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

Jerusalem: Muslim who rammed car into Jews says “I sought to kill Jews”

Apr 21, 2015 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Khaleed KutinaYou will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” — Qur’an 5:82

Generally in the real world that verse and other antisemitic verses in the Qur’an have the effect of making the most intense of the people in animosity toward the Jews to be the Muslims.

“‘I sought to kill Jews,’ said terrorist who rammed car into Israelis at Jerusalem bus stop,” Jerusalem Post, April 21, 2015:

The east Jerusalem Palestinian who rammed his car into Israelis waiting at a bus stop in the French Hill section of the capital last week told police that he was intent on “seeking out Jews to murder,” authorities permitted the press to report on Tuesday.

Khaled Koutineh, 37, from Anata, was arrested for running over and killing Shalom Yohai Cherki, 25, and seriously injuring a young woman.

In the initial days after the incident, police said they had not yet determined whether Koutineh hit the bus stop by accident or if it was a racially-motivated attack, saying the incident required further investigation.

“It is possible and there is a very strong basis to now say that this was a terror attack,” Danino said on Saturday, calling it one of several “devastating” terrorist attacks to strike the capital over the past few months.

“As part of a joint investigation handled by the Jerusalem police and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), Khaled Koutineh confessed to carrying out the vehicular terror attack last Wednesday, the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day,” the authorities said in a statement.

“Koutineh confessed to carrying out the attack with the intention of harming Jews, a decision he made just moments before the actual deed,” the statement read.

The authorities said that Koutineh was driving along Route 1, searching for Jews on the side of the road to run over. Eventually, he came upon a junction in French Hill and targeted the bus stop.

Koutineh initially told interrogators that he had suffered from mental imbalances, though authorities said he admitted to concocting the alibi in hopes of evading a stiff penalty.

      I am just waiting for a world wide auto jihad to ordered and then carried out by muslim taxi drivers .
      In my city alone there are hundreds of them .. In one day it would create chaos .
      And these guys are crazy enough to do it .
      All part of the global confrontation that is looming with Islam .

      Utube : “Clare Lopez talks with Q society in Sydney 2014” for some insight and to follow the Islamic time- line for these forth coming events…. it is an eye opener !!!!

    “[S]ingle out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. … If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car, or business.”

    “Koutineh initially told interrogators that he had suffered from mental imbalances”

    Is Islam a form of ‘mental imbalance’? A psychologist should look into it.

    Muslims are easily intoxicated with the fanatical hatred that Allah demands.

      Islam, the religion of choice for psychopathic males and stupid females.

        It amazes me how this wretched cult religion can get these people to do this…but I guess a Muslim immersed in this culture of death from birth is hard for us in the West to understand. There is only Muhammad’s unwitnessed word that his revelations came from his allah god to fight and kill unbelievers and 1400 years later, these mindless fools think they are killing for their allah god and I suppose they think they will get paradise for doing so. It is truly difficult to comprehend this death loving mindset and culture. Islam is a threat to all mankind and really needs to be eliminated as the cancer that it is…but you have over a billion people locked in Muhammad’s lie…or Satan’s control. Eve more hard to understand is the liberal left making excuses for this religion of death.

    ‘Authorities permitted the press’, means that authorities ‘are’ the press. Sounds a lot like home…

      Yeah, the authorities don’t wan’t to agitate them. But, the question is, are they not *always* agitated; what could satisfy them? A fifth column in any country makes it inherently incompatible with free speech, and freedom in general. Israel can tiptoe that line only so long.

      This latest auto-Jihad recalls Seattle, where a mujahidin in his Escalade mowed down Jews outside a temple. We also saw auto-Jihad on the commons in Chapel Hill, and more recently in France. Any tool for the job.

    Nothing to do with Islam.

    Do they ever say why their Jew hatred is so vehement? I do not recall seeing anything anywhere that gives a reason, other than those that come from emotionalism and some obvious jealousy.

    Nothing much has changed.

    Muslims have been killing Jews and Christians for the last fourteen
    hundred years, merely because they were not Muslims.

    Ban the Qur’an and Hadith and close all mosques, at least until
    Islam renounces its genocidal agenda against all non-Muslims
    and Jews, Christians and Hindus are alowed to build, open and
    operate synagogues, churches and ashrams in all Muslim cities
    including Mecca and Medina.

    • Solange says

      Apr 22, 2015 at 9:20 pm

      I suppose I know that, only it is just so hard to think of such hatred against another for such flimsy reasons, hard to wrap one’s brain around. It occurred to me that another reason would be so that Muhammad’s followers would have the incentive they needed to kill and conquer for him, which was really all he was interested in, conquest.

    • TruthWFree says

      Apr 22, 2015 at 10:16 pm

      That (churches in Mecca) would require the complete elimination of Islam. The best thing that could happen would be all the oil in the Mid East be eliminated. Then they could go back to their camels and goats.
