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

Switzerland: Four Muslims plotted jihad terror attack for Islamic State

Oct 18, 2015 8:18 am By Robert Spencer

Don’t these people know that Switzerland is neutral? You’d almost get the idea that they have no respect for established conventions and aren’t even open to dialogue.

Islamic-State12

“Four Iraqis charged in alleged Swiss ISIS cell,” Swissinfo, October 16, 2015 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

Swiss authorities have charged four Iraqi nationals with planning a terrorist attack in Europe on behalf of the Islamic State group.

Though details of the planned attack were sketchy, Switzerland’s attorney general confirmed on Friday that IS “was to claim responsibility (for) these plans if successful”.

The four Iraqis, ranging in ages from 29 to 34, face charges of participating in or supporting a criminal organisation and preparing a terrorist attack. They also are accused of multiple counts of depicting violence and illegally staying in the country.

“Given the international dimension, various countries are affected by this case,” authorities said in a statement. “The Office of the Attorney General is accordingly in contact with the law enforcement authorities of various states. The cooperation with the US Department of Justice is particularly close.”

The cooperation marks the first time that Swiss and US officials have activated a 2006 treaty that calls for establishing joint investigation teams in the fight against terrorism.

Police first arrested three of the four Iraqis, ranging in age from 29 to 34, in northeastern Switzerland in March and April 2014. They have been in custody since then. The criminal investigation expanded to include a fourth Iraqi in July 2015.

He is suspected of traveling to Syria to bring radio equipment to IS, the attorney general’s office said, and of trying to hide his Facebook connections to a high-ranking IS member….

      (Arab, mostly) muslims don’t just drink camel urine – they use it wherever they can:

      http://shoebat.com/2012/04/17/camel-urine-drink-up-and-bon-appetit/

      In the Arab world, Camel Urine products are going viral.. It’s a solution for cancer, hair loss, cosmetics… even camel urine shampoo, in capsule forms, camel urine oils… debates on which is the best way to apply camel urine on blogs, I searched and searched the Arabic for some sanity but no one dares to expose the camel urine myth since camel urine is ordered by Muhammad himself.

        “Stupid is as Stupid does.”
        “Stupid is as Islam does.”
        “Islam is as Muhammed does.”

        You can’t fix stupid.

      What did Switzerland do to warrant this Jihad plot?
      Is Switzerland occupying Muslim land?
      Are Swiss troops waging war against Muslims in any part of the world?
      Did a Swiss newspaper publish Mo’ cartoons?

    “You’d almost get the idea that they have no respect for established conventions and aren’t even open to dialogue….”

    When we meet people who behave like this in everyday life it’s usually because they’re pig-ignorant and intellectually incapable of sustaining an intelligent argument. The normal phrase to describe this sort of person on this side of the pond is ‘thick as three short planks’.

    Exactly how did they get into Switzerland to begin with? That country should just deport these jihadis.

    I have always thought that the reason Switzerland has not been attacked is because the Swiss have everybody’s money.

    Attacking the people that are holding your money is stupid for obvious reasons.

    Evidently the The Caliph has elected to do his.banking elseware.

    The Swiss should ramp up their marketing program for anonymois Sharia compliant finance products….

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Actually, what they *should* be doing is the opposite – developing and discreetly marketing – especially among the Hindu and Sikh middle class in India – certified *sharia-free*/ NON-halal financial products.

      Infidel Joe Public the world over *is* waking up.

      By the by, I’ve always thought that Sikh and Hindu Indians in the West, and people such as the Maronite Catholics from Lebanon and Coptic Christian emigres from Egypt, could do quite well by deliberately setting up Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine restaurants that were advertised as strictly NON-HALAL.

      They could end up being popular meeting-places for the Resistance….

    The Muslims are revolting.

    — Yes
    They are.

    Muslim, wash and be ever so proud.
    Lay the prayer mat down carefully Muslim.
    Worship this narcissistic deed.
    You have no god.
    Your Muslim neighbor is truly a stranger.
    You drift alone in Islam ‘s raging sea.
    Hate life, love death.
    Pray to your vanity.
    That is all you have left.

    I observe that these creatures are “Iraqi nationals”. Muslims formerly resident in Mesopotamia…

    They do not possess Swiss citizenship (which, I understand, is not easy to obtain, and the obtaining of which is a long-drawn-out process; something standing the Swiss in good stead, these days).

    Which makes the getting *rid* of them a whole lot easier.

    All countries that are proposing to admit ‘Syrian refugees’ should take a leaf out of the Swiss book; make it harder and take longer to get citizenship. Be pickier about who gets it.

    “The cooperation with the US Department of Justice is particularly close.”

    Presumably, then, those four Iraqis are waiting for their invitations to the White House. They should claim they were building a cuckoo-clock.

      Oct 19, 2015 at 10:33 pm

      To Owen: We had a good laugh, your joke is really funny. We are Swiss and must unfortunately tell you that the cuckoo clock is NOT a Swiss product. The clock is from the Black Forest in Germany!

        Do you think the FBI knows that?

          I don’t think so. You won!
