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

UK: Woman converts to Islam, plots jihad bombing of St. Paul’s Cathedral, says “I want to kill a lot”

Feb 22, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Cue the BBC’s latest report on “Islamophobia.” Authorities have shown again and again and again that they have no interest whatsoever in the all-too-frequently recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam turning to treason and mass murder. This article shows yet again how foolish and short-sighted they are: “Shaikh converted to Islam in 2007 after being impressed by the kindness of her Muslim neighbours but later became isolated and apparently rejected mainstream Islam.”

Is that so? And why did she reject “mainstream Islam”? Why were her kind Muslim neighbors unable to bring her back to the true, peaceful Islam and convince her of the falsity of the twisted, hijacked version that she was buying into?

Neither “journalists” nor law enforcement officials ever ask such questions, or ponder their implications. That’s why we’re in the fix we’re in.

“St Paul’s bomb plot: IS supporter Safiyya Shaikh pleads guilty,” Reuters, February 21, 2020:

A supporter of the banned Islamic State terror group has admitted plotting to blow herself up in a bomb attack on St Paul’s Cathedral.

Muslim convert Safiyya Shaikh went on a reconnaissance trip to scope out the London landmark and a hotel.

The 36-year-old, born Michelle Ramsden, was arrested after asking an undercover police officer to supply bombs.

At the Old Bailey, Shaikh, of west London, admitted preparing an act of terrorism and will be sentenced in May.

She was considered such a threat that MI5 made her the highest-level priority for investigation in the weeks before her arrest, according to Whitehall security sources.

It meant she was subject to a level of surveillance reserved for only the most dangerous potential attackers.

Over the two months before her arrest in October 2019, Shaikh built up a relationship with two undercover officers who were posing as a husband and wife extremist team.

She messaged one of them via an encrypted social media app.
‘Bomb under the dome’

“I want to kill a lot,” she told the officer. “I would like to do church… a day like Christmas or Easter good, kill more.

“I always send threats. But I want to make threats real.”

She sent a picture of St Paul’s Cathedral to the officer and wrote: “I would like to do this place for sure.

“I would like bomb and shoot ’til death… I really would love to destroy that place and the kaffir there.”

Shaikh converted to Islam in 2007 after being impressed by the kindness of her Muslim neighbours but later became isolated and apparently rejected mainstream Islam.

She began to court the extremist violent ideology of IS and other jihadist groups and by 2016 Shaikh stopped attending mosques….

    The Nazis tried that in WWII and failed, what makes this little slave of Allah think she’d succeed? Of course, then, the Britain was a proud nation led by the likes of Churchill that did not shrink from the challenge of savages who intended its destruction. Today she could probably pick up the plans to the place from their little lord Muslim mayor, who would probably characterize any attempt to keep her from climbing into the dome with a bomb as “Islamophobia”.

      So she had been totally corrupted and criminalised by islam. Or was she a bit that way beforehand and islam validated it all for her? Either way, it’s proof of islam”s corrupting influence on society.

    A Woman converts to Judaism or Christianity:

    “I better obey those Exodus 20 laws as the Bible insists and which does not give me permission to violate”
    No need to change my name or wear a bag on my head in honor of the Actual God YHWH: A God who does not teach that women are inferior and worthless.

    I have no permission to ,and no excuse, to break God’s official Laws given in the Bible{Torah+Gospel}in Exodus 20 along with the 2 chief laws of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Lev19:18

    {Jew or christian you are obliged to follow the official laws given in the Torah.These laws ,the Exodus 20+2 chief laws,are the SAME for both Judaism and Christianity since the commandment system given to Moses was carried forward from the Torah into the Gospel..}

    A Woman converts to islam:

    “I want to kill a lot as the ‘holy’ koran insists and conveniently gives me permission to”
    Name change to some silly Arab one …and must wear a bag on my head in honor of al lah the misogynistic ARAB god who hates women,teaches they are HALF the value of a muslim man{k2:282} due to what muhammed said was the “deficiency of the woman’s mind”{Sahih Bukhari 2658}and who sends most muslimas to hell anyway{Sahih Muslim 241}for the terrible sin of being ungrateful{Takfurna}.

