Lebanese suspect in German bomb plot: Cartoon Rage made him do it

Inner Spiritual Struggle Hamad Update. "Lebanese says Prophet cartoons led to bomb plot," from AFP:

BERLIN: A Lebanese man who has admitted plotting to bomb two trains in Germany said in an interview that he and his accomplice were driven by the publication of cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammad. Jihad Hamad told German public television NDR in his first interview since turning himself in to police in Beirut in August that he and fellow Lebanese national Youssef Mohammed al-Hajdib wanted to exact revenge for an affront against Islam.
"Youssef told me that two German newspapers had printed the Mohammad caricatures. He told me that we could not do nothing," NDR quoted him as saying. "We would go to hell if we did not do anything."
Hajdib, who was registered as a student in Germany, is in custody in Berlin.
The publication of the 12 Mohammad cartoons in a Danish newspaper last year, and their reproduction in other mostly European media this year, sparked Muslim anger worldwide and triggered a wave of violent protests.
Authorities believe Hamad and Hajdib are the two men captured on security cameras July 31 planting suitcases packed with bombs on trains. Technical defects in the bombs prevented an almost certain bloodbath.
Hamad told NDR that he and Hajdib had no other accomplice. "There was no third person," he said.

"We would go to hell if we did not do anything."

They were so sure they would not go to hell in Allah's paradise if their bombs killed the infidels. People of Germany, please give them a taste of hell on earth.

Up here in canada I made a prediction last year that came true and is even worse than I thought.

The Liberal MP that stayed in power by bashing the USA and Bush , along with appeasing the Arabs and Muslim voters by portraying Israel as the bully , had allowed Palestine House in Erindale Mississauga to lower the Canadian and Palestinian flag at the same time when Arafat die on Nov 10th.

I warned people that those Muslims will hijack Rememberance Day as Arafat day , and sure enough
the proof is below.
Note how it has becopme a fund raiser for the female shields that the Hamas cowards hid behind
and I'm guessing were hit by Hamas gun fire to be blamed on the IDF.

__________________________________________________
**Palestine House Presents: Solidarity With the Women of Beit Hanoun**

When: 4pm-7pm, Saturday November 11th
Where: Palestine House, 3195 Erindale station Rd Mississauga, Ontario
Palestine House invites all supporters to a special event this coming
Saturday, 11 November, "Solidarity with the Women of Beit Hanoun". As of 5
November, 49 Palestinians have been killed and over 200 wounded in the
Israeli bombardment of the northern Gaza Strip . Speakers will discuss the
situation and what we can do to support the people of Gaza. Photographs of
Gaza from the renowned photo-journalist Jon Elmer will be on display. The
event is a fundraiser for women in Beit Hanon.
Live testimony from Beit Hanoon will be heard
For more information or to make a pledge please contcat:
info@palestinehouse.com or phone (905)-270-3622
The event coincides with the second anniversary of Chairman Arafat death

**************************************************

Not one word about Canada and the lives lost that bought their freedom to spew hatred in canada , where is CAIR to denouce this praising of suicide martys forced to take bullets for Hamas, or how Nov 11th is now enshrined in that area as "Arafat Day" .
This event has pushed me beyond any tolerance for the Hezbollah flag wavers in Toronto and the Dr.Elmasry yahoo's that demand Sharia-Law in canada .

Enough is enough folks, tell Palestine House what you really think of them hijacking the deaths of our young men in battles just to paraise a Terrorist/thug/theif and liar like Arafat who robbed his people and hid the money in his wifes name outside of the country.

Here's the website and just click on the "Events" tab on the upper menu bar.
These slimeball weasels have no interest in adapting to the West, they want to bring their poverty and violence here just to claim that Islam will bring peace.

This bomb plot....it wouldn't happen to have involved putting one in a turban, would it?

Re: "BERLIN: A Lebanese man who has admitted plotting to bomb two trains in Germany said in an interview that he and his accomplice were driven by the publication of cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammad".

