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

Muslim migrant couldn’t return to Middle East for jihad, plotted vehicular jihad massacre in UK

Jul 25, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“He had been unable to travel to the Middle East due to his unsettled status and his asylum application was still being determined at the time of his arrest in December 2017.”

They are not dangerous, they are in danger! Refugees welcome!

“Man who plotted terrorist attack using explosive driverless car jailed for 15 years,” by Emma Snaith, Independent, July 24, 2019:

A man who plotted to carry out a terrorist attack with remotely-controlled vehicle has been jailed for 15 years.

Farhad Salah planned to use an explosive device, which would spare his own life, while harming “others he considered to be infidels”, prosecutors said.

The 24-year-old had been in the early stages of testing small improvised explosive devices when he was arrested, jurors heard during the five-week retrial at Sheffield Crown Court.

Salah, described as an Isis supporter called his plot a “martyrdom operation with cars without driver” in messages sent before his arrest.

He had intended to make an explosive to be placed in remote-controlled vehicle “so that no-one had to martyr themselves in the process”, prosecutor Anne Whyte QC, told the court.

“Improvised explosive devices could be made and used in a way here in the UK that spared his own life preferably but harmed others he considered to be infidels,” she said.

She added that a week before Salah was detained, he messaged a Facebook contact to say: “My only attempt is to find a way to carry out martyrdom operation with cars without driver, everything is perfect only the programme is left”.

Ms Whyte said Salah, an Iraqi Kurd, was getting “increasingly desperate” to do something for the Isis at the time he plotted the attack.

He had been unable to travel to the Middle East due to his unsettled status and his asylum application was still being determined at the time of his arrest in December 2017, she said…

    15 years on the taxpayer’s dime…

      Say, $40k a year for incarceration expenses
      multiplied by 15 = $600k.

      Might be less than all the expenditure toward capital punishment….

      Although, he has plenty of chance to proselytize and learn bad things,
      and still await getting out from the vertical bars and live to fight another day…

      So, how is that $600k money worth spent?

        We dont need convincing here.The death penalty for murder should be returned and the penalty for planning a mass killing by these Islamists must be deportation after serving several years in prison .All costs for same claimed from country of origin and/or family assets.Family to be deported along with them.Wont happen of course under present governments elected here. But there will be a change when the British realise their lives are being put at risk.

    Freeze sucker, stay right there where you are until we determine whether or not you are a time bomb.

    He just HAD to believe the fake news which Islam proclaims!

    Well, now, how is he going to get to “paradise” if he’s in prison?

    Muslim migrant…plotted vehicular jihad massacre in UK

    Rest assured there are more like this guy out there. But let’s not be too distracted by the worst of them, it’s the “peaceful” muslims that really make this all happen. That’s right, I said it. Everything these terrorists are fighting and killing for is embodied in the religious and cultural traditions of your average muslim. After all, the terrorists are fighting to spread and advance what mainstream muslims are living in their mosques, their enclaves, and their own nations. When terrorists like this one plan murder they do it for the principles and laws that undergird every muslim community no matter how small. You don’t have to believe me, just ask them, they readily admit the superiority of sharia even if it contradicts our democracy and human rights. By analogy, it’s like organized crime having millions of people turning a blind eye to their criminal ambitions, or worse, even providing material support as many muslims do for terrorist organizations either directly or indirectly. The inevitable result is that resistance to that crime is weakened and the crooks become more empowered. Muslims as a collective are no different in my mind. By worshiping a god and prophet that commands the murder and hatred of “unbelievers” they are granting terrorists a grand imprimatur to act. When your own god says it’s a good thing to do then you’ve reached your highest approval rating, at least in your own sick and misguided mind. So often the apologists for islam try to distract us by focusing excessively on the terrorists while ignoring the underlying cause which is the ideology of islam and the mainstream muslims that keep those traditions alive.

    It is time therefore, more than ever, for America to get in line with our President about islam. We need to admit the painful truth that, by and large, muslims are going to be a real danger for us as in Europe. The obvious solution is to keep muslims out, but also to stay vigilant in every area of life, that’s how I feel about it. Be ever watchful of their sneaky intrusions into our schools and universities, our law enforcement, politics–everywhere. After all, the terrorists are only the most poignant example of what your average muslim represents–ISLAMIC SUPREMACY and SHARIA ENFORCEMENT, none of which does any good for our democracy or human rights.

    I’m sure there truly are good and kind muslims. But if they support in any way islamic doctrine and its violent and immoral teachings then they should not be surprised when decent people speak against those teachings and the crime they so obviously inspire.

