      “Two men have been found guilty of plotting to “kill as many Jewish people as they could”, in what detectives believe would have been the UK’s worst terror attack if it hadn’t been thwarted.

      Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, have been found guilty at Preston crown court of preparing acts of terrorism between 13 December 2023 and 9 May 2024. Jurors were told they were Islamist extremists with a “visceral dislike” of Jewish people who planned a marauding attack in Greater Manchester.

      The Saadaoui brothers, who are originally from Tunisia and had been living in the UK for several years legally, swore allegiance to Islamic State before coming to the UK, while Hussein, who had also sworn allegiance to Islamic State, had served in Saddam Hussein’s army.”

      It’s scary to think what might have happened if they hadn’t been stopped. The undercover officers truly deserve recognition for their work.

      Could have originally moved to a country without Jewish people. It was a choice to move here.

      Can we actually start doing something to stop the growth of Islamist extremists in this country?

      Instead of just letting the problem grow.

      Might not be the right thread for it, but this thread made me ask: why is it that there’s so many attacks against Jewish people? Most recently Bondi Beach and this planned attack, although I’m sure there’s 100 others within the last few years alone that don’t make the news.

      Follow the breadcrumb trail of their radicalisation and expose and immobilize the proverbial Hydra.

      The figures shown in the article don’t exactly seem radiate intellect. A level of Street-savvy, perhaps. cunning in the small, grubby ways of alleyway survival – but intellectually threadbare, a wasteland of L-O-W M-E-N-T-A-L-I-T-Y.

      Which rather suggests a trail of crumbs leading somewhere darker: away from mere stupidity and towards something more calculated, more predatory.

      It’s a relief they were stopped – but most probably hope the authorities aren’t content with that alone.

      The real task is the forensic unpicking of how such types slide from the petri dish of the problematic and the fringe into full-blown plots of those cited.

      > They had bought assault rifles, handguns and ammunition for the suicide attack they planned on Jewish targets. They saw any Christian victims “as a bonus”.

      i cba with this dogshit medieval religion and its dogshit barbaric followers.

      “BUT THE QURAN FORBIDS MUSLIMS FROM KILLING” all over twitter…
