Jihad Watch

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

One person shot in head, 2 police wounded at Copenhagen synagogue

Feb 14, 2015 7:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Denmark-shooting-4The jihad in Denmark has suddenly kicked into high gear, with the targets being exactly the same as they were in Paris. In Paris, they hit the Muhammad cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo and the Hyper Cacher synagogue: “blasphemers” and Jews, the worst enemies of the Muslims, as per the Qur’an. And earlier today in Copenhagen they hit an event featuring Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks, and now — the Jews.

“Shots fired at Copenhagen synagogue: Danish police,” Reuters, February 14, 2015:

(Reuters) – One person was shot in the head and two police were wounded in an attack on a synagogue in central Copenhagen, Danish police said, adding that it was too early to say whether the incident was connected to an earlier one at an arts cafe.

Danish television station TV2 said a large metro and train station nearby, Norreport, was being evacuated.

The news followed a shooting attack earlier Saturday on a cafe which hosted a debate on freedom of speech and was attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. One man died in that attack, and police said a suspect was still at large.

    Any possibility this was a “hate crime?”

      No, as the shooter(s) were apparently not white…

        Hello dear friends CES and PRCS —- Both of you are absolutely ON TARGET about what hit me today — and what I should have understood MONTHS OR YEARS AGO.

        ****** TERRORIST SLAUGHTERING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE HATE CRIMES / SUNNI ON SHIA KILLINGS ARE HATE CRIMES / MUSLIM MURDERS OF JEWS AND CHRISTIANS ARE HATE CRIMES ******

        As I wrote in an earlier comment today, Muhammad’s life after relocation to Medina ( the Hijra ) led to the first prolonged hate crime rampage — in Islam. Since then, Muslims have been undefeated champions, taking the lives of their fellow humans because of extreme “religious” animosity. I’d agree to retire the trophy — no other “belief system” has a chance of catching up.

        HELP US HERE AT JIHADWATCH GET THAT MESSAGE OUT TO EVERYONE WE CAN . . .Especially our elected representatives. Very simple message : terrorist acts are essentially hate crimes. Reverse the privilege guilt mirror : turn it back to show actual perpetrators.

          Feb 14, 2015 at 9:35 pm

          For those of us here who are short of time — an effective way to have ONE email message get on to every STATE senator or representative is to send it to the political party CHAIRMAN of your state.

          If you are a Repub, take the effort to contact a Dem party chairman. Mention the obvious fact that this extends BEYOND POLITICS to the very survival of our country. Same advice goes for Dems (like me) : write to Repubs.

          Also, as I have noted before, if you are nervous about leaving an “email trail” go to a fax sender like Kinko’s, paying CASH for your card : completely untraceable.

          Write a fax in glorious bold chisel point marker, quoting my remarks above (if you think they are lucid). Direct the recipient to http://www.jihadwatch.org, and Robert Spencer’s credentials in the top-bar homepage bio.

          @ jihad3tracker

          You’re exactly right. Another word which is descriptive, but never applied, is “oppression”. We hear about some jerk screaming oppression because she can’t dress like Darth Vader during her citizenship oath, yet blasting people out of existence for just talking about drawing is not? This is… prejudice; another word which can never be used to describe injustice directed at Westerners.

          Here’s one that will really blow your mind: Obama’s characterization of the Hyper Casher shootings as “random” is… wait for it… racist. Unlike Muslims, Jews are a race, and the operative factor in Obama’s refusal to acknowledge the reality of the killings was based on their being Jewish.

      Justin, what the heck is wrong with you. We are talking about world terrorism and you want to talk about a brave gay priest. According to God he is not brave, he is an abomination before the Lord.

      Get your head together Justin, if you want to spread than filth do it on an open site or a gay site,

      Get lost.

      “You’re exactly right. Another word which is descriptive, but never applied, is “oppression”.

      Man, I loved this, very inspiring.

      Look, honestly, it is just too much hypocrisy, I am getting real sick by the day.

      3 things I want to point out.

      A – Muslims complain is not fair with them, because no-one can do holocaust deny anyone otherwise he/she can go to jail, also they cannot be anti-semitic. POOR GUYS, THEY WANT THEIR FREEDOM TO BE ASSHOLES.

      B – They want “freedom and justice”, but that means, freedom from human rights, and justice of the Sharia, meaning they perverted the use of these two words, by playing with expression.

      C – Hijab and Niqab should be completely banned in the West, women who use it is stating that women who does not use are free game for sexual harassment and rape. Not kidding here. Or we confront this or else, we screwed.

      Or maybe really nasty, militant Quakers?

    • Neil Jennison says

      Feb 14, 2015 at 8:42 pm

      Oh yes…..you get a complete cross section of society in a Synagogue…..just like you do in a Kosher supermarket…you must be total racist to suggest that these places are targeted because of their Jewish connections.

      The great Religion of Peace would never consider that………

  4. John Cox says

    Feb 14, 2015 at 8:09 pm

    This will become more and more common as the Muslims flex their muscles in countries that have foolishly given them refuge. They will not integrate, they do not like unbelievers, and are only in the west for the welfare they receive and to eventually take over their host country. Absolute madness…

      I couldn’t agree more with your comments. But, of course there are those who will spin this into their conspiracy theories, suggesting that the Mossad or Zionists are behind it all, like they did about the Paris attacks..

      • Georg says

        Feb 14, 2015 at 10:58 pm

        Right. I saw them simultaneously blame Zionists and cheer the attack.. not exactly witty.

          Feb 14, 2015 at 11:42 pm

          If yo apply the reasoning of the fake Christian POTUS, concerning Jihaddi terrorist attacks, then the holocaust was merely a coincidental series of work place incidents on the Jews way to German labour camps.

        • Jerry says

          Feb 14, 2015 at 11:46 pm

          For what Hamas says read Article Seven of the “Hamas Covenant”,
          to which the fake Christian POTUS seems to say: “Yes, we can”.

  5. Angemon says

    Feb 14, 2015 at 8:18 pm

    Danish police said, adding that it was too early to say whether the incident was connected to an earlier one at an arts cafe.

    They didn’t catch the guys who attacked the cafe, did they? IMO, it’s the same guys – they didn’t kill any of the “blasphemers” so they went and vent their rage against Jews.

  6. tom says

    Feb 14, 2015 at 8:26 pm

    What do you expect when you allow Muslims into a country. Denmark was once peaceful like Sweden, not anymore.

    Oh by the way the Danish Police are hopeless, in the first attack the attacker kills a guy and wounds two cops and the guy gets away. In the second attack the guy kills a guy and two cops are wounded and again the piece of rubbish gets away.

    Now if these guys were American instead of wimpy Danes, this guy would be dead.

    The Europeans are such wimps these days, across the board, wimpy leaders, wimpy civilians and wimpy police. This is what an excessive liberal PC culture leads to.

    Sadly, today’s events in Denmark won’t dent the idiotic mantra of the West’s current elites that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and it’s just been hijacked by a few extremists here and there. Why just tonight I heard a reporter from Copenhagen mention numerous times in his two minute segment that the vast majority of Muslims in Denmark are peaceful. Yes, the insanity continues. Islam still gets a pass though the evidence is massive that it shouldn’t.

    God, how I detest Islam. God, how I detest today’s Western elites. Both are sickening.

    In Copenhagen, Jihadists attack Infidels and take time out to specifically target Jews. In Paris, Jihadists attack Infidels and take time out to specifically target Jews. In Mumbai, Jihadists attack Infidels and take time out to specifically target Jews.

    I’m sensing a pattern here…

        • Western Canadian says

          Feb 15, 2015 at 2:23 am

          The murder of infidels is the work of devout muslims, so no matter where it happens, it is workplace violence.

    Feb 14, 2015 at 11:03 pm

    That’s what Africa has been dealing with since the 7th century. And the average westerner thinks Africa is poor/war torn because we are dumb. Now there you go, deal with it.

  14. Mubarak says

    Feb 14, 2015 at 11:53 pm

    That not all muslims are terrorists shouldn’t obscure the fact that Islam is conducive to violence, that it’s tradition has a propensity for violence. It is all founded in the simple fact that Muhammad the bandit had a sword, that he used it, and that he encouraged his followers to use their swords.
    When this antecedent meets faith, fanaticism and resentment, it is a terrorist in the making.
    Islam is a poisonous snake that strikes, when it is warmed up!