The fascinating aspect of all this is how self-perception and beliefs predict behavior, more so than facts. The perception that the belief-system is an absolute-truth is the main-spring of this supremacist attitude of Muslim entitlement to deference with regard to the cartoons and the entitlement to harming unbelievers for not believing. There is no separation of belief from fact. It's amazing. This belief-system is delusional in this regard.

Stupid muslim!! The cartoon didn't make you be an idiot....it was your fool clerics. He probably never laid an eye on the cartoons.

Four things must be destroyed for the free world to win permanently:

a) fear from hellfire
b) fear from physical harm for apostacy
c) fear from physical harm for 'insulting Islam'
d) fear from physical harm for 'dishonoring men'


Fear is what keeps it all together. Allah is a monster in the closet meant to keep muslims in line. Destroy the fear and you destroy the power of Submission.

Touchy people, these Muslims. See a cartoon, get insulted, kill. Is there a thinner skinned bunch out there than a Muslim?

As for going to hell if they did nothing I say they're already in hell if they are Muslims.

Another dung beetle that needs to be squashed using islam to justify his criminal behavior. They are to obey our laws in our lands. If they cannot then they need to be imprisoned then deported/executed.

As lethal as GTA3 might be, it's nothing compared with cartoons of Mohammed.

Think about it: when was the last time a GTA3 gamer was involved in bomb plots?

By the way, Off Topic, I need backup with Robert Spencer's Wikipedia entry, some muslim is putting lots of biased crap in it:

Re: the Wiki revision

Well of course. Those 13,000,000 Jews who've been trying to destroy islam of the 1,x00,000,000 followers have been, so far, unsuccessful. But now that Robert Spencer has joined forces with them, it's 13,000,001! Victory for the eeeevil Zionist Crusaders is just around the corner!

Time for more "peaceful inner struggles".

I just read also that Britain is 'keeping their eye on' 16,000 suspected terrorists in their nation, and think that there may be as many as 30 planned massive terror plots in the works using WMD's (The ones that saddam snuck out of Iraq just in time for the war) I wonder what the terrorists excuse for cold blooded murder will be for these attacks shouldthey happen? They'll need to come up with 30 excuses to try to 'justify' their attacks and 'explain the reasons why' to the world public who will gobble up their lives as they love to do. 'Cartoons made me do it' won't be excuse enough next time- they've used up their 'the pope made me do it', their 'someone called us a bad name' excuses, their 'I didn't want to but someone looked at us wrong' excuses. The religion of eternal outrage-

Huh.
So drawing cartoons of something compels mohammedans to do that thing?

Silly me. Here I've been going to school and working all this time to make money. What I should do is draw some cartoons of Mo-Dogg giving me money. I need my house painted, too.

If I do that, they have no choice but to obey, right?

Posted by: Eisenhund [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 10, 2006 3:53 PM

Hamad told NDR that he and Hajdib had no other accomplice. "There was no third person," he said.

_______________

I would qualify the "third person" as being radical muslims who act violently and the moderate muslims who say nothing and hear nothing.

--They will look at it here like: "Well, you know, since nobody was hurt...."
People here are just grateful for that, so why hand out harsh punishments?

And these are the same people that want Donald Rumsfeld to stand trial for war crimes at Abu Ghraib...

Israel's territorial security is clearly not enhanced by invading Iraq. Also, an oil pipeline from Iraq to Israel is impossible to maintain under violence. Israel's interests would only be further damaged if America invaded Syria.

So why do the Zionists keep pushing Christians into invading Arabs?

The only motive that remains is that Zionists really want Christians to kill Arabs. This mission is certainly being accomplished.

But why are Zionists so obsessed with having Arabs killed at any price?

One third of the Quran is dedicated to giving Christians an alternative view of how their heritage was negatively affected by the work of some of the Children of Israel. Not knowing Christian heritage, Arabs do not really understand this part of the Quran. But a calm dialogue between Arabs and Christians about this part of the Quran would reveal many surprising facts to both sides. The Arabs can understand the language, and the Christians can understand the context.

This is not the same as debates between defensive Muslims, on the one side, and Christians affected by Zionist stereotypes of Muslims, on the other.

Despite Zionist objections and warmongerings, this long overdue, calm and reasoned dialogue is beginning to take place.
