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

UK: Five Muslim leaders linked to London Bridge jihad attack to be released from prison by the end of this year

Jun 25, 2018 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What could possibly go wrong? The British government has made it abundantly clear: the “Islamophobes” are the problem, and Muslims are victims. No doubt Theresa May expects Anjem Choudary and these other men to become loyal, productive members of British society. And they will, won’t they? After all, haven’t they been disabused of their jihad sentiments and “deradicalized” while in prison? What’s that? No attempt was made to do that whatsoever? Now, why is that?

“Preachers of hate back on Britain’s streets: MI5 terror alert as five jihadi leaders linked to London Bridge attack are set to be let out of jail by the end of the year,” by Omar Wahid, The Mail On Sunday, June 24, 2018:

Police and security chiefs fear the high command of an extremist group that inspired a generation of jihadis will soon be free again to preach hate on Britain’s streets.

Five senior figures in Al-Muhajiroun, whose former members include London Bridge attacker Khuram Butt and Michael Adebolajo, one of Fusilier Lee Rigby’s killers, are expected to be released from prison by the end of the year.

Among them is Anjem Choudary, who is due for release in October having served less than half of a five-and-half-year sentence for inviting support for IS.

It is understood that Choudary, 51, will be kept under curfew in a taxpayer-funded safe house in North London and prevented from spouting extremist views.

But astonishingly, no such restrictions are in place for the others.

According to a source, MI5 and the police fear that, buoyed by the ‘street cred’ of serving prison terms, they will set up recruitment stalls in areas such as London and Luton.

There is concern that the Human Rights Act will prevent police from stepping in.

Up to 80 of the 193 people convicted of terrorism offences between 2007 and 2016 will be eligible for release this year – a situation described as a ‘concern’ by Home Office Minister Ben Wallace.

Choudary is suspected of inspiring at least 100 British jihadis and is denied access to fellow inmates by being kept in a ‘prison within a prison’ at HM Frankland in County Durham.

Once released, it is understood he will be allowed to visit his family in Ilford, East London, during the day but must return to the safe house at night.

He will be under 24-hour surveillance and prevented from preaching in person or on the internet.

But Choudary’s right-hand man, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, 34, of Whitechapel, East London, who was also convicted of inviting support for IS and is likely to be released in October, faces fewer restrictions.

A source claimed Rahman, whose lectures included the condoning of the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning by IS in Syria, will be able to meet fellow ALM members and preach in public.

It is understood the same freedom will be available to Mohammed Ishtiaq Alamgir, 38, the leader of ALM in Luton who is expected to complete his sentence in December for a terrorism offence, and Rajib Khan, 39, also from Luton, who was released earlier this month after completing a five-year jail term….

      A couple of years ago there was a TV documentary by a very brave woman reporter (I think for Channel 4)
      investigating how women were recruited to join ISIS and support the Islamic terrorists.
      She managed to infiltrate a number of meetings and secretly record them. It made for riveting viewing and one was genuinely frightened for her in the last one where they started to suspect h er.

      Fortunately she survived to tell the tale, not that Theresa May and her Government were remotely interested, but the salient feature was that the head woman, exhorting other women to leave for ISIS was the wife of Anjem Choudary. This woman was extremely vocal and influencing the other Muslim women very forcefully.

      It seems our Government really doesn’t care or has given up.

    It’s too bad Anjem Choudary will be kept muzzled. He makes some of the best arguments against Islam that I’ve heard … right up there with Ibrahim Itace Muhammed.

        Also, by keeping his hirsute primitive mug on the television all the time, subconsciously people might not be as persuaded to convert as most people are inherently adverse to follow ugly people. Although it might be the opposite in liberals and convert-types (Just as there is a trillion-dollar market for “Beauty” creams, not “Ugly” creams).

      It’s just a two-step process now. Choudary tells Rahman and Rahman delivers his thoughts to the ummah(and us, of course).

      To us yes, but not to pious Muslims. Imagine how many Muslims he radicalised further while he has been in prison.

  3. Walter Sieruk says

    First, the very idea that those Muslim terrorists who committed those London Bridge jihad attacks might be released is an awful miscarriage of justice to their victims That even a small chance the the vicious jihadist terrorists could possibly be freed is also outrageous and wrong.

