Tunisia: Police find weapons in 40 mosques

Jul 9, 2015 6:30 am By Robert Spencer

mosque-prayerApparently mosque leaders didn’t think it incompatible with the teachings of their religion to store weapons in a mosque in not one, not two, not five, not ten, but forty mosques in Tunisia. If weapons had been found in forty churches, it would be international news. This, however, will pass by without notice from those who will continue to claim that the problem is “extremism” that can crop up in any religious tradition.

“Tunisia attack: Only one weapon was ‘used to kill the terror attack victims’ – as it happened July 1,” by Raziye Akkoc, Jessica Winch and Grace Collins, Telegraph, July 1, 2015:

…Speaking on local radio, the head of Tunisia’s association of imams has said that police searches had uncovered weapons in 40 mosques around the country last year, James Badock in Sousse reports.

Fadhel Achour, secretary general of the mosque cadres and agents’ union, told Mosaïque FM that of 190 mosques closed since the 2011 revolution, 90 had accepted government control and registered their activities.

Of the remaining 100, Mr Achour said that the imams of 80 mosques preached a radical and violent discourse. These 80 are the mosques that the government said it would move to close down in the immediate aftermath of Friday’s terrorist attack in Sousse….

    Shut those mosques down. Any mosque in the West preaching hate of the western values should be shut-down, seized and sold, the proceeds of which go to the anti-Islamic-terror effort.

      Exactly.
      If you use you house to produce drugs they seize it. I you use your car to transport drugs, they seize it.

      Seizing these mosques is a no-brainer.

        Shut/sell all of them, give the weapons found to the police, ban/burn the koran and all hate material.

      “between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone” is the “excellent pattern” praised in Koran 60:4 (part of Islamic law).
      All mosques preach that: it is part of Islamic doctrine.

      Most mosques in America have literature that teaches violence against the kafirs.

      study-shows-majority-of-us-mosques-repositories-of-sharia-jihad-muslim-brotherhood-literature-and-pr

      A random survey of 100 representative mosques in the U.S. was conducted to measure the correlation between Sharia adherence and dogma calling for violence against non-believers. Of the 100 mosques surveyed, 51% had texts on site rated as severely advocating violence; 30% had texts rated as moderately advocating violence; and 19% had no violent texts at all. Mosques that presented as Sharia adherent were more likely to feature violence-positive texts on site than were their non-Sharia-adherent counterparts. In 84.5% of the mosques, the imam recommended studying violence-positive texts. The leadership at Sharia-adherent mosques was more likely to recommend that a worshipper study violence-positive texts than leadership at non-Sharia-adherent mosques. Fifty-eight percent of the mosques invited guest imams known to promote violent jihad. The leadership of mosques that featured violence-positive literature was more likely to invite guest imams who were known to promote violent jihad than was the leadership of mosques that did not feature violence-positive literature on mosque premises. – See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2011/12/study-shows-majority-of-us-mosques-repositories-of-sharia-jihad-muslim-brotherhood-literature-and-pr.html/#sthash.XsN97gwb.dpuf

      Mosques are the designated refuge for Mujahideen, Jihadist, so finding weapons
      in a Mosque should be no surprise. FIRST place to look for weapons.

      Now I am really surprised, how the RELIGION OF PEACE, could do such a thing?
      I have been in quite a few Synagogues, but was never presented to a Uzi or something like that, though these people pick on Jews, it is difficult to understand what is up.

    Wasn’t the first mosque where Mohammed stored his weapons?

    • Michael Copeland says

      “Every single mosque in the world, by definition, is modeled on the mosque of Muhammad in Medina …… it was a storage place for arms, a military training base, and was where troops were blessed and dispatched.”

        You had posted a link several weeks ago concerning “radical Islam” (radix, root) but I have misplaced the link.

        Would you repost that, please.

      of course mosques are used for stock piling weapons! Because muhammed pbuh* was a demon possessed mass murderer thief liar misogynist and pedophile pervert and allah is SATAN in disguise! and faithful muslims parrot his ways!!!!!

    The weapons at the mosques were put there by Jews. And other kuffar. Nothing to do with Islam.

    Of the remaining 100, Mr Achour said that the imams of 80 mosques preached a radical and violent discourse. These 80 are the mosques that the government said it would move to close down in the immediate aftermath of Friday’s terrorist attack in Sousse….

    What happens to the imams and mosque goers? Do they become model law-abiding citizens loyal to the state?

