How did he afford the drugs, which are often used to finance jihad activity? Where did he get the weapons? He had “a large collection of mobile phones, face masks, knives and digital scales.” Mobile phones, face masks, knives: those could be used for drug dealing but also for jihad activity.
“JAILED: Taxi driver found with huge haul of weapons and £1.5m worth of drugs,” by John Scott, Express & Star, December 15, 2017:
A taxi driver found with an arsenal of weapons and £1.5m worth of drugs was starting a 20-year 10 month prison sentence today.
Mohammed Asif leapt naked from an upstairs window when police burst into his home in the early hours of May 26, Wolverhampton Crown Court was told.
The married 30-year-old landed on a wheelie bin and was quickly detained by officers who ringed the Queens Road, Smethwick property, revealed Mr Nicholas Smith, prosecuting.
Over £60,000 worth of cocaine and heroin was hidden in various places throughout the address along with a large collection of mobile phones, face masks, knives and digital scales.
A bag with over £45,000 was concealed behind the cushions of a settee.
Two sets of car keys were discovered during the search which Asif said were both for the Skoda parked on his drive but only one opened it. A simultaneous raid was carried out by police at a house in Bearwood Road, Smethwick, occupied by tenants but linked to the defendant, where there was another Skoda.
Mr Smith continued: “When opened it was found to be packed with drugs and guns.” The haul included three revolvers, two of which were loaded and ammunition for the third.
There was also a shotgun and cartridges, a Taser stun gun, 23.5 half kilo blocks of heroin with a street value of £1.2m together with a large amount of cocaine, material capable of producing a batch of the synthetic drug Spice valued at £50,000 and around 200 rounds of ammunition.
Asif bought and sold cars as well as working as a taxi driver but his income was ‘extremely modest,’ maintained Mr Oliver Blunt QC, defending….
Nannette says
He only got ten months for this crime?
But throw a piece of bacon at a mosque and get a year in prison!!!
mgoldberg says
15 yrs for the guy in Florida.
Phil Copson says
Take a closer look – it says “20 years 10 months” – which seems oddly exact……
Michael McDermott says
20 years plus 10 months
Christina Hadleigh says
Nannette, It says; 20yrs 10 months, not just 10 months…

I wonder what the London Mayor has to say about this? last time asked he said he didn’t have the time to look into this as he has so many other things more important to look into.
Santa Voorhees says
Of course he did not have the time! He was too busy with implementing gender-neutral toilets, a far more important issue!
Who cares about tackling islamic…. ehm… sorry, I meant “mental illness-related” terrorism and islamic…. ehm… again, I meant “asian” grooming gangs? I mean, come on, that’s nothing to be concerned about!

From the article – “Mohammed Asif leapt naked from an upstairs window when police burst into his home in the early hours of May 26, Wolverhampton Crown Court was told.
“The married 30-year-old landed on a wheelie bin and was quickly detained by officers who ringed the Queens Road, Smethwick property,…”.
ROFLMAO.
The mental image of this vile creep flying through the air in the altogether, *landing on a wheelie bin*… what a pity he didn’t land *in* the bin, head first, feet up, all ready for the lid to be slammed down and locked…

Hilarious, DDA!

They should bear in mind the possibility that he was associated with or a member of one of those horrible mohammedan ‘grooming gangs’. Getting a slice of the profits from the mohammedan abuse of one or more wretched underaged girls, perhaps. I wonder whether anyone’s thought to look into *that* possibility.

What on earth has this article got to do with Jihad Watch. This is nothing to do with Jihad but a criminal. I live in Walsall, UK and we see criminality like this every week here in all communities. I mean, if you want to start stereotypinting communities like this, lets include all communities including the white community.
Michael Copeland says
Breaking kaffir laws, destroying kaffir society through drug-addiction, and evading kaffir tax authorities are all part of multi-faceted hostilities – war – against infidel society. “..to war against non-Muslims” is what “jihad” means (Reliance of the Traveller, o9). Other “communities” may well be criminal, but not INSTRUCTED to be by their ideology. Muslims are. These actions are jihad.
Ashley says
I don’t believe Afir’s actions are jihad, Michael. He’s a drug dealing criminal. Glad he’s off the street.
Thomas Kimball says
Ya muslim nations have nothing to do with drugs like heroin, all the poppy fields are grown strictly for their beauty not for the destruction of infidels!!
gravenimage says
Very often drug sales go to fund violent Jihad.
Ashley says
I agree with you, Xen. Asif is a major drug dealer. Drug dealers come in all shapes and sizes.
I don’t know why this post is on JW. I don’t even know if Asif is a Muslim.
Asif is serving 20 years and 10 months for his cache of weapons and drugs. I don’t see the connection to jihad.
Xen says
I am against Jihad in all its forms and I agree with most of what Robert Spencer says on this subject. But what I don’t agree with is that when something negative happens in the Muslim community, Robert Spencer produces a quote(s) from the Quran or hadith to support his view of how terrible that community is. I just don’t think that it is as black and white as that. This is a complex matter and we need a more nuanced understanding and approach to this.
Peace.

Infidel says
Crime and Islam somehow become bed buddies.. Some of the biggest criminals in the free world are Muslims..
Thomas Kimball says
When a Muslim does it it’s not a crime it’s just part of their culture like genital mutilation, honor killing or buggering children, Its all good!!!
Save Europe says
God, he’s ugly.
MFritz says
It’s the very same “mystery” how many of the migrants between 20-35 can afford the expensive – illegal – travel to Europe. (Because they’re mostly criminals and/or IS-soldiers.)
Valkyrie Ziege says
; The Mosque they attend financed those Muhammadans.
Owen Morgan says
The only surprising thing about this case is that the police bothered to do a serious investigation. Enforced early retirement for the officer in charge, I should imagine.
Mahendra Singh says
Allah giveth the Ghazi all tools to eliminate non-believers.
