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

UK: Muslim Uber driver who plotted Gay Pride jihad attack and “gun and knife rampage” jailed for life, i.e. 25 years

Jul 12, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A former Muslim Uber driver who plotted to drive into an “evil” Gay Pride parade and go on a “gun and knife rampage at busy London tourist sites has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years.”

The Qur’an condemns homosexuality, and many Islamic countries still uphold the death penalty for gays.

“And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)

“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

As usual, gay rights activists have been silent.

Chowdhury’s trial revealed that he “had been consuming jihadist sources and propaganda since his release from prison in late 2018, including speeches by ideologues Anwar al-Awlaki and Sheikh Abdallah al-Faisal; manuals for jihad; and ISIS videos, publications and social media posts.” He “bragged” about “deceiving a jury which cleared him of a sword attack on police outside Buckingham Palace at a previous trial at the Old Bailey in December 2018.”

Nonetheless, the UK’s Independent tried to blame Robert Spencer and David Wood for this man’s decision to engage in violent jihad.

In reality, Chowdhury had “dreams of martyrdom.”

“Uber driver who plotted attacks at Pride and Madame Tussauds jailed for life,” by Jen Mills, Metro News, July 9, 2020:

A former Uber driver who plotted a gun and knife rampage at busy London tourist sites has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years.

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 29, planned to target Madame Tussauds, the gay Pride parade and an open-top sightseeing bus, using a gun, knife and van, last year.

He was said to be driven by ‘dreams of martyrdom’, and was arrested three days before the Pride parade in summer 2019 after he unknowingly revealed his plans to undercover police officers.

Chowdhury, from Luton, bragged to them about deceiving a jury which cleared him of a sword attack on police outside Buckingham Palace at a previous trial at the Old Bailey in December 2018.

But the jury at a separate subsequent trial found him guilty of terror offences in February, little more than a year later. Chowdhury was handed the life sentence at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday.

Appearing in court wearing a grey tracksuit and face mask, he was sentenced for convictions of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts, collecting information likely to be useful to someone preparing an act of terrorism and disseminating terrorist publications.

Sentencing, Judge Andrew Lees said he was satisfied that Chowdhury was ‘dangerous’ and posed ‘a significant risk to members of the public of serious harm’.

He said: ‘The danger that you present is ongoing, it’s not possible to say when that danger will abate.’ Four covert officers, posing as like-minded extremists, befriended and monitored Chowdhury after he was freed from HMP Belmarsh when jurors cleared him in December 2018 of slashing police with a sword outside the Queen’s London home while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’.

Within a week of his release he had begun posting extremist messages online…..

    Send him to prison where there is not one other Islamic prisoner——–I don’t see why he should be imprisoned in the UK because we are paying for his upkeep for the foreseeable future—-Islam call this The Jizya there are gangs of them in our Prisons——Prisons are full up with large populations of Islamists who want to take our land and destroy everything we have built up our Heritage will be gone!

    Convicted jihadists should be offered a complete course in de-Islamization designed to destroy the possibility of belief in the Koran. Once Muslims understand that the Koran is of human origin, they are no longer a jihad threat to anyone.

      mortimer,

      With all respect, you’re assuming that muslims like Mohiussunnath Chowdhury have the intellectual capacity – and internal desire – to even follow the logic involved in in de-islamization.

      I hope that I am wrong, but I have my doubts…

      mortimer, a good idea. Does such a course exist, and has if so, has it been successful? I would say the answer to both questions is ‘no’. Maybe muslims should be made to watch David Wood videos back-to-back. That should keep him busy for a few months!
      Jay Smith went to Speakers Corner with over 23 different versions of the Koran. That upset a lot of muslims, who are convinced there is only ONE version.

      Sadly, and to the world’s detriment there are too many “mortimers” imbedded in the system. To sincerely believe that a course can change one’s belief system when talking islam is profoundly stupid, and expensive on the sane non-islamic world. Once a sane person reads the koran they recognise the perversity of it, something which cannot be said of islam’s devotees.

        I have tried to point out this fact to @mortimer, but it makes no difference. He repeats his claim like a prayer. That seems ironic considering he is an atheist, but we are all human and vulnerable to delusion. As Muslims persist in their delusiof of Islam, mortimer persists in his delusion that they would leave it if only the knew the Koran is of human origin. The Bible is also of human origin, but that does not stop Jews and Christians from believing..

      The government dare not put it to a referendum. They know what would happen.

    @mortimer, you persist in making this counterfactual claim, sometimes going so far as to say Muslims would “immediately” abandon the hateful fraud of Islam if only they knew the Koran was of human origin. People have asked you for evidence, but you have never provided any. To the contrary, these ‘de-Islamization’ programs tend to backfire and/or fail, and we have certainly seen lethal Islamic terror attacks perpetrated by Muslims who had been ‘rehabilitated’ e.g. Usman Khan.

    Most Christians and Jews know the Bible is of human origin, but that fact does not stop them from believing in it. To the contrary, they (mis)interpret every nice thing they see as ‘evidence’ that it must be true. Books written by people can in fact turn out to be true, whether due to ‘divine inspiration’ or mere coincidence or insight into human nature or contradicting themselves so many times that selective reading can always find a few true statements amid a haystack of blatant falsehoods.

    Muslims see western countries paying to import them, paying jizya to support them, and Britain paying extra dole to polygamous Muslims (but not non-Muslims) and even offering up its own daughters to be raped by Muslim rape gangs. Surely, you can imagine how Muslims would see these facts as “proof” that Allah is the best deceiver and the Koran must be true no matter who wrote it.

    I write that the sun will rise in the east every day next year, the fact of my humanity is not a reason to disbelieve me.

    • David says

      Jul 13, 2020 at 9:45 am

      @ curious: I think many would dispute your assertion; “Most Christians and Jews know the Bible is of human origin” Whereas this is most likely: Most muslims believe the Koran is truly the word of Allah.

      • curious says

        Jul 22, 2020 at 4:24 am

        @David, both the Old Testament and the New Testament name expressly human authors, for example Old Testament Samuel and Isaiah, and New Testament Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

        Debate continues as to whether Moses and Paul lived as humans, and the writings attributed to Paul (if he lived and wrote them) suggest that he believed Jesus did not live as a corporeal human, but believers insist that all of these lived as humans.

    The only radicalized Muslims which we can be sure that they were deradicalized are the one in Streatham and the ones of London Bridge.
    I have seen indoctrination functioning in Argentina against the UK and it is terrible of a fascist nature, but Muslim indoctrination is in another league and involves hours, days and months of school time in infancy, some times all infancy is dedicated only to religious indoctrination, only an arrogant Marxist traitor would release a human programmed in that way on to our free society in England. It is time England reciprocates! Boris wants to learn lessons.. how many times should the same lesson be repeated Boris?
