Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Germany: Muslim charged with planting pipe bomb in Bonn train station and plotting to assassinate leader of counter-jihad party

BonnstationpoliceThe fact that he is being referred to as “Marco G.” suggests that he is a convert to Islam, which raises the question yet again of what programs mosques and Islamic schools have in place in Germany or anywhere else to teach against the idea that jihad involves violence against unbelievers. And the answer is that there are no such programs, anywhere; none at all. That fact, however, doesn’t seem to trouble anyone.

“German Islamist charged over failed Bonn station attack in 2012,” from Reuters, March 14:

BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s federal prosecutor on Friday charged a 26-year-old German man, described as a radical Islamist, with planting a pipe bomb in Bonn train station in 2012 and intending to kill as many people as possible. The bomb did not explode.

The man, named only as Marco G., was also charged with planning to assassinate the leader of a far-right anti-Muslim political party, Pro-NRW, with three accomplices, a 43-year-old Albanian man, a 25-year-old German-Turkish citizen, and a 24-year-old German.

The group had bought guns and a silencer to prepare for the assassination, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. They were also charged with planning further attacks on Pro-NRW.

Marco G. had taken his home-made bomb, hidden in a sports bag, to Bonn station and left it on a platform. Due to the bomb’s faulty construction, however, it never detonated.

In 2006, two suitcase bombs left by Islamist militants on commuter trains in Cologne failed to explode.

Germany faces an increased threat of attack, officials say, because about a dozen German jihadis have returned from fighting in Syria, prepared to use their knowledge of weapons and bomb-making for attacks in the West.

    Mohammed sent out hit-squads to liquidate anyone who criticized his program of theft, extortion, enslavement and expropriation. A number of contemporaries of Mohammed tried to shame Arabs who had joined what was nothing less than a gang of hooligans under their ringleader Mohammed. Mohammed was an enemy of free speech. Speech that didn’t glorify Mohammed was to be suppressed.

    Converts who read the primary source texts of Islam, the Sira and hadiths, learn quickly that murdering critics of Islam provides rewards in paradise and therefore is ‘sacred violence’ with benefits. ISLAM PROMOTES MURDER TO SUPPRESS FREE EXPRESSION. So much for democracy.

    First the islam came for the nazis
    And we did not speak out because they were no loss.

    First the islam came for the lunatics
    And we did not speak out because they were no loss.

    Then the islam came for the cretins
    And we did not speak out because they were no loss.

    Then the islam came for the commies
    And we did not speak out because they were no loss.

    Then the islam came for the criminals
    And we did not speak out because they were no loss.

    Then the islam came for the cowards
    And we did not speak out because they were no loss.

    And then the islam came for the rest of us
    And there were still billions of us left to destroy them.

    And Germany removes children from Christian homeschooling families because (as they claim) they don’t want a parallel culture in their country. Willful blindness? Willful ignorance? Denial?

      No, it’s simply evil. It’s puré evil.

      They know the evils of islam yet they willingly choose to help it to spread instead of fighting it.

      It’s imposible not to know how perverse islam is given the perseverant and vast amount of efforts carried out by muslims throughout centuries to prove it through their countless hatred-spewing ‘clerics’/’scholars’ and hordes of (un)holy warriors (aka terrorists/mass killers) who do nothing but replicate the teachings of their ‘holy’ book and the actions of their ‘guide’ muhammad.

    equally important…which programs, mosques, or schools do teach that jihad involves violence against unbelievers….

    From the article – “Germany faces an increased threat of attack, officials say, because about a dozen German jihadis have returned from fighting in Syria, prepared to use their knowledge of weapons and bomb-making for attacks in the West.”

    So, let me get this right: 1/ they know how many of them there are “about a dozen” and presumably they have a pretty good idea *who* they are 2/ they know they have been in Syria where they have gained battle experience and gotten training in how to make bombs that actually explode (as opposed to this Dangerous Convert, ‘Marco G’ and his equally incompetent fellow plotters, whose bombs were planted but did *not* go off)…and 3/ **knowing all this (before these people came back?) they let them back into Germany?? !!!**

    This is madness.

    If you know who they are and you know where they’ve gone and you know they are wallowing in the jihad bloodbath in Syria and learning how to make better bombs, etc…then the sensible thing is this: cancel their citizenship or residency, and **do not let them back in**.

      Germany faces an increased threat of attack because it foolishly brought the enemy into their borders.

    Some religions are about religion
    Islam is about politics.
    Islam can’t stand on its own as a religion.

    Why isn’t anyone calling all Germans “snaggle toothed panty waists”?
