As the UK reels from the Manchester jihad massacre, other Muslims are plotting even more jihad carnage.
“Zahid Hussain guilty of fairy lights bomb plot,” BBC, May 25, 2017:
A man who planned to target a railway line with a homemade bomb of fairy lights and a pressure cooker has been found guilty of preparing for an act of terrorism.
Zahid Hussain, 29, filled the appliance with shrapnel and made “improvised igniters” from the festive decorations.
CCTV shown to the jury in Birmingham showed him climbing down a storm drain yards from the West Coast Mainline.
He became radicalised reading books and websites in his bedroom.
In the days running up to his arrest Hussain had made repeated visits to a section of the main high speed train line that links London to Birmingham, which the prosecution said was to research a possible attack.
The defendant had tried to build “a number of explosive devices”, including a pressure-cooker bomb and fairy-light igniters.
He also attempted to create a remote-control “initiator” for a device by modifying a wireless doorbell, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
The court was told a mistake in the building of the IED meant it would not have exploded, but that his intention had been to cause “devastation”.
He was arrested on 9 August 2015 after reports of a man carrying a hammer and behaving suspiciously near his home in Alum Rock, Birmingham.
After being taken to a police station, officers found handwritten recipes for explosives, a modified fairy light and a hand-drawn map showing a drainage chamber.
At his home, they found an “improvised laboratory” and four allegedly viable igniters fashioned from Christmas lights.
They also discovered books that contained instructions on sabotage and guerrilla warfare tactics. A page on how to derail a train had been marked.
His computer showed he had an interest in so-called Islamic State and events in Syria.
“In his own words he had become ‘bedroom radicalised’ – turned into a radical by material he had accessed in his own bedroom,” prosecution QC Annabel Darlow told the court.
Police said Hussain, who was estranged from his wife and two children, had been acting strangely and suspiciously in the months leading up to his arrest.
“He became withdrawn and isolated from his family and spent hours both day and night on his computer, where he bought most of the items he used to construct the devices,” the force said in a statement.
Chief Superintendent Matt Ward, head of counter terrorism for the West Midlands, said: “Forensic examination of the pressure cooker found it contained mixed urea, diesel fuel, nails, drill bits, nuts, bolts and steel sockets.
“There was no evidence of any intended target or specific attack. But by its very nature, this could have been an extremely dangerous device.”
Hussain, of Alum Rock, Birmingham, is already detained at a secure mental health unit….

I think it’s time to go creating an absolom type island. All the Muslims of the West should go to that island, in the rest of the West, Islam should be prohibited. That island should be permanently guarded and not allowed to have weapons, there they could do their Sharia affairs, their stoning, beheadings, pederasts, polygamy, jihad … and pray all day. We would provide halal food … but they should Leave the West.
Monty says
The Dhimmiwits will not acknowledge the truth. This is NOT radical Islam. It’s just old fashioned vanilla flavoured and all the more dangerous for that. No Muslim should be permitted to reside in a non-Muslim country. End of story. The reverse is happening. Ordinary people are being displaced by Muslims. The west is committing cultural suicide, a death by a thousand self inflicted cuts.

Just send them back to Dar-al-Islam.

Mental health unit … he should have been in jail.

The United Kingdom and other Western nations need to bring back the death penalty for crimes of terrorism, including for people who aid and abet such crimes.

“He became radicalised reading books and websites in his bedroom.”
I don’t accept that. Anyone who expects me to accept that sentence as written is a complete moron. How about this:
“Being a Muslim, he turned into a radical, violent Jihadi as he studied Islam in depth, aided by books on Islam and websites that inspired him to violence.”
That’ll work.
utis says
It works, because it’s true. Bedroom, or mosque, or library computer site, the place doesn’t matter, it’s the subject matter plus your own sick mind that are the causes. What he read fed his twisted mind, and what he read was acceptable Islam.
Bill says
Glad they caught him. Someone, finally was paying attention.
Interesting that he is in a mental heath unit. This is the latest deception of the ruling elite. Islam’s adherents, conspiring, planning or committing criminal acts are not criminals. It is just that their criminal acts are caused by mental illness. Been going on in Germany for a while now. It allows the elite to avoid facing the embarrassing consequences of their own bad decisions and aids in covering up their designs for the breakdown of Western civilization as we know it.
All of this could have been avoided if we had just banned the sale of Christmas lights (which are not Sharia compliant in any case) and, at a minimum, registered the purchase of pressure cookers. This is at least the second pressure cooker bomb device used by Islamic terrorists. When will our legislators enact common sense kitchen appliance controls?
Jayell says
I wonder if he practised on clocks.
abad says
The UK needs to purge Islam from its soil immediately without fail.
Start deporting Muslims back to Syria, their long-awaited paradise.

UK: Muslim plotted jihad massacre at railway with bomb made of Christmas lights and pressure cooker
…………………………
When civilized Westerners hear “Christmas lights” and “pressure cooker”, they think about a nice, warming soup for family and friends during the Christmas season.
When a pious Muslim hears it, he thinks “bomb making material”.
God, I hate Islam.
Mysterex says
I’ll bet the filthy pig took particular delight in using Christmas lights. It would not have been a coincidence.

This is also the beginning of Ramadan, RCH. Jihad Watch is covering this terrible story here:

True, RCH–unwary Infidels have been beaten to death by Muslim mobs if they have wandered by Mosques when prayers are letting out on Fridays.
