Norway: Son of Muslim migrants arrested for plotting to bomb St. Paul’s Cathedral in London

Mar 27, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“I always know I wanted to do something big… .killing one kafir (infidel) is not enough for me”

Where did Safiyya Shaikh and her Norway-based partner get this idea? Why do those who — we are constantly told — misunderstand the Religion of Peace all misunderstand it in exactly the same way?

“Somali-Norwegian Muslim arrested for planning to bomb St Paul’s Cathedral in London,” Voice of Europe, March 23, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A 23-year-old “Norwegian” from Skien who was born to Somali parents has been accused of planning to bomb St. Paul’s Cathedral in London together with a woman living in the UK.

The plan wasn’t hatched by some a pagan Norse Viking looking to attack Christians like what was commonly seen in centuries past; instead, the bombing was planned by a man who – according to his lawyer – believes in the Quran and aims to be a good Muslim, Document Norway reports.

The 23-year-old was arrested by the Police Security Service (PST) on September 5th, 2019 and was imprisoned the following day. Authorities have referred to the suspected terrorist as a “Norwegian citizen” and from Telemark, a region in Norway.

“Based on the material we seized and reviewed, we believe that he may be suspected of having participated in the terror organization Islamic State,” said police lawyer Bjørn Thune.

According to PST, the suspect had planned to carry out a terror attack against St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The plans have been discussed by the British press; however, according to Norwegian newspaper Nettavisen, the connection to Norway wasn’t known until just recently.

The man who is a Norwegian citizen is said to have grown up in Skien in Telemark and was born in Norway to Somali parents….

Later, the charge was extended to address his participation in the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS). He is also accused of having destroyed evidence in a terror case in progress in Denmark, according to Nettavisen….

He stands accused of having planned to bomb St. Pauls Cathedral together with a 36-year-old British woman whose name is Safiyya Amira Shaikh, but who was born Michelle Ramsden. Ramsden is said to have converted to Islam in 2007.

On February 21st, 2020, the 23-year-old Somali-Norwegian’s co-defendant, Safiyya Amira Shaikh, admitted to planning the terror attack at Old Bailey in London, stating that the goal was to kill as many people as possible in a suicide bomb attack on St. Paul.

The facts divulged in the courtroom were not opened to the public, but according to the prosecution’s case summary, Safiyya Shaikh stated that her main goal was to kill as many people as possible in a suicide attack at St Paul’s.

In an encrypted chat with an undercover officer last August, Safiyya said that she would “rather die young and get to Jannah (paradise) quickest way possible”.

“I always know I wanted to do something big… .killing one kafir (infidel) is not enough for me”, Safiyya said….

    She could have chosen to believe she could get to Paradise by living a long life of doing good for other people but, no, that way takes too long. It’s much faster to kill a bunch of people. What a selfish and perverse way of looking at the world. But it is the way Muhammad saw it .. and it’s completely sick. Islam is one sick religion.

      Of course, in Islam you don’t get to paradise by doing good deeds and helping people–just by murdering innocent people. *Ugh*

    Who gave THE WEST permission to make it diverse. We were never asked, we never voted for this. All these problems(& will get worse) would not exist had we not done this social experiment.

    Received information about rebelnews.com up in Canada still allowing illegals enter Canada during a pandemic(they’re not checked for Coronavirus).
    EXCLUSIVE: “Do you even care?” — Mounties STILL letting migrants enter Canada illegally, despite coronavirus By Keean Bexte March 13, 2020. From rebel news.com. I suppose it’s good for us since they’re leaving USA, however, turning Canada into a 3rd world country means we’ll b sandwiched w/Mexico.

    Just a Muslim being a good Muslim. Just glad they were stopped in time.

    ……………………..

    Just think of all the big dreams people have, realized or not–exploring Mars, creating great art, curing the Coronavirus. But with pious Muslims it is always about slaughtering the largest numbers of innocent people.

    God, I hate Islam.

      Indeed, gravenimage. Islam is a culture of death, an enemy of liberty and opposed to creativity, excellence and the pursuit of happiness. Islam really, really sucks.

      That borderless Schengen arrangement sure works well for terrorists in the EU. They can plan the act in any of 26 nations and travel to the target unobstructed.

      Our Norwegian/Somali fiend (sorry about the typo – ‘friend’) isn’t being very original when he says he wants to bomb St. Paul’s. Hitler tried that about 80 years ago and didn’t get very far. I suppose it’s a case of ‘Nazi minds think alike’; maybe he was inspired by those famous WW2 pictures of St. Paul’s dome surrounded by destruction and devastation. Funny how some people can only destroy to make their mark; they’re too stupid to invent, improve or repair things, so they destroy (‘Destruction is a form of creation’ – of you’re a congenital idiot). It seems to go along with the islamic fixation on death. For them the Universe is one big breaker’s yard because they’ll never have any clue about putting anything together.

        “Funny how some people can only destroy to make their mark; they’re too stupid to invent, improve or repair things, so they destroy”

        Interesting point, I never thought of violent and destructive behavior from this angle…

        Jayell and James, here is a salient quote from Winston Churchill:

        “To build may be the slow and laborious task of years, to destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day”

        How much worse yet is *deliberate* destruction, which Islam is dedicated to?

    Will Michelle Ramsden now come to her sense and come out of her trance? She is a terrorist who just ruined her entire life because of joining that Death Cult.

    Michelle Ramsden, Anglo-Saxon jihadist.

    Michelle Ramsden’s case was heard by Mr. Justice Sweeney. He was the judge of Lee Rigby’s killers. He is not acquainted with Sharia law, and thinks Islam is a religion of peace. He told them:

    “You each converted to Islam some years ago. Thereafter you were radicalised and each became an extremist — espousing a cause and views which, as has been said elsewhere, are a betrayal of Islam and of the peaceful Muslim communities who give so much to our country.”

    “You know nothing about Islam!”, shouted Mujahid Abu Hamza (Michael Adebolajo).

    Isn’t it wonderful how the highlight of their life is to do mass murder of people they don’t know. Boy if that doesn’t tell you there is something totally wrong with Islam and Mohammad’s so called “religion” nothing will. Islam is nothing short of brainwashing of persons to get them to do violent actions on behalf of a sociopath. This is not a religion it is a form of cult that benefits it leadership at the total cost of it followers.
