UK: ISIS-supporting Muslim couple found guilty of plotting Christmas jihad massacre after meeting on online dating site

41

Love Islamic style.

Munir Hassan Mohammed and Rowaida El-Hassan worked on building a jihad IED after bonding over their Islamic beliefs on SingleMuslim.com. El-Hassan was looking for “a simple, very simple, honest and straightforward man who fears Allah” who she could “vibe with on a spiritual and intellectual level.” El-Hassan, who has a Masters degree in pharmacy from University College London, used her expert knowledge of chemicals to help Mohammed research and stockpile the ingredients needed for a jihad bomb.

Here again we see well-educated, affluent Muslims engaging in the plotting of jihad violence. As I have often said, it is not poverty, lack of opportunity or hardship that creates jihad killers — the common denominator is Islam. It’s the same pattern over and over again. Further proof of all I have said and refutation of the popular leftist myth that the elites traffic in — that jihadis are poverty-stricken, disaffected, illiterate youths.

Story continues below advertisement

It’s the same pattern over and over again. Muslim doctors in Michigan, US naval officers, popular happy Muslim teens in Mississippi, Muslim rappers in Germany, Muslim doctors in Glasgow and Australia, Muslim chemical engineering students in Canada, the UK’s top students at their most elite schools, Muslim herdsmen in Nigeria, Muslim British surgeons, Muslim heart surgeons in Saudi Arabia, university students in Britain, imams in America, Muslim doctors in Australia, Canadian Idol contestants, and so forth – what brings these wildly different people together? Jihad. From the Sahara to the Kalahari, London to Lisbon, Manhattan to Madrid, Bali to Boston, Tiananmen Square to Thailand, Myanmar to Malaysia, Nairobi to Nigeria ….. no matter what the background, upbringing, schooling, wealth or poverty, color, what have you, it doesn’t matter. The understanding of Islam and jihad is the same, and it is the motive, the incitement to this monstrous war on the West and and the East and all points in between.

This is not rocket science. This is reality.

“Isis-supporting couple planned Christmas terror attack after meeting on online dating site,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, January 8, 2018:

An Isis-supporting couple have been found guilty of preparing to launch a terror attack using a homemade bomb and chemical weapons in the UK.

Security services feared Munir Mohammed and Rowaida el-Hassan were ready to strike before they were detained in December 2016, with police saying a “significant loss of life” had been averted.

Mohammed, 36, had already amassed two out of three core components for triacetone triperoxide (TATP), the unstable explosive used in recent Isis attacks, including in Paris and Brussels.

He had also downloaded manuals on how to make mobile phone detonators and ricin, a deadly poison that can kill an adult victim with just a few grains.

Mohammed, of Leopold Street in Derby, and El-Hassan, of Willesden Lane in north-west London, denied preparing terrorist acts between November 2015 and December 2016 but a jury found them both guilty….

The Old Bailey heard that El-Hassan, a pharmacist, became a willing participant in the plot after meeting Mohammed on dating website SingleMuslim.com.

She had advertised “for a simple, very simple, honest and straightforward man who fears Allah” who she could “vibe with on a spiritual and intellectual level”.

Prosecutors said Mohammed was specifically drawn to her profile in late 2015 after seeing she had a masters’ degree in pharmacy, aiming to use her chemical knowledge in the attack.

Jurors were told the pair had a “rapidly formed emotional attachment and a shared ideology” and were in regular contact on WhatsApp by spring 2016, meeting in a London park near El-Hassan’s home.

Records of their messages show they shared extremist views and videos, while Mohammed was put in touch with a man he believed was an Isis commander via Facebook.

Prosecutor Anne Whyte QC said Mohammed “resolved upon a lone wolf attack”, while working making sauces for supermarket ready meals, and El-Hassan was well aware of his plan.

He pledged allegiance to the man, known as Abubakr Kurdi, and offered to participate in “a new job in the UK” – a phrase jurors were told referred to a terror attack.

In September 2016, Mohammed complained he had not received his instructions, telling his contact: “If possible send how we make dough [explosives] for Syrian bread [a bomb] and other types of food.”

El-Hassan, a 33-year-old divorcee with two children, advised Mohammed on what chemicals to buy for a bomb, the court heard.

That November, Mohammed got hold of a video containing information on how to manufacture ricin, and days before his arrest he was captured on CCTV buying “acetone free” nail polish from Asda, in the mistaken belief it was a component of TATP.

He also looked at pressure cookers at Ace Discounts, which the prosecution said could be used to contain the explosives, according to several terrorist manuals.

Police found hydrogen peroxide in a wardrobe and hydrochloric acid in the freezer of his home during a raid on 12 December 2016 but Mohammed claimed they were for domestic purposes.

He told the Old Bailey he sent El-Hassan extremist videos “mainly for the news” and claimed his intention was “to marry her”.

But Mohammed had an arranged marriage in Sudan with a woman he had never met called Fatima, who he was hoping to bring to England on a student visa.

He had arrived in Britain in the back of a lorry and claimed asylum in February 2014, the court heard.

After awaiting a decision for more than two years, he appealed to his local MP Margaret Beckett for help, but she was told his case had been referred to a “specialist unit for consideration”.

