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

Brussels: Cops shoot Muslim carrying a bomb in a rucksack after he takes a woman hostage

Mar 25, 2016 12:45 pm By Robert Spencer

This ongoing jihad activity accounts for the latest spate of mainstream media articles explaining how Islam really teaches peace, and warning about how Muslims are suffering as a result of “Islamophobia.”

Brussels jihadi shooting

“Armed police shoot man ‘carrying a bomb in a rucksack after he takes a woman hostage’ at Brussels tram station as they swoop on terror suspects linked to ‘imminent attack in France,'” by Sara Malm, Julian Robinson, Nick Fagge and Flora Drury, Mailonline, March 25, 2016:

A woman was taken hostage by a suspected terrorist at a tram stop in Brussels today, witnesses say.

Police shot the suspect as part of a fresh swoop to thwart an ‘imminent attack’ on France.

A second suspect was also shot in the raid, which began in a flat nearby in the Schaerbeek area of north Brussels.

Dramatic footage shows police coaxing a child away from the injured suspect who was shot in the leg at the tram stop amid reports he was carrying a bomb in a rucksack.

Belgian prosecutors confirmed the man was linked to a planned attack in France, foiled by the French authorities last night in a separate raid in Paris.

Eyewitness videos show the incident unfolding at the tram stop where the ‘neutralised’ suspect dropped the bag, which was then investigated by a bomb robot.

A group of women visiting a hair salon opposite the tram stop described the moment they saw police swoop on the man standing with his bag.

Speaking to MailOnline, they said the man had been standing at the tram stop with a woman who was apparently with a young girl.

As police arrived, the man is said to have pulled the woman to the floor with him – apparently holding her hostage. However, the armed officers were able to pull her to safety quickly, dragging the man to the side, the shaken women recounted.

Three people have been detained in the fresh wave of raids with authorities naming them as Tawfik A., Salah A., and the third, unnamed man taken in the Schaerbeek operation.

Two of the three – Tawfik A and the man detained in Schaerbeek – were wounded in the leg, the statement said.

The raid in Schaerbeek comes as:

Six were arrested during police raids in Brussels on Thursday night in connection with the bomb attacks and a new terror plot
Friday’s Schaerbeek raid has been linked to the arrest of convicted ISIS recruiter Reda Kriket in Paris – also on Thursday night
Kriket, a 34-year-old Frenchman, had been in the ‘advances stages’ of planning an attack in France prior to his arrest, and was found with heavy weapons and explosives in his apartment
Two men were held in Germany suspected of being linked to the Brussels bombers
Claims that Paris terror suspect Salah Abdeslam was plotting a machine gun massacre over Easter before he was arrested…

        Thank you Dave for that wonderful video. I am not a Christian, but even ancient me got very teary eyes when watching it.

        On this holiest three days for those whom Jesus is Lord, may you all find strength and peace in His supreme message of love.

      to jihad3tracker – Welcome aboard, tracker – I’ve thought us to be in WWIII for some time. WWIII has a different shape, look, flavor from WWII or WWI, so I figure it will only be recognized that we are in it by people in dribs and drabs.

      Cheers!

        And a tip of the hat back to YOU, Quotha —- Robert and Pam shook me out of my own vast privilege-guilt multi-cultural cluelessness about 4 years ago.

        My point in that short post: how events in Europe are now finally on the rails for acceleration. Momentum has been on a slower simmer, shall we say, but those of us who know the power of Islam over weak and sick minds expected full steam ahead eventually.

        BTW — This evening, when I raise a glass or five of my current ultradark fave IPA (Great Dismal Black — O’Connor Brewing in Norfolk Virginia) the first “Cheers” will be aimed in your direction.

    A clear case of bigoted, racist, Islamophobia by Belgium police. How dare they stop this devout Muslim from practicing his religion.
    Time for the UNHRC to summons the Belgium representative at the UN and interrogate him about the clear religious discrimination against the peace loving Muslims living in Schaerbeek.
    Belgium should be punished for their religious persecution of their Muslims citizens by being made to take in another 10 million Muslim ” refugees”

    Time for these Belgian police officers to get more range training. It appears they are all shooting low.

