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

UK: 14-year-old boy converts to Islam, makes bombs containing shrapnel, plots jihad massacre

Jun 19, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Where did this boy learn about Islam? Who taught him? What has been taught in his mosque? Why isn’t his mosque being investigated?

Here yet again we see a convert to Islam immediately get the idea that his new religion calls for violence against unbelievers. Authorities remain wholly uninterested in investigating this recurring phenomenon.

“Boy, 14, is charged with plotting an Islamist terror attack,” by Tom Pyman, Mailonline, June 17, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A 14-year-old boy has been charged with plotting a terror attack, police said.

Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) said the teenager of Eastleigh, in Hampshire, is due to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged on Wednesday with one count of preparation of terrorist acts contrary to section 5(1)(a) of the Terrorism Act 2006 connected to Islamist terrorism….

“Muslim convert, 14, ‘made bombs containing shrapnel and recorded a martyrdom video,'” by Jack Wright, Mailonline, June 18, 2020:

A 14-year-old boy charged under the Terrorism Act allegedly made bombs in his bedroom to become an Islamic ‘martyr’, a court heard today.

The teenager, who converted to Islam this year, is accused of developing an extremist jihadist mindset in the past month.

He allegedly made devices by combining explosive substances or bleach with tinfoil and screws, and professed his wish to become a martyr in a video.

The boy, from Eastleigh, Hampshire, who cannot be named because of his age, is one of the youngest people to be charged with terrorism offences in the UK.

He was arrested by police on June 12 and charged yesterday with preparation of terrorist acts contrary to section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006 in connection with Islamist terrorism, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) said.

The youngster appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court wearing a face mask and grey tracksuit, supported by his mother, who sat in front of the dock.

He spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and age today, before indicating a not guilty plea when the charge was put to him.

The boy faces a single charge which says that on or before June 12 he engaged in conduct in preparation for giving effect to his intention to commit acts of terrorism.

Prosecutors allege he researched, prepared and made a series of devices with the aim of making homemade explosives containing shrapnel.

He is also accused of researching the making of bombs as well as filming bomb-making videos and a video of himself setting out his wish to become a martyr.

Social services became concerned after receiving a call from his mother stating he converted to Islam and recently began expressing extremist views in the last month, prosecutors said….

    Anti-terrorism laws are a complete farce as long as the ordinary connection to islam is denied by the “officials” in charge. The laws are nothing more than a sham. For every person who is caught, prosecuted and convicted, a few months in jail will do nothing to prevent a repeat, and nothing to discourage others. The law of the UK is effectively the law of islam, which enables and encourages murder of all who do not submit.

      Frank,

      You are voicing my view and to make your case stronger, is the fact that none of those arrested seem to ever serve more than half of their sentences. Once released they seem to be permitted to return from a prison where their fellow inmates further their anti-western pro-Islamic attitudes (jihad) to the unlawful social element that turned them into sub human insects in the first place.

      The plain fact is, England would rather suffer deadly violence than upset Moslems.

      • Frank Anderson says

        Rufolino, from many thousands of miles away,, I get the same impression. I am astonished at the ignorance and cowardice being displayed daily. Where is Winston Churchill? Either in person or in memory when he is so dearly needed?

        Rufolino,

        I think that the UK “leaders” believe that the current level of violence, no matter how bad it is, would be even worse if they “upset” muslims.

        Can’t have a “breach of the peace” now could we?

    Is it not clear that allowing Muslim migration to your country is a very bad policy? Most may seem peaceful but the religion is extremely not, and it only invites great risks with no benefits. People should be talking more about ending this madness.

