Mohammad Farooq (below), 28, a student nurse, had planned to detonate a homemade pressure cooker bomb containing 22 lbs. of explosives at the St James’s Hospital in Leeds, where he was employed.
RAIR Foundation Farooq was found in possession of a pressure cooker bomb designed to be twice as powerful as those used in the 2013 Boston Marathon Muslim bombings. The court was informed that Farooq had immersed himself in “extremist Islamic ideology” and sought martyrdom by killing himself in a jihadist act aimed at causing maximum casualties, mainly targeting nurses.
Farooq had a viable pressure cooker bomb along with two knives and an imitation firearm when he was arrested. In his car, additional materials such as nails, tubs, an explosive compound, and floor plans of four hospital wards were found.
Farooq had initially planned to attack RAF Menwith Hill, a military base in North Yorkshire used by the United States, identified as a target by ISIS. When this plan seemed unfeasible, he shifted his focus to St James’s Hospital, considering it a “softer” and “less well-protected” target. He held grievances against several colleagues at the hospital, adding to his motivation to target the hospital.
According to most mainstream news reports, Farooq was described as a “self-radicalized lone wolf terrorist” who intended to kill as many nurses as possible.
But the fact is that all of these lone wolves come to their understandings of Islam from modern preachers and ancient and authentic orthodox Islamic doctrine and scripture. But there are no self-radicalized lone wolves because it was still Islam, they learned, and it is still Islam that motivated their actions.
This freak whose parents are probably cousins probably wasn’t able to rape the nurses, so he wanted to teach them a lesson in Islam.
Farooq is ugly and freakish looking. Combine that with a murderous, hateful ideology and you get a literal time bomb. He shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near a hospital or a helpless patient. You British people have to do better in weeding out the evil ones.
I’d rather be near a crocodile pond than travel anywhere in U.K. or France.
Wow
Stick a hijab on him and he looks just like Mrs. Potato head Sarah Biloo of CAIR. Maybe he’s her long-lost twin sister? Anybody know if he uses she/her pronouns?
Yes, he does. Here she is Zahra Billoo: https://barenakedislam.com/2024/05/27/hamas-front-group-in-america-cair-spokesjihadi-zahra-billoo-declares-war-on-jews-around-the-world/
