If Mohiussunnath Chowdhury had been a “right-wing extremist” who attacked police officers with a knife, do you think he would have been found not guilty, or that the jury would have bought this story of attempted suicide by cop? This man sketched scenes of bloody jihad and had an Islamic State flag as his profile picture on WhatsApp. And he was found not guilty. The jury accepted that he was displaying an ISIS flag as a joke. Britain may not be finished (although there is considerable reason to suspect it is), but it is certainly insane.
“ISIS supporter who attacked police with sword outside Buckingham Palace while yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ is found NOT GUILTY of terror plot after telling court he didn’t intend to harm anyone,” by Terri-Ann Williams and Sebastian Murphy-Bates, Mailonline, December 19, 2018 (thanks to Mick):
A man who attacked police with a sword outside Buckingham Palace while repeatedly screaming Allahu Akbar has been found not guilty of preparing acts of terrorism.
Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 27, told jurors his claims to support ISIS were ‘in jest’ and his attack was because he was ‘depressed’ and ‘wanted police to kill him’.
They unanimously acquitted the Uber driver, who lashed out at three officers on August 25 last year.
One of the officers said he had ‘fought for his life’ in the terrifying incident but a jury had failed to reach a verdict in June this year.
After that trial collapsed, Chowdhury was held at Belmarsh Prison – where he passed the time sketching pictures of an Islamist terrorist gunning down a man outside Number 10.
His latest trial was shown the drawing – in which the attacker is depicted shouting Allahu Akbar as blood sprays on the front door – along with a sketch of a plane hitting the Twin Towers in New York.
Prosecutors at this trial said Chowdhury had chosen ‘self-radicalisation’ and had scoured the internet for articles linked to Jihadi John and ISIS beheadings.
Today Chowdhury, of Luton, Bedfordshire, bit his lip, raised his eyebrows and then saluted the jurors after they spent 11 hours and 36 minutes considering the verdict.
During the trial at the Old Bailey Chowdhury claimed he was depressed and wanted police to kill him.
He had repeatedly shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is greatest) while wrestling for control of a four-foot blade at Constitution Hill in central London.
Chowdhury had driven his blue Toyota Prius at a marked police van before officers sprayed him with CS gas when they saw him sat in his car with the deadly weapon.
He had set off from his home with the sword and a blade sharpener before swerving in front of the police van at about 8.30pm.
Chowdhury said he had been feeling lonely and depressed and only wanted to get himself killed by brandishing the blade to police officers.
He said he had ‘so many chances’ to get out of his car and kill the officers but chose not to.
Chowdhury claimed he felt guilty about being a UK citizen since Muslims in Yemen were being killed by British weapons supplied to Saudi Arabia.
In a WhatsApp group chat Chowdhury was asked if his profile picture was an ISIS flag, and he responded: ‘It is an ISIS flag. I support ISIS,’ followed by a laughing emoji. He later told jurors it was all ‘in jest’….

The inmates are controlling the asylum! Sigh!!
mtman2 says
Yeah but the inmates are the pathetic people in British government for allowing all of it to start with + escalating the predatory parasitism on their people there.

If/when full Brexit is complete they should ship all the Muzzies to the mainland= at gunpoint….”here’s you sign” Globalist EU and “happy trails to ya’ll”.

