Will anyone examine the extent to which the British government’s anti-Israel bias and retailing of jihad propaganda contributed to an atmosphere in which this could happen?
“Counter Terror Police Say They Foiled ‘Imminent’ Yom Kippur Attack in Manchester,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, September 23, 2026:
British counter-terrorism police say they took proactive steps to foil an imminent terrorism plot targeting the Jewish community in Manchester, just hours away from Yom Kippur, and a year after the 2025 Yom Kippur synagogue attack in the same city.
Two men in their 30 were arrested under section 41 of the Terrorism Act on Sunday by specialist officers from counter-terrorism police and Britain’s domestic intelligence agency MI5. Police have been granted extra time to question the suspects in custody after they were transferred under armed guard to London, reports The Telegraph.
A hostel in Salford based in a substantial Victorian property and a flat in Manchester were searched as part of the arrests.
Police believe the arrests foiled an imminent plot to attack the Manchester Jewish community, and the arrests took place on Sunday afternoon just hours before the beginning of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year. The Guardian states police have not yet made an official statement on the ideology behind the planned attack, but that it is understood “far-right” extremism is considered unlikely and that Islamic extremism is being considered.
Given the alleged involvement of Iranian intelligence pushing attacks in the United Kingdom, a potential link with Tehran is also said to be under consideration.

Well, those arrested outside a military base the other day, have just been released on bail.
What were they doing, fly tipping?

The British government is virtue-signaling that they stopped an ‘Islamic Extremist’ plot and protected the British citizens as a result. However, The British government FAILS in identifying Islam and its Muslims as a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise which is the true, actual problem that the British citizens need to understand. In essence, the British government is NOT PROTECTING its citizens which is the primary reason for the existence of a British government.
Public Funding is a privilege that should NOT BE granted to organizations that are against the US Constitution or Western Constitutions. Totalitarian Islam and its Muslim Organizations including Muslim Schools and Mosques are against the US Constitution due to Muslim funding, teaching, and promoting discrimination, segregation, hatred, rape, violence, totalitarianism, and terrorism against Non-Muslims to make Islamic Law supreme. Islam’s Muslims are murderous, Totalitarian Terrorists of Allah operating as a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise under Islamic Law to ultimately conquer the enemies of Allah, the Non-Muslims, with Islamic Law DBA Islam(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.).

About that, terms Islamic extremists “ and “Radical Islam.”
The terms “Radical Islam” as well as “Islamic extremism” Western terms and unknown in the Muslim world. Therefore, those words not fitting term as the following explains.
For the terms Islamic extremism” and “Islamic extremist” as well as “Radical Muslim” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East.
This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam.”
In addition, those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant aloud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”

One lie about the religion of Islam that the Western news media keep telling the public is that there are to different kinds of Islam, which are ‘Islamic extremists” and “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam.”
Tucker Carlson with his talk about “Radical Islam” is revealing that he must be a very ignorant man.
For many scholars on Islam ,such as Brigitte Gabriel and Robert Spencer, had explain that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” Western terms and are unknown to the Islamic world. As one of their leader said “Islam is Islam”
Furthermore, a Muslim in an Islamic country would view that a Westerner would call a “Radical Muslim” in a Muslim nation he would be seen as a “devote Muslim” who is totally committed to the cause of Islam by the way of the violent jihad,
By contrast what a Westerner would call a “moderate Muslim’ many Muslims in Asia as well as the Middle East call a Muslim who is not really living up to his faith in Islam by not taking up arms in the violence and killing of the jihad for Islam.
Therefore many of Muslim, overseas , would call him a “hypocrite” This is way many devote Muslim who are violent jihadists gather together in a group and chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites ” Meaning “Death to non-Muslims and non-violent, jihadist Muslims.
