Another fanatic in the UK
The Telegraph reports:
A teenage Islamist fanatic who idolised the Lee Rigby killers was caught in the street with a hammer and knife on his way to behead a British soldier, a court heard.
Brustholm Ziamani, 19, was stopped and found with the weapons wrapped inside an Islamic flag and had researched a series of military bases around London. …
He went by the name Mujahid Karim on social media and in May last year posted on Facebook that Sharia Law was on its way to the streets of the UK.
He added: “We will get Dem kufar (non-beliveers) soon, we r soliders of Allah.” …
The jury heard how police had previously found a five-page letter belonging to Ziamani after attended a flat in Camberwell in June.
Addressed to his parents, he said what he was “about to do is an obligation”.
He said because he had no way of getting to Syria or Iraq he would “wage war against the british government on this soil the british government will have a taste ov there own medicine they will be humiliated this is ISIB Islamic States of Ireland and Britain.”
He warned: “You people will never be safe Brits and americans Russian thousands upon thousands ov muslims due daily.
“Now we will take a thousand ov yours then tens thousands and send you all to hell-fire. You want war you got it British soldiers heads will be removed and burend u cannot defeat the muslims we love to die the way you love to live.
“My fellow muslim brothers these people want war lets kill them slaughter them and implement sharia in our lands and UK.
“Kill every gay, every Shia, every les.”
It is easy to dismiss these as the rants of an illiterate moron.
However he was arrested as he was on his way to kill one or more British soldiers, armed with a hammer and knife so he could behead them.
What is scary in this case is how quickly he became radicalised – just a few months.
