The capacity of British authorities, and authorities all over the West, for self-deception is apparently inexhaustible.
“TERRORIST ADVISER Lee Rigby’s killer Michael Adebolajo works as de-radicalisation mentor at jail London Bridge terrorist was freed from,” by Ben Griffiths, The Sun, December 29, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
LEE Rigby’s killer Michael Adebolajo is working as a de-radicalisation mentor at the jail where London Bridge attacker Usman Khan was an inmate.
The jihadi, 34, who renounced extremism last year and said sorry to the family of soldier Lee, 25, has taken on an unofficial role talking to jailed terror plotters.
Adebolajo, given life for murdering Lee, has been assisting pastoral prison workers to help extremists reform at HMP Woodhill — the jail Khan was freed from in December last year.
A source said: “Michael’s U-turn has been astonishing but he insists he is on the path of reform and has been helping to talk to other prisoners about the importance of staying on the right path.
“He tells others that he made a drastic mistake and is trying to encourage others to shun extremism and not go down the path he went down.
“He was in the prison at the same time as Usman Khan.”
Khan, who killed two reform workers last month after attending a prison rehabilitation seminar, had been jailed for 16 years in 2010 for plotting to blow up the London Stock Exchange.
But just two years later, while in Woodhill, he began saying he wanted to be free of Islamist extremism and repeatedly renounced his radical ways until he was released halfway through his sentence.
NEWFOUND REMORSEAdebolajo, like Khan, had links to Anjem Choudary’s extremist group al-Muhijaroun.
He and accomplice Michael Adebowale hacked to death dad-of-one Lee outside Woolwich Barracks in South East London in 2013.
When Adebolajo performed his U-turn last year, he expressed his newfound remorse to prison staff and a fellow inmate.
The killer, who cited the Koran moments after the 2013 atrocity, also admitted he “misinterpreted” Islam’s holy book.
In a further desperate shift from his radical ways, he has asked to be known as Michael after years of insisting he be called Mujahid Abu Hamza.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Adebolajo is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous extremists in the prison system. He has never wavered from his beliefs before — which makes this confession all the more remarkable.
“He approached a fellow inmate and a member of prison pastoral staff to say he finally regretted the murder.”
He admitted he was brainwashed and said his attack on Lee was “a misguided attack on an institution”.
Now, he is telling other prisoners to reject Islamic extremism and is helping prison staff beat radicalisation.
During his trial in 2013, he kissed the Koran and insisted on only being referred to as Mujahid Abu Hamza.
He screamed “Allahu Akbar” and fought with policemen in the dock as he was given a whole-life tariff….
Jeremy says
lying, deceipt, deception, are in the dna of muslims; it is highly unlikely any of them are ‘deradicalized’ and I would certainly not take their word for anything. what is the matter with you people? keep them in for life or execute them, preferably the last as this is NEVER going to stop no matter how many chances you give them.
abad says
Better yet, Moslems should be deported from the UK. They do not belong in that country at all.
Patti Pickerd says
Agree!
Gerald Hemily says
Totally Agree

So it seems. After all, what could be less “radical” than murdering a soldier with a machete? Utter insanity…
Patti Pickerd says
Agree 100% ? at the people responsible for this maniacs release. Has Lee been released from heaven??? NO he hasn’t so just lock the bastard back up or execute him.!!!!!!
Antivenin says
He wants a second chance at killing infidels.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Ann Bradley says
Give it time, it will happen.
Patti Pickerd says
Bet he’s laughing his head off, at how stupid westerners are for allowing ? like this!!!!!!!!!!
Thomas Richard says
Britain…….you need to bring back the noose and give value to the lives of victims. Taxpayer funded room and board and a phony turnaround doesn’t cut it!
Save Europe says
I hope this DOES happen – capital punishment.
One of the stupid requirements of being an EU member was that a country must not practice capital punishment.
Now that we are leaving the ghastly EU, we could, potentially reinstate it.
Patti Pickerd says
Agree!!! This is so ?????????
Stanley says
I don’t care if he is genuinely remorsefull, he deserves the noose, or a bullet or some other form of punishment.
He chose his path. Lee Rugby Rip.
Rufolino says
What on earth must Lee Rigby’s nearest and dearest be feeling now ?
This is grotesque.
keya says
Why is trash still breathing ! Why wasn’t he executed for murder.
Patti Pickerd says
My question as well!!! Bring back capital punishment!!!!!!
Michael Copeland says
“Deradicalisation”, from the viewpoint of authorities, is a fatal blend of self-delusion, ignorance, wishful thinking, red herring and self-importance.
If they were only to inform themselves (not from imams) about Islam’s agenda they would know that Adebolajo has not, as he claims, “misinterpreted” Islam’s holy book. They should see for themselves what the book says, including Chapter Nine, which abrogates all the earlier peaceful verses that conflict with it.
What is their “interpretation” of “Kill”?
