UK: Woman converts to Islam, plots massacre, says “I want to kill a lot…a day like Christmas or Easter, kill more”
When did you last hear about a convert to Christianity or any other religion get the idea that his or her new religion commanded violence against unbelievers? Yet this is a frequently recurring phenomenon among converts to Islam. No authorities anywhere, however, have ever shown the slightest interest in this.
“UK’s first female suicide bomb plotter, 37, planned to blow up St Paul’s at Easter to ‘kill as many as possible,’” by Brittany Vonow, The Sun, June 23, 2020:
THE UK’s first female suicide bomb plotter, 37, planned to blow up St Paul’s at Easter to “kill as many as possible”, a court heard today.
Safiyya Amira Shaikh, 37, carried out a trip to the City of London to scope out St Paul’s as a potential target while staying in a hotel.
The former company director tried to make contact with a bomb maker online and asked them to build two improvised explosive devices while plotting to “kill as many people as possible”.
Shaikh later met with her contact, and handed them two bags, in which the IEDs were to be placed, not realising she was an undercover officer.
Prosecutors said she intended to leave one of the devices in the hotel and then carry the other into St Paul’s, where she would detonate it, killing herself and as many other innocent people as possible….
Shaikh became radicalised in 2015 after converting to Islam in 2007 following an act of kindness from a neighbouring Muslim family.
Christened Michelle Ramsden, she became isolated from her family during her conversion.
Shaikh fell out with Imams who were cautious of her increasingly violent interpretations of the faith and turned to radical groups for support….
“I want to kill a lot”, she told the officer. “I would like to do church… a day like Christmas or Easter good, kill more.
“I always send threats. But I want to make threats real.” She sent a picture of St Paul’s Cathedral to the officer and wrote: ‘I would like to do this place for sure.
‘I would like bomb and shoot ’til death… I really would love to destroy that place and the kaffir [enemies of IS] there.’ Just over a week later she visited St Paul’s and sent videos to her contact, writing: “I will to the bomb under the dome.
“I will also do something in hotel, then church, then kill til I’m dead.”
Shaikh appeared in the dock today dressed in a purple cardigan and black hijab….
