Authorities remain completely indifferent to the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam somehow falling prey to the crazy idea that their new religion commands violence against unbelievers.
Interesting to see the hopeless “journalist” Lizzie Dearden at the Daily Mail. For years she has been with the Independent, covering jihad terrorists while steadfastly toeing the Leftist line that they have nothing whatsoever to do with authentic Islam. The equally ridiculous Daily Mail has been repeating the same Big Lie, of course, so she fits right in, although one wonders how uncomfortable she must be in a putatively “far right” setting.
The baby-faced fanatic inspired by Jihadi John to unleash terror at a Justin Bieber concert in Cardiff… Just one of the thousands of under-the-radar lone wolf terrorists radicalised online that a chilling new book says MI5 is struggling to track,” by Lizzie Dearden, Daily Mail, March 11, 2023:

Gunton came to the attention of security services after boasting of his plan on Instagram.
Using the name ‘Alqaeds’, he wrote: ‘Cardiff, are you ready for our terror… May Allah bring terrorism to Cardiff.’
Posts also included a picture of the Welsh capital’s castle, an image of a Jeep, a knife, a bomb and a fluttering Isis flag.
