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

Spain arrests three Muslims for recruiting for the Islamic State

Nov 29, 2015 7:13 pm By Robert Spencer

Western authorities remain mum about why this alleged misunderstanding of Islam is so very widespread.

Spain ISIS arrest

“Spain arrested 3 with alleged links to terrorist groups,” Associated Press, November 29, 2015:

MADRID (AP) – Spanish police say they have arrested two men and a woman in northeastern Catalonia on suspicion of being involved in a network that recruited militants for the Islamic State group.

The men, aged 32 and 42, are both from Tangiers in Morocco and shared the same Barcelona address. Investigators say they used the internet and social networks to disseminate “extremist ideology” aimed at attracting followers to send to conflict areas in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

A statement said police also arrested a 24-year-old Spanish woman in the northeastern city of Granollers Saturday.

It said the woman had been radicalized and now shared the same ideology as the extremists and was preparing to travel to Afghanistan.

    It would be foolish to submit willingly to such vile vice to save one’s physical life and sacrifice true life. It must be a gradual surrender as that rots the heart and soul. It is much better to go down fighting this evil than to slowly die inside.

    After centuries of Muslim abuse, oppression, injustice, plunder, rape and dhimmitude, why did Spaniards let Muslims back in?

    Why did they not learn from their bitter experience? Islam will not change.

      “Why did they not learn from their bitter experience?”
      ———————————————————————
      One word VANITY
      It seems that Muslims try to earn their way to Paradise based on their “righteous deeds”
      They dutifully praise Allah in order to score points.

      It’s ironic, mortimer, that it was a Spaniard, George Santayana, who wrote “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.

    Like others on this blog I too have been puzzling over why western authorities insist adherents misrepresent Islam when any fool can see that they don’t.

    My theory is that western leaders are hoping to convince the vast number of Muslims that their religion is indeed one of peace. They fear that if they attack the religion, Muslims attitudes will only harden. They will dig in deeper since it is their entire belief system and worldview that is being exposed as fraudulent and evil. So Muslims will fight tooth and nail and push against forces that show Islam for what it is. Western leaders fear pushing too hard and exposing too many truths will drive muslims into the arms of the mullahs. Human beings can only take so much truth. So exposing. Islam for all it’s evil might be counter productive. Instead, telling the masses that Islam is peace will isolate them from mullahs. Otherwise why would obviously intelligent western leaders try to sell such a blatant lie? It’s a battle for heart and minds against the mullahs. Unfortunately the western leaders are clearly losing.

      Hearts and minds are NOT AVAILABLE in Islam: they are already spoken for.
      Maududi explains:
      “no one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private. Considered from this aspect the Islamic state bears a kind of resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states”

    The separatist regional Catalan government doesn’t want Spanish speaking Latin American immigrants but muslims as they are more likely to vote for them and the Latin Americans easily integrate into the Spanish setting having the same language, cultural background and Catholic religion.

    Because many world politicians that are in denial of what Islam is about (An introduction of a World-wide Caliphate under Sharia Law) are actually well educated and must have an understanding of history; it leads me to conclude that there must be another less obvious reason for their sickening diatribe. Could it be, that since they keep flapping their lips about the need for A New World Order, there is a hidden agenda here behind closed doors that this caliphate would be a wonderful opportunity to usher in this total control of the world? Just my thinking at present, is there anyone else got views on this?

    Why do these Western women convert? It’s like a black dude converting to slavery.

    We must first disarm them.
