Men had converted to devout form of Islam, residents say [Terror plotters] The Times (UK) ^ \| August 11, 2006 \| By Steve Bird timesonline.co.uk TWO men said to have been arrested changed their appearances after converting to a devout form of Islam, according to neighbours. One is said to be Ibrahim Savant, who became a devout Muslim about seven or eight years ago, according to a friend. He may have been a born Muslim who became more interested in his faith in later years. Oliver Savant was a popular boy growing up in the terrace of Folkestone Road, Walthamstow. He played football and joined local soccer clubs. But around 1998, when he was a teenager, neighbours said, he began wearing Muslim white gowns and grew a long beard. It was then that Mr Savant, who has a brother, Adam, was understood to have changed his name to Ibrahim, neighbours said. According to the electoral register, a number of males named Savant occupy the home along with a woman called Marilyn Moseley. The family live in one of six 1960s terraced houses at the end of a street of Victorian homes. A number of mosques are in the area and a madrassa, an Islamic school, is run near by. Paul Kleinman, 66, a retired fireman, said that the family moved into the house in about 1975. “I’ve known him since the day he was born. His dad invited me in for a drink when he was born. We’ve always got on with them very well. Adam and Oliver both went to university but I think Oliver dropped out. “All of a sudden Oliver started to put the white robes on. [snip] I think his dad’s an architect and is from Iran and his mother is an accountant. His mother’s English. He used to be a keen trumpet player and played to a high level. He’s a very nice and polite young man.”

Here we go again Authorities say that 21 British Muslims of Pakistani origin are the suspects in the latest terrorist mass murder plot. Unfortunately, hours before that announcement, virtually every one of us had already concluded – correctly, it turns out — that Islamic radicals were the culprits. How does civilized society deal with vermin like this? People who will wantonly kill innocents in the name of their twisted ideology? We guarantee them a fair trial, get them a lawyer if they need one, and increasingly shy away from the death penalty. Sad to say, our radical Islamic adversaries count on this and laugh at our civilized behavior as weakness. Then they plot to kill aqain. Meanwhile, white-haired old ladies are routinely subjected to airport searches while Muslim men scoot right through the line because the authorities are terrified of being accused of ethnic profiling. Of course the shoe fits, but God forbid that we offend any increasingly vocal special interest groups. Interestingly, even the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the most vocal of these special interest groups, suspected their co-religionists from the start. CAIR released the following public statement shortly after 10 a.m. today: “The American Muslim community supports efforts to ensure the safety and security of the traveling public. We once again urge law enforcement authorities and elected officials to caution against stereotyping entire religious or ethnic groups based on the alleged actions of individuals.” After all, sensitivity, not security, is the most important thing. We all need to remember this because it’s only a matter of time before another one of these barbaric plots is successful. When is the West going to wake up? blogs.washingtontimes.com
