The police are still trying to “establish his motivation” because they cannot or will not admit publicly that there is a global jihad, and that forces of that jihad have called upon Muslims in the West to mount lone wolf attacks against civilians, using their cars as weapons.
“Investigators are searching his former flat above a row of shops in Sparkbrook, near where the first Westminster attacker Khalid Masood lived. The area was the home of several terrorists, including UK’s first suicide bomber, its first al-Qaeda plotter, one of one of the financiers of the 9/11 attacks and several extremists who went to fight for Isis.”
But still, Salih Khater’s motive is a mystery. It would be like the BBC in 1939 saying that a large group of Germans had suddenly started marching toward Warsaw, but they were still trying to establish their motivation.
“Salih Khater: Birmingham shop manager from Sudan named as Westminster car attack suspect,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, August 15, 2018:
The man accused of launching a terror attack in Westminster is Salih Khater, a British citizen who moved to the UK from Sudan, The Independent understands.
A flat where he previously lived in Birmingham was among three properties being searched by police as they investigate the 29-year-old’s possible motivations.
He was “not cooperating” with the investigation overnight and remains in police custody.
Mr Khater describes himself as a shop manager on his Facebook page, where the “about” section reads: “In past I’m great but now I say I don’t no [sic]”.
He said he studied at Sudan University of Science and Technology and went to school in Wad Madani, a city south-east of Khartoum.
Mr Khater’s page shows a mixture of connections based mainly in Sudan, Birmingham and Nottingham – the two cities that are now the focus of operations by counterterror police.
Investigators are searching his former flat above a row of shops in Sparkbrook, near where the first Westminster attacker Khalid Masood lived.
The area was the home of several terrorists, including UK’s first suicide bomber, its first al-Qaeda plotter, one of one of the financiers of the 9/11 attacks and several extremists who went to fight for Isis.
Police also raided another property in Birmingham and a flat in Nottingham that was said to be rented by several Sudanese men.
No arrests have so far been made in the operations and police are not believed to be hunting for any other suspects over the alleged attack.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the head of UK counterterror policing, said the suspect was not known to MI5 or counterterror police.
‘We heard screams, then car ploughed into cyclists waiting at lights’
He said his team’s current priority was to formally identify the suspect “and establish his motivation if we can – he is not currently cooperating”….
Always On Watch says
Still trying to establish the motive?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
The dhimmitude is surreal.
mortimer says
On watch, they do not know the Islamic doctrines of jihad, the near enemy, taqiyya, terrorism, or Islamic apartheid. Such APPEASING politicians as May are PROFESSIONALLY NEGLIGENT and are guilty of MALPRACTICE. THEY FAILED TO INFORM THEMSELVES.
FIRST IDENTIFY THE ENEMY: IMPERIAL ISLAM.
Always On Watch says
Mortimer,
I like the term “Imperial Islam.” It fits!
Andy says
Muslim migrant Salih Khater such a great outstanding citizen of the United Kingdom, I’m being sarcastic of course.
More like a soldier of Islam doing his duty to kill as many infidels as he can.

Jihad Watch readers / posters please enlighten me:
How is it possible that the average Jihad Watch readers / poster is more informed about Islam that entire Western-style governments that have vast and well-funded intelligence agencies ???
WorkingClassPost says
That’s the $64,000 question…
Savvy Kafir says
Because those “leaders” are very motivated to NOT learn the truth.
CogitoErgoSum says
It’s because our leaders lie to us out of fear of the ferocity that comes from Muslims when a non-Muslim speaks the truth about Muhammad and Islam. Our cowardly leaders don’t want to be called “racist” either so they pretend they don’t know the truth. To keep the peace they act like humbled dhimmis who have submitted to the religion of Submission. Peace through submission is what it’s all about. If you want to get along, you have to go along. If you want peace, you have to submit. Most JW readers/posters aren’t willing to submit and go along with that.

Joe says
I can’t speak for other countries, but inside the USA, we know that the American government cooperates and participates in jihad.
For example, the FBI was part of the gang that tried to kill Robert Spencer, the guy who wrote this article. I guess the court case is still ongoing.
In another case, the USA destroyed a large part of the Libyan army so that “Arab Spring” terrorists could seize that country.
The USA armed jihadists in Syria, but they claim it was a mistake.
I know many structural engineers, and they all agree that the planes didn’t knock down the buildings during 9/11. The buildings fell at free fall, the super-structure didn’t survive, the building fell straight down which all render the “pancaking of the floors” explanation as devoid logic, math and reason. Any one of those facts, make the plane theory worthless. That means the USA government was likely working with jihad terrorists to take those buildings down.
