Basu’s warning here that jihadis who have been prevented from going to Syria may mount jihad attacks at home is blazingly obvious; I’ve been pointing it out for years. The real news here is buried far down in the Independent’s report: “Counterterror police ‘priority’ investigations have increased by almost a third in 18 months and Mr Basu said the rising danger had stabilised ‘to become the new UK normal.'” In other words, get used to jihad terror, it isn’t going away.
Basu also said of jihad terrorists that “many come from a generation who feel disenfranchised – often those from isolated minority communities in the UK.” This is the standard view of the counter-terror establishment, that jihad comes from poverty and lack of opportunity, so that if we shower Muslim communities with cash, all will be well and the jihad will fade away. In reality, jihadis will see that largesse as payment of the jizya, which is their due from the Infidels, and continue to plot their jihad activity.
The top counter-terror cop in the UK should know that, but of course, reality is forbidden in the British government.
“Isis supporters ‘frustrated’ at being stopped from travelling to Syria may attack UK instead, terror police chief warns,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, October 10, 2018 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
“Frustrated” Isis supporters who are prevented from travelling to the group’s territories abroad may launch terror attacks in Britain instead, the head of national counterterror policing has warned.
Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Neil Basu said that before last year’s attacks security services believed that fighters returning from abroad presented the biggest threat.
“It wasn’t – the threat was already here – and there are still plenty of aspirant or frustrated travellers who now have nowhere to go,” he told the National Security Summit in London.
“Many come from a generation who feel disenfranchised – often those from isolated minority communities in the UK.”…
Of an estimated 900 people of ”national security concern“ who travelled from the UK to Syria, around 20 per cent have been killed and 40 per cent have returned.
The majority of those who have come back did so in the earlier stages of the conflict, and a ”significant proportion“ are assessed as no longer being of national security concern.
Those who are believed to be a threat but who cannot be prosecuted because of insufficient evidence are monitored or subjected to restrictions including Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures.
Mr Basu warned that the acceleration in Islamist radicalisation is also feeding far-right rhetoric fuelling the neo-Nazi terrorist group National Action, the Finsbury Park terror attack.
“The very nature of the threat we face means it is now more than ever before, a question of ‘when not if’,” he added. “The increase in tempo has been dramatic.”
Counterterror police “priority” investigations have increased by almost a third in 18 months and Mr Basu said the rising danger had stabilised “to become the new UK normal”.
He identified driving factors including segregated communities, unregulated education, online propaganda and encryption.
Mr Wallace said extremists of all kinds were “spreading their twisted versions of the truth to recruit the next generation of ‘unlit candles’ ready to wage war”.
He championed the government’s Prevent counter-extremism programme as a way to divert people, saying 231 people were deemed to no longer pose a threat after deradicalisation work last year….
Buraq says
‘The Independent’ – so-called – is a pulpit for Islam; and it is more than willing to print a story that exonerates Islam from blame for Islamic Jihad – called ‘terrorism’ by the purblind authorities!
By not placing the blame where it should be, these clowns – government, Press, and the fascist Left – are setting up the British public for mayhem and terror on the streets of Britain. Neglecting to identify the real reasons – Al Quran’s 109 verses commanding Muslims to commit crime against infidels, for example – leaves the way clear for Jihadists to murder at will.

What is incredulous is that the British Army has sacked one of the recruits for this but has also sacked another member of the forces for posting messages on Tommys website or Facebook page. All because the Muslim council of Britain complained. The Muslim council of Britain signed a paper saying our armed forces were legitimate targets for suicide bombers, and not long after Lee Rigby was killed, and yet the British army are appeasing them over this. Even Sajid Javid condemns the Muslim council of Britain. It’s not just the army, BBC posted a photo of Masood the Muslim who committed the Westminster bridge attack last year and killed PC Keith Palmer and the Muslim council complained about the photo and asked the BBC to change it and they did.