    Second, that imam Choudary sure has his stooges and tools in power in London which he obviously uses so well. , As that jihad-minded Muslim mayor of that city Sadig Khan and that mindless ignorant fool Theresa May The Muslim mayor of London said “Those terrorist attacks on London were performed by men [the terrorists] who were trying to justly their action by the religion I belong to …their ideology is a perversion [ of Islam ] and has no place in Islam” The Muslin mayor, Sadiq Khan, of the capital city of England further said that he is “Outraged at those who try to hide their evil with Islam.” He could be in a genuine mental state of denial about the violent and deadly of many of the parts of Islam or by contrast he might know and is attempting to cover up the truth about the violent essence of Islam. For that prime minster of England, Theresa May, made public statements about those violent and vicious terrorist attacks on London Bridge and nearby Borough Market. She has declared this heinous religious terror attack as the outcome of “an ideology that is a perversion of Islam,” That statement shows that she didn’t do her homework. For those jihadist Muslims were putting in the practice the instruction of real, actual, non-watered down hard core Islam. As the Quran in, for example, Surah 9:123 instructs “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…” Running over non-Muslims with a van and then stabbing them is a very effective way of showing people who are not Muslims harshness. Also Surah 9:111 teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” The whole foundation for the ideology of Islamic terrorism is the theology of the Quran. As seen in those two, just sited, verses from the Quran and other verses well, such as, Surah 4:89. 5:33 47:4. Teresa May also denounced “Extremism.” This type of “Extremism” is based on the Quran.

    Third, those jihadists /Islamic terror attacks in the city of London by the brutal vehicle jihad attack on London Bridge and then their going over and stabbing people at nearby Borough Market had the combined results of multiple casualties were heinously evil and cruel to the extreme . This, as strange as it may seem to some people is in accord to the instruction of the “holy book” of Islam the Quran , For example the Quran instructs in Surah 9:123. “O you who believe! Fight of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…”
    So those three malicious and vicious jihad-minded Muslims they violent actions were following the instruction of the Quran. Let’s face it, stabbing people with large long knifes’ and running them over with a van is a very effective way of showing disbeliever’s harshness.
    Islam a “peaceful religion” ? BULL !

    March 2017. This means you can go to London, mass kill people by driving into them, get a five years sentence slap on the hands, and then be freed one and a half year later.

    Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_London_Bridge_attack:
    The Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn, the Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron and the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan all wrote on Twitter that their thoughts were with those affected and expressed thanks to the emergency services.[104][105][106] Khan described the attack as “deliberate and cowardly” and condemned it “in the strongest possible terms”.[107] He later said that “the city remains one of the safest in the world” and there was “no reason to be alarmed” over the increased police presence around the city.[108]

    Walk on people please. Nothing to see here.

    “Recruitment stalls”, otherwise known as Mosques?

    And soon we’ll have the Moses-Aaron-like team of Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Mizanur Rahman to provide entertainment as Rahman attempts to induct the not-so-bright. Will the Brits pay to support a new wife(or two) for Anjem? Will the taxpayers prepare halal meals for Anjem? Tune in tomorrow as the great empire turns – into Britainstan.

    Theresa May pretends to govern Britain, while actually paving the way for Islam to be the law of the land. Perhaps she thinks that she will have a high position in an Islamic Britain. A delusion, if that’s what she thinks.

  10. DHazard says

    Jun 25, 2018 at 4:23 pm

    Meanwhile, the UK’s internet thought police will be monitoring the internet to make sure no one expresses concern about this premature release that mentions Islam, Muslims, Islamists, etc. For instance, saying Anjem Choudary is not out of the mainstream when it comes to Muslims might lead to fines, community service and even jail time.

    So, Chowderhead and co. are set to be released by the end of this year
    by the absolute scum we have in government. No surprise there and it’s
    entirely consistent with the utter contempt they clearly have for the populace.
    I think there is a malicious method behind the apparent madness and
    “anarcho-tyranny” is indeed a thing :

He is shouting himself hoarse and yet not one of these leaders are even giving him a chance to prove himself.. which he will if given a fair chance .. He should be allowed to speak in the Senates of all the nations of the Greater West… ALAS!!!!

