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

Germany: Victim was begging Muslim who stabbed four at train station: “I love God. I love Allah.”

May 10, 2016 11:15 am By Robert Spencer

Nothing to do with Islam here, folks. He was mentally ill. We have seen this kind of mental illness before:

France: Muslim destroys Christmas decorations, screams “Allahu akbar”: “His mental state, quickly found wanting, required his placement in the specialized hospital Allonnes.”

France: Muslim driver ramming pedestrians while screaming “Allahu akbar” was “absolutely not an act of terrorism”: “‘This is absolutely not an act of terrorism,’ Prosecutor Marie-Christine Tarrare told reporters during a press conference, adding that the man had a ‘long-lasting and severe psychological disorder’ and had been hospitalised over 150 times since 2002.”

UK: Imam accused of recruiting for jihad group doesn’t have to wear electronic tag — it breaches his human rights: “A terror suspect last night won a human rights case to have his tag removed – because he thinks MI5 has put a bomb inside it. A judge said the dangerous preacher of hate has mental health problems, and wearing the electronic monitoring device was making him ‘delusional’.”

California: Muslim arrested in mosque vandalism: “His older sister describes Khan as having schizophrenia.”

Muslim NYPD cop killer told passers-by to watch: “The gunman who fatally ambushed two New York City police officers in their squad car had a long criminal record, a hatred for police and the government and an apparent history of mental instability that included an attempt to hang himself a year ago, police said Sunday.”

France: Muslim who stabbed rabbi gets four years: “Haddouche was deemed unfit to stand trial because of mental issues following a psychiatric evaluation…”

Toronto Muslim charged with carrying concealed meat cleaver into Parliament: “RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told reporters that Ali is known to authorities, but ‘not in the sort of counter-terrorism context.’ In fact, Paulson does not believe that the man’s actions were politically motivated or an act of terror. ‘I understand it is less a concern around so-called national security considerations as it is a mental health issue,’ he said. ‘There is a history of behaviours that are odd.'”

Austria: Muslim drives car into crowd, killing 3, then gets out and stabs passersby: “Police are not currently investigating terrorism as a motive and the man is believed to be suffering from mental illness.”

Canada: Police shoot Muslim wearing apparent suicide vest and holding triggering device: “In the aftermath of the shooting, police downplayed the incident saying only that the call involved ‘an emotionally disturbed person.'”

Muslim bangs on cockpit door, threatens to down plane, “wanted to see Allah”: “After being held back from the cabin door, which could not have been opened anyway, the man, who fellow passengers said appeared to have mental health issues, was then guarded by staff and the sports stars in business class.”

Muslima who beheaded toddler recently became religious, started wearing hijab: “One theory is that the woman is mentally ill and that she may have been exploited by a man or men she knew.”

Canada: Ottawa shooter’s father waged jihad in Libya in 2011; shooter not a recent convert but a longtime Muslim: “Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the slain 32-year-old suspected killer of a Canadian Forces soldier near Parliament Hill, was a labourer and small-time criminal – a man who had had a religious awakening and seemed to have become mentally unstable.”

Canada: Muslim acting “in the name of Allah” runs down two soldiers, flips car after chase, charges officers with long knife, is shot: “‘We are at the beginning of an investigation. Several hypotheses are being looked at,’ said Sgt. Michel Brunet, adding that investigators would study various angles, including mental illness and terrorism.”

Philly cop shooter: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did.”: “Archer’s mother has indicated that he is mentally ill and Ross said investigators do not know yet if the suspect was indeed radicalized or tied to terrorism.”

Oklahoma: School evacuated after “Middle Eastern” woman says she came there to “take the kids to heaven”: “During the news conference, police also said that the woman had been having mental health concerns recently.”

Chattanooga jihad murderer viewed Awlaki material online, spoke of Islamic martyrdom as long ago as 2013: “As the F.B.I. sent more investigators into this city Monday to explore dozens of possible leads, a picture took shape of a deeply troubled young man who struggled with mental illness and drug abuse at the same time he found himself alienated from United States policies in the Arab world, according to the authorities, friends and the family representative.”

