Spain breaks up Islamic State recruiting network targeting young Muslimas

Feb 24, 2015 4:42 pm By Robert Spencer

SPAIN-TERROR-JIHAD-POLICE-ARRESTHow is it that the Islamic State has propagandists among Muslims in Spain at all? How is it that this entity that has nothing to do with Islam continually proves itself to be so popular among…Muslims?

“Spain Breaks Up ISIS Recruitment Ring Targeting Young Women,” by Dan Kedmey, Time, February 24, 2015:

Spain has detained four propagandists for Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), including two suspects who allegedly targeted young women for recruitment campaigns.

Police arrested two suspects in the city of Melilla, a Spanish enclave along the northern coast of Morocco, and two other suspects in the cities of Barcelona and Girona, the New York Times reports.

The detainees in north Africa stand accused of running an online campaign “dedicated to the recruitment of women,” according to Spain’s interior ministry, and held viewing parties of ISIS propaganda at several residences.

The detainees on the Spanish mainland allegedly spread ISIS propaganda through social media. One detainee had accumulated more than 1,000 followers on Facebook, according to authorities.

    They need to be locked-up and the key thrown away. Once this virus gets in the mind, it never leaves. The laws on terrorism need to be ramped-up significantly in all western countries.

      Agree and disagree. A Devil’s Island should be set up to quarantine hard core jihadists and deprogram those who volunteer to be de-Islamized. There would be objective measures of deprogramming.

      A number of high-profile terrorists have been deprogrammed and are now dedicated and compassionate counterjihadists…so you are wrong on that point.

        Specifically name those who has been deprogrammed and are now counterjihadists.

        And a few is not enough.

        A few will change, just as idiots over here, who never even grew up Muslim, are going over to that side to fight.

        BUT…

        Since the world figures only 5 to 10% of Muslims are radical Islamists, and we’re having all this trouble, then the deprogramming rate better be upwards of 90 to 95%.

          ”Specifically name those who has been deprogrammed and are now counterjihadists.”

          OK.

          Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ali Sina, Nonie Darwish, Wafa Sultan, Hannah Shah, our own Mariam Rove and Saleem Smith, and lots of others who don’t necessarily write books, speak publicly etc.

          ”And a few is not enough.”

          I agree with you there, which is why sites like this exist, and why people like us need to argue with mohammedans and their apologists, whenever we get the chance.

      Keeping them in jail for many years costs a lot of money. What other solution can be found? Perhaps some kind of internment camp where there be a farm where they can produce and pay for their misdeeds, plus finance the camp, or some remote island.

    Islam is like ants. They are all over the “worlds picnic” The only way to get them now is to destroy the ant hill. There is no containing. these people anymore. When they are crying in their cup of camel piss we will have to remind them that they started it, we finished it.

    Are those followers being investigated? Seeing if they’re in Spain, seeing if there are any other ties to the islamic state, seeing if they’re potential jihadis, etc.?

    There are Muslims and there are Muslims. Some think that the real interpretation of the Koran and the literal life of Mohammad is the truth. The others have chosen to ignore the literal translation and get on with their lives. Both follow Islam, just one follows the rules and life of the real historical Mohammad, while the other is conflicted.

    Before 911 the literal believers occupied a space that didn’t affect the West and the Muslims living here. After 911 the western Muslims have become torn between the western life and the call of Islam in its purest form.

    IS are Muslim, they follow the book and nobody can call them unIslamic without attacking the book at its core. Separating the western Muslim from the literal Muslim is what the governments of the west are trying to achieve. Will they manage? That depends on the western Muslims and who they will finally throw their lot in with. Most at the moment just want to get on with life.

    We will never beat IS in Iraq or Raqqah with air strikes. We could beat them in Dabiq, where they want the fight and where they are weakest. Beat them there and their entire ideology falls apart.

      Rob, I agree that “there are Muslims and there are Muslims”.

      If we could beat them in Dabiq, I believe it would strike a good blow against them, but I don’t think their ideology would fall apart. Some might lose faith. But the die-hards would just say that the time isn’t right for them to win there yet, and keep right on keeping the faith until Allah wills them to win in all the right places..

      Feb 25, 2015 at 6:27 pm

      Darn! I wish this posting board had an “edit” button.

      Reading over my reply to Rob above, I’m afraid like my initial comment : “Rob, I agree that ‘there are Muslims and there are Muslims’” reads as if I mean the difference between those who would drop Islam if we won in Dabiq and those who would not. But I actually meant to agree with Rob’s first three paragraphs, and then go on to disagree with his fourth.

      Trouble is, these Muslimas eventually come slinking back with jihadi piglets in their bellies and demand that the Kaffirs feed, house, clothe and educate their maggots.

    They’ve already said that the entirety of Andalusia belongs to the Islamic caliphate. Their argument is that the were duded out of it by their expulsion in the 15th century. These guys must be the advance guard.

    La infiltración islámica en España es enorme, particularmente en Cataluña. El número de mezquitas en Madrid es también enorme y muchas de ellas son ilegales. No hay forma de controlar la emigración musulmana que entra ilegalmente por las fronteras de Ceuta y Melilla. Todos los Gobiernos, desde hace mas de 30 años, no han hecho mas que alentra y proteger el islam en España, financiando cientos de inicitivas tendentes a demostrar la superioridad del islam en todas las actividades culturales, comerciales y religiosas. Matematicamente se demuestra que con la tasa de natalidad actual, en unos pocos años, los musulmanes democraticamente se habrán hecho cargo del gobierno de España.

    The Islamic infiltration in Spain is huge, particularly in Catalonia. The number of mosques in Madrid is also huge and many of them are illegal. There is no way to control the Muslim emigration illegally entering the borders of Ceuta and Melilla. All governments, for over 30 years, have done nothing but alentra and protect Islam in Spain, funding hundreds of inicitivas designed to demonstrate the superiority of Islam in all cultural, commercial and religious activities. Mathematically it is found that the current birth rate, in a few years, Muslims will be made democratically by the government of Spain.
