Italy: Two more arrests in jihadist attack on army barracks

That's the funny thing about the Tiny Minority of Extremists: Bit by bit, the number of known members always seems to be growing. An update on this story. "Italy: Two suspects arrested in military barracks attack," from AdnKronos International, October 13:

Milan, 13 October (AKI) - Two suspects and alleged accomplices were arrested early on Tuesday in connection with the attack against army barracks by a Libyan man, Mohammed Game, in the northern Italian city of Milan on Monday.
Italian media reports say an Egyptian and a Libyan were arrested by police after they interrogated friends and family members. The Egyptian man helped Game reach the barracks, while the Libyan suspect helped Game in finding the explosives.
More than 100 kilogrammes of explosives containing ammonium nitrate were seized at a house near Game's.

Cue the obligatory statements from "shocked" associates that a decent fellow like this would do such a thing:

Meanwhile, Game's wife Giovanna said she was "shocked" by the news and would have never suspected he could carry out a terror attack.
On Monday, an Italian soldier was injured after 35-year-old Game exploded a bomb hidden inside a toolbox at the entrance of the 'Santa Barbara' barracks. The man is said to have entered the courtyard of the barracks on foot, where he was confronted by a military guard.
He then detonated the rudimentary explosives, which were reportedly made of solid nitrate.
The toolbox where the man hid the explosive device contained two more kilogrammes of explosives, and according to reports, it only partially detonated.
Authorities have said if the entire load had detonated, there would definitely have been deaths....

The jihad is everywhere. Perhaps the State Department can hit the "reset" button and recognize that Islam is at war with the world since 700 AD and is showing no signs of letting up.

Meanwhile, Game's wife Giovanna said she was "shocked" by the news and would have never suspected he could carry out a terror attack.

Another Mohammad...he apparently neglected to say good-bye...
Guess that shows what he thinks of her...But then, there is nothing in the Quran that says a jihadi has to say good-by to his wife...or if it is, I must have missed it...
I don't think the Italians are going to tolerate this 'tiny Minority of Extremists', for very long...

"Meanwhile, Game's wife Giovanna said she was "shocked" by the news and would have never suspected he could carry out a terror attack."

Only a few possibilities here for her perplexity:

1. He is such an accomplished jihadist dissembler that even his wife was completely fooled. If so how can anyone else hope to separate the wheat from the chaff in the muslim community?

2. She is profoundly stupid. A distinct possibility.

3. She is lying. Now why would she do that I wonder?

Two very good letters about this news item at the site of the Corriere della Sera:

Un romanzo di Agata Christie ha il titolo "La serie infernale". Altrettanto infernale e senza fine è la serie di attentati con (kamikaze, anche donne e persino nonne) o senza esseri umani (mine e autobomba). Ecco alcuni, non recenti. Iraq. Trenta morti e 70 feriti: è il bilancio di un attentato che ha devastato un affollato mercato di Al Batha, cittadina irachena a 30 km da Nassiriya. Un'autobomba ha ucciso per lo più civili che stavano facendo acquisti alle bancarelle. Tra le vittime ci sono molte donne e bambini. Pakistan. Sedici morti e 57 feriti il bilancio di un attentato contro il Pearl Continental Hotel, un albergo di lusso a Peshawar. In Occidente fatti analoghi non accadono, se non causati da terroristi musulmani: Torri Gemelle, Atocha, Tube londinese, ecc.

Sono pienamente d'accordo con chi attacca lo Stato italiano, colpevole, sotto ogni tipo di governo, di miopia non tanto legislativa quanto applicativa delle norme che debbono regolare l'immigrazione e , soprattutto, le politiche d'integrazione. Ma le analisi sono drammaticamente incomplete: tutto cio' vale per culture molto simili alla nostra, vale per un romeno come per un peruviano, e' decisiva l'applicazione di regole chiare e non vessatorie nei confronti di un indiano , di un cinese o di un cubano. Non conta NULLA nel caso di un mussulmano, essere integralista e nazista che ritiene di poter vivere alle spale della nuova comunita', sfruttandone gli evidenti vantaggi rispetto alla squallida realta' di sua provenienza. Non si integra, mantiene la propria donna in una condizione di "cosa" complementare alla sua vita di vizi e aberrazioni culturali, uccide persino la figlia rea di violer guardare al mondo coi propri occhi. Questa gente, i mussulmani soprattutto di sesso maschile, non va fatta affluire mai piu', va ricacciata indietro dall'Europa per cui rappresenta gia' un cancro che col tempo sara' impossibile estirpare. La storia parla chiaro, le nostre posizioni su tutto sono inconciliabili e ciascuno deve rimanere a casa propria.

Uh, yea, Hugh. Excellent letters.

I tried to translate the two Italian posts Hugh put up. The first one was easier than the second one, which may have suffered from my translation:

A novel by Agatha Christie was titled "The Infernal Series". Just as infernal and without end is the series of attacks using humans (kamikaze, using women and even grandmothers) or without humans (mines and remote-control bombs). Here are some, not new: Iraq. Thirty dead and 70 injured -- the result of an attack which has devastated a crowded market of Al Batha, an Iraqi town 30 km from Nassiriya. A remote-control bomb that killed mostly civilians who were shopping at the street stalls. Among the victims were many women and children. Pakistan: sixteen dead and 57 injured, the result of an attack against the Pearl Continental Hotel, a luxury hotel in Peshawar. In the West no analogies have happened, if they have not been caused by Muslim terrorists: the Twin Towers, the Atocha Railway Station in Madrid, the London Tube, etc.