The FBI, CIA, and many other agencies want the American people to think that they are not supporters of jihad terrorism. But if you “judge them by their fruits”, you will reach the opposite conclusion.
StellaSaidSo says
Joe, you are right on all points, but instead of ‘USA government’ I would say ‘deep state’ or ‘shadow government’, because few actual members of elected govt were in on the plot.
gravenimage says
Oh, good Lord–it appears that Joe is a 9/11 “Truther”. *Ugh*.
Of course, that has all been debunked years ago by Popular Mechanics. But too many want to believe that 9/11 was done by the ‘filthy Infidels’.
StellaSaidSo says
What has been ‘debunked’ is the official story. Just as the official story of the Kennedy assassination has been debunked.
It is not a matter of ‘wanting to believe’ one version of events or another; it is a matter of going where the evidence leads.
KGold says
Surreal for sure. It’s only going to get worse:-(.
Bacherbazistan says
Even the Bacherbazi police would have established a motive by now, and they have an average IQ of 75 (due to generations of cousin marriages in our country). Do UK police need technical assistance from ours?
Jaladhi says
Being a Muslim is a motive enough!!
infidel numero uno says
Precisely!
mortimer says
No, Jaladhi, only 15% of Muslims are supporters of terrorism. You are speaking with knowledge of the opinion polls. Most Muslims privately oppose terrorism, but they cannot say so openly.
The general opposition of Muslims against terrorism does NOTHING to help the situation, because their opposition is PUSILLANIMOUS, WEAK and FLABBY opposition, rather than overt and vigorous.
If you do not MASTER the doctrine of AL WALAA WAL BARAA you will NEVER understand the mind of Islam.
Start reading up. Inform yourself. Spontaneous comments are like shots in the dark.
Jaladhi says
And the remaining 85% of Muslims are stealth jihadis who will carry out Quran’s diktats when required!!
I think Mort you should open up your eyes before preaching others!!
Mac-101 says
And most Germans did NOT support the mass extermination of people such as Jews and even Einsaltgrouppen forces usually couldn’t keep their murderers for 6 months before they begged to go to the Eastern Front and face certain death.
.
However the Muslim SS Troops relished the idea and thrived on murdering Serb and Jewish women and children in the cruelest ways that made their German NAZI military advisors squirm. The same thing was true with the German advisors who were present for the Turkish Armenian genocide! Hitler only got 33% of the free vote in 1933 before he manipulated events and took over the government.
.
However that did NOT stop the Allies in purposefully firebombing cities with little military strategic value to kill hundreds of thousands of German women and children,
simpleton1 says
In muslims following AL WALAA WAL BARAA, they may not support terrorism, but still intend to cause problems, as they ignore and test minor laws
There is a theme of evading small laws, causing problems for normal police enforcement and one law for all, while their brethren evade big laws until they are caught out out, like sex rings, and trafficking.
I do take the point of us being educated to put down our own culture, and laws, like no borders.
James Lincoln says
Mortimer,
I take issue with interpretation of percentages. To say that “only” 15% of Muslims are supporters of terrorism, even if true, certainly plays down the risk.
To me, 15% is a rather high percentage.
Captain says
15% of 1,000,000,000 = 150 Million a sizable number and not equally distributed!
Savvy Kafir says
Far more than 15% of Muslims want to establish Sharia in the West — undermining democracy, free speech, & other human (and animal) rights.
The problem is much bigger than violent jihad. And those Muslims who do not participate in or support violent jihad (or Sharia) are pretty much irrelevant. They do nothing meaningful to help our cause. In fact, they make us considerably LESS safe — against both violent jihad and the Demographic Jihad — by greatly adding to the confusion of the general public, and by weakening the public’s resolve to deal with the Islamic threat effectively. And, as always, the hardcore True Believers will be calling the shots, if the number of Muslims in the West gets large enough.
StellaSaidSo says
‘The problem is much bigger than violent jihad…’
Spot on, Savvy Kafir. Ultimately it is the sharia-advancing stealth jihad which is the greater threat. The likes of Keith Ellison, Iqra Khalid, and Sadiq Khan – along with the fact that we are being outbred – have far more destructive potential than the demented vehicle jihadists.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, your claim that most Muslims reject a key part of Islam–Jihad–and hence condemn the Qur’an and “Prophet”, is simply not borne out.
balam says
mortimer: You claim to be an expert on Islam and you seem to be quite knowledgeable but I wonder if you ever have lived with the Muslims in a Muslim country long enough.There is no such thing as a MODERATE OR ANTI-JIHAD MUSLIM.JIHAD is one of the main teaching of Mohammad who personally was engaged in Jihads or HOLY TERROR.Did Jesus ever teach holy TERROR? You can nether live beside or with Muslims peacefully on your terms.Islam is a domineering Ideology.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Agree with Savvy Kaffir and Stella.
