Authorities in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain never dare to discuss or examine, much less confront, the actual nature of those “terrorist motives.”
The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
“Copycat terrorist who tried to kill police and cyclists is jailed for life,” by Emily Pennink, Mirror, October 14, 2019:
A copycat terrorist who tried to “kill as many people as possible” when he ploughed into cyclists and police officers outside Parliament has been jailed for life.
Salih Khater, 30, deliberately rammed his Ford Fiesta into a pedestrian and cyclists at a red light before trying to mow down two officers at 30mph on August 14 last year.
Mrs Justice McGowan found the refugee from Sudan had deliberately copied other terrorists as she jailed him on Monday for life with a minimum term of 15 years.
She said: “Your undoubted intention was to kill as many people as possible and by doing so spread fear and terror.”
The incident happened less than 18 months after a terrorist hit and killed four pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before fatally stabbing an unarmed police officer outside Parliament.
Dramatic CCTV footage showed Khater’s car ramming into the commuters in central London before careering into a security lane and crashing into barriers as two officers jumped out of the way.
The judge told him: “You replicated the acts of others who undoubtedly have acted with terrorist motives. You deliberately copied those others.
“It was an attack on strangers and police officers at the seat of democracy in this country.
“You are dangerous in that you present a significant risk of causing serious harm to the public in the future.
“Even acting alone, you acted for a terrorist purpose. All the evidence is consistent with that conclusion.”
The failed accountancy student, who arrived in Britain in 2010 as a refugee from Sudan, had a grudge against the Government but claimed he was lost and it was an accident.
Alison Morgan QC had told jurors the attack was “premeditated and deliberate” and had a terrorist motive, although the details were unclear….
elee says
Pretty perceptive for a judge. Will they remove him and order reeducation?
Tim Burton says
The judge is a ‘she’, apparently. Unless of course it’s a transgender judge identifying as a woman. Either way, the judgment is pretty radical. My prediction: head on a spike outside Traitors’ Gate before Brexit.
somehistory says
Good for Mrs. Judge. If only more people could see and have the courage to say the Truth.
Rufolino says
All well and good, except Islam is never mentioned.
somehistory says
That is true. But just think how long these rabid creatures have been committing these terror acts and the authorities were not calling it “terrorism.”
Not understanding the culture, sex-deprived, no jobs, mental illness…all excuses for “terrorism.”
This is a start, even if it’s a small step. A small step is still movement.
Paul says
Whats not mentioned is that the day before he had been refused an emergency passport to visit relatives in Sudan where he was a refugee from. Too dangerous for him to stay there.
He planned to escape. How did a creature like that get British citizenship ?
How did he get government funds to fail at an accountancy course ? If you are white and working class you have to have a means test before any funding comes from the government.

Terrorist motives? My God, Islam has had terrorist motives from its outset. When the founder of your religion says, “I have been made victorious with terror” {Bukhari Hadith 9.84.57}, you have to be a complete dumb shit not to conclude that said religion, duh, is very much into terror in order to spread itself.
The willful ignorance of Islam continues unabated. And it is most menacing to the West which explored liberty as no other civilization has come even close to doing.
Thus, continued willful ignorance of Islam’s real designs, as evidenced by political parties in the West ad nauseam and by most of the hierarchical structure of the Roman Catholic Church (which used to “get” Islam quite well but no longer), among so many other institutional Western organizations who are equally guilty of this same stupidity, arguably represent the most massive and suicidal willful ignorance of all time.
Yeah, it’s this bad.
Lotus says
This Sudanese man got a long sentence, and people think that is good. There is a similar case in the Netherlands (an Afghan), also on this site today, who got 26 years.
But think of the expense to the state of prosecuting these people and then keeping them in prison for years. It’s all at the taxpayers’ expense. These immigrants have been a drain on the taxpayer since they first arrived.
Wouldn’t it be better not to allow them entry in the first place? Why should we keep at great expense a Sudanese and an Afghan in European prisons for years?
These fanatics may even think it is preferable to be in the slammer than to be in their failed countries. They get accommodation, clothing, good medical care, food every day, and they can join the fast-expanding Muslim gangs which have emerged in many Western prisons. What’s not to like?
Not to let them enter in the first place is surely the smart move.
mortimer says
UK has pandered to Islam because they need the oil from Arab countries.
abad says
Khater needs to be deported back to Syria after his jail time is served.

Dame Maura Patricia McGowan, DBE (styled The Hon. Mrs. Justice McGowan) is apparently somewhat informed about canonical jihadic Islam … not the whitewashed, Leftarded version of Islam used to dupe the general public and keep their freedom of expression in abeyance.
Islam is the sixth and most important pillar of Islam since it supports and protects the others. Muslims all know (but many pretend they do not know) that jihad is a compulsory and universal duty incumbent upon all Muslims.
Dame Maura McGowan apparently has some understanding of jihad. I hope she is able to influence others in the UK judicial system to inform themselves about the ‘ESSENTIAL’ Islamic doctrine (usul ud-deen) of JIHAD WARFARE AGAINST the DISBELIEVERS.
Her clear understanding of jihad is indicated here: “Your undoubted intention was to kill as many people as possible and by doing so spread fear and terror.
Exactly … cf. Koran 8.60 “Turhibunna” (terrorise them).
J D S says
As long as the Muslim world is still numb about what their teachings actually teach then islam will stay put with all of its awful tenants. Until they step up and throw fear of reprisAls aside then Islamist will just keep on keeping on….Well maybe not…if our leaders would get on board about the wiles of islam and start some legislative action that address thevfact that Islam is an organization that want to overthrow our western governments and place their laws above ours, maybe islam could ….Possibly…be put in the stop mode.
jca reid says
Careful now, Judge, you could lose your job for saying that. Even though EVERYBODY & their dog knows it to be the simple Truth.
Giacomo Latta says
Our good news story of the day, except for the fifteen years of detention. We know how many people he hit. Was any effort made to determine how many people he tried to hit?
Ole Pederson says
If this were in Germany, it would be declared “no indication of terrorism” even if the guy screamed “Allah Akbar” as recently happened in Limburg. The thug would be set free or at most, receive psychiatric treatment (on taxpayers’ cost).
