Crossrail is a railway project; it is Europe’s largest construction project.
An Islamic State fanatic emailed the Prime Minister’s office threatening to “wage jihad” before being given a job guarding the Crossrail project.
Shamim Ahmed also “once threatened to blow up a bookshop for selling the Charlie Hebdo magazine.” But none of this mattered. Public safety was compromised, and a known jihadist was hired. Why? To avoid charges of “Islamophobia”?
Questions will be raised about why Ahmed wasn’t charged earlier after he ‘became increasingly radicalised in his Islamic faith’ as he grew up in east London.
Questions should be raised, and Shamim Ahmed is not the only overt jihadist being enabled by Western authorities. Western borders are porous and jihadists have free reign to maneuver at will. Instead of adopting realistic security measures, Western leaders are telling their people to get used to jihad attacks.
“Isil fanatic emailed the PM’s office threatening to ‘wage jihad’ before getting job on Crossrail”, Telegraph, June 14, 2017:
An Islamic State fanatic emailed the Prime Minister’s office threatening to “wage jihad” before being given a job guarding the Crossrail project, a court heard today.
Shamim Ahmed, 24, who once threatened to blow up a bookshop for selling the Charlie Hebdo magazine, wagged his finger at Judge John Bevan QC and warned him: “Give me 20 years, I will come out the enemy.”
Ahmed had sent death threats to staff at The French Bookshop in South Kensington on January 17, 2015 with the subheading: “Protect your neck while you are still alive.”
The former security guard accused the bookshop of selling the satirical magazine “against Muslims” just days after the massacre and said they would face ‘major retaliation’ if they continued to stock it.
He then made two threatening phone calls to the shop on 22 January, telling the owner: “I’m going to come and stab you, I’m going to come right away and blow up the shop: I’m not afraid of the police, I’m a Muslim.”
It followed the massacre of twelve people during a raid on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris on 7 January, 2015.
Ahmed, who has previously stated that he only recognises Sharia law, admitted two charges of sending malicious communications in November 2015 and was given a 20-week suspended sentence. He was also ordered to perform 300 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £1680 in fines and costs.
But just two months later in January last year, jobless Ahmed was caught on the Syrian border trying to cross into IS-controlled territory. He travelled to Turkey but was returned to the UK after officials detained him at the Syrian border, believing he was trying to cross into the war-torn country.
Ahmed was arrested on January 16 and admitted engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.
At his sentencing hearing on Wednesday he began wagging his finger and mumbling “kuffar'”as he was sentenced before telling a dock officer: “Move the f–k out of my face. I’m going to punch you in the face.”
Ahmed was sent back to the cells after shouting: “Wage jihad wherever we are… Target the civilians, tourist sites, tourist sites, inshallah [God willing].”
Judge John Bevan QC said: “The defendant originally refused to have anything to do with the court process.
“This afternoon I would have hoped he would have been on his best behaviour, he wasn’t, and I have asked for him to be removed and will continue in his absence.”…
Opening the case against terrorist Shamim Ahmed, prosecutor Mark Weekes said: “The case against the defendant is that in early January 2016 he travelled out to Turkey from the UK, and it’s quite plain from the facts his ultimate destination from where he was turned back was Syria, with the intention of fighting for Islamic State.”…..
Oliver says
First. If he was a quote refugee send him back.
Next. Why did Britain take him back
Third
Why not do a Fidel Castro.
The Mariel flotilla. Empty the prisons and anyone else who wants to go to Syria. Somalia. Turkey. Pakistan. Send them
Hopefully they will be killed
And quickly.

Bullet in the back of the neck called for with this nasty piece of Muslim filth. Failing that he should get life imprisonment without parole. But knowing how soft the authorities are in this country now, he will only get a few years. After all, the truly evil Anjam Choudhry only received a 5.5 year sentence and is unlikely to serve all of it. We should have the death penalty for these people.

WHAT IN BLAZES is going on?
Who authorized this loose cannon to protect anything, let alone a railway? Whoever did the background check on this man should be fired so that the public will feel protected.
Crossrail needs to review its BACKGROUND CHECK PROCEDURES to make sure NO TERRORIST is hired … ever again … and that any terrorists working there will be terminated right away before an INSIDE JOB occurs and the public is put at risk.
Crossrail needs a SHAKEUP in the hiring department.
Charli Main says
Hire any Muslim and you are hiring a potential terrorist.
The Islamo-rabies virus is simply dormant in these so called “tolerant, peaceful” Muslims can be activated at anytime and in anyplace.

It’s funny if you don’t think about trains derailing off bridges and such.
Arthur says
I think the judge sent him out of the courtroom because Shamim kept interfering with the judge’s fantasy that Muslim terrorists are just sadly misunderstood well-meaning persons. It will be much easier for the judge to hand over a lenient sentence if the defendant is not interfering by screaming hateful and offensive threats.

“Give me 20 years. I will come out the enemy”.
Looks like you don’t need 20 years, mate. You’ve clearly already come out. Now, what did the UK do with its ‘enemies’ in 1939-46?

Daniel Greenfield wrote about this guy, detailing what he has been up to and posting some of the quotes, such as, he’s not afraid of the police because he’s “muslim” and to the PO when told by that guy that islam is “peaceful”….he said, no, ‘it is a religion of war.’
Interesting article by DG in FrontPage. If that had been the first article I had ever read, I would believe the world had gone mad.
Since it wasn’t the first, I don’t just believe it, I am positive and this guy is proof.

Just a guess here: to keep him and his, like, off welfare?
I mean, like, we welcome them in our nations, they believe what we know they believe, thus, are obligated to practice their faith, and, while doing just that, they have to work somewhere, right?
Thus as long as we welcome them into our nations, it is our lot to give them either jobs or welfare.
Just a guess as to the “why”.