  16. Holy Prophet APF says

    Feb 15, 2015 at 12:18 am

    These are incremental attacks, small murder operations, designed by the Holy Prophet Himself to keep the pressure on. That’s how terror works. There can be no question about that.

    The question to ask is, what will the response be after the next big one, the next 9/11? There is one in the works, the pattern tells us that. The pattern also indicates that after the next big one, the response will be as limp and as defeatist as last time, when the sniveling RINO Prez Dubya jumped on the TV to proclaim Islam to be a religion of peace.

    After all if you ban all criticism of Muslims then they won’t kill us will they??.
    If you give up your rights and freedoms for security you will end up like every other regime in history very few will be killed by terrorists but millions killed by the state repression.

    Meanwhile in Australia………the deception continues by playing the victim!

    Grand Mufti legitimises a dangerous anger
    Andrew Bolt February 14 2015 (9:18am)
    Australia’s Grand Mufti has again made his faith a legitimate source of suspicion with a disgraceful warning – that we[must] abandon Israel and stop fighting Islamist terrorists abroad, or else.

    He even portrays the extremist Hizb ut-Tahrir as the victim of a cynical Abbott Government plot to switch attention from its internal woes.

    The Grand Mufti’s warning will to many people sound far too close to a threat and a legitimising of extremists, even though I fully accept that this is not his intention and that he has in fact condemned terrorism:

    The Federal Government should drop its plans to ban the radical group Hizb ut-Tahrir, according to the spiritual leader of Muslims in Australia.

    The Grand Mufti has also slammed Australia’s involvement in Syria and support for Israel saying it will lead to more young Muslims joining Islamic State…

    Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed … believes the ban is a cynical move to deflect attention away from the Government’s other problems.

    “It’s not right on the politicians side to shift, to create an atmosphere of controversy when they are facing issues within their own party or the government… ‘I don’t like you, just close your mouth’, so this is the reason we think is behind it, it’s a politician in trouble, wants to switch the light this way,” Dr Ibrahim said…

    The Grand Mufti says Australia’s involvement in Middle East conflicts is already driving young Muslims here to join Islamic State.

    “The West is turning a blind eye to the just cause and the suffering of lots of people living in the Middle East and they are blindly supporting Israel and their reaction to this? They go and join DAESH!” Dr Ibrahim said.

    Dr Ibrahim made it clear he does NOT condone Islamic State. “We don’t agree that any person, young or old, should consider joining fundamentalist terrorist groups,” Dr Ibrahim said.

    The claim that we are “turning a blind eye to the just cause and the suffering of lots of people living in the Middle East” is completely false and dangerously inflammatory, echoing the rhetoric of extremists. Check our aid, refugee programs, peace-keeping efforts and diplomacy to end conflicts.

    The claim that we are “blindly supporting Israel” is also false and inflammatory. The Grand Mufti also evades the fact that our conditional support of Israel is based largely on the grounds that it is fighting for its survival against extremists pledged to its destruction. Where does he stand on that issue? What is his own agenda?

    The claim that the West is driving young Muslims here to join the Islamic State tends to legitimise the rage of such terrorists. The Mufti also avoids the role Islam plays in suggesting that killing unbelievers is a legitimate way to demonstrate your faith. Nor can he explain why the West should be blamed for young Australian Muslims joining a terrorist group whose main business right now is killing other Muslims deemed insufficiently devout, as well as Christians in Iraq.

    The Mufti’s comments paint a picture of a West so mean to Muslims that it’s no wonder young Muslims here turn to some of the most violent terrorism we have seen. This toxic message comes with an implicit warning: to submit to the demands of the extremists or risk death.

    I suspect few Islamist groups would have much quarrel with what this Mufti has just said. But many Jews, Christians, Kurds, Yazidis, non-Muslim Australians, democrats and Westerners – even some Shiite Muslims – would. That says plenty.

    The Muslim community of Australia badly needs another leader. Again. Either that, or we must accept that the Grand Mufti really does represent mainstream Muslim views, and adjust our defences accordingly.
