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

UK: Muslim teen plotted lone wolf jihad massacre with hunting knife

Jun 29, 2019 2:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Five years. And he will be out way before that. What will be done in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments? Nothing, of course. To do anything like that would be “Islamophobic.”

“Hunting knife jihad plotter jailed,” CPS.gov, June 28, 2019:

A teenager who planned to carry out a terrorist outrage in London using a hunting knife, or else use the knife to steal a Rolex to fund his travel to Syria has been sentenced to five years in prison today (28 June).

Haider Ahmed, bought a 15-inch hunting knife for £25 and had it delivered to his parents’ home in Surrey where he was living.

He was prosecuted by the CPS Counter Terrorism Division who said Ahmed had viewed violent propaganda videos to prepare for an attack.

The videos included a Daesh-produced film he downloaded in June 2017 showing how to carry out a so-called “lone wolf” attack. It featured advice on where to stab someone and gave recommendations of the type of knife to use, which turned to be similar to the one in Ahmed’s possession.

After his arrest Ahmed said he wanted the weapon because he had an interest in knives and was afraid of being hurt by a boy at his school. Police found no evidence to support that claim.

The CPS told Kingston Crown Court that Ahmed, who is now 19, had already pleaded guilty to helping a man in Nigeria get to Libya to fight for Daesh. In April 2016, after the man arrived in Libya, he sent Ahmed photos which the teenager had requested. Ahmed told him they both dreamed of going to the area to fight but the other got there first. It showed that Ahmed also wanted to travel….

    “Five years. And he will be out way before that.”

    Agreed, much tougher sentence needed here.

    “Terrorism”? That’s not how you spell treason…

    A five year sentence in this case is basically saying, “You didn’t get it right the first time, but in 5 years of less you’ll get a second chance”.

    It has always seemed to me that the serious intention to kill someone be considered by the courts as just a hair short of murder. In the U.S., failed hit jobs usually end up with decades long sentences. This is preventive justice and is a responsible deterrent to second hand killers.

    It looks like his plans might have ended up as premeditated murder, so that’s how.he should have been charged. 70 years ago that could have meant the death sentence.

    ………………………..

    A five year sentence for plotting mass murder is absurd.

    In year 1952 Winston Churchill said:

    “What other nation in history, when it became
    supremely powerful, had no thought of
    territorial aggrandizement, no ambition but to
    use its resources for the good of the world?

    I marvel at America’s altruism,
    her sublime disinterestedness.”

    A few years back, I heard Christian pastor John Hagee,
    founder of Christians United for Israel, proclaim:

    Where are the nations that have persecuted the Jewish people?
    Where is Pharaoh and his army?
    Where are the Babylonians?
    Where are the Greeks?
    Where is the Ottoman Empire?
    Where are the Romans?

    Where is that goose-stepping lunatic Adolf Hitler and his Nazi hoards?
    All are historic footnotes in the boneyard of human history.

    Where is Israel?
    Where are the Jewish people?
    They are alive and well; they are thriving; they are prospering;
    they are growing… they are still going forward.

    When the German publishers of The Hobbit
    wrote to [Professor J. R. R.] Tolkien in [year] 1938 [CE]
    asking if he was of arisch (Aryan) origins,
    and could prove it, he refused to do so,
    indignantly replying that:

    “If I am to understand that you are enquiring
    whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only
    reply that I regret that I appear to have
    no ancestors of that gifted people.”

    SOURCE: Defending Middle-Earth
    (chapter 2, page 39) by Patrick Curry, year 2004 CE,

    MICROBIOGRAPHY: Professor J. R. R. Tolkien
    was author of: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
    In year 2008, The Times ranked him sixth on a
    list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
    He died in year 1973 at age 81.

    Martin Gilbert said:

    “Internal Koranic evidence shows that the Jews of Medina
    [a city now in Saudi Arabia] were steeped in rabbinical tradition.

    While celebrating him [Mohammed] as an unlearned person,
    the hadith [Islamic holy books] acknowledges that
    Mohammed was confounded by the learned questions of these Jews.”

    SOURCE: In Ishmael’s House: A History of Jews
    in Muslim Lands
    (chapter 2, page 13) by Martin Gilbert,
    year 2010, published by Yale University Press

    ===================================
    Martin Gilbert said:

    “The conquests of Islam made Jews the subjects
    of Arab and Muslim rulers in a wide swath of land,
    stretching from the Atlantic coast of Morocco to
    the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan.

    Being non-Muslims, these Jews held the inferior
    status of dhimmi, which, despite giving them
    protection to worship according to their own faith,
    subjected them to many vexatious and
    humiliating restrictions in their daily lives.”

    ===================================
    Martin Gilbert said:

    “In the 5th century [of the Common Era] Yemen
    [the land immediately south of Saudi Arabia]
    adopted Judaism as its religion.

    King Ab Karib Asad, the ruler of the Himyarite kingdom,
    introduced the change after converting to Judaism
    himself under the influence of Jews at his court.

    Many south Arabian converts to Judaism followed.
    Jewish rule in Yemen lasted almost 100 years.”

    Rabbi Ovadiah of Bartenura
    (in a letter to his father in year 1488 August 15 CE):

    “Jews in Muslim lands make themselves appear poor.

    They go about like an impoverished, despised people,
    with their heads bowed before Muslims.”