I think all you Brits are being sold out by your OWO leaders…you need tovsstart hanging them from the streetlamps and take your country back before it’s too late.
gravenimage says
Britons can just vote in some better leaders.
The idea that we have to throw out our values for Muslims is mistaken.
J D S says
I’d lay this travesty right st the fleet of the mindset of the BRITISH CITIZENRY and especially this jury…..This seems to be what has happened to the Brits thinking about terrorist and
yes this man should be considered a terrorist and to the statements that he just wanted the cops to kill him is stupid……I hope the juniors don’t have to live with
what could happen if he is free on the streets.
Margaret Downing says
Totally agree , are the public allowed to know who sat on this So called Jury ?,
Gnger says
No, Margaret, not in the UK. One can guess that a fair proportion were ethnics (it being London) – and young people, who are reluctant to convict anyone (I’ve sat on a jury).. However, much depends on the judge’s summing up before a jury retires.
Sobieski says
GNGER,
Were there any other charges such as assault?
Sobieski says
It’s all very strange. A couple of questions
— If he “attacked” police with a sword, then why was he not charged with assault? (Instead of only “preparing for acts of terrorism”, which sounds harder to prove than assault). Assault is easy to prove, and it sounds like he pretty much confessed to it.
— If he was charged with assault, then why not find him guilty?! Are they certifiably insane?! All they need to prove is that he knowingly attacked police, putting them on fear of being battered. He confessed an intention to commit suicide by cop! To do that, he would need to put police in fear of battery!
J A M says
He needs to go to Rampton for the Mentally Insane.
John C Massam says
Yes, he did want the police to kill him, so that he could go straight to The Garden, with the 72 houris, and the imaginary wine that does not intoxicate, with rivers nearby. Religious mania is common with the followers of the Koran and the Hadiths.
Jayell says
“The inmates are controlling the asylum!”
Absolutely! This would go down for a good laugh in a ‘Monty Python’ or ‘Carry On’ film script. I get the impression that’s where Theresa May & Co .get their ideas for governing the UK, because the place is turning into one big joke. One big BAD joke.
DHazard says
I think the jury got stupid and mentally ill confused.
Brendan Cleary says
There’s a good chance, depending on the area the jury came from, that it was mostly, possibly totally, Muslim. They will not convict their own, let alone give them up!
somehistory says
If at first you don’t deceive, lie and lie again.
How could the jury be so stupid? Or, was it populated with moslims? Were the jurors threatened?
Attempted murder with three police eye witnesses and his art work and the juror says not guilty. Totally insane and awful…what will happen going forward when this case was so clear cut?
Dan Hamilton says
The jury was afraid they would be arrested for Islamphobia if they found him guilty.
Neil Ross says
I never understand why police risk their lives trying to disarm this sort of sword wielding fanatic. And I hope, as a result of this acquittal the default reaction is to shoot to kill. It is absolutely heartbreaking that this guy will be free to acquire more knives and go walkabouts in London. Next time I hope the police shoot first and ask questions later.
Savvy Kafir says
Most police officers in Britain don’t carry guns. And most Brits still seem to like it that way. It makes them feel very civilized, I guess.
But now that they’ve flooded their society with savage, violence-prone Allah junkies, that approach simply means that the least civilized people in the UK will have the upper hand, and the blood of civilized Brits will be spilled more & more frequently.
As the Muslim-on-infidel violence ramps up, it will be interesting to see if the British will begin arming their police officers, or if they will stick to their guns (so to speak) and continue to pretend that public respect for the law is all the protection their bobbies need, thank you very much.
jayell says
There’s serious talk of arming the police in London. But then, London isn’t really what you’d call ‘British’ anymore.
CogitoErgoSum says
So he remembered to take his blade sharpener with him. Yes, it’s best to have your sword nice and sharp if you don’t want to kill anybody. I guess that is what made the joke so funny to the jurors. The British have a unique sense of humor. I wonder if the officer who fought for his life had a good laugh when the verdict was announced.

UK: Muslim who attacked cops with sword while screaming “Allahu akbar” found not guilty, didn’t mean to hurt anyone
……………………….
Utter madness. And this is not some dhimmi judge; he was found not guilty by a jury.
Geoffrey Britain says
no, he was found not guilty by a dhimmi jury…
gravenimage says
I meant he was not found not guilty by a single dhimmi judge, but by an entire panel of ordinary jurors. I don’t think my point was unclear.
Nauticos says
Are you suggesting that ALL potential jurors in Britain are dhimmis now? You may well, be right…
gravenimage says
I don’t think that things are that far gone yet in Britain, Nauticos–not yet. And I don’t know if these jurors were dhimmis, or if they get terrible instructions from the judge.
boakai ngombu says
‘wanted police to kill him’… only wanted to get himself killed by brandishing the blade to police officers….Prosecutors at this trial said Chowdhury had chosen ‘self-radicalisation’ and had scoured the internet for articles linked to Jihadi John and ISIS beheadings.
he wanted to be martyred; he loved death
pure islam, i.e. jihad preparation

Sharia law. Muslims get less punishment than non-Muslim criminals.

If he was a non-Moslem hanging a piece of ham on the doorknob of the local Mosque he would do at least 4 months in lock up. Bring a four foot sword to a fight with Police officers in the heart of London near government leader,s homes ,on your way with a doctors appt. and a bottle of anti-depression medication .He said he was only joking nobody in the west understands Islamic humor .I wonder will he go back to being a Uber driver ,that job gives him a lot of time to check out fresh targets to show off his Islamic humor.

Don’t need to go that far, look at what happened to Tommy Robinson for reading the BBC news to a live feed.

So if we ALL shout “Alluah Akbar” as we attack UK police with sharpened weapons and state, “it was in just in jest”, can we then get away with attempted murder???
I am in despair with our blinkered response to this progressive and blatant threat to UK national security and our happily integrated cultures within.
Fred Middleton says
I can only assume that the jury in this case were mostly Muslim. Anyone else attacking police with a big blade gets serious time or detained as mentally unfit.
Donovan Nuera says
This happened within sight of the Queen’s palace; too bad she and her wimpy, emasculated and pampered family have never said a single word of concern while their Realm has circled the drain since 1953 and tolerates large segments of “subjects” holding up protest signs stating that they want to behead the Royals (with Marxists’ overt help). Did not HRH Liz take a Soldier’s Oath in 1940 to defend England? Can she make a “Queen’s Speech” saying something about this?? Heck, can Prince Phillip give one last in-PC tirade before he dies???

