Counter-terror police say Donald Trump is 'wrong' over claims about UK Muslims

A senior counter-terrorism officer has hit back at US presidential hopeful Donald Trump after he accused British Muslims of "absolutely not reporting" suspected terrorists.

The front-runner for the Republican nomination told ITV's Good Morning Britain that Muslim communities were not doing enough to prevent attacks like the carnage in Brussels. TRUE

"When they see trouble they have to report it. They are not reporting it. They are absolutely not reporting it and that is a big problem," he told the programme's presenter Piers Morgan. TRUE

But deputy assistant commissioner Neil Basu from the UK Counter Terrorism Policing Network said the comments by the tycoon-turned politician risked playing into the hands of the terrorists by demonising the very people the police needed to help them.

"He is wrong," he told the BBC Radio 4 programme.

"There is a generational problem here. Without a doubt we have to encourage more reporting from the Muslim community and from all communities, because unlike in some other places in the world we do have integrated communities and we have people living side by side.

"If we demonise one section of the community that is the worst thing we can do, we are absolutely playing into the terrorists' hands of making people feel hate."

Mr Basu warned that the such comments could lead to a surge in hate crimes against Muslims.

People are afraid to tell the truth and most Muslims are even more afraid of the Islamic State than members of the non-Muslim population

"When events like this happen in Brussels and Paris very unfortunately we do see a spike in hate crime," he said.

"We don't want that to happen in our communities, we want people to feel safe and confident to come forward to the police and report what they have to report."

More than half a million people signed a petition calling for Mr Trump to be banned from the UK after he demanded a block on Muslims entering the US and claimed parts of London were "so radicalised" police were "afraid for their own lives". TRUE

He told Good Morning Britain: "I would hit Isis (another name for Islamic State) so hard you wouldn't believe it and I would get the people over there to put up their soldiers because it's about time that somebody did it.

"But I would have such back-up like you've never seen before in terms of air power, air strikes etc."

"It's like they are protecting each other but they are really doing very bad damage," Mr Trump said, complaining about the failure to turn in those who went on to launch a deadly attack in San Bernardino, California.

"They have to open up to society, they have to report the bad ones. And, you know, if you report the bad ones, all of a sudden you are not going to have the problems," he said. TRUE

Mr Trump denied he was racist, telling the programme: "I'm not 'anti' anything; I'm just common sense, I say it like it is.

"I have great respect for Muslims, I have many friends that are Muslims. I am just saying there is something with a radicalised portion that is very, very bad and very dangerous." TRUE

He said he was astounded at the failure of anyone to turn in Salah Abdeslam, the chief suspect in the Paris terror attacks who was holed up in his own neighbourhood in the Belgian capital. TRUE

"There is something wrong, and we have to get to the bottom of it, when someone like who was just captured was really coddled and taken care of by people that live in the neighbourhood.

"Many people knew he was there yet he was the number one fugitive in the world. Everybody from that area knew he was there and nobody turned him in. TRUE

"There's something going on and there's something wrong. You know it, Piers, and so do I." TRUE

He went on: "I knew Brussels years ago. I was there probably three or four times and it was so beautiful, so secure and so safe. Now it's an armed camp," he said. TRUE

"It's like a different world, a different place, there is no assimilation. TRUE

"What's going on there and what's going on in many other locations - like Paris and others - is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace that we allowed to happen." TRUE

He rejected Prime Minister David Cameron's claim that his call to ban Muslims risked aiding extremists by sowing division.

"All you have to do is look at the cities where there's been a large inflow and something's different," he said. TRUE

"There is very little assimilation for whatever reason ... they want to go by their own sets of laws." TRUE

And even worse in some parts of UK we now have Sharia Law. A great many Muslims wives speak limited English and are not aware that they actually have any rights to protection under UK law

Mr Trump told Mr Morgan - who said he considered the billionaire "a good friend" he had known for a decade - that he did not believe many people in the UK were scared of the idea of him in the White House.

Most people in UK think it is time America had a President with a brain instead of the usual paid for puppets

"I don't think too many are. Honestly, I'm a very normal person. I happen to be intelligent, very intelligent, I guess, based on certain results that I get in doing things," he said. VERY TRUE

"I am a person that just wants to see things run properly. I don't want to see people hurt."

Miqdaad Versi, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain said Mr Trump's claims were "just not true".

He told Good Morning Britain: "What we have to recognise is when some of these statements are made that fuel this idea of bigotry and really fuel the thing that terrorists themselves want - that Muslims are apart from the West and cannot be seen as equal citizens - these things are not good for our society."

Firstly, as a businesswoman, I have been following Donald Trump for a great many years

His ability to motivate people is second to none

In my valued opinion, Donald Trump's knowledge of all the different aspects involved in the running of a large successful business empire, far surpasses than of anyone else

In recent years parts of the UK have been taken over by radical Muslims

Anyone doubting this should spend a week in Luton

There are now many such areas in the UK

Nobody protects the non-radical Muslims from the influence of radicalised Muslims, who are not prevented from holding anti-UK anti-Christian public meeting

In areas of Sharia Law many Muslim ladies suffer from abuse without ever knowing there are UK laws to protect them

Radical Muslims and even ISIS supporters are in many UK schools, colleges and universities, Muslim studets are far too afraid to speak out against them

The Islamic State has people in many UK Mosques, some are known to other members of those Mosques, others are not

Many Muslims are now living under a culture of fear, afraid to say anything again ISIS, afraid of repercussions being taken against themselves and their families

Non-Muslims often do not understand how close-knit Muslim communities are

If a white English person is witness to a crime they can receive witness protection

The typical English family consists of 2 adults and 2 children, will be relocated to a safe area where they are unknown

Other members of UK families may live a great distance away and only meet up for weddings and funerals (sad but true)

A Muslim family will probably include a large network of aunts, uncles and cousins etc. They will also form close bonds to other Muslims living in their community or attending their Mosques

All of these large networks of families and friends could be put at risk of extremely violent repercussions, were one innocent Muslims to dare to speak out against ISIS members living in their neighbourhoods or attending their mosques

Buckingham Palace suspect was brandishing 4ft sword, police say

A man arrested outside Buckingham Palace on Friday night was brandishing a 4ft sword as he repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar", police say.

Dean Haydon, head of counter-terrorism at Scotland Yard, said the man drove at a police vehicle before stopping and being confronted by three officers.

CS gas was used to "quickly" restrain the 26-year-old, from the Luton area, who is now in custody, Cdr Haydon said.

The three unarmed Westminster police officers received minor injuries.

Two of them were taken to hospital after receiving cuts to their hands and forearms.

Prime Minister Theresa May tweeted to praise the officers for acting "quickly and bravely", and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan thanked the officers for "ensuring that not a single member of the public was injured".

Counter-terror police are investigating after the man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assault, and under the Terrorism Act.

No members of the Royal Family were in Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen's official London residence, at the time.

The incident happened outside the Mall roundabout near Spur Road - which runs along the corner of the palace grounds - at about 20:35 BST on Friday, police said.

A man drove a blue Toyota Prius into a restricted area near the palace and "deliberately drove at a marked police vehicle and stopped in front of it", Cdr Haydon said.

When police confronted the man, he reached for a 4ft (122cm) sword in the passenger footwell of the car.

Cdr Haydon said the struggle was "quickly brought under control" and that they are treating it as an isolated incident.

"It was quickly declared a terrorist incident last night," he said.

The Met is now investigating the suspect's background and is carrying out searches in the Luton area.

Eye-witness Kiana Williamson said: "We turned up and there was one police van and one car; there was also a civilian's car that had veered towards the police car.

"They were trying to get the man out of the car, shouting; more police were arriving on to the scene and the man was fighting back.

"I saw one injured policeman with an injury to his arm, although it didn't look severe.

"He was being tended to by another officer.

"The man had been restrained and looked almost unconscious by the side of the road."

Another passer-by, who did not want to be named, said her partner initially thought he had seen a sword.

She told the Press Association: "The police didn't just run up to the car. There was some shouting prior to this; I couldn't tell you what, I was a bit panicked...

"My partner saw a sword, which I didn't see, as well as a policeman with blood on him, looking like his hand or chest was injured.

"The police officer had it in his hand, walking away with it."

A Palace spokesman said summer opening hours and tours will go ahead on Saturday, adding that it will be "business as usual"

Second arrest over palace 'terror incident'

He was arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.

Police continue to question a 26-year-old man from Luton who was arrested outside the palace on Friday.

Dean Haydon, head of counter-terrorism at Scotland Yard, said on Saturday that the man deliberately drove at a police vehicle before stopping and being confronted by three officers.

He repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" as CS gas was used to "quickly" restrain him, Cdr Haydon said.

Radical Jamaican cleric indicted in US on terror charge

A radical Muslim cleric who was convicted of stirring up racial hatred in Britain and deported to Jamaica was indicted Friday in New York on charges of recruiting would-be terrorists.

Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal was arrested in Jamaica.

Jamaica's Ministry of National Security said that el-Faisal was arrested in the capital of Kingston and taken to his house in the nearby parish of St. Catherine, where police executed a search warrant. Authorities in Jamaica said el-Faisal is scheduled to appear later in court, although they did not provide a date. He is expected to be extradited to New York after his court appearance in Jamaica.

El-Faisal was arrested after a monthslong sting carried out by an undercover New York Police Department officer who communicated with him by email, text and video chat.

According to the Manhattan district attorney, el-Faisal offered to help the undercover officer travel to the Middle East and join fighters with the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS.

It's not clear if el-Faisal has an attorney.

The 53-year-old el-Faisal was born Trevor William Forrest in Jamaica.

U.S. authorities had long been concerned about him, fearing that he would emerge as a recruiter of marginalized, disaffected youth in Jamaica.

Born to Christian parents, he converted to Islam as a teenager and later left Jamaica for religious study.

He preached in London mosques, delivering sermons that advocated war with Jews, Hindus and other groups and the use of chemical weapons to exterminate unbelievers.

"The way forward is the bullet," he said in one recorded message.

Those talks got renewed attention after the Sept. 11 attacks and in 2003 he was convicted under of a seldom-used British law for inciting murder. After his release from prison in 2007 he was deported to Jamaica. The Islamic Council of Jamaica, which had banned el-Faisal from preaching in the country's mosques because of his inflammatory sermons, said it was not affiliated with el-Faisal and had no information regarding his arrest.

El-Faisal was subsequently ejected from Kenya after a trip there in 2009 because of suspicions of encouraging young men there to join an Islamic extremist group in Somalia. He was then deported to Jamaica in early 2010.

In diplomatic cables, first obtained and released by WikiLeaks, U.S. officials said he or his associates had been eyed in several suspected terror plots.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said el-Faisal "has dedicated his life to terror recruitment."

"Through his lectures, website and videos, he incites untold numbers of people around the world to take up the cause of jihad," Vance said. "As is alleged in this case, he provided material support to the Islamic State by facilitating the passage of a self-described ISIS sympathizer from New York to Syria. A charismatic leader, the defendant's rhetoric has been cited by several convicted or suspected terrorists in New York, London, and beyond."
