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

UK: Muslim carrying knives in central London close to parliament arrested by terror police

Apr 27, 2017 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

The Guardian does not see fit to provide any identifying information about this knife carrier, other than that he is male and was apparently planning an act of terrorism. They were probably hoping that he would turn out to be a “right-wing extremist,” but such people are much more active in Leftist fantasies than in reality. The suspect’s appearance (thanks to Guido Fawkes) makes it clear that he is an Islamic jihadist. The British authorities’ and the Guardian’s unwillingness to tell us anything about him is of a piece with their overall determination to keep people ignorant and complacent regarding the jihad threat.

“Terror police arrest man in Westminster ‘carrying knives,'” by Vikram Dodd and Rowena Mason, Guardian, April 27, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

Armed police have arrested a man believed to have been carrying knives in Whitehall, central London, close to parliament.

Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command was leading the investigation into the man and why he was allegedly in possession of knives.

Police said in a statement giving the first official details: “A man has been arrested in Whitehall this afternoon, at approximately 14.22, following a stop and search as part of an ongoing operation.

“The man was arrested in Parliament Street, junction with Parliament Square, by armed officers from the Met’s specialist firearms command.

“The man, aged in his late 20s, was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism. Knives have been recovered from him.

“He is being detained under the Terrorism Act and is in custody in a south London police station.

“Detectives from the counter-terrorism command are continuing their investigation, and as a result of this arrest there is no immediate known threat.”

Officers and police tape blocked off the area. A scenes of crime officer in a blue suit could be seen taking pictures of what appeared to be a knife on the ground of the traffic island in the middle of the road.

It was believed no one had been injured and the man had been taken into custody….

    Quote: “Detectives from the counter-terrorism command are continuing their investigation…”

    Yes, do that. And continue to learn about the JIHAD DOCTRINE, TAQIYYA DOCTRINE, KAFIR DOCTRINE and SUPREMACIST DOCTRINE of Islam and maybe it will become possible to DEPROGRAM the terrorists right out of Islam.

      No, no “deprogramming” is possible. Stop with the “pie-in-the-sky” fantasy of yours. Just give us one example of a successful deprogrammed muslum. Love to hear about it. If there was even just one, it would still be one down and one billion, five hundred million to go, and there are about a million of them born every week…

        I second that. Get them out of the West, confine them in some area all together, and let the killing begin.

        When the smoke clears, we’ll see how many are still standing.

    Armed police ? In little britain? How strange! I thought police in britain needn’t any weapons . . well … because they were so civilized. Or was that just a ploy to fool oneself. . . the worst type of foolery.

    Did Ussama say in the nineties that he would not let the west have enough sleep. I laughed at him at the time. But I did not think of western stupidity, the useful idiots and denial. Plus cowardice.

      Plus globalist elites who WANT people killed to meet the UN Agenda 2030 depopulation goal.

      Theresa Sharia May ….?

    Maybe he just wanted to carve up a roast beef. I hear the Brit’s like their roast beef.

    Or he wanted to kill a Kafir?

    It’s getting where you can’t trust your friendly neighborhood Jihadist with bamboo chop sticks

    SARCASM

    Not too smart this “soldier of Allah” He looked the part down to the beard, rucksack and five knives and known by the anti-terror police.
    He was not British born but given a British passport .Why I do not know but it should be removed from him and he should be deported after he has served a long sentence. He was actually smiling when he was arrested and kept looking at the camera. I would have thought he was disappointed not to get a free ticket to paradise!! or maybe he wanted his 15 minutes of fame. Why did he have five knives you can’t use them all or perhaps he had four accomplices. The cops should look into that?

      A long sentence would cost the British taxpayer a fortune.

      Get the Muslims out of the West, confine them in a Muslim-only area, and let them kill each other off.

      Don’t do anything to stop it, as they obviously APPROVE of killing as entertainment.

      Let’s just keep them from entertaining themselves in the West.

    As to his not being identified as “Moslem”, this is evidently policy in the British news-media. The excruciating attempts to avoid the obvious are symptomatic of the politically-correct anti-islamophobia mission of the Left, who currently dominate the media. Ridiculous. It will end badly.

    A few weeks ago I lost my copy of “Jack the Ripper: The New Evidence” by Dr I Wright. I ordered a new copy to replace it. On reading the new edition I noticed a new sentence had been added. “The motives for the infamous murders are still unknown.”

    He’s been named as Mohammed Khalid Omar Ali.
    Definitely Amish, then.

    I think you will find that most European news media will not report the race or religious leanings of criminals if they are a member of the untouchables. Thats how we always know exactly what the motivation, and religion of the perp is
