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

UK: Muslim gets life in prison (i.e. 16 1/2 years) for plotting jihad massacre at Elton John concert

Jul 3, 2017 2:11 pm By Robert Spencer

He “has been ordered to serve at least 16 1/2 years.”

After that, he will be 35 or 36. What then? Will he emerge from prison disabused of his jihadist proclivities? That’s extremely unlikely. Prisons are hotbeds of jihadist recruitment. He is likely to emerge even more fanatical and murderous than he is now.

“Teen jailed for plotting bomb attack at Elton John concert in London,” Reuters, July 3, 2017:

LONDON – A British teenager who planned to attack an Elton John concert in London on the fifteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks was jailed for life on Monday.

Haroon Syed, 19, from West London, pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist attack between April and September 2016, and has been ordered to serve at least 16 1/2 years.

Syed admitted researching potential targets on the internet, including an Elton John concert in Hyde Park and Oxford Street, a busy shopping district….

    It’s time the death penalty was brought back.
    Why have we to feed and clothe these evil people for the rest of their lives whilst they recruit more violent inmates to their cause?

    Liberals believe that no prison term, for no matter what crime, should exceed 14 years. Liberalism is a death sentence. No wonder liberals get along so well with Muslims.

    Considering the FACT that Islam strictly forbids listening to western music, Syed has no business going anywhere near a concert hall. NONE.

    It appears to me the UK is not the best place for Syed and his family – who should be deported to Syria. He can bomb all he wants to in Syria.

    Muslims.

      Going to a concert hall is perfectly Halal if a Muslim is going there to slaughter Infidels, abad.

      Abad, I’m sure that if a Muslim is going to a concert to blow it up, dying in service to Allah, it’s okay if he hears a little Western music in the process.

    ……………………..

    “Life in prison”–what a joke. Some people are so bad they should *never* be released into society again. How can so many people fail to grasp this?

    ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING is the only solution for jihadism. Jihadist would voluntarily agree to study the latest discoveries of the so-called REVISIONIST THEORY of early Islam. They would also agree to study the moral (or amoral) ethics of Islam at the university level. Graduates of ABSOLUTED DEPROGRAMMING would be convinced of the shadowy origins and amorality of Islam and thus incapable of continuing as jihadists. If arrested jihadists do not agree to ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING, they should be kept in isolation from other inmates for the duration of their sentences.

      All this deprogramming must come at a very high cost, staff, accommodation etc. etc.

      It seems to me that deportation might be cheaper and less stressful for the British taxpayer, failing that how about a bullet. Stops proselytising in its tracks.

      Yes, absolutely, A speaker at Speaker’s corner, London, recently showed 26 different Korans, Muslims were furious!, but that probably did more to counter terrorism than any politically correct programme available. Information is on our side, and we should use it, TV programmes on scholarly research into the origins of the Koran, the Yemeni variants, the Syriac route and all scientific analysis, use it all. If a potential Jihadi understands that he will just get a bunch of small white grapes rather than 72 wide eyed virgins he expects, he simply isn’t going to wage jihad. Destroy the certitude—nullify the Jihadi. Simples.

      Mortimer, you keep saying this–but when has it *ever* worked?