Fully in agreement, even guilty with those who attack the Italian state, are those under any type of government, in their myopia not only legislatively remiss but in terms of egregious policy when they should regulate immigration and, above all, the politics of assimilation. But the analyses are dramatically insufficient: for cultures very similar to ours there is value -- value for a Roman as much as for a Peruvian, and significantly the application rules are clear and not overly stringent when applied to an Indian, a Chinese, or a Cuban. This has NO relevance in the case of the Muslim, fundamentalist and fascist, who yet retains the ability to live openly in a new society, enjoying the advantages here in contrast to the squalid reality of his home country. But he does not assimilate, he maintains his wife in a way that comports to his life of cultural vices and aberrations, kills even his daughter "guilty" of the transgression of wanting to live her own life. These people, above all the Muslim men, are not the types to do well in society, but rather they will plunge deeper into Europe, for which already they represent a cancer which in time will become impossible to extirpate. It's clear: our positions are not reconciliable, and each should remain in their own house.

Here's a translation of both letters:

#1.

One of Agatha Christie’s novels is titled “The Infernal Series.” The series of attacks, those carried out by people (suicide bombers, women, even grandmothers) and without people (mines and carbombs), are just as infernal. Here are a few, not recent ones. Iraq: thirty dead and 70 wounded: these are the casualties in an attack devastating a crowded market in Al Bahta, a small Iraqi town 30 kilometers from Nassiriya. A car bomb killed mainly civilians, shopping in an outdoor market. Amopg the victims were many women and children. Pakistan: sixteen dead and 57 wounded were the victims of an attack against the Pearl Continental Hotel, a luxury hotel in Peshawar. Analogous events do not occur in the West except when carried out by Muslim terrorists: the Twin Towers, Atocha [the Madrid subway station where bombs went off], the London Tube, etc.


#2.

I fully agree with those who attack the Italian state, whatever its government, accusing it of short-sightedness, both in its laws and in the implementation of rules aimed at regulating immigration and, most of all, integration policies. These analyses are dramatically incomplete: all these things apply to cultures that are similar to ours, they apply to Romanians and to Peruvians. They require the application of clear and non-oppressive laws toward Indians, Chinese, Cubans. They have no value whatsoever in relation to Muslims, fundamentalist and Nazi-like, who believe they can live at the permanent expense of their new environment, exploiting to the fullest every advantage that it offers [in stark contrast] to the squalid reality of their [Muslim] places of origin. They do not integrate, they keep their woman as “things,” simply adjuncts to their lives of vice and cultural aberration. They will even kill a daughter found guilty of wishing to see the world with her own eyes. These people, especially male Muslims, are no longer to be allowed to come in, they should be sent back from Europe, where they already represent a cancer which time will render impossible to extinguish. History speaks clearly, our positions are completely irreconcilable, and each should stay in his own home [lit.: “at home where he belongs”]

There is hope for Europe after all. However, with the caveat that things in England are much, much worst than Italy.

Ah, jihadwatch.

The place where not only does one learn about the jihad, but one also has the opportunity to practise one's Italian, and at times, depending on links provided, and original sources quoted, one's French and German.

From the article - "More than 100 kilogrammes of explosives containing ammonium nitrate were seized at a house near Game's."

Funny that. Pity the chaps didn't have a 'work accident'.

Surely, if these Muslim jihad plotters have any non-Muslim neighbours, those Italian neighbours ought to be thinking very carefully about the likely 'benefits' of having Muslims in the neighbourhood, some of whom will most assuredly be plotting Jihad and storing and/ or cooking up explosives of various kinds, very often without any consideration of appropriate workplace health and safety practices; especially in the light of stories like *this* which just appeared in the Jerusalem Post:

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1255204781444&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Money quote: "Another report stated that the explosion followed a meeting held by Hizbullah officials in the village. Sources in the village estimated that the officials arrived at the home of Issa to practice the preparation of explosive devices or rockets and the explosion was caused by an accident. The sources said a fire started following the explosion and that firefighters had to cut electrical power to the village in order to quell the flames. The Lebanese Armed Forces were reportedly investigating the incident.
The explosion was followed by secondary explosions, an indication that there were large quantities of dynamite in the building."

and more:

In a way, all we need is for one or two or three Muslim households,or perhaps an Islamic school or mosque, in the West to go 'kablooey' in the same manner as this Hezbullah garage in southern Lebanon - and surely, sooner or later, they will (remember that convert to Islam who was keeping, in his kitchen, a cake tin full of highly-unstable home-made explosive?) and then at least some Infidel communities might start to apply the NIMBY principle to proposed Muslim renters, home buyers, and wouldbe mosque or 'Islamic school' builders.

(Thinks: what about that hotel/ motel in which the NYC jihad plotter was attempting to cook up TAT in the kitchen sink? Was it Infidel-owned or Muslim-owned? If *I* were an infidel motel owner, and the FBI told me that traces of a highly-unstable homemade explosive substance had been found in the vent of a room or suite I had recently rented to a Muslim, somehow I think I would be rather hesitant to rent out a room or suite to another Muslim, ever again; just to be on the safe side).

If you marry a Muslim man, be prepared to be shocked in one way or another...it's just going to happen.

Jihad, Italian Style.

Once again the media has missed the point of this terrorist attack. Islam is the core of the problem here, a fairly rotten core, considering that the vast majority of terrorism is motivated by Islam.


Name the enemy!
