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

UK: Four Muslims arrested for Christmas jihad mass murder plot

Dec 20, 2017 3:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Theresa May is no doubt dusting off her “Diversity is our strength…Islam teaches peace…we must unite against the far-right…we remain resolute and unbowed” speech.

“Sheffield arrests over ‘alleged UK Christmas terror plot,'” BBC, December 19, 2017:

Action has been taken against an alleged Islamist terror plot in the UK that could have happened at Christmas, counter terrorism sources say.

Four men were arrested early on Tuesday in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

An Army bomb disposal team cordoned off a street in Chesterfield where a 31-year-old man was arrested. Nearby homes were evacuated.

Three other men aged 22, 36 and 41 were arrested in the Burngreave and Meersbrook areas of Sheffield.

All four suspects were detained on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

They have been taken to a police station in West Yorkshire for questioning. The cordon in Chesterfield was later lifted.

The cordon around one of the properties – the Fatima community centre on Brunswick Road in Burngreave – was extended on Tuesday afternoon and the bomb disposal unit attended.

A large number of police vehicles and officers were outside the two-storey building. The main door appeared to be broken on the ground.

Five raids at houses took place on Tuesday at:

Shirebrook Road in Meersbrook, Sheffield
two addresses in Burngreave, Sheffield – including Fatima Community Centre on Brunswick Road
a house on King Street North in Chesterfield
an address in Stocksbridge

Four men were arrested – all at their home addresses.

one in Chesterfield
two in Burngreave
one in Meersbrook…

    These arrests are a credit to the police and counter terrorism people.
    Meanwhile the plotting continues.

      Yes, Michael, as long as this ideology is not DEBUNKED by Western governments, the plotting will go on.

      To the police, clergy and politicians: “It’s the IDEOLOGY, stupid!”

        Untill this’ideology ‘is exposed , debunked and ridiculed like all other ideologies nothing will change here in Britain.This is the problem.Muslims are a protected species.This must stop.Untill there is a real change in leadership here things will worsen.

      Yes..something has changed. We’ve been reading more about arrests for planning plots than actually plots being executed. Good job!

    UK: Four Muslims arrested for Christmas jihad mass murder plot
    ……………………

    Another plotted attack at Christmas. Glad they were caught–this time, at least.

    • mortimer says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 7:25 pm

      GI, all churches must plan to have someone in the congregation to intercept jihadists. Attacks on churches at Christmas will occur.

      The churches will not be prepared.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 20, 2017 at 8:18 pm

        I remember when churches–even in rough neighborhoods–were left unlocked at night. Now this…but you are probably right, at least in Europe and the UK.

        While the people pray inside, there ought to be standing by the doors a couple of men with folded hands over their tommy guns.

    • Mockingjay says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 7:26 pm

      …and another arrest today in Karlsruhe, Germany.

      – This one wanted to do last year’s Christmas market massacre all over again.

          Is ‘hating’Islam considered ‘hate’crime.If so I plead guilty.

        • Mike says

          Dec 21, 2017 at 8:11 am

          Since when is “hating” anything unlawful???? Particularly hating death and evil ????? I am offended by the PC terminology of “Hate “Crimes”, and maintain my right to either love, hate or not care at all about what I see and hear. Don’t you ?

    • balam says

      Dec 21, 2017 at 10:16 am

      That is how the Muslims wish to celebrate CHRISTMAS!!!.

  3. Ragdoll says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 4:01 pm

    Success! Hopefully they caught all of the plotters so the whole thing is kaput.

    • David M says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 7:23 pm

      What about the other 23,000 jihadis in England, I don’t think they are planning to spread happy Christmas wishes. I would be as nervous as hell if I was in a crowded area in England around Christmas day.

      • mortimer says

        Dec 20, 2017 at 7:27 pm

        Thanks, David M. British MPs and church-leaders will probably do nothing. Any jihadist who attacks large congregations is likely to do damage, because the church leaders and politicians are mostly Pollyannas.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Dec 21, 2017 at 4:10 am

        Every Mohammedan currently on a ‘watch’ list – and their closest known associates – should be scooped up *now* and *interned*.

