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

UK: 18-year-old Muslima claims to have left Islam as she is jailed for life (i.e. 13 years) for jihad plots

Aug 6, 2018 11:56 am By Robert Spencer

“Her lawyers told the court the teenager had been ‘groomed’ into Islamist ideas and is now ‘no longer a Muslim’. But Judge Mark Dennis QC rejected that, saying: ‘In my view there’s insufficient evidence to say at this stage this defendant is a truly transformed individual. Her views were deeply entrenched.'”

It shouldn’t matter what her views are now. It should only matter what she plotted to do. Still, it is odd that any judge in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain would have rejected this defense. Maybe Mark Dennis QC thought that to accept it would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Britain’s youngest female terror plotter Safaa Boular jailed over London bomb plot,” The Sun via News Corp Australia, August 4, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

BRITAIN’S youngest female terror plotter has today been jailed for life over a plot to bomb London after a judge rejected her claims she has been deradicalised.

Safaa Boular, 18, was branded the “Mad Hatter” after she used coded language with an Alice in Wonderland tea party theme to discuss the murderous scheme.

She even went on a “reconnaissance journey” around major landmarks in Westminster — taking a chilling selfie outside M16 headquarters.

Safaa has now been jailed for life with a minimum of 13 years at the Old Bailey Criminal Court in London after being found guilty of preparing acts of terrorism abroad and in the UK.

She is the youngest female to be charged with planning an IS attack in the UK.

Her lawyers told the court the teenager had been “groomed” into Islamist ideas and is now “no longer a Muslim”.

But Judge Mark Dennis QC rejected that, saying: “In my view there’s insufficient evidence to say at this stage this defendant is a truly transformed individual. Her views were deeply entrenched.

“However much she may have been influenced and drawn into extremism, it appeared she knew what she was doing and acted with open eyes.”

Safaa first began planning a grenade and gun attack on the British Museum when she was thwarted from joining her ISIS husband in Syria.

She then passed the baton to her sister Rizlaine, 22, after she was arrested and remanded in custody for trying to travel to the war zone.

Her fellow plotters admitted their roles before the trial and were sentenced in June.

Rizlaine received life imprisonment with a minimum of 16 years and their mother, Mina Dich, 44, was jailed for an extended sentence of 11 years and nine months — six years and nine months in prison and five years on licence.

Judge Dennis said: “It would appear that by 2012, 2013, a new theme had emerged in the family, namely Mina Dich’s increasing move towards a conservative and ultimately more extreme version of the Islamic faith.

“This affected not only her mindset and approach to daily life but also that of her daughters.”

The women were snared in a “proactive” investigation involving surveillance by counter-terrorism police and MI5 agents posing online as IS operatives.

Counter-terrorism chief Dean Haydon, of Scotland Yard, said the case demonstrated a worrying rise in youngsters being arrested for terrorism.

The court heard how Safaa was just 16 when she was wooed online by Coventry-born IS fighter Naweed Hussain, 32.

The couple got married in an online ceremony and talked of donning his-and-hers suicide belts to achieve martyrdom together.

Police uncovered Safaa’s plans to join him following an airport stop in August 2016 and confiscated her passport.

While on bail, Safaa turned her attention to an attack on the British Museum, encouraged by Hussain in “lovey-dovey” messages.

Burka-wearing Safaa also scoped out the MI6 headquarters near her home, and took a selfie in front of the building, the court heard.

Hussain was lured into revealing his murderous intentions to British secret service agents posing as IS supporters online before he was killed in a drone strike.

When an agent pretending to be his commander informed Safaa of his death on April 4 last year, she was wracked by grief and resolved to join him.

She revealed to the undercover officer that Hussain had talked about attacking the British Museum with a “tokarev” Russian-made pistol and “pineapples” — code for grenades.

On being remanded in custody over her attempt to travel to Syria, Safaa persuaded her fellow IS supporter sister to take over.

In coded telephone calls involving their mother Mina, the sisters discussed a traditional English tea party with an Alice in Wonderland theme.

Rizlaine said she knew “a few recipes for some amazing cakes” for a “proper like English tea party kind of thing”.

Safaa suggested an “Alice in Wonderland theme” telling her sister: “You can be the Mad Hatter cause your hair’s crazy”.

Mother-of-four Mina responded: “That will be fun”.

Rizlaine then scoped around the Palace of Westminster and bought knives and a rucksack from Sainsbury’s….

    “life” in prison usually only means “life’ if “without parole” is added.

    All of them will still be young enough to murder others when released from prison.

    Clearly, a moslim must want to get of of islam in order to get out of islam and live a different life.

      If she serves 13 years, she’ll be out at 31–young enough to wage Jihad for decades.

      Life in prison should mean just that.

        One thing for sure is their 13 years in prison will never be as harsh asTommy Robinsons 2 months of near starvation rations in solitary confinement.

    Ah yes, “a conservative and ultimately more extreme version of the Islamic faith.”
    We have heard this before.

    MEMO to News Corp Australia:
    There are no “versions” of Islam’s core instructions.
    States and individuals vary in how closely they APPLY them.

    She could have remained muslim as UK prison grants privileges to muslim inmates: halal food, 5 times prayer, authority over the staff, etc.

    Like an orthodox muslim should do, she invokes sura 16:106. Thanks for playing …

    UK: 18-year-old Muslima claims to have left Islam as she is jailed for life (i.e. 13 years) for jihad plots
    …………………..

    Good for the judge for rejecting this obvious Taqiyya.

      If this lying obnoxious specimen had actually left islam, she wouldn’t just be getting a 13-year ‘life’ vacation in one of Her Majesty’s hotels, she’d be under threat of a death sentence from her chums from the ‘Religion of Peace’. We all know that. In any case we also know that islam is like malaria – once you’ve got the virus, you never shift it, especially for those born with it. Total elimination is the cost-effective answer for this kind of demographic environmental hazard, and permanent deportation to suitable habitat is the next best option.

        Very true, Jayell.

    If she accept to burn a Koran, she should be released. She would be safer than most pakistani English. Why paying £3000 per month for her incarceration ?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 8, 2018 at 12:23 am

      Why should she be released? Even if this were true–and there is *no* reason to believe that it is–people in a civilized society still need to pay for their crimes.

    It really is galling that the poor British taxpayer has to pay to keep her in relative luxury for some years.
    This ghastly piece of work and her family should be deported to the Middle East and left there, Iraq, Syria, who cares. Most of us in UK are beyond caring what happens to them.

    She should be stoned because she hasn’t got her face covered. I need to get stoned if I have to look at that photo any more.

    If she has left islam why is she still wearing hijab.at all? Bull sh t !!

    The former Great Britain, now this shattered, staggering, Dhimmified shadow of its former self, needs to stand up straight and reinstate the death penalty for crimes of this nature.
