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

UK: London jihad stabber spent days before the attack praying

Feb 6, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

If we didn’t have our moral superiors around to assure us otherwise, we might almost be tempted to think that this attack had something to do with Islam.

“‘When I grow up I’m going to be a terrorist’: As a dope-smoking boy in the suburbs, Sudesh Amman fantasised about killing police and had an ISIS flag in his room… on Sunday he went on knife rampage (after a final mutton biryani from mum),” by Sam Greenhill, Daily Mail, February 4, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

As a schoolboy, he struck gangster-style poses and vowed to classmates: ‘When I grow up I am going to be a terrorist.’

They thought Sudesh Amman was joking, but he meant it.

On Sunday, the 20-year-old was shot dead as he embarked on the Streatham knife rampage – days after asking his mother to cook his favourite mutton biryani.

As a schoolboy, he struck gangster-style poses and vowed to classmates: ‘When I grow up I am going to be a terrorist.’ They thought Sudesh Amman – who was shot dead as he embarked on the Streatham knife rampage – was joking, but he meant it.

It had been Amman’s twisted ambition to ‘die as a martyr’, as he once wrote under the heading Goals In Life, in a notebook found by police.

He was an obsessive online gamer who loved playing violent shoot-’em-ups such as Call Of Duty – even boasting he wanted to play the war game ‘in real life’.

Former classmates in the London suburbs talked of a ‘weird’ loner who was obsessed with knives, constantly smoked marijuana and even claimed that he was carrying around grenades.

Amman spent the days leading up to the stabbing frenzy alone and praying in a bail hostel, having been released early from a terrorism sentence at Belmarsh prison….

    Ah … such a pious Muslim. He prayed for days fervently as he prayed his murderous rampage against random passers-by.

    Meanwhile, the British Keystone Kops were busy being politically correct and avoiding the cry of ‘RACIST’ (what is the ‘race’ of the ideology of jihad-terrorism?).

    The British police have let the people of Streatham down and have assured the jihadists that they will be able to do plan and execute attacks and finish up a murderous martyr of Islam. (How glorious!)

    The British police have done nothing to discourage the terrorists.

    For once there is no mention of “mental issues”.
    Following that recent case in which jihad was mentioned in court there is hope that a small gleam of reality is beginning to be seen.

      True, Michael–that’s something, at least.

    The muslim who slaughtered Miss Halimi in Paris, shouting “Allahu Akbar!”, and threw her off the balcony, had been smoking marijuana, too. The French woman judge allowed that to exonerate him, in a travesty of justice, as it had impaired his mental state.

      The pot calling the kettle black? At least Amman didn’t get a chance for a ‘fair’ trial (thank goodness) That saved the British paxpayer a fortune in legal representation and prison expenses.

    Does pot turn a Moslem into a Jihadist?

    • David says

      Feb 9, 2020 at 10:28 am

      No, but it might provide an alibi in court (French case: woman killed by muslim ‘pot head’)

        Yes–this is ridiculous. I have my issues with the recent explosion of pot usage, but it doesn’t turn its users into murderers.

    The So-Called Western Police have either sold out to the Pro-Muslim Mayors, etc., or are afraid of losing their Jobs. Either way, they have betrayed their own people. In the UK, it seems to start at the Top of the GOV & FILTERS DOWN to the Lowest Civil Servant.

    I shed no tears for this POS. Now, who is investigating and prosecuting his imam, his mosque, and any and all purported charities associated with him?

    Michael Blackburn, a lecturer at the University of Lincoln (UK), made a similar observation that maybe Jihadi attacks are inspired by Islam. The university came out in defence of Dr Blackburn….and then quietly sacked him a couple of months later, once the eye of the media was off him.

    When will the Police start using ammo that is coated in Pork-Fat? That is the only way to stop the Jihadi as it will negate Paradise for them.
    However the uproar from Labour would finally cement the notion that they are on the side of the Jihadis.

    I think this discussion has generated fruitful interaction! Just watched an old long double barreled episode of Silent Witness called Safe. It tried bravely to address knife crime, Somali sharia gangs then bottled out at the end. A bunch of rather racist remarks were made by a white man and that somehow balanced the murders, rapes and hideous deaths. What is, is. It needs to be seen through clear unmuddled eyes. Faith requires, I suggest, seeing somebody else’s vision through their eyes. And believing it.

    Isn’t it amazing how well the fervent practice of Islam correlates with violent attacks on non-Muslims!

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 7, 2020 at 10:08 pm

      *So* true, No Muzzies Here.