El-Hassan, who came to Britain from Sudan at the age of three, told jurors she had sulphuric acid for her drains and got face masks to wear as she dealt with a damp problem in her flat.

Asked if she had feelings for Mohammed, she said: ”It was mixed feelings at the time. Yes, there was emotional attachment.

“There were feelings developing and we were getting to know each other. I was grateful for things he helped me with. And he was grateful for things I helped him with. I liked the attention he was giving me.”

Police said it could not be proven that El-Hassan was an extremist before she met Mohammed, but could have been in no doubt about his jihadi beliefs.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Greenwood, who led the investigation, said the website they used was a “normal place to look for a relationship”.

But Mohammed used it to get advice on where to source chemicals to manufacture TATP from El-Hassan, who was previously unknown to the security services.

“Munir shared with her some really graphic and brutal execution videos, lots of other ideological material, including children executing Isis prisoners and children involved in military training in the name of the Islamic State,” DCI Greenwood said….

These two “prime examples” of muslim bottom feeders enjoy the adulation of the same people who will be cheering the fact that the POTUS has cancelled his trip to London.

I and millions of other Brits await the chorus of vilification and condemnation from the loony Labour left who condemn Trump, the “Liberals” who are anything but and the left wing “journalists” on our MSM for these two “outstanding” young “Britons” driven by Trump and “white racists” to those “acts of mild protest”.

Those two are the correct “political colour”, and belief for Mrs May’s “modern Britain”, only trouble is for her, she’s as popular with her dreadful PC agenda as a pork pie in a Synagogue, with the people who stand the casualties and obey the laws. The reported agenda you read has little to do with the UK public’s views.

Poppey I know your heart is in the right place and I get the irony but please even in jest do not call these two vile specimens BRITONS. Neither was born in the UK and neither bought into the idea of being British. They both fed off our kindness and tried to repay us in the Muslim way.
I too am bitterly disappointed that the great Donald has cancelled his visit . I would have loved to have been there flag in hand applauding his every move and maybe busting a few antifa skulls as I know they had a big protest planned. But Trump is resilient and I’m sure there’ll be another occasion.

The BBC with its lack of traditional impartiality has made itself irrelevant. It needs to be stripped to its basic and rebuilt. It’s at this moment a pathetic shadow of the station that broadcasted hope and resistance to the free world.

One way we can redeem ourselves for Trump calling African countries S-holes is to let one billion people like this come here.
That will make little Dick Durbin — who ran to the teacher and tattled on Trump — happy.
The thugs, pedophiles, drug-addicts and murderers who are the “leaders” of these African countries say the same thing about their wretched subjects and slaves every day — and they do much, much worse.
Today CNN has exactly ONE story, replete with images and sob stories about noble savages who now study in our schools and serve in our military, with not a word about their inevitable regression to their natural state of chaos, mayhem, rape and murder once there are enough of them so they feel at home.
Make America Great Again — stop importing S.

I grew up in the shadows of mountains near Cape Town. There were baboons in those mountains and many times I saw them so can confirm ‘without prejudice’ that in truth Munir Hassan Mohammed distinctly resembles a baboon. That said, consider what imbeciles are Western leaders that they allow such people into their country and just how smart is Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban who says ‘no’ – and how ‘dumb’ are Canada’s Justin Trudeau, Britain’s Theresa May, Pope Francis and a host of Western European ‘leaders’ who, evidently, also have the IQ of a baboon.

It’s a storm in a teacup brewed up to satisfy a left-wing audience in love with Islam. Surely there must be more important stories to air on global news networks than someone cutting a hijab. But of course the victim was a Muslim so that matters more, right? Murders, rapes (many by Muslim gangs), honours killings, muggings, car-jacking, robberies… but no, we get a story about hijab damage. Left-wing mobs would be out on the streets celebrating if someone had damaged a KKK hat but do you think the media would have reported that? I doubt it. So tell me the difference? Right, there is none. What about a Nun’s habit being cut by scissors… think that might hit prime time news?… Unlikely. More virtue signalling by left-leaning media. And of course this was in Canada which explains a lot.

There can be no peace while this inhumane stupid and evil cult exists.

What sentence would be appropriate for the planning of wholesale mass murder of large numbers of innocent people? These two deserve the death penalty. It was fortuitous that they were apprehended. It may easily have turned into a blood balth.
The U.K. has problems with some corrosive agents, those should be removed from general public. The U.K. has problems in other areas as well, the people there should vote right, or not. It is their life, and their children’s inheritance.

And these are the kind of people the West is allowing in and educating in its midst, the MSM and politicians defending and branding objectors as ‘Islamophobic’. After the Islamic savagery on Westminster Bridge and in the grounds of parliament last year, cowardly and ignorant politicians inside vehemently insisted: This had “nothing to do with Islam”. Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau actually welcomes back savages who fought for ISIS. The ignorance and stupidity is astounding!

Justin Trudeau also grants them millions of dollars to drop their legal cases, even though they are the prime suspect in murders. The poor Islamist had to suffer time in GITMO because of his terrorist activity, now he lives off the work of citizens who never will see so much money.
