UK remands Islamist preacher in custody on terror charges

2023-07-25

Both arrested a week ago, but clearly not to be trusted out on bail until convicted and starting their formal prison sentences.

[IsraelTimes] Radical holy man Anjem Choudary was arrested together with a Canadian man; both are charged with being members of a terrorist organization

British Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary

...self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month. He was in jug for awhile for supporting the Islamic State...
was remanded in jug by a UK magistrate on Monday, after London’s Metropolitan police charged him with three terrorism offenses.

Choudary, 56, faces charges of belonging to a proscribed organization, addressing meetings to encourage support for a proscribed organization and directing a terrorist organization, the force said.

A 28-year-old Canadian, Khaled Hussein,

...anyone know what his birth name was? He somehow doesn’t look like a Khaled...

was also ordered held in jug after he was charged with membership of a proscribed organization.

Both appeared separately at Westminster Magistrates Court in London, which heard that the charges relate to "an extreme form of Islam."

"The charges relate to the proscribed organization al-Muhajiroun
...formerly Omar Bakri Muhammad's spin off group from Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, where the detestable lunatic Anjem Chaudry got his start. More recently the name adopted by al-Qaeda in East Africa for operations in Kenya and Tanzania. It is subordinate to al-Shabaab but will probably be strong enough to fly on its own, given an uninterrupted flow of petrodollars, should the Shaboobs collapse....
, also known as the Islamic Thinkers Society," prosecutor Nick Price said.

Anjem Choudary’s branch fed fighters to both Al Qaeda and ISIS, being the connection to oodles of vicious men in our archives and beyond.

"Criminal proceedings against Mr. Choudary and Mr. Hussein are now active and they each have the right to a fair trial," he added.

Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring ordered the pair remanded in jug and set their next appearance, at the central criminal courthouse known as the Old Bailey, on August 4.

Choudary, from east London, wore a black jacket and glasses, and spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during Monday’s 30-minute court hearing. He was not asked to enter any pleas to the three charges.

A lawyer for Hussein, who is from Edmonton in the Canadian province Alberta, said he would not be entering a plea. The defendant spoke — in a Canadian accent — only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.

He is alleged to have been in "close contact" with Choudary online to provide "a platform" for the group’s views for around two years, the court heard.

Counterterror officers investigating alleged membership of the proscribed organization arrested both men last Monday, the Metropolitan police has said.

Officers detained Choudary in east London and held Hussein at Heathrow Airport after he arrived on a flight.

The BBC has a photo of the weedy, Canadian-looking Mr. Hussein, adding:

Mr Hussein is charged with being a member of Al Muhajiroun. Prosecutors allege he helped set up its Canadian branch and say he was "in effect working for" Choudary.

An offshoot of Al-Muhajiroun was banned, or proscribed, in 2006 for glorifying terrorism.

That ban was expanded in 2010 to include a number of other names, including Al-Muhajiroun.

Alleged ISIS Supporter Charged For Thwarted Attacks on Denmark and London

2021-04-13

[Breitbart] A man has been charged in Norway for his alleged role in plans to carry out three bully boy attacks in Denmark and in London, and for purportedly spreading Islamic State

They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group propaganda on the internet.

Authorities believe the 24-year-old man, who wasn’t identified, was part of a group that sought to strike a church in England, possibly St. Paul´s Cathedral in London, but British police thwarted the plot, Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported Monday.

The man was also allegedly involved in plans for one or more attacks in Denmark in March and April 2019 with help from at least one Danish citizen, prosecutor Geir Evanger told NRK. Those attacks are believed to have been prevented as well.

The man has maintained his innocence. If found guilty, the man who claims to be innocent, faces up to 21 years in jail, NRK said. The trial starts in Oslo on May 18.

Evanger was quoted as saying by NRK that as to his involvement in IS, the man spread "extremist material, ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful material and material with religious content" online. He was an administrator for several groups on social media, including some he had created, the prosecutor said, adding they consider him to be "a relatively central participant in many of these groups."

NRK said the man had been held in jug for a while.

It wasn’t immediately known whether the case was linked to the July sentencing in London of Safiyya Sheikh, a British woman who had converted to Islam. She was locked away

Britain Muslim ~~migrant~~ colonist briefs: the post-interregnum roundup

2021-01-29

I scrolled through a few days of Breitbart’s London/Europe articles, collecting the best for your delectation in this time of Covid lockdowns, dear Reader. It will be interesting to see how things change after emergency measures are ended.
Nota bene: Breitbart’s latest Britain and Europe articles are always listed here, if you don’t want to wait for someone else to get around to posting articles.

