Of course! Not to forked over the cash to Usman Khan would have been “Islamophobic”! How much did Tommy Robinson get? “London Bridge terrorist Usman Khan who killed Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones ‘gets £350,000 legal aid,’” by Tiffany Lo and James Rodger, Birmingham Live, January 5, 2020: A terrorist responsible for an attack on […]
UK: Jihad preacher Anjem Choudary’s license under urgent review as photo surfaces of him with London Bridge jihadi
When Anjem Choudary was released from prison some time ago, British authorities gave the public all sorts of assurances about how he would be closely monitored. This was never going to happen in real life, but it sounded good, and kept the masses calm. Now, however, that it has become clear that he was a […]
UK: London Bridge jihad murderer was “beyond rehabilitation,” with views that were “deep and stubborn”
Gee, where could Usman Khan have picked up “deep and stubborn” views? British authorities will never, ever figure it out, but here’s a hint: “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until […]
Nothing to Worry About: London Bridge Jihadi Was Safely ‘Deradicalized’
My latest in PJ Media: London Bridge jihad murderer Usman Khan was at an event sponsored by Cambridge University Friday, a prisoner rehabilitation conference, when he suddenly decided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the “deradicalization” process: Khan stabbed Jack Merritt, 25, to death at what the Daily Mail called a “prisoner rehabilitation conference that paired […]
The London Bridge jihad attack and why “more will die”
No one welcomes bad news, but denial can lead to even more bad news. A stark example is the reality of jihad terror. Ignoring its root cause will not make it go away. The article below highlights both good news and bad news associated with the London Bridge terror attack. It applauds human resilience and […]
London Bridge jihadi’s solicitor says “deradicalization” help he got “not enough,” needed “jihadist ideology expert”
“His solicitor, Vajahat Sharif, has told the BBC that Khan repeatedly asked him for help in finding someone. Mr Sharif said he wanted a very specific jihadist ideology expert to work with his client because he feared Khan’s hate was so deeply-rooted. So while he may have received some help, his lawyer, for one, thinks […]
Video from UK: London Bridge jihad murderer says “I ain’t no terrorist”
And British authorities believed him. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268).
UK’s Guardian: London Bridge jihadi was reacting to racism, Muslims are the real victims of his massacre
“Elsewhere, court documents reveal that racism may have also played a role in radicalising Khan. They cite how Khan and others discussed bombing pubs in Stoke as a response to ‘racist incidents.’” Of course court documents “reveal” this. What they do not “reveal,” however, is why this is so. In Sunni Islamic law, defensive jihad […]
UK: Prime Minister Boris Johnson says releasing London Bridge jihad murderer from prison early was a “mistake”
No kidding, really? But what will be done to make sure this won’t happen again? What procedures will be changed? What realistic new policies regarding the jihad threat will be adopted? Nothing at all will change, of course — unless Jeremy Corbyn becomes Prime Minister, in which case Britain’s response to the jihad terror threat, […]
London’s Mayor Khan on London Bridge jihad massacre: “one of our strengths is our diversity”
“Look, I’m mayor of the greatest city in the world, and one of our strengths is our diversity….The message I want to send… is we are resolute, we stand united in the face of terrorism, and we will not allow anybody to divide us.” In saying these things, Khan is signaling that no discussion of […]
UK: London Bridge jihad murderer belonged to Muslim group that admired Hitler
No surprise here. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love […]
UK: Schoolmate of London Bridge jihadi says he turned to the Islamic State after being bullied at school
Of course, lots of people are bullied at school without turning to the Islamic State. What, oh what, could be the difference in this case? Could it be that Usman Khan read Islamic texts mandating violence against unbelievers and took them to heart? Nah, that couldn’t be it. Everyone knows that when Muslims turn to […]
Islamic State claims responsibility for London Bridge jihad massacre
There is no reason why this couldn’t be so; the Islamic State has many times called upon Muslims to murder random civilians in Western countries. If they didn’t do this one, they’ll keep trying. “Islamic State claims responsibility for London Bridge attack,” Reuters, November 30, 2019: Islamic State said the London Bridge attack on Friday […]
UK: London counterterror chief says they’re keeping “an open mind as to any motive” of London Bridge jihad murderer
Yeah, it’s a real mystery. Usman Khan was a hardened jihadi who had been imprisoned for jihad terror plotting. His motive is absolutely opaque to the terminally blinkered and willfully ignorant. Neil Basu and other British authorities of course do not wish to appear “Islamophobic.” “Terrifying new footage shows moment hero bystanders armed with a […]
UK: London jihadi stabbed man at deradicalization event, victim’s father hopes killing won’t be used as a “pretext”
“His father David said in a tweet that his son ‘would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily.’” Of course. Heaven forbid that we learn anything from experience. “London Bridge terrorist stabbed Cambridge graduate, 25, to death in rampage at prisoner rehabilitation conference […]
UK: London Bridge jihad murderer was son of Muslim migrants, wanted to bomb London Stock Exchange
But the British authorities were far too busy hounding and persecuting foes of jihad terror to take much notice of him, and when they did consider his case, they were far too committed to the dogma that Islam is a Religion of Peace to doubt that he was rehabilitated and now a trustworthy, loyal citizen. […]
UK: London Bridge jihadi left event where he was set to share his “rehabilitation” story to commit jihad murder
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268). Lord, what fools these Infidels be. “London Bridge attacker’s prior ‘terrorist’ conviction revealed as BoJo calls for ‘appropriate sentences,’” RT, November 29, 2019: The man behind the London Bridge stabbing rampage had spent time in jail for an “Islamist terrorism-related offense,” UK newspapers report, as PM Boris Johnson […]
Although considered highly dangerous, London Bridge jihadi was released from prison without parole board assessment
“Sentenced to a minimum of 8 years in prison in 2012 with a requirement that the parole board assess his danger to the public before release, he was released in December 2018 – without a parole board assessment….When sentencing Khan in 2012, Wilkie said that he was so dangerous that he was imposing a so-called […]
UK: London Bridge jihad murderer was released from prison after asking for “deradicalization” program
Deradicalization programs have been implemented elsewhere, notably in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Let’s look at how they fared. From the Jihad Watch archives: Gitmo prisoner reveals: Saudi “deradicalization program” is really a jihad training program 11 ex-Gitmo prisoners flee the Saudi “rehabilitation program” and join up with terrorist groups Jaw-dropper: 25 former Gitmo detainees “return […]
UK: London Bridge knife attacker known to cops, wore electronic tag, had links to jihad terror groups
Once again the abject failure of the British response to the jihad terror threat is illustrated, but nothing will change. The usual condemnations will be issued, the usual candlelight vigils will be held, politicians will issue the usual vows to crush terrorism, and everything will go on as before until the next jihad attack. “LIVE: […]
