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

UK: Police identify 600 members of banned Muslim group involved in jihad massacres, prosecute none of them

Jun 30, 2019 7:18 am By Robert Spencer

“Supporters of Anjem Choudary’s al-Muhajiroun (ALM) organisation carried out atrocities including the London Bridge attack, 7/7 bombings and murder of Lee Rigby, while others fought for Isis, al-Qaeda and the Taliban abroad.”

Yet not one of them has been prosecuted. In the London Bridge jihad attack, “suspects had been arrested but not charged.”

Meanwhile, “more than a dozen people were prosecuted for membership of the neo-Nazi terrorist group National Action.”

Why the disparity? Because the authorities can safely prosecute neo-Nazis without fearing that such prosecutions will bring them charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia.” But the Muslim community in Britain has them so cowed and intimidated that they don’t dare move against jihadis.

And that, in the long run, will be the death of Britain.

“Police admit failing to prosecute Islamists for membership of UK’s ‘most dangerous extremist group,’” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, June 29, 2019 (thanks to Paul):

No one has ever been prosecuted for membership of the UK’s ‘most dangerous Islamist group’ despite followers launching numerous terror attacks, it can be revealed.

Supporters of Anjem Choudary’s al-Muhajiroun (ALM) organisation carried out atrocities including the London Bridge attack, 7/7 bombings and murder of Lee Rigby, while others fought for Isis, al-Qaeda and the Taliban abroad.

The government banned ALM as a terrorist group in 2006, making membership a criminal offence punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

But a senior counterterror officer admitted that despite police identifying 600 current or former associates, none of them have been prosecuted for membership.

The Metropolitan Police officer, who is codenamed Witness M because of an anonymity order, told inquests into the London Bridge attack that suspects had been arrested but not charged.

The coroner at the London Bridge inquest today cleared M15 and the police for missing opportunities to prevent the attacks, even though ringleader Khuram Butt had been monitored by security services as a known member of ALM.

The admission that no one has been prosecuted for membership of the group comes after more than a dozen people were prosecuted for membership of the neo-Nazi terrorist group National Action, despite setting up new factions under different names to evade the ban….

    “Islamists”? What the heck is an “islamist”?

        I take it you can explain me the difference between an “islamist” and a “muslim”?

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 30, 2019 at 9:32 pm

          Valid question, Angemon. “Islamism” is no different from “Islam”.

        • ourhome says

          Jun 30, 2019 at 10:01 pm

          islamist and muslim are synonymous. Unless you can prove to me that a person who is a muslim does NOT follow the teachings of the koran!

        • J D S says

          Jul 1, 2019 at 5:10 pm

          Is lam…Islamist…= muslim..period. End of report!
          How many agree that the whole world would be better of …Without a single Muslim living in it ???

    • ourhome says

      Jun 30, 2019 at 7:50 pm

      islamists believe in the koran and consider any other individual who DOESN’T accept it’s teachings, are infidels who must be banished (killed). Why don’t you read the koran and learn. Or do you already wear the burqua which makes women submissive to men???

        Thousands of terrorists are living near you. Disarmed castrated Brits will be homosexually raped. Their wives and children will be raped. If you object, your head will be cut off. That’s the New World Order. That’s the European Union.

      • Holly says

        Jul 14, 2019 at 5:22 pm

        Wear a burqua? Be submissive to men?? First of all, if women were supposed to wear a burqua, they’d come out of the womb wearing one. Secondly, ‘women be submissive to men’? Hell has a better chance of freezing over folks. By the way, I am a minority, and not a Muslim.

        • ourhome says

          Jul 14, 2019 at 9:04 pm

          Then you agree that islam is detrimental to women, and prevents freedom by females to live their lives accordingly. Being a minority is not an issue, since I believe all are equal wanting freedom. But if islam is not stopped, be prepared for the consequences.

    Why are these terrorist and ISIS allowed to walk and murder among us, yet 90+ year old medics, accountants or guards of NAZI Concentration camps, sometimes serving only a couple months while on their way to the Eastern Front, still prosecuted?
    .

