ISIS supporter foiled in attempt to blow up St Paul's Cathedral ...
 
... because she was too stoned!

Quote:

A female supporter of Islamic State has been jailed for life after plotting to kill as many people as she could by planting a bomb under the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Safiyya Amira Shaikh, 36, who is thought to be Britain’s first solo female Isil bomb plotter, gave a one fingered salute used by the terror group as she was handed a life sentence with a minimum of 14 years at the Old Bailey on Friday.

She was caught by undercover officers last year as she planned to plant two explosive devices in central London, one at the historic cathedral and one at a nearby hotel.

Recorded calls caught her saying she would have gone ahead with the attack if not for being high on drugs on the day she planned, despite her solicitor saying in mitigation that she never intended to carry out the plot....

Being serious though why live in a country that you hate? I don't get people like her.

This isn't a rarity. A lot more common than we think.

She could always have flown to Turkey with an inflatable dingy and pretend to have just washed up.

Aye, that simple isn’t it

The IS dream is a world-wide caliphate. They have said they will not stop till their flag is flying over the Whitehouse. That's why they live here.

Oh come on, it's not that easy to move country :laugh: admittedly, it wouldn't be difficult to move to an EU country, but how many of them match her worldview?

I’m not going to engage in a debate with someone who has no interest in actually listening to anything anyone says, so I’m good tah

I mean, this woman is a massive exemption, she’s been indoctrinated by an extremist group that hates everything and everyone that isn’t like them, but when the general response to anyone who criticises the country they live in is to ‘just leave then’ it’s so ignorant it’s painful

Ammi 03-07-2020 03:26 PM

...she was a Christian but became radicalised...?...it’s good that she didn’t succeed with what she intended and I hope that she serves all of her 14 years...

Agreed. They target vulnerable suggestible people like her and radicalise them so they are at their bidding,she was a willing stooge is all.
We are lucky this plot was discovered.