      You are absolutely correct. There used to be a law prohibiting Muslims from holding public office because Islam and sharia law are COMPLETELY incompatible with the Constitution. I think we need to enforce or reinstate that law. Remember, they believe it is perfectly fine to lie to infidels, if it promotes the cause of Islam.

      I saw an interview with an imam who said their goal was to be able to go door-to-door throughout the world and make sure everyone was Muslim, and if they weren’t, to kill or convert everyone else. They want a world under sharia law. I think if they want sharia, they should live in a country where it is practiced, not try to drag Western Civilization into the Ninth Century – although I’ve been told that’s giving them too much credit, that it’s more like the 7th.

        what law was there that prohibited muslims from holding public office, I’ve never heard of it?

        There has never been a specific law banning Muslims for holding public office.

      In short,

      “A radical muslim is one that wants to behead you – a ‘moderate’ muslim is one that wants a radical muslim to behead you. ” – well, at least for the time being anyway. They are ALL potential S.J.S.!

      Yesterday, coming out of the supermarket carpark, I noticed a small SUV ahead of me bearing the personalised numberplate: “SHARIA”. Now, that is what I call openly signaling your (their) intended agenda to one and all. I’m hoping that the more mainstream citizens that see and read this one out and about on the road, the more it might provoke them to think. It’s the first time I’ve noticed this one around my locality, hopefully very soon circumstance will also give the owner of this vehicle the chance to read my, “INFIDEL – and proud of it!” sign (flanked either side by two small Crusade battle flag ensigns) that are on the rear window of my own vehicle. Peter, Australia.

      PS: It hasn’t happened yet, but woe to any little dictator censor type who dares approach me to try and demand that I should remove them.

    Someone please list all the good that can be realized with 600,000 dollars. In the early days of America a nutjob like this would have been hanged. Resources were too scarce to spend on room and board for heinous criminals. There was always a thin line between life and death. If the crops failed or an infection set in… Well, I’m sure you get the picture. In our age of abundance we’ve seemed to have lost sight of all the trials and tribulations our forefathers and mothers endured to make our modern world possible. In light of this, his crimes are clearly affront to our beloved predecessors’ steadfast hopes and dreams of a better world to come.

    Sir Winston Churchill said this in
    a parliamentary debate 1921 June 14:

    “The Wahabis*, Churchill noted, “profess a life
    of exceeding austerity, and what they practice
    themselves they rigorously enforce on others.

    They hold it as an article of duty, as well as
    of faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions
    and make slaves of their wives and children.

    Women have been put to death in Wahabi
    villages for simply appearing in the streets.

    It is a penal offense to wear a silk garment.
    Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette…”

    * HISTORY NOTE: In July 2004,
    the 9/11 Commission identified Wahabism
    as a cause of Islamic Terrorism.

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews
    (chapter 7, page 67) by Martin Gilbert, 2007 CE

    CHRONOLOGY:
    Sir Winston Churchill was British Prime Minister
    from 1940 to 1945 CE and from 1951 to 1955 CE.

    ____________________________________________
    Sir Winston Churchill said this in 1937 CE:

    “When the Mohammedan upset occurred in world history,
    and the great hordes of Islam swept over these places,
    they broke it [Palestine] all up, smashed it all up.

    You have seen the terraces on the hills which used to be
    cultivated, which under Arab rule have remained a desert.”

    SOURCE: Churchill and the Jews

    Sir Winston Churchill said this in year 1921 CE:

    “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities,
    but the influence of the religion [Islam] paralyses
    the social development of those who follow it.
    No stronger retrograde* force exists in the world.”

    * VOCABULARY NOTE:

    The word RETROGRADE refers to an object
    which moves in the backward direction
    or degenerates to a worse condition.

    Anne Whyte QC, prosecutor, deflects attention away from Islam when she speaks of “others he considered to be infidels”. It leaves room for the reader to think that he has misunderstood his peaceful religion. It is nothing of the sort. The doctrines of Islam INSTRUCT this.

    Send him back to Iraq to have him executed there. And for those cases that a return may not be practical reintroduce the capital punishment for this kind of terror. Require the mosques to install hallows for execution and if they decline carrying them out let them know that they will be shut down. Expell everyone who has been involved in planning and execution of terror crime.

    Christian countries restricted the expansion of islam to Europe by not allowing them into European countries.
    After world war 2, allowing secularism , you allowed them inside.
    Christian leaders have forgotten that history shows, Evil can only be defeated by banning them, killing them.
    Day day day, number of dedicated islamic fighters goes up with the ever increasing madrasas all.over the world.

    Can the western leaders realize before it’s too late?

    Can the europe, USA escape islam ‘s relentless agenda, to capture western world?