Michael Copeland says
The “deradicalisation” sessions need to be recorded, like police interviews.
Naildriver says
With Islam in the West today; given the willful, ignorance, treason and bureaucratic machinations to pretend it poses no danger; Chernobyl comes to mind — that HBO Docudrama which analysed the events, human error, and science corrupted by the lies of a bad system of Communism — which led to the deaths of thousands, poisoning of hundreds of thousands and cost in billions, where hundreds of square kilometers are dangerous to tread upon to this day.
Islam is lies abetted with thugs and fanatics, not just willing to murder to sustain those lies, they are actually directed to do so by Islam’s very Koran and other structures. The cost will be extreme for the West in a few short years.
Tom says
A new strategy ….. the jihadi’s are of no use sitting in a jail cell for the rest of their lives so deceive the infidel fools into thinking that the jihadi’s are no longer a threat and can actually become a useful tool for the infidel. Once fooled the infidel will put the jihadi on show somewhere outside the prison where they can once again do their jihad and kill as many as possible. So what if the jihadi dies, he will willingly trade a life in prison for his 72 virgins in heaven with Allah.
Tell me it ain’t so.
Michael Copeland says
Ben Griffiths, of The Sun, is a little free with the facts.
The disturbance in the court was not in consequence of the sentence, but of an ignorant and erroneous statement about Islam by the judge:
“The judge said their actions were “a betrayal of Islam and of the peaceful Muslim communities who give so much to our country”.
Adebowale shouted “that is a lie” at the judge, later shouting “you know nothing about Islam” in Sweeney’s direction.”

Dear God, I could not even finish reading this story.
“The jihadi, 34, who renounced extremism last year and said sorry to the family of soldier Lee, 25”
Well, that makes it all okay!

The prison officials making these “judgement calls” should have IQ tests to see if they have one.

Fire the bloody lot of them NOW!!!!!!!!! Veterans can do the job much BETTER!!!!!!!!
Anthony says
And we all believe him ?
Wellington says
Even assuming he is telling the truth (a huge “assuming” I fully realize) he should nonetheless have been executed long ago.
Not having the death penalty for those who commit heinous crimes is NOT a sign of enlightenment and progress. Rather, it is evidence of confused thinking and moral weakness, which pretty much sums up the UK and most of Western Europe in our time.
Mo says
@ Wellington
Absolutely right. It’s a problem in America as well. Convicted murderers need to be executed, and in a timely manner. None of this crap of being on Death Row for decades! Ridiculous.
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, Mo. And what is extra morally egregious is that those against the death penalty are quite silent when someone who should have been executed kills again, whether a fellow inmate, a prison guard, a nurse or doctor attending him, as an escapee who kills another time, or, worst of all, as someone paroled who then kills again. The blood of these unnecessary future victims is on the hands of all those against the death penalty.
Liz says
Is there a way to execute Jihadis so they are not martyrs?
A cause/type of death that they believe sends them straight to hell?
gravenimage says
Liz, while it is not in the Qur’an, some Muslims believe that being executed by a woman or while smeared with pork products that they will not be able to go to paradise.
My own opinion is that we should just enforce our laws and not worry about unhinged Muslim beliefs.
Liz says
GI, As you know some want to die to get their 72 perpetual virgins in their perverts paradise. Capital punishment can be delivered in a bunch of ways without being cruel or unusual. My understanding is Isis rapes virgins before murdering them so they go to hell. In no way do I want any one to turn into anything like Isis, but I am looking for options as a solid deterrent based on their beliefs.
If a female hangman is a huge deterrent to jihadis then I say we hire more.
Mo says
@ Wellington
Those against the death penalty are on the side of the criminals. It’s a morally inverted worldview, where criminals are the victims and victims are either irrelevant, or even to blame.
It took me a long time to figure this out. Or at least to start recognizing it when I’d see it. I don’t claim to have figured it out. It’s evil.
My awakening began when I went to see the movie, “Dead Man Walking.” There was a graphic flashback scene of the rape/murder and it left me horrified and wishing I could erase it from my brain. And then the rest of the film is spent on making the criminal into the victim. I remember being so confused at the time.
Now we see it all the time.
Rob Porter says
Add Canada to the list of those with confused thinking and morally weak – and incredibly stupid! Common sense long ago deserted this country. The more that God and belief in moral absolutes are rejected, the more stupid things have become. While the jihadist, Faisal Hussain, was on his murderous rampage in Toronto, he was heard saying, or shouting, ‘Allahu Akbar’, yet afterwards the ‘brilliant’ chief of police informed all those stupid enough to believe him, that we would probably never know what drove the Muslim savage to do what he had done. Muslim columnist, Tarek Fatah has warned that in 2001 Islam declared war on the West and that both mosque congregations and Muslim children continue to be taught hateful things against infidels, but no one in authority wants to hear such things. The more Muslim will occur is a dead certainty.
Save Europe says
Robert –
Hello.
