Initially, Mohammad Farooq’s actions were characterized as “isolated,” as was reported earlier by Jihad Watch. The threat of jihad is habitually underplayed by authorities. But now, disturbing details have come to light. Farooq was a nursing student, a profession in which trust is expected and healing is a duty, yet he had explosives ready to set off outside a maternity ward “where he had been due to work a shift,” and a gun ready so that he could go on a shooting rampage.
The jihad motive is still being downplayed despite the media’s admission that he was “allegedly inspired by radical Islam and Jihad”: “His actions at the hospital are not alleged to have been motivated by terrorism but a grudge towards another member of staff.”
The “grudge” evidently provoked Farooq’s rage against his coworkers, but it is the jihad indoctrination that actually propelled the attack, which was directed not only against his coworkers but collaterally against patients as well. This jihadi “felt like killing everyone,” yet the media and authorities continue to downplay the role of jihad. Westerners are supposed to be quiet about the jihad, lest talking about it increases fear and causes “Islamophobia.”
An update on this story. “Student nurse accused of planning terror attack with homemade bomb at RAF base,” Express & Star, January 27, 2023:
A student nurse has appeared in court accused of planning a terrorist attack at an RAF base after he was allegedly found with a pressure cooker bomb outside a hospital in Leeds.
Mohammad Farooq, 27, was allegedly inspired by radical Islam and Jihad when he carried out “hostile reconnaissance” of the military base in Yorkshire on January 10 and 18 after carrying out online research.
Prosecutors say he chose the target because of online encouragement to carry out a “lone wolf” attack at the site.
Farooq is said to have constructed a viable bomb made from a pressure cooker, 13.7 kilos of a homemade low explosive mixture and a length of pyrotechnic fuse.
He was arrested in the early hours of last Friday outside the maternity unit at St James’s University Hospital in Leeds, where he had been due to work a shift.
Farooq is said to have told a man he “felt like killing everyone” before showing him a gun, then told police officers he had a bomb.
His actions at the hospital are not alleged to have been motivated by terrorism but a grudge towards another member of staff.
Farooq, from Leeds, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday from a police station in Bradford wearing a grey tracksuit.
He spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth but was not asked to enter pleas to the three charges he faces.
Farooq is charged with one count of engaging in conduct with the intention of committing acts of terrorism between July 12 and last year and January 20.
Prosecutor Mark Luckett said he allegedly had instructions to assemble a homemade explosive device, bought equipment and made the bomb, researched the RAF base online, and engaged in reconnaissance of the alleged target.
He is also charged with possessing an explosive substance – namely 13.7 kg of a homemade low explosive mixture, a pressure cooker and a length of pyrotechnic fuse – on January 20 with intent to endanger life or cause serious injury to property.
Farooq faces a further count of possessing an imitation firearm: a Gediz 9mm PAK semi-automatic pistol; with intent to cause fear of violence on the same date.
There was no application for bail and chief magistrate Paul Goldspring remanded him in custody ahead of his next appearance at the Old Bailey next Friday……

The way many of these jihadis think is
that if they do not die in the bomb
explosion they create and they do not
die from any death penalty, they will get
3 hots and 1 cot (3 meals and a bed
in jail) and will be taken care of by the
state for any number of years. So in
their demented minds they “win” no
matter what happens. 😈

With luck he will get to share a cell with “Bubba”!

There was absolutely nothing radical about what this Islamist did. When is Britain going to get it through their thick heads that Islam is a political system, not a religion. The only way you stop this is to deport every single one back to where they came from. They will never assimilate into British culture as it is against Sharia law. They will however continue to kill for Allah.
Keith O says
At least the Brits caught him.
Now that he is in their court system, he will more than likely get off with a very light sentence and an apology for mis understanding him.

It’s just a minor mental issue with him, he’ll be okay in a couple days.

The two words under this picture that were used, which are “radical Islam”, is a term used by Westerners. Likewise the term “Moderate Islam “ is a term used by Westerners. Both terms are unknown in the Islamic world of the East including Asia.
Likewise 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 out loud “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.”
Walter Sieruk says
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 “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam.”
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.
