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

Muslim accused of running Islamic State network that wanted to “carry out massacres & create climate of mass panic” in Spain

Madrid jihad terror arrestSurely John Kerry and Joe Biden and David Cameron and Boris Johnson and Pope Francis and the U.S. Catholic Bishops are jetting over to Madrid as we speak, so as to explain to Abdeladim Achriaa how he is misunderstanding the Religion of Peace.

“Madrid terrorist suspect ran Isis cell planning massacres in Spain,” The Local, August 28, 2015:

A 26-year-old who called himself “Salami Jihadi” is accused of running an Islamic State recruitment network that wanted to “carry out massacres and create a climate of mass panic and instability” in Spain.

The suspect, a Moroccan national called Abdeladim Achriaa, had lived in Spain for years but was arrested on Tuesday in a joint Spanish-Moroccan police operation south of Madrid that targeted alleged supporters of the Islamic State group.

Achriaa applied for bail but National Court judge Juan Pablo Gonzalez rejected his request on Thursday, saying he posed a flight risk and ordering him to be kept behind bars while the investigation continues.

“Abdeladim was coordinating the members of a Syrian-Iraqi affiliate of Islamic State deployed in several cities in Morocco,” the judge wrote after questioning Achriaa in court.

The aim was for them to eventually join Islamic State fighters in Syria and Iraq, he said, noting that Achriaa had several Facebook profiles, one of which gave his name as ‘salami Jihadi’.

Officials in Madrid and Rabat said the network sought to recruit IS jihadists to join the fighting in Iraq and Syria and also to carry out attacks in Spain and Morocco.

“They were aiming to mimic in Spain and Morocco the massacres carried out by Islamic State members with the intention of creating a climate of mass panic and instability,” the Spanish Interior Ministry said following the arrests.

During Tuesday’s arrest operation, police in Morocco also arrested another 13 people in Fez, Casablanca, Nador, Al Hoceima and Driouech as part of the same investigation.

One of them was the father of a woman called Hafsa Azaoum, who is Achriaa’s partner. Five of Azaoum’s brothers have gone to Syria to fight for the IS jihadists, the judge said.

Tuesday’s arrests came just days after passengers on a crowded Paris-bound train tackled and disarmed a heavily-armed Moroccan man who used to live in Spain, halting what authorities say could have been a bloodbath.

Spain is on ‘high alert’ for a terrorist attack, at level four on a scale of five, that from this week will be published on the Interior Ministry website.

    Without the climate of mass panic and instability, Muslims are forced to look at the shallowness Muhammad’s disgraceful claim of prophet-hood.
    Muslims faced with this horrifying prospect of Islam’s glaring emptiness flail about in desperation trying to prop up their dead ideology.

    And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
    Romans 12:2

    Yet Muslims continue to conform to their father, who comes to rob, steal, kill & destroy.

    We can wonder if these focussed actions of the Spanish police “heightened the risk of attacks against Spanish interests abroad”. This was the reason given for the deportation of Imran Firasat, who made a film critical of Islam: he constituted “a threat to Spanish security.”

    Spain(also Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway et al) has been overwhelmed by Muslim immigration for at least a decade and is reaping the effect of that slowly but surely. Mosques are being built all over Spain so fast like fields of mushrooms. Spain kicked out Muslims once, will they be brave enough to do it again? I do not think so…

    Oleeeeh! Iberian Peninsula was colored black on IS map, but the bullfighters are not as easy to overrun as IS thinks.

    People should respect the hard working missioners of ISIS. ISIS is a movement of peace, inspired by the Koran.

    Not off topic – this magnificent article about our situation in Europe by Fjordman:

    “The government is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It is pervasive and intrusive in matters of little importance, yet nearly absent in matters of great importance. The ruling elites are incapable of or unwilling to properly protect the country’s borders or uphold its laws. Yet they are very willing to spend your tax money on combating carbon dioxide. The authorities cannot prevent large numbers of people from illegally entering your country, but they can and will regulate the fat content of your yogurt.”

    “The Quranic Concept of War” by Brigadier S. K. Malik is a book on jihad widely read in Islamic countries. He emphasized how instilling terror is essential to waging a successful jihad campaign.
    “Terror struck into the hearts of enemies is not only a means, it is the end itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy; it is the decision we wish to impose upon him…The test of utmost preparation lies in our capability to instill terror into the hearts of the enemies.” – (Brigadier S. K. Malik)

    Terrorist Abdeladim Achriaa may have read this book.

    Terror Struck into the Hearts of Enemies Brigadier Malik

    Brigadier Malik wrote a book on jihad widely read in Islamic countries. He emphasized how instilling terror is essential to waging a successful jihad campaign.

    “Terror struck into the hearts of enemies is not only a means, it is the end itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy; it is the decision we with to impose upon him…The test of utmost preparation lies in our capability to instill terror into the hearts of the enemies.”

    Koran 3:151 – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”.

    Koran 8:12 – “I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

      The final goal of Jihad terror is Muslim rule, the enslavement (virtual or literal) of Infidels, and the imposition of savage Shari’ah law.

    Listened to some retard from the UNHCR complaining that Europe was failing in its duty to ” refugees”. He was demanding that ” safe corridors” be opened up for these “refugees” to travel through, so they wouldn´t have to risk their lives in the back of lorries and on boats.
    I fail to understand why its Europe´s duty and responsibility to take in and re-home this tidal wave of ” asylum seekers”.
    Why don´t these morons from the UNHCR start demanding that the rest of the world do their share of taking in ” refugees”.
    Start sending them to China, India, Mongolia, Japan and the hundreds of other countries in Asia and Africa.

      UN spokesman on migration, Peter Sutherland, has scolded already swamped Britain for not “accommodating more readily those from other backgrounds”.
      He is patronising and dismissive about traditional British identities which for him are just so unfashionable.: “…we… ourselves …who still nurse a sense of our homogeneity and difference from others…. And that’s precisely what the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine.”

        Looks like he is getting his wish. Angela Merkel has agreed to take in 800,000 ( yes, 800,000) Syrian “refugees” in the next year. You can bet money, that every one of these Syrian ” refugees” will be Muslim.
        After this lot have been taken in, there is another 2.5 million Syrian “refugees” ( yes. 2.5 million ) waiting to join them in Europe.
        Europe´s suicide by Islam is now guaranteed.

        Yes–all of this is suicidal madness. Unless patriotic people fight back, this is the end of Europe.

    This is why it is negligent of any leader that does not bring the War to Jihadists of any stripe on their turf and not wait for them to bring the war to us. The latter will cost is that many more lives.

    A 26-year-old who called himself “Salami Jihadi”

    Lol! “Salami” probably means something else in Arabic, but still 😀

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 28, 2015 at 6:13 pm

      Yup–“Salami” means “one who salaams”–prostrates himself in Mosque, or who kowtows to a despot.

      But yes–I love the unintended reference to Italian smoked pork product.

      Remember the old cartoon, where Popeye has a bunch of Mohammedans bowing to him and chanting “Salami, Salami, Baloney” in fake Arabic?

      “Politically incorrect”, of course, but very funny:
