This is lunacy, right?

An Islamic terrorist who belonged to Al-Qaeda and later Isis has been spotted shopping at King Charles’ local Co-op.

Mohammed Yaseen was free to walk the streets near Windsor Castle after he was allowed to stay in Britain on human rights grounds.

Yaseen was part of the Al Qaeda group that beheaded Briton Ken Bigley before joining a unit in Isis that carried out stonings, beheadings and mass executions.

He was released from prison last week after serving just six months of a two-year sentence for illegally entering the country on a small boat, following a near five-year prison term in Germany for his Isis membership.

The Foreign Office has raised concerns he could face ‘mistreatment’ if he were returned to Iraq because of his terrorist past, the Mail on Sunday reports.

Experts have said Yaseen could cost the taxpayer £85,000 as the Home Office pays for his stay in accomodation and his food allowance.

Chris Philp, Shadow Home Secretary, said: ‘We are paying through the nose to feed, clothe and house individuals who pose a clear threat. If Andy Burnham took this seriously, he would deport this man at once.’

A court in Germany heard in 2020 that Yaseen was involved in bomb attacks that killed US troops in Iraq.

He also served as a security guard for Isis, including during at least two mass executions where the victims included children.

Yaseen was intercepted last December by Border Force. He gave officials a false name before routine biometric checks revealed his true identity.

At his trial at Winchester Crown Court, prosecutor Steven Molloy said Yaseen had a ‘deeper and lengthy involvement in terrorism and Islamic extremist ideology’.

It is understood that Yaseen was cleared to walk around town with an ankle tag and observe a 6pm to 6am curfew.

However these restrictions did not stop him going to Windsor Great Park or to the castle.

Yaseen grew up in western Iraq and became a member of Islamic State of Iraq, a franchise of Al Qaeda, aged just 16.

I've got to say, as someone of Soth Asian heritage this is getting extremely exhausting. I open Reddit for some escapism, but all I see is hatred about people I look like. It makes me so sad as I'm British born and raised but I guess I'm not allowed to be.

Assuming you’re not a terrorist, pay your way and are happy to be living in Britain respecting British values you’re more than welcome here.

Biggest cope right here calling someone a T and Thier own country goes around the world killing innocents and children for years on and end. And when the fight comes here ohhh please would someone think of the children. Btw I'm raised in London since a small child, Never have I seen some unfairness on every level and extreme poverty on almost every corner on a main road. This whole country is so ridiculous and the people in charge use media and psychology to twist narratives all day long and most people here just like most people in any country are too lazy to do the research to change Thier views. They always yap on about Terrorism and shit when we have some of the world's best ai and threat detection systems from almost all transport links even to some grocery stores such as Sainsbury's, bruh no one is coming to specifically get you. They are trying get to the establishment.
