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

UK: Muslim migrant parents sending their sons to Somalia to avoid knife crime in Sadiq Khan’s London

Mar 14, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Somalia has suffered a spate of jihad terror attacks, but these parents still think it is safer for their children than London. Sadiq Khan’s London has become a hotbed of crime. Jihad preachers speak and recruit freely. An Islamic State jihadist “tried to create jihadist child army in east London.”

The irony. Somalia is a troubled country, the home of the jihad terror group al Shabaab. This importation of Muslim migrants from countries plagued with jihad warfare is turning Western cities into mirror images of these countries. Why would Western leaders have thought that there would be any other result? It isn’t just London: Sweden has also now become so violent that migrants are considering moving back to their own war-zone homelands.

Drug trafficking to finance jihad activity is common: according to an official with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, the “magnitude of the numbers involved make the relationship worrisome.” The Islamic State-linked group Jund al-Khilafa in North Africa profits from the drug trade, and the “London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that ISIS has been profiting from the trafficking of cannabis, moving it from Iraq through Syria and Turkey into Europe.”

Furthermore:

ISIS militants are not just in the business of profiting from drugs, but appear to be taking them, too. Many reports have suggested that terrorists are widely using captagon, nicknamed “jihad pills,” an amphetamine that suppresses feelings of pain, induces euphoria and allow fighters to remain awake for lengthy battles.

The Western values of free speech, pluralism, and equality of rights of genders, creeds and races continue to be eroded due to the importation of Islamic supremacists from trouble spots, and the fact that any discussion of this fact renders one “Islamophobic.”

“Mothers send sons to Somalia to avoid knife crime,” by Mark Townsend, Guardian, March 9, 2019:

British teenagers are being sent by their parents to Somalia, itself recovering from a series of terror attacks, because of concern that the police cannot protect them from knife crime.

Representatives from north London’s Somali community say hundreds of children have been flown to Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya because of rising concerns over drug gangs and county lines, the criminal networks that use children to transport drugs from cities to the provinces.

In a series of interviews, Somali mothers who arrived in London after fleeing their country during its 1990s civil war told the Observer that many of their sons had asked to leave the UK because of drug gangs and the threat of violence.

Rakhia Ismail, Islington deputy mayor, said: “Sending them away has become the only way they can be safer. This issue of safety has been repeatedly raised by the community but nobody has listened. So many children have gone abroad. Two weeks ago, there was a stabbing and a child was taken back home two days later.”

The revelations follow a week of heated debate over the causes of and potential solutions to Britain’s knife crime epidemic. Seventeen people have died after attacks in London alone since the start of 2019. On Saturday, there were reports that three people were in hospital after an attack at a nightclub in Birmingham, a city reeling from three knife fatalities within days last month. And a 15-year-old boy was charged with murder after the stabbing of 17-year-old Ayub Hassan, in west London, on Thursday afternoon….

Sadia Ali, treasurer of Islington Somalia Forum and founder of Minority Matters, said: “Hundreds of youngsters have been taken to Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya, some taken all the way to the rural areas. Parents feel they have no choice if they want their son to be safe.”…

Recently, Somalia has suffered a number of terror attacks. A car bomb in the capital, Mogadishu, killed seven people and wounded several others on Thursday, following. It followed another the week before which killed 29 people….

    Note that they say “a child was taken back home…” These supposed asylum seekers from Somalia are happy to return to Somalia. As I’ve commented previously on articles, we used to live very near a large community of Somalis in Hammersmith West London, and they flew back every summer for several weeks for a holiday to Somalia. It makes a total mockery of the pretence under which they enter the UK in the first place. Do we think that the German Jews who might have sought asylum in the UK or USA during Hitler’s rule would have gone back every year on holiday?! No – because they were genuinely fleeing for their lives.

