“I want to kill a lot”

Cue the BBC’s latest report on “Islamophobia.” Authorities have shown again and again and again that they have no interest whatsoever in the all-too-frequently recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam turning to treason and mass murder. This article shows yet again how foolish and short-sighted they are: “Shaikh converted to Islam in 2007 after being impressed by the kindness of her Muslim neighbours but later became isolated and apparently rejected mainstream Islam.”

Is that so? And why did she reject “mainstream Islam”? Why were her kind Muslim neighbors unable to bring her back to the true, peaceful Islam and convince her of the falsity of the twisted, hijacked version that she was buying into?

Neither “journalists” nor law enforcement officials ever ask such questions, or ponder their implications. That’s why we’re in the fix we’re in.

“St Paul’s bomb plot: IS supporter Safiyya Shaikh pleads guilty,” Reuters, February 21, 2020:

A supporter of the banned Islamic State terror group has admitted plotting to blow herself up in a bomb attack on St Paul’s Cathedral.

Muslim convert Safiyya Shaikh went on a reconnaissance trip to scope out the London landmark and a hotel.

The 36-year-old, born Michelle Ramsden, was arrested after asking an undercover police officer to supply bombs.

At the Old Bailey, Shaikh, of west London, admitted preparing an act of terrorism and will be sentenced in May.

She was considered such a threat that MI5 made her the highest-level priority for investigation in the weeks before her arrest, according to Whitehall security sources.

It meant she was subject to a level of surveillance reserved for only the most dangerous potential attackers.

Over the two months before her arrest in October 2019, Shaikh built up a relationship with two undercover officers who were posing as a husband and wife extremist team.

She messaged one of them via an encrypted social media app.
‘Bomb under the dome’

“I want to kill a lot,” she told the officer. “I would like to do church… a day like Christmas or Easter good, kill more.

“I always send threats. But I want to make threats real.”

She sent a picture of St Paul’s Cathedral to the officer and wrote: “I would like to do this place for sure.

“I would like bomb and shoot ’til death… I really would love to destroy that place and the kaffir there.”

Shaikh converted to Islam in 2007 after being impressed by the kindness of her Muslim neighbours but later became isolated and apparently rejected mainstream Islam.

She began to court the extremist violent ideology of IS and other jihadist groups and by 2016 Shaikh stopped attending mosques….
