Another day, another convert to the religion of peace busted for plotting an act of jihad. What a shock! Still no actual steps taken by any Western government to name the enemy. We wouldn’t want to offend the jihadis who want to destroy our way of life, now, would we?

Muslim ex-public schoolboy ‘made his own suicide bomb vest to look cool’

A former public schoolboy accused of making his own suicide vest using home-made explosives described in court how he became interested in explosives to make himself ‘cool’ and ‘popular’.

Isa Ibrahim, formerly known as Andrew in his school days, also told the court he started using hard drugs such as heroin and crack cocaine while at school and played online computer games for extended periods.

He went on to describe how he would play and interact with his collection of teddy bears until he was 18.

Appearing at Winchester Crown Court today, the 20-year-old denies making an explosive with intent to endanger life or cause serious injury to property in the UK in April 2008.

He also denies a charge of preparing terrorist acts by purchasing material to make an explosive, making that explosive, buying material to detonate the explosive, carrying out ‘reconnaissance’ before the act, and ‘making an improvised suicide vest’.

Ibrahim pleaded guilty to a third charge of making an explosive substance.

The prosecution claims he was preparing to carry out a terrorist attack on the Broadmead shopping centre in Bristol.

Ibrahim told the court that when he was only 12 or 13, he began researching about explosives, extremist groups and conspiracy theories because they were ‘controversial’.

The trial heard that he became increasingly radicalised after converting to Islam and consequently changed his name from Andrew Philip Michael Ibrahim.

This keeps on happening, Westerners converting to islam and showing jihadi tendencies (like this asshat), or becoming full fledged jihadis (Adam Gadahn, John Walker Lindh, Carlos Bledsoe) in the name of islam. And yet our leaders still bullshit us with “Islam is a religion of peace”, and “Islam has made many contributions…” type lines. I have yet to actually SEE anyone point out a single contribution…
