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

UK: Muslim plotted to join the Islamic State and murder cop, was regular worshipper at local mosque

Apr 30, 2017 7:27 am By Robert Spencer

“Yesterday it emerged that Mohamed Amoudi was investigated for allegedly attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS, and was held by police in 2015.”

Did British police assume that once having been prevented from joining the Islamic State, Amoudi would give up jihad and not try to wage it in the UK? Apparently Amoudi assumed that if he went to Syria and joined the Islamic State, he would have no trouble getting back into Britain, and he was right: British authorities have allowed numerous trained, battle-hardened jihad terrorists to return to Britain from the Islamic State.

“Amoudi, who described himself as a teacher on an internet profile, was a regular worshipper at a small mosque on Willesden High Road.”

Why didn’t the peaceful, benign teachings that authorities in Britain assume that Amoudi heard at the mosque (authorities in the West assume that every mosque teaches peace and tolerance) dissuade him from pursuing jihad?

“Dramatic moment police burst into the suburban house of teacher, 21, ‘who was plotting to murder a police officer after travelling to Syria to join ISIS,'” by Dave Burke, Rebecca Camber, Emine Sinmaz and Josh White, Daily Mail, April 29, 2017:

Dramatic footage shows armed police outside the north London home of a 21-year-old teacher suspected of planning to murder a police officer.

Yesterday it emerged that Mohamed Amoudi was investigated for allegedly attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS, and was held by police in 2015.

A video clip taken from the street where the house was raided shows officers outside the home, and the woman filming it captured the moment shots were fired.

Amoudi was arrested while trying to flee police while getting off a bus in Willesden Green.

It is thought people arrested at the home included family members. His activity on social media expressing radical religious views had previously been investigated by police.

He was planning to carry out an attack in a crowded tourist area, The Sun reports.

He is one of seven people still being questioned by police, including a suspected knifeman arrested in the heart of Westminster, held after separate operations in London.

The swoops on a 27-year-old man in Whitehall and locations in north London and Kent were executed to contain ‘threats’ and an ‘active’ terror plot, Scotland Yard said.

Born in Yemen, Amoudi studied at Capital City Academy and was an active member of the university’s Islamic society.

Under the name Abu Umar Al-Hadrami, his Twitter feed, which has now been removed, included derogatory references to non-Muslims as ‘kuffar’ (unbelievers).

Two years ago Amoudi was stopped with two teenagers at Istanbul airport after their parents tipped off detectives. But police later released Amoudi – who has been linked to the controversial human rights group Cage – without charge.

Shortly before he travelled to Turkey, Amoudi attended a talk by controversial cleric Haitham al-Haddad, who has been criticised for making homophobic remarks and supporting the death penalty for people who convert away from Islam.

Amoudi was pictured in the front row of the event, organised by the Cage, listening to the cleric as he said: ‘When the leaders of kuffar are happy with your religion, then know that you’ve deviated from the right path.’

Amoudi, who described himself as a teacher on an internet profile, was a regular worshipper at a small mosque on Willesden High Road….

    Memo to the Daily Mail journalists:
    Look at “Reliance of the Traveller”, Manual of Islamic Law (a free download).
    There you will see that Islam itself is anti-homosexual, and prescribes death for leaving Islam.
    A cleric who preaches them is expressing standard Islam.
    There is nothing “controversial” about them: they are Sharia.

    “….was a regular worshipper at the ….mosque”.
    “Worshipper”?
    He was a regular attender at speeches of incitement.

    Many are the videos of imams in mosques commanding their listeners to show hatred for the kuffar, urging them to do jihad, and praising those who “kill and are killed” (Koran 9:111). Yet journalists always use the word “worship” when mosques are mentioned.
    A mosque is NOTHING like a church (Sam Solomon, former professor of Sharia).

      Indeed. Mosques have been military training grounds since the days of Mad Mohammed of Mecca.

      Back in the good old days he would have been hung immeadiatly in the market squre, recently he would have been shot dead at the police raid. What happens to this guy now makes my heart greive for humanity and the future of mankind. (He will be givin a nice cell with tv, internet, a phacility with execise room, therapy, art class, chance to teach other inmates about the true koran etc etc.)
