MI5 was probably too busy making sure that foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women didn’t enter the country to divert valuable resources to something as trivial as stopping a jihad mass murderer. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Manchester bomber visited jailed jihadist before attack,” by Charlotte Wace and Duncan Gardham, The Times, September 10, 2020:
The Manchester Arena terrorist had been at the deathbed of a suspected extremist preacher four months earlier, the inquiry into the bombing was told.
It also emerged yesterday that MI5 had been aware that Salman Abedi had visited an extremist in prison but did not reopen an investigation into him.
Paul Greaney, QC, counsel to the inquiry, said on the final day of the opening hearing that he was “very conscious that the issue of preventability is of acute interest to the families and public at large”.
The hearing was told of links between Abedi, 22, and Mansoor al-Anezi, a preacher who had previously been arrested and interviewed over his “close association” with Nicky Reilly, a failed suicide bomber. He had led prayers…

I think it’s become a “Be careful what you look for, you might not like what you find” sort of thing. If they “investigate” to thoroughly, they might have to deal with it, and that might get unpleasant at best. The thinking now seems to be all in hoping to be eaten last. Good luck with that, UK.

There is ,no doubt , enough blame to go around in the House of Islam for that murderous jihad terror attack at the concert at Manchester totally cruel and despicable. This heinous Islamic of mass murder is so extremely evil , so evil , in fact, this is mass murdering of young people ,most of them girls also has a strong vicious element of misogyny to it. Misogyny, as most informed people do understand, is very much part of the essence of Islam. Along with the brutal deadly violence of this religion. This Muslim /terrorist bombing is not as some claim as result of a warped version of Islam but hard core non-watered down Quran based Islam. For example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:123 “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…” It’s thus very easy for a jihad minded Muslim show harshness to young girls who are not Muslims by exploding and bomb .This sure can be harsh This wicked action was the outcome of the deadly cruel religion which is Islam.
Sylvia Drummond says
Religion? It is a disease.
Walter Sieruk says
We should not forget that hideous and evil Islamic terrorist bombing in the city in Manchester, England was totally evil. This not as some claim a result of a “hijacked Islam” but actual violent Quran based jihad Islam. This Muslim suicide /homicide bombing is on the Quran as ,for example , in Sura 9:111 it teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s cause they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” Furthermore, in Sura 47:4. it also instructs “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it , setting off a bomb murdering young are who are not Muslims is a very effective way to “make greater slaughter among them.” In conclusion, the religion of Islam is actually a death cult.

there are many Muslim countries I would much rather live that in the islamic hellhole that is the UK
gravenimage says
Actually, as bad as the UK is, actual Muslim countries are even worse. That’s what Muslims want to turn the UK into.
LB says
Yest, but the difference is shrinking daily as the UK descends further and further into islamic submission. The only ones who have it good in the UK are muslims.

Grimly true, LB.

Why are these poisonous bastards allowed visitors? Hey Brits, you think maybe that ought to change? Imprison, isolate and quarantine.

The Brits think that if they are nice to Muslims, they will be spared when the Islamic take-over of the UK happens, which will be within the next three years. As Lenin’s “useful idiots” found, they are the first to be beheaded.
john smith says
No Crusader, most Brits don’t think this way I can assure you, we just have the wrong people in Parliament. Maybe we are to far down the road of no return, but the tide is slowly turning.
Anyway thank you for cheering me up, about my beheading.

“The Brits think that if they are nice to Muslims, they will be spared when the Islamic take-over of the UK happens….”
Let’s hope not. I think it’s probably more to do with the infamous ‘Post-Imperial-Guilt’, ‘You’re-a-Better-Man-then-I-Gunghar Dhin’ (Rudyard Kipling) syndrome that’s been endemic amongst the so-called ‘liberal intelligentsia’ over the last 60 or so years and promoted by the educational establishment and most of the MSM (especially the BBC). So why did this all happen?
The underlying cause for all this was the large-scale post-WW2 Commonwealth immigration when it soon became apparent that all these new citizens didn’t exactly conform with the established ‘British’ profile (probably didn’t know anything about it and weren’t interested anyway). So. to counter the inevitable opposition from the home crowd, the Powers-that-be decided to pass a few ‘persuasive’ laws and promote the brave new social status quo by pushing the line that these were all ‘jolly good chaps’ who were making a ‘splendid contribution’ to the country. And then they had to invent the ‘multicultural society’ (actually a ridiculous oxymoron) when it became obvious that the newcomers and the home crowd predictably had radically different ideas about what a ‘splendid contribution’ was supposed to be – or even what the ‘society’ was supposed to be.
The result? A fragmented mess, with the Authorities frantically papering over the cracks with fanciful propaganda about the ‘joys of diversity’ backed up by gross fabrications about the ‘Evil British Empire’ and the ‘virtues of islam’ (ignoring Christianity, of course), whilst simultaneously sweeping any inconvenient criminal contamination under the carpet (aided and abetted by certain wealthy foreign agencies) for as long as they think they can get away with it.
So it’s not really a case of being ‘nice to Muslims’ in order to be ‘spared when the Islamic take-over of the UK happens’. It’s just been one enormous institutional cop-out.
DavidR says
Almost every Muslim is a victim of Islam. It’s the chip on their shoulder they can’t shake off. Muhammad’s lies just keep on creating these pathetic little garden fairies who never for a second care about humanity much less the lives of girls. They do love death more than life, because living as a “true” Muslim means no more fun, no more joy for just being alive.

