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

Germany: Muslim gang stole from churches to fund the Islamic State

Oct 21, 2015 7:51 pm By Robert Spencer

The German churches should redouble their efforts at “Muslim-Christian dialogue.” Surely that will fix this problem right up in a hurry, won’t it? Otherwise, with hundreds of thousands more Muslims now streaming into Germany, there is going to be more of this kind of thing.

Muslim gang stole from churches

“Cologne gang ‘stole from churches to fund Isis’,” The Local, October 21, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Eight young men appeared in court in Cologne on Tuesday charged with robbing churches and schools to finance Isis’ religious war in Syria.

When they broke into churches they stole collection boxes, crosses and other objects “dedicated to church services and religious veneration” prosecutors allege.

From the schools, the men stole laptops, money and a cash card, which they used to finance jihadist fighters in the Syrian civil war, alleged chief prosecutor Nadja Gudermann.

Security measures were heightened around the Cologne city court as the men were brought from police detention.

During the burglaries, which took place between 2011-14, the men are alleged to have stolen €19,000 worth of goods and often seriously damaged the premises before they left.

How much of the money actually reached fighters in Syria is unknown and will not be addressed in the trial.

The central figure in the gang was a Moroccan, prosecutors say, who also uploaded a video to YouTube encouraging Muslims to fight for Isis. He himself appears in the German section of the video.

Prosecutors allege that the 26-year-old Moroccan travelled to Syria where he was trained in a military camp….

    Thieving Muslims.

    They’re just going to get themselves more disliked than ever before in Germany.

      I understand your point, abad, but I would opine to the effect that the term “Thieving Muslims” definitely has something redundant about it, just as the term “radical Islam” does.

      Muslims have been pilfering for some 1400 years now, whether actual material property or the ideas of others. The religion of Islam is rooted (and rotted) in parasite behavior and it starts with its reputed founder and its dismal holy book, the Koran. I mean just look at the oil reserves extracted from Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, or take a look at even 9/11 for that matter. Minus Western technology, no oil would be extracted from Islamic nations to this day, and minus aeronautical development exclusively developed by the West 9/11 would never have occurred.

      Whenever the word “Islam” is mentioned to me, many negative thoughts enter my mind. Close to the top of this list is the word “parasite.”

        Mohammed was a parasite and proud of it. Who is more parasitical than a slave owner? Islam is all about slavery. There is even slavery in the Islamic paradise. The reward Muslim suicide-murderers receive is slaves and sex.

        Appalling religion…Islam’s idea of excellence is depravity and sadism.

        Both parasitic and predatory.

    I wonder how these scum were caught and arrested.They had a racquet going for quite some time.

    Correction- I meant “racket” slang for a business, not “racquet” meaning a sports tool such as tennis racquet.

      No probs, Linde. I often screw up with grammar and spelling. Thankfully, JW is not riddled with the ” grammar police” waiting to pounce on every unintentional mistake, as on some other blogs. I suppose it makes them feel ” superior”

    Stealing from the poor box…normative jihadism, rather than an aberration.

    Hiding their criminal faces, just like isis video killers. Others will most likely copy this behavior and criminal activity. When the schools go broke from all of the incoming, and the churches are burned down for the same reason, where will they break in to steal then?

    There is no good, no virtue, nothing to recommend islam, the beast of satan. Full of murderers and thieves and rapists.

    Now that the Lefties’ clients are going into stealing (and from a supposedly “reactionary” institution at that), we’re going to be treated to more drivel about “understanding” the poor widdle cwiminals. Sorry folks, but I’m old enough to remember the Silly ‘Sixties and Sillier ‘Seventies.

    Just imagine! Geert Wilders is being persecuted for suggesting that “less Moroccans” might reduce crime in The Netherlands; which is completely supported by crime statistics. In the land of the (E)unuchs (U)nlimited even the truth is “racist”.

    Since they love their Sharia so much they will be more than happy to have their hands chopped off.

      It seems that only applies if they steal from Muslims. Here they took from unbelievers, people of the book, to give to warring Islamists. Tarnation! I forgot, this has nothing to do with Islam. Never mind…..

    “Eight young men appeared in court in Cologne on Tuesday charged with robbing churches and schools to finance Isis’ religious war in Syria.”

    Just following the example of their prophet . . . 1400 years of unbridled, normative theft.

    “’When they broke into churches they stole collection boxes . . .”

    Because mosques had no collection boxes for the poor.

    “From the schools, the men stole laptops, money and a cash card, which they used to finance jihadist fighters in the Syrian civil war . . .”

    Guess they didn’t find the keys to the schools’ Toyota pickups.

    “During the burglaries . . . the men . . . often seriously damaged the premises before they left.”

    Something they do wherever they go . . .

    “Prosecutors allege that the 26-year-old Moroccan travelled to Syria where he was trained in a military camp….”

    Now would be a good time to send him back to that military camp . . . where Putin’s welcoming committee eagerly awaits his return.

    Great points, though funny as well, from Cecelia.

    Thieves? Now are they going to be judged according to sharia, like they wish? Who’s going to cut their hands off?? Any taker??
