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

Spanish hairdresser converts to Islam, plots to bomb Jewish bookstore

Apr 12, 2015 8:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Antonio Saez MartinezHis new religion gave him whole groups of new people to hate — particularly those whom the Qur’an designates as “ the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers” (5:82) — the Jews.

“Being Muslim in a Christian world dominated by infidels… We will have to do something,” said the convert. “At the moment I am studying the Koran, and History and Arabic and Islamic thought. My mission is to become a good Muslim and do whatever it takes to reach the end.”

Yet by the account of Western analysts, he spectacularly misunderstood the religion to which he had dedicated himself so assiduously.

“Spanish Hairdresser Converts to Islam, Plots to Bomb Jewish Bookstore,” by Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage, April 12, 2015:

There’s a pattern here. Nothing to do with Islam though. Just lots of people converting to Islam and then going on unrelated killing sprees.

Take Antonio Sáez Martínez, a fun-loving Spanish haidresser [sic] who decided to try on something in a more homicidal hairstyle.

Antonio Sáez Martínez is the alleged mastermind of the jihadist cell that sought to attract young people to send them to fight for the Islamic State. After his conversion he called himself Ali and was married to a woman of Moroccan origin.

“For us Salafi jihadists, Western thought is a form of mental colonialism Islam, however, is ours and contains everything that humans need, including justification for their yearning for a better life […]. The jihad is a pressing need for survival and glory of the Ummah “.

“Being Muslim in a Christian world dominated by infidels… We will have to do something,” he said. “At the moment I am studying the Koran, and History and Arabic and Islamic thought. My mission is to become a good Muslim and do whatever it takes to reach the end.”

“I realized that this world where two lines delineate the battlefield have been absorbed by the global Jihad against Crusaders and Jews.”

Antonio Sáez wanted to commit an attack against a Jewish bookstore in the Catalan capital with a client neo-Nazi named Diego Frías….

Other potential targets allegedly included synagogues, commercial centers, police and security forces and the Catalan regional parliament.

Authorities seized a grenade, knives, shotguns, ammunition and chemicals that could be used for bomb-making during searches that followed 11 arrests Wednesday in the northeastern Catalonia region, Judge Santiago Pedraz said in a report. It was released after the seven appeared before him in closed-door court sessions.

Police investigations revealed that the suspected cell founder, Antonio Saez Martinez — dubbed “Ali the Hairdresser” — told other members he came close to launching an attack on a Jewish bookshop in Barcelona, Judge Pedraz wrote.

He allegedly proposed attacks with guns and grenades against synagogues, security forces and the Catalan regional parliament….

    Because in order to be a good Muslim one must kill in the name of Allah…if he says so

      Yes. Was the judge not interested to learn where this fanatic found the command to murder Jews in the Islamic texts?

      -Jews are pact breakers – K.5:13 and 2:27
      -Allah turned some Jews into apes (and pigs) (the inference being that some of today’s Jews are descendants of those people who were turned into apes and pigs: hence they referred to as ‘grandsons’ or ‘descendants’ ‘of apes and pigs’) – K.2:65, 5:60 and 7:166
      -Jews are murders of the prophets – K.3:181, 2:55
      -“Humiliation and wretchedness were stamped on the Jews and they were visited with Allah’s wrath.” -K.2:61
      -“Our attack upon Allah’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.'”- Tabari VII:97; Ishaq:368
      -“The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.'” – Tabari VII:97

      Are the Koran and hadiths ‘hate speech’? Does that seem like ‘hate speech’ to anyone but me?

        Not only is it hate speech, it is a call to commit genocide.

      That is what he is saying because it says so in the Koran. Muslims that think you can be a good Muslim without killing need to speak up!

    Well, with all the females wearing trash bags in moozie land, no need for hairdressers. Maybe he has some transferable skills to start doing FGM procedures. Wow, lots of changes in his life…

    He was a nice and funny barber, but turned into a killing monster after converting to Islam. But I don’t know what makes ordinary people convert to Islam. Low self-esteem and the idea to be able to change the world and submerge it.

    I wonder what can be their secret,. Each time another moron converts to Islam he becomes a “peace activist” and wants to murder.
    Perhaps because Islam is the Religion of Peace?

    How can this guy have got a Zibeeba on his forehead so quickly if he is only a recent convert to the religion of peace ? …… he has somehow managed to fast track the time tested tradition of concussing ones self by head banging pray 5 times a day in order to get this mark of the beast . Maybe he double dipped .

    O n the subject of hair , i have noticed that poor potus is getting greyer by the day, i have a theory that his greying dome is related to the amount of lies coming out of his mouth, i believe Grecian 2000 is not an option for Barry . I think using henna would make him look a bit of a dork and his muslims friends would extract the michael
