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

UK: Muslim boasts of fooling jury into clearing him for one jihad attack, immediately plots another

Jan 9, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The jury can be forgiven for being so easily fooled. For years now, the British government and media have systematically deceived the public about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, insisting that Islam is a religion of peace and only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” think otherwise. They doubtless figured that poor Mohiussunnath Chowdhury had a spell of anger over “Islamophobia” and was now over it and would resume his place among the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims.

“‘Islamist’ Uber driver ‘boasted how he deceived jury into clearing him of Samurai sword attack on police outside Buckingham Palace then went on to plan another attack on tourists in London,'” by Duncan Gardham, Mailonline, January 8, 2020:

An Uber driver cleared of launching a Samurai sword attack on police outside Buckingham Palace went on to plan another attack on tourists in London, a court heard today.

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 28, from Luton, was ‘motivated by dreams of martyrdom for the cause of Islam, and inspired by preachers of hate,’ a jury at Woolwich Crown Court was told.

Duncan Atkinson QC, prosecuting, said Chowdbury was ‘keen to take part in an attack on a high profile and very public target in the UK.’

The targets mentioned included Madame Tussauds in London, the Gay Pride parade, and an attack on tourists on a London open-top tour bus, the jury was told.

‘The object was to unleash death and suffering on non-Muslim members of the public who happened to be present, using a firearm, sword and even a van as part of an attack,’ the prosecutor said.

Chowdhury told undercover officers that he had indeed been trying to carry out a terrorist attack in 2017 and that he had ‘deceived’ the earlier jury that acquitted him of it, the court was told.

Chowdhury is accused of accused of preparing acts of terrorism and his sister Sneha Chowdhury, 25, is accused of failing to disclose information.

His sister had ‘better reason than anyone to understand what her brother was thinking, and wanting to achieve,’ Mr Atkinson said.

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury had a big beard and looked unkempt at the time of his first trial, the court heard today.

He allegedly told undercover officers that a fellow inmate gave him the advice to ‘play the game’ and shave his beard off.

On the day of his planned ‘suicide’ in August 2017, Chowdhury changed his WhatsApp profile picture to a green bird, said to be a reference to martyrdom.

He also wrote his sister a note which read: ‘The Queen and her soldiers will all be in the hellfire they go to war with Muslims around the world and kill them without any mercy.’

After his acquittal, Chowdhury told undercover officers that he had initially gone to Windsor Castle, because his intention was to kill a soldier but when he got there, he could not see any soldiers so he drove to Buckingham Palace.

He said that on the way to commit the attack he had listened to and found inspiration from the lectures of the al-Qaeda preacher, Anwar Al Awlaki.

During the conversation in March last year, he told the officers, that when he got to the Palace, the only soldiers he could see were too far away behind a gate to reach, so he began to manoeuvre his vehicle to attract the attention of police in a nearby van.

Woolwich Crown Court was told that an officer managed to get the passenger door open and stop him from swinging or stabbing with the weapon, but there was then a short struggle with the officers trying to get the sword from Chowdhury while he was punching them and they were punching him, as he shouted: ‘Allahu Akbar’ [god is great] over and over again.

Chowdhury was put on trial twice for the attack, after the first jury was unable to reach a verdict.

Before the second trial, on September 27 2018, drawings were found in Chowdhury’s cell at Belmarsh jail, which make reference to ‘paradise’ and showed a terrorist shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and firing at a police officer outside 10 Downing Street.

At the time of his first trial Chowdhury had a big beard and looked unkempt.

But he used the word ‘deceive’ when he was referring to his appearance and appeared ‘very proud’ when he was speaking about how he had fooled the jury, the court was told.

‘Despite his acquittal on December 20 2018, once he was released from custody he immediately showed that his mindset had not changed one jot,’ Mr Atkinson said….

    Dear British people,
    This is what your new overlords look like. Are you ready for the consequences of their rapid proliferation?

    “he had ‘deceived’ the earlier jury”.
    Deceit? A fine observant muslim.

      Thanks to MC for this : “Act like you are his friend. Then kill him.” – Sheikh Muburak Gilani

      That’s a perfect example of taqiyya and Al Walaa wal Baraa combined.

    War is deceit and we are being deceived daily by those Muslims who represent Islam in numerous public and private forums

    Superb summary by Robert Spencer: “For years now, the British government and media have systematically deceived the public about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, insisting that Islam is a religion of peace and only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” think otherwise.”

    About 15% of Muslims are self-declared supporters of jihad terror groups. How do you spot them? They mostly conceal their motives.

    About 45% of Muslims are somewhat favorable to jihad. They only need to increase their faith and then they become jihadists. How can you spot them? How can you predict what the lukewarm Muslims will do under the correct stimulation. About 35% of Muslims are non-practicing, and are unlikely to join the jihad, but who knows?

    Having Muslims in your country is a game of JIHAD ROULETTE. Eventually, one or more of the Muslims will produce a jihad.

    I do not forgive people for being so naïve. They have had more than 18 years since 9-11 to inform themselves about jihad.

    I praise the readers of JihadWatch for taking time to check in here to read the latest jihad atrocities.

    Any Muslims who read JihadWatch daily will soon come to the conclusion that there are problems in Islam that they cannot wish away.

    I am more angry at the extreme stupidity of the Brits who absolutely, positively refuse, adamantly, to protect themselves and their future generations. That infuriates me. My hatred of devout or practicing moslems has about run its course. But my anger at the stupidity, the lack of foresight and lack of sanity – – , that’ will continue. We must not be this stupid anymore !!! No one on Earth can afford this level of stupidity !!

      Agreed. What the heck is wrong with the people on those juries? They would believe this guy over a police officer?

    Agree Jay….it is the complete, absolutely infuriating stupid denial to not take into account the dangers of Islam clearly provided by the sura’s of the Quran, as if the words do not direct action against non beleivers in the form of terror just because they deny it. As it melts it’s citizens into crimminals for speaking out, for fear of attacks, that shows how much they neglected their duty to protect the British. If the Ukrainian plane passengers were British, as some were reported, where is the rage that Iran sent that plane into the sky full of missiles heading for an American base, with many muslims that were on board, Ukrainians with children, that was not a mistake that was a message of terror. NO country should allow itself to be the Islamic Repubic of Britan. or America as a matter of fact. The wall is finally approved to be finished, the democrats got their million or so voters of divesity signed up and we could be next. The cultural center of American grew at a ridiculus rate funded by the ME to try for western country number 2.

    It is cruel and inhuman punishment to not allow Chowdhury and his ilk access to the 72 virgins they so yearn for. Put the batons and tasers away and let the army sharpshooters (or anyone who knows how to flail away with an AK-47) take care of business.
