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

London’s Muslim mayor shared platform with London jihadi’s friend who trained 7/7 jihad bombers

Jun 7, 2017 6:52 pm By Robert Spencer

“A spokesman for Sadiq Khan said: ‘This is an old story.'”

Sure, ok. But if Sadiq Khan had shared a platform in 2003 with, say, Pamela Geller or me, he would still be answering for it, and would never have been elected mayor in the first place. That is quite revealing about the state of modern Britain and the West: foes of jihad terror are more toxic than actual jihad terrorists.

“EXCLUSIVE: London Mayor Sadiq Khan shared a platform with Borough Market attacker’s ‘close friend’ who ‘trained one of the 7/7 bombers,'” by Gareth Davies, Mailonline, June 6, 2017:

Sadiq Khan attended a conference with one of the London Bridge murderers’ close friends who is accused of training one of the 7/7 bombers, MailOnline can reveal.

The London Mayor spoke on the same platform as Sajeel Shahid, a militant who is said to have helped to train the ringleader of the July 7 London bomb attacks.

It emerged today Shahid was gym buddies with killer Khuram Butt, who butchered seven people in the deadly rampage on the capital’s streets on Saturday night.

The pair once ran martial arts classes together at the all-Muslim Ummah Fitness gym in east London.

Mr Khan spoke at a 2003 conference alongside Yasser al-Sirri, who had been sentenced to death in Egypt over a political assassination attempt, while another speaker was Sajeel Abu Ibrahim, better known as Sajeel Shahid.

Shahid called for violence against British troops and ran a training camp in Pakistan where known terrorists learned how to make bombs and fire rocket-propelled grenades.

One of his ‘graduates’ was Mohammed Siddique Khan, who led the gang of four suicide bombers on the deadliest terrorist attack ever committed in Britain, killing 52 people on the London Underground and a bus on July 7, 2005.

At the conference, Mr Khan gave a speech about representing a 9/11 conspirator and criticised two anti-terrorism bills for targeting Muslim groups.

The ‘First Captives Conference’ was set up to support terror suspects in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

It was organised by the Islamic Observation Centre, which was run by al-Sirri.

A spokesman for Sadiq Khan said: ‘This is an old story.

‘At the time of this conference, the Mayor of London was a leading human rights lawyer and chair of Britain’s pre-eminent human rights organisation – he spoke because it was quite literally his job.

‘The Mayor has always condemned the hideous ideology of the extremists – and has suffered death threats and protests from them as a result.

‘Following the horrific attack at London Bridge on Saturday, the Mayor is focused on ensuring our emergency services have the resources they need to keep Londoners safe – and sending a clear message around the world that London will never be cowed by terrorism.’…

    An oldie, but never goodie. Good is unknown to them, while terrorists are on a first name basis.
    The many operatives for the beast…everyone on the outside needs a program to keep up.

    London, Voters are on their way to the voting booth as we speak, Londoners are pissed about what is happening and the more of mr Kann’s little games the general population know about the better.

    Things like not showing skin on bus advertising in it’self should be a flagged and made public, blaming the steady infiltration of Islam

          A small minority of the British may be angry. Myself included. But the vast majority are just shocked after this “tragedy” and hope we can unite through love and understanding. “We must not let the terrorists divide us through hate” (hate, mind you, is suggesting even a casual link between Islam and terrorism). “Once we fall prey to hate, we will encourage more terrorism”.
          At least, this is how it seems to me through various forums where I’m active, news outlets, colleagues etc.
          How grown up, well-educated people can be so utterly daft and naive is beyond me. It’s pissing me off every single day at the moment and I pick a verbal fight whenever I can.
          I need a holiday far away from here:)

        London has been overtaken by Muslims.

    In a Muslim mind the Islamic terrorists are doing allah’s holy work and therefore Muslims never ever condemn any terrorist acts carried out by Muslims – it is all holy work for them! Yeah, some of them do condemn such attacks but that is only a show. Everything goes for spreading Islam. How is the present day terror by Muslims is any different than what Muslims did from seventh century onwards attacking and invading neighboring nations and taking them over, committing rapes, enslaving them and/or converting the local population. Islam was spread by terror of the sword and not by any peaceful means as Muslims always contend!

    So if the Mayor of London appeared with a jihadi – nothing wrong in his mind and perhaps he thinks it was an honor.

    “…the Mayor is focused on ensuring our emergency services have the resources they need to keep Londoners safe – and sending a clear message around the world that London will never be cowed by terrorism… ”

    One could be more at ease if he said, “Shariah courts in London will be disbanded to give women equal rights and Muslim Brotherhood members will not be allowed to hold London administrative office.”

    My guess is he’s praying for the day the “brothers” take over through procreation, immigration, and the ballot box. Meanwhile the impatient are going to wreak havoc on London.

    London’s Muslim mayor shared platform with London jihadi’s friend who trained 7/7 jihad bombers

    “A spokesman for Sadiq Khan said: ‘This is an old story.’”
    …………………………

    It’s an old story that doesn’t get any better with the passage of time.

    Now, of course someone can appear at an event with someone without condoning all of their views–or even knowing about them.

    But the fact is that Khan has a *lot* of disturbing associations.

    More:

    At the conference, Mr Khan gave a speech about representing a 9/11 conspirator and criticised two anti-terrorism bills for targeting Muslim groups.
    …………………………

    In other words, he was doing what he could to enable Jihad. Is there any reason to think that this has changed?

  7. kessler says

    Jun 8, 2017 at 5:03 am

    He may reject acts of terrorism but I doubt he fully rejects sharia law and islam as a superior religion – factors which lead to some muslims acting on teachings of Jihad warfare against the inferior kuffar.
    One thing is for sure – he will NEVER be willing to counter Islamism in any meaningful way. He will peddle the same victimhood strategy as Corbyn while pointing fingers as our foreign policy. He will use the tactic of Islamophobia to deflect attention away from the core problem.
    He will never support “transparent, honest, inspectable programs in mosques and Islamic schools teaching Muslims to reject and abhor the version of Islam taught by the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and other jihad groups” and will never encourage muslims to “teach against the aspects of Sharia that are incompatible with British law and Western understandings of human rights.

    I will not be surprised of a labour win tonight – it’s a disaster for the UK, but the young voters in this country is brainwashed beyond repair.

      Labour won’t win. Take a look at electoralcalculus dot co dot uk. As for Sadiq Khan, if a man walks like a jihadist, talks like one, laughs, cries, eats, spits and s**ts like a jihadist, keeps company with jihadists and quacks like a jihadists, what does that make him in the event of a shooting jihad?

      A legitimate target.

  8. Michael says

    Jun 8, 2017 at 7:03 am

    This puts Sadiq Khan in the frame for encouraging murder, by the fact that he professes Islamic beliefs and shared a platform with terrorirts.

    Obviously Khan is a muslim plant in order to gain power and influence in British politics. In line with the Muslim Brotherhood agenda.

    • Andy says

      Jun 8, 2017 at 7:29 pm

      Khan is working for the fifth column.A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or nation. The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.

  11. Kim Bruce says

    Jun 8, 2017 at 3:10 pm

    Sadiq Khan is nothing more than just another Muslim Brotherhood operative who is on the same mission, a.k.a. Muslim Brotherhood motto, and finally made it to an influential position within British politics.
