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

Switzerland: Three Muslims arrested, suspected of aiding Islamic State and planning jihad attack in Europe

Muslim men pray in front of the Swiss Federal Palace during a protest against islamophobia and racism in BernThe appeal of the caliphate is clearly global. But for Western authorities to acknowledge that would be for them to admit that it had something to do with Islam.

“Three Iraqis arrested in Switzerland, suspected of planning attack,” Reuters, October 31, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann)

ZURICH, Oct 31 (Reuters) – Swiss authorities said on Friday they had arrested three Iraqi citizens in March who are suspected of providing support to Islamic State and planning an attack in Europe.

The three are also suspected of using explosives and toxic gases with criminal intent, of pornography offences and encouraging illegal access to and from Switzerland, the Swiss public prosecutor said a statement.

The trio, who were not named and have not yet been charged, are still in detention while investigations continue.

Switzerland has sought assistance from European authorities, the prosecutors said. A joint investigation team comprising officers from Switzerland’s Federal Criminal Police and the U.S. FBI had also been set up, they said — a first of its kind since the two countries signed a cooperation pact in 2006.

“No further details relating to this particular criminal investigation can be provided for operational reasons,” the prosecutors’ statement said.

The three arrests were reported last month by Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger, but the Swiss authorities said they were only confirming the story now so as not to jeopardise the ongoing enquiries….

      And he’s still walking around free, preaching hate for the country that is paying him welfare. Britain is insane, absolutely insane.

    I recall when the Swiss police raided a mujahadin safehouse many decades ago, and found the document laying out the Mo-Bro-Hood’s long term plan for world takeover. Then, after the passage of a long period of time, and the occurence of many Moslem activist mass murder operations, out napes were grabbed and our faces shoved in to see the spectacle of a Moslem Knight, the FBI and Pentagon inviting mujahadin experts in for their advice, a hafiz “employed” at the White House, and worst of all a daughter of one of the world’s great terror elite families sitting at the right hand of the Secretary of State.

    This Moslem thing works. The world apologizes to them as they continue to work their predations. Hell, we discovered their master plan long ago, and proceeded to play along with our role in the script. It’d make a great movie, except for the theaters being blown up.

    Those three Muslim who scheming in Switzerland to commit murderous violence in Europe in their jihad for ISIS just might be so thoroughly brainwash in the jihad violence of Islam,Sura 9:11. 47:4 , they might be of such an evil , sick ,warped and deluded way of thinking that they really view their brutal and deadly violence that they were scheming as something that is “good.” If this the case with them , then the answer to such an evil, sick, warped and deluded mindset in found in the Bible .Which in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call good evil and evil good…” [N.I.V.]

    Time to release the whole coop of racing pigeons to do a low flyby and drop their payload of digested birdfeed.

    Where is Allah?
    I don’t know, but keep looking he is roasting somewhere down there in a fiery pit beside Muhammad.

    “The three are also suspected…of pornography offences…”

    Pornography offences? Muslims don’t usually watch porn…or…do they?