Paying the way out of jihad…..JIHAD…NO NOT JIHAD BUT TERRORISM…Terrorism is actually jihad…no. other way to put it and to shower monies on these groups thinking that money will stop terrorism is just plain stupid on the part of any government that attempts it. The way to fight terrorism and again I say what Muslims call jihad is nothing but terrorism…Put that money, that would be given, into anti-terrorism organizations…law enforcement…military…beef up existing and create new ones to defeat terrorist from expanding ..deport non citizens and imprison or kill those who would create terrorism on innocent citizens..don’t kowtow to them they are murderers and nothing but.
mgoldberg says
The madness of the politically correct has no real bottowm. All those other minorities who never become
Jihadists- those hindu’s, those christians, those jews, those buddhists, those who are from ‘minority’ communities don’t become Jihadists and don’t homicide and threaten to homicide as a point of religious declaration.
So tell me, Assistant Commissioner, what do you attribute that too. Perhaps, they have no religious doctrine of Jihad, nor theology that condones and teaches the endless articles of submission to muslims.
jayell says
These muslims are no more ‘disenfranchised’ than anyone else in the UK. In fact, given the amount of electoral fraud that’s been suspected or recorded (involving guess who!), they have probably ‘enfranchsied’ themselves rather more than is their right. What they probably mean is they feel (rightly) that they are not controlling the place, and they don’t apparently seem to appreciate that they don’t have the right to do so. No doubt they’ll see to that sooner or later – but hopefully never.
PABLO says
I guess the Hindus are immune from feeling disenfranchised.
gravenimage says
Yes–in fact, this seems to be Basu’s background. Why doesn’t he feel disenfranchised? Why isn’t he out waging Jihad?
Phobic-ist says
Hey Basu, why don’t you read the disgusting Quran and get an education on what Islam is really about, you moron!
Terry Gain says
More whining by Muslims. They are always the victims even when engaging in terrorism. The truth is that Muslims engage in terrorism because the Koran commands it.
The British are brain dead. No wonder they tolerated the rapes of many thousands of British girls by Muslim men. They didn’t even have the courage to refer to the rapists as Pakistani Muslims, instead dishonestly referring to them as Asians
Michael Copeland says
It is the politicians and the media, particularly the tainted BBC, who use the cover term “Asians”, not the British public.
Terry Gain says
The politicians were elected by the public.
Kimir says
We may elect the politicians but they say they will tackle extremism etc but once elected do nothing. Those of us who can see what is happening are at the end of our tethers, there is no one who represents us. We have Tommy Robinson, Ann Marie waters and Gerard batten, and Katie Hopkins, but are called racist, islamophobic etc by the media, government and lefties. The hate these people receive is shocking. Lord Pearson stood up in the House of Lords and said we need to talk about Islam but was threatened of being reported for hate speech by Baroness Warsi. We have Naz Shah labour MP for Bradford the shadow minister for women and equalities liking and retweeting that the abused girls of Rotherham should shut their mouths for the sake of diversity. The previous shadow minister was Sarah champion who spoke up about the grooming gangs, MP for Rotherham, finally after ignoring it for years, but was sacked as labour MP and shadow minister for bringing it up and Naz shah, MP for Bradford, high Muslim constituency, promoted in her place. Our only hope is Ann Marie waters or Gerard batten, who is facing opposition on his stance against Islam amongst party members. Our first past the post voting structure ensures either Tories or labour win.
Mike says
Well in truth the British public are feeling pretty f*cking disenfranchised right about now. The reason we won’t turn to terrorism is that we are not savages. Some cultures are simple better than others.
Terry Gain says
No one is suggesting you resort to terrorism. Public strikes and massive public rallies are not terrorism. And not one Muslim should be attacked.
If you don’t elect UKIP you are headed for civil war or submission to Islam. My. Money is on the latter.

In private, UK police forces KNOW FULL WELL that the REAL THREATS are coming from JIHAD, but IN PUBLIC they must say that the REAL PROBLEM is RIGHT-WING TERRORISTS.
“Right-wing” or “Far-right” is a code term for COUNTERJIHADISTS.
Anyone who opposes JIHAD TERRORISM VERBALLY must be slandered, even though the police are UNDERSTAFFED to deal with all the THOUSANDS of JIHAD TERRORISTS living in UK.
IT’S THE THEATRE OF THE ABSURD for the UK POLICE!

