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

Westminster jihad murderer Khalid Masood, in last message, declared he was waging jihad

Apr 28, 2017 6:12 pm By Robert Spencer

How inconvenient for the mainstream narrative. Deputy assistant Metropolitan police commissioner Neil Basu said in March: “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this. That understanding may have died with him.” Anything to avoid noting an Islamic motivation.

“Last message left by Westminster attacker Khalid Masood uncovered by security agencies,” by Kim Sengupta, Independent, April 27, 2017:

The last message left by the killer Khalid Masood on the WhatsApp messaging service, revealing his motivation for the lethal attack in Westminster, has been uncovered by the security agencies, The Independent has learnt.

In the message, sent just minutes before he began the rampage in which five people died and 50 were injured, the 52-year-old Muslim convert had declared that he was waging jihad in revenge against Western military action in Muslim countries in the Middle East.

The person who received the message has been extensively questioned, but freed after the police and MI5 concluded that he was not part of a plot and had no prior knowledge of what was unfolding on 22 March.

Eleven others detained following the attack were freed and have been cleared from inquiries….

There was initial thought among investigators that Masood may have been in contact with someone involved in a plotting his attack.

There have been repeated recent atrocities – two in France and two in Germany just in the past year – in which terrorists were found to have been guided through messaging service by Isis “handlers” just before they struck.

Isis had claimed “credit” for the Westminster attack, but no evidence has emerged to back this up.

Masood, who was born in Kent, had come to the notice of the security service for being on the fringes of Islamist extremism in the past, but he was not seen as a threat….

    He has demon-eyes. Like many of these moslems do. They prove on a daily basis that they cannot live in a civilized society, so I sure wish the West would stop importing them! Rather: start exporting them, e.g. to Saudi and Qatar.

      Why is the family of this MURDERER still allowed to live in Britain on tax payer’s money?

    Britain.in the recent past. IE when Obama was president. Through their banks were laundering terrorists and Iranian dirty money.

    A few years ago the NYS A G was charging one of the British banks with this
    Obama caved in to pressure from the British. Besides
    His dept of (in)justice didn’t get involved.

    UK’s elites are woefully UNREAD and UNSTUDIED in Islam, and yet, PREPOSTEROUSLY and FRAUDULENTLY, they present themselves as EXPERTS on Islam and explain to us that JIHADISM is not NORMATIVE ISLAM… even though jihadism is clearly the main message of the Koran, hadiths and Sira… Islam’s primary source texts. If you haven’t bothered to KNOW THE ENEMY and read the primary texts, how would you know Islam? You wouldn’t. The UK elites don’t.

    -” Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up CONDUCTING JIHAD, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your ORIGINAL RELIGION.” – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455

    Conducting jihad is the ‘original religion’ of Mohammed. Mohammed is the authority on Islam.

    -“Narrated Mujashi: My brother and I came to the Prophet and I requested him to take the pledge of allegiance from us for migration. He said, “Migration has passed away with its people.” I asked, “For what will you take the PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE from us then?” He (Mohammed) said, “I will take (the pledge) for Islam and JIHAD.” – Bukhari 4,52,208

    In the above quote, Mohammed says that allegiance to Islam includes a commitment to the political action of jihad.

    Westminster jihad-terrorist Khalid Masood was clearly aware of such jihad statements in the hadiths.

    UK elites are CULPABLY NEGLIGENT in failing to learn and MASTER the JIHAD DOCTRINE.

      Anne Marie Waters has interesting insight from her time as a member of the Labour Party, she recalls providing information to highlight the inherent violence of political islam. She says she at first thought they were ignorant of the threat posed, but in fact, they just didn’t care. I think this may be the true state of our political elites, looking the other way and forcing us to believe black is white, and this is a ‘religion’ of peace/pieces.

      We have no proof that these authorities are unread. Even if they are, they have no excuse, since it is their duty to know about what affects the citizens whom they are supposed to serve.

      I think they know what they are doing, anyway. Even if they don’t read, someone they know has mentioned enough to them that they cannot be reasonably thought to be unaware.

      So this is intentional destruction of their own country and its people.

      What would induce them to do that? Power and/or money.

      Who would induce them to do that? The U.N.

    Surely it would be easy to prove that all this killing and rape has nothing to do with real Islam.

    We need only to look at history and see how the Prophet and his followers behaved in the 7th century, during the real Islam of peace as they preached the message of Islam, converting Egypt, north Africa, and the middle-east from Christianity and Buddhism to the religion of peace.

    That was the real Islam, not all this murder/rape/robbery/slavery that the current twisters of the religion like ISIS/BOKO/QAEDA have perverted the books to support their criminal activities.

    The people who oppose Islamophobia should study the historians’ writings to clearly establish that the real Islam as executed by the direct disciples of the Prophet was a true religion of peace, before ISIS hijacked it.

    They may well prove that it was hijacked, but hijacked way back in the 7th century, leading to the most anxiety the world has ever known; and continuing even to this day.

      Hijacked by unknown entities from Mohammed, the murderer, rapist, slave owner, pedophile, thief …not much of a hijack!

    Oh dear! now we know the motive and it sounds suspiciously like Islamic Terrorism. The elites will be more concerned about the cat out of the bag than the danger of more “British born” Jihadist in the streets.

    So now his message of jihad has been uncovered. Where is this story being told? Any headlines?

    Sherlock Holmes would definitely have called it “ISLAMIC TERRORISM!” The MET still needs a lot of help!

      Neil Basu already admitted that Khalid Masood, aka Adrian Elms was planning jihad. It was actually a few days after the incident.

    How many more times do we have to hear “but he was not seen as a threat….”

    The MET is wet of that you can bet.

    • SK says

      Good thing that the Met already admitted that this fellow was a jihadist.

    If Mo were to come back from the dead and work a miracle proving that Masoud was a jihadi, people would still not believe it. That Islam is not responsible for terrorism is a dogma, impregnable against observation.
