London: Muslim leaves ball-bearing bomb on train, casually walks away to attend lecture

[the_ad id=”90513″]

This time it was a convert to Islam, Damon Smith. British officials and British society in general are so solicitous of Islam, so afraid to do anything that might possibly offend Muslims, that they’re making it clear to native Britons that Islam is Britain’s future. Many are converting. And some of those are then turning to jihad.

“Pictured: Moment ‘ISIS inspired’ student, 20, ‘left ball-bearing bomb in a rucksack propped against a seat on a London Tube train before casually walking away to attend a lecture,'” by Martin Robinson, Mailonline, April 27, 2017:

Chilling footage shows the moment that an ‘ISIS inspired’ student from Devon allegedly left a ball bearing bomb on a Tube train in London.

Damon Smith, 20, allegedly packed a rucksack with explosives and ball-bearing shrapnel attached to a £2 Tesco clock timed to go off on the Jubilee Line.

Smith allegedly left the bomb on a carriage before changing his clothes and going to a university lecture, on October 20 last year, the Old Bailey heard.

CCTV shows him taking the rucksack off his shoulder and possibly putting the batteries in the device, then getting on the Tube on a Jubilee line platform.

Four minutes later he is seen getting off the train at London Bridge without the bag, which contains the homemade bomb and is propped against a seat by the door.

The weapons-obsessed teenager allegedly photographed himself in front of a TV showing ISIS’ Paris massacre mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the court heard.

Smith had previously printed off an al Qaida article entitled ‘Make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom’ and made notes in green ink before shredding the sheets of paper, jurors were told.

Had the device worked, it would have exploded just as people were being ordered off the Jubilee Line platform at North Greenwich.

The court heard Smith had a keen interest in Islam, guns, explosives and gambling, and collected pictures of extremists, including the alleged mastermind of the 2015 Paris terror attacks.

After he was arrested, the autistic student admitted making the device but claimed he only meant it to spew harmless smoke as a prank.

Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told how Smith grew up in Newton Abbot in Devon and moved to London with his mother in June last year before starting a London Metropolitan University computer course.

An only child, Smith was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, an autistic condition which can affect the way he interacts with people and result in a lack of empathy.

He also allegedly searched the internet for an Islamic State magazine featuring an article about the bomb said to have brought down a Russian airliner in October 2015.

A shopping list for ‘pressure cooker bomb materials’ was also allegedly found on an iPad ending in a note to ‘keep this a secret between me and Allah #InspireTheBelievers’.

On October 20 last year, Smith boarded a train from Surrey Quays to Canada Water before getting on the westbound Jubilee Line, then going back on himself at Southwark.

At 10.49am, the defendant, who had a freedom travel pass, got off at London Bridge leaving behind his rucksack containing the bomb set to explode minutes later at 11.02am.

There were at least 10 passengers in the carriage at the time and some of them spotted the bag and reported it when they got to Canary Wharf.

The driver took the bag thinking it was lost property and carried on towards North Greenwich, Mr Rees said.

It was while he was en route to the next stop that he noticed wire poking out of a clock.

Had the bomb gone off, it would have exploded just as passengers were evacuated from the area, the prosecutor said….

A common complaint from the autism community is the misdiagnosis of szhoid personality disorder as autism . Thats like putting the Cub Scouts and Brownies with the ” crips and bloods ” ! I suspect that this jihadist isn’t HFA .

Asperger disease, many have similar problems that have problems relating to others. Most of us just get on with our lives​. Look he is going to University that lots of us do not have that chance to get to University. He has a brain so he should make use of it, not to destroy.

he has mental issues. It has nothing to do with islam. Islam belongs in the UK. the spanish must apologize for expelling the muslims in the XVI century, it was an islamophobic decision and against the human rights and the geneva convention. thanks to the uk, france and usa, they defeated the spanish empire, now muslims can move freely around the world. it was the will of mohammad

Asperger’s syndrome is NOT the same as Autism
It is a different condition. Asperger’s syndrome does not make people insane. Bill Gates has Asperger’s Syndrome. They can tell right from wrong.

This is the same baloney we get from all these terrorists. And the MSM plays along. In almost all cases, terrorists are just plain, ordinary, murderous psychopaths. About 1% to 3% of the population are psychopaths.

So, Islam is attractive to autistics.
That helps us understand the nature of the cultures Islam has obliterated over the centuries. They lacked the empathy most people have for their own culture.

Excuse me you racist scumbag, I am very good friends with muslims, not everyone in their religion is like this. If you don’t like muslims, go live in america, if you already are living there, then shut the hell up. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Try making friends with someone raised as a muslim before you judge an entire religion based on a few idiots.

So his defense is reduced mental capacity? Well, if that flies it will let ALL Muslims off the hook for they certainly fit in that category. Their intolerance and bigotry and racism colors everything they think and do. They continue to prove they are unfit to occupy a civilized society in the 21st century and until they leave the mindset established for them in the 7th century, they will always be unfit to dwell in a civilized society where humanity means anything at all.

Actually they don’t fit into that category. I sbould know, I have many friends who are muslim and they, out of all my other friends are more loyal than anyone. She’s interested in all types of religion, I might add, I was raised as a christian, she’s always asking about my religion and the differences between the two. She wants to be a doctor when she can, also what about all those apparent ‘mentally unstable’ white males that go around shooting everybody? They’re terrorists and should be locked up, maybe thrown to the sharks as someone said earlier about muslims? But no, according to everyone else, they’ve got a mental problem, but when it comes to a middle eastern looking guy, they get written off as terrorists. Go live in america if you’re not already doing so

Out of interest, just surmise, as many people are beginning to do, that something resembling civil war erupts between muslims and the majority population of any western democracy in the next twenty years, or before muslims attain a numerical majority in those nations. On which side would you muslim friends’ loyalties fall? And do you have any comment about black men that go around shooting everybody up? Are they also mentally unstable? I ask these questions because I don’t live in America. The country in which I do reside has a small, but growing muslim population and we are beginning to encounter the type of incidences which are creating great unrest in other western countries. Incidents which, strangely, are not generated by Buddhists, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus or Shintoists.