      What happens to the imams and mosque goers? Do they become model law-abiding citizens loyal to the state?

      But, if they become that, then by law they must have weapons on hand and at the ready to pursue Jihad as commanded by Allah in the Holy Ko-Ran. Being a devout Moslem in a country dependent on Infidel tourism ain’t easy. It’s best to keep the tourists and keep the weapons, but not mix the two. If I were the Imam I’d have my flock hop in a boat and sail on up to Italy at night, sneak in the weapons, and slaughter some Infidels there. That way the tourist cashflow proceeds unimpeded, and the Holy Ko-Ran proceeds unimpeded. Better for everybody.

    Mosques are multi purpose buildings…Weapons storage is just one of the uses. Out of the 3000 or so mosques in the US, how many of them are storing weapons? No one knows, because no one asks, no one looks, and few care.

    Guns in mosques? This does not mean anything. See this text for proof – don’t stereotype here… http://markhumphrys.com/Bitmaps/onion.5.jpg

    If weapons had been found in forty churches, it would be international news.

    It would also be good sound sense, considering what happens to churches in places like Nigeria.

    Tolerance = live and let live; Tunisian tourism & Moslemism can get along.

    Personally, as a big time fan of Moslemism, I demand to know why the other mosques did NOT have a weapons cache. Looked at from the perspective of Moslem proficiency, the empty mosques either had secreted away the weapons before the apostate authorities showed up to check (good) or never had any weapons in the first place (bad). C’mon, mosques have served as armories and military operation centers for centuries. The Holy Prophet himself had plenty of weapons stashed in his tent-mosque back in the day; when he was diddling his 6-year old wife or one of his other wives, he was polishing his swords, spears and knives to keep prepared for the next attack in the game plan.

    Hey, that’s why the have minarets, they’re called lookout posts.

    One of the world’s great religions; one of the three Abrahamic faiths. Celebrate Islam for what it is, now kowtowing to the tourism industry. Cut a deal where the mosques are restocked with plenty of guns and ammo, maybe even some C4, but with the strict understanding that the faithful are to lay off the tourists on the beach. This just ain’t that complicated. Can’t we all just get along?

    For a Religion of Peace(TM) Muslims sure love their weapons and storing them in mosques…..

  11. citycat says

    Jul 10, 2015 at 12:02 am

    I think the “peace” in the religion of peace refers to sexual peace for the misogynists who can’t handle the “goading”
    Hence the killing raping and pillage.

    Weapons in mosques? Now doesn’t THAT beat all! Who’d’ve guessed?

  13. Horseman says

    Jul 10, 2015 at 6:10 am

    “Peace” is actually “piece”, as in, “I’m going to go get my piece (weapon).”

    • Nan says

      Oct 3, 2015 at 6:14 pm

      Alternate is pieces because they like blowing people up.

    ROBERT SPENCER needs a Nobel Peace prize.
    If not for brave people like him we wouldnt hear a damn thing
    in our own media about these atrocities.

    Perhaps its a good thing our main news is “Catlynne Jenner”
    Whoopi Goldberg Ben Affleck etc…..

    The average person does not even want to hear anything but
    that kind of nonsense.

    And those like Robert who tell the truth are branded extreme.

    WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    People are dying at alarming rates.
    Such a tragedy.

    This is Islamaphobic, It was all planted there by the MOSSAD with the help of the tooth fairy. I would NEVER imagine a PEACEFUL MUSLIM having any weapons of any kind.
    If there was such a thing as a peaceful Muslim.

    Tunisia: Police find weapons in 40 mosques
    ……………………..

    I’m shocked, shocked! Oh, wait..no I’m not.

    Here’s what president of Turkey Recep Erdogan infamously had to say on the subject:

    “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers…”

    And this is not just in Dar-al-Islam–here’s the notorious Finsbury Mosque in London:

    “Police seize weapons in mosque raid”

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1419533/Police-seize-weapons-in-mosque-raid.html

    And here’s a story from Kenya:

    “Kenya: weapons found in Mosques raided by police”

    http://muslimvillage.com/2014/11/21/59740/kenya-weapons-found-in-mosques-raided-by-police/

    Israel and the UN have found weapons caches in Mosques used by Hamas. Weapons have been found at Al Aqsa Mosque. The Taliban has stocked weapons in Mosques. Weapon caches have been found in Mosques in Fallujah.

    There are hundreds more such stories.
