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

UK imam accused of recruiting jihadis to fight for the Islamic State

Jun 28, 2017 7:51 pm By Robert Spencer

An imam? A man who has devoted his life to understanding Islam properly and communicating it effectively is involved in jihad activity? Why, how can this be? How did he miss all the peace in the Qur’an that learned imams such as Pope Francis and H. R. McMaster and John Kerry tell us all about?

“Terror suspect arrested in Birmingham and facing extradition to Spain is imam father-of-eight who preached to Bataclan bomber before Paris attacks,” by Alexander Robertson, Mailonline, June 28, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A British-based imam accused of recruiting Jihadists to fight for ISIS should be extradited to Spain to face terror charges, a court has heard.

Tarik Chadlioui, 43, allegedly tried to recruit and radicalise fighters for ISIS as part of a terror cell from his home in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham.

The Moroccan-born cleric has been living in Britain with his wife and eight children since 2015, after moving to the UK from Belgium.

He is accused of posting video propaganda in support of Islamic State on his Youtube channel and other social media.

The 43-year-old, also known as Tarik Ibn Ali, is understood to have preached hate-filled sermons at a Paris mosque attended by Bataclan bomber Omar Mostefai.

Mostefai was one of three ISIS gunmen who entered a theatre during a co-ordinated terror attack on Paris in 2015 which killed 130 people.

The Muslim hate preacher was arrested by a counter terror unit in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham this morning as part of an international raid spanning three countries

Chadlioui appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court this afternoon after he was arrested in an early morning raid in the West Midlands City.

Spanish authorities say Chadlioui is an imam subscribing to Salafism, an ultra-conservative form of Islam.

The father-of-eight is said to have been wanted by several countries and is believed to be the ‘spiritual leader’ of a ISIS-supporting group in Spain.

Dressed in a traditional Arab robe and speaking through an Arabic interpreter, Chadlioui appeared fed up and tired and only spoke to confirm his name and address.

Benjamin Joyes, representing the Spanish authorities, said: ‘We are opposing bail in the most strenuous of terms.

‘This is an arrest warrant for Spain described as being a member of a terrorist organisation.

‘In short these offences relate to what in this country fall under dissemination of terror material and encourage others to commit terror.

‘It is alleged that the requested person with several others as a member of an organisation gave support to the terrorist organisation Islamic State by means of propaganda and incitement of new members to join the organisation.

‘He produced audio visual material for the recruitment of jihadis on his YouTube channel for indoctrination and posted symbols and banners for Islamic State on social media.

Mr Benjamin added: ‘The requested person stated that he is a frequent traveller and goes to Belgium regularly.’

According to Dutch media, Chadlioui visited several mosques in Antwerp, Belgium earlier this month before returning to the UK….

      Don’t worry the Left/liberal Loons will assure everyone he is not follower of Islam !

      That the Imam who knows Koran better than the Left/liberal Loons has misunderstood Islam !

      on and on it goes !

        Yes, liberal twits and Muslims practicing Taqiyya will say that he in misunderstanding Islam. Say to these twits and liars – “read Koran 8:12, Koran 9:5, and Koran 9:29,” in which Mo tells has followers to convert, make submit, or make war against the infidels!

    The leaders of the west are blind and brain dead. Nothing can open their eyes when they set out to do evil for the elite globalists behind all these.

      It has been pointed out that all the western leaders’re childless, so that the future is of no real concern to them. Dhimmitude. (?) is acceptable to them!

    The counter terror unit that arrested this UK imam suffer from extreme Islamophobia. Evidently they have not been briefed by well informed Islamic scholars.

    No sane loyal Subject to the Crown would begin to consider bond for a terrorist of any stripe who is a threat to all the People of England. I do hope Ms May in her waning days in office wool start getting it, and the Hamas terrorist Loving Galloway will get the clue and I’d be remiss not to mention JCorbyne who brings actual terrorists to th Hous of Commons-SHAMES. It’s amazing the Sergeant at Arms didn’t escort you and terrorist guest out of the HOC at gun point. Don’t expect British Civility to have unlimited patience as fellow Countrymen are butchered. They won’t much for it. Ms May ( not a PM of the People for sure) won’t be in office this time next year attacking the victim with Islamaphobia when Muslims un impeded call for the death of Christians and Jews but want to be protected from the boogeyman who hasn’t murdered anyone but they can’t at least in words excommunicate and declare this not to be Islam They remain silent since they know the teachings of the Quran and Hadith, what they hear in the Madraas or Mosque. The story is the same what they hear in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, or any other Islamic country. It’s time for Brit Politicians to grow some gonads and confront Reps from different Islamic organizations fellow members and not hide behind The old PC. It costing lives

    Where is journalist curiosity?

    Imam after Imam licked to terrorism and MSM don’t even bother to the mosques and ask them why IMAM!

    What would the MSM say if that person was a Bishop

      An interesting point that you are bringing up. In the early 1970s the FBI didn’t quite know what to make of the JDL Jewish Defense League and Rabbi Meir Kahane. It’s safe to say that although the JDL was the first Jewish Organization to publicly demonstrate on behalf of the Refusniks and Soviet Jewry, mainstream Jewish Organizatins UJA, Conference of American Jewish Presidents etc encouraged law enforcement to investigate the JDL. The crux of this story is the FBI plant Agents into synagogues and without warrant gained Schul membersip lists as well as JDL Membership lists. The Jewish community wrongly was only to eager to help. Is at wrong since the JDL supported a strong Democratic USA. What bothered them was treatment of Jews in other Countries Israel’s, situation and the protection of Jews from ANTISEMITIC Rightwing Organizations. So the Feds never had a problem then to enter a House of Worship to Spy. Who knows what other denominations had their Church violated. But when it came to unknown street organizer with a meteriiric rise to the Presidency everything changed. Mosques became out of bounds to spy on eve though less 1 all terrorist activity over the past several years has been based on Islam.

    It is wrong to go on details; details of terror attack, details of Imam, and so on….what is better? to go on principle….It is Quran and Quran related literature, like Hadit, It is mosque and mosque based Imam….attack the base, destroy the enemy of civilization, by creating and following proper politics.

    If politics and politicians not meant to protect ‘Citizen’ then it is not politics but simply a power game, that intend to trap their own citizen

    “…and encourage others to commit terror” is the offence for which extradition is sought.

    Hear Ragab Hilal Hamida MP in the Egyptian Parliament:

    “The Koran directly commands us to commit terrorism….”.

    Can lawyers begin to connect the dots?

    • Bob says

      Jun 29, 2017 at 5:25 am

      No, the slimy-handed lawyers make too much money defending the terrorists – tax-payers’ money!
