Germany-Netherlands soccer game canceled, stadium is being evacuated — Merkel was set to attend match

Nov 17, 2015 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“And at least one of the ISIS attackers in Paris had tried to gain access to France’s national soccer stadium. The attacker was turned away by security after it was discovered he was wearing an explosive vest. While attempting to escape from security, the attacker detonated his vest outside of the stadium.”

Hannover stadium

“Germany-Netherlands game has been canceled, and the stadium is being evacuated,” Business Insider, November 17, 2015:

The Hannover stadium hosting a Germany-Netherlands soccer friendly was being evacuated Tuesday. A stadium announcement said the Germany-Netherlands game in Hannover has been canceled.

According to BBC, the stadium started its evacuations two hours before the start of the march. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was scheduled to attend the match.

The reason for the evacuation has yet to be announced, although AFP, citing an official, reported that the evacuation was due to “security reasons.” The evacuation comes just days after ISIS launched coordinated attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people last Friday.

And at least one of the ISIS attackers in Paris had tried to gain access to France’s national soccer stadium. The attacker was turned away by security after it was discovered he was wearing an explosive vest. While attempting to escape from security, the attacker detonated his vest outside of the stadium.

The evacuation of the stadium follows a decision Monday by the Belgian soccer federation to cancel a game scheduled for Tuesday between Belgium and Spain. The federation cited security concerns following the Paris attacks and how one Belgian-based French suspect was still on the run following the attacks.

      Muslims are creating fear. The fear of going about your regular activities.They no great global military machine ….so fear is their greatest asset.

      FEAR IS THE CATALYST THAT FUELS ISLAM AND THE QUORAN IS THE VEHICLE THAT DRIVS IT.

      It is way past time to reverse the fear

    Just got done listening to a guy say some of the most common sense stuff about Mosques in America, fighting ISIS, and the Mideast in general.
    The leading candidate for the Republican party and not a word about his talk here at Jihad Watch?
    The pettiness over a dumb statement spoken a while ago probably out of ignorance needs to stop.
    If it continues those of us with principles will conclude that Jihad Watch considers itself bigger than this fight to the death we are engaged in.
    Everything must be done to win and this is not what I would expect from those truly committed to a cause greater than themselves.

      “… those of us with principles…”

      I would bet a huge sum of money, that Robert Spencer has more principles in his little finger than you have in the whole of your windy mouth.

      When *you* have done, what Robert does, 24/7, and live your life constantly surrounded by security guards, constantly worrying whether some vile mohammedan and/or leftard scumbag is going to try to murder you and those you love, *then* you might, possibly, have the right to pontificate on “principles”.

      Until then, scurry off into your hole, because you haveno more right to talk to a man with principles, than an ape has to speak of morality

        You guys are like a bunch of brown nosing hacks, pathetic.
        RS is a man I admired but not brown nose like you guys do.
        The wounds of a friend are truer than the flattering of some hacks.
        I believe RS can aptly defend himself, but the trtuh of what I say is just that, truth and needs to be addressed
        Now continue on with you name calling you bunch of brown nosers

        • cjk says

          Nov 17, 2015 at 3:19 pm

          To clarify; I greatly admire the courage of both RS and Pamela and feel they are great forces for good. They have done huge amounts of good for this world and I believe will continue to do so and have my support, but also my criticism when it might bring their attention to truths.

          You are sooooo stuck on Trump that you whine and complain to the freedom fighters of Jihadwatch. His cult of personality has got you brownnosing like crazy. You don’t realize that his comments earlier this year in regards to the 1st amendment, underscore the fact that he doesn’t have a clue! There is another candidate in the race that would be more forceful and trustworthy on this issue and keeping us safe. I will let you venture who it is.

        • cjk says

          Nov 17, 2015 at 4:47 pm

          Wow, settle down there Davy! My favorite candidate just so happens to be Ted Cruz, but when Trump says what he says that’s news which should be a Jihad Watch headline.
          That’s all I said and listen to all the self proclaimed defenders of RS.
          A man who is clearly more capable of defending himself than any of this army of brown nosers which has descended here. LOL!

