Britain on Edge: Imminent Islamist Attack Looms as ISIS Threat Resurges London, December 28, 2025 – Britain faces a heightened risk of Islamist terrorism as security officials warn of a resurgent Islamic State (ISIS) threat,
following the conviction of two men for plotting what police described as potentially “the deadliest terrorist attack in UK history.”Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were found guilty on December 23 at Preston Crown Court of preparing acts of terrorism.
The pair, inspired by ISIS, planned a gun rampage targeting the Jewish community in northwest England, aiming to acquire assault rifles similar to those used in the 2015 Paris Bataclan massacre that killed 130 people. Saadaoui’s brother, Bilel, 36, was convicted of failing to disclose information about the plot.Assistant Chief Constable Robert Potts of Counter-Terrorism Policing Northwest called the foiled plan “one of the most significant plot disruptions in recent years,” noting that its execution could have had “catastrophic” consequences with hundreds potentially killed.The convictions come amid broader concerns about ISIS’s revival.
Although the group lost its territorial caliphate in 2019, experts say it is reorganising, using online propaganda to radicalize individuals. MI5 Director General Ken McCallum has highlighted a “worsening threat from al-Qaeda and in particular Islamic State,” with the UK seeing signs of escalating jihadist activity.
The UK’s terrorism threat level remains SUBSTANTIAL, meaning an attack is likely, as set by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC). Islamist extremism accounts for about 75% of MI5’s counter-terrorism caseload, with lone actors or small groups often self-radicalised online posing the primary risk.This plot follows other recent incidents, including an October 2025 attack on a Manchester synagogue that killed two people, treated as terrorism motivated by Islamic extremism.
Globally, a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah event in Sydney’s Bondi Beach earlier this month, which ISIS praised, has further raised alarms.Security Minister Dan Jarvis condemned antisemitic terrorism, stating: “A terrorist attack upon our Jewish friends and neighbours is an attack on us all.” Counter Terrorism Policing has urged public vigilance, especially during the holiday season.While no specific imminent attack has been publicly confirmed beyond ongoing threats, intelligence sources emphasise the unpredictable nature of lone-wolf assaults. Since 2017, MI5 and police have disrupted over 40 late-stage plots, underscoring the persistent danger.Jewish community leaders have praised the police and undercover operations that prevented the Manchester plot, but expressed ongoing fears for safety amid rising antisemitism.As 2025 draws to a close, Britain remains alert, with experts predicting the Islamist threat will endure for years due to online radicalisation and global instability. The public is reminded to report suspicious activity to authorities.
Wake Up, Britain: The Islamist Storm is Upon Us – Imminent Attack Looms! Dear readers, if you’re reading this from the comfort of your home in London, Manchester, or any corner of our once-peaceful isles, I urge you to sit up and pay attention. The shadows of terror are lengthening, and the warnings are screaming from every intelligence corner. Britain is on the brink of what could be one of the most devastating Islamist attacks in our history – and it’s not a matter of if, but when.
Recent events paint a chilling picture: foiled plots that could have slaughtered hundreds, synagogue attacks, and now, dire alerts from MI6-trained experts that an assault is imminent. Our government under Keir Starmer seems asleep at the wheel, prioritising politics over protection. This isn’t scaremongering; this is a wake-up call before it’s too late.Let’s start with the cold, hard facts. Just days ago, on December 23, 2025, two men – Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein – were convicted of plotting an Islamic State-inspired gun rampage targeting the Jewish community in northwest England.
Prosecutors described it as potentially “one of, if not the, deadliest terrorist attack in UK history.”
These jihadists were stockpiling assault rifles akin to those used in the 2015 Paris Bataclan massacre, which claimed 130 lives. Imagine that horror unfolding in Manchester or Liverpool – crowds mowed down in cold blood, families shattered, our streets turned into war zones. And this isn’t isolated; it’s part of a sinister resurgence of ISIS, harnessing AI and online influencers to radicalise sleeper cells right here on British soil.
But wait, it gets worse. Earlier this month, on December 4, a terrorist struck at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, leading to the arrest and charging of a suspect in what authorities have confirmed as a terrorist incident.
This wasn’t a random act; it’s a pattern. The December Monthly Terrorism Update from Pool Reinsurance highlights multiple attacks on behalf of Islamic State in the UK this year alone, including this synagogue horror.
And let’s not forget the global context – the recent mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing 15, which ISIS hailed as a “source of pride.”
European security officials are sounding the alarm: ISIS and al-Qaeda are exporting violence, radicalising lone wolves online to strike at any moment.
Now, the most terrifying revelation comes from a live broadcast that’s exploding across social media: an MI6-trained spy has directly warned Prime Minister Starmer of an imminent Islamist attack on British soil.

In a chilling session, the expert details how our porous borders, online radicalisation, and government inaction are fuelling this powder keg. Posts on X (formerly Twitter) are flooding in, with users from all walks of life sharing the video and expressing outrage.
One user likened it to Iran’s 1979 Islamic regime takeover, warning that Britain could face mass executions if we don’t act now.
Another blasts Starmer’s Labour government for putting citizens at risk through misguided policies.
MI5’s own assessments confirm this nightmare. Islamist terrorism remains the UK’s most significant threat by volume, with lone actors self-radicalizing online to carry out low-tech but deadly assaults.

Director General Ken McCallum has thwarted 19 late-stage plots since 2020, but the flood continues.
Forecasts for 2025 predict a surge in such threats, fuelled by political polarisation and regional tensions like the ongoing Middle East conflicts.
We’re not talking about distant hypotheticals – this is happening now, in our cities, targeting our communities.Britain, we’ve been here before: 7/7 bombings, Manchester Arena, London Bridge. Each time, we mourn, we vow “never again,” yet here we are, teetering on the edge once more. The Islamist threat has evolved – from organised groups to hybrid lone wolves inspired by Daesh and al-Qaeda.

Our intelligence services are stretched thin, and with 75% of MI5’s caseload tied to Islamic extremism, the writing is on the wall.

What can we do? Demand action from Starmer: tighten borders, crack down on online radicalisation, and prioritise British safety over political correctness. If we ignore these warnings, the next attack won’t be foiled – it will be front-page devastation. Share this post, contact your MP, stay vigilant. The storm is coming; will we let it engulf us? Stay safe, stay alert.
