Suspicions confirmed: Liverpool bomber was a Mohammedan

If followers of Jesus Christ are called "Christians", what do you call followers of othe Prophet of the "Religion of Peace"? Why, "Mohammedans", of course.

Mohammedan (also spelled Muhammadan, Mahommedan, Mahomedan or Mahometan) is a term for a follower of Mohammed, the Prophet of Islam. It is used as both a noun and an adjective, meaning belonging or relating to, either Muhammad or the religion, doctrines, institutions and practices that he established. For some reason, the term "Mohammedan" has fallen into disuse, replaced nowadaysa by "Muslims", and sometimes "Islamists", although the latter term has a whiff of the Islamophobic about it. 

We mention "Islamists", in the sense of "Islamic terrorists", just in case it's not clear who Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the Disunited Kingdom, had in mind when he urged Brits to "be vigilant", as he announced that the UK's terror threat level was raised to '"severe" following the unintended suicide of a man who was trapped in a Liverpool taxi when the IED he was holding went off prematurely.

Why the alarm? Well, as Walt predicted (lifetime pct .990), the "man" turned out to be one Emad Jamil Al Swealmeen,a failed asylum seeker of Syrian and Iraqi heritage. He washed up on the shores of the UK several years ago, and in his bid to stay, changed his name to Enzo Almeni, in order to sound "more western". He also swore that he had converted to Christianity.

The late Mr Almeni (or Mr Al Swealmeen, whatever) was a pizza chef who police said had been living at a hostel for asylum seekers in Sutcliffe Street, Liverpool, for some time before renting what they called a "bomb factory" two miles away.

The sincerity of his conversion has no doubt already been tested in the next life, where, if the whole thing was a trick to gain entry to Europe for the purpose of killing infidels, he is doubtless being serviced by 72 virgins, even as we speak. 

But there will certainly be others. Inspector Knacker has advised Prime Minister Johnson that another attack on British soil is now "highly likely." This one came exactly a month after Conservative MP Sir David Amess was fatally stabbed during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Let's see what happens in the two weeks or so before Christmas.

Portrait of an Assassin

"Assassination" and "assassin" are words you don't hear or read much any more. The word "assassin" is often believed to derive from the word hashshashin (Arabic: حشّاشين), and shares its etymological roots with "hashish", because the original Assassins were believed to do their assassinating when under the influence of that drug.

The Assassins were group of Nizari Ismailis -- Muslims -- who worked against various political targets. Founded by Hassan-i Sabbah, the Assassins were active in the fortress of Alamut in Persia from the 8th to the 14th centuries A.D., and later expanded into a de facto state -- like a caliphate -- by acquiring or building many scattered strongholds. According to Wikipedia, the Assassins killed members of the Abbasid, Seljuk, Fatimid, and Christian Crusader elite for "political and religious reasons."

"Political and religious reasons", eh. Hmm. A week ago, Sir David Amess, a devout Catholic Member of the British Parliament was murdered while holding a meet-and-greet for his constituents. Was he killed for political and religious reasons? 

For almost a week, British authorities, motivated no doubt by political correctness and the need to avoid stoking the fires of Islamophobia, identified Sir David's killer as just "a man". When a truth-teller averred that the "man" was actually a Somali "refugee", the party line changed to "a British national of Somali descent." Still no name, and no mention of the killer's religion or motivation.

Yesterday the Crown Prosecution Service finally identified the "man" as Ali Harbi Ali, a 25-year-old "British man with Somali heritage." According to AlJazeera, Mr Ali is the son of Harbi Ali Kullane, a former media adviser to a former prime minister of Somalia. How Mr Ali became "British" is a mystery. So is his religion. 

The spokesthingy for the CPS did say, though, that "We will submit to the court that this murder has a terrorist connection, namely that it had both religious and ideological motivations. He has also been charged with the preparation of terrorist acts."

"Religious and ideological motivations", eh. Such as? When Mr Ali made his first court appearance yesterday, the Crown Prosecutor told the court that Mr Ali considered himself affiliated with the Islamic State, and had settled on a plan to kill a lawmaker "years ago".

The police, however, were a little more circumspect. Inspector Knacker of the Yard told the meeja, "I understand the huge level of public interest in this case, but now a charge has been brought, it is vitally important that everyone exercises restraint when commenting on it publicly, to ensure future court proceedings are not prejudiced in any way."

Yes. We mustn't let Islamophobia cause us to jump to any conclusions, or to call Mr Ali any names, like "assassin".

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in England - When will we learn?

It seems like just yesterday [It was just yesterday! Ed.] that I warned our readers that no-one is safe from Islamic terrorism. It doesn't matter what country you live in, or your station in life, high or low. Muslim extremists are waging jihad -- holy war -- on us "infidels", and if you present a target of opportunity, they'll kill you!

In yesterday's post, "'Allahu akbar!' in Norway - a lesson our 'leaders' haven't learned", I was referring to an "incident" in Norway in which a "homegrown terrorist" killed five and wounded two, using a bow and arrow. The victims were apparently random "infidels", who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Today comes news of a targeted attack on a "leader", a British politican.

Sir David Amess, a Member of Parliament, succumbed to his injuries after being stabbed several times during a meeting with his constituents at a church in eastern England.  A 25-year-old suspect has been arrested. That much we know from the controlled media. The official announcement from Essex police revealed even less. Here is the full text of their tweet: 

"A man has been arrested on suspicion murder after a man was stabbed in #LeighonSea. 

"We were called to Eastwood Road North shortly after 12.05pm. 

"Sadly, a man later died. A man was arrested at the scene.

"We are not looking for anyone else." 

That's it. Just "a man" murdered by another "a man". The lack of any information about the man's identity -- let alone his nationality, ethnicity, immigration status in the UK... or religion -- aroused suspicion. You can bet that if the perp had been a white, Christian, native-born Brit, he would have been identified as such immediately. Phrases like "white supremacist" and "right-wing extremist" would have been bandied about. 

The news broke around breakfast time (in our corner of the forest). It's now time for lunch, but so far there's "radio silence" when it comes to any information that might stoke the fires of Islamophobia. Except for one report, which I have seen attributed to the Daily Telegraph, but have been unable to access. It is said that the so-far unidentified man is a "British national of Somali heritage", which would make him a follower of the Prophet.

If that turns out to be true -- we'll update this post if, as and when -- it just proves once again the danger of allowing into our countries foreigners whose values do not mesh with hours, and who refuse to assimilate, preferring to change our countries to mesh with their religion and its barbaric practices. 

UPDATE added at 1625: From the Times of London: "A 25-year-old suspect, who is a British citizen, made no attempt to flee and was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. Police believe him to be Muslim and of Somali descent. He is being questioned by counterterrorism officers and the security services are examining possible links to Islamist extremists."

Suspicions confirmed! It doesn't matter whether or not they are connected to ISIS or Al-Qaeda. Even one "lone wolf", inspired by the injunction to kill infidels wherever they may be found, can do a lot of damage. When will our "leaders" -- those responsible for allowing such people to invade our countries -- learn this?!
