodist Projects like building hospitals and churches in South America has nothing to do with Methodism. So with thinking like this a motive will never be found. Muslim terrorism will have nothing to do with Islam. (Most likely it is part of the Zionist takeover plot).

The fact Is there was no armed police at the entrance gate and only by chance the Defence Ministers guard happened to be passing by this madman could have gained access to the floor of the House
      There have been breaches of security before with people throwing white powder and horse manure right inside the chamber
      For a country with a long held interventionist foreign policy they have been very lucky that only about three people have been killed there but the poor innocent general public and visitors to UK have to play the lottery of death due to the weak response of the government to the evil advance of Islam In our society

          The police in London are not “routinely” armed but carry a truncheon and a taizer to administer a non fatal electric shock to people showing extreme violence such as a knife attack.Armed police can be called out to a scene with the obvious delay
          My understanding is that the policeman killed in this attack didn’t even have a taizer never mind a gun.
          You will see fully armed police at certain buildings such as railway stations and airports to “make the public feel safer” but when you are dealing with a “nutcase religion” and politicians who incorrectly say Islam is a religion of peace allowing Islamic immigration in hundreds of thousands and failing to stop illegal immigration which by the governments estimation is around 1 million but could be several times that number in the UK then it is a losing battle.

    Jihad is an OBLIGATION INCUMBENT UPON EVERY SINGLE MUSLIMS ON THE PLANET.

      The British police know exactly what is happening but the police obey the government. Sharia May and the Conservative government want to be sooooo pc they are allowing Sharia courts, Sharia laws and Sharia ideology to take over the country. Anyone against the takeover is deemed ‘racist’ e.g. Tommy Robinson and Liberty and anyone else who speaks against the infiltration. Corbyn and his left-wing pals are no opposition whatsoever: they love the Islamists. The main power-base for the Conservative government is in the wealthy south-east – Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Essex where there are few muslims. The muslims tend to congregate in Birmingham and the north – the economically poorer areas such as Wigan and Rochdale.

      • Anne Smith says

        Mar 26, 2017 at 6:45 am

        Quite right Spike. The Labour party under Corbyn has become very anti semitic and is now dominated by Muslims, who have used the Labour party to infiltrate politics at all levels.

        The Labour party welcomed them, not because of religious belief but because it gave them block Muslim voting which they love and which gets them into power. (viz. Sadiq Khan, the Muslim Mayor of London)

        Eventually the Muslims will ditch the Labour party and rule witht heir own parties, but just for now they both need each other.

    This fine lad killed infidels so he could go to heaven. Paradise, where he can have sex with anything with a hole. The one that did the mass murder in Florida, was gay, probably caught by his father, so he murdered gays, so he could go to heaven, and be gay, maybe even with muhammad himself ?
    These are the kinds of reasons these fools do murder . So they can go to heaven. As soon as they do enough bad things here on earth, they fear for their souls, and kill infidels to fix things with mohammad.
    Do the police really need to know exactly which”sin” he was fixing ?

      Frederick-I don’t know which FL mass murderer you are referring to.

      IF it was the one who did the Orlando gay nightclub murders ( and whose wife was recently recaptured) HE WAS NOT GAY. That was put out to divert attention form the fact that he was a Muslim.

      The Feds and Orlando (or perhaps the County police-not sure) admitted that. Searching his computer, cell phone, etc- no evidence that he was gay; no gay porn; no gay anything.

      The one who shot up the Ft Lauderdale airport also was not gay. Insane, perhaps, but not gay

    It is obvious that most of our ‘leaders’ in Academia Politics Media and Clergy have a very small IQ, therefore I have simplified what Islam & Muslims are with the following that even a person with two brain cells of logic would fully comprehend~

    The best way to explain Islam and Muslims is to use the analogy of a SPEAR

    Jihad comes in two forms, War Jihad & Stealth Jihad

    WAR Jihad is conducted by groups such as ISIS, Boko Haram, al Shaba, Hamas and 10,000 such other terrorist groups around the world that are represented by the deadly TIP of the spear of Islam

    STEALTH Jihad is conducted by what the brain dead among our leaders in Politics, Media, Academia & Clergy call Moderate Muslims (who are forever silent about what the WAR Jihadis are committing in their name).

    These so called Moderate Muslims are the very ones who support the War Jihadis with Finance, weapons, intelligence, shelter,propaganda and lawyers when necessary that are represented by the SHAFT of the spear of Islam

    The tip of the spear are the War Jihadis. The shaft are the Stealth Jihadis.

    Separately they are of no threat to anything

    Together they are a deadly instrument of war

    Ladies and gentlemen we can describe and reduce the of whole of Islam, all of their scriptures and all of their purpose in life to the most perfect and inordinately simple likeness of a lethal SPEAR.

