While he was in prison, nothing whatsoever was done to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments. To have attempted to do any such thing would have been “Islamophobic.” And so he went out and pursued his jihad. And even after this, despite all the tough talk that we hear after every jihad attack, nothing whatsoever will be done to prevent this from happening again.
“Revealed: Terrorist shot dead after stabbing two people in south London attack is named as Sudesh Amman, 20, who was freed just days ago after serving jail term for distributing extremist material,” by James Fielding, Danyal Hussain, Jemma Carr and Raven Saunt, Mailonline, February 3, 2020:
The terrorist shot dead by police after stabbing two people in Streatham on Sunday was automatically released from prison just a few days ago, after serving less than half of a three year-plus sentence for 13 terror offences.
‘Knife-obsessed’ Sudesh Amman, 20, went on a rampage in south London, stabbing a man in his 40s in the stomach and a female cyclist in her 50s in the back, though both survived.
It has now been revealed that Amman, from Harrow, was jailed for three years and four months in December 2018 after he pleaded guilty to possessing and distributing terrorist documents.
The then-18-year-old fantasised about carrying out a terror attack with a blade or with acid while riding a moped and also shared Al Qaeda propaganda on a WhatsApp group used by his family.
After being jailed for his offences, he was automatically released just a few days ago, after serving half of his sentence, despite authorities being concerned that he still held extremist views.
Today, while being under active police surveillance and ‘very stringent licencing conditions’, he launched a horrific knife rampage in Streatham, south London, leaving one man in a life-threatening condition, though he later recovered.
Wearing a fake suicide vest, Amman stole a £3.99 blade from a convenience store and stabbed the man, in his 40s, in the stomach before knifing a female cyclist, in her 50s, in the back.
Armed police were on the scene within minutes, having been following him because they suspected he was going to launch a terrorist attack imminently. After he failed to stop, Amman was shot dead outside a Boots chemist.
After the rampage, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the government would announce further plans for ‘fundamental changes to the system for dealing with those convicted of terrorism offences’ on Monday.
A Whitehall source claimed he was released despite concerns because the law didn’t give them the power to keep him in jail.
Another woman received minor injuries in today’s attack, believed to have been caused by flying glass following a police gunshot.
Officers are thought to have called for back-up in a panic after seeing Amman steal the knife before launching his attack, reportedly yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’.
In the rush to get there, one police car crashed into a driveway on a residential street a mile away.
The Whitehall source insisted that Amman had been under constant surveillance following his early release from prison just days ago.
Before being jailed in 2018, Amman asked his girlfriend to kill her parents because they were ‘kuffar’ and wrote about how his goal was to be a martyr.
His stash of manuals on bomb making, knife fighting and close combat included the titles Bloody Brazilian Knife Fighting and How to Make A Bomb In Your Kitchen.
The North West London College student jotted down how to make explosives in a notebook and was planning a terrorist attack in Queensbury, northwest London, during Skype chats.
Amman posted a link to a pdf copy of the ‘Inspire’ magazine focusing on the idea of the ‘Lone Jihad’ in a family WhatsApp group in January this year, exposing children as young as 11 to extremist material.
The document contained an article about ‘the successful pressure cooker bomb’ and provided detailed instructions on how to maximise casualties through the use of IEDs.
After he was jailed, Alexis Boon, head of the Met Police counter-terrorism command, said: ‘His fascination with dying in the name of terrorism was clear in a notepad we recovered from his home.’
At the time of his trial, prosecutor Kelly Brocklehurst said: ‘The defendant had discussed with his family, friends and girlfriend his strong and often extreme views on jihad, the kuffar, and his desire to carry out a terrorist attack.
‘Much of his fascination with conducting an attack was focused on using a knife but reference was also made to committing acid attacks on mopeds.
‘The Crown contends that the defendant’s interest in Islamic extremism and Daesh in particular is more than a mere immature fascination with the taboo and with graphic violence. He is clearly someone with sincerely held and concerning ideological beliefs which motivate him to collect and disseminate such material.
‘For example, he is seen telling his girlfriend in online chat how he has declared a pledge to Islamic State and wishes to purge society and carry out acid attacks. Elsewhere he is seen telling her he prefers the idea of a knife attack over use of bombs.’
A Whitehall source said this evening: ‘He was under surveillance, that is what allowed police to do their job so quickly. It could have been much worse than it was….

We are committing suicide, driven by a warped sense of political correctness to let these people out of prison. It turns my stomach to see what Muslims are getting away with today. Why should we allow this to happen when we are in a position to get tough with these savages?

