The Walsall Anarchists and the Jubilee Plot were over a century ago. Don’t kid yourself.
Here is a list of some others who have tried to blow me up in the name of Islam - mostly from the places I mentioned in the UK. I could get a load more but I thought 16 would be a reasonable enough sample size to demonstrate that there are bombers.
Ahmed Abdulla Ali convicted of conspiracy to murder involving liquid bombs, from East London
Assad Sarwar convicted of conspiracy to murder involving liquid bombs, from East London
Tanvir Hussain convicted of conspiracy to murder involving liquid bombs, from East London
Ibrahim Savant convicted of conspiracy to murder through suicide bombing, from East London
Arafat Khan convicted of conspiracy to murder through suicide bombing, from East London
Waheed Zaman convicted of conspiracy to murder through suicide bombing, from East London
Irfan Naseer convicted of conspiracy to murder through suicide bombing, from Birmingham
Irfan Khalid convicted of conspiracy to murder through suicide bombing, from Birmingham
Ashik Ali convicted of conspiracy to murder through suicide bombing, from Birmingham
Mohammed Chowdhury convicted of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, from East London
Shah Rahman convicted of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, from East London
Gurukanth Desai convicted of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, from Cardiff
Abdul Miah convicted of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, from Cardiff
Mohammed Shahjahan convicted of assisting others to prepare for terrorism, from Birmingham
Usman Khan convicted of assisting others to prepare for terrorism, from Stoke
Nazam Hussein convicted of assisting others to prepare for terrorism, from Stoke
- None of these men were convicted of trying you blow you up in the name of Islam. You are simply not telling the truth here.
- Have you looked into any of these cases, in terms of the evidence against these men or at you just listing convictions to try to score a point? Even that legendary terrorist who was stopped before he managed to blow you up in the name of Catholicism was subject to provocation and entrapment, and that was several centuries ago. Ditto the Walsall Anarchists and the Jubilee Plot. Ditto the war on Irish terrorists. In literally dozens of cases the security services found people they could provoke into doing something they could then arrest them for and then trumpeted these as proof of the threat and proof of their own necessity and value. I know for a fact at least some of the men in your list were subject to the same tactics.
I think someone attempting to commit murder is a little more than a ‘dickhead’. If you had someone pull a gun and try to shoot you in the street but failed because they forgot to reload the gun after practising at the range, you might think he was a dickhead, but I think you might also be a little worried that he might do it again and you got lucky that he stupidly forgot to reload it. But then again maybe you would just walk away laughing. Maybe you think that attempted murder shouldn’t be a crime?
Did any of these men actually attempt to commit murder in anything like as explicit a manner as you describe, or are you exaggerating to try to score a point?
The quality of your argumentation is abysmal.
By the way how do you know that it wasn’t Muslims that detonated the 7/7 bombs? I thought you said before that you don’t know who did it. So how can you rule out the religion of those that did? Your point about the families thing I agree is valid - but it doesn’t make my point any less so.
It wasn’t the four Muslims that they said did it. It makes no sense for some Muslims to set up four other Muslims to take the blame for their crime, and in general when Muslims commit acts of terrorism they are more than happy to take the credit. There are even fake Muslim terrorist groups claiming responsibility for events that had nothing to do with them, such as Ramzi Yousef’s Liberation Army, or more recently the Abu Hafs Al-Masri Brigade (who claimed responsibility for 7/7). Muslim terrorists don’t tend to carry out false flags, whereas the British security services have been doing it for centuries.
Hence, I know it wasn’t Muslims who did it, but I don’t know exactly who did do it other than that they set up four Muslims to take the blame and given both logic and historical/contemporary precedent it makes no sense for other Muslims to have done this.
Now, what was your point?
Regarding Birmingham: I was at university there for 3 years. The city is a dive. My female Pakistani origin friend and I used to hang out a lot together. We used to have young Muslim guys drive past, slow right down, lean out the window and glare at her. Why? She told me it was because they thought she was a traitor to her culture and Islam for being with a white guy. It didn’t bother her as it happened so often. I never did get used to it during my time there. Glad I don’t get that in London - at least not yet. That aside, there are many reasons I didn’t like the city. You should visit, you may love it!
Birmingham was a shithole before the Muslims showed up, and the notion of race-traitors is hardly unique to Muslims. I’m guessing now that you’re an alternative account for another poster who has been here for a while, and I will say that if you don’t improve your arguments in your next post that I cannot be bothered continuing this exchange.
