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

Germany: Jihad bomb plot thwarted; plotter had urged mosque attendance

May 10, 2015 1:58 pm By Robert Spencer

German Police Conduct Anti-Terrorism Raid“His son had urged him to go more often to the mosque.” One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam.

“Germany: thwarted attack in Hessen, bomb filled with nails,” ANSA, May 9, 2015 (thanks to Thomas):

(ANSA) – BERLIN – The bomb experts of the German police found in an Islamic couple’s flat – both were arrested in late April in Oberursel, near Frankfurt – was filled with nails. The news is reported by the German weekly ”Der Spiegel”, underlining that the bomb would have killed many people, if it had been detonated even at some distance from where it exploded. The arrested couple – a Turkish-German man, 35 yo, and his Turkish wife, 34 yo, parents of two children aged 2 and 4 – allegedly planned to explode the bomb along the bike route of a cycling race for professionals and amateurs scheduled for May 1. For security reasons, despite the arrests, the local authorities had imposed the cancellation of the race: it was still unclear whether some accomplices would be ready to strike again. In the flat seized by police, in addition to the bomb, parts of an assault rifle, ammunition, chemical agents and 24,000 euro were found. The arrested man’s father, interviewed by Der Spiegel, has reacted with ‘incredulity’: according to him, his son had urged him to go more often to the mosque, but he did not have any warning sign. ”He has a happy family, happy children, he used to attend the mosque. Why should he put his family’s happiness at risk?”, the man said. (ANSA).

    The Islamic Jihadiots must learn that if they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind… possibly even a whirlwind of drawings of the vile “Prophet” Muhammad.

      With all the supposed claims by Muslims that they are victims of Islamophobia, one would infer that THEY would be the ones who have to cancel Muslim themed events due to numerous threats by right wing extremists.

    “Spiegel, has reacted with ‘incredulity’: according to him, his son had urged him to go more often to the mosque, but he did not have any warning sign.”

    No warning sign? Isn’t hanging out in a mosque warning enough?

    WOW, can’t draw cartoons or ride a bike… what’s next? Stop binging non-Muslim? I want to know how killing bike riders and cartoonist is call a Religion? How chanting five times a day to a meteorite in Mecca is called a Religion? How raping a 9 year old girl (like Mohammed did) is called a Religion? How walking around a meteorite in Mecca to forgive your sins is called a Religion? How killing people that leave Islam is called a Religion? How can a holy book that hates everybody is called a Religion?

    They never seem to attack near their mosques.
    It appears that they don’t want to identify the source of their inspiration.

      To me- that is almost (part) of the problem.

      In my view, what they (Muslims) SHOULD DO is plant the bombs INSIDE THE MOSQUES, and kill fellow Muslims or Muslims of the other side. (E: Sunni/shit, etc).

      leave the humans alone.

      I mentioned in another post ( somewhere in JW) that I read somewhere that there are some 73 sects and sub sects of Islam and 72 are ( for want of a better term) phony.

      AND THAT THE 73 ARE TO FIGHT AMONGST THEMSELVES UNTIL ONLY THE TRUE SECT REMAINS.

      I wish that they would do so, and leave the rest of us alone.

        I think the Mosques should be watched for people come and go to pray 5 times a day.

        ISLAM: Where Is?

        “The American Mosque 2011″ survey Ihsan Bagby of the University of Kentucky Bagby identified 2,106 U.S. mosques, up from 1,209 in 2000 and 962 in 1994

        The biggest mosque totals are in these metropolitan areas:
        New York City (192),
        southern California (120),
        Chicago (90),
        Philadelphia (63),
        Detroit (62),
        San Francisco Bay (62),
        Atlanta (55),
        northern New Jersey (53),
        Houston (42),
        and Dallas-Fort Worth (39).

        States with the most mosques are: New York (257),
        California (246),
        Texas (166),
        Florida (118),
        Illinois (109),
        New Jersey (109),
        Pennsylvania (99),
        Michigan (77),
        Georgia (69),
        and Virginia (62).

        Bagby reports that U.S. Islam is largely an immigrant faith, with 33 percent of adherents from south Asia, 27 percent from Arab countries, 9 percent from Africa, and 7 percent from other lands.