      Hope they were trying to shoot the guy’s dick off, probably too small to hit at less than point blank, though.

    We are all on the front line. All Muslims support jihad or they have left Islam. Muslims cannot opt out of jihad.

    My biggest frustration is the fact that my father risked his life fighting the Nazis in WWII as a member of the Dutch resistance.. I served from “68 – “74 when the cold War was in full swing. Now a bunch of self-proclaimed “intellectual superior” libtards have been handing that hard fought obtained liberty to a bunch of bloodthirsty savages, whose prime example is Muhammad, the ultimate example of humanity in their own twisted minds. A warlord and a pedophile. Stating these facts could get you arrested in some countries. Go figure

    They shot him in the leg. Amazing. He had a bomb and a hostage and they shot him in the leg. I am dumbfounded.

    Not really.

    Bad-guys like this need to be shot in the head, that is the computer which controls when and where he detonates the bomb he’s carrying… shoot the head.

    This, America, is pretty much what you can also expect from your police when this shit starts happening here.

      Yep, shoot them in the leg, even in the torso, and they can still detonate their bomb. In fact, bomb vests might be made so a torso shot detonates them. They have to be taken out with headshots. I’m afraid if their policy is to shoot them in the leg, it will fail miserably. This betrays a lack of desire to stop these splodeydopes the most effective way, and suggests we can’t bring ourselves to kill these terrorists, and that we’re not really serious about the threat which faces us.

    Wow, I didn’t even hear about this incident until now. How sad that this is just… Europe’s “new normal”.

    Maybe they’ll gain an understanding of what it’s been like for Jews in Israel for generations.

    SUICIDE ATTACK NOT PART OF ISLAM: MUSLIM ARE MOST COURAGEOUS PEOPLE ON EARTH ,THEY NEVER AND EVER FIGHT ENEMY LIKE THAT…….HERE THE PROOF:

    Suicide prohibited: reward of suicide is eternal hell
    4: 29. O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And >>>>do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another)<<<>>> whoever commits suicide<<>> forbid Paradise for him.<<<>>>their warriors should be killed <<<<<and their children and women should be taken as prisoners."
    Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 74 :: Hadith 278

    SO SUICIDE ATTACK NOT PART OF ISLAM ,KILLING INNOCENTS PEOPLE NOT PART OF ISLAM,ISLAM PROMOTE/ORDER JIHAD WITH ENEMY ( THE WARRIORS,NOT PUBLIC PEOPLE) ONLY A GROUP OF PEOPLE COME TO THE ISLAMIC ZONE WITH THE INTENTION OF KILLING MUSLIMS AND ROBBERY

    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 203
    It is narrated on the authority of Thabit b. Dahhak that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who took deliberately a false oath on a religion other than Islam would become that which he had professed. And he who killed himself with anything Allah would torment him with that in the Fire of Hell.
    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 202
    It is narrated on the authority of Thabit b. al-Dahhak that the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) observes: None is obliged to give votive offering (of a thing) which is not in his possession and the cursing of a believer is tantamount to killing him, and he who killed himself with a thing in this world would be tormented with that (very thing) on the Day of Resurrection, and he who made a false claim to increase (his wealth), Allah would make no addition but that of paucity, and he who perjured would earn the wrath of God
    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 201
    Thabit b. Dahhak reported that he pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) under the Tree, and verily the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who took an oath of a religion other than Islam, in the state of being a liar, would became so, as he professed. He who killed himself with a thing would be tormented on the Day of Resurrection with that very thing. One is not obliged to offer votive offering of a thing which is not in his possession.
    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 199
    It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who killed himself with steel (weapon) would be the eternal denizen of the Fire of Hell and he would have that weapon in his hand and would be thrusting that in his stomach for ever and ever, he who drank poison and killed himself would sip that in the Fire of Hell where he is doomed for ever and ever; and he who killed himself by falling from (the top of) a mountain would constantly fall in the Fire of Hell and would live there for ever and ever.