Prison to Terror Pipeline Encouraged by ‘Soft’ Treatment of Convicted Terrorists: Report
[Breitbart] Britain’s prison system is facilitating the spread of extremist ideologies by taking a soft approach to convicted terrorists, the government’s independent terrorism watchdog has found.

As Theodore Dalrymple would have predicted...

Jonathan Hall, QC, the government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said that prisons are not adequately punishing convicted terrorists for attempting to incite violence by radicalising other inmates.

In October, two radical Islamic inmates were found guilty of attempted murder against a prison guard, who they tried to stab to death. One of the inmates, Brusthom Ziamani, 25, was already serving a 22-year-sentence for plotting to behead a soldier.

Earlier this month, Islamist terrorist Khairi Saadallah received a rare whole life sentence for killing three men with a knife and injuring three others during an attack in Reading last summer.

During his trial, it was revealed that the 26-year-old Libyan national was further radicalised by a “prominent radical preacher” Omar Brooks — a member of infamous Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary‘s banned al-Muhajiroun organisation — while he was serving time in prison for a non-terror-related crime.

Former prisoners have also committed terrorist attacks in Streatham and on London Bridge.

A previous independent review carried out by Professor Ian Acheson in 2016, found that Islamic extremism was a “growing problem” in British prisons. Despite this, there was “widespread reluctance” from prison administrators to enact reforms and crackdown on the extremist behaviour “because of the fear of being labelled racist“, government sources claimed at the time.

Migrant Terrorist Free to Kill Despite 7 Convictions
[Breitbart] Islamic extremist Khairi Saadallah had been a member of the Islamic Ansar al-Sharia terrorist organisation in Libya, with his bogus asylum claim being rejected by Britain’s Home Office all the way back in 2012.

The authorities failed to remove him, however, despite his rapid collection of absconding incidents, criminal convictions, and prison sentences, culminating in his “execution” of three men in a public park in a radical Islamic terror attack, just days after he had been released early from a sentence for previous terror offences.

Despite tough talk on deportation from Home Secretary Priti Patel, the (already low) number of removals actually plummetted by 79 per cent in 2020, while mass legal immigration and illegal immigration have both risen dramatically during her and Boris Johnson’s tenure.

UK Migrant Camp Under COVID Lockdown Amid Mass Rule Breaking
[Breitbart] The migrant camp in Kent has been placed under lockdown after an outbreak of the Chinese coronavirus in the former army barracks amidst widespread flouting of the rules by the alleged asylum seekers.

At least 100 of the 400 migrant men housed in the Napier Barracks in Folkestone are believed to have contracted the coronavirus, which the government has blamed on the illegals for failing to abide by social distancing regulations and even refusing to take COVID-19 tests.

Just last week, migrants at the camp staged a protest in clear violation of the UK’s coronavirus lockdown measures, which prohibit mass gatherings. Last week a similar protest was staged at the Penally Army Centre near the small Welsh village of Tenby, which was also converted into a migrant camp last year, amidst record waves of illegal boat migration.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who released footage of the protest, remarked: “Now it would appear that one of the reasons for the protest in Tenby is they don’t like the conditions. They say they are entitled to a more normal life.

“They are only entitled to it if their claim for refugee status is successful. But the Home Office committee themselves say that 81 per cent of those come into the country don’t even qualify for asylum because they’ve come already from a safe country.”

As of September of last year, there are some 60,548 alleged asylum seekers in the country, all of whom are guaranteed taxpayer-funded accommodations.

The migrants are also afforded a weekly allowance of at least £35.39, as well as access to National Health Service (NHS) healthcare, and taxpayer-funded education for children between the ages of five and 17.

Queen grants rare royal pardon to murderer who fought off a terrorist knife attacker with a 5-foot narwhal tusk on London Bridge

2020-10-19

[BusinessInsider]

A murderer who confronted the London Bridge attacker with a narwhal tusk in 2019 will see his 17-year prison sentence reduced under a royal pardon, reports The Mirror.

Under the pardon, he will be able to reduce his prison sentence by 10 months and can apply for parole in June 2021.

Steve Gallant, 47, was jailed in 2005 after killing a former firefighter outside of a pub in the Northeastern city of Hull.

Gallant was on his day release at a conference organized to help rehabilitate prisoners when the attacker, convicted terrorist Usman Khan,

fatally stabbed two people.

Gallant has received the royal prerogative of mercy by the Queen, for his "exceptionally brave actions...which helped save people's lives despite the tremendous risk to his own."