Colorado Muslim stabs cop, drops Qur’an during struggle: “At about 2 p.m. Saturday, the suspect’s family told law enforcement that they were worried because Clark left his residence in Penrose and said he wasn’t going to return. They also said Clark was mentally disturbed, had been working out a great deal during the last two months and recently had broken up with his girlfriend.”

NYC police commissioner: Hatchet attack by convert to Islam was terror: “Authorities also are trying to determine if Thompson had any history of mental illness.”

UK Muslim who admitted sharing jihad videos rants about “enemy of Islam court”: “Ahmed, who has a history of mental health problems, pleaded guilty to two counts of dissemination of a terrorist publication.”

France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to strangle police officer: “Other police officers saw the events on the video surveillance system and rushed to save their colleague, who had been thrown to the ground. His assailant was said to have a history of psychiatric problems.”

Spain: Violent Muslim screaming “Allahu Akbar, all you Christians will die!” gets arrested: “Later, he was administered comprehensive tests to ascertain if he was under the influence of drugs or suffered from a mental illness.”

UK Muslim gets 20 years for trying to set up jihad training camp in Oregon: “Haroon Aswat, who has been treated for mental illness in the UK, had pleaded guilty to the charges in March after being extradited from Britain to the US last year.”

France: Knife-wielding Muslim teen screams “Allahu akbar,” shoots teacher with BB gun: “A psychiatric examination was scheduled for 13 October, with the teenager is likely to be brought before a judge.”

Colorado Muslima pleads guilty to conspiring to aid Islamic State: “Moore set sentencing for Jan. 23, saying he wanted time for Conley to undergo more complete psychiatric testing. ‘I desire more information’ on her mental state, he said, asking for both a psychological and personality evaluation.”

Are you starting to see a pattern? Authorities should start asking themselves why so many mentally ill people embrace Islamic jihad violence. And this sort of thing happens so often that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should consider adding “Islamic jihad” as a mental illness to its next edition.

Grafing station investigation

“Live Munich knife attack: One dead as man shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ attacks four at train station in Grafing, Germany,” Telegraph, May 10, 2016:

…It appears increasingly likely that the Munich knife attacker was suffering from psychological problems, writes Justin Huggler.

The 27-year-old, who has been named as Paul H, was known to the police for drug abuse and “mental disorders”, Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian state interior minister, told reporters.

Police stopped him recemtly because he was behaving abnormally, but took no further action, he said.

According to unconfirmed reports he was stopped on Sunday at a techno music festival. He was in possession of drugs at the time, and had consumed a “massive” quantity.

An eyewitness has described the attack to Bild newspaper.

“I heard screams, I saw a man lying on the ground, begging a man who stood over him. ‘I love God, I love Allah,’ he was saying, obviously to save himself,” the newspaper quoted the witness, who has not been named, as saying.

Paul H was wearing “blood-soaked socks” he said. “I have no idea where his shoes were. As he walked away, the man on the floor pointed to him and whimpered: ‘That guy stabbed me in the back!'”

‘No indication’ of Islamic extremist motive

Bavaria’s top security official says investigators have no indications that the suspect in a stabbing at a train station had an Islamic extremist motive.

Joachim Herrmann, state interior minister, said after a Cabinet meeting in Munich that the 27-year-old has confessed to carrying out the attack, news agency dpa reported.

He said investigators have no indication so far that there was an Islamic extremist motive though they are still looking at whether there’s a political background….

    islam is NOT a mental illness, it is demon possession!!!

      True.

        Or perhaps Djinn possession – might be the same perhaps. Djinn are master shape-shifters apparently. Probably what appeared to mohammed as Gabriel.

          That and more! It is a crime… against humanity. A criminal organisation, the first and worst maffia gang

      Thats just crazy talk. No such thing as “demon possession”. A muslim who follows the koran is not possessed by a demon, but gullible and living a delusion.

    And he forgot to say allah loves murdering non-Muslims and thats why he went on a rampage killing innocents. The moronic, lying media is dubbing him mentally unstable – yup, all Muslims are mentally unstable!1

    I can see how mentally ill people could pick up the term “Allahu Akbar” to use as a scare tactic, because they are afraid of this crap too. But if it is coming from a Muslim, that Muslim is not mentally ill, but stone serious.

      Hi Linnte,

      Wrong – he’s **both**!

