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

UK: Police consider dropping terms ‘Islamist terror’ and ‘jihadi’ to avoid offending Muslims

Jul 20, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Labeling jihadis “irhabis,” those who wage unlawful warfare, of course assumes that jihad activity goes against the teachings of Islam. Obligingly calling jihadis irhabis will prevent British authorities from being able to confront or challenge the fact that jihadis make recruits among peaceful Muslims by presenting themselves as the authentic exponents of Islamic teachings. Pretending […]

UK: Days after massacre by Libyan who wanted to join ISIS, counterterror top dog goes on BBC re “right-wing threat”

Jun 23, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Just as Richard Kemp was saying, the British government is desperate to appease Muslims by pretending that there is a “far-right” terror threat equivalent to the jihad terror threat. And even just after the murder of three people by a man who is “believed to have been on the radar of MI5 because of a tip-off […]

UK counterterror top dog: Motive of Muslim who stabbed 3 to death “far from certain,” could be mental health issues

Jun 21, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The UK government continues its long-standing pattern of downplaying jihad activity or denying it outright, and ascribing what are clearly actions of jihadists to mental illness. If Britain is to survive as a free society, which seems quite unlikely at this point, this refusal to face up to what the country is facing must be […]

UK counterterror top dog: 3000 suspected jihadis and “we simply cannot watch all of them”

Feb 9, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Why does Britain have so many suspected jihadis? Could it be that their policies of appeasement of Islamic supremacist groups and harassment of foes of jihad terror have failed miserably to blunt the appeal of jihad among Muslims in Britain? “‘We CANNOT watch them all’: Scotland Yark [sic] anti-terror chief Neil Basu says officers don’t […]

UK: London counterterror chief says they’re keeping “an open mind as to any motive” of London Bridge jihad murderer

Nov 30, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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: Counter-terrorism top dog says that the fastest-growing terror threat is from “far right”

Sep 21, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

This would be a lot easier to take seriously were it not for the fact that UK authorities routinely smear completely peaceful and accurate analyses of the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism as “far right extremism.” The situation is further complicated by the fact that so much of police time, attention and resources in Britain […]

UK: Top “anti-terror chief” blames press coverage for increased jihad terror

Sep 13, 2019 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu of the Metropolitan police force said that the ‘relentless’ reporting on extremist attacks could be promoting terrorism. Speaking at a counter-terrorism conference in Israel, Mr Basu claimed….that ‘Relentless media coverage of terrorist events is understandable given the public interest, but may exacerbate the problem.’” Covering up the deeds of jihadists and […]

UK counterterror top dog says jihad caused by lack of social mobility and Muslims shouldn’t be forced to assimilate

Aug 9, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Don’t forget that 70%-80% of the people we arrest, disrupt or commit an attack here, are born and raised here. Born or at least raised here. That has got to tell us something about our society.” No, it doesn’t. It tells you something about Islamic doctrine, and the contempt that is inculcated in all too […]

UK terror cop: High level terror threat is “new normal,” Muslims turn to jihad because they “feel disenfranchised”

Oct 11, 2018 11:13 am By Robert Spencer

Basu’s warning here that jihadis who have been prevented from going to Syria may mount jihad attacks at home is blazingly obvious; I’ve been pointing it out for years. The real news here is buried far down in the Independent’s report: “Counterterror police ‘priority’ investigations have increased by almost a third in 18 months and […]

UK: Vehicular attack at Parliament is terrorism, but “what the motive was we can’t answer at the moment”

Aug 14, 2018 12:17 pm By Robert Spencer

And probably British authorities never will be able to answer, if the answer puts the May government in an unfavorable light. “Westminster terror attack: Driver arrested after car mows down cyclists and ploughs into Parliament barrier,” by Danny Boyle, Helena Horton, Harry Yorke, and Patrick Sawer, Telegraph, August 14, 2018: A terror suspect arrested after […]

Robert Spencer video: In the UK, if you see something, you better say nothing

Apr 18, 2018 10:16 am By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss London Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu’s recent call for Britons to become “counter-terrorism citizens,” and how it contradicts the British police’s increasing focus on “Islamophobia.”

Robert Spencer: In Britain, If You See Something, You Better Say Nothing

Mar 25, 2018 2:33 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest over at the Geller Report: The new top dog of Britain’s counter-terror police has asked Britons to become “counter-terrorism citizens” by reporting suspicious activity. Given the way Britain treats foes of jihad terror, however, it’s doubtful that he means it. Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu did his best, however, to give the […]

UK cops ask public to become ‘counter-terrorism citizens’ to help stop attacks (but they’ll arrest you if you do)

Mar 20, 2018 1:29 pm By Robert Spencer

This piece from the UK’s Independent demonstrates that the British government is going all in with its contention that “far-right extremists” are an equivalent threat to that of Islamic jihadis. However, the most prominent people that they smear as “far-right extremists,” including Tommy Robinson, the recently banned Martin Sellner, Brittany Pettibone and Lauren Southern, as […]

UK police on London jihadi: “There is a possibility we will never understand why he did this”

Mar 25, 2017 8:25 pm By Robert Spencer

They’ve arrested many people in connection with the attack, but they say he acted alone. He was a “very religious” Muslim following an Islamic State modus operandi — running down people in a car and then getting out and stabbing — that other Islamic jihadis have followed in the recent past, and they say, “We […]
