Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Convicted jihad terrorist who plotted consulate, church bombings running for Birmingham City Council

By

The Islamization of Britain proceeds apace. Butt should be barred from running, but that would be “Islamophobic.” However, he doesn’t hesitate to invoke the Qur’an to disclose what he thinks of the native population of shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain:

“Convicted terrorist who plotted consulate, church bombings to run in UK election,” by Efrat Lachter, Fox News, January 29, 2026:

A Muslim activist who served a prison sentence for his role in an overseas terror plot is now seeking elected office in Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city, as local elections approach amid heightened communal tensions.

Shahid Butt was convicted by a Yemeni court in 1999 and sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of forming an armed gang and conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Aden, an Anglican church and a Swiss-owned hotel in Yemen. At the time, Yemeni prosecutors said the group had been sent to carry out violence by Abu Hamza, the extremist preacher who was the father of one of the convicted men.

He is now standing as a candidate for the newly formed Independent Candidates Alliance in the May 7 Birmingham City Council elections.

Butt maintains his innocence, claiming his confession was coerced through torture, and that evidence against him was planted, The Daily Telegraph reported.

He will contest the Sparkhill ward, an area where nearly two-thirds of residents are of Pakistani background, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Butt’s candidacy comes as Birmingham — home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the U.K. — has faced renewed strains over foreign policy, identity politics and public order. Those tensions came into sharp focus last November when Israeli soccer club Maccabi Tel Aviv played Aston Villa in a Europa Conference League match.

Ahead of the game, Butt used social media to call on Muslims from around the country to travel to Birmingham to show solidarity with Palestinians and to prevent the Israeli team’s supporters from, in his words, “desecrating” and “dirtying” the city. In one post, he referred to the visiting fans as “IDF babykillers,” according to Birmingham Live.

Authorities ultimately barred Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending the match, citing security concerns, after large-scale protests were planned.

In a video posted from a protest connected to the fixture, Butt made comments that critics say crossed from political speech into the endorsement of violence. “Muslims are not pacifists,” Butt said in the video. “If somebody comes into your face, you knock his teeth out — that’s my message to the youth.”…

  1. And he’ll probably win. I feel bad for the true Brits sill around….and their children, esp.

  2. One of the single saddest events in my entire life has been watching the utter destruction of England for reasons that are 100% indefensible. My very moniker here, Wellington, was taken by me when I first started posting here at JW back around 2008 because of admiration for England in general and the Iron Duke specifically (Wellesley would indeed be appalled at what has happened to his country were he still here).

    I have no English blood in me, none, and yet since I have been a young man there is no polity in all of Europe, for that matter in all of history, that I have admired more than England. There have been a few I have admired as much, for instance ancient Greece and my own nation, America (OK, maybe with America even a bit more than ancient Greece and England but I digress) and thus consistently I am saddened by what has happened to this once great country, even to the extent of not being capable any longer of visiting it, so sad in my heart has its ongoing demise for absolutely no good reason created in me.

    • Wellington

      What is unbelievable is either the ignorance or the willingness of Europeans since 2011 – the Arab Spring – to open their doors to millions of muslims from worldwide, not just civil war torn Syria, but from Bangladesh to Senegal. That they’d actually think that muslim populations are compatible w/ their own

      • Infidel, you bring to mind those awful scenes from Egypt and other nations….the rioting, surging mobs of muzzies; hearing of the raping by hordes of them against the journalist, etc.

        And then these are the same hordes invading….and being welcomed….in Europe.

      • Yes, Infidel, it is unbelievable and so once again reality demonstrates that it is more powerful (and sobering) than “mere” belief.

    • Thank you Wellington.

      It is good to know that folk like you are watching and in sympathy.

      As I read these comments I get tired of folk commenting that we English have lost our balls etc.

      I would ask such people to give us the benefit of their wisdom in terms of practical advice.

      My country cannot be saved by voting.

      It cannot be saved by force of arms because we don’t have any.

      I am ready to fight none the less.

      We must be on our feet at least, before we go down.

  3. This sack of shit will be PM in few years.

    We are entitled to take this turd out, along with countless more.

  5. Brought to you by the Islamic Republic of shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.

  7. UNBELIEVABLE. That this is happening to one of the greatest countries in world history. Then again look at Minnesota in the good old USA, falling for the same self hating lie.

    Why was he not deported?

    Note that my English mother was born in Birmingham in saner times.
