UK: 150 houses evacuated as cops foil Islamic State-inspired Christmas jihad massacre plot

Dec 12, 2018 11:53 am By Robert Spencer

‘Tis the season to be jihady, fa la la la la, la la la la. Time for the UK police to begin a new crackdown on “Islamophobic” speech online.

“‘ISIS-inspired Christmas bomb plot’ is foiled in Newcastle as man, 33, is arrested and homes put on lockdown,” by Rebecca Camber and Eleanor Hayward, Daily Mail, December 12, 2018:

Police have foiled a suspected bomb plot inspired by Islamic State in the run up to Christmas, it emerged yesterday.

More than a hundred officers swooped on a quiet cul-de-sac in Newcastle upon Tyne yesterday to arrest an alleged lone wolf plotter said to be under the spell of the terror group.

Fearing that explosives may be present, more than 150 houses were evacuated as well as a school when elite counter-terrorism officers raided an address in the Arthur’s Hill area of the city less than a mile from St James’s Park football stadium and the Eldon Square shopping centre.

Dozens of locals were taken to a community centre while searches were carried out at the suspect’s property for any explosives or weapons.

A 33-year-old man was arrested at the property on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

But hours after his arrest the cordon was taken down after no explosives were found….

Locals expressed their shock at seeing police officers in military style uniforms descending on the normally quiet street shortly after 10am.

Neighbours described the man who was living at the address as an Asian man in his 30s, but said they knew little about him….

      SECRET ASIAN MAN

      There’s a man who leads a life of danger
      To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
      With every move he makes another chance he takes
      Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow
      Secret asian man, secret asian man

      They’ve given you a number and taken away your name
      Beware of pretty faces that you find
      A pretty face can hide an evil mind
      Ah, be careful what you say
      Or you’ll give yourself away
      Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
      Secret asian man, secret asian man
      They’ve given you a number and taken away your name
      Secret asian man, secret asian man
      They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

      Stop the unjust denigration of wolves. The correct term is lone rat.

      Time to quit calling these monsters “lone wolves”and “Asians”
      They may or may not work alone but they are inspired, not just by ISIS or some other Terrorist group, but by Islam itself. Islamic teachings inspired them and that is why our so called leaders need to hitch up their britches, back their ears and start growling and grumbling about this group who is hiding behind RELIGIOUS FREEDOM and start action to condemn them and further action as needed.

        Leaders can’t, they’ve signed up to this denigration of British culture!

      Let me take a wild guess. Would he be a follower of the religion of peace?

      Not a nice thing to say, but if this attack had been successful would it shake people into action against Islam? The answer is certainly NO! We would keep on making excuses and not face the reality of the situation. Why is there such apathy? Almost never any remark from mulsims “Why do you expect us to condemn? It is nothing to do with Islam! We are a religion of peace!”
      This reminds me of a herd of buffalo. One gets caught by a lioness, and each buffalo thinks “Thank God it wasn’t me” Then carries on munching, contentedly.

    For all the boasting about cracking down on islamophobia, both online and offline, this was pretty islamophobic of UK police to have prevented this man from practicing his religion. He should sue, this case is a slam dunk.

      Quick, all UK citizens sign the petition to allow Robert Spencer into the UK, while he is there in addition to his talks he can school the UK political elite on the dangers of the islamisation of their country. Theresa May in the front Row!

        Sign, Martel, and find accusations of islamophobia being hurled at you, with the possibility of a visit by the ever -watchful ‘thought police’?

      That would have happened if he was here in Canada. Our prime minister would have even given him $10 million or so for his troubles, he’s done it before…

    If had just joined a child rape gang the police might very well have overlooked him entirely.

    Asian? Afghan, maybe? Many countries make up Asia. moslims want to ruin other people’s lives, ending the lives if they can.

    It’s kind of strange that the government won’t allow people to express their fears of islam, or their disapproval, but they expect everyone to hide in their homes when a search for a suspect is ongoing.

    • somehistory says

      Dec 12, 2018 at 7:16 pm

      Or, in this case, leave their homes just in case the molsim has explosives in his.

    Asian man. Was he perhaps Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean?
    What is this “lone wolf” rubbish? It’s never a lone wolf but many wolves plotting and maybe one executing.
    They managed to get ahead of this one, but what about if they plot more than one and only one is discovered?
    This is happening all the time, especially around Christian holidays.
    Enough, when do they start deporting as many as they can?

  8. Guy Forester says

    I think Sebastian Gorka has pretty well described the idea of the lone wolf as rubbish.

    The money and the training did not materialize out of the blue. It is unlikely that one day a neuron (of the two present) fired up a new idea. This is just another lousy excuse for the so called elites to avoid naming the state sponsors of terror, identifying the ring, and cleaning up the entire operation, from active combatant to funder, to runner, to trainer, to recruiter, etc.

  9. Mr. Maxwell S. J. Fenton says

    Lone wolf?
    There appears to be thousands of packs of these lone creatures.

    “A 33-year-old man was arrested at the property on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

    “But hours after his arrest the cordon was taken down after no explosives were found….”

    I wonder what the evidence is that they have on this guy? The article doesn’t tell us much, except that they arrested him on suspicion. It says “Police have foiled a suspected bomb plot inspired by Islamic State in the run up to Christmas, it emerged yesterday.”

    But if it’s only a *suspected* bomb plot and there were no explosives and they don’t tell us any of the evidence they were going on, *we* don’t actually know whether they foiled an actual plot or only suspected they were foiling a plot.

    I’m going to wait until I know more before I get all riled up about this.

  11. DexDecuman says

    Dec 13, 2018 at 7:39 am

    And in the UK there may be 23,000 plus jihadis, returning ISIS fighters and their families, White Helmets and the security forces cannot track all of them…..

    If The Gov, councils and police don’t do more to kerb this, one day soon they’ll be real trouble (A bit like what’s happening in France right now).
