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

South Africa: Man dressed in female Islamic attire fires shots at train station

Oct 13, 2015 11:14 pm By Robert Spencer

“The shooter came shooting in the air, dressed in black clothes I could only see his eyes. I had to hide behind a car.” Why he turned the gun on himself is unclear, but perhaps it was an attempt to gain the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise for those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111), after authorities were not obliging enough to kill him themselves.

In any case, it points up the need to ban Islamic face coverings, as a security measure. But no one will heed the warning.

Cape Town train station

“Shooting, suicide rocks Cape Town station,” by Siyabonga Kalipa, IOL, October 13, 2015 (thanks to Achmed):

Cape Town – A man dressed in a female black Islamic attire fired several shots at the Cape Town train station before turning the gun on himself this afternoon.

Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut said, “The circumstances surrounding the death of an unknown man are being investigated after he allegedly shot himself at platform 24, Cape Town railway station.”

Witnesses said they heard gun shots and ran for cover before seeing a man dressed as a woman with his eyes the only body part they could see….

A witness who didn’t want to be named said, “I was coming from school to catch a train when I heard the gun shots, the only thing I could think of was run. I’m still shaking because I’ve never heard gun shots so close.”

She said she thought it was a robbery but was surprised to see the guy had shot himself.

Another witness who asked to remain anonymous said, “The shooter came shooting in the air, dressed in black clothes I could only see his eyes. I had to hide behind a car.”…

    Same story. Different day. Of course wearing a full body cover is a good idea if you want to carry out a crime! That burka needs to be outlawed, as does the head scarf.

      Just here lies my chief problem with muslim women’s doubleblackbodybags & facial cover-ups: how is any one to know whether what’s inside is male or female, or wearing a suicide vest or hiding a gun or a meat cleaver?

        Well, I suspect a few crotch grabs will be the ultimate test of what’s beneath the body tents. Yes, all coverings should be banned. But we know it won’t happen…

      Would it be asking too much for some specifics of who, what, where, when, and why of your broad assertion? There isn’t enough information in this story to determine much but the precedence of using Muslima clothing as subterfuge is already established. Here is an example:

    She heard the shots…had never heard shots so close before. Wonder what the circumstances were when she heard them before.

    They could only see his eyes….and one can be sure they were the eyes made dead by the beast of islam.

      Believe me, there are plenty of areas in Cape Town where you will hear gunshots every day of your life. Some areas are rife with drug gangs fighting turf wars. Cape Town has a very high murder rate in certain areas.

    When they try to claim their virgins they may be surprised to learn the koran doesn’t say they are female.

      They like boys too.
      Just when I thought they have done it all a story like this comes out. Now they are cross dressing too.
      Soon they’ll have a Mardi Gras. Who says they are not progressive, sarc/off.

        They’ve been doing this for years. The black garbage bag easily hides a suicide vest so the can calmly walk into a highly populated area before exploding.

    A wee bit unfair to say the nutter was dressed as a woman. Maybe fairer to say that he was wearing full suicidal zombie attire.

    South Africa is so violent they’ll laugh this one off as a fun joke.Jihadists are super-stealth here. They are so enmeshed in the national identity and have such a strong hand they don’t want to agitate just yet. They don’t do much except funnel money to their friends al shabaab and train them here, suck up to the crooked politicians and make sure they get continual great media coverage about how wonderful they and their culture are while they quietly radicalise people. The community was discriminated against as non-white during apartheid and they’ve been here for hundreds of years so their identity as Islamic jihadists just isn’t strong enough, so the Saudis have been really busy fixing that. In March, Durban Muslim author ZP Dala was run off the road and attacked with a brick after mentioning she appreciates Salman Rushdie’s style of writing. But as the lone wolves step up their game I don’t think South Africa will be as dumb as elsewhere.. Whites are not liberal and Africans know the “Indians” hate them.

    Witnesses said they heard gun shots and ran for cover before seeing a man dressed as a woman with his eyes the only body part they could see….

    I’m guessing they saw someone, that they later learn to be a man, dressed as a woman.

    It’s good that the only person he killed was himself – may all suicide attacks go like that.

    Sally’s comments are excellent.

    The Mohammedan population in South Africa is about 2%, and they are mainly of Indian or or Malay decent. The latter arrived in Cape Town some 300 years ago, while the former settled in Durban some 150 years ago. The ‘Indians’ tend to be more fundaMENTAList than the ‘Malays’, but both are now displaying their Mohammedan identity, by beards and hijabs (and niqabs).

    The Saudi / Wahhabi and North African / Salafi influences on local Mohammedans is very evident, as radicalization gains ground. The King Fahd Foundation in Saudi Arabia is pumping petrodollars into South African mosques, spreading Wahhabi ideology at every opportunity.

    By the way, the “man in a burqa” might not have been ‘Muslim’. My guess he was ‘African’, but (at this stage) one can’t be sure! Whatever, a real ‘nutter’ he was.

    Can only see the eyes, but everyone knows the person is a man? Hmmm. Sounds fishy.

    Oct 15, 2015 at 2:13 am

    Yeah. Well, I think this guy is going to be pretty disappointed, since he didn’t kill himself while actually attempting to take the enemies of Allah with him. Just killing yourself in public wearing a burqa or niqab isn’t the way to get to Paradise. It’s just suicide.

    So either this guy was a very ignorant Muslim, or maybe … I dunno, a gay ex-Muslim who was making some kind of statement?
