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

Jihadi son of imprisoned jihadi imam wants to return to UK, despite having been stripped of citizenship

Feb 23, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Hoda Muthana, Shamima Begum; Safiya Zaynab, Shabina Aslam, and Alireza Sabar; Mohammed Ali; and now Sufyan Mustafa. The establishment media is now embarked upon an all-out campaign to compel Western countries to accept returning Islamic State jihadis. This is just more evidence of how insidious the establishment media really is.

“Abu Hamza’s jihadi son begs to be let back into Britain after fighting in Syria despite being stripped of his British citizenship like ISIS bride Shamima Begum,” by Miranda Aldersley, Mailonline, February 22, 2019:

A son of militant Islamic preacher Abu Hamza who traveled to Syria in 2013 wants to return home and is appealing the decision to revoke his British citizenship.

Sufyan Mustafa, the seventh of Hamza’s nine children, left his family’s West London home to fight in Syria when he was 19.

Although he said he was allied with rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad’s regime, Britain later revoked his citizenship over suspected terrorism links.

Now aged 24, the former computer sciences student reportedly attempted to return home at the end of last year, but was prevented from boarding a flight to Britain from Turkey when his named [sic] appeared on a terror watch list. …

Mustafa, however, had Moroccan nationality through his mother, Najat – the second wife of Abu Hamza.

Hamza, 60, is a former imam of the Finsbury Park mosque whose radical views brought him to the attention of the authorities and saw him expelled from Britain six years ago after a long legal battle.

Hamza was found guilty of terror offences in both the UK and US, where he is serving a life sentence at a high-security prison.

A friend of his 24-year-old son said that Mustafa has been held in detention as niether Turkey nor Britain want to take him in, the Sun reported.

‘But Sufyan does not wish to go to Morocco and is desperate to return here,’ the friend added.

In 2017 Mustafa told reporters: ‘I am in Syria fighting a barbaric regime that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people just to stay in power. I’m not a terrorist.

‘If they label me as that with no proof then the British Government is doing the same as the Syrian government did to many Syrians.

‘Abu Hamza is my father and he had his own opinions and I have my own opinions. I don’t compare my opinions to his or to anyone elses, because it doesn’t concern me.

‘Revoking my citizenship just because I am related to Abu Hamza is not allowed and will never enter the world of fair trial.’

    These jihadists committed atrocities and crimes against humanity: torture, cruel punishments, slaughter, rape, enslavement, extortion and many other crimes.

    These criminals should be spending the rest of their lives in jail and deserve nothing from UK since they burned their passports and took on the ‘citizenship’ of ISIS with its unrecognized passport.

    THIS IS NOT A GAME! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THIS IS A WAR!

    DO NOT INVITE THE WARRIORS TO LIVE WITHIN THE GATE.

    The same UK newspapers would HOUL if a former Nazi prison guard were to apply to enter Britain.

    These jihadists are just as amoral as the Nazis.

    Now what do you suppose makes the “pagan” UK such a better place that a jihadist would beg to return instead of living in glorious Morocco where there are so many fellow Muslims? Certainly, Islamic countries, populated by the best of peoples and developed through Islam’s fruits, must be the preferred destination for a joyous life.

    Well said Westman. Probably because, as everyone knows, “The West is the Best,” (West Man).

      I think you will find that the call to welfare is louder than the call to prayer.

    This is what multiculturalism, the obsession with “diversity” and pandering to minorities has done for Britain. The wife and multiple children of Abu Hamza were given a £1 million house rent free, and as none worked, benefits of £33k a year.

    As for the rest of this non-integrating, alien family, apart from the jailed father, several of Hamza’s sons have also become criminals. Mustafa Kamel, 32, and stepson Mohssin Ghailam, 33, were jailed in Yemen in 1999 for their involvement in a bomb plot. On their return to the UK they were again jailed for a car crime scam in 2009.

    Hamza Kamel, 27, was jailed for two and a half years for handling stolen goods while Imran Mostafa, 22, was jailed for 11 years for an armed robbery. Yasser Kamel was jailed for violent disorder at an anti-Israel demonstration.

    What on Earth can these people possibly be contributing to British society? Why were they ever allowed to enter and settle in the first place?

      Abu Hamza’s son Imran Mostafa Kamel, 26, is the suspect held in connection with the murder of a doorman outside an alleged sex party in Mayfair on New Year’s Eve.

    If they label me as that with no proof then the British Government is doing the same as the Syrian government did to many Syrians.

    If they did that, then why does he want to come to Britain. Maybe to wage war on Britain from within.

    They all CHOSE to leave civilized lands to go forth and deliberately, intentionally (mens-rea) commit MURDER – and against fellow muslims, even!

    As self-determined murderous criminals, there is no way any of them should now be let back into civilized lands which obey the rule of law – because rights (to citizenship) can only come with corollary, concomitant responsibilities – by accepting the duty to obey that very same, Golden Rule of Law which most simply defines all morality as Do Not Attack First – a law which, by their own chosen actions, they have obviously breached, reneged on, and abdicated their responsibility to uphold by joining the very most attack-first-prone gang of criminals on the planet today.

    And, as far as their “ISIS Brides” go – it doesn’t matter if they were, as devalued women, “merely” aiding, abetting, and enabling the main criminals, as willing accessories to their crimes, by offering them support services, either.

    When you were advancing on all fronts, you boasted of the new caliphate. Now that you are captured, you claim that you want to return to a country you hate. Screw you.