The poor fellow who put bacon on a mosque door didn’t mean to hurt anyone either.. Sentenced to 12 months and was murdered in prison…

Jan says
The leftist authoriities keep appeasing islam in order to realize the United States of Europe and the NWO. Mass immigration and Islam are used as pawns to destroy the Nation State and its culture and identity. Islamic perpetrators are let off with a slap on the wrist as they are helping the left with their delusional ideology. But if there are no serious consequences for heinous crimes what message will this send to would be jihadists . They will eventually take over like they have done for the past 1400 years.
KJW says
Are there any politicians or anybody outraged by this? What kind of jury thinks it’s ok to attack police and not be punished for it? England has become a dhimmi joke. They don’t apply their laws evenly, they let girls get raped for years, and an insane jury say oh it’s ok you were depressed, no need for punishment for attacking police.
I can’t take England seriously anymore. I watched a video of some Muslims beating up a traffic guard (directing traffic) and they were kicking him in the head as he was on the ground. I wonder what happened with that. That Annan Choudry guy had led a march in Luton where they blasted British police, so a bunch of Muslims in Britain don’t respect the police nor traffic guards, apparently, nor British society.
So, the Islamists are humiliating England…The unelected EU and European Commission, and the European Council already have let themselves be humiliated. They must think they can control things, but they opened a Pandora’s Box and have dragged everyone else into the cesspit. Rotten people who would probably sell out their mothers for their goals.

Outrageous.

This is outside of any sane culture to allow something like this. What has happened to GB? GB helped to defeat Hitler and Communism. I saw this observation in an earlier post. I pray that maybe, just maybe, if there is a Brexit, GB may be able to pull itself back together. The EU has been so badly mismanaged that it is crushing fantastic countries and cultures in its’ march. Get it together GB.
Why is GB afraid to defend itself against jihad and sharia?
Dave says
The dhimmis in charge are in total submission and subservience, to their muslim masters. This case proves it.
Perhaps the judge would like to reprimand the police for wasting the court’s time? Not enough evidence! Case poorly presented! Perhaps they should look at the fine example of Tommy Robinson’s recent case. No evidence: tried and jailed within five hours. Three months in Solitary. Released and case quashed!
Observer says
One woman in the public gallery in Court screamed, “This should never have happened!” Her voice a glimmer of light in a darkened world (…if her outburst meant what I am assuming it meant: …that the judgement was gravely skewed – or that the attack should never have happened). She was of course screaming into the wind but I understand her outburst in Court.
How are British citizens who feel the pain and frustration of what they are being subjected to, to contain their feelings ? Anger is a natural response to feeling disempowered.
Still… I suppose it is something that the folk feeling this frustration and anger still have their heads on their shoulders. Things could be worse… (…the rationalisation that doesn’t comfort.)
It pains and deeply disturbs me to see the level of subjugation in Western countries now.
These attacks are a growing scourge.
A rapidly spreading cancer.
Before which even those in the British justice system find themselves “subjugated”.
Can they not see this ?
Are they truly not aware ?
Would it not make more sense, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, to rather submit to sharia law ?
I am relieved not to be a member of the police services in Britain. I would be VERY demoralised…
ManchesterLad says
As a UK citizen it is very dispiriting. It is not easy to fight it though, the left have created a web of dishonesty where anyone speaking the truth will be ‘shut down’.
This is a very serious threat. Should I be fighting against it? I probably should, but it’s not that easy.
If I speak out by discussing the truth around the Islamic threat to our culture, my job would be gone within weeks. I’d then be left with no income and it would be hard to find another job.
My friends would largely desert me. I could quite easily be arrested and charged with some sort of ‘hate’ or ‘racist’ crime. A guilty verdict for one of these politburo-style charges is almost guaranteed – any jury would be at least 50% lefties eager to virtue signal their moral superiority over a neo-nazi like me [joke!], and their own total submission to Islam.
My neighbourhood is at least 25% Muslim. If my opposition to Islamification became generally known I would quite reasonably worry about my safety and damage to my property – but more importantly I’d worry about the safety of my daughter.
So my opposition to Islam is largely a private matter, limited to occasional arguments wth lefty friends – who are never persuadable as they have been brainwashed and are quite content with that, thanks very much. If there was a party to vote for to express my opinions then I would vote for them. But of course, the left shut them down before they become any sort of realistic threat.
The enemy is not Islam, it is the leftists among us.
Carol Campling says
You’re absolutely right, and so many of us in this country are in the exact same position. Most people want to live in the peace that our ancestors fought and died for, but we have no support from any political party, the judiciary, or the police. We’re expected to work for low wages, and pay much of our income to support those who are determined to destroy our country, our way of life and indeed the indigenous population of this country. Surely the traitors to this country must be aware that they will be the first in the line for slaughter, as traitors always are – after all, if they’ll betray their own people how can they ever be trusted?

