Police were warned about the main suspect radicalising children in a local park two years ago, a neighbour has revealed.
Erica Gasparri, an Italian mother of three who lives in the same complex, said she confronted the man, known locally as “Abs”, after her son came home and said: “Mummy, I want to be a Muslim.”
Gasparri then went to the park, where she said a “Pakistani man” had stated: “I’m ready to do whatever I need to do in the name of Allah. I am ready in the name of Allah to do what needs to be done, including killing my own mother.”
She said: “I took four photographs of him and gave them to the police. They rang Scotland Yard when I was there and said the information had been passed on to Scotland Yard. They were very concerned. They told me to delete the photos for my own safety which I did but then I heard nothing. That was two years ago. No-one came to me. If they did this could have been prevented and lives could have been saved.
“He would go down to the park and talk to them about Islam and he also came to the houses and gave the kids money and sweets during Ramadan.”
Gasparri said she told other neighbours including a Polish woman, who then tipped off the suspect that he had been reported to police.
Today that woman said she was sorry: “I didn’t know he was a bad guy. Maybe I was blind.”
In a stand-up row near the suspect’s flat on Sunday evening, Erica told the Polish woman: “My first impressions was he was a terrorist radicaliser.”
Met Police said they were aware of the claims, but had no comment at this stage, as they had not released any information about any of the suspects.

It's like they are in it with them or the laws are not fit for purpose.

Currently we have insufficient laws to deal with this.
We've read that their are over 3000 listed as possible dangers. Not sure how we go about it but we can't continue to wait until they actually commit a crime. |

I'm a bit worried about Theresa May saying "we will take on and defeat out enemies"
Enough of the "we will". How about "we are"? Take action. There are 3,000 known activists. Lock them up. |

What amazes me is this unquestioned belief thats its only a tiny minority.
20,000 of concern and 3000 of serious concern is a bit more than that. Its not a few extremists here and there its a belief ingrained in the population . Even those that dont agree with it wont act or speak against it due to, 1 a tiny part of them still respect it and , 2 they know the reprecussions of going against their own. Its a massive fcok up now but meeting it head on now is the only way as it will only get harder the longer its left to grow. |

1.6 billion Muslims in the world, All known security data states that between 15-25% are Jihadists bent on the destruction of Western civilisation, that means between 180 million and 300 million want our destruction. FFS The 'silent majority' count for nothing.

A man who lived above the London Bridge terrorist for three years said: 'He always changed his facial appearance. He did that a lot. He always looked different.
'He lived there with his wife, who has just had a baby girl, and his mum. He also had another child. He would regularly play table tennis in the games room with everyone, you would never have suspected this. 'A man I recognised as his brother came here in the morning while police raided the flat and he was crying. That's when I thought "oh my, it's really him".' Another Barking resident knew the killer in the Arsenal shirt who was shot dead in the street. He said: 'He used to play table tennis and he was really generous with everyone's kids. People would leave their kids to play with him. 'You'd never expect anything like this from him.' While carrying out their barbaric attack, the three men were heard shouting, 'This is for Allah,' which surprised one resident. He told MailOnline: 'One time he stopped and help me get my car re-started. 'He said he wanted to help a fellow Muslim out. I thought it was odd he said he was religious because I never saw him at mosque. 'These people are usually radicalised in their bedrooms.' |

A former friend of the terrorist, who was shot dead by police along with two accomplices, claimed he had been radicalised while watching YouTube videos and said he contacted the authorities after becoming concerned over his friend’s extremist views.
The former friend claimed he contacted police after comments the man made about other previous attacks. But he said the authorities had failed to act and take action despite evidence of increasingly extremist views. The friend told the BBC’s Asian Network that the terrorist had been radicalised watching videos of the infamous American hate preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril. He said: “We spoke about a particular attack that happened and like most radicals he had a justification for anything and everything and that day I realised I needed to contact the authorities.” He added: “He used to listen to a lot of Musa Jibril. I have heard some of this stuff and its very radical. I am surprised this stuff is still on YouTube and is easily accessible. I phoned the anti-terror hotline. I spoke to the gentleman. I told him about our conversation and why I think he was radicalised.” However, he said he was not arrested and was allowed to keep his passport. “I did my bit, I know a lot of other people did their bit, but the authorities did not do their bit,” the friend said. |
