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

UK: Muslim admits to plotting jihad massacres at Madame Tussauds, St Paul’s Cathedral, & London’s busy Oxford Street

Aug 11, 2018 1:37 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion requires him to commit treason and mass murder. No authorities anywhere have ever shown any interest in this recurring phenomenon.

“Muslim convert admits London Oxford Street terror plot,” BBC, August 10, 2018:

A man has pleaded guilty to plotting a terror attack on London’s Oxford Street and raising money for terrorism.

Lewis Ludlow, 26, planned to hire a van and hit pedestrians and also targeted Madame Tussauds and St Paul’s Cathedral, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

He pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey and is due to be sentenced on 2 November.

Ludlow, who also used the name Ali Hussain, had hoped to kill up to 100 people….

Ludlow, from Rochester, Kent, first came to the attention of police in 2010 when he attended a demonstration led by radical preacher Anjem Choudary and his banned Al-Muhajiroun group.

When Ludlow was arrested in 2015, Islamic State group material was found on his electronic devices but no further action was taken….

In January, Ludlow bought a ticket to fly to the Philippines but he was stopped at the airport and his passport seized.

He claimed he was going to the country as a sex tourist but was found to have been in communication with a man named Abu Yaqeen in an area with a significant IS presence….

When police searched Ludlow’s home, they also found torn-up notes detailing when the targets would be the busiest.

The first note read: “Madame Tussads [sic]. Oxford street busiest time between 11 – 12 particularly Fridays. St Paul’s Cathedral. Shia temple… Further locations scouted for the Kil [sic].”

A second read: “Crowded London Areas, Oxford Street – long road with no bollards or barriers preventing a van mounting the pavement. Busiest time is between 11am – 12pm with Saturday being the busiest day.

“It is a busy street it is ideal for an attack. It is expected nearly 100 could be killed in the attack.”…

    Germany: Four Syrian asylum seekers steal 58 weapons and are only punished with a suspended sentence —
    It’s like a civil war raid! Four Syrians plunder an arms trade in Dresden. Nobody asks the question for what purpose. This was not an ordinary theft that Adel Al A., Omar Y., Mustafa S. and Khaled A., all between the ages of 15 and 20, made at night. Together they captured revolvers, pistols, rifles, knives, truncheons and three stun guns, as well as ammunition and a baseball bat. The value of the loot was more than 12,000 euros. A total of 58 weapons were stolen.To get to the hot goods, the four masked men smashed the shop windows with hammers, broke the glass and then filled their backpacks. Fortunately, passers-by watched the doings and called the police, who arrested the quartet. Only ridiculous juvenile sentences were punished in court for this, even though theft, insult, spitting attacks, death threats with a knife, violence and deprivation of liberty were already apparent before the robbery of weapons.

    Lewis Ludlow, a ginger Anglo-Celtic jihadist. What was the ‘RACE’ of Islam again?

    I keep forgetting … (sarc/off).

    Is this not PROOF one more time that Islam is a CULT OF DEATH?

    How many more PROOFS like this will the British people need to make the right conclusion?

    SLOGAN OF ISLAM: “WE LOVE DEATH.”

      Muslims love misery – misery loves company…

        Not accurate. There is a great ‘team spirit’ in Islam and camaraderie. No movement can survive and flourish if it is all drudgery.

        Nonetheless, many devout Muslims get ‘Salafi burnout’ and then they become non-practicing.

        Mortimer,

        Good point, but it’s certainly “misery” from an “unbelievers” point of view.

      What’s with the gingers? It must be that Viking blood. There are more redheads in Scotland than anywhere else now, and the DNA percentage is pretty high there (but not too high in England).

        Most gingers are fine. It is just especially memorable when they convert to Islam because it is so bizarre.

    Weak man, weak mind…easy target for muslims. They prey on the weak, give them a ‘family’, a reason for living and in return they’ll do anything to show their appreciation..

    Why not ship him to one of the lands of ‘his people’? See how he likes it there.

      It seems a bit of a red flag that one would describe himself as a “sex tourist”. Call me old-fashioned.

    Recent converts are on fire with their new religion, study it in depth, and seek to carry out its teachings. In other words, the new convert to Islam knows that his religion commands him to murder non-believers.

    I suspect that Ludlow targeted the Tussaud wax museum because of its effigies of notables. He may have perceived the museum as promoting idolatry, its visitors essentially mushrikoon – idol worshippers – who are deserving of death.