    Islamic News Headlines: Unending Islamic Peace comes to Europe through immigration and adherence to the Sunnah. Muslim’s house filled with nails raided; depriving poor carpenters of their trade. Kuffir cyclists saved from joint injuries and exhaustion by respectful Muslims. German authorities disrupt the distrbution of chemistry texts that improve the employability of Jihadists.

    Dad says, “..Why should he put his family’s happiness at risk?” Read one of Robert Spencer’s books and you’ll have the answer. It’s in the ideology.

    The leaders are responsible. No matter which nation – the leaders are responsible. The tree (Koran) is known by its fruit. How many more years before the (so-called, and in many cases, – self-appointed) leaders actually get the meaning of that very simple statement?

    How many more attempts and actual attacks will it take? (before the people start holding the leaders legally responsible? – and include the media too? because they just as responsible, if not, – more).

    The animals won and they always win because they cancel events. Let the people who go to these events decide if they want to risk going or not. Think about it all soccer,football,baseball ,concerts and many other public events are natural targets. It would seem to me that if a bomb went off at a baseball game and lots of people got hurt or killed that the mosque that was connected with should immediately be closed. Each mosque is a fiefdom of its own.

      If (and when) applying the United States Constitution – all mosques are illegal.

      The only thing missing – are the lawyers and judges to see to it.

      To further drive home this point…

      Koran (chapter and verse given for proof)

      047.004 – Beheadings

      033.052 – Gang Rape of female ‘infidels’

      005.033 – Crucifixions

      008.067 – Treason

      033.061 – Genocide “without mercy”

      005.041 – Racism….

      005.041 O Messenger! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: whether it be among those who say “We believe” with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie [[This is Racism! – It is hate speech]]

      Every single one of those teachings are illegal, – not only in America – but Internationally also.

      The only thing that is missing – are men (and women) who will apply the laws that already exist.

      No mosque should be legal – ever. Simply because of the teachings of their Koran. Period.

      I dare anyone who deceptively accuses Christianity of being the same way – to post ALL of the Scriptures from the New Testament that preach the same evil. And here is the good thing for those who try…

      There are thousands of more sentences to choose from – than their Koran has to offer. That should make the goal their objective much easier – right? This is a challenge that they will (and can) never accept – something for the men (and women) who care about righteous laws to consider very carefully!

      • Westman says

        May 10, 2015 at 6:03 pm

        Genocide and barbarity are certainly in Islam.

        There was this fellow in the 1930’s that had similar ideas to Fundamental Islam and wrote that he admired it. This should seem familiar: “My pedagogy is hard. What is weak must be hammered away. ……a young generation will grow up before which the world will tremble. I want the young to be violent, domineering, undismayed, cruel. The young must be all these things. They must be able to bear pain. There must be nothing weak or gentle about them. The …. splendid beast of prey must once again flash from their eyes…”.

        Guess who?

      • Wellington says

        May 10, 2015 at 7:16 pm

        No, Beth, you are wrong. Quite wrong. Totally wrong.

        Under the Constitution, Islam as a religion is completely protected by said document (so is a malevolent religon like Satanism). What is not protected under the Constitution are certain actions that might need to be performed when engaged in as a believer on behalf of a certain religion. For instance, if you are an American Indian and your native belief, your native religion, requires certain drugs (which are banned) to be taken to enhance your religious experience, sorry, but you can’t do that. As another example, if you’re a Satanist, complete loser though you be because you are, and your religion requires a human sacrifice once a year, sorry, you can’t do that. And, by extension, if you’re a Muslim, and your faith allows you to kill your daughter because she has dishonored her family and Islam because she won’t wear an hijab, or because she is dating a non-Muslim man, etc., sorry, you can’t do that.

        In other words, Beth, belief is completely protected by the Constitution but certain actions which might occur when performed to implement certain beliefs are not. The key here for constitutional purposes is belief v. action.

        I do wish people like yourself, though understanding how iniquitous Islam really is, would educate themselves to a greater extent about American law because knowing EXACTLY how to deal with Islam in America is an imperative. No mistakes can be allowed. A huge mistake is assuming that Islam should be banned under the Constitution. It can’t be banned anymore than Nazism or Marxism could be or ever were, even though Nazism and Marxism would destroy the American Constitution as much as Islam would if they had had the complete opportunity to do so.

