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

UK: Manchester jihad bomber was on security services radar 18 times, but officials did nothing

Oct 3, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 13 Comments

This is a reflection of just how woefully and willfully ignorant British intelligence and law enforcement officials, and those officials all over the West, remain about the threat of jihad terror, and the consequences of their refusal to come to grips with its motivating ideology. MI5 likely let Salman Abedi go multiple times because politically correct miseducation had blinded them to the danger signs he was displaying.

Rather than to the security service’s failings, attention continues to be devoted far more to the “Islamophobia” subterfuge, while lives continue to be lost and as persecution and a range of human rights abuses continue.

Victims of jihad and Islamic supremacism continue “to be murdered by political correctness.”

“Manchester bomber Salman Abedi was flagged by MI5 18 times,” by Fiona Hamilton, The Times, October 1, 2020:

The Manchester bomber came to MI5’s attention at least 18 times, including for his attempts to travel to Syria and his links to Islamic State fundraisers, it emerged yesterday.

The public inquiry into the suicide attack at a pop concert in May 2017 was told that Salman Abedi, 22, had been identified associating with six MI5 “subjects of interest” [SOI], including a man previously linked to al-Qaeda who was under investigation for helping extremists to travel to Syria.

A year before Abedi killed 22 people at the Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena he had travelled to Istanbul, a well-known gateway for extremists heading to Isis territory.

A jury found Hashem Abedi, 23, guilty of 22 counts of murder, attempted murder and conspiring to cause explosions…

    we can only hope it is willful ignorance and the fear to kills one’s career. In Britain it might already be something more sinister.

    Also “woefully ignorant” are the judiciary and lawyers. Though untrained in and unacquainted with Sharia they confidently rely on assumptions which are easily shown to be erroneous. They do not take the trouble to verify them by research.

    Anyone drawing attention to the source mosque and the source texts, like Tommy Robinson, is smeared, blackened, arrested on spurious charges and generally silenced.

    Is MI5 so ignorant of Islamic ideology, and their covert agenda to conquer the world for Allah, that they would ignore such obvious warning signs? Are they so politically correct, that they dare not act for fear of being called Islamophobes? Is MI5 already infiltrated by Muslims? Or are they simply too cowardly to be an effective security force?

    But all bureaucracies are beholden to their political masters – and we know which way they have been leaning since the end of WW II. The immigration of millions of unassimilable Muslims into Britain has now resulted in a massive fifth column which intimidates British politicians to appease their every demand. Enoch Powell sounded an early warning back in 1968 in his “Rivers of Blood” speech; but the politicians did nothing.

    The useful idiots in Westminster should remember Churchill’s words: “Appeasers are like those who feed a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last”. Will they get their heads out of the sand in time to save Britain? Or are they just content to allow their country to be conquered by stealth – and become just another province of Eurabia?

      Partly there are already muslims in MI5. they must be executed and the useful idiots mostly leftist and far right must be deported from UK.
      All people from muslim countries and other European countries like Albanian, Bosnian and all those who are in European countries like France, Spain, Sweden, Norway must not come to UK

    ……………

    How many times have we heard disturbing stories like this one?

    And how many more are there like Salman Abedi out there, being tracked by security but with them doing nothing to stop their committing Jihad terror?

      gravenimage,

      So what’s the point of the UK having security services like MI5 – if they do nothing with actionable intelligence?

    Obviously, the M-15 British security “service” was not of any real service for it failed terribly 18 times.

    Furthermore, that heinous 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…”

    In addition, 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 is ,no doubt ,the M-15 British “Security ‘service; had proven itself to be useless since it had and lost 18 changes to stop that jihad mass murder bombing in Manchester .

    There much blame to go around 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.

    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 naïve 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.

    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.
