#NotAllMuslims Plot To Kill U.S. Servicemen In Britain

Font Size:

Not all Muslims are terrorists. Not all terrorists are Muslims. Therefore, the following item is meaningless.

Tom Whitehead, The Telegraph (UK):

A delivery driver planned to carry out a Lee Rigby-style terror outrage on American servicemen in the UK in an Isil-inspired knife and bomb attack.

Junead Ahmed Khan, 24, is said to have discreetly monitored the US air bases at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath, both in Suffolk, as part of his delivery route.

He planned to stage a car crash by either running over airmen or crashing in to their vehicle outside a base before attacking them with a knife and detonating a suicide vest, it is alleged…

Khan is also accused of planning to travel to Syria to join the terror group, also known as Islamic State, along with his uncle Shazib Ahmed Khan, 22.

What could possibly explain such behavior?

Are these men depressed? Are they chronically unemployed? Do they own any Confederate flags? Have they ever gone to a shooting range? Are they interested in boxing or martial arts? Do they smoke marijuana? Did someone look at them funny after a previous terrorist attack? Have they been adversely affected by climate change? Are they disappointed in the new season of True Detective? Is there any possible motive for this, other than the one we’d all rather not face?

If not, we will never know why.