        Pending deportations.

        That is what should be happening all over Europe and, indeed, all over the western world.

          Sadly ,The BRITS don’t seem to have the stomach for that. We need some one like Donald Trump in Britain to lead this great country with the motto’ Britain and its security FIRST’.

    Old story on this link but native Brits can’t even shake a stick (knife) at things

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/jan/10/myleene-klass-knife-intruders

    “she should not have used a knife to scare off the youths because carrying an “offensive weapon”, even in her own home, was illegal.”

      It is the Guardian, but even so…..it’s very depressing to read of the foolishness that leftism brings a nation to….

    Good police work for sure. Helps to have correct policies in place for smart policing to occur.

    It does help to have Muslim community help out in rooting out these bastards, nevertheless.

    Not to be too picky or difficult, but I detect a redundancy here.

      But hey, it could have been a ‘jihad fat reducing exercise plot’ or a ‘jihad better marks at math plot’, doncha know…

    I’m amazed the British Keystone Kops /Islam-Grovelers did this. Isn’t it “islamophobic” to recognize Jihad?

    • Mockingjay says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 7:33 pm

      Well – yes.

      But they have a solution for this: they call it by the “neutral” term “teror” , NOT jihad.

      Look at the headline again:

      “Sheffield arrests over ‘alleged UK Christmas terror plot,’” BBC, December 19, 2017

  12. abad says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 7:38 pm

    Good news, these jihadis really should be deported back to Syria.

    Maybe the UK can eventually get its priorities straightened out. Islam needs to fall from their #1 spot all the way down to minus one hundred or so on its priorities list.

    Here I was saying I would be nervous if I was in a British city this Christmas, but the first mass Muslim attack has happened in my country Australia. An SUV has mowed down a bunch of pedestrians in Melbourne, & the police have already described it as a terrorist attack/ Terrorist attack means Muslim attack to everyone but the far left.

      Yes, I was reading about it just now.
      Names of the perps not yet released (or weren’t in the news stories I was seeing, just after it happened).

      But there was a non-pixillated pic of one of the people from the car – possibly the driver – and he was a MOMA” – ‘man of middle-eastern or mediterranean appearance’.

      • David M says

        Dec 21, 2017 at 7:01 am

        He is a 32 year old Afghani Muslim migrant, but they are going with the old “mental health problems, not terrorism” angle.

        • dumbledoresarmy says

          Dec 21, 2017 at 7:11 am

          What beats me is that they seem to think that if someone has psychiatric illness they cannot *also* be a jihadist.

          But why should that be the case? It doesn’t follow at all. Same thing with a person being on drugs/ dealing drugs, engaging in petty crime, etc. There is *no* necessary contradiction between a Muslim person’s being clinically psychiatrically ill, and / or being a criminal (in the sense of stealing stuff, assaulting people, making and pushing drugs) and their being inspired by the jihad doctrine of Islam.

          And as Hugh Fitzgerald has pointed out more than once, the mental ‘grid’ of Islam is such that if someone raised within Islam starts hearing voices, the voices are very likely to tell them to kill kuffar.

    • David M says

      Dec 21, 2017 at 4:26 am

      Some photos of the perps after arrest here. They look like Muslims to me.

    ; Muhammadans need a visit from three ghosts on Christmas Eve, although they’ll never learn their lesson, and will try to rape the ghosts, and/or prostitute them.

    How much police time has this taken? Therefore how much money? The cost of clearing up the Manchester outrage has been put at £28million, all things included. How many £millions to stop one of these ‘events’? The UK, and indeed the entire West, needs muslims like it needs a hole in the head; which is just about all you can in any case expect with muslims around.

  16. Walter Sieruk says

    The cruel ,vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who compose ISIS are so very brutal and deadly that they even want to murder people, even on Christmas The malicious jihadists of that jihad entity, ISIS, are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 2:191,4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
