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

UK: Two Muslims, one a migrant, one a convert, try to build a bomb involving a driverless car

Sep 5, 2018 10:03 am By Robert Spencer

“My only attempt is to find a way to carry out martyrdom operation with cars without driver.”

A “martyrdom operation” is a jihad strike in which the jihadi is killed along with Infidels, in hopes of attaining the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111).

“Two men accused of terror plot tried to make bomb involving driverless car, court told,” by Henry Clare, Independent, September 4, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Two men accused of jointly plotting a terror attack were attempting to manufacture an explosive device involving a driverless car, a court has heard.

Andy Star, 32, who lived and worked at the Mermaid Fish Bar on Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, and Farhad Salah were working together in a bid to make the weapon, Sheffield Crown Court was told.

On Tuesday, prosecutor Anne Whyte QC told the court how the pair were supporters of terrorist organisation Isis, and how Salah had arrived in the UK in 2014, but had not had his asylum claim determined prior to his arrest.

She said: “The prosecution allege that Farhad Salah and Andy Star had decided that improvised explosive devices could be made and used in a way here in the UK that spared their own lives preferably but harmed others they considered to be infidels.”

During her opening speech, Ms Whyte read a message, sent by 23-year-old Salah in December 2017, in which he told a contact: “My only attempt is to find a way to carry out martyrdom operation with cars without driver, everything is perfect only the programme is left.”

Describing how this was evidence Salah was “attack planning”, Ms Whyte added: “But he was not planning alone.

“Andy Star had access to the materials necessary to conduct small test runs with explosives and Star was making those devices in his flat.”

The court also heard the ideology of Salah, of Brunswick Road, Sheffield, was evident in his social media messages, with Ms Whyte telling how his communications reflected “his affiliation to Islamic State”….

    Why is this not top news in the U.K. mainstream media . Why am I not surprised that this is the case ?
    This is because the U.K. is so far down the road of Islamization that ordinary citizens watch helplessly as the formerly once Great Britain becomes at ever accelerating speed Britanistan,

    By the way at least Five infidels were murdered by this criminal. The unfortunate shop girl as well as the Mauritian family living above .the shop.

      A case is developing where in at least 51 MP’s (and plenty of other MEP’s, Journalists, Union Leaders, may be shown to support International Socialist aims, as expounded moslem brotherhood operatives globally, including at work within Britain. The list includes sitting Members and one Former PM.

      “To kill and be killed for Allah”
      Now isn’t that a condemnation of Islam?
      Why arentv the world’s governments not taking notice of this Why areen’t the “sane” world’s governments
      not looking at making Islam illegal..I can’t speak for governments that don’t have a constitution as does the U.S. BUT the U.S. constitution does allow for freedom of religion. Now the prominent religion of the time if the constitution was indicating Christianity and stable religions as such…I do not find the religions of the constitution writing time to be religions that promote the ATROCIOUS acts found in Islam.
      Therefore it seems that Islam should not have the same religious freedoms as other religions who do not promote murder, rape. slavery an on and on with ATROCITIES.

    Oh Boy !!! These two winners need to spend more time at the mosque. Don’t they know that it is a sacred duty of the faithful in Islam to try and martyr themselves and take as many Kuffar with them as possible in order to achieve the ultimate onjective of entering paradise and getting their 72 virgin reward.

    I suppose they could have been seen as innovative and progressive by other Islamists, but taking away the chance for an up and coming Jihadist to win the Islamic lottery doesn’t seem fair to me.

    The young Jihadist recruit has nothing but paradise to look forward to, and of course all those virgins, oh and the young boys also promised, and taking away their chance of that should be considered a contravention of their Sharia human rights. If I was a potential Jihadist I would take this to a Sharia court, such as the UN, and have them rule on my right to drive and explode.

    Memo to Henry Clare, Independent:

    The “others they considered to be infidels” are those Islam considers to be infidels – the filthy Kuffar.
    This was no flawed understanding. Nothing has been misunderstood, warped, twisted or perverted.
    This is orthodox Islam.
    “Kill them wherever you find them”,
    Koran 2:191, part of Islamic law.

    This is very interesting. In Christian circles, martyrdom has always traditionally involved getting ONESELF terminated or mortally wounded with incidental or no harm to anyone else – so the Christian subject of the exercise is the only one intended to suffer any kind of sacrifice. With these two charming islamic characters, the exact reverse now seems to be the case, with everyone and anyone (probably not muslim) who happens to be in the vicinity at the wrong time possibly making the supreme sacrifice for Allah, and the protagonist(s) getting off scot-free. Very interesting…….

      In Christianity Martyr is used as the noun: in islam martyr is used as the verb … that is the difference between the two ..

    These guys did not act in a vacuum. Somebody filled them with hate and tech instructions. WHO? HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE. They solicit, advise, and conspire in the commission of violent crimes.

    It is not considered a huge reach to hold the klan responsible for the unlawful violent acts of klansmen. Now apply this principle to Muslims. They are richer and more numerous than the klan or the Nazis ever were.

    Another memo to Henry Clare, Independent:

    “the ideology of Salah” is Islam, ordinary basic Islam.

    One can recall, from a certain amorous government individual’s email, that “insurance” was being generated in the unlikely case Donald Trump was elected.

    The Islam Jannah(Paradise) is similarly problematic in that there are a disputed number of “hadith indicated” degrees of status, varying from a hundred to as many verses as are in the Quran. The highest is al-Firdaws – Jannah central, located directly under Allah’s abode.

    Climbing the ladder of Jannah status involves: Jihad for the sake of Allah, spending for the sake of Allah, praying even when difficult, memorizing the Quran, and martyrdom.

    It is possible to fail at martyrdom and end up in say, Guantanamo or a UK prison and die of physical deficiencies or old age. Building “insurance” through jihad, without martyrdom, is a guarantee of good placement in Jannah should martyrdom fail and added Jannah kudos should it succeed. Expect more of it in the future.

    Obviously, jihadists are already thinking of how to repurpose self-driving cars.

    oh boy ! what will be next style of killing non-Muslims by these Muslims???

    Commit jihad with a driverless car. So how does that work? The car blows itself up then goes to Muzzie paradise and gets an eternity of free head-on crashes with fresh-off-the-assembly-line Teslas? (Or rear-end collisions with Ford pickup trucks, if that’s what it’s into?)

    Muslims, the world champions at combining murder, mayhem and absurdity.

    • Westman says

      Sep 6, 2018 at 2:18 am

      If anyone actually reads the entire Quran and still believes it then contradiction and absurdity are integral parts of his/her thinking.
