“I pledge allegiance to Islamic State and it’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi… I want nothing from Britain and I spit at this country.’
Another close call. Why do so many Muslim converts allegedly ‘misunderstand’ Islam in this exact same murderous way? Where are Muslims teaching against the ideology that gave rise to it? If the moderates really reject extremism, let them show it by instituting genuine programs to teach against this view of Islam.
The Islamic jihadists refer to the texts and teachings of Islam — the Qur’an and the example of Muhammad — to justify their actions and make recruits among peaceful Muslims. Those Muslims who reject that understanding of Islam are not doing anything to combat it. There is, for example, not a single program in any mosque or Islamic school in the US to teach young Muslims to reject the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam. With the imams and jihadis energetically recruiting young Muslims in the US, that is a significant omission.

‘I spit at this country’: British Muslim convert scoped out Oxford Street and Madame Tussauds for terror attacks after going to Anjem Choudary rallies
- Lewis Ludlow, from Kent, converted to Islam and attended Choudary rallies
- He wanted to join ISIS in the Philippines, but was stopped from travelling
- Investigators uncovered video of him swearing allegiance to ISIS leader
- He plotted Oxford Street attack while meeting deradicalisation group Prevent
- He was referred to the group in 2008 but he repeatedly failed to show up
- Defence say he had autism and turned to radical groups after being bullied
By Richard Spillett and Duncan Gardham For Mailonline, 3 January 2019
A British-born Muslim convert said ‘I spit at Britain’ in an ISIS allegiance video as he plotted to slaughter shoppers in a ‘ram attack’ outside Oxford Street’s Disney store.
Lewis Ludlow, a former Royal Mail worker from the upmarket Kent town of Rochester, became radicalised after converting to Islam and attending the poppy-burning rallies of hate preacher Anjem Choudary.
The 27-year-old then tried to join a new ISIS group in the Philippines, but was stopped from travelling and so began hatching plans for an attack in London.
He plotted a vehicle attack on Oxford Street or Madame Tussauds while, at the same time, meeting officials from the deradicalisation programme Prevent.
The convert had been offered three different courses of deradicalisation since he first came to the group’s attention in 2008, but repeatedly failed to show up.
Investigators then found a torn-up letter setting out his vehicle attack plot, and a video in which he said: ‘I pledge allegiance to Islamic State and it’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi… I want nothing from Britain and I spit at this country.’
British Muslim convert Lewis Ludlow, who plotted a terror attack in London after being stopped from travelling to the Philippines
Police recovered torn-up scraps of a letter Ludlow had written, setting out his plans
An investigation revealed he was preparing to drive a van into shoppers on Oxford Street or near tourist hotspot Madame Tussauds.
Prosecutor Mark Dawson told an earlier hearing: ‘This was a plot to cause mass fatalities using a vehicle in Oxford Street targeting among other places the Disney store or pedestrians in and around Oxford Street at its busiest times.
‘In one of his notes he talks of causing upwards of 100 fatalities.’
Ludlow was under surveillance when he was observed at an internet cafe on Portland Street in London’s West End on March 16this year where he researched ‘busy shopping centres.’
He wrote notes on his planned attack, including: ‘Long road with no bollards or barriers preventing a van mounting the pavement.’
Ludlow admitted charges of preparing acts of terrorism and funding terror and was sentenced today.

Amazing, I am sure his barrister(s) will appeal his sentence. I, like
numerous others, am so tired of the blame game employed by lawyers to
mitigate these Jihad, scumbag psychopath’s actions or intent.

A Brit Muslim, likely, on the dole, feeding off the taxpayers’ social-welfare trough for Jihadis. His plot was thwarted but most likely by chance. After all, the May regime is dead-set on those deemed Islamophobes, not Muslims bent on mass-murder of infidels.
Britain is not the only Western faux-Democracy suffering from the same delusional worldview of Islam. It is only a matter of time in which the entirety of the West is subjected and enslaved by this Cult of Death.
What prison time did this Jihadi scumbag receive? I, for one, am
shocked, he wasn’t found psychologically askew, thus given a slap on the
wrist.

