Muslim planned revenge attack on hero soldier

Topics: Understanding Islam

A Muslim man who planned to "hunt down" and kill a soldier who had won the Military Cross in Iraq was yesterday found guilty of terrorism offences.

Abu Bakr Mansha from Thamesmead, south London, was found with a balaclava (hood covering the head and neck) and a blank-firing pistol which was being converted for live rounds when his flat was raided by police.

Alongside inflammatory videos of rebels attacking troops in Iraq was a newspaper article describing the exploits of Cpl Mark Byles, who was later decorated with the Military Cross.

Police also found a piece of paper with Cpl Byles's former address on it and indentations on note paper requesting information on a rich Jewish man and the Hindu owner of a cash and carry business.

David Cocks, QC, prosecuting, told the jury at Southwark Crown Court, south London: "In their case, it is nothing to do with harm they may have done to the Muslim community. It was because of their religious beliefs."

So we have yet another jihadi, plotting to kill "infidels" in the name of the "merciful Allah."

In the minds of militant Islamists, the very idea of a "Merciful Allah" is an oxymoron.
