Britain has finally came to her senses

We’ve been reading a lot of news about British residents travelling to middle-east countries like Iraq and Syria to cause havoc and promote instability. A lot of them have been radicalized by Internet Mullahs who are encouraging young men to go there and fight. Women are also encouraged to join the cause (only god knows for what).

Recent news from England

Assistant Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said arrests for suspected fanatics heading to or from Syria as well as fund-raisers are running at five times the rate of last year.

The warning came as he said “significant progress” was being made in the hunt for “Jihadi John”, the Briton who is believed to have beheaded American journalist James Foley.

Intelligence and security agencies in the UK and US are said to be close to identifying the man who was seen apparently murdering Mr Foley in a video broadcast by the terror group Islamic State.

It is believed the murder took place in Syria and had reignited concerns over the level of involvement by young British extremists in the conflict there and in Iraq as well as the risk they pose if they return.

It is estimated that at least 500 Britons have travelled to Syria to fight alongside extremists there, of who around half are thought to be from London.

In one of my post, I asked why the western governments (like France and UK) are not doing more to stem or stop these radicalized individuals. It’s as if the authorities in those (western) countries are turning blind eyes because violent/terror acts are committed in someone else’s backyard.

Perhaps, some may think that these men are doing everyone a favor by fighting Assad of Syria even though extremely brutal tactics (which are sadistic and completely against human nature) are employed against civilians and many innocents are deliberately targeted/killed in revenge.

One of the things I find lacking the most, not only in Muslim but also in western communities, is ethics. Everyone is looking after their convenience and their self-interest with no regards to greater good of humanity. And every method, no matter how unethical, is okay (halal) and can be used as long as it for our self-interest, goal and objective…

For the past three years, these same people have been committing extreme brutality against Syrians and Iraqis but the world has just started to notice it now? Did no one take note of the barbaric human-liver eating man?

If you read some of the profiles of some of the Jihadists, they all seem to be very sinful people and complete losers.

Choudhruy in 2010;he conned them (family) out of £25,000, under the false pretence of needing treatment for cancer, to go to Singapore, not once but twice for surgery. Once there, Choudhury, who was in perfect health, spent the money on prostitutes costing £200 a night, his penchant for young women revealed in text messages discovered by police. Back in Portsmouth, he resumed the habit. He went on what he called “lads’ holidays” to Morocco three times and twice more to Singapore in 2011 and 2012, while at the same time downloading lectures by extremist preachers, extolling the virtues of an Islamic caliphate. To atone for his sins, Choudhury decided to embark on a holy war.

One key figure was missing: Jaman, a former worker in a Sky customer service call centre, whose parents owned an Indian takeaway restaurant in Portsmouth. He had studied at an Islamic boarding school in London, but life in a call centre proved boring and un-demanding. In May last year, he went to Syria and began recruiting his eager friends. In messages posted on Twitter and other internet sites, he painted a romanticised version of life on the front line, boasting of a “five star jihad”.
