Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Spanish Police Arrest Brothers Suspected of Planning Jihad,” Reuters, January 24, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
MADRID — The police in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta arrested four men on Saturday suspected of belonging to a militant Islamist network that may have been planning an attack in Spain, the Interior Ministry said.
Spain has stepped up security as well as efforts to prevent the radicalization of young Muslim citizens after attacks in Paris this month in which Islamist gunmen killed 17 people.
Confirming the arrests, Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz said, “They are two pairs of brothers, highly radicalized and highly trained.”
Mr. Díaz said there were “many parallels” with the two brothers who attacked the Paris office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo this month. He did not elaborate.
The newspaper El Mundo quoted Mr. Díaz as saying that the four detained brothers were of Moroccan origin but held Spanish citizenship. In searches carried out during the arrests, the police found combat gear and knives, he added.
Earlier, the Interior Ministry released a short statement saying that the police were investigating whether the four men had been planning an attack in Spain. The authorities in Ceuta, an autonomous Spanish city bordering Morocco, declined to comment.
People close to the investigation told the newspaper El País that the investigation had started two weeks ago when one of the four posted a video on his Facebook page showing him providing military training and urging others to wage jihad.

It’s about time The West started arresting these pigs BEFORE they blow people up.
We are all subjected to surveillance so we’d better have something in return.

@ Ross
“It’s about time The West started arresting these pigs BEFORE they blow people up.”
I respectfuly disagree, Ross. These pigs have a lot of pig-friends who will gladly kidnap any infidel anywhere in the world then ask any government to release their pig-friends or else…
This has happened before, it is happening now (see the previous post – the japanese hostage.)
Our laws need to change. After a fair trial, every convicted terrorist must be executed, and it has to done in the shortest delays.
Terrorists rights groups (i.e. human “rights” groups) need to SHUT UP.

Executing them is no deterrent as it only strengthens their hope of getting the 72 virgins.
fwyion jlock says
No, but it will reduce some of the risks of terror attacks!
Oliver says
I agree- execute them quickly- read a GOOD, NOT PC history book. The slime who tried to assassinate President Truman was tried in about 1 week; found guilty, and executed perhaps 2 weeks later. (Might be off by a day or so).
Not keeping these pieces of animal feces in prison for decades.
Oliver says
What will it take to wake people up?
However, ( at least) one of these four is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
The posting on Facebook, seems to be that he is either stupid, dumb or extremely vain.
cs says
They are the victims, it is all our fault…
It is only the tiny minority…
The contribution of Islam is great, we would be very racist/Islamophobic in going against the Islamization of Europe…
Why not sharia? Why not? It is good for us. It is a strong deterrent against crime (and against liberties…).
You know the rest.
Oliver says
cs
What contributions has Islam made-other then homicide bombs; IEDs; roadside bombings, etc.
I realize that your comments were meant to be sarc- but others might not).
Angemon says
What’s this supposed to mean? Do they have dual-citizenship or are they sons of immigrants and only have Spanish citizenship?

THERE WAS A SPANISH MOROCO AND IT BECAME PART OF THE OLD FRENCH MOROCO, SO SOME HAVE SPANISH PAPERS, MANY CAME OVER TO SPAIN
TH says
Some 1 million muslims live in Spain mostly from Morroco. In the days before the crisis when many Spaniads were not willing to do menaial jobs like picking grapes and harvesting olives, they got lots of them in from Morroco.
Ceuta and Melilla are two Spanish enclaves in Africa. They belonged to Spain even before the muslims took over Spain. Once the Spaniards kicked out the last of the muslims from Granada in 1492, they had the idea of clearing them from what is now Morroco and taking that territory, as it had been part of the Roman Empire, under the same administraton as Spain. However, the discoery of America and various wars in Europe, mainly against the French, who were also friends with the Turks and invited them to use Mareseillese as a port of their fleet, meant that they din’t have enough resources to take that part of Africa. Muslims were experts at piracy and they regularly attacked Spanish Mediterranean cities. This is the origin of the saying in Spainsh “moros en la costa” (Moors on the coast) referring to an imminent danger.

SPAIN HAD SPANISH MOROCO AND THEN IT BECAME PART OF THE OLD FRENCH MOROCO AND MANY WENT TO SPAIN TO LIVE

A message from Allah to Muslims. Stop this crap now.
Hey, after all, weren’t those cartoons were funny as hell?
Do you have any idea what it is like being trapped inside Muhammad’s evil twister brain as he roasts in hell? I hate that little shit Muhammad.
Man is it hot inside his satanic fire-roasted skull..
MKG says
The Western socialist puppeteers themselves are starting to feel threatened, and so, they are starting to take action. It is incumbent upon us to keep applying pressure on them to act. The french response was a prime example. The Spaniards are catching on, but the German government is still in denial meaning Angela Merkel still feels confident.
Oliver says
WHAT FRENCH RESPONSE? A parade that means nothing? then, when some people (don’t know the number) wanted AN ANTI-ISLAMIC PARADE, TH4E FROGS SAID NO.
Didn’t want to disturb the peaceful Muslims, i guess.
(The fearless Germans did the same, one was a day or so before the other),
