After the Manchester synagogue attack, I began tracing two decades of Islamic terrorism in Britain – uncovering a disturbing pattern hidden in plain sight. This is not prejudice. It’s record-keeping – and a warning about policies putting us all at risk.
I didn’t learn about the Manchester synagogue terrorist attack until I opened my phone after Yom Kippur had ended. I had also missed messages from my cousin, who had witnessed the event and been evacuated from her home by the police.
By 7:30 the following morning, I had already traced the terrorist to a street in Manchester, built his family tree, found the father’s Facebook page, and had seen the extremist support displayed there.
But this post is not about the Manchester attack specifically.
As I looked through the October 7 ‘celebratory’ posts shared by the terrorist’s father, I had a strong sense of déjà vu – and I was taken back to Ali Harbi Ali and the murder of the MP Sir David Amess.
A terrorist with parents born in a war-torn backwater. Extremist posts on the father’s timeline. Family statements insisting they were ‘shocked’ and had no idea where the radicalisation came from.
I started to wonder: How many of the Islamic terror attacks we’ve seen since 7/7 were carried out by someone who was either born overseas – or whose parents were?
This is what I found:
Four suicide bombers targeted London’s transport network, killing 52 people and injuring hundreds.
A failed attempt to replicate the 7/7 attacks. Only the detonators exploded. All four principal bombers were born abroad:
Additional conspirators (all foreign born):
Parviz Khan – born UK, parents from Pakistan
Car bombs failed to detonate in London; a jeep packed with explosives was later driven into Glasgow Airport.
Attempted bombing of a restaurant in Exeter.
Mohamed Abdulaziz Rashid Saeed-Alim – UK born convert (Nicky Reilly), radicalised online by al-Qaeda sympathisers abroad
A female terrorist stabbed her local Member of Parliament.
Roshonara Choudhry – 21-year-old student – born in UK, parents from Bangladesh
Lee Rigby, a fusilier in the British army, was murdered by two men on the streets of Woolwich, London. The terrorists tried, but failed, to decapitate him.
Terrorist, armed with a knife, who attacked tube passengers at Leytonstone station in London, and tried to behead one of them.
Muhaydin Mire – born in Somalia
Asad Shah was an Ahmadi, a minority sect rejected and often persecuted by most mainstream Muslim groups. The terrorist said he killed him because he had ‘disrespected Islam’.
Tanveer Ahmed – born in Pakistan
Five people died, and at least 50 people were injured after a terror attack near the Houses of Parliament.
Khalid Masood – convert (born Adrian Elms) – born UK
Suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert killed 22 and injured over 1,000.
Eight people were killed after terrorists ploughed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before launching a knife attack.
A terrorist attacked three police officers with a sword outside Buckingham Palace. The terrorist duped the jury, and was later convicted for planning other terror attacks.
Mohiussunnath Chowdhury – born in UK, parents from Bangladesh
A terrorist put a bomb on an underground train. It failed to detonate properly, but still managed to injure about 30 people.
Ahmed Hassan – asylum seeker – born in Iraq
A terrorist deliberately rammed a car into cyclists and pedestrians by the Houses of Parliament.
Salih Khater – born in Sudan
Mohamud stabbed a 56-year-old man multiple times. Mohamud then proceeded to slash a 57-year-old woman across the face before stabbing her multiple times. A police officer was also stabbed during the arrest.
Mahdi Mohamud – born in the Netherlands, parents from Somalia
Two University of Cambridge alumni were murdered at a rehabilitation event at Fishmongers’ Hall. The terrorist had previously been jailed for planning terror attacks.
Usman Khan – born in UK, parents from Pakistan

A terrorist wearing a hoax suicide device stabbed two people in Streatham High Street.

While it took place in Texas, this hostage siege was carried out by a British Muslim who had travelled to the US. The terrorist interrupted a morning service at a synagogue in Colleyville and was shot and killed after a 10-hour standoff with police.
Malik Faisal Akram – born in UK, parents born in Pakistan
Terrorist murdered a 70-year-old grandfather and attempted to murder a second man (the key target – a Muslim convert to Christianity).
Ahmed Ali Alid – asylum seeker – born in Morocco
Two Jewish people were killed in a car-ramming and stabbing attack outside a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur.
Jihad Al-Shamie – born in Syria
The names, dates, and convictions are all public. The pattern speaks for itself.
We allow extremists in from war-torn Libya, they blow up the Manchester Arena. From Somalia, they murder a sitting MP. From Syria, they murder Jews outside a synagogue.
These nations, and others like them, are sectarian backwaters full of repression, extremism, division and violence. Yet UK authorities do almost no due diligence before allowing hundreds of thousands to enter each year. It is a suicidal policy – born of false beliefs, left-wing idealism and wilful ignorance.
But that is not the whole story. We also let known Islamic terrorists out of jail – men who have already plotted Islamic terror attacks – and within weeks they have killed on our streets. Our schools have abandoned any sense of national pride or identity – leaving a vacuum – that allows some of the extremists we welcome to pass the hate they brought with them on to their children, here on British soil. And why don’t we push back? Because of failed ideas that give respect where it is neither earned nor due.
And as this continues, we pretend everything is fine. Our borders remain open, with record numbers crossing each year.
During this same period, there were just three deadly far-right attacks (Mohammed Saleem, Jo Cox, Makram Ali) and one of those was a foreign national who had been in the UK less than a week (Pavlo Lapshyn). Yet to ‘balance things up’ our authorities behave – supported by certain media outlets that cannot stop lying to us – as if the threats are equal.
Worse still, the government is now working to introduce a formal definition of ‘Islamophobia’ – something so dangerously misplaced that even writing what you have just read could, one day, be treated as hate speech. It is a back-door to the re-imposition of blasphemy law and a tool to silence those who speak out against suicidal policies.
This is a perfect storm that will only lead to further bloodshed.
It is time to start telling the truth.

C’mon now - don’t look back in anger.
Looking back at Trump’s muslim ban from certain trouble countries..
Islam is bloodshed. It rages against others, and against schismatic elements within itself, because that is the root.
The Hadith, collected by Bukhari (4.52.220) goes as follows:"Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them)."
The only question is - can they right the ship?