Even today (here in the U.K.) there have been reports about anti Muslim graffiti outside a Mosque in Brixton.
Well, what a surprise!!!
Please note – there were countless ‘ 9/11 anti Semitic’ graffiti ‘works’ outside Jewish areas in London, several days ago.
I can guarantee that those who did the latter, were Muslims – notice how the 9/11 graffiti is very similarly etched like Arabic/Urdu.
In regards to the ‘former’ – it will be a case of false flag Muslim graffiti near mosques, hoping to expunge and cancel ‘out’ what happened near the Jewish areas, diverting attention away, in the news.
Bob says
History definitely does repeat itself. We are now currently immersed in the pre-Crusades era of the past having to endure the worldwide onslaught of Islam. Just how long will it be before civilized people finally rise up and destroy this cancer? I guess we’ll find out.
Ally says
This is Al Taqqia or deception. He is not remorseful. He must be laughing out loud about the stupidity of police , government and the liberal system. He will attack again. These people must be held accountable.
Kay L. Sellati says
I would not trust him any further than I could throw him,
Tay says
Sounds like the prospect of serving 40 odd years in prison before parole is catching up on him.
Let the vile scum die in his cell
And I’m embarrassed that our prison system and those who work there actually believe this bullshit
Tay says
Also, I just want to add…. Isn’t it typical of Muslim men to believe the bullshit about 72 virgins waiting for them when they die. Not content with raping and abusing women and underage girls while alive, they also want sexual desires when they die.
If they acted like REAL men, and treated women with RESPECT… and took more pride in how they look… then they wouldn’t feel the need to force females to have sex with them
Perverted rapists the lot of them
underbed cat says
The second he said he “misinterpeted” the Quran, telling the prison what they want to hear, that all terrorist misinterpreded the (warfare) verses which give obligations to act or slay….he lost credibility. He may regret what he did but he knew what the staff would accept and that is what matches the narrative from the Brits authority is that it is misinterpreted and Islam is a religion of peace. Hardly factual. But they also consider the truth hate speech. It was a gruesome murder, but if he believed at the time it was a duty and acted and if he walks the streets he is a danger and in danger if he gets back with his group and returns to his old complete way of life. It was a short time in prison for murder.
Giacomo Latta says
Does Adebolajo ever have to submit to a performance evaluation, for his work as a de-radicalisation mentor I mean. What criteria does his boss use to reveal an effective employee? Does he at least have to abandon Islam? It doesn’t appear so as he is busy re-interpreting the koran.
Walter Sieruk says
Let’s not be naive and think that “ deradicaization course” would impress and thus cause a jihad-minded Islamic terrorist to no amount of counseling will straighten them out.
As the philosopher, Emmanuel Kant wrote “Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing can be made.” Likewise, the Ancient Greek playwright, Aristophanes, had also written “Even the wisest of the wise can never make a crab walk straight.”
E T says
Does an eye for an eye mean death to one who kills or is that a rule in fairy land?
Michael Copeland says
Yes, that is the rule in Sharia.
Ade Fegan says
A mentor huh ? .. so early release for this one too
John Hillman says
Just trying to get released so he can do the same thing again. He’s a wolf putting on the sheepskin, to try and make us think he is reformed. Read the following to see why he and other Islamists play the reformed prisoner card. Remember London Bridge!
Taqiyya, Taqiya or Kitmān
This guy and other terrorists lie to achieve their end result. the following information explains how and why they do this and how it is justified under sharia law – Take a few minutes to become acquainted by this important information and ask yourself why this fact is not being discussed and debated in the media, especially following terrorist attacks?
In Islam, Taqiya or Taqiyya (Arabic: تقیة taqiyyah, literally “prudence, fear”) is a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and or practice in the face of persecution, investigation or interrogation. Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. “action of covering, dissimulation”), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence, omission or lying.
This practice is emphasised in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion. The practice is much less prominent in Sunni Islam, but is permitted under certain circumstances such as threats to life (though martyrdom in such instances is still regarded as more honourable).
Taqiyya was initially practiced under duress by some of Muhammad’s Companions. Later, it became particularly important for Shias due to their experience as a persecuted religious minority. According to Shia doctrine, taqiyya is permissible in situations where there is overwhelming danger of loss of life or property and where no danger to religion would occur thereby. Taqiyya has also been politically legitimised, particularly among Twelver Shias, in order to maintain unity among Muslims and fraternity among the Shia clerics. Yarden Mariuma, sociologist at Columbia University, writes: “Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie.
It should be considered “mainstream” and ubiquitous in modern Islamic politics, Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it. We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream…Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.
The Orientalist Stefan Jakob Wimmer explains that Taqiyya is not a tool to deceive non-Muslims and spread Islam but instead a defensive mechanism to save ones life when it is in great danger, however this view has changed in the last two decades as Islamist, amongst them Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Hamas and Terrorists attacking the west have regularly been found to be using it to deceive others (Infidels) as to their belief, intention and actions.