    I have permission to violate ,and an excuse to break God’s official Laws given in the Bible because the god of islam al LAH{“the GREATEST of deceivers” k3:54} whose enemy is a man called the King Of Kings{Sahih Muslim vol 5 hadith #5611} gives me that freedom with the Exodus20-violating teachings of his ‘holy’ koran.

    {If allah was the same as the Biblical God the laws would be the same but they are not.
    The koran’s teachings are the law of the Jungle:permission to murder k2:191,steal k48:20 etc}

    Wise people stay away from islam
    Sensible people leave it
    Smart people see through it.

    Fools convert to it:
    You reap what you sow!You chose that false path.

    This is the more reprehensible, dangerous and educational sort of Muslim. She is reprehensible because she has nourished her own sociopathic poison on her own, distilled it to its most evil essence, and found her affinity in (mainstream,pedigreed) Islam, which I consider a lot more evil than being lobotomised-in-slow-motion by beatings and memorisation of their evil scriptures. She is more dangerous than the cullturally brainwashed native Muslim, her terrorist compadres probably played heavily on her ethnic and cultural ability to pass as a kafir, and because Islamic atrocities are actually more likely to be committed by converts than by Muslims born inside the cullt. And she is educational, because she dramatically illustrates what Islam vectors with its sociopathic core values and commandments. Unlike so many insider Muslims, she bears the full responsibility for choosing evil, destruction and nihilism. She should, but almost certainly will not, be both imprisoned for as long as possible (no rehabilitation here, on ly incapacitation is possible) and quarantined to protect decent society.

    Jihadist’s are often the spokesmen for Dunning and Kruger. If stupid could be dumbed down then you have the makings of an adult who might possibly convert to Islam. Like the new employee trying way too hard to please the boss these people can and will behave like the most battle hardened Islamist.

    According to the feature article:

    No, she DID NOT reject mainstream Islam.

    She EMBRACED it…

    UK: Woman converts to Islam, plots jihad bombing of St. Paul’s Cathedral, says “I want to kill a lot”
    ………………….

    Gee–how did Safiyya Shaikh ever get the idea that blowing up a church and murdering innocent Infidels would please the vicious “Allah”?

    More:

    Shaikh converted to Islam in 2007 after being impressed by the kindness of her Muslim neighbours but later became isolated and apparently rejected mainstream Islam.
    ………………….

    Uh huh. Doesn’t that always happen–someone converts to a faith because their neighbors are so kind, and then turns to savage violence against unbelievers? What a lot of twaddle. If she had *really* converted because of the neighbors being kindly, she would probably just be reading the poetry of Rumi and sporting ‘colorful Hijabs’–not plotting the mass murder of Kuffar.

    Angry, fanatical, violent, bitter, hate-filled, unstable individuals seem to find a welcoming home in Islam. Does anyone have the slightest idea why that might be?

    I’m mystified, baffled, stymied. I can’t seem to put my finger on the exact cause.

    England has allowed the unfettered invasion of Muslims with no acclimation at all!! And they pay them welfare, medical, housing, etc etc !! What did they expect. ?? Muslims have destroyed many English neighborhoods, invaded schools, destroyed churches, infiltrated government, have created no-go zones,
    and numerous on going terrorist attacks.
    And they wonder how this psycho woman got indoctrinated ?? Thank goodness MI5 was involved.
    Pm Churchill is not resting easy today! And maybe the monarchy should wake up from the bubble they are living in and support English sovereignty instead of being tabloid headlines non stop ! Hopefully the new
    Pm Boris Johnson has the stamina to save England!! God save England!

    Well what do you expect when you let the mentally infirm continue to breed, you get more nuts like her. Now that sounds mean as hell but there is some truth to it. The streets of many of our cities are full of people who can’t mentally function in our society. It’s sad but true that these vary same people are easy targets for criminals and islamic jihadist to use for their activities.