    All other explanations are redundant

    There is a distinct possibility that the British Police are so stupid, limited, politically blinded and irresponsible or willfully blind that they will never understand why this Westminster Jihad attacker Basu copied absolutely slavishly the current mode-du-jour of urban attack.
    It’s almost as if the British Police were in the pay of the Saudi-Arabia-based masters of Wahabiism, and ISIS.

    In furtherance of his own career Basu is enforcing political correctness and making sure that no one gets the idea that its o.k. to tell the truth about Islam and the jihad that’s raging around us. Theodore Dalrymple explains the point of political correctness perfectly:

    “Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

  35. Sam says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 6:52 am

    “I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate”

    Correct: One small addition would be “and speak highly of evil”

    We are living in times when people think and act as if they are drugged by their master Islam to protect it at all costs.

    Although I understand the multicultural (sick) mindset, I am still puzzled the length these liberals can go to whitewash Islam.

    • Jeanette says

      Mar 26, 2017 at 10:15 am

      Amazingly, their families and friends never seem to be killed or hurt in these attacks.

      Or are these liberals even more monstrous than we thought? Do they not even care if their own families and friends are maimed or killed by Muslims?

  37. TheDane says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 7:43 am

    The global stupidity soars to never seen heights these years… The reason was – as usual – islam. Not much to speculate about there, and they should stop running the story and mentioning the murderer’s name. One day there will probably be so many attacks that they run out of time to solve and mention them all.

  38. Singh the Sikh says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 7:48 am

    You will never understand because you simply don’t want to. It’s a deadly case of willful denial stemming from political correctness, which plays beautifully into the Islamists’ hands. So you are just their sucker. A police comm suckered by Islamists who can no longer do his job because he so dumb. Attacks by Muslim suicide bombers killed 52 Londoners in 2005. By now you should have figured out what was going on. If you are still clueless, you are not fit to hold your job. Do the honorable thing and resign, or fall on your sword like the Japanese, because you are an abject failure. Your are in a position of responsibility and your ignorance is costing lives. You are living off the taxpayers but not providing them protection. By feigning ignorance you are providing Muslim terrorists protection and enabling them to murder. As I said before they have made a sucker out of you. You and the whole British government establishment have failed your citizens. They will continue to die becaus you have built a protective wall for the Islamists with your lies and denials. Your citizens will pay the price for your ignorance. You are feigning ignorance simply to avoid making the hard decisions and doing what needs to be done. It’s your cowardice we are witnessing this week. It’s your cowardly attitude that is endangering the people. Just stop making excuses and resign.

        Yes Singh the Sikh and gravenimage, without support from higher-ups, these officers

  39. Singh the Sikh says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 8:14 am

    Immidiately after the Westminster attack there were police operations in Birmingham. You should know why Basu since you are part of force. If you don’t understand the attacker’s motive, then you must be really puzzled about the Birmingham operation and why it took place straight after the muslim’s killing spree. This is how farcical the situation has been with the police for some time now. One of your comrades was killed in cold blood. As a leader we expect better from you Basu. Well, you are in a leadership position. That doesn’t mean you are a leader.

  40. John A. Marre says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 8:17 am

    Let me make it easier for you to understand. This person converted to Islam. As a new convert, he was full of religious fervor and wanted to practice his new religion to the fullest. That’s easy. In the Koran it says to kill Christians and Jews. He obeyed.

  41. politicalqrm says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 8:20 am

    The cause is ISLAM… that’s it, pure and simple. It’s purpose is to take over the world.

    There are no moderate muslims. The jihadi are the army, and the civilians work from the inside of a country to change the laws, the customs and education. So far throughout the world, they’re succeeding.

    • traci94 says

      Mar 26, 2017 at 9:04 am

      This is so true. I’ve come to believe that there really aren’t any moderate Muslims. How can one be moderate when the core text of your faith are just plain evil; there’s no way around the fact that the core text preach hatred and violence. I think a moderate, “peaceful” Muslim is a backslidden one.

  42. dragazao says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 8:29 am

    After the “nothing to do with islam”, now police doesn’t find the motive. Its confirmed: it was an islamist attack.

  43. Robert John Bennett says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 8:39 am

    Yes, Jihad Watch is right. This is EXACTLY what the Brits will say, once they’ve become dhimmis, living under Sharia:

    “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why they conquered and subjugated us.”

    And will my own country, the United States, be spared such a fate? Dear God, I hope so, because it certainly looks as if Britain and the rest of Europe are – in the words of Islam expert and Princeton professor emeritus Bernard Lewis – “already gone.”

    • ECAW says

      Mar 26, 2017 at 8:44 am

      Not already gone, but it doesn’t look good and the young adult generation look too feeble and brainwashed to put up much of a struggle.

    • Jeanette says

      Mar 26, 2017 at 10:09 am

      It’s doubtful that 320 million Americans will be able to hold out for very long against 6.7 Billion people, after the Muslims have forced the rest of the world under the heel of Islam.