    Nutters used to say they heard ‘voices’ telling them what to do, sometimes they claimed it was the devil.

    Now they say it’s Lala, or moham, or both.

    It’s easy to see the appeal to a deranged mind.

  5. Singh the Sikh says

    May 10, 2016 at 11:55 am

    His drug is the Koran which is also the cause/source of his ‘mental illness’.

  6. Renee Atkins says

    May 10, 2016 at 11:55 am

    Actually, the witness said the victim was saying this, presumably to try to save himself.

    They are all mentally ill. Their ailment is called Islam.

    “And this sort of thing happens so often that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should consider adding “Islamic jihad” as a mental illness to its next edition.”
    What an excellent idea!
    The DSM, the “psychiatric bible” is famous for inventing all sorts of nonsensical diagnoses. Islamic Jihad Syndrome, short IJS, could be the next big thing, with diagnoses skyrocketing.
    We should also start building a lot of “specialized hospitals” with lots of long-stay heavy security wards so we have somewhere to put all the affected individuals.

    The 27-year-old, who has been named as Paul H, was known to the police for drug abuse and “mental disorders”, Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian state interior minister, told reporters.

    Funny how the number of non-muslims who abuse drugs, suffer from mental disorders and go around killing people while shouting “allahu akbar” is what, zero?

    Clearly the drug abuse and alleged mental disorders were not the decisive factor…

  9. overman says

    May 10, 2016 at 1:50 pm

    Reform is impossible – eradication of the entire ldeology is the only answer.

  10. overman says

    May 10, 2016 at 2:02 pm

    So, they’re tired of the worn-out Labels like ‘lslamaphobia’ and ‘Racist’, and have now invented ‘mental illness’ to whitewash the Truth – that’s what l call real lnsanity.

    Robert Spencer said: “And this sort of thing happens so often that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should consider adding “Islamic jihad” as a mental illness to its next edition.”

    Brilliant, Robert! Amazingly, sufficient evidence exists to validate inclusion of “jihadphrenia” in the next DSM revision. Indeed, this mental disorder is so widespread that Western investigative agencies immediately determine Islamic perpetrators to be experiencing symptoms that erupt in episodes of unexplained stabbing, shooting, beheading, drowning, burning alive, stoning, and raping, to name but a few. Meanwhile, those brave few who staunchly and publicly identify and address the obvious origins of these various symptoms are labeled as “Islamophobic,” a term conjured up — with no supporting evidence — to transfer blame to the victim.

    What a dilemma! So many imagined provocations . . . so little time. APA, update the DSM now!

    “Muslims must kill non-muslims unless they convert to Islam.”
    Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt

  13. Michael Copeland says

    May 10, 2016 at 3:18 pm

    The reason why “so many people worldwide are being taught that killing ‘infidels’ is okay” is because that is basic Islamic doctrine. It is not an aberration.

    Islam is additionally dangerous because it changes so many normal mentally ill people into murderous Jihadists.

    “…but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have also been inspired by jihadist propaganda videos.”

    Exactly! Your comment was much as I would have said, but you saved me the effort, and you were probably more articulate than I would have been.

    I would like to add that Robert has provided a valuable service by gathering the data presenting this nucleo of research that probably doesn’t exist anywhere. It is a valuable resource for someone who would like to examine this phenomenon.

    There is a branch of psychiatry that studies the “religiously insane”, though I doubt that’s the wording they would use. I wonder if they have added data such as Robert has collected to their resource list. Religious insanity is very dangerous because it provides absolute rationalization for actions that could not be rationalized without invoking a divine mandate.

    Problem is, what is the difference between the religiously insane and ISIS? Then when you consider that, what is the difference between the religiously insane and Wahhabism, the Islamic school that gave birth to groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS? Then extending that line of thought, what is the difference between the religiously insane and any pious Muslim? “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen in Alice in Wonderland. “When I … Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

    Islam is a beacon to the world — come to us, We will endorse your tribal hatreds, endorse your ignorant anti-Semite beliefs, support your Jihadist terrorism and send you to a Holy End.

    Islam is a mental illness all by itself.

  17. rappini says

    May 11, 2016 at 9:29 am

    I can’t believe they let this $hit continue. They should quarantine every Muslim until they assimilate.
