Imagine if all the ingenuity that is devoted toward devising new ways to murder people were instead devoted to aiding people. But in the Qur’an, Allah commands Muslims to kill (cf. 2:191, 4:89, 9:5), not to save.
“ISIS Terrorist Behind U.S. Laptop Ban Bomb Plot Identified as British Car Mechanic,” by Tom Porter, Newsweek, June 17, 2018:
A car mechanic from the U.K., who remains at large in Iraq and Syria, has been identified by a former British intelligence agent as one of the masterminds behind a terror plot that led the U.S. to ban laptops on flights.
Hamayun Tariq, 41, from Dudley, twice managed to evade authorities and travel abroad, where he allegedly developed powerful bombs that could be disguised as laptop batteries and taken onto airliners.
In extracts of his autobiography Nine Lives published in the London Sunday Times, Aimen Dean, a former al-Qaeda explosives expert, describes being recruited by U.K foreign intelligence agency MI6 to infiltrate jihadist groups[.]
While working as an undercover agent, he claims he met Tariq, who went by jihadi alias “Abu Muslim.”
Tariq was jailed for tax fraud after being deported in 2007 from Pakistan where is suspected to have trained with a top al-Qaeda bomb maker. But after being released in 2014 he departed for Syria and Iraq to establish a base in Islamic State group (ISIS)-controlled territory.
In Syria, he posted images of bomb making equipment and detailed instructions of how to assemble explosives on social media to encourage “lone wolf” attackers in the west.
“An intelligence source told me in 2017 that Abu Muslim was involved in ISIS efforts to develop bombs that could be smuggled onto aircraft disguised as laptop batteries,” writes Dean….
According to Dean, Tariq also planned to attack spectators in sports stadiums using bomber drones.

Almost all lithium batteries have a retardant mixed into the lithium to limit the dischage current. Without it, when short-circuited, they quickly overheat and then go “BOOM.” For the battery on a full size laptop, it’s equivalent to a stick of dynamite.

He will be welcomed back to the UK, of course.

if they don’t take him, then Canada will as the stupid PM, Justin bin Laden is welcoming back Canadians who left Canada to join ISIS. Former PM Steven Harper put into law that anyone who did that would lose their Canadian citizenship, passport, and the right to enter Canada. Justin rescinded this law and is now welcoming back with open arms all those Canadian ISIS Fighters. He is doing other things that are destroying this country…but….he was elected. We are praying that he will be kicked out come the next election. I also pray each and everyday that Tommy Robinson be kept safe until he is out of prison. That is also disgusting.

There seems to be a certain amount of intelligence in that community. What little there is, could be put to better use than killing people. Unfortunately, they seem to spend most of their time reading a hate book and acting out what it says in the book.

Islam is the Heart of Darkness.
Satan was a liar and a murderer from the beginning.
This is why we have Taqiyya and Jihad.

A messenger of Allah, not God. Allah is not God. In Arabic and the Qur’an, Almighty God is Ilah, Al Rahman, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful, the most Gracious. Allah is always called Allah ‘the god’.

If he’s 41 now, this ‘British Citizen’ would probably have got all his education and training courtesy of the British tax payer, i.e, idiots like me. So next time anyone’s in an airport and paying for the privilege of having their time wasted, their patience stretched and being treated like a third-rate criminal they can point at the likes of me and quite logically accuse me of aiding and abetting third-world heaps of protoplasm like the ‘hero’ (sic) of this story to make something useful of themselves. Except we didn’t realise that organisms like this ‘hero’ have a different definition of ‘being useful’ from the one that we normally understand in the UK. We should have remembered that you ‘can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’ before we started giving out British passports like Green Shield stamps – especially where muslims are concerned!

Well said.

Israel has shared intelligence globally and has prevented 250 jihadi attacks this year 2018.
Yet few support Israel in the UN. Perhaps if she stopped sharing intelligence with those who are about to be attacked, they might see the folly of their stance.
After all if Israel becomes unable to share this intel there will be a lot more casualties.

De-funding the UN would be a great start.

The U.S. TSA would have NEVER caught this. It quickly became clear that their job isn’t really to stop terrorists from boarding planes. It’s to desensitize a huge portion of American citizens to being sexually assaulted by strangers in public. It’s to get them ready to bow down to the next wave of homofascist demands that our corrupt supreme court will surely unconstitutionally enforce.
Imho.

I personally witnessed TSA taking a loaded gun from a passenger. Law Enforcement handcuffed him and took him away. Imagine that man on a fully-loaded American Airlines flight. Reminiscent of 911. Flying is not fun anymore but don’t blame the people who confiscate knives and guns and chemical weapons every single day in U.S. checkpoints. The skies are NOT friendly anymore and every passenger now takes his shoes off to allah before entering the secure area of any U.S. airport.
