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.

Every single one of the links used in the post body point to no evidence of this accusation at all. It's for lazy people who will skim read and think the OP is citing legit sources when they all point to irrelevant crap from Metro online.

Only thing I could find is this-

https://interlinkagesdatabase.icct.nl/case/Mohammed%20Rafea%20Yaseen%20Y.

Doesn't really confirm much but the only source that isn't instagram or GBNews, bet they are LOVING this.

The only weird thing, is that the link to the press release has since been deleted on the website it leads to.

It's a very unclear accusation, it also states he is back in prison so dunno why these melts even care 😂

why do they care, hmm, let me think… our tax money is being used to house and feed a terrorist criminal - who, by the way, will get out and be released on to our streets again, i don’t know how you don’t understand that this person is dangerous and incompatible with our society

Insititutions to punish British citizens? They're certainly not designed to hold radicalised foreign terrorists.

don’t know how this relates? i am looking at it from an economic and cultural perspective. i am looking at the fact he is costing taxpayers money whilst having a negative cultural effect on the uk. prisons are places people are held as punishment, with that we have to pay for their food to keep them alive.

It relates because he is in prison. But this guy can't be sent back. With that we have to pay for food to keep them alive. (Or are you suggesting that prison should just be for whites?) You're so angry but so silly at the same time, it's really quite the vibe.

Mate, we spend £300,000,000,000 on benefits a year, how is this guy getting 6 months in the slamma getting you this riled up?

u/GlitteringCounty7051 16h ago

it’s not this guy in particular is it? it’s a pattern of overspending, i think benefits should be majorly cut - anyone who can work, should be working or they should expect no help from the state, especially if they aren’t british!
