“We have chosen the way of the jihad and we will continue to follow it.” Yet the Western media and political elites continue to insist that people like Nabil Benkaddour don’t know what the way of jihad is, and aren’t following it. They do not explain how this misunderstanding of jihad and Islam became so widespread; nor do they have any plan for countering it.
“Spanish Court to Try Moroccan Man for Glorifying Terrorism,” Latin American Herald Tribune, June 23, 2015:
MADRID – A Moroccan man, Nabil Benkaddour, who tried to reach Syria via Turkey to join jihad, will be tried by the Spanish High Court on Monday following his arrest in San Pedro del Pinatar in Southeastern Spain on Nov.19.
If found guilty, Benkaddour, who is also accused of glorifying jihadist terrorism on social media, could face up to two-years in prison.
The accused had posted on social media, a photo of his three-year-old son, holding a toy rifle along with images of various terrorist leaders with the message: “We have chosen the way of the jihad and we will continue to follow it.”
Benkaddour, who had booked himself into a hotel in Istanbul for around 10 days, was arrested after the Spanish Civil Guard found he had tried to travel to Syria via Turkey on Jan.10, 2014.
However, he was not allowed to board the flight by Turkish authorities as he did not have a return ticket needed to enter the country.
Investigators say since July 2013, Benkaddour had been active on online jihadist forums that disseminate videos of terrorist actions and facilitate indoctrination and recruitment.
He maintained different profiles on Facebook and Twitter, through which he posted photos, videos and comments encouraging terrorist activities, they added.

Westerners (especially our leaders) are unacquainted with the jihad doctrine of canonical Islam, and so THEY MAKE STUFF UP about Islam, the GUESS, they SURMISE, they PRESUME, they SUSPECT that, they BELIEVE IT IS OBVIOUS, they CONCLUDE, they SUPPOSE, etc.
They do not KNOW anything about jihad, because they have never read anything about the jihad doctrine.
Ed says
Or they simply don’t have the courage, political or otherwise, to deal with jihad.
mortimer says
It is a given that any Muslim who wears Arabic clothing from head to toe and who has a clipped jihad mustache with full beard is WELL ACQUAINTED with the jihad doctrine and believes it without doubt. He believes that Mohammed’s hideous, brutal atrocities, child marriage and other barbaric practices and absurdities in Islam are all justified by the fact that an irrational, amoral Allah commanded them.
In other words, a Muslim in full Muslim get-up is a fanatic similar to a ‘card-carrying communist’. Count on it.
Ed says
Enemy combatants need to be ‘tried’ and handled by the military.
How is a western, civilized society supposed to cope with the expense and burden of ‘trials’ for hundreds or thousands cases like this?
It is a war declared by the jihadists who are the combatants in asymmetrical warfare.
War is war. In official combat, things can be handled efficiently and effectively.
Jon says
WOW! A whole two years?
It would be a lot smarter & safer to let him go & not let him back.
What the heck is two years in prison going to accomplish.
That reminds me: Wasn’t one of the Charlie Hebdo / Paris shooters also imprisoned for two year & on a watch list just before his killing spree?
Charli Main says
Will this Muslim dog turd be deported back to Morocco by the Spanish police ????
Probably not—-it would violate his ” human rights”. He probably also has 4 wives and a tribe of kids, so his ” rights” to a family life must be protected at all costs.
ICH says
So if people like Obama and Hilalry have it all figured out
why not get on the horn to all the Islamic leaders of the
world and have a public powwow into how we are
all misinterpreting this.
Democrats in your country are reckless concerning this.
We wonder how Nazis got as far as they did?!
This exact same nonsense.
Dont let USA become like Rome.
Angemon says
And hopefully, a boat ticket to Morocco after his sentence is done…

“We have chosen the way of the jihad and we will continue to follow it.”
Here, recorded in a mosque in Bangladesh, is some help in understanding the way of the jihad.
“Here we teach jihad. Those, who have the correct knowledge of jihad, are best Muslims. We teach how to stab one with a knife, how to make bombs and grenades, how to operate pistols and guns and how to kill one by cutting his veins. Jihad is not possible without this knowledge. We teach holy terror, divine terror and terror for entering Allah’s paradise.” (p. 44)

The Spanish justice system is a joke – I should know: I’m Spanish and have the privilege of living in Al-Andalus 2.0.
Just to update you on the final outcome: the guy was found guilty of the charges and sentenced to a whole 7 months (just imagine – SEVEN months!!!) in jail. Problem is, as he had already been remanded in custody for that amount of time, he’ll now be able to walk free with not as much as a slap on the wrist and, what’s much worse, being entitled to compensation for any extra days over 7 months that he may have remained in jail.
If you think, understandably enough, that I’m trying to fool you, I promise I’m not kidding. This is an article (in Spanish) which tells about the sentence. Not surprisingly, this news hasn’t had much coverage in Spain:

Oh these glorious misunderstanders. I think it’s really funny when our Western media try to explain what real Islam is and violence has no part in it. This Benkaddour is following the path of true Islam. Just check the hate mongers in his mosque. Jihadism doesn’t drop down from the middle of nowhere it’s instigated in mosques. Ask any apostate such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, they’ll tell you this is true Islam
