“The move comes amid fears of a fresh wave of attacks as jihadists return from Syria and radicalised prisoners are released from jail.”
That prisons have been allowed to become recruiting grounds for the global jihad is an ongoing indication of the fact that the British government (like governments all over the West) either still doesn’t take the jihad threat seriously, or more likely, is too intimidated by the growing Muslim population within the country to do anything effective to counter this recruitment. If they did, they’d be tarred as “Islamophobic.” So instead, people who sell vacation packages to Britons are being given “specialist terror training.” Yeah, that’ll work.
“HIGH ALERT Holiday reps given ‘specialist terror training after ISIS plot to massacre Brits in Med hotels,’” by Thomas Burrows, The Sun, June 9, 2019:
HOLIDAY reps are being given terror training as ISIS reportedly plot to massacre Brits at hotels across Europe.
The move comes amid fears of a fresh wave of attacks as jihadists return from Syria and radicalised prisoners are released from jail….
On Easter Sunday 2019, coordinated terrorist attacks on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka killed more than 250 people, which included UK holidaymakers….
The heads of MI5 and MI6 have revealed jihadis could “target hotel locations to kill, injure or take hostage” people in tourist hot spots, the Daily Star on Sunday reported.
Workers, from firms such as Thomas Cook, Jet2 and First Choice, have reportedly been given specific hotels to look after and taught “survival skills” should terrorists strike.
Since 2017 workers have been trained to help combat terror attacks abroad….
Charlie Winter, of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College London, said: “Now that ISIS has been defeated in Syria and Iraq, it will become more violent outside this area.
“It’s a grim outlook, but we are likely to see more attempts at attacks, more regularly, for the foreseeable future.
“Sri Lanka was not a one-off. If anything, it was a test run.”

No shit?
Geoff Rankin says
I’m right with that
Lydia Church says
I am thankful also that Pentecost came and went without too much terrorism. (Not like Sri Lanka)
But don’t hold your breath as they are just getting warmed up and it was a test run.
J D.S says
Releasing terrorist is an awful thing….I’ll probably get spanked for this but….I believe that any terrorist that is involved in terrorism that caused death should loose their lives also and laws should be passed to cover this ….but our officials have no guts so terrorist will serve a minimum sentence and be released to continue their killing and maiming innocent people..
Islam is a scourge upon the face of the earth and until the whole world realizes this then things will continue just as they are.

Hey, we all know that Trump is much worse than IS! So let’s go protest him and support islam whenever we have chance. This is, for instance the sentiment of Claudia Roth, the vice-president of the German Bundestag. She hates the “fascist Trump” and walks behind banners saying “Germany, you mean piece of shit”. If Germans have a hard time explaining Hitler to their kids, the will find it impossible to explain their stupidity this millenium.

Yes–this it is obviously absurd even for those who are not particular Trump fans (but are still sane).

Regarding those ISIS jihadists Muslims as well as as those jihad-minded Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter the different countries of Western Europe they are deluded and heinously dangerous man. . As in some of them engaged in rioting and even rapes of the European girls and women. In addition to this vile brutal behavior by the heinous Muslim who were kindly permitted to enter the nations of Europe to live, As the countries of ,for example France, Germany Sweden, Denmark etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims. This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq pages 308, 309.
Walter Sieruk says
Many jihadist /Muslims,as those of ISIS, have the Islamic agenda and quest to conquer the nations of the West for Islam. Either “by hook or by crook” as in by engaging in the stealth jihad or in the violent and deadly “jihad of the sword.” , the later is seen by the actions of ISIS/Muslims.
Likewise part of all this in is by the Muslim infiltration of the Western countries which is being accomplished by the great number of Muslim migrants who are entering the Western nations.
As a Former Muslim had revealed in his book when he wrote that “there has been large –scale immigration into the West, from Islamic nations…of Muslims who are implacably hostile to the West, have no desire to learn why the West became so rich and tolerant , and certainly have no desire to assimilate. They feel no gratitude of allegiance to their Western host nations; their only obligations are to fellow Muslims.”
The author further clarifies by adding. “The mere presence of so many Muslims in the West had affected the domestic and international behavior of governments, whose foreign policy is dominated by fear of offending their Muslim population ready to riot on the slightest pretext. Those unassimilated Muslims are committed to introducing Islamic laws in the West. , and they are able to do so cleverly exploiting the freedoms created over the centuries by the infidels.” [1]
As for that above statement that the “Muslim population [is] ready to riot on the slightest pretext…” This is valid evidence that the old saying is true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
On this very important subject another scholar in his book informs the reader that “Islamic involvement in the political process is much more advanced in Europe than in the United States.” and he further makes it known that “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategists who are seeking world dominance.” [2]

Walter Sieruk says
Those jihadist of ISIS with the Islamic scheming to inflect more heinous Islamic Muslim terrorist murderous violence are jihad-mined Muslim how are as vicious they are deadly .
Those ISIS jihadists with their jihad malice –filled heinously cruel murderous violence is most despicable Still, there are some naive and uninformed people who might , understandably, when finding out about this be shocked and then stop and wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malicious , vile, unfeeling and misogynistic ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
Paul says
Anybody remember the attack on tourists in Tunisia ?
Only 38 killed. Hardly worth remembering is it ?
Here the facts behind the facts: The inquest found that the police response to the Tunisia Beach Attacks was “at best shambolic and at worst cowardly” after officers in the vicinity were found to be hiding or running in the opposite direction to the attacker. A security team close by to the attack and armed with assault rifles and wearing protective vests, retreated to wait for reinforcements for a half an hour, during which time the lone gunman killed the 38 victims.[9]

Some people would say Muslim complicity.

…………………….
Who can be surprised by this madness?
And this is the first story I have seen by Robert Spencer since his return. Great to have you back, sir.

Yes, there have been a few posts over the last couple of days.
It is very good indeed!

Once a Jihadi has served his prison term he should be deported. If the Jihadi is a citizen of the country he was imprisoned in he should be charged with sedition and be imprisoned again upon conviction.

Really??? Do ya think???
(Sorry to sound snarky, but that one had it coming…)

I am glad however, that they are facing reality and not hiding from it for fear of being labeled ‘islamophobic.’
“Sri Lanka was not a one-off. If anything, it was a test run.”
Yup. Ain’t that the truth! And in more than one way.
I sometimes get travel ads for Europe and some for London and I have to laugh! It’s like… they think we don’t know! I wouldn’t be caught dead there! If I was there, then I would be caught dead, and if I was caught there, then I would be dead. In any case my travels are done and my travel days are over, thank God! Been there… done that!
No UK for me…no Canada… none of it. It’s even a boycott.
Laura says
I think that in a few years even Blackpool, Brighton and Scarborough will be as risk prone as the Costa del Sol.
Rufolino says
Certainly Laura.
Bomb outrages in Europe will increase in frequency over the coming decades, taking on predictability, but extremely difficult to prevent.
It’s a terrible thing to say, but it looks as if this will precede Islamic victory. Look at Sweden: indifference.