      I agree with all you say Muslim Migration is getting in worse and these gimmiegrants the inbred non integrating scum like every other country the rats invade turn it into the shitholes they are used to pull every scam these pigs can engineer as the inbreds and followers of the Pyscho pedo conman and his filthy cult and why have not the biggest slave traders from the middle ages and still going on all over the world today in the name of Shitlam and the stupid BLM, Antifa,And Soros’s rent a mob are rioting all over the world to help the Muslim invasion started by a drug dealing robbing Thug George Floyd but in all the leftwing braindead protests and stupidity not one about the evil Mosques or defacing etc not like the leftwing scum demanding the distruction of all statues etc from these braindead leftwing snowflakes traitors to their own countries from Fake Francis down the time is coming for new Crusades to get rid of these lying thieving manipulating barbarian scum and slave traders

      Jun 20, 2020 at 5:52 am

      Yes people should be talking more, but have you tried to get your friends interested? It seems you will lose your friends, and/or they will look at you as an islamophobe (indoctrination by MSM)
      The government policy is: Say nothing against the religion of peace (it cannot possibly be as bad as you say {Sarc.})
      Hungary is leading the way, despite threats from the EU. No muslims: No terror attacks.
      Islam is not benign, like all other religions. It is a dangerous threat.

      • Frank Anderson says

        Jun 20, 2020 at 7:36 am

        David, I have no right to tell you what you should do. When people I thought were my friends proved they were not, I found that it was better to leave them and find others. Our host frequently quotes a passage that I can only paraphrase at the moment: “When the blind lead the blind both will fall.” Making yourself blind to conform to blind, ignorant, delusional and self-destructive people in order to have sham friends is self-destructive to your interests. I would have to make myself deliberately ignorant to meet the insane expectations of people I do not need.

        I can quote with confidence the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in one of its rare excellent statements: “Deliberate ignorance constitutes knowledge of the truth.” I refuse to be deliberately ignorant and willfully blind. I am not so desperate for friends that I will allow myself to be destroyed by their cowardice, treachery and collaboration.

        For what my opinion may be worth.

        • James Lincoln says

          Jun 20, 2020 at 11:59 am

          Frank, you are 100% correct.

          The problem is, you get to choose your friends but not your extended family members.

          I have a niece, for instance, who is a leftist and comes to the usual family gatherings. Most of the other members of my extended family are either centrists or classical JFK type liberals.

          I make some very light nonpolitical talk and try to leave as soon as possible without insulting anyone.

          Any other suggestions?

        • Frank Anderson says

          Jun 20, 2020 at 12:26 pm

          James, I have cut off many former “friends” and even “family” members because it was no longer beneficial to suffer their presence. There is one particular person I NEVER mention here who has not been part of my life since Christmas Day, 1994. If I can do without that relationship, all others are optional.

          Do you recall the practice in some communities where a rebellious child causes a funeral ritual? The first and most important rule of 613 is that all other rules bend as necessary for the preservation of life. And that means yours is at the top of priorities. You are no good to anyone dead or enslaved. And neither am I.

          Wasting our time, surrendering to appeasers and collaborators, bending to spineless, deliberately ignorant cowards, when we can be working to make some chance of resistance is a shame. There is better work left for us to do.

    I wonder what the actual count is of such children who’ve been brainwashed and tried to commit mass homicide in Britain. The tally would be interesting to see and present to the Press and compare it to say, every other group and then… draw some conclusions.

    The pub lic will never learn because the police- media- schools and churches will never admit there is a real problem. They are told the terrorists are not connected to Islam which is peaceful (laugh) + or its someone who has mental issues.
    If you state anything against Islam you are racist or deemed a trouble maker or worse arrested for hate speech. They will also say you are misquoting the Koran and selecting only certain verses.

    What do you expect he’s a Muslim now. I guess he was blown away by the wonderful inspirational Koran.

    This so called religion is only for the most insane people. Expect many more troubled people to join this sick cult

  6. Jayell says

    Jun 19, 2020 at 10:14 am

    The question is how this young person (whoever he is) came to convert to islam in a relatively uncontaminated place like Eastleigh – and what his parents (whoever they are) think of all this. This sort of thing normally happens in schools when muslims appear on the school roll, and they start spreading their ‘good news’ with their new friends at break and lunch times. It might be only a one or two isolated specimens, like a girl who appeared at a primary school in an outer London borough and immediately started declaring loudly that she was a muslim; in this case she just got on other pupils’ nerves and no-one apparently joined the Great Prophet’s followers. Other cases aren’t so good, as in a school in another west country provincial town where a group of male muslim pupils arrived at a secondary school and decided to form a gang called ‘The Asian Invasion’ then proceeded to live up to their name by attacking as the mood took them, including a pupil who had a claw hammer through his skull for no apparent reason. The authorities usually pretend not to notice what’s going on under their noses until it’s too late – can’t upset the minorities, can we?