This is utter B.S in terms of the verdict!!!!!!!
I had a platonic Dutch female friend of mine, come over and stay in London, back in 2015. We had a dinner in a pleasant restaurant and the I drove her around London, at night, via all the sights to see. Upon stopping outside the Palace for a mere twenty to thirty seconds – for her to get a photo – we had armed Police, walking towards my car. This, I drove away.
Gila says
If the details of this report are correct, then this decision is clearly ridiculous – and also very sad. Were there Muslims on the jury? Whatever happened to commonsense?
Cliff Taylor says
This week white nationalists in the UK were jailed for 6 years. The crime? Naming their baby Adolf and having offensive weapons (no guns) and materials in their home, never threatening anyone. Others were jailed for belonging to a proscribed banned (supposed) neo-nazi group called National Action.
Easy to see who runs the UK. Give your opinion and name that group, you will find yourself in prison. It’s safe to say the UK is descending into a Marxist COMMUNIST dictatorship.

Dear ManchesterLad,
I understand your difficulties.
I don’t want to criticise anyone who struggles with knowing how to cope or deal with the reality we find ourselves in.
It’s too darned easy to criticise others.
The reason I like this website is because I know I’m interacting with the converted… those who are aware of the situation the West finds itself in.
I experience very similar difficulties to yours where I live and I am selective with regard to whom I interact. I find I have to have my ducks in a row i.r.o the underlying reason for the mayhem we face now. That is, the violence contained in islamic teachings.
I know I have to be careful when speaking to others and that I stand to be misunderstood or found lacking. I have experienced this but if I can get just one other person to THINK a tad, it is rewarding. Needless to say it doesn’t happen easily or often.
I value your honesty about your feelings surrounding this whole sordid issue.
I don’t judge you.
I am PROFOUNDLY THANKFUL FOR PEOPLE LIKE ROBERT SPENCER AND A SELECT FEW BESIDE HIM WHO HAVE COURAGE ENOUGH TO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE IN SPEAKING TRUTH TO WESTERN GOVERNMENTS AND WESTERNERS IN GENERAL.
As Robert so often says they’re not likely to awaken anytime soon… and by the time they DO arrive at awareness, it will in all probabity be too late to effect meaningful change.
It is a profoundly disturbing thing to come face to face with evil and to have to learn how to deal with it.
Have courage Manchester Lad.
Those of us who follow Robert’s website share one another’s concerns… Which is some sort of small but meaningful mercy I find…
Have courage !

Based on this I would assume that a person that robs a bank and kills someone while doing it can always say he only intended to rob the bank and not to kill anyone. Therefore it is not his fault and should be found innocent of murder.

If this Muslim feels guilty for living in infidel England, why doesn’t he go & live in a Muslim country?

If this lunatic muslim had killed a policeman, but gave the same excuses, what then?
I wonder what his next scheme will be? Will he be added to the 23,000 other muslims on the police watch list? This must be taking up a lot of police time. Why do we have to put up with this nonsense?
gravenimage says
Good question.
Harry Robinson says
Based on the article, I kind of agree with the jury. He had the opportunity to attempt to hurt the cops but didn’t do it. A person must either initiate or threaten force. The question is, did he threaten to use force. According to the article, he never initiated force. So the key is, did he threaten force and the jury obviously never thought he did. If the cops would have thought he ever posed a threat to them, they would have been able to shoot to kill.
It’s amazing he wasn’t shot. The cops here in America are much more fascist and he would have surely been killed by them. They’re killing people here just for resisting arrest when they didn’t do anything to warrant an arrest.
Sobieski says
You have no idea what fascist means, from your use of the term. You’ve been reading too much Ferguson fiction. Look at the data produced by the FBI. U.S. officers show restraint, and they don’t break down your door because of mean Facebook posts.

Everyone should research the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. There, and only there, will you find the genesis of every single bit of PC nonsense in the world today. These people need to be outed and incarcerated, for they are the descendents of these vile creatures that escaped from Hitler’s Germany in the 40s. They infested and occupied the halls of academia in the United States, and began their vile mission to eviscerate the West in preparation for their “Marxist utopia”.
Leif says
London now has a muslim mayor like a lot of cities now in the UK. Over 800 Christian UK churches have been converted to muslim mosques. Some Christian friends of mine who live in the UK flew here to the US last summer. The lady who visited us usually wears a cross. She took it off while in London going to the airport because she said she’d be attacked for wearing it. The UK is now a muslim country with France, Germany, and all of Scandinavia right behind especially Sweden. Funny how the muslims flee muslim countries only to transplant their culture they fled from. How can any woman embrace Islam? Where’s NOW in America?
