Europe's revolving door for terrorists

[Derec]

London Bridge stabbing attack suspect was released last year after terrorism conviction

[Usman] Khan had been convicted in 2012 for his part in an al-Qaeda-inspired plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange and other major sites including the U.S. Embassy. He was originally given a 16-year prison term but was released early “on license,” meaning he had to meet certain conditions or face being locked up again.

That's ridiculous. Even 16 years is short for terrorism, and releasing an Al Qaeda terrorist after mere 6 years is reckless in the extreme.
And they not only did release him 10 years early, they did not even deport him back to Pakistan.
As a result of this two people have been murdered.

London mayor Sadiq Khan (a cousin?) said that terrorism is part and parcel of living in a big city. More like, it's part and parcel of having a lot of Muslims in your city/country. UK (and Europe in general) are reaping the fruits of their overly permissive immigration policy, in this case allowing a ridiculous number of often quite Islamist Pakistanis to immigrate over the decades.

This lax European attitude toward Islamofascist terrorists and extremists is biting them in the ass also when it comes to returning ISIS members. Many are not even being prosecuted, and even those who are are not facing long enough sentences.

He participated in a terrorist plot? Pfft. British police are rightly more concerned about mean tweets.

And the London mayor is more concerned about ads on the tube featuring women in bikinis. Priorities, right?

One would think the usual suspects would be celebrating Mr. Khan's shooting death.

Why would I want to read the rest of a post that wears its racism so obviously on its sleeve?

What "racism"? They share the last name Khan. It's not "racist" to wonder if they are related.

If only "Mr." (why the honorific for a man without any honor?) Khan would have been shot before he stabbed five innocent people, two of them fatally.

Did you wonder if he was related to Chaka Khan or Salman Khan or Sahid Khan or Steve Khan as well?

How do you know Mr. Khan had no honor at all? Hmmm.

Chaka Khan is not even her real name (real name: Yvette Stevens) nor is she South Asian. Not sure who the other ones are, but they were not mentioned in the same article as Usman. Sadiq was.
I am surprised you didn't put Khan Noonien Singh on that list too. At least he is a fellow terrorist (although not an islamofascist one)

Because he is a terrorist scumbag who wanted to bomb the London stock exchange and after foolishly being released from prison he stabbed five people. Can't you read?

Your pretence that you are not racist, but instead just stupid, doesn't fly here. Nobody's being fooled by it, except perhaps you yourself.

Probably is related to Genghis Khan. Much of Earth's population is.

I can read and I can think. Which is why I asked the question. And because I can read and I can think, I see your response is a non-sequitur.

I am neither racist nor stupid. If anybody is stupid it's laughing dog for thinking that I should be wondering whether Yvette Stevens is related to Usman Khan.
And I am sick of everything being labeled "racist".

I can read and I can think.

It is obvious you can't. Otherwise you'd comprehend why a terrorist is without honor.

 

[laughing dog]

I can read and I can think.

It is obvious you can't. Otherwise you'd comprehend why two South Asians with same last name could be relatively closely related, while a South Asian with last name "Khan" and a black woman with last name "Stevens" most likely isn't.

I can read and and I can think. Which is why I know that Khan is a fairly common name in Pakistan and India, sort of like Smith or Jones in the US or Muller and Wagner in Germany and Austria. Which is why I can conclude that wondering if the two people with a very common last name are related is fairly stupid.

 

[Derec]

Probably is related to Genghis Khan. Much of Earth's population is.

Most of those are 1) descended from illegitimate children (it's good to be the king!) and 2) "Genghis Khan" was Temüjin's throne name and title, not actual name. Even his legitimate children would not have had "Khan" as last name, and that last name is common in Pakistan and among Indian Muslims but not in Mongolia. So I do not think there is any real connection.

Ok, it's a common name. But two Smiths are more likely to be related than a Smith and a Kovács. Or a Smith and somebody from a different continent who took "Smith" as stage name. So if you see two people with same last name, you wonder about whether they are related. Hence newspaper articles usually adding "no relation" if there is no relation. No reason to get all upset over it and allege racism just to detract from the issue of Europeans still being suicidally lax on the issue of islamofascist terrorism.

I didn't allege racism.

We don't read of the criminal who are on release who do not misbehave. Mr. Khan had an electronic ankle brace to track his movements. His release was based on a national law, so the mayor of London had nothing to do with his release. Mayor Khan is generally viewed as a good mayor and is fairly popular in London. Tying the two by name is a pathetic smear attempt on the elected mayor of London.