    The Somalis and others have brought this problem with them to the UK. I can’t say how disgusted and furious I am that my country has been brought down to this level by bleeding hearts, stupid Liberal and Socialist politicians and people. Many of the people pushing the hardest for “migrants” seem to be women. As a woman myself I am starting to wonder whether women should not have been allowed to vote or enter politics. So many women seem to just fall for a sob story. Other commenters – please correct me if I’m wrong as I would actually like to be wrong about this female issue.

      How right you are. They claim they can’t be deported because Somalia isn’t safe, but apparently not so unsafe that they can’t return on holiday or to have FGM performed on their daughters. The big problem in politically correct Britain is that for the PC/multiculturalism/diversity brigade, Somalis can do no wrong – they are black African AND strict Muslim. Jackpot. So to criticise them would be seen as racist AND Islamophobic. And few people dare because of that, despite the fact that the vast majority of decent, law-abiding Britons despair at what their country has become, especially in the cities.

        hardly any of the ‘refugees’ are coming to other countries because of a ‘fear for their lives or political prosecution’.
        that’s a big, fat lie whispered in their ears by the globalists/nwo.
        we in the west fall for this crap.

    That’s the problem with unfettered and uncontrolled immigration, the bad and the REALLY BAD are able to get through without any or little screening. Once they establish themselves and their criminal activity in the host country, it is all but impossible to remove them.

    This is why the UN compact on migration is so very dangerous for western countries.

    Avoiding knife crime or avoiding a legal system that finds using a knife to be a crime?

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 14, 2019 at 11:47 pm

      If the knife is being used to murder peaceful Britons, I have a problem with it.

    The way al shabaab works in Somalia is this: the terror group members run the streets in the cities, in trucks, and round up young boys and young men, offering them money to join their terror group. With poverty high, the boys take the money and become terrorists. If they refuse, al shabaab kills them.
    Not long after this became the regular way there, Somalis began to leave and come to the U.S….many of them smuggled in and many of them members of al shabaab. The FBI was aware and concerned, but did not over come the problem.

    Currently, the U.S. military is bombing Somalia to kill al shabaab members. They have killed quite a number of them in the past year.

    Whether or not it is “safer” in Somalia than in the U.K. is anyone’s guess. If the kids are sent to rural areas as opposed to the cities, they just may be safer there. The question is, are their mothers staying in the U.K. and if so, how are they to know what happens to their sons? And who is to care for these boys until they grow into men? Will they then take themselves to the cities and join al shabaab?

    Who stabs in London? Who sells drugs? Somalians

    • gravenimage says

      Certainly mostly Muslims.

    Heres a link to captagon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenethylline
    So as a young man you get offered adventure, drugs and being always of the best of people.

    Unaware people are easily fooled. Having been in a war zone I can assure you that drugs to seal up your bowels are much better than anything to make you aggressive.

    Does anyone really believe this hot air?

    My best guess is the traffic is two way, and the following are occurring:

    1. The kids are being used to ferry money to the homeland for any and every purpose.
    2. The boys are being trained for something other than mechanics, medicine, or the arts.
    3. The girls are sent to get cut and married off.
    4. The above then return to perpetuate the system. Think of the US and UK as safe houses and clearing houses for the clans that run these terror and narcoempires.

    UK: Muslim migrant parents sending their sons to Somalia to avoid knife crime in Sadiq Khan’s London
    ………………….

    There is *no doubt* that Britain in general and London in particular is becoming more and more dangerous with Muslims flooding in.

    But more dangerous *than Somalia*? I would take that with a *huge* grain of salt.

    I think it more likely that they are sending their children back to Somalia for FGM, cousin marriage, and Jihad training.

      Ergo, BREXIT, as Tommy Robinson pointed out.

    There should be an investigation into the relationship between London’s muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, and the owner of Jacksonville Jaguar’s owner, Shahid Khan. Shahid Khan, also known as Shad Khan, is a Pakistani-American billionaire and business tycoon with a history of double crossing small business owners in Fl. He took his NFL team to London and stood arm in arm with defiant players in their support of other teammates who took a knee, during the playing of our national anthem.

      I missed hearing about that disgusting episode in London–it does not surprise, though.
