New in PJ Media:
A young Englishman named Jason Savage was looking for something in his life, and so he converted to Islam in 2012. That’s not surprising in today’s Britain, where the far-left Church of England teaches only shadows and vestiges of Christianity, and Islam is essentially the only alternative to the materialistic secularism that has led so many to find life empty and pointless. In a very real sense, however, Savage’s conversion to Islam is when his troubles began. Now he is facing life in prison, although in the UK that is likely to mean that he will spend only sixteen years behind bars. Savage’s story is similar to that of a great many converts to Islam who become jihadis, but this time there’s a twist.
The UK’s Press Association reported Friday that Savage was “found guilty in January of plotting to stab an Islamic cleric who was an outspoken critic of terrorism, after jurors were shown footage of him filming a reconnaissance ‘mission’ near a mosque and Islamic bookstore.” On Friday, he went to prison “after a judge said messages he had sent showed that he believed he would die while committing a terrorist attack.”
And so here we have yet another convert to Islam who somehow got the crazy idea that his new, peaceful religion commanded him to commit violence against those outside the fold. Unlike other convert jihadis, however, Savage didn’t primarily target non-Muslims; instead, he decided to murder an imam whose view of Islam differed from his own, specifically on the question of the permissibility of Islamic jihad terrorism: “video footage released by West Midlands Police after Savage was convicted showed him filming reconnaissance near a mosque in Wright Street, Small Heath, Birmingham, in March last year.”
Savage is caught on the video talking about how he would escape the area after committing his act of jihad. He says: “That seems like the best way to get away – the police will probably come from that way.” The Press Association adds that along with “charting different routes into the mosque, Savage, who had adapted the handle of a knife found at his home, was heard to say: ‘Just needs the means now. Ask Allah to give man the means, bro.’”
Savage was planning to attack a Muslim cleric, as well as a “bookstore and mosque in the Small Heath area,” because the targeted imam’s “approach to the Salafi movement was ‘entirely at odds’ with his own.” The unnamed imam, as well as his mosque, publishing house, and retail store, “advocated a strand of Salafism that stresses the importance of non-involvement in social or political activism.” The imam whom Savage wanted to send to Allah was “an ‘outspoken critic’ of Islamist terrorism, arguing that it was entirely incompatible with the true essence of Islam.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

The UK has become a dystopian nightmare.. Glad they got this one correct but can we please stop arresting people for having opinions.? You can’t criticize Islam on any form in the UK, what even is that?
WPM says
Savage is a jihadist savage. Converts seem worse then people born into it they have made a choice Islam a magnet for violent losers .If he was a “Christian” who made it his mission to kill a anti-jihad Moslem in the name of what he calls “Christ” it would be international news ,but Moslems plotting to kill Moslems in the name of Allah common every event world wide. .

Yeah, he has an appropriate name, given the cult he chose to endorse. He needn’t even assume an islamic name, although that would definitely help. I do love that he thought that he knew more about islam than an imam (presumably Paki or Arab??), although he was probably right in this case
I suspect he had a communications breakdown w/ allah. After all, allah doesn’t understand English, and he doesn’t understand Arabic

Like Islam, Leftists are totalitarian, discriminatory, and violent against any opponents to help gain ultimate power and control. Still, Islam is a Terrorist, Criminal Gang Enterprise against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise, and its predatory believers continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners(Quran 9:5,29; 49:15; 60:4 and more).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29; 49:15 and more).
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a Crime against Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-destructive way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:65,89,95; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49,73,88,111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4 and more).

Consideration needs to be given if those with evil intent convert to Islam to give them cover for their evil intentions ?

You’re making too much sense! There’s a reason why islam does a lot of recruiting in prisons, men’s prisons, with large groups of stupid, violent and angry losers ripe for the picking.
OLD GUY says
Yes our prison systems are a prime recruiting area for Islamic teachings of hate and violence to prisoners who are in there for exactly those hate and violent crimes.
The other location that recruits and teaches hate and violence is the Mosque. They begin the recruitment and training with vary young children.