          Nov 17, 2015 at 9:03 pm

          This is probably the matter cjk is ranting about:

          “TRUMP: I WILL BUILD ‘A BIG BEAUTIFUL SAFE ZONE’ IN SYRIA FOR REFUGEES”

          http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/11/17/trump-i-will-build-a-big-beautiful-safe-zone-in-syria-for-refugees/

          It is entirely unclear what the nature of such a “safe zone” would be–Trump openly admits that many of these “refugees” represent a Trojan Horse–i.e., that they are Jihadists.

          Jihadists *already* have a “safe zone” in Syria–that would be the Islamic State. I don’t know why we should be involved in maintaining such as “safe zone”.

          If, on the other hand, he means that we should create a zone safe for democracy–well, we already tried that in Iraq, and in Afghanistan. Most of the pious Muslims there rejected any such thing. Why he thinks this would work now with the added factor of ISIS is anyone’s guess.

          I have to say I am not actually surprised that Jihad Watch hasn’t covered this muddled proposal. But if cjk wants to bring this story to Robert Spencer’s attention, he is, of course, free to do so.

          The “Contact Jihad Watch” box is either on the right side of the screen, or at the bottom, depending on screen configuration.

      Mosques, ISIS, etc are not the only issues that the US faces. There are other very important issues too, e.g. media/ academia’s ideological bias, lack of respect for values and principles, lack of common-sense etc, and the person best capable of fixing it all is Dr. Ben Carson.

      Your guy is nothing but a showman who does not have the foundational understanding of why to take a certain position on issues. He goes whichever way the wind is blowing. When Pamela held the cartoon contest, he chastised her not because he had any foundational understanding of what Pamela has done wrong, but because most others around him were scolding her “for insulting people.” So he did the same.

      He is against taking in the refugees now because the winds have changed, but prior to the Paris attacks he was open to it (See this link) Carson otoh always knew that accepting refugees was a bad idea!

      Your guy said if the French had guns, the Paris attack would not have been this destructive. This showman copied Carson on this one because he remembers republicans liking what Carson said during the Oregon shooting incident.

      He insulted women and Hispanics, and has alienated them. This is the opposite of what a real leader should be doing!

      Why should anyone vote for this narcissist (see this link)when much better and saner candidates are available (Carson, Cruz)?

      As for making the border with Mexico more tough to cross, Carson and Cruz have the same positions. So how is Trump any better?

      Just because he shouts and insults others for no reason does not automatically mean that he can be a good leader. His style probably works in business. The employees refrain from complaining against a boss like him because they are afraid of losing their jobs, or because they want to stay for experience or resume. If he behaves the same way with citizens, no one going to put up with his bs!

      Another great candidate is Ted Cruz. However, since he is fairly young, IMO it would only benefit him to have exposure to a leader like Carson. Cruz would make a great leader in the future. The rest of them I do not know much about.

      So be wise and vote for a real leader, not a showman!

        Nov 17, 2015 at 5:07 pm

        He’s not my guy, but news is news and Jihad Watch should report it. Capiche?
        Cruz is my guy and Carson isn’t even close in that he said he probably wouldn’t have sent St. Michael off to thug heaven. Carson also questioned whether neighborhood watchmen should carry after St. Trayvon go his due. Maybe you need to study a little more.
        He’s right about Paris regardless off what ‘you guy’ said, how’s if feel.
        Trump is the only guy I’ve heard back Putin in Syria and express disgust and outrage over the ISIS murder of Christians although I hope and suspect others have too.
        We finally get someone who stands up to our biggest enemy, The MSM and people like you half wits come down on him like a ton of bricks.

          Actually, we are in a much better shape than the Europeans and can afford to analyze our situation and our candidates, more thoroughly before settling on one candidate or the other. IMO here are the few things that Americans need to realize-

          1) We have two adversaries: Islam, and an even more menacing one: the left

          2) The world seems to be waking up to Islam and its followers. The ball is rolling and is starting to get bigger against Islam though there is plenty more that needs to be done.

          3) The left on the other hand is strong as ever and still needs to be taken care of!

