A
story like this one, bereft of detail and in the BBC version, of any
indication other than his name that Abdul Rahman Benhammedi
may have been up to
Islamic
jihad activity, is utterly routine and
unremarkable. Abdul Rahman Benhammedi is one of thousands in the U.K.
who are interested in waging jihad and up to it in one way or another;
his case will come and go and is unlikely to be much noted or long
remembered. Britain has, in other words, grown accustomed to this sort
of thing. A certain level of terror in their lives is going to be the
lot of Britons from now on, and most of them are just fine with that;
after all, their government and media tells them that it is preferable
to committing “Islamophobia.”

charged with terrorism offence,” BBC, July 11, 2014:
