The BBC was sure that Clockboy was the victim of injustice, prejudice and misperceptions perpetrated by a society that has been polluted by an Islamophobic narrative driven by the right-wing press. It seems that ‘Chopperboy’ in the UK may also be a victim of similar prejudice, his threats to behead and murder so many people merely an articulation of his rage against a society that doesn’t value or accept him.
The BBC’s Domininc Cascianni tells us the boy was angry with his teachers and that the threats to kill were merely a negotiation tactic to pressure them to allow him to phone his mum. Sweet.
“I felt angry, very angry with all of them,” the boy has since said of his school, according to defence submissions.
“I just wanted to get excluded. You couldn’t run away, it was secure with locked doors. The best way to get out and go home was to threaten staff with beheadings.
“I found the more I did this the more free time I had and I could get home on my phone.”
Of course family circumstances meant he was ‘vulnerable’ to exploitation….and he took up a deep interest in ‘foreign affairs’. Really, he was a scholar? Does Casciani really mean he was watching beheading videos on the internet and soaking up the anti-Western propaganda that pours out from Muslim sources, and not just the recognised ‘extremist’ ones, propaganda that pumped out images of Muslims being killed…though not who really kills them…as it is usually other Muslims, the same people pumping out that propaganda ironically….of course he could just have been watching the BBC’s coverage of the Middle East, that would warp anyone’s understanding of the world….
A boy who attempted to incite a man in Australia to carry out an Anzac Day “massacre” has become the the youngest person in the UK to be convicted of a terrorism offence.
But could more have been done to challenge and stop the development of his violent mindset?
The boy’s slide into extremism began more than two years ago, at a crucial period in his development.
His parents had separated, he changed schools, and he was developing a deep interest in world affairs.
It’s always someone else’s fault….there doesn’t seem to be any recognition from Casciani that it might well just be that the boy was so disposed as to want to do these things and follow that path willingly and that his perceptions of the world have been long shaped by a narrative he has been brought up with all his life…Islam. It is remarkable that there is no mention by Casciani of the role of Islam in his ‘indepth’ exploration of the issues….surely that is at the heart of this…the explicit Islamic obligation to fight for the religion. To fight for the religion against those who allegedly attack it. So you have to ask is Islam under attack? Unfortunately if you watch news from organisations like the BBC which give credibility to the Jihadi narrative, such as Iraq was an illegal war against Muslims, a ‘crusade’ as the BBC often called it, and that Mulsims in the UK are under an Islamophobic assault, then the narrative of an Islam under attack is all too easy to believe and then act upon especially when reinforced by bloody videos purporting to show Western forces slaughtering Muslims.
The major factor in the boy’s extremism is his religion. It’s an unavoidable conclusion…only Muslims are fighting in the name of Allah. The connection is undeniable. Which is why the BBC presumably avoids that connection.
Casciani scripts a long tract explaining away the boys behaviour blaming the anti-radicalisation programme for its ‘failure’ and then disingenuously asks…
Did Channel make mistakes? Could it have done more or were its officials simply confronted with someone they could not turn around?
He has the grace to add this get out clause after having spent the majority of the piece blaming Channel and the authorities….
Well, we don’t really know.
Casciani could ask ‘What did the Muslim community do to change its own anti-Western narrative, to change the Muslim grievance narrative about Islamophobia, to change the Islamic religion itself and its extreme teachings all of which fed the boy’s mindset?’ But no. That’s not open for discussion. Casciani knows who is at fault and its not Chopperboy himself that’s for sure. He’s the real victim here. In reality the only thing he is a victim of is a theology that predisposed him, primed him, to be a martyr for the cause.

What the hell do BBC teenage scribblers know about human psychology, sociology, behaviour or anything else really. They are a sick joke !
Sociology and psychology are EXACTLY the kind of quack “pseudo-science” that they know enough about.
As for science and the objective scientific method?…Popper and Bacon etc?…not a bit of it.
They only now need the science of attachment, of compassion and of emoting sentiments they they create-and psychology and sociology are two of the Black Arts that they use as thicker types…the smarter ones go into Psychiatry, which is THE Black Art.
If you look at where the Frankfurt School, where Freud/Fraud come from-let alone Marx and Engels ( in concept)-and now look into Ritalin, anti-depressants and the basis of the above “sciences”-most of which come from Soviet wards and playschools-you`ll see that these “sciences” are as shit as Green crap, as neurosciences, psephology, etc.
And we turn out these lavender guys n gals with a BSc after ther names…should be BS in my book.
(Eccles 1.15)
I am prejudiced against Muslims, all Muslims.
I have read the Koran, in translation, both hilarious and horrifying.
Digression, please stop spelling the Koran with a Q, thank you.
I have nothing in common with anyone who believes that the Koran is other than a load of nonsense.
I also have nothing in common with people who rejoice in the history of Islam.
I also reject the principle that prejudice in inherently undesirable.
Prejudice is just the practise of empiricism, using past experience.
If I have met 10,000 Muslims and found them all to be dangerous, deluded, murderous ****s, what do I do?
Well, according to Al Beeb and other “liberal” “thinkers”, I am not allowed to use my knowledge of Islamic beliefs, my knowledge of Islamic history and my previous personal contacts with Muslims to form any opinion regarding Muslims I have not yet met.
No, no, no, say the liberals. What I must do is form an opinion of individual Muslims after having met them. (Better still befriended them and converted to Islam).
Only when I have met every single Muslim alive am I allowed to form an opinion of Muslims in general.
Well bollox to that.
The thrust of most of what you say is spot on.
I myself have dealt with quite a few decent Muslims-and I have common ground in certain areas like the Godless secular porn-drugs-fame junk that is spewed out to our kids as the parents tell the BBC that they need more compo for their Coke not being cold enough at Subway or such.
They despise that BBC Media culture much as we do-and will use it as cover, for taqqiya-as told to in their book, and such.
The Koran is a nasty book but does have one line in common with the Bible…so I work on that.
It`s a derivative tribute act to Judeo-Christian practice at the time of writing-but with vicious triumphalist bile mixed in with a pity-me culture…depends on whether it`s a Mecca or Median Surah.
Two things-99 words for Allah…but neither Love nor Truth is one of them…so Jesus trumps it…and if people don`t want Jesus-well Allah`s coming for them…totally predictable, and we`re without excuse( Rom1;18-2;11)
I read that in the nineteenth century, as Britain’s Jews struggled to gain acceptance in wider society, they began to adapt their religious practices to be closer to Anglicanism. So rabbis were styled ‘Reverend’ and wore Geneva Bands and similar attire to non-conformist ministers. Synagogues were built to resemble churches and there were even choral services and sung liturgy similar to the C of E.
A Jewish friend of mine, from an old Anglo-Jewish family, is always adamant that his ultimate secular loyalty is to the Crown, not to Israel, Zionism or political Judaism.
As far as I am aware there is no Muslim equivalent in modern Britain – I can’t even imagine such a thing even being proposed by anyone, let alone carried out.
Problems with comparing Muslims and Jews.
#1 Numbers, The Jewish population of the UK is miniscule.
#2 Jews are not attempting to invade Europe in their millions, they are more likely to leave, because of Islam
#3 Jews are not demanding that we all convert.
#4 Jews embrace Western science, technology, philosophy. Jews have made significant contributions. Muslims (Boko Haram) despise Western values and wish to eradicate them.
Nonetheless, Jews have historically been accused of ‘divided loyalties’ and it is an accusation still levelled against them, largely on account of the existence of Israel. It remains a sensitive issue among some Jews. Similarly, Roman Catholics have been under suspicion since the foundation of the C of E for having loyalty to Rome rather than the Crown.
In theory Muslims are welcome to come to this country and practice their religion as long as they integrate, embrace the basic British values of democracy, freedom of speech, the rule of law and tolerance of others and think not what their (our) country can do for them, but what they can do for their (our) country.
Unfortunately thanks to the twin evils of mass immigration and multiculturalism, as promoted ad nauseam by the BBC and its leftist chums, the theory is a million miles from reality.
They have a lot to answer for.
