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

EU and UK: Stabbing and beheading while praising Allah is not “religiously inspired terrorism”

May 30, 2014 11:26 am By Nicolai Sennels

AdebolajoA small detail in EuroPol’s report “European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report 2014” underlines the cowardice of the EU and the UK when it comes to confronting Islamic terrorism:

European Union (EU) Member States reported no terrorist attacks specifically classified as religiously inspired terrorism for the 2013 period. However, in at least two attacks, the role of religious radicalisation appears to be evident. On 22 May 2013, an off-duty British army soldier was murdered in the vicinity of army barracks in Woolwich, London (UK). The attackers initially used a car to run him over, before repeatedly stabbing him with bladed weapons. The two suspects – British Muslim converts of Nigerian descent – were arrested at the scene. Further arrests of their associates were made from May onwards. The assailants were self-organised but previously had links to radical Muslim groups in the UK (al-Muhajiroun and its later incarnation, the Sharia4 movement).16 One of the suspects was also believed to have attempted to travel to Somalia in the past in order to join Harakat al-Shabab al-Mujahidin (HSM, Young Mujahidin Movement). Both attackers were convicted of the murder in December 2013.

On 25 May 2013, just three days after the aforementioned attack, a French soldier was targeted in a non-fatal knife attack in La Défense near Paris (France) by an individual who converted to Islam and radicalised in an extremely short period of time.

    Yes, in the U.K we get all the political blather about ‘misguided young men’, about how we can depend on ‘the Muslim community’, and how one day there will be ‘integration’; in the meantime, there is no independent critical analysis of how tenets of Islam inspire violence, and no specific plans to stop Islamic organizations from carrying out such violence globally.

      Thank you for your post.

      One item to note, however, is that the tenets of Islam do not inspire violence.

      They mandate it.

      It is those specific tenets which remain in serious need of independent critical analysis.

      Thanks.

      Your comment that
      in the U.K there are no specific plans to stop Islamic organizations from carrying out such violence globally may be true yet we must congratulate the UK politicians on their apparent outstanding one year record of stopping religiously inspired terrorism.
      The Monty Python actors must be so proud.

      Liberal twits in North America and Europe do not have the guts to call Islamic terrorism what it is. Even Major Hassan’s jihad attack at Fort Hood was called “work-place violence.” They are cowards who are willfully blind to the religious motivations of our enemies.

    This report is wholly consistent with the grand plan of the EU Commission and the Frankfurt School to destroy the nation states of Europe by the policy of race replacement.

    For those in charge whose plan this is, to admit to a problem, of concern to the voters, would be an admission of shortcoming on their part. That cannot be allowed to happen, the “purity” of the plan cannot be questioned.

    1984 is a little late in arriving that’s all.

    Either this corrupt regime is overthrown or parts of Europe will be going up in flames.

      I sometimes notice the same thing.
      I am not sure why this happens on occasion, it might be a network timeout thing but It can be useful to highlight the post and do a right click copy especially if you notice a long delay in the posting. This should at least help in not having to retype.

    No proof will change the minds of people who want to believe in a fantasy. Even if they were killed by a suicide bomber and raised back to life, they would deny the cause upon resurrection.

    The reason western governments and media are doing what they do is not to enable islam but to prevent a reaction by the thankful majority – at least where it comes to money, power, weapons, and basic human f’ing decency is still very much in charge. that is what the media knows and the government of western powers ultimately know that. There is a tipping point. And maybe, unfortunately, that tipping point isn’t 9/11 but something more – another 9/11, 10x 9/11, 100x 9/11? who knows, but there is one and when it is reached there will be massive reaction. severe, deep and societal level change – the outcome will be among other things, and simultaneously, the redefinition of religion to something akin to astrology, and massive eradication of those that are willing to kill for some ridiculous ideology. There will be enough people, righteously enraged, that will realize religion, as anything other than the equivalent of incense that you burn in your own home, is destructive. Reason and Logic will reign.

      Oh, good grief, holybacon.

      It isn’t generic “religion” that is leading its devotees to behead people in the streets—its just Islam.

      What witless moral equivalence.

      there is no question that violence far greater than 9-11-01 will occur. it is only a question of how great a disaster will be required to open the eyes of people who are determined to be blind. it is also a question of will the attacked population still have the means to defend themselves when at long, long last they finally do open their eyes. is does no good, after you are stripped naked and locked in a room to open your eyes, and remark, “hey, those aren’t shower nozzles!” islam granted the west a great gift on 9-11-01: permission and full justification to remove every muslim from our country. thanks to the stupidity of w. bush and the willful blindness of our elites and media, we threw away that gift, guaranteeing a much worse disaster. stand by to find out what it will be.

    THE CAULDRON OF DISCONTENT
    The cauldron of discontent continues to simmer,
    While government speakers are openly in denial.
    Of hope for avoiding the trouble there’s barely a glimmer,
    The conflict is coming, and will be a terrible trial.

    The attackers were reciting the Koran at the scene, and were also carrying it to court during trial. Yet more evidence of European bureaucrats and politicians inhabiting a politically correct parallel universe.

    • Michael Copeland says

      May 31, 2014 at 1:33 pm

      One of the attackers noted on a sheet of paper a number of Koran verses which authorised his action, and handed it to a passer-by. Cameron, in a massive failure, announced that “there is nothing in Islam to justify” these acts.

    The UK Government has decided IN ADVANCE that:

    “the ideology of extremism and terrorism is the problem;
    legitimate religious belief emphatically is not.”

    (Theresa May’s foreword to the Prevent Strategy on https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/97976/prevent-strategy-review.pdf).
    This therefore causes all the pretzel contortionism about Islamists and extremists. Islam itself fits, like a glove, the government’s definition of “extremism” in the “Prevent” strategy. Because of Islam’s mandating of the violent subjugation of unbelievers the “ideological political movement“ (Anjem Choudary) qualifies as “violent extremism” the very matter the Prevent strategy is supposed to counter.
    See Extremism – “There is a problem within Islam”

    It is painfully depressing to rate the countries of W.Europe and the Americas as to how cowardly they’ve become in the face of the mohammedans. Who is worse, empty suit Obama and his handlers or the British? Or French? Or Dutch? Or Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, or or or or! Does anyone out there know of some scale or chart or measure by which we can rank them? I am not hopeful about the survival of our 2500 yr. old Western Culture.

      there is a ready explanation for Obama’s apparent treason: he is a muslim, and is waging jihad against infidels, just as required by his Islamic holy scriptures. you are right about the “leaders” of Europe. there is no explanation for their actions. cowardice and stupidity will only explain so much. but don’t worry. soon, the leaders in Europe will be muslims, and then there will be a good explanation for their evil acts.

    And no one could help because Brits are not allowed to carry defensive weapons.