This is the first royal pardon for a convicted murderer in 25 years.

British woman jailed for plot to bomb London’s St Paul’s Cathedral

2020-07-04

[SCMP] A British Moslem convert was locked away
Please don't kill me!
for at least 14 years on Friday for plotting to blow up London’s St Paul’s Cathedral and then herself in a suicide kaboom on the London subway.

Safiyya Sheikh,

37, confessed to plotting the attacks when she was arrested after making contact with an explosives expert who was a police informant.

The heroin user, who converted to Islam in 2007, expressed no remorse as she was sentenced at London’s Old Bailey, gesturing to news hounds using Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
’s one-finger salute as she was led away.

Prosecutors also disclosed details of a call she made to a friend from prison in which she said: "I didn’t get cold feet, yeah — I was ready to go through with it."

The court was told she intended to trigger a boom jacket at the nearby London Underground station immediately after detonating the cathedral bombs. Judge Nigel Sweeney sentenced Sheikh to life in prison with a minimum term of 14 years.

He said her defence team’s claim that she had changed her mind about going through with the attack prior to her arrest "was a lie".

"Your intention had been — and remained throughout — strong," the judge said.

The investigation showed that she had confessed in August last year to undercover agents that she "would like to kill a lot".

She visited St Paul’s Cathedral — a popular tourist destination facing the London Stock Exchange — in September on a reconnaissance mission and was arrested the following month.

London’s counterterrorism police chief Richard Smith said Sheikh "loved watching graphic videos of terror" and changed her name from Michelle Ramsden after a "truly traumatic childhood".

The Guardian adds:

Delivering sentence, the judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, acknowledged that Sheikh had suffered from mental health issues, but said: "There are a number of aggravating factors — communication with known holy warriors, deliberate use of encrypted communications, use of multiple social media platforms, significant volumes of terrorist publications published and attempting to disguise your identity."

Sweeney added: "I had already reached the sure conclusion in the original evidence that your claim of doubt to the police and others was a lie. Your intention had been — and remained throughout — strong."

During the sentencing hearing last month, Alison Morgan QC, prosecuting, said Sheikh was a "~~violent~~ mostly peaceful holy warrior" who had pledged her support to Isis. She was not just planning an attack but also "encouraging others to commit attacks of a similar kind".

Sheikh’s online propaganda postings were sophisticated and "prolific", the court was told, including pictures of executions, glorification of atrocities and spreading threats to carry out mass murder.

Sheikh had no previous terror-related convictions but was on the radar of counter-terrorism Sherlocks from at least 2016. She was referred to the Prevent deradicalisation programme three times between 2016 and 2018 but each time she disengaged. She was never referred to the counter-extremism scheme Channel.

On the encrypted message service Telegram, Sheikh ran a social media channel called GreenB1rds, which spread pro-Isis propaganda and called for attacks in the UK and overseas specifically on churches.

Sometimes she posed as a man online, believing it would encourage more people to engage with her. Detectives had evidence that she was so fixated on her own martyrdom that she was lining up others to take over her Telegram account.

On 18 August 2019, she was stopped at Luton airport and prevented from flying to to Amsterdam. Her ticket had been purchased by Yousra Lemouesset, a Netherlands-based Isis supporter who has since been convicted of terror offences.

Inmate attack on UK prison officer treated as terrorism

2020-01-12

[IsraelTimes] Two prisoners wearing fake suicide belts slash guard with homemade knives, wounding him and four other officials who intervene; one is follower of radical holy man Anjem Choudary

A knife attack on a British prison officer by two inmates wearing fake suicide belts is being treated as a terrorist attack, police said Friday.

Two prisoners wielding improvised bladed weapons slashed the officer’s head and neck in Thursday’s attack at the maximum security Whitemoor prison in eastern England.

Four other prison staff were maimed as they stepped in and detained the attackers, and were taken to hospital alongside the original victim. All five officers have now been released.

One of the suspects was named by media as Brusthom Ziamani, 24, a follower of radical preacher Anjem Choudary

Most recently al-Muhajiroun was feeding cannon fodder to ISIS, which at least did England the service of funding their removal to the killing fields. Possibly they’ve now gone back to doing the same for Al Qaeda.

The other suspect was reported to be a Moslem convert jugged
Please don't kill me!
for a violent offence.

"The matter is being treated as a terrorist attack and the investigation continues at pace," said London’s Metropolitan Police, which leads on national counter-terrorism matters.