    • Hugh Fitzgerald says

      Jun 30, 2019 at 9:23 am

      The failure to prosecute members of Anjem Choudary’s group does not mean that those who were involved in Nazi concentration camps, as “medics”(such as Mengele?), accountants (toting up the value of those gold teeth?), and guards (pushing people into the gas chambers) should not be prosecuted, whatever their age. That some reached the age of 90+ without being prosecuted is deplorable.

      • mortimer says

        Jun 30, 2019 at 10:27 am

        Maybe under Boris Johnson’s premiership the Attorney General’s Office will instruct prosecutors to charge all terrorists living in the UK. Let’s hope Boris will do so.

        All terrorists or members of terror groups should be charged. One law for all.

      • Mac-101 says

        Jun 30, 2019 at 3:13 pm

        And how many scumbags have been prosecuted for the crimes under Stalin in the Gulags? Any? And why are we dealin with the Chi-Coms when the people in power NOW belonged to the Red Revolutionary Guard that murdered perhaps over 60 MILLION of their own people?
        .
        The Concentration camp privates that are now bein prosecuted were merely flunkies who got swept up in the system.
        .
        Only 5% of the millions of captured German soldiers returned from POW Camps run by the Soviets and several thousand if not ten of thousands were purposefully starved to death by the French? Any War Crimes prosecuted there? Throw in the War Crimes committed by the French during the Algeria War too. Not very pleasant. Nor was the Belgium Occupation of the Congo. Did Millions or thousands die?
        .
        We need to concentrate on TODAYs threat! We WILL lose ALL of Western Civilization at this pace!

        Jun 30, 2019 at 9:41 pm

        Agreed, Hugh. The horrors of Islam don’t somehow make the horrors of Fascism any better.

        • Mac-101 says

          Jul 1, 2019 at 9:15 am

          So why are the mass horrors of the Socialist/Communist/Progressives ignored? They exceed Hitler’s death count by ten times at least?
          .
          Worse is that they are a PRESENT danger! NAZIs not so much NOW!

    Typical of the UK. Unless there is a Christian Revival to sweep the whole country, we will be ruled by sharia very soon.

    I can believe this! The Great Britain I grew up admiring for their “Stiff upper lip!” Has been continually bowing to the Political Correctness God!!! The people who stood up to the Nazis 80 years ago are giving a “curtsy” to a local thug all because they fear being called a name!!! Glad my ancestors were smart enough to leave there in the colonial days!!!

      Churchill actually suffered a great deal of abuse before he was able to convince his countrymen that Fascism represented a real threat.

  5. Jayell says

    Jun 30, 2019 at 9:38 am

    “Police identify 600 members of banned Muslim group involved in jihad massacres, prosecute none of them”……yet they illegally stitch up Tommy Robinson and drag prospective politicians to court for quoting Chuchill’s considered opinion of islam and its followers, etc., etc.,. etc., I think it’s true to say that those who respect the UK police are shrinking to a minority.

    No more double standards! British prosecutors should charge all terrorists without considering their race or religion.

    British prosecutors should never consider RACE as an exemption for charging terrorists who may ironically be motivated by racism.

    No more DOUBLE STANDARDS. One law for all.

  9. mortimer says

    Jun 30, 2019 at 10:23 am

    Anjem Choudary’s al-Muhajiroun (ALM) organisation is a terrorist group and should be officially designated as such.

    The British authorities are too scared of the violence of the irrational Muslims to dare to cross them in any way. Sharia Law is coming to Britain.

      Agent provocateur. Prosecution and deportation is the way to go. No violating our laws for Muslims.

    UK: Police identify 600 members of banned Muslim group involved in jihad massacres, prosecute none of them
    ……………….

    So is this just some sort of academic exercise?

    • Rufolino says

      Yes. The exercise is called, Surrender.

    If a hapless Brit is slain due to Choudary’s continued existence the government will have made its choice of his life having precedence over theirs. And Sadiq Khan, Owen Jones, and other miscreants will get their rocks off speaking of the need for more, no doubt.

  14. Jessie says

    How stupid is the government in the UK. Will they all move away when Sharia takes over. Wake up !
