Remember when an African son of migrants went on a stabbing spree in late July, killing three little girls (aged six, seven, and nine) and seriously injuring nearly a dozen others in England? The incident had Britons protesting in the streets against the government’s unchecked migration policies, knowing that the only residents who routinely commit knife crimes are Muslims.
The “big news” at the time was that all the protesting and rioting English “bigots” had foolishly assumed that the murderer, 17-year-old “Axel” Muganwa Rudakubana, was a Muslim terrorist, though he clearly was not. His name, was clearly not Muslim, the authorities and their media mouthpieces assured us; and his parents had migrated to England from a Christian nation, Rwanda.
Here is a typical report showcasing how smugly the media denounced “the false information spread by far-right groups” (emphasis added):
The suspect was named on Thursday as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, born in the UK to Rwandan parents. Local media reported the suspect comes from a family “heavily involved with the local church.”
But the false information spread by far-right groups led to anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant riots even as mobs also clashed with police outside a mosque, the first of several violent riots across the country.
By the time a judge said the teen suspect could be identified, rumours were already rife and far-right influencers had pinned the blame on immigrants and Muslims.
Both Possible and Highly Likely
Despite what the media and politicians were saying, a week after the murders I laid out in a Stream article all the reasons why it was very plausible — and not at all “Islamophobic” — to believe Rudakubana was born a Muslim or had converted to Islam. Relevant excerpts follow:
On Nov. 23, 2023, a Muslim man of Algerian origin, with a known criminal record, also knifed a group of preschool children attending Saint Mary’s, a Catholic school in Dublin. Three children — two girls and a boy, all five or six years old — and a care assistant who tried to defend them were stabbed in the assault. Knifed near the heart, another five-year-old girl was hospitalized in critical condition….
Second, Rudakubana could be a convert to Islam.
Many non-Muslims, including of European origin, have converted to Islam and then engaged in terrorism. Moreover, as a young black migrant in the UK, where cultural and ethnic polarization has become pronounced, Rudakubana would most likely have gravitated to and adopted the ways and worldview of other black and brown migrants; and a great many of these are Muslim in the UK.
Third, when it comes to the names of sub-Saharan African Muslims, these are often indigenous and not what you might expect them to be — Muhammad, Ahmed, and the like…. The two African men who slaughtered and used a cleaver to behead Lee Rigby, a British soldier, in the streets of London in 2013 were named Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale. Both were converts to Islam. ...
But perhaps the greatest indicator that Muganwa Rudakubana may have been a Muslim is that the British authorities who are saying he is not Muslim have lost all credibility. Their word is absolutely worthless.
And now, according to a new report published on October 29:
Axel Rudakubana, 18, will appear at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday charged with producing the biological toxin ricin and having a document titled “Military studies in the Jihad against the Tyrants – the Al-Qaida training manual.”
More Grounds Than a Coffeepot
Now what was this confused and/or disgruntled “Christian” kid doing with jihadist, al-Qaeda material? The answer has already been given above: If he wasn’t already a Muslim (with a non-recognizably Muslim name), he was a convert; and, as many converts to Islam are wont to do, he wanted to prove his bona fides by slaughtering infidels.
Of course, this new revelation has not stopped the authorities from pretending that Rudakubana’s murder of three little girls has nothing to do with Islam — or that his “rights” need to be carefully preserved. In the words of Serena Kennedy, the chief constable of Merseyside police:
Apparently hate for infidels, or the Koran’s calls to slaughter infidels “wherever you find them” (9:5), or ISIS’s constant urgings for Muslims to randomly stab and kill non-Muslims in Europe are not enough grounds for “motivation.”
To reiterate: “the British authorities who are saying he is not Muslim have lost all credibility. Their word is absolutely worthless.”
