Has anyone looked into where Lewis Ludlow learned about Islam? Has anyone tried to determine how he got the idea that his new religion called upon him to commit mass murder? Or are British authorities satisfied that he was “radicalized on the Internet” and that no mosque or Muslim cleric in his vicinity is teaching any such thing? Have British authorities even made basic inquiries at Ludlow’s mosque? Do they even know which one he attended? Or are they too busy looking out for online “Islamophobic hate crimes”?
“Muslim convert ‘planned large-scale vehicle attack’ at Oxford Street in London,” by Harley Tamplin, Metro, May 1, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
A Muslim convert who allegedly plotted a ‘large-scale’ vehicle attack on London’s Oxford Street has appeared in court.
Lewis Ludlow is accused of targeting busy, landmark parts of the capital, including Madame Tussauds.
The 26-year-old from Rochester in Kent was remanded in custody following a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
He refused to stand in court, saying: ‘I’m not allowed to stand for anyone but God.’
Ludlow, who wore a traditional black Muslim skull cap, spoke to confirm his personal details.
As the charges against him were read out, he said after each one: ‘I declare myself innocent of that charge.’
Ludlow was arrested on April 18 by officers from Kent’s Counter Terrorism unit, prosecutor Mark Dawson said.
He was later charged with two charges relating to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006 and one contrary to Section 17 of the Terrorism Act.
Mr Dawson said: ‘Charge one relates with the defendant’s intention to travel to the Philippines to join up with Daesh, the Islamic State.
‘Charge two relates to sending money, we say, clearly for the benefit of Islamic State.
‘And charge three relates to the defendant planning a large-scale, multiple-casualty vehicle-borne assault, perhaps in the Oxford Street area of London.’
Senior District Judge Emma Arbuthnot said: ‘Clearly on charge three the defendant was planning an attack at Madame Tussauds.’…
Mary says
It’s always a muslim convert never a Christian convert. So why is it called the religion of peace?
mortimer says
Yes, Mary, if Islam were truly ‘peaceful’, then EXTREME Muslims would be extremely peaceful … such as Christian ‘extremists’ … Mother Theresa, Schweitzer, or Saint Francis. St. Francis wrote: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace”.
In contrast, mosques are named after aggressive WARRIORS … Abu Bakr, Omar Farooq, and Khalid ibn Walid.
‘Extreme’ Muslims are ALL JIHADISTS … the short definition of jihad is “AGGRESSION in the name of Islam”.

Well stated, m-t.
As I posted elsewhere herein:
Ren says
islam manufactures insanity.
mortimer says
Islam is based on the dreams of a 7th-century illiterate suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy. Mohammed was murdered by his closest friends who realized that Mohammed’s madness was destroying all that they had worked and killed for. They took action, setting off the Shi’a/Sunni split which endures to our day.
Islam manufactures dysfunctional, fractious societies.
Ren says
@mortimer
Do you have any web references to the setting off of the Shi’a/Sunni plit? Or explain more about it as I am not aware of this topic.

Ren, the Sunni/Shia split does not quite date back to the death of Muhammed, but does date to his succession–those who supported Ali, Muhammed’s cousin (Shia) and those who supported the other “Rightly-Guided Caliphs”, such as Abu Bakr (Sunni). Ali was the fourth of these Caliphs.
This is a pretty bloodless account (for a bloody period) but is pretty accurate:
“Sunni and Shia: explaining the divide”

You always,always, notice that the convert to islam..
1 adopts an attitude of self-righteousness
2 believes himself ENTITLED to break God’s Commandments{Why?Because allah in his koran says you can}
3 feels free to commit treason
4 often takes pleasure in sin:in murdering infidels,indulging in polygamy,bearing false witness through taqqiya etc…. and arrogantly boast about it.
You see the “power of error” at work in them so that “they believe what is false”.
There is a reason for this:those who convert to islam are REJECTING the Truth about God and are following falsehood instead.They are PROVING themselves unworthy of God’s mercy:
this explains the mechanism by which God separates the chaff from the wheat.
“They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved.And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false.the result is that all who have not believed the truth,but have taken pleasure in sin,will be condemned”
2 Thessalonians 2 v 10-12
Thus,God allows those who reject His Truth( in the Judeo-Christian revelation)to delude themselves via “the power of error” .You notice that they suddenly “believe what is false”.
So the convert to islam(in rejecting God’s Commandmennts. ..because allah teaches so),on being inspired by the koran and the example of muhammed,all of a sudden feels liberated enough in their new found creed to BREAK God’s commandments>
Suddenly ,they are free to commit murder(to violate God’s prohibition on intentional homicide via the 6th Commandment) because allah says its ok to do so in k2:191.
But it is NOT ok to do that:the choice needs to be made.Either you obey God’s commandments FIRST or you follow allah’s commandment-of-God violating koranic commands.
the convert to islam deludes himself into thinking he can get away with it because “the power of error” at work in him allows him “to believe what is false”.
