Analysis by Daniel De Simone, BBC home affairs (SAFF comments in Red)

'There is a crossover between elements of the extreme right wing and certain forms of Satanism and the occult, meaning Danyal Hussein's ideological journey is perhaps less unusual than it might seem.'  (Prejudiced unfact:  Satanists tend to be from the right of the political spectrum.  Some Satanists are Neo-Nazis, but the majority are simply Hedonists with a Goth lifestyle.  There is only one form of philosophical Satanism,  which is comprehensively explained in Anton LaVey's book, The Satanic Bible (1966) and his group, The Church of Satan has never been involved in any crime of any kind, terrorist or otherwise and SAFF records over three decades  prove that so-called 'Satanic Crime' is exceedingly rare. Rarer than any other form of criminal activity by far.) 

'Misogyny is also a common theme of this world, generating a deeply toxic blend of beliefs.' (If  De Simone repeated that to most lady Satanists they'd come back with a retort that would wither his scrotum!  You would soon learn, De Simone, that genuine Neo-Satanism empowers women and does not subjugate them. Lady Satanists are self-reliant , the last thing they need is protection from patronising men like De Simone)

'Since 2019, six young men - five of them teenagers - have been convicted of extreme right-wing terrorism offences connected to a violent form of Satanism. Two neo-Nazi groups recently banned as terrorist organisations have promoted the ideology.'  (More BBC untruths.  Why has De Simone tracked back three years to find a year which featured  Satanic Far-Right convictions?   Five of these young men were convicted of being members of an outlawed Far-Right group (not for committing an actual terrorist act). They also had passing interests in the Occult which were worked-up to discredit them in court.   In 2017 there were twice as many Islamic plots uncovered as Far-Right.  Far-Right = 8,  Islamic = 16.  Still very small when compared with, say, knife crime murders which numbered 275 (two hundred and seventy five deaths) the same year.  One must try to get a sense of proportion here.  Note that these Far-Right plots were said to have been foiled, there were no actual terrorist attacks committed.   As far as we can ascertain none of the 2017 eight were Satanists.  Clearly , the death toll for Islamic attacks over the past 20 years is astronomically higher than those done by people accused of being Far-Right and falsely accusing them of being Satanists doesn't alter this.      In  2017   Islamic State terrorist Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahma, tried to kill the prime minister Theresa May and later the same year Mohiussunnath Chowdhury slashed police officers with a knife outside Buckingham Palace. Chowdhury was tried but astonishingly found not guilty of terrorism, he was later discovered in 2018 to be planning further terrorist attacks so was arrested again. .  This Wikipedia page has a list of  actual terrorist attacks.  The media's focus on Far-Right terrorism began after the 2018 Finsbury Park Mosque attack by racist Darren Osborne in which an Asian man was killed when Osborne drove his van into a crowd 'because he hated Moslems'.  Osborne had no interest in Satanism or the Occult.  To imply that all Satanists are likely terrorists is a downright and some may say, a convenient lie.

'One boy, who was convicted in 2019 of planning a terrorist attack, had written of hunting for women in a forest, in a disturbing echo of Hussein's crimes.'

A 'disturbing echo'? Really?  Well we don't have to go back to 2019 Simone. Here's a 'disturbing echo' of Hussein's Crimes  from just a few weeks before Hussein's trial in which a Pakistani man choked a 14 year old girl to death and then set alight to the house and killed her mother as well.  (see image on the right) I think that a double-killing of two females is more of a 'disturbing echo' of Hussein's crimes than someone who had written that he might hunt for women in a forest don't you?  Particularly when Hussein didn't kill his victims 'in a forest' anyway, it was parkland, not a forest.

The words 'Satanist' and 'Far Right' do not appear in this 'Handyman', case because Shahbaz Khan was not a Satanist, he killed because he had robbed his victims of gold jewellery.  However there was a supernatural dimension to the case because this evil double-murderer tried to blame his killings on 'Djinns - Islamic spirits -  whom he claimed had slayed his victims instead of him!    A bit like when, in the absence of a motive, the police implied that it was Hussein's belief in Satanism that caused him to kill when in reality he killed because he was a psychopath who wasn't stopped by the mechanisms of State when he came to their notice earlier.  

Didn't you remember this Handyman case when you were writing your self-righteous nonsense De Simone?   Violent psychopaths are violent psychopaths and you do our society a great disservice in trying to float despicable stereotypes of Satanists and shibboleths of the far-right to confuse the issue. ) [source]

'Some people start with a far-right ideology, explore the extreme right, and wind up - typically via the culture of certain online spaces - influenced by cruel and violent occult ideas, encouraging the very worst of human nature.'   ( Bit like BBC staff eh De Simone?  Bashir?  Savile?   Do you know how many murders and crimes have been committed by Christian Pastors and churchmen , De Simone?  Take a look here:  After seeing this are you going to condemn Christianity as well as Satanism?   Are you going to blame all Christians for 'encouraging the worst of human nature' or just the actions of a few of them?  Are you going to blame the whole of Christianity for what some maverick Christians have done?   More and more you seem to be driven by bigotry. Perhaps by referring to 'the very worst of human nature' you meant the Silesian Christian inquisitor who built a special oven in which he roasted alive 42 innocent women accused of heresy in 1651?   Get off your puritanical self-righteous high-horse De Simone, there have never been any Satanic Crimes to compare with what the orthodox religions have achieved. 

'The raid on Hussein's home came almost a month after the bodies of the sisters were discovered intertwined, as if laid out as a sacrifice, in the undergrowth of Fryent Country Park in Wembley, north-west London.'

This last  egregious misinterpretation from De Simone is typical of the kind of unprofessional reporting we have come to expect from the BBC.  Firstly there is no prior example of people being 'laid out as a sacrifice' and no extant rituals or liturgy which demand that, it is a fiction.  This evil justification was tried in the tragic case of poor Rikki Neave which the  SAFF first exposed in 1996 when other evil people used that same lie to succeeded in imprisoning Rikki's mother for 'ritually sacrificing him'.  See  http://saff.nfshost.com/rikkineave.htm  Twenty four years later, after years in prison, and when Ruth Neave's life had been destroyed by that lie, the police found the REAL killer of Rikki and banged him up.    There was no sacrifice involved in any of it, it was plain murder, no occult or satanic connection at all.  Trying that trick again is a despicable act of journalistic cowardice De Simone and you should forever hang your head in shame for using it.
