A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in Britain: May 2017<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | June 27, 2017<\/p>\n

May 1. Army cadets in Scotland were warned<\/a> not to wear their uniforms in public because they could be targeted by jihadists.<\/p>\n

May 1. Three female teenagers were arrested<\/a> in East London on terrorism charges. The arrests were in connection with an anti-terror operation in London on April 27 in which a woman wearing a burqa was shot<\/a> by police. Police said that an active terror plot had been foiled.<\/p>\n

May 2. Samata Ullah, a 34-year-old jihadist from Cardiff, was sentenced<\/a> to eight years in prison for five terror offenses, including membership of the Islamic State, as well being involved in training terrorists and preparing for terrorist acts. Ullah, a British national of Bangladeshi origin, was a key member of a group calling itself the \u201cCyber Caliphate Army\u201d and gave other members of IS advice on how to communicate using sophisticated encryption techniques.<\/p>\n

May 3. Damon Smith, a 20-year-old convert to Islam, was found guilty<\/a> of making a bomb filled with ball bearings and leaving it on a subway train in London. Jurors at the Old Baily court were told that Smith had downloaded an al-Qaeda article entitled, \u201cMake a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom,\u201d which contained step-by-step instructions on how to make a homemade bomb. The court also heard that Smith had a keen interest in Islam, guns and explosives, and had collected pictures of extremists, including the alleged mastermind of the 2015 Paris terror attacks. Smith, who suffers from autism, admitted to making the device but claimed he only meant it as a prank.<\/p>\n
