London - Suspects 'converted to Islam'

Two of the men arrested on suspicion of being involved in a terror plot to blow up a series of transatlantic planes had converted to Islam, it emerged.

Ibrahim Savant, from Walthamstow, east London, changed his name from Oliver when he converted, according to neighbours.

The 25-year-old student, whose Muslim wife is reportedly pregnant, was arrested at his family home in Folkestone Road.

Another suspect, who was not named by police, converted to Islam just six months ago. He was arrested during a raid at a house in Hepplewhite Close, High Wycombe.

According to locals, the property belonged to a white man whose behaviour had altered when he took up the religion.

"He converted to Islam about six months ago and grew a full beard," an 18-year-old local resident, who asked not to be named, said.

"He used to smoke weed and drink a lot, but he is completely different now."

is there any doubt that being or becoming a muslim leads to mental derangement ? Here is more proof positive

[onyx]

They were trusting converts. Amazing.

[vimto]

Just wondering if the SS were 'converted' to fascism.

"He used to smoke weed and drink a lot, but he is completely different now."
Yup. Now he blows up planes and kills people. That's what conversion to the ideology of death and destruction will do for you.

British Bomb Plotters Are “Just Oridinary Boys”

From the UK’s Daily Record:

Police officers stand outside a semi-detached house in High Wycombe, England, Thursday, Aug. 10, 2006, after a anti-terror raid.

OUR BOYS ARE JUST ORDINARY

11 August 2006

By Lucy Thornton

NEIGHBOURS of the 24 men arrested last night spoke of their shock at the police swoops on their homes.

They had looked on stunned as the men - including two cricket-loving brothers, a university student, a builder, a pizza worker, a businessman and a dad-to-be - were hauled away.

And here’s a nice touch from the UK’s Sun: Safeena, 24, said of her 23-year-old brother: “He saw it as his duty to stand up for his community and that’s what led him to know George Galloway. He has a lot of respect for him and has met him many times.”

Shows what banging your head on the ground while sniffing the koranus in front of you will do to your mental health and reasoning abilities!

Ban the koran! Ban it NOW!!!

notice how new converts take up terrorism courses. this is not the religion of peace.. the west is only the latest diversion,. Even if the whole world converted to Islam, sectarian violence would be the dish of the day for centuries. this is an evil religion.. it turns people into dehumanized hate-filled automatons

[LeoWindhorse]

what really puzzles me is how and why woman go for this sh|#
It is all so repressive to woman , and all the martyrdom business seems to be a total and direct contradiction to anything to do with motherhood. They just seem ...hmmmm....
other than human ?

"He used to smoke weed and drink a lot, but he is completely different now."

Gee, I wonder if anyone has ever done a survey on how many captured terrorist had drugs in their system?

""He used to smoke weed and drink a lot, but he is completely different now."

Now he's adopted a life of murder and mayhem.

Good freaking grief....I hope the US and Brit intel whizzes are all over this. We should be infiltrating them left and right with "converts".....

[BallyBill]

It is just a matter of time (Seattle?) before these freaks convert to Christianity as a cover to kill more people for their real master.

Why George Galloway is still running around loose over there is beyond me.

That's a good question- we covered the rogue here:

-MP George Galloway- voice cries "peace," hand in Saddam's till...--

"They were trusting converts. Amazing."

They are converting "lily whites"...people who don't look like Arabs and have no criminal records, so they could get on the planes easier. The Islamofascists are not "insane," but crazy like a fox, using all our freedoms against the West.

Some men absolutely hate themselves and curse their lives.

Some women feel the same way.

They are candidates for conversion, because then they get to despise all Humanity.

It may be time to start putting a few heads on the Tower Bridge. It has worked in the past to quite down those who would upset the Empire.

[AustinBill]

Book banning isn't the answer. A bit more scrutiny of the local "Imams" and what they are preaching might not be a bad idea, however.

I've always though the gibbet
infernal device - Gibbet
had a certain rude charm...

Then again, I think there's merit to the guillotine- especially the enraged peasants throwing offal at the condemned as the tumbrel draws them nigh...