The British prison system could provide deprogramming courses for jihadists, and give these convicts this voluntary option in pursuit of a reduced sentence, but they are not doing so. Nothing is being done to lessen the radicalization of convicted terrorists.
To the contrary, British prison officials are giving these convicts the ability to become even more radicalized during incarceration.
This must be changed. Smoking is legal in Western countries, but most of these countries DISCOURAGE SMOKING.
Islam is legal, but governments should disseminate literature, films and adverts that discourage Islamic terrorism.
Iambob says
I have no sympathy for fools. Whatever happens in the UK is their problem-they brought it on themselves. Fools!
FYI says
Yes.That is true.
They CHOSE this path:both Blair{labor} and Cameron{tory} were instrumental in promoting this insane mass islamic immigration policy with the results we see.
The French voted for macron,the Germans for merkel,the swedes for their treasonous political leaders:all subscribe to that insane pro mass islamic immigration policy that is resulting in DAILY murders and assaults [not forgetting rapes}on the citizens of their countries.
I used to think Treason was a terrible crime that deserved to be punished with the full weight of the Law:it seems many of the political leaders of these nations are guilty of this treachery,this betrayal of their own people.
High Treason!
Barguest says
‘Deprogramming’ for jihadists? I have a more effective solution: it involves a length of hempen rope. Though, sadly, it’s too much to hope for that Boris Johnson’s ‘fundamental changes’ will include that particular expedient.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
At the very least, the korans that are provided to muslims in prison should have ALL violent passages removed.
I’m all for “deprogramming”, but is very likely that it would have to be “forced” – I don’t think they would be many volunteers…
Giacomo Latta says
I’m all for handing out blank sheets to muslim prisoners too. They can spend their time drawing what they think Mohammed looks like.

Mortimer, you know that the London Bridge Jihadist got out early because he was involved in a “deprogramming” program. We all saw how well *that* went.
Michael Copeland says
It is an encouraging surprise that at his trial the prosecutor spoke of the accused’s “strong and often extreme views on jihad, the kuffar”. Maybe that is a first – jihad and kuffar – cited in a court of law.
“He is clearly someone with sincerely held and concerning ideological beliefs”, the prosecutor added.
Yes, and those beliefs have a name – Islam.
That, for the benefit of the legal profession, is ordinary basic Islam, not any “ism”, not any “misunderstanding”, not any “extreme interpretation”. As Erdogan says, “Islam is Islam, and that is that”.
The sooner the dots can be connected by law enforcement the better. The legal profession has a long Learning Curve to climb.

“As Erdogan says, “Islam is Islam, and that is that”.”
And Erdogan is correct. I have stopped all prefixes / suffixes to the word islam. I also have stopped capitalizing the word in order to emphasize my contempt for this pure evil religious ideology.
There may be “moderate” muslims, but there is no “moderate” or “radical” islam. Just plain-vanilla islam…

This act of terror will, hopefully, bring the authorities to their senses. British PM Johnson has indicated that his government will ensure that sentences for terrorists are increased, that they serve the full sentence and will have strict conditions placed on them after completion of their sentence.
This is not perfect, but at least it is a step in the right direction. Now we need other western countries to follow with similar or more harsh changes.
Personally I would like to see the death penalty restored for acts of terror in which lives are taken and life sentences without a chance of parole for such acts that result in grievous bodily harm to people who are innocent bystanders.
Police and security forces should be given shoot to kill orders where there is a good possibility of a terror suspect being prevented form committing, or who is directly involved in, an act of terror that has the immediate potential to result in grievous bodily harm or death to innocent civilians. Stop them before the can cause damage instead of waiting until they have acted and peoples lives are destroyed.
The only thing terrorists understand and respect is a will to act and the fortitude to follow through with preventive measures.

I salute you for telling it like it is. If this was the best British law permitted by way of incapacitating this guy, then British law needs some changes, fast. I wish I were an optimist like you and mortimer.

WPM says
Many or most police in England are still not armed with guns. Look at all the resources used to surveillance under” very stringent licencing conditions” while this mad dog walks the streets. He steals a knife worth less the 15 American dollars and goes Jihad .The police got in a car accident trying to stop him how far away were they that they needed a car to get to the scene of the stabbings?” Offices are though to have called for backup in a panic after seeing Amman steal a knife before launching his attack, reportedly yelling “Allah Akbar” the backup team crash the police car when the responded more then a mile away? Were the officers armed that were following him ? How many officers resources can be used surveillance these mad dogs so they can walk the streets?

Another example of the stunning ignorance and stupidity of the British justice system. Even a jackass will not fall into the same hole twice.
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations ,as in the United Kingdom and her cities as London and Manchester or be the Muslim terrorists in the other cities of the different nations of Europe as Strasbourg, Stockholm, ,Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military.
For the violent Muslims who are jihadists will only understand the language violent force since that their mindset because the jihadists are men of deadly violence . Of course they are that way because of the religion which is Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran instructs in 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
Such vicious and ruthless instruction found in the Qu ‘ran reflects the malice-filled words spoken by the Muslim cleric.
elee says
And who is investigating the imams who got paid to further weaponise this dolt? Has this occurred yet to anyone in charge there? Who is investigating the genius who decided this violent cult should be encouraged as part of criminal rehabilitation? A wrongful death has occurred, and it didnt happen in a vacuum. Hold these imams and their mosques and purported charitable foundations criminally and civilly liable……for an overdue change.

Yes, I just heard this. Moreover, he was released early, despite being in prison for jihad crimes.
Suicidal insanity.

Islam in the UK.
1)Raping white children and women.
2)Collecting Jizha Tax from the Kaffir(robbing non-believers).
3)Waging Jihad against the Kaffir.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya’ (army-unit) setting out in Allah’s Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.
