Of course they weren’t told. To have told them would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Families living on same street as convicted terrorist slam police ‘No one told us,’” by Simon Osborne, Express, December 6, 2019:
FURIOUS families living alongside an al-Qaeda recruit are demanding answers about how a convicted terrorist was allowed to live on their quiet cul-de-sac without them knowing.
Dangerous Nazam Hussain was one of three jihadists – including London Bridge killer Usman Khan – convicted of a 2010 plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange. Last weekend counter-terrorist officers swooped on Hussain’s home just hours after Khan stabbed two Cambridge University graduates to death during his deadly rampage in the capital.
That was the first neighbours knew the 34-year-old had been living in Lindley Street, Stoke-on-Trent, for the past two months.
Now, Hussain has been recalled to prison after being arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
But people living in the two rows of terraced houses are angry that although they have the legal right to know if he was a convicted paedophile they had no right to know about his terrorist past.
Neighbours said Hussain, who they have since recognised from his police mugshot, was seen carrying a prison bag when he arrived at the property in September where he was met by police.
Tom Carter, 27, said: “My next-door neighbour saw him when he moved in with a clear bag and police officers, but nobody informed us that he was a terrorist.
“It’s wrong, you don’t expect to have a terrorist living two doors down. I don’t think terrorists should be released at all. If we’d been informed that he was a terrorist he wouldn’t have been living here.
“It’s scary to think we were living so close to someone like that. I’m glad he’s gone now, the police were here for three days and they had forensics here.
“I left for work one morning and the door was wide open so I offered the officers a coffee. It was surreal when it all came out.”
Peter Havran, 40, said: “I only ever saw him in the mornings but when my neighbour showed me a picture of him in the news I knew it was him. It’s scary and I thought ‘oh my God’.
“When he moved in he started saying ‘Hello’ but then towards the end he would always have his hood up and he wouldn’t talk to you.”
Hussain was jailed in 2012 for his part in a jihadi network which also involved terror cells in London and Cardiff who were plotting to attack the London Stock Exchange.
Hussain, Khan and the third member of the cell, Mohammed Shahjahan, initially acted as a self-contained radical cell, preaching an extreme version of Islam on the streets of Stoke-on-Trent….

UK: Families living on same street as convicted jihad terrorist slam cops, say “No one told us”
………………..
British authorities are doing almost nothing to protect their citizens.

“British authorities are doing almost nothing to protect their citizens.”
That is true, but it is even worse than that. The UK police are enforcing the beginnings of sharia law against non-Muslims.
But you already knew that…

Grimly true, James. British police don’t have the manpower to protect against Jihad, but they have the staff for *this* miscarriage of justice:

My grandfather was a police superintendent in the Midlands back before all of this insanity. He would be appalled by this madness.

This is what London’s Excuse-for-a-Mayor Khan is up to. He’s spent £millions on tracking down people who make naughty comments on the internet and, i believe, ending up with a total of about 6 failed prosecutions – yet he apparently can’t afford to stop London turning into a murderous criminal cesspit. Maybe it’s something to do with rhe fact that most of the naughty conments you’re not allowed to make are concerned with the people statistically responsible for most of the murder and crime. But then, as Khan says, you’ve got to expect this sort of thing in a big cosmopolitan city. Well, clearly Khan does.

Agreed, Jayell.

Cops are busy protecting the Muslims. They don’t care about the British citizens. No wonder the families were kept in the dark.A bleak future awaits the future generation.
Westman says
So if a Muslim living on your UK street is a convicted child molester, you are informed and if he’s only a convicted terrorist then you are not informed. Conclusion: Your child is protected from being killed by a Muslim criminal; you are not.
Could anything speak louder that the aristocracy considers the loss of a few hundred citizens as just the unavoidable cost of immigration – so why bother? As Mayor Khan disgustingly says, terrorism is, “part and parcel of life in a big city,”
James Lincoln says
Westman says,
“As Mayor Khan disgustingly says, terrorism is, “part and parcel of life in a big city,””
Yes, this is beyond disgusting. Terrorism does NOT have to be part and parcel of life in the big city.
Look at Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, and Bratislava – no terrorism.
All because Visegrad Group countries have the political will to prevent Muslim migration…

I avoid visiting England. If in transit,
1: stay in the flight connections area, it’s probably the safest place.
2: as soon as your flight is up, leave the place asap.
Infidel says
Whenever I fly, I make it a point not to fly via the Middle East, no matter how reputed Emirates Air, Qatar Air, Etjihad, et al might be. Now I’ve added UK to that blacklist. It’s a pity, since I do know people there from years ago who I’d like to visit someday, but it’s just not worth going to Pakistan ver 2

They have completely normalized Jehaadi terror in the UK….The UK Govt is criminally betraying its own .. History will never forgive these fellows for their willful treason.
Harry Again says
These people must be in Lala Land.
His name and face were up in all the newspapers/TV when he was originally arrested.
I ‘spect all they watch on TV is “Coronation Street” (Soap Opera).
Now the gov. has inflicted us all with Mueslims, they don’t want us bitching on about it.
Ade Fegan says
If they told us about him they would have to tell us about all the others too
There ain’t that many trees left in the world to make all the letters required !

Memo to Simon Osborne, Express:
The “extreme version of Islam” they were preaching is Mohammed’s version.
Lionel Scott says
What is an example of extreme version of Islam and an example of a normal version?.
Taylor Scobie Humphrey says
So no one in Lindley Street thought to ask the local police who the guy with the clear bag of belongings and a police escort (!) was? I know that people in my American neighborhood would be all over this if it had happened here! Wake up, Brits, you need to do some of the work yourselves. If you don’t ask questions instead of just thinking them you’ll get nowhere.
Greyhound Fancier says
I thought I saw a comment that they were told that the man was a paedophile, but that it was not revealed that he was a convicted terrorist.
gravenimage says
GF, if I recall that post correctly, I think it said that neighbors *would have* been notified if he was a pedophile, but not that he is a Jihad terrorist.
Of course, knowing Muslims, he may well have been both.
