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

UK: Police tell soccer fans to be “really, really vigilant and not be inhibited about reporting stuff to us”

Aug 12, 2018 9:43 am By Robert Spencer

What nonsense. In today’s Britain, if they do report suspicious activity, they’re likely to be charged with “Islamophobia.” In Britain today, the de facto rule is If you see something, say nothing, unless you want your life ruined by authorities intent on pretending that there is a “far-right” threat that is equivalent to the jihad threat.

“Fans warned to expect ‘overt’ anti-terror measures at football stadiums,” Sky News, August 10, 2018:

Police are seeking the help of football fans in tackling terrorism and are asking them to be vigilant at matches.

Officers say stadiums could be targeted as extremists seek out crowded places to attack.

Chief Superintendent Nick Aldworth said: “We know from what we’ve seen on the ground, and also from terrorist rhetoric, that they are interested in attacking crowded places generally, and that would include stadia.

“We want (fans) to think about what they might do in the event of an attack and we want them to be really, really vigilant.

“And not to be inhibited about reporting stuff to us. If it’s trivial to you, it might be significant to us. Don’t worry about it – just tell us and leave it to us to sort it out.”

He said there was no information about a specific threat to football grounds but previous attacks had shown they could be targeted.

The attacks on the Stade de France in Paris in 2015 and on Manchester Arena last year showed such locations could be hit, Mr Aldworth said….

    The 2018/19 British football season has just gotten underway. It’s a juicy target for Mohamed’s meat heads; a stadium packed with infidels and televised live. Perfect for advertising Islam’s savagery!

    In 2017, Manchester United recognized the threat and appointed a full time terrorist expert to set up as many filters as possible to prevent a jihad attack; body searches, cars checked more thoroughly, explosive proof windows installed at the football ground, etc ….

    Islam’s clowns must be salivating at the thought!

      This state of affairs is disgusting. And none of that would be necessary if there were no Muslims in Britain. And everyone knows it — whether they admit it or not.

        YEAH … sure!!! When they report MUSLIM TERRORISM, the police will call it ‘hate speech’ and arrest them.

        Even if there is a real bomb or really military weapons.

    Like the Arianna Grande concert it will be the entrance/exit way that has the bomb explosion. You can’t really get a rucksack into a sports ground.
    Unfortunately the tube/underground en-route is a prime target as with such a small space, packed with people and the shrapnel created from the furnishings its just a killing and maiming machine.

    Sorry folks, no good news here.

    O.K., the authorities admit they’re at war. Now, how to win the war? These instructions are crap. It’s like telling the guards at the Maginot Line to throw twigs at the invading Nazi tanks. Come on!

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Aug 12, 2018 at 11:34 am

      The way to win this war is to eject all Muslims from Britain.

        +1

        Sooner or later it will come to this.

        It is simply not possible for a devout Muslim to also be a loyal Brit. Having sworn allegiance to ‘Allah’, Muslims in the West are BY DEFINITION traitors to their host countries.

        • Savvy Kafir says

          Aug 12, 2018 at 5:51 pm

          Yep. It was insane to allow them into the civilized world. Inexcusably ignorant.

          I just hope this is a mistake the Western world will recover from. I know we CAN recover from it; but WILL we? Will we have the political resolve to deport them, before it’s too late.

      Muslims are never grateful because everything is the will of Allah. If you do them a favour they will be grateful to Allah, if at all, but not to you.

    If I see something? Do you mean like a shifty looking Arab muslim with a koran and a backpack? Who else might they be expecting trouble from, an angry Swedish Protestant?

    We’re all supposed to act hyper-vigilant about terror, but we’re expected to be blind to the cause. Whatever you do, don’t speak about the terror in islam because that would be islamophobic, but please, tell us if you see something.

    Hogwash!

    Yeah, I see something, it’s millions of muslim invaders that bow before a god and religion that want us dead or enslaved, and oh by the way, they’re killing and raping our people while they take over our country. Should I mention that? This just goes to show how confused and feckless the government and police really are in regard to islam. They destroy free speech with jail and fines, ignore the mass rape of their kids, let their towns and cities be over run with crime-ridden enclaves, but hey, you good citizens let us know if you see something at that football match.

