Where did Matthew King get the idea that he and other Muslims should kill non-Muslims wherever they see them? British authorities, as determinedly clueless as ever, claim he was “radicalized” on the Internet, but as always, they don’t explain how exactly this happens. What did King see on the Internet that supposedly made him discard the allegedly peaceful Islam he is assumed to have learned in the local mosque?
In the real world, Matthew King likely got the idea about killing non-Muslims from the Qur’an itself. It says “kill them wherever you find them” twice (2:191, 4:89), and “kill the polytheists wherever you find them” (9:5). British authorities can never, ever admit that possibility. Its implications for them would be too terrible to contemplate.
More on this story. “Essex teenager Matthew King who planned terror attack targeting police and military jailed for at least six years,” Sky News, June 2, 2023:
A teenager from Essex has been sentenced to at least six years in prison after admitting he was planning a terror attack on the police and military.
Judge Mark Lucraft KC said Matthew King, 19, from Wickford, was a danger to the public.
Sentencing him to life, Judge Lucraft said King must serve at least six years before he can be considered for parole….
He had told an online girlfriend about his desire to torture and kill an American or British soldier and had also posted an image of a police officer with the caption: “Target acquired.”
He had been scoping out targets and had previously talked about wanting to carry out a “mass casualty attack” on the public.
Detectives believe King had selected his target and was preparing to carry out an attack when they arrested him….
The calls to police were made between 14 and 18 April last year, after King shared a video on a WhatsApp group, according to prosecutors.
The video shared on 13 April featured a still image of a man holding a knife and the words on the screen: “Those who said that there is no jihad and no battle. They are lying! Our jihad will continue until the Day of Judgment!
“Now the battle has begun. So take out your sword, O youth, and destroy the kufr [infidels].”…
Mr Murphy said King was a “committed, self-initiated terrorist,” who “had radicalised himself in his room using the internet”….
King also set up an account with the online store Knife Warehouse in an effort to buy a blade in December 2021, and in March 2022, bought “tactical” gloves and goggles from an army surplus store….
In conversations on Snapchat with a female friend, later recovered from his phone, King discussed his desire to travel to Syria to take part in violent jihad and talked about becoming a martyr, on a number of occasions.
King told the girl that he was training for jihad and wanted to kill people.
In one particularly graphic exchange, he talked about his desire to torture and kill an American or British soldier.
He also joined an online chat group, in which he discussed subjects including terrorist financing and different routes to travel out to Syria.
At one point, he updated his WhatsApp status to “Kill non-Muslims, wherever you see them”.
On two occasions between March and May 2022, King took a photograph of police officers in Stratford, east London, and on a third occasion, filmed the side entrance of Stratford Police Station as he walked past.
Last May he also made a short film of an army barracks in Stratford….
In a prison phone call, King told his mother: “I’m not extreme anymore.”…

I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
Having been born in (in a Judeo-Christian family) in an Islamic country and having lived 30 years of my life in that God forsaken country before immigrating to the West, given what I know about muslims and the islamic ideology I hope the UK authorities have not fallen for this teen convert’s lies because if he’s let off the hook he is bound to kill someone.

The psychopath is the most likely person to “convert” to islam because iislam demands that kind of mindset… lie, steal, con, rape, murder, manipulate, lie some more and pretend to have done nothing wrong; and that when wrong happens, it’s the fault of someone else.
Psychopaths are very adept at lying to get what they want and to avoid punishment. Never trust a psychopath. Never trust a mozlum.
DHZ says
The phenomenon of converting to a religion then believing your new faith compels you to murder is exclusively an Islamic one. And there doesn’t need to be any in-person learning involved. You will never hear of anyone ever converting to Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and then start making plans to murder innocent people. The god of Islam is easily annoyed, petty, and sadistic. The fools who believe he exists and actually follow his rules to the letter call themselves Jihadis and as a group are focused on bringing the rest of the World down to their level. That’s right, joining Islam is a dumbing down process.

It is Britanistan, FFS!
Matthew King will serve about three weeks in a Minimum Security facility, then be released to practice the “religion of peace”.
Why is there no “Smiley face” icon that shows someone pukeing?

In the video (not shown!), why the American spelling “Judgment”, not the British spelling “Judgement”?