          4) My observation has been, if I see it correctly, that there are many non-conservatives who are equally concerned about Islam, and that even though they are not conservatives, they are not leftist either! The regular readers of JW must have noticed that we frequently have non-conservatives who see Islam as a threat but are confused about where to go. One even said he is a [economic] socialist who is concerned about Islam.

          5) Both the conservatives and non-conservatives are very stubborn and there is a complete deadlock between the two sides. I firmly believe that we can have a dialogue with the non-left liberals. Our side can take the lead, break the stalemate, and invite them to our camp. I think we SHOULD do so since there are lots of such non-left people. However, we are going to need a leader who has the diplomatic acumen necessary to accomplish this, and Dr. Carson is that leader! This is why I recommend him so strongly. Trump canNOT do this. I am not sure if even Cruz can.

          I received an e-mail from Pamela Geller where she pointed out how much of a danger the Left is. I think we should put Islam on the back-burner for now (since the ball is already rolling against this cult) and concentrate for the next 2-3 years on weakening the left. By opening up more to the non-Leftists, I am sure we can do this!

        • cjk says

          Nov 17, 2015 at 11:07 pm

          @knowthyenemy: Carson has said and thoughtfully so that he probably wouldn’t have killed Michael Brown. To me that statement is incredible to anyone who knows the facts.
          Second Carson also thoughtfully wondered whether or not neighborhood watchmen should be allowed to carry after the Trayvon Thug affair. I simply cannot accept that type of PC bullsh!t.
          We are in total agreement as to who the first enemy to be defeated is the Left.
          That happens to be one of the reasons me and many others like what we see when Trump shoves their BS right back in their faces like no one else has.
          My original comment was on the failure of such a great and respectable site like this omitting what is real news whether or not you like Trump.
          The uproar over my questioning this site has resulted in an uproar which has me questioning the caliber of the commentors at this site. No offense meant to anyone who wants to discuss truth.

          @knowthyenemy: Go to bare naked Islam and read what Trump said on Morning Joe this morning. Something which should be published at a site like this also.

          @cjk
          Obviously you are referring to Trump’s claim that he will consider shutting down mosques if necessary or put them under surveillance. I am sure most other Rep. candidates would do the same if elected. (Link- http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/11/16/donald-trump-i-would-strongly-consider-shutting-down-mosques-if-necessary/ )

          However, you are right to insist that this piece should have been reported here. I suppose anytime you come across something interesting that you notice is not published at JW, you can follow gravenimage’s suggestion and bring it to Robert’s attention through the comment box.

    The Dutch people have not listened to Geert Wilders for over a decade. They have never had a more popular politician for decades. Now is the time for politicians to make way for him. Those who have been actively opposing Geert Wilders should be ashamed of their duplicity to their electorates. They should resign now. If they don’t resign, people must take matters into their own hands. Enough is enough.

    Didn’t the moslims in Afghanistan play soccer with dead animals and the heads of animals? And they wish to kill those people who play with an inanimate object.

    There is no logic in islam, wild beast, product of satan the devil. There is only death, rape and destruction.
    Russia, France, and trying in Germany and elsewhere. They will try often enough to succeed again, unfortunately. The average person has no armed protection…only those in political power or the very wealthy. The same ones who make major decisions that affect all of the rest of mankind.

    Long term, I don’t see how Merkel is going down in history as other than a colossal and profoundly harmful fool unless, of course, history will be (God forbid) written by fools and bad guys, which, I’m sorry to say, is a distinct possibility since, assuming Napoleon was correct (which I really am loathe to assume), history is a pack of lies agreed upon.

      The history of the future will be rewritten as it has in the past.

      Merkel and other Euro-elites that have betrayed the people like no leaders before, will go down as the best things that happened to Islam since Mohamed.

      • Wellington says

        Nov 17, 2015 at 11:04 pm

        Best for the spiritual fascism which is Islam, David, is a given, but the truth of things overall, that still hangs in the balance. Right now, though, not looking good.

        Long term, however, either Islam and its putrid defenders (e.g., Merkel, Cameron, May, Obama, Kerry——ah, the list is a long one of useful idiots) will prevail or the truth will. It’s an either/or since Islam and its apologists have nothing at all to do with the truth.