    That being said, Anjem is a Pest of a being.. A REAL TOXIC PEST .. A GOOD FOR NOTHING AS MOST OF HIS KIND ARE!!!! He should either have been locked up in isolation for life or booted out of the UK…JEEZ!!!

  15. Arthur says

    Jun 26, 2018 at 2:07 am

    I think Anjem Choudary and Robert Spencer are in large agreement about what Islam is and isn’t, and this honest viewpoint is not welcome in the UK. And they both speak about it openly, directly, and clearly, and are able to quote the Koran to support their comments. In other words, they are the threat the UK fears most: honest education about Islam.

    The difference between Anjem and Robert is that Anjem considers Islam good and Robert considers Islam evil. But they both know what Islam is.

    Letting Anjem speak openly to the public, and broad acknowledgement of his correctness, could be a great strategy for unmasking Islam. How can the leftists disagree with him? He is an educated Muslim!

    • Joe says

      Jun 26, 2018 at 3:39 am

      We should suppose that May and other leaders are on the same page, and they clearly want to use terror in Britain. That is why Spencer is not allowed a voice.

    • gravenimage says

    What a display of sidestepping responsibility. If it’s in the way then scrap the f*cking Human Rights Act!
    These murderous ars*hol*s should be spending a couple of decades in military prisons, awaiting the cessation of hostilities. The morons running the country seem only intent on pulling the teeth of those who want action, by locking up free thinking reformist leaders like Mr Robinson.

      One of the advantages of leaving the European Union is the UK can escape from both European courts. As well as repealing the human rights act Britain would have to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This takes 6 months and requires the UK to “Denounce” the treaty called ‘European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms’ to be using its Article 58.

    Releasing Choudry before his time his up is pure madness, only an incompetent administration would do such a thing. Or is there something far worse at play here? One wonder – is this release maybe do to corruption or pressure?

    • A_M_Swallow says

      Jun 26, 2018 at 4:57 am

      No, there is nothing unusual about this early release. In Britain judges announce the maximum sentence, but prisoners normally only serve a third of that.

      The advantages are the politicians appear to be much harder on law and order than they actually are, civil servants think they are saving money on prisons and lawyers know they will get two legal aid fees from the same bad guy.

      • Gjallarhornet says

        Jun 26, 2018 at 8:59 am

        Ok, thank you. I am familiar with the practice of not serving full sentence off course. Most countries in the Western world practice this – in my country standard practice is being in prison for two-thirds of the sentence. My question is this: Do you know if this HAS to enforced in the UK? Is there anything the matter for keeping a prisoner in jail for the whole duration? My opinion, and I hardly think I’m alone here, would be be to keep Chourdy behind bars for as long as the law allows. I find it very strange that a country would not explore every possibility for keeping people such as these locked up for as long as possible.

        • A_M_Swallow says

          Jun 26, 2018 at 9:28 am

          There are special rules for men given life sentences but normally only bad behaviour in jail extends his prison time. An imam will have gotten one of his recruits to do anything naughty so will serve the minimum sentence.

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 27, 2018 at 12:23 am

          And in the US early release is at least nominally based on good behavior in jail. My understanding is that unless someone is actually murdering people in prison in the UK or most of Europe, that this is seldom even a consideration. Insanity.

    A few have already posted the same sort of thoughts about releasing Anjem Choudary, and I’d like to add that’s actually a helpful thing. He doesn’t appear to be smart enough to change his modus operandi, so it’s nice to see a “loose lips will sink ships” on the side of Islamists. I think when Hannity learned of his release, he might have danced for joy.

    Unlike the majority of Islamists, Choudary is perfectly willing to lay it out on public and doesn’t try to window dress Jihad. He makes the perfect Jihad poster boy for counter Jihad representatives to point at – you just have to wait for him to blab on and on. Hopefully, he’ll go right back to handing out flyers to non-Muslim pubs and such that they can’t serve alcohol any longer. If we’re lucky, he’ll also go back to telling U.K. officials, and anyone else that will listen, how the U.K. now belongs to Islam. He’s literally the gift that keeps on talking.

    This will be a limited time gift, however, because he will at some point get himself tossed right back into a cell, so I hope everyone gets their voice and video recorders ready for him while you can.
