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

Muslim migrant lived illegally in UK, aspired to plot jihad massacre, aided Islamic State communications

Apr 30, 2018 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

Has anyone seen Donald Fagen lately?

Anyway, why did the Home Office allow this man to stay in the country? Would it have been “Islamophobic” to deport him? Was the Home Office too busy making sure that foes of jihad terror did not enter the country to bother with Rabar Mala? He is a symptom of what is wrong with the Home Office’s focus under Theresa May, and David Cameron before her.

“Islamic State ‘Sim card man’ jailed,” by Dominic Casciani, BBC, April 27, 2018:

A man who helped hundreds of jihadist fighters to communicate by activating mobile phone Sim cards for them in the UK has been jailed for eight years.

Rabar Mala, who lived in Warrington, became what amounted to an IT support worker for the Islamic State group.

He helped hundreds of militants in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey get online by exploiting how social media accounts are registered to phone numbers.

Court documents revealed that Mala was living illegally in the UK.

It’s not clear whether the Home Office had tried to remove him.

Mala – originally from Iraq – admitted two counts of possession of property for a terrorist purpose.

Manchester Crown Court heard he also had unfulfilled aspirations to attack the Royal Cheshire County Show….

When detectives searched Mala’s home they found hundreds of Sim cards and 29 social media accounts on a number of handsets.

These contained a vast number of chat groups and more than 700,000 messages, many of which were between IS militants.

As they delved deeper into these records, they established that over 18 months, Mala had registered and activated 360 Sim cards – and he used these in turn to help fighters who had no easy means of registering social media accounts without drawing attention to themselves….

He was caught only because police linked him to extremist material posted on YouTube.

There’s no evidence that Mala made any money from offering the service, leading police to conclude he did it because he believed in the cause.

Some of his messages indicated his commitment to the IS group. In one, he urged associates to consider joining him to attack the Royal Cheshire County Show.

“I am in a place… itchy for operation. About half a million people will attend the show,” he wrote. “I have about seven tickets – it only needs people and weapon.”

The 33-year-old arrived in the UK in 2008. At the time of his arrest last August he had been refused leave to remain. He was working illegally under an assumed name as a car valet.

It’s not clear why he was still in the UK and whether the Home Office, which has been approached for comment, made any attempt to locate and remove him….

    We’ve just lost a Home Secretary because she apparently didn’t know that her department was operating targets to remove illegal immigrants. Reading between the lines, the UK press and the rest of the loony-leftie PC establishment seem to think that removing illegal immigrants isn’t nice. Many of the same people (including the police) also believe that terminally sorting out burglars who’ve invaded your home is heinously wicked. That’s where we are in the UK just now.

      The Windrush immigrants are Caribbean in origin, and in part from a Christian worldview, if not practising Christians as individuals. This in my opinion made them eligible for persecution. The migrants from other areas of the former B Empire where Islam is the worldview. Islam is the religion of choice in the UK. Almost daily their profile is raised in the media and any dissent is called Islamophobia.
      I will be surprised if this man is deported. We are slowly enslaving ourselves to a horrendous demonically inspired ideology.
      Only YHWH God can save us. May we call on him.

        True indeed. On BBC Radio Four SirMelvyn Bragg was chairing a programme called “In our time” . It usually looks at history, anthropology , culture and …..religion.

        This morning “ experts “ chosen by Radio 4 were discussing the Almoravid’s contribution to “ Islamic “ Spain. O e of the experts contorted her speech to avoid stating that the Almoravids grew wealthy through propagating and practising the slave trade. She talked about gold, she talked about salt . She could not bring herself to mention the Islamic slave trade and Melvyn Bragg himself mentioned it after she veered this way and that to avoid mentioning Islam and the slave trade I. One breath.

        The profile and attributed importance of Islam is championed by the BBC at every opportunity

    Yes, a young Donald Fagen indeed! Rikki Don’t Loose That Number! I guess, England is a lost cause. The leftists, the liberal government, the city administrations and the law enforcement are all shooting themselves in the foot on a daily basis, trying to mollycoddle muslims. They all know it, but are not doing anything about it.

    He should be treated as an enemy combatant. He is obviously at war with the UK.

    Britain prefers to have Jihadis than to allow Lauren Southern enter the country.

    Britain is well on its way to becoming another Turkey.

      It could well be already what with the number of young and not so young Turks strutting about the streets and the corridors of power in the UK

    The Tories, with Sharia May and Amber Rudd targeted the WRONG people! How about deporting illegal invaders who are trying to kill British people!!! But, of course, they didn’t! Now, thanks to the Windrush debacle, we have a scenario where British Leftards feel galvanised into grouping together Muslim illegal invaders with Jamaicans who were invited here. Plus, even worse, we now have a new Home Secretary who is Pakistani Muslim. And to think…..Andrew Parker, Head of Mi5, will have to report to him!!!!

    The Civil Service, which is charged with removing illegal immigrants, is full of overpaid useless morons who naturally went for the easiest targets to deport. These were the unfortunate “Windrush” generation, who arrived here in UK from the Caribbean as small children, with their parents who had come quite legally to work. No one thought to give them any special documents to prove their entitlement to live in UK so when the useless civil service was ordered, in a panic, by firstly Theresa May and then by her disciple Amber Rudd, to remove illegals, they plumped for the easiest targets – the low hanging fruit.
    No chasing and deportation of the violent Romanian criminals, the Somali and Afghanistan illegals, or the raping and murdering Pakistani illegals, just the law abiding, tax paying and easily found good citizens who had come to help re build Britain after the war.
    As a born and bred Englishwoman I simply despair at what is happening to my country and the incompetent twerps who put themselves forward as politicians. Everything in UK is going wrong, the education system, the civil service, the welfare, the NHS, all run and led by people with little ability but big opinions of themselves. It is the left at work who have infiltrated every corner of this country, ruined the education system and promoted people with left progressive doctrine which is ruining what was once a well ordered and polite society.

      Well said, Anne.
      Get rid of illegals? Au contraire. They are given bucket loads of taxpayers money to mount appeal after appeal using the Human Rights legislation. The appeals go on for years. Lawyers get fat on them. The Home Office makes blunder after blunder in presenting the case for deportation and then gives up.

      “As a born and bred English woman” you may well weep and with good reason. The U.K. is no longer a polite and well ordered society. It is also no longer basically incorruptible – lying and deceit pervades every echelon and the majority of recent working immigrants only have contempt for Britain and British values.

      I also weep.

    ALL MOSQUES SHOULD BE INFILTRATED and when, not if, they are found to be traitorous then the mosque closed, perpetrators arrested and the mosque burned to the ground. Keep on doing this till there are no mosques left.