A lot more than 15% support islamic supremacy. That 15% are the ones who will slay the unbelievers to achieve it. The others will just enjoy the benefits of our dhimmitude and bask in the mujahideens reflected gory.
gravenimage says
I also agree with Savvy Kaffir and Stella. In the US, over 50% of Muslims openly say they want to see Shari’ah law imposed here.
infidel numero uno says
Precisely correct!
mortimer says
MOTIVE BEHIND ISLAM TERRORISM:
1) Allah hates KAFIRS because kafirs do not worship correctly according to Sharia rules. 2) Muslims are required to hate KAFIRS too, because Allah commands them to hate the KAFIRS 3) Sharia law has a highly DEVELOPED DOCTRINE of hatred and apartheid directed from the Muslims against the KAFIRS … called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’ (adherence to Muslims and apartheid from KAFIRS). 4) Muslims consider ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’ to be an ‘ESSENTIAL’ teaching, that is, it is ‘essential’ for Islamic salvation. If a Muslim fails to BELIEVE and PRACTICE ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’, that Muslim will not enter Islamic paradise, but be sent to Islamic hell to be tormented for eternity.
All Muslims realize they should practice ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’, but through weakness, they make friendships with the dirty KAFIRS and even spend most of their time with KAFIRS in some cases. I believe they do so with a guilty conscience.
Muslims cannot truly be against TERRORISING the KAFIRS, because there are so many references to kafirs in the HADITHS, SIRA and KORAN. Muslims generally give their PASSIVE SUPPORT to the TERRORISATION of KAFIRS, because it is canonical Islam to do so. And besides, the JIHADIS will target Muslims and threaten them if they are not COMPLIANT with the terrorists.
Muslims are generally COMPLIANT WITH JIHAD TERRORISM and there is no Islamic PEACE MOVEMENT.
Halal Bacon says
DWI is the motive, Driving Whilst Islamic
mortimer says
No, he is driving while DEVOUTLY Muslim. The difference between him and ordinary Muslims is that he takes the sacred commandments to kill LITERALLY and PERSONALLY.
Most Muslims are lukewarm and actually practice less than 60% of what Islam teaches.
There is a big GAP among Muslims between what they profess to believe and the amount of the teachings they actually apply.
Nowhere is the gap more extreme than in the dress of certain Muslim teens who wear a veil on top and revealing, skin-tight clothing below the neck.
Mac-101 says
Hitler took over Germany with only 33% of the German Support, Lenin took over Russia with 5% of the Russian support against 25% strong support of the White Russians and Mao took over China with 1% of the peoples support. Its ALL a mater how much and how strongly your supporters support you!

Jack fanning says
You seem to have studied muslims based upon your comments. What would you suggest as appropriate literature for someone who wants to understand them?
somehistory says
Why not try Mr. Spencer’s new book? Or any of his older ones?
Read articles by Raymond Ibrahim, and Daniel Greenfield. They are all experts on what drives the moslim to commit murder, rape, etc.
gravenimage says
Jack, reading the Qur’an is a great place to start.
James Lincoln says
The way that I see it, please Mortimer and other JW readers let me know if I have it right!
A Muslim’s relationship to Islam at any given point in time and its effect on unbelievers.
Note: The individual Muslim’s category can change over time!
Muslim in name only: Knows little about Islam. Not particularly dangerous.
Muslim light: Starting to learn more about Islam. Not particularly dangerous – at the moment.
Muslim “mainstream”: Has become a “better” Muslim. Attends local mosque, follows the call to prayers, etc. Does not directly participate in jihad violence, however supports jihad violence and sharia law. May participate in “soft” jihad. Dangerous to the unbelievers.
Muslim violent jihadists: ISIS, etc. 100% devoted to Islam. Extremely dangerous to the unbelievers.
Mac-101 says
Good summation!

The motive: to “divide” may’s head from her body….along with the heads of tens of millions of other people, names known and unknown.
When vermin find a way to get inside a dwelling, or a box of foo, others of the mound, hill, hive, etc.. just follow the trail…sometimes in scent form. and easily get inside.
These creatures who wish to terrorize, are doing the same thing; that’s why they end up in the same part of town, with the same connections.