    Bullsh*t.

    They tell people to report something suspicious even “if it’s trivial.” Well, would it be too trivial to mention the violence in islam that provokes these terror attacks in the first place? Seriously, what could a person see at that game that could be worse than what we already know about islam? You mean to tell me that a religious organization that is actively engaged in world-wide terror with teachings of murder and violence is below “trivial”? So if I see a funny bulge in a purse or pocket at the game I should flag a cop, but I can’t talk about the explicit violence in islam without getting jailed or fined as a racist bigot? No, what’s trivial here is the amount of concern the police and government have about the real threat which is obviously islam. This call to vigilance is a facade of concern to look dutiful about terror, but in reality they have no intention of pursuing or even admitting that which causes it.

      Excellent post, Japetto.

      And the muslim ‘council’ of Great Britain is now demanding of **Teresa May** that not only must she get Boris Johnson to apologise, but to have him slung out of the party as well. Watch the traitorous bitch capitulate.

    Nice to see the official acknowledgement of the problem. As RS suggested it will probably cause a surge in islamophobia prosecutions and little else. Anyway it’s a step.

  6. No Muzzies Here says

    Aug 12, 2018 at 12:22 pm

    Yes, be really really vigilant, but don’t report on anything a Muslim does, or we’ll hoist your ass into prison, because, after all, we know who our new masters are.

    Due to aggressive affirmative action hiring over decades, much of Britain’s ‘security forces’ are co-religionists with Islamic Jihadists.
    But sure, report your concerns to some Muslims wearing police uniforms.
    Good luck with that.

    The way that the police have recently treated Tommy Robinson is a reminder to citizens of the UK what NOT to report, or say. Sad.

    The truly brave will still report the truth anyway …

    Get enough non-moslims to say what they are seeing, charge them with hate speech…to take away their freedom of speech, it should be called…lock them up and soon, there will only be molsims running loose.

    If enough people “say something” and get locked up for their speech, there will only be moslims available for death by terror, and injury and rape by other moslims.

    All of the non-terrorists will be in prison. Is that what they want?

  10. Terry Gain says

    What’s going on is that Allah is Satan. No God would command his followers to hate and kill innocent people.

  11. Guy Forester says

    Aug 12, 2018 at 5:12 pm

    Yes, please, report any and all suspicious activity. Thus, your name will be added to the government’s list of complainers, bigots, racists, and undesirables that seek to undo the move to peace, love, and diversity.

    Soon, these complainers will experience bizarre arrests and detentions without bail for the most minor infractions, strange accidents, and mysterious robberies ending in murders, but nothing stolen. Look up Nacht und Nebel. Oh, and if you go to the “authorities” to find out what happened to your friend, family member, or coworker, guess what happens?

  12. Japetto Danatelli says

    Aug 12, 2018 at 6:49 pm

    So true. I half suspect that the real motive for these calls to vigilance are more to root out those who have even the tiniest criticism of muslims. It gives them a chance to define in ever increasing detail everyone’s diminished rights under islam. They tell us we shouldn’t feel “inhibited” about reporting anything suspicious, in the meantime journalist Tommy Robinson almost lost his life for simply reporting the facts about a muslim rape trial. If a journalist can be tortured–literally–and imprisoned with a reckless disregard for his safety then I’m not overly confident that your average citizen would fair any better. And how many good Brits have been arrested for non-threatening online postings about islam? “But don’t worry,” they say, “you just come to us with any old suspicions you may have about those terror suspects we can’t talk about in public. You’ll be just fine, yes you will.” Somehow I think not.

    I don’t even live in the UK & I’m not British. But being an avid Tommy Robinson supporter & watching the British state & it’s Sharia police abuse their power in their persecution of Tommy. I wouldn’t report a suspicious mole on my cat’s arse to British police. Never mind a suspicious Muslim. They’d likely charge me with hate speech. Then lock me up in a Muslim-majority prison. Theresa May, her government & Labor will go down as the most treasonous in the history of Britain.