        Learn Beth. And I write this as the attorney that I am, as one who despises the Islamic faith, and as one who cherishes the Constitution.

        When dealing with the horrible religion which the Islamic faith is, there can be no mistakes. The greatest mistake so far is not any attempt to ban Islam in America, mistake though this is, but rather the continued refusal to see Islam in the negative, as someting inimical to freedom of speech, freedom of religion and equality under the law. Should Islam finally be put in the same category as Nazism and Marxism, where it so deserves to be, the rest will take care of itself. Till then, America and all the West is in dire trouble precisely to the extent that Islam is still seen as something good.

          Enforcing the law would be a good start. The “honor” killings and terrorism should be handled just as the Brits handled Sati, the burning of Indian Widows on their husband’s funeral pyre.

          Their approach: “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

          Punishing each criminal action is not going to do anything to help America. There will always be new “believers” to continue doing it.
          What the US has to do is proclaim Islam to be a cult or a criminal organisation of some sort. Then start educating our children from primary school about the dangers of Islam just like they would about dangers of drugs. Once we stop excusing Islam and start to be honest about it we have a chance of at least slowing down the growth of it if not stopping it altogether. What do we expect when we keep braiwashing our children that Islam is safe and anyone who disagrees with that is a racist?
          It’s as dangerous as saying that drugs are harmless and a lot of fun if taken in moderation.

    1) The present pattern of narrowly averted mass murder plots by Moslem activists can go for only so long, sooner or later they are bound to succeed. Intelligence and police can only be so good.

    2) Funding is required to have intelligence and police agencies monitor Moslems to avert activist mass murder plots, and the costs are growing and Moslem fervor grows. Moslems residing in Dar al-Harb (Land of War) countries like Americn, Germany, the UK, Canada, Oz, France, etc. should pay a special tax to help defer these costs.

      Farmer,

      I don’t think it’s doable as a government function without totally bogging down in bureaucracy and waste. Taking the people’s money to create permanent positions of comfortable living will not provide any incentive for real security anymore than it did for the Iraq Army.

      Unlike Iraq there is no necessity to win hearts and minds; they can be enlisted voluntarily at no cost. The only additional costs would be for reporting centers that would operate much like incoming call centers with far less personnel; which likely already exist.

      Of course, this is just daydreaming. It’s unlikely that the government would approve of such a system, fearing a liberal backlash.

      I do think that such observation and reporting will arise spontaneously within the citizenry of all free western countries when they are exhausted in their patience with terrorism. It’s just a matter of time before apathy is overcome by serious concern.

    It appears the 71 members of the islamic state have struck again in the U.S. This time they stole 4 baby goats and a Kangaroo from a zoo.

    #Bringbackourgoats!

    Only allah knows what is going to be done with the Kangaroo, I imagine it will similar to a certain scene in the movie Pulp Fiction involving Zed and the Gimp.

    Happy Mother’s day
    The following song by Merle Haggard is about accountability and going down the wrong path despite “Sunday learning” were Islam is all about lack of accountability encouraged by Islamic teachings.

    The first thing I remember knowing
    Was a lonesome whistle blowing
    And a young’un’s dream of growing up to ride
    On a freight train leaving town
    Not knowing where I’m bound
    And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

    One and only rebel child
    From a family meek and mild
    My mama seemed to know what lay in store
    Despite all my Sunday learning
    Towards the bad I kept on turning
    Till Mama couldn’t hold me anymore

    And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
    No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
    Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
    That leaves only me to blame ’cause Mama tried

    Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
    Left my mom a heavy load
    She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
    Working hours without rest
    Wanted me to have the best
    She tried to raise me right but I refused

    And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
    No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
    Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
    That leaves only me to blame ’cause Mama tried

    What is evil will always remain evil. A Muslim in the west will always remain a Muslim just like a snake that sheds off its skin will forever remain a venomous snake. Never trust a Muslim in any form or manifestation. African traditional religion in its crudest form is far safer and tolerable than Islam.