"The incident itself was quickly contained and dealt with by prison staff.

"From our inquiries thus far, there is nothing to suggest any continuing threat inside or outside of the prison system linked to yesterday’s incident."

The suspects remain in prison and no arrests have been made, police said.

There has been a sharp increase in prisoners convicted of terrorism-related offences in the past few years, sparking growing concerns that other inmates may become radicalized.

The government has trained almost 20,000 staff in extremism awareness training, and employs multi-faith chaplaincy teams in all prisons.

It also opened two Separation Centers where individuals considered to pose the biggest risk are kept away from the main prison population.

The 51-year-old was tossed in the calaboose

He is expected to return to his home in Ilford, east of London, although will not be able to use any internet-enabled devices without permission, the BBC reported.

Other restrictions are reported to include bans on leaving Britannia without permission and on attending certain mosques and he will only be allowed to meet with people approved by the police.

Among those radicalised by Muhajiroun were the jacket wallahs who killed 52 people on London's public transport system in July 2005, and the men who murdered soldier Lee Rigby in the capital in 2013, police say.

The court heard that Choudary had broadcast speeches recognising His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

He also belonged to a group that burned poppies, the symbol of remembrance for deaths in war, during an Armistice Day protest in the British capital in 2010.

In a 2014 interview with AFP, Choudary called on western journalists, civilians and troops in "Moslem countries" to "completely withdraw and allow us to implement the Sharia".

Former police terror chief Richard Walton called him a "hardened dangerous terrorist" who had had a "huge influence on Islamist extremism in this country".

Hate preacher Anjem Choudary to be freed from jail despite remaining 'genuinely dangerous'

2018-09-16

Yes, this piece of shit will be in the news again, smiling at terror. Britain deserves what they encourage
[Telegraph] Anjem Choudary, the notorious Islamist hate preacher, will be released from jail next month despite a chilling warning from the justice minister that he remained "genuinely dangerous".

Choudary, 51, is due to be freed within weeks after serving half of a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence for encouraging Muslims to join Islamic State.

The Government admitted on Tuesday it was powerless to prevent Choudary from being released on licence. Rory Stewart, the prisons minister, said that the preacher was "a deeply pernicious, destabilising influence".

Mr Stewart, in an interview, added: "He is... somebody who is a genuinely dangerous person. We will be watching him very carefully."

Choudary was leader of the proscribed terrorist group al-Muhajiroun, whose followers included Khuram Butt, part of the London Bridge terror cell who murdered eight innocent bystanders in June last year.

Other disciples include Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby, murdered outside his barracks in south London in 2013.

Sweden will 'never go back' to the days of mass immigration after failed asylum seeker launched Friday's truck attack

2017-04-10

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The Prime Minister of Sweden has vowed his country will 'never go back' to recent levels of mass immigration after it emerged the terrorist who killed four people in a truck attack was a failed asylum seeker.
A nation of dumbasses. It doesn't matter what your intentions are. What matters is whether the other bastard hates you.
Stefan Löfven pledged to change his country's liberal attitude, insisting the massive influx allowed during the 2015 migrant crisis would never happen again.
You can betcher booty the dumbasses will be up in arms over his "intolerance."
Rakhmat Akilov, from Uzbekistan, hijacked the lorry and deliberately drove into pedestrians on central Stockholm's main shopping street on Friday afternoon.

It was a copycat of the attack carried out in London last month, when Khalid Masood killed four pedestrians and injured dozens more with a Hyundai 4x4. Swedish police said there were clear similarities.

Akilov is thought to have carried out reconnaissance along his route days earlier.

Four were killed and 15 injured when he drove a 30-ton truck down a pedestrianised area and smashed into a department store. Chris Bevington, a 41-year-old father-of-two from Britannia, was killed close to his office.

But it emerged yesterday Swedish authorities had given Akilov four weeks to leave Sweden after his final asylum appeal failed in December.

He was being sought by police and immigration officials for deportation ‐ but evaded them simply by giving a false address.

'Sweden will never go back to the [mass migration] we had in autumn 2015, never,' Mr Löfven said yesterday.

'Everyone who has been denied a permit should return home.

'This makes me feel enormously frustrated. If you have been denied a visa you are supposed to leave the country.'

He added: 'Terrorists want us to be afraid, want us to change our behaviour, want us to not live our lives normally, but that is what we're going to do.

'Terrorists can never defeat Sweden, never.'

There are more than 3,000 ~~migrants~~ colonists living unlawfully in Stockholm alone, police said.

Akilov, 39, had expressed support for Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.