UK: Manchester jihad mass murderer visited jailed jihadi before attack, but MI5 did not bother to open investigation
……………
Could UK officials have stopped this horrifying attack? Will they even ask themselves this question?

“Could UK officials have stopped this horrifying attack? Will they even ask themselves this question?”
They likely will not.
That would require a “root cause analysis” – which they are afraid to do because of what it would likely uncover.

Sadly true.

We should not and must not forget that heinously wicked Islamic terrorist bombing in the city of Manchester, England is based on the “holy book” of Islam the Quran . As such brutal, vicious deadly violence is sanction and taught in the Quran. As found in, for example, Sura 5:33. 9:5, 111,123. 47:4. There are some naive Westerners who might be shocked to find this out and the wonder and then ask “Just who can those jihad –minded Muslim being so very religious ,also be so extremely heartless ,unfeeling, brutal and murderous to kill as to murder all those girls coming out of that concert in Manchester ?” The answer that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible reveals there are some men who are so very cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron” First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V.] The “hot iron” in this case is Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
That brutal and heinous jihadist /Muslim in the city of Manchester, England who murderous so many young girls coming out of the concert as completely demonic and murderous in his deluded and wicked Islamic quest of the jihad This his vicious suicide /homicide jihad bombing attack against those young people was actually behaving in accord to the instruction of the “holy book “ of Islam, the Quran. Which instructs in for example Sura 9:111. “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” After that murderous jihadist died he had discovered, to his shock and horror, the promise of a paradise with many houris , as the Quran teaches 44:54. 55:56. 78:31., for the dead jihadist was an outright lie and a total falsehood . For that Muslim terrorist found this out the hard way because after he dies he found himself trapped and suffering in the fires of hell .Such as the Bible describes in for example, Luke 13:28. 16:19-31.The Bible also teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.[K.J.V.]
Furthermore, in the Bible book of Revelation in 21:8 it gives a list of the people who will end up terribly suffering without end . As in forever in that awful place , and one of those persons in that Lake of Fire are people on that list who are murderers. In short, that murderous jihadist is the real loser and he now understand that he was wrong. Very wrong and that he had committed the evil of mass murder because he place his faith in a false religion.
Walter Sieruk says
That cruel callous malicious and murderous jihad suicide/homicide bombing in the city of Manchester England which was so very tragic that it resulted the murder of many young girls is a despicable as it’;s also evil . It’s very heinously demonically evil.
Its a brutal and harsh reminder that many times the jihadist members of different Islamic terror entities, as those of ISIS, have gathered together and chanted the words “We love death, they love life.” Likewise those jihadist/Muslims don’t stop with those awful words; they carry through with jihad suicide/homicide attacks. Any sane person would ask “Why do those jihad –minded Muslims have such a mindset of murderous madness?” The answer is that they obtain the way of thinking and believing from the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran. As some people call it the Qu ‘ran.
For example the Koran in Sura 9:111 instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Therefore it may be conclude that Islam is actually a death cult.
In great and wonderful contrast to the death cult which is Islam there is Christianity which is centered on Jesus and His teachings. For Jesus did not teach killing and death but taught and gave life, a good peaceful well lived life and more. For example Jesus declared “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. [K.J.V.]

That murderous and demonically wicked suicide//homicide bombing that resulted in tragic murder of many young girls in the city of Manchester England was totally evil.
That jihadist bomber, as well as many other similar jihadist bombers commit Islamic action of death and destruction because they have a strong and firm yet blind and unquestioning belief in that Islamic doctrine from the Qu. ‘ran ,as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies killing for the cause of Islam in the jihad. Those who come out of those places, mosque and madrassas, of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations”
The Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…”
Furthermore, many a times a jihad –minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipedream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]
