Fair Game

One hopes that Pope Francis, that most learned of imams, will hurry to Britain to explain to Mohiussunnath Chowdhury that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

“Buckingham Palace sword attacker said killing pregnant women is ‘fair game’ if they weren’t Muslim, court hears,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, January 27, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Buckingham Palace sword attacker told his sister he was about to launch “another attack” months after being acquitted of a terror offence, the court has heard.

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury allegedly trained for an attack on potential targets including a gay Pride parade and Madame Tussauds after being freed from custody at the end of a retrial.

Woolwich Crown Court heard that the 28-year-old told undercover police officers of his intentions and said that any non-Muslims were “fair game”.

On 20 June – six months after his release from prison – a covert recording showed him telling his sister, Sneha Chowdhury, that he was quitting his job at a chicken shop in Luton.

“I’m doing another attack bruv,” Mr Chowdhury said. “I’m serious bro, it’s about time now.”

But giving evidence at his trial, he claimed he made the comment “for attention” and did not mean it….

At trial, he claimed that he drove to London with a large sword and drew it on police while shouting “Allahu akbar” because he felt suicidal and wanted to be shot dead.

After his release, Mr Chowdhury was recorded telling undercover police, his cousin and a friend that his real intention had been to kill the officers in a terror attack.

But being questioned by prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC on Monday, he claimed his original defence was true.

“I said what I said to impress [the undercover officers],” he said. “The defence was entirely true.”…

When the friend said that he could not condone the murder of a pregnant woman or children, he replied: “Allah answers it very clearly in the Quran.”

Mr Chowdhury added: “It’s halal [permissible] because it is not sacred. if they’re not Muslim then they’re fair game.”…
