Not so shocking. Jihad recruitment in Britain

Who would have thought that muslims in the UK read the koran? The only shock in this story is the authorities will still not act on the information.

A TEENAGER has revealed how he was recruited by Al-Qaeda-inspired extremists and groomed to carry out suicide attacks in Britain.
-There is not a sizeable islamic community anywhere in the world that can not name a young man that wasted his life in a jihad.

In the first insider account of how radicals are preying on vulnerable Muslim youths, the teenager describes being approached by Islamists at a mosque in south London that was used by the failed 21/7 bombers, and indoctrinated at a secret network of squats.

Aged 15, he was the youngest of about 50 recruits who were shown “martyrdom” videos and encouraged to travel to Pakistan to receive terrorist training.
-I do not attend any type of Bible classes or the like but I strongly doubt any Christian Church recruits and encourages children to be terrorists. The cult of islam is unique, born of violence its rampage against mankind has brought nothing of value to mankind.

The youth, who is called Adam, told The Sunday Times: “They showed us a jihadist video with the martyrdom flags behind the guy speaking, and the message I got was that I should prepare myself for martyrdom.
-As opposed to studying hard and becoming someone that will be beneficial to society. Nice message.

“I know a few of the others accepted that they would go [for training in Pakistan]. Some of the young people said, ‘I’m going to go’. That was the ultimate purpose of what these men were doing: what they were doing was training people up to carry out operations in the UK.”
-Tens of thousands travel between Pakistan and the UK each year. Even if only a small percentage goes for terror training, the UK has a major problem brewing.

Adam, who is now 18, quit the group after a year. The whereabouts of most of the other recruits is unknown.

“It was quite shocking to me,” he said. “I started to think, ‘Well, hold on a second, I don’t want to kill anybody. Yeah, I’ve got anger inside me, but this isn’t the right way to deal with this’.”

Adam, whose real name is being withheld to protect his safety, is now enrolled in a rehabilitation programme for would-be terrorists.
-The writer could have used any name for this story. I find it odd that he picked a Biblical one and not a more traditional islamic name. Why not call the kid mohammed?

The scheme is a blueprint for a nationwide “detoxification” programme backed by the Home Office and police chiefs to which 200 people — some as young 13 — have been referred.
-Nice try but the pedophile mohammeds call for jihad will not be silenced by a program.

When Adam fell under the spell of extremists at the Stockwell mosque in Lambeth in 2005, he was floundering at school, had few friends and was desperately in need of some direction.
-Wow the minions can cast “spells” now, that is new.

He was the eldest of seven children whose Algerian father had died when he was just eight, and his new friends’ talk of Muslim brotherhood seemed to offer the stability he craved.
-Cute attempt to show a misguided youth seeking stability but reality is even muslims with a supportive family send their children for terror training. Until the so called experts stop looking for excuses and read one simple book they will not understand the real motivation for jihad.

“A lot of people think that terrorists are recruited in special recruiting grounds, but the truth is that it actually goes on in mosques a lot of the time,” said the gangly south London teenager.
-That simple truth will be ignored. Authorities always seem to ignore the obvious and look in the wrong direction for answers. Seeking answers by studying crime figures, poverty rates and hiring experts in behavioral sciences will not help; it will not stop jihad recruitment or erase the religious like ideology behind it.