So now this time is “Muslims turn the the violence of the jihad because “The feel disenfranchised.” Other time Muslims have turned to violent jihad because ” they feel offended…” Offend by what ? What cause them to feel so very the offended that they act out on the violence and killing . The answer in they[feel ] are terribly offended by almost everything.. The are feel offend by restaurants that have pork on the menu . The feel offend by restaurants the have shell fish on the menu.They feel offended by Western government for not having Sharia law..They feel offended when they see Western women dressed in modern clothing. .Likewise, they feel offended when they turn on a television in a Western nation and view a non-Islamic show. . So instead of turning off the Television and maybe even sending g a E-mail complaint the program manger about it . They feel so offend that they act out in jihad violence
.Other times a Muslim father murders his very own daughter because she has a non-Muslim boyfriend or she obtains a job at a store asking him first. Other times Muslim males throw acid into the faces of young girls because are feel offended because they don’t have a face-cover on Some Muslim males throw acid into the faces of a young girl because they feel offend because she to to pretty . Some in a Western country and Muslim male ask an Western girl out on a date and because she answer s “no” The Muslim male feels so very offended that he murders her just for say “no” to him.
So many Muslim feel offended by almost everything and engage in Islamic violence. . As is the old saying which is that “evil is always looking for an excuse.”

UK terror cop: High level terror threat is “new normal,” Muslims turn to jihad because they “feel disenfranchised”
………………………
Why wasn’t this the “new normal” a couple of decades ago? Because there were not so many ravening Muslims in Britain.
Aren’t there any non-Muslim immigrants in Britain who feel disenfranchised? This leads to two more questions–if there are, why aren’t they also waging violent Jihad? And if there aren’t, why have they all been able to integrate while Muslims have not?
Of course, no one will ask such questions.
As for Syria and other Jihad hot-spots, let them go. Just don’t let them come back.

The United States has its Churchill. It’s very sad that Britain doesn’t.
Wellington says
Succinct, Terry Gain. My compliments.
And just imagine if Britain did have another Churchill in our times, the very Churchill who when told by a fashionable London hostess whose home he was visiting for dinner said to him, “Winnie, if you were my husband that soup you’re having would be poison.” To which comment the Great Man replied, “Madam, if I were your husband I’d drink it.”
Yes, Churchill was a tremendous CONSERVATIVE insulter of silly people. So is Trump. But in the Age of Nonsense in which we live only leftists can be insulting with no consequences per Leftthink and the MSM. Which is why, come November 6th, I dearly hope all the lefties in America get a colossal surprise, assuming there is a red wave that day. I will do my insignificant bit that day as will my wife who is so fed up with those in the entertainment profession, which is her profession, who remain in dumbed-down left mode and just assume every other entertainer thinks like them.
gravenimage says
Terry and Wellington–with the greatest respect to you both–I don’t think that Trump is a Churchill, or anything close to it. There is a great deal he doesn’t know about Islam, and he is pretty scattershot in his defending against Jihad.
That being said, he is *far* superior to his opponent, and to many leaders in the West today. For that, I am extremely grateful.

I agree that no one, gravenimage, equals Churchill over the past century, but Trump certainly has Churchillian-like qualities, among them being getting the job done and a capacity for a withering rhetorical evisceration of his opponents, both domestic and foreign.

Thanks for the replies, Andy and Wellington. Agreed.
Peggy says
Churchill had a different environment to work in. Almost everyone was against the Nazis and he didn’t risk being called a racist for opposing them.
Trump on the other hand is being sabotaged at every turn. His help in fixing problems have huge obstacles like in the case of Kavanagh.
Other world leaders are against him and traitors at home hiding behind every rock.
Trump has to be a lot more careful about what he says and how he goes about his tasks.
WW2 was no picnic but at least we knew the enemy.
The world is a much more dangerous place now.

peter gregory says
Peggy. Yes. If Churchill were a politician in the present day he would be torn to shreds by the MSM.

……………………….
Dear Peggy, this was only true later. Early on when Churchill warned about the Fascist threat he was called “hysterical” and even a “warmonger”. Even after the beginning of active hostilities, many in Britain favored appeasement–first, because they underestimated the threat of the Nazis; later, because Hitler was thought to be unbeatable. Moreover, the man who almost became king was an active supporter of the Nazis.
It was a long, hard struggle for Churchill and his allies. Not so different, in many ways, from what we face now.
WPM says
The Islamic Nazis feel left out ,send then a truck load of protection money or the will riot .The libtards reward bad behavior all the time for the votes of the new welfare kings and Queens the” Islamic overlords”.

Adding: “We absolutely have to get that Muslim majority living in many of our towns and cities on our side, more attuned to Western values than some pretty hardline interpretations of the Qur’an.”

If they are feeling “disenfranchised in England why have they left their national community. If you want family don’t leave them.

If any community is isolated, it is by choice. They are not isolated from funding and preaching coming out of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan etc. They are not isolated from international terror movements. They can hardly be called disenfranchised when most politicians crawl on their bellies to please them.
