UK knifeman recently read Qur’an, life of Muhammad; cops search for motive
“A profile on a book rating website in Bulhan’s name shows an interest in Islamic theology, listing a biography of the Prophet Mohamed and a book of Quran verses and hadiths as recent reads.” Mark Rowley, the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said: “So far we have found no evidence of radicalisation or anything that would suggest the man in our custody was motivated by terrorism.”
Has Mark Rowley ever read the life of Muhammad or any part of the Qur’an or Hadith? Almost certainly not. If he had, he would have come upon passages exhorting Muslims to kill non-Muslims (Qur’an 2:191; 4:89; 9:5; 47:4), as well as passages depicting Muhammad doing exactly that. So: “no evidence of radicalisation”? Only if one is unshakably committed to the unproven (and actually quite false) dogma that the Qur’an and Muhammad teach peace.
“Russell Square attack: London student Zakaria Bulhan named as suspect in stabbing that left American woman dead,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, August 5, 2016: (Jihad Watch)
London knifeman was “devout Muslim”; neighbor says had no mental problems
Immediately after the attack happened, British authorities said that the attacker had serious mental health issues and no link to terrorism. Now his neighbor has come forward and revealed that he had no mental health issues but a big interest in the Islamic State (ISIS). The British (and U.S.) authorities try to obscure the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists every time there is a jihad attack. They are doing everything they can to keep their people from getting the idea that there is a jihad threat at all. This is a grave disservice to Britons and Americans, and the ignorance and complacency this strategy fosters endanger us all.
“Was ‘devout Muslim’ Russell Square knifeman radicalised? Police to trawl ‘impressionable’ attacker’s PC for links to ISIS as neighbour claims mental illness is a ‘scapegoat,’” by Martin Robinson, Mailonline, August 5, 2016:
Counter-terror police will today forensically study computers belonging to the Russell Square knifeman as a neighbour claimed the ‘impressionable’ teenager could have been inspired by ISIS.
Scotland Yard believe Zakaria Bulhan, 19, a Norwegian national of Somali origin who moved to the UK in 2002, was not ‘motivated by terrorism’ but its officers are trawling his possessions for extremist material.
But neighbour Parmjit Singh, a BBC radio DJ known as ‘DJ Precious’ on the Asian network, said he had known ‘impressionable’ Bulhan for seven years, adding: ‘His mental health problems are a scapegoat.’
The 36-year-old said: ‘They said he had mental health issues but that was not the boy I knew.
‘The news of his mental illness is completely new, we never heard that. Honestly, I think his mental health problems are a scapegoat.’
Asked what he thought motivated the attack, Parmjit said: ‘I think peer pressure, hanging around with gangs. He wasn’t working, he was hanging around with Somalian boys and I think they had possible links to serious ISIS people – not directly, but they see all this stuff and are inspired by it.
‘Why would he attack an American woman tourist in a random attack? I think boys have put pressure on him to go there and do something. He was very impressionable growing up’. …
Pauline, it is an ideology!
Muhammad himself was a paranoid psychotic who wrote a book describing how great it was to be him, and how everyone else should strive to be like him – or else!
No further motives need by found for any of his followers!
