UK: Judge says Muslim driver who deliberately tried to run over and kill cops and cyclists had “terrorist motives”
OCT 16, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
Authorities in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain never dare to discuss or examine, much less confront, the actual nature of those “terrorist motives.”
The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
“Copycat terrorist who tried to kill police and cyclists is jailed for life,” by Emily Pennink, Mirror, October 14, 2019:
A copycat terrorist who tried to “kill as many people as possible” when he ploughed into cyclists and police officers outside Parliament has been jailed for life.
Salih Khater, 30, deliberately rammed his Ford Fiesta into a pedestrian and cyclists at a red light before trying to mow down two officers at 30mph on August 14 last year.
Mrs Justice McGowan found the refugee from Sudan had deliberately copied other terrorists as she jailed him on Monday for life with a minimum term of 15 years.
She said: “Your undoubted intention was to kill as many people as possible and by doing so spread fear and terror.”
The incident happened less than 18 months after a terrorist hit and killed four pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before fatally stabbing an unarmed police officer outside Parliament.
Dramatic CCTV footage showed Khater’s car ramming into the commuters in central London before careering into a security lane and crashing into barriers as two officers jumped out of the way.
The judge told him: “You replicated the acts of others who undoubtedly have acted with terrorist motives. You deliberately copied those others.
“It was an attack on strangers and police officers at the seat of democracy in this country.
“You are dangerous in that you present a significant risk of causing serious harm to the public in the future.
“Even acting alone, you acted for a terrorist purpose. All the evidence is consistent with that conclusion.”
The failed accountancy student, who arrived in Britain in 2010 as a refugee from Sudan, had a grudge against the Government but claimed he was lost and it was an accident.
Alison Morgan QC had told jurors the attack was “premeditated and deliberate” and had a terrorist motive, although the details were unclear
Really????
had “terrorist motives”
Wow, how did they crack this nut? Must have had the finest minds in England working on this.
Well, hell! Who would have guessed?
Ya don’t say!