There is another group not being talked about.
Mexicans! Disaffected, without purpose Mexican and Hispanic males are converting in droves to ISAM!
They get structure in their life, money, comradery, treat women like crap, like violence, hate the U.S. and get to be macho with a purpose. They will work together on crime – getting illegal drugs here and sex trafficking.
Never assume Mexicans and Hispanics are Catholic.. They have found lots of Muslim terrorist literature, books and prayer mats around the border.

Indeed, Felix, as we know, Islam is a virulent contagion that infects infinite peoples of our species. One suspects some gravitate to Islam for the reasons mentioned and others. The sleazy Democrats do not give a toss about the security of America and its citizenry; power is their sole driving force to unhinge the Republic.
I consider that Pelosi and her scourge of traitorous comrades are versed in the Qu’ran’s bilious, inhuman doctrines, as their ultimate ambition is identical to those of the Democrats and Liberalism, the downfall of the Republic, Western governance and culture.

Left/liberal Third wave feminism has created disgusted men who won’t step up to protect women http://tinyurl.com/y9ll38ls

The British police successfully completed their muslim diversity sensitivity training.
They understand now that muslims are merely practicing their religious freedom, as enshrined in the koran, that permits sexual slavery, rape, forced conversion, assault, murder and genocide!
The police stand aside now, smile and applaud with a quiet opera clap of approval.
However, patriots like Tommy that expose the truth are thrown in prison..
The USA should demand the British and French turn over all their nukes before the muzlims finish taking over completely.

Yep, Tommy Robinson is imprisoned, vilified and a professed Islamophobe for speaking-out; freedom of speech or thought, however, is only afforded to Muslims and their Progressivist lackeys of which May and company, the Gestapo/Police are one. Yes, the USA while Trump is Commander in Chief should demand the turn over of the entirety of the EU and Britain’s nuclear arsenal. Methinks, however, it is too late, Macron, the newly appointed German Fuhrer, whatshername and the repugnant May would call on Allah to eradicate not only Trump but ‘the Great Satan’, America.

We condemn Muhammadists for the unjust Muhammad-war.
We must also condemn unjust Muhammad for the unjust Muhammad-law & war.
& we must condemn Saudi Arabia for the unjust Muhammad-law & war.
& we must condemn Trump for selling weapons to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia controls Twitter, Trump’s favorite social media service.
Saudi Arabia kills atheists, cuts off clitorisses & enslaves Africans in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks. Africans are also enslaved by Muhammadists in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria & elswhere.

Muslim hate against us is very real. It’s the same sort of hate that Germans/Nazis had towards Jews and if we keep pretending they’re not a problem, one day they’ll be shoving us into death camps and ovens. But I’m preaching to the choir-it’s the morons out there who don’t realize Muslims are today’s Nazis. Guess they’ll find out the hard way.

And what was his sentence?
A free council house, all the benefits he could wish for and a social worker to make sure he wants for nothing ever again?
They should have let him go. With luck, he’d be dead by now, and justice would actually have been served.

In their own words from their book
47:4 Behead and slaughter the unbelievers; take others captive
“When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will send them to Paradise.
Islam is the most dangerous thing that the world has ever faced, Stalin and Hitler were insignificant compared to the engulfing and mendacious tentacles of Islam
Islamic culture is based on shame and dishonor, and a high illiteracy rate to impede progress. Their greatness will come when all vestiges of advanced societies are destroyed.

Seems to me that if these people who convert to islam and try to go to war zones, they should be allowed to go..they are self deporting and many subsequent attacks have occurred by muslims who attempted to leave and were denied travel to join the terror groups, and frustrated they commit a local attack.
A large percentage of people who attempt to join the terror groups are executed as spies when they arrive, some are blown to bits later, a few survive and try to come back, they should lose citizenship for joining the enemy.
England would have hanged any Brit caught fighting with the Nazis in France.. but now they let our battlefield enemies come back and blow us up like it’s no big deal..

I have no sympathy for anyone, male or female, young or old, white or black or any other background, who converts to the religion of Islam. He made his choice, now he must lie with it.