    When the mosque that brainwashed this 14 year old is named and shamed and closed down, then we will know something is being done. First muslim rape gangs, now black lives matter. How long before we have had enough??

    • Frank Anderson says

      Jun 19, 2020 at 11:21 am

      bob, I make the suggestion many times, perhaps too often, to read the 200 pages of the 1000 page edition of Rise and Fall of the Third Reich covering from the end of WWI to the January 30, 1933 appointment of Hitler as Chancellor, to see what is much like what we are witnessing now.

      Reading the following chapters to the start of WWII shows what happens when the Nazis had total control and what it will look like if the “red/green alliance” takes control today. To call the descriptions ugly is gross understatement. But the same forces promoting chaos, revolution and totalitarian control in play then are active now. And WE are the targets.

      Germans had in my view (with which some disagree) 3 choices, accept the ongoing riots and chaos through the 30 or so center parties, cave to the Communists knowing their penchant for mass murder and imprisonment from the Red Revolution in Russia, or vote for the Nazis who lied about their true intentions to enslave the people in the process of ending the Communist drive for world conquest in favor of the same goals under Nazi control. ALL 3 of those choices are equally vile and repugnant to me. But where is a 4th?

      If mosk closed they will start another in one of their homes, and also avoid Council Tax by declaring it to be a place of worship, or should that be warship? The rule that a domestic dwelling can be converted or declared a mosk should be taken down.

    A new convert to a religion is on fire with religious fervor and seeks to do everything his new religion tells him to.
    He studies his new belief system in depth, more than most of the people who were born into the religion. He listens to his religious teacher and ardently puts into practice all the dogmas of his new religion that he has just adopted.

    In the case of an Evangelical Christian, the most annoying thing a new convert ever does is pester everyone with the question: “Have you been saved?” He is not likely to learn how to make pipe bombs with nails at the next prayer session.

    There is one Middle-Eastern religion in particular which promotes violence against those who are not in the religion, and is always happy to welcome a new, ignorant, gullible member into the fold and to teach him to kill non-believers.

    In an even moderately sane world, the new convert to a violent belief system would be closely monitored. But such is not the case.

    This lad from Eastleigh, Hampshire obviously read the 164 JIHAD VERSES in the Koran, believed them and decided to PRACTICE them.

    All that stuff about attacking, robbing and killing the dirty kufaar is in the Koran for a reason.

    Most Muslims have in practice REJECTED all the violence in the Koran … those Muslims who avoid and shun JIHAD are called ‘hypocrites’ by the Koran itself.

    Mohammed in the hadiths is constantly criticizing Muslims who will not FIGHT the kafirs with him.

    Aggressive jihad is thus, NORMATIVE Islam, rather than an aberration.

    If we can convince Muslims that the Koran is of human origin, they will NOT BE JIHADISTS. It’s that simple.

  10. ntesdorf says

    Jun 19, 2020 at 7:02 pm

    This young lad, after his conversion to Islam, quickly grasped the essential Nature of Islam which is hatred, intolerance, cruelty and malevolence to all non Muslims.

    There are many Madrasas running in Great Britain on the top of that in schools as well Big Fat book is a part of syllabus of religious education to teach students, What a peaceful religion is the Islam from there our generations minds are getting maligned and they are converting into Islam from the day they convert they read more about it and I do not need to mention here what do they become as a final product
    This is every parents responsibility to read the books what our kids are reading and also tell them about the brutal reality of reading outside of their faith. We need to ask the question from ourselves that where are we failing in raising them

        Perhaps it should be a specific crime to convert to islam. This is like joining a terrorist organisation. Worth a try.