  44. traci94 says

    Mar 26, 2017 at 9:00 am

    I am just incredulous; this is NOT that hard to figure out folks! It really is just not that complicated. People like him and Theresa May need to be fired. She said that this is a “perversion of a GREAT faith.” All it takes, Theresa, is doing a bit of homework. And, why won’t someone PLEASE ask her and all the other politicians WHY this religion is always “hijacked and perverted”? WHY is it always so misunderstood? My faith is not that complicated, and if it were, I think I would have to consider kicking it to the curb.

    • Jeanette says

      Mar 26, 2017 at 10:06 am

      Bingo!

      I sometimes say that if I belonged to a church that one Sunday announced that there was a while new mission for the church – to kill everyone else – I couldn’t get out the door fast enough.

      Of course, any decent person would do that. So what does that make Muslims?

      I fear that Theresa, et al, don’t need any information; they know exactly what they are doing. All destruction is planned and approved by the globalist elites.

    When a muslim mayor gets elected in London, it is absolutely true the mayor and his staff will never know why this muslim was such a bad driver…..and then became enraged at the people who jumped in front of his car….after he heard whispers of hate speech from the internet.

    I agree with Nigel GFF I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Truth is the new hate speech… facts about Islam will be protected at all costs, islamic law of slander which forbids information and facts found in sharia law has taken over along with massive migration a command from the Quran to migrate to spread Islam, and jihad to enforce it. The first mind to conquer was Theresa May, has been”cowed” to bring silencing.

    “That understanding may have died with him”

    And it seems that the reasoning faculties of senior UK police officers have also..died….

    It’s a good job that this Police commissioner isn’t a Homicide detective.
    Being able to join the dots is a necessary requirement for such a profession.

    To imagine there is no clear link between the behavior of the attacker and the teachings of his violent creed is a bit like a detective who,on observing a corpse with an axe lodged in its skull,is simply unable to accept the fact that this is clearly and obviously a case of murder.

    “Let’s see… dead body…axe in the skull:Ok I have it,it was either a tragic accident or self-inflicted.It couldn’t possibly be a murder.We can rule that out.Case closed.”

    Western civilization is dying not that the rest of the world is doing any better, but the stupidity that is in the minds of western liberal-socialist is outstanding, I mean the part of the mind that reason, the process of thinking is gone they are confused beyond repair there is no coming back for them, is like the inmates are running the asylum, the West is like a big fish out of the water gasping for air and the liberal crowd think the solution is to keep the fish out of the water denying that the fish need to go back to the water.

    And when the UK figures out they are in trouble it will be too late. I hope we will not come to their aide. We’ve more than done our fair share of saving Europe’s bacon with our blood and treasure.

    The Islamists want a war with the Infidel. They must have a war to install a global caliphate. They also want a war because it is the only way they believe they can get to paradise – being killed while killing for their god. However, they know the governments of the western world won’t declare war on them so they are setting up the citizens to make war with them. Right now, they are just picking us off by one little terrorist act after another. Soon, they will have to get bolder, by committing greater acts: suicide bombing public markets, school buses, day cares, public transportation etc. They know eventually, the people will rise up and do what the governments won’t do or admit. What will be interesting though is where will the police and military stand – with the people or the government. Civil war is brewing in our countries as I speak. And it is coming soon. This is what the Islamists want. So, as i said earlier, the Islamists are not trying to piss off the governments, but the people.

    • Joseph Campbell says

      Mar 28, 2017 at 12:19 am

      Jandre Kroeze, many of us have read the Quarn and understand the sick ideology it teaches. This terrorist was following its dictates. According to its doctrines, it is the Islamist moderates that are the apostates. The so called radicals are following its teachings to the letter. The governments of the west will discover this very soon. But it will be too late. When the citizens rise up, the governments and politicians better hide or get out of the way. I think the citizens have had just about enough of the appeasing politicians by now. Soon, its going to get real nasty.

  63. The RationalVoice says

    Mar 28, 2017 at 8:41 am

    Of course we all understand why this person did what he did unless you don’t want to understand because that truth is unpalatable and the mainstream media and the government are afraid what they would have to do with 3 to 4 million of their citizens, all susceptible to ‘radicalisation’ or being ‘good ‘Muslims as taught In the actual word of God in the Qur’an and other Muslim texts.(which for no intelligent reason they subscribe to)
    This guy was a ‘troubled’ soul much given to violence; a ticking time bomb of which there are many in the Islamic community throughout Europe
    We can only do a damage limitation exercise now which should start with no further immigration into Europe of Islamists, deportation of those without British or European citizenship who preach hatred or advocate violence. The governments of Europe apart from Hungary haven’t got the guts to do it so we all have to play the lottery of death to give some fool his ridiculous wish to end the only life he will ever have while taking the lives of innocent people in the street
