What does a jihadi have to do to get credit these days? If screaming “Allahu akbar” isn’t enough to make his motive clear, what is? Would he have to drop his knife and announce: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did”? No, a convert to Islam named Edward Archer said that after he shot and seriously wounded police officer Jesse Hartnett, and the Mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, responded: “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen….It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings. This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”
In sum, there is absolutely nothing that will convince today’s authorities that an Islamic jihad terrorist is indeed an Islamic jihad terrorist. They just refuse to believe such a person could exist. In this case, German authorities are saying that the perpetrator was mentally ill and drug-addicted. He had a German name and was not a migrant. Very well. Why do so many mentally ill people act out their mental illness in this same way? Maybe this man was a convert to Islam. That he was mentally ill and drug addicted does not in the least preclude the possibility that he converted: he wouldn’t be the first psychically marginal person to find a validation for his violent rage in Islam’s doctrine of jihad. If authorities have no record of his conversion, that doesn’t mean he didn’t convert, or simply identify with the warriors of jihad. The ineluctable fact remains that there is no record of any non-Muslim ever screaming “Allahu akbar” while committing acts of violence. The denial and willful ignorance of German authorities, and authorities all over the West, is suicidal, as it precludes any honest and thorough assessment of the problem that the global jihad poses.
“Knifeman kills one at Munich station; no evidence of Islamist motive,” by Joern Poltz and Jens Hack [Hack indeed], Reuters, May 10, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):
MUNICH (Reuters) – A man stabbed four people at a train station near Munich early on Tuesday, killing one and injuring three in an attack a senior politician said did not appear to be politically motivated.
Police earlier said they were checking witness statements that the alleged assailant, a 27-year-old man who was under arrest and the only suspect, shouted “Allahu Akbar” (‘God is Greatest’ in Arabic).
Close. It’s “Allah is greater.”
But Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said he had received no indications that the man had a migrant background, telling reporters: “So far there are no findings that are relevant for state security.”
He said the man had shown up in a different part of Germany a few days ago, suspected of using drugs and exhibiting behavior suggesting he might be mentally disturbed.
Bavarian radio said he used a knife with a 10 cm (4 inch) blade in the apparently indiscriminate attack, which took place around 5 a.m. (0300 GMT) in Grafing, a commuter town about 32 km (20 miles) southeast of the Bavarian capital in southern Germany.
One victim, a 50-year-old, died of stab wounds in hospital shortly after the attack. Police said three other men aged between 43 and 58 were injured, with Bavarian radio saying one was seriously hurt….

What these do goody dupes don’t seem to realize, is that by saying there’s no islamist connection, they are in fact declaring that any and all muslims, converts and sympathisers, are potential murderers.
I know there are plenty here who agree with that, but still…
SBJ says
So called, good muslims [snark] that remain quiet, are irrelevant. Their silence is a sign of consent.

Agreed – no demonstrations by ‘moderate’ muslims protesting against the violence being committed in their name!

Not yet.

Angemon says
The media is compromised. Merkel was caught talking with Zuckerberg about censoring FB posts critical of Germany’s “migration” “policy”. It’s not as hard of a thing to do as it may seem, even in this age of information. Get the big news media outlets to parrot your line (all justified with good intentions, of course, like, for example, not “discriminate” against a group or to avoid fostering “right-wing” “extremism”), add in the biggest social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and you’re pretty much good to go. You don’t need to control ALL media outlets or social media, you just need to get the biggest ones on your side, then you can dismiss any opposing voices as “bigots”, “racists”, “extremists”, etc.
Were it not for alternative media we’d still be under the impression that New Year’s Eve in Cologne was “playful” and “peaceful”, and that anyone saying otherwise was just a “racist bigoted islamophobe” blowing one or two incidents (which are bound to happen in any large event) out of proportion.
SBJ says
FB in itself does not report anything. it’s the links you follow that do and they all have independent websites with comments, as well as pages on FB.

mortimer says
Germans should be well-prepared to understand the delusional dream-world of Islam, since Nazism was so similar to it. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann should get it. He should drop the political correctness and shielding Islam from criticism. Jihadists don’t carry membership cards.
What is the evidence that the Grafing stabber was mentally ill? What is the evidence that Auschwitz guards were mentally ill? Auschwitz guards were mostly ordinary people asked to work for the government. A jihadist is a pious Muslim who has learned the jihad doctrine and obligation of warfare against disbelievers. To Muslims, all German taxpayers are dirty kafirs who support the German army and don’t deserve to live because they think Mohammed is a false prophet.
Some of the most believing Muslims may be drug dealers or users. Their faith in the jihad doctrine is profound.
The Grafing stabber used the ‘argument of the sword’ which says, ‘Believe Islam is the religion of peace’ or we’ll kill you.’ The fallacious ‘argument of the sword’ is the only argument of Islam, since Islam cannot be defended historically, morally or philosophically. Nazism also could not be defended ethically or philosophically for similar reasons. Both ideologies are based on subjectivity, but that does not make the followers ‘insane’.
Myxlplik says
I’m surprised that the press hasn’t blamed this on theeBay auction yet. Perhaps they will if the drugs and mental illness proves to be a dead end.
Of course Jihad will never be considered.
DFD says
Myxlplik says: “… mental illness proves to be a dead end….”
Hi Myxlplik,
I beg to differ. With Islam mental illness can NEVER be a dead end – ’cause that’s what Islam is. Agreed?
Myxlplik says
I agree, the scientific analysis given to us from years of research by Nicolai Sennes more than suggests a direct link between Islam and mental illness.

linnte says
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhrrr! I can’t STAND it! Surely PEDIGA is paying attention. And summer isn’t quite here yet. It’s almost like these Jihadis have an implanted brain device that is set to go off at different intervals to get the public numbed to this type of terrorism. Once the public becomes indifferent, (the police seem to be already)then all those young Jihadis will act together. War will begin!
Nuria says
Ludicrous as this “nothing to do with islam” business might seem, the fact remains that mainstream media is accomplishing a very relevant objective, namely that of keeping the vast majority of the population a) blindfolded as to the true nature of the islamic menace or b) keeping lots of people who would otherwise dare to speak up against this threat duly censored and silenced.
I started researching islam about 6 years ago, always amateurishly. Even so I persevered and gained an amount of knowledge concerning this evil ideology which, modest though it is, is above average for sure, at least where I live, Spain. But to accomplish that required a lot of hard work and a willingness to be shocked, horrified as well as forgetting about PC nonsense on my part.
On learning about today’s incident in Munich, I mentioned it non chalantly at my workplace this morning, when the news became known, in order to gauge the general reaction: it was the same everywhere, and the same as usual: looks of fear, with a splash of well-hidden indignation, but no comment of any sort, lest it could be deemed offensive or, God forbid, racist.
Things have to get much, much worse for anything to change at all. Even then, I doubt anything much would happen. As long as our basic needs are covered, we Europeans will learn to co-exist with danger – it’s amazing how the human psyche adapts. Only when our own children are directly under threat will something begin to happen; it is one of the paradoxes of the welfare society we’ve managed to create that it has made us soft and powerless, incredibly weak against violence and evil. But if freedom, democracy and the values we take pride in must prevail, we’d better learn, sooner rather than later, that fighting and bloodshed are a necessary part of the deal. Otherwise, I have no doubt we will walk into that dark night, the only doubt being whether it will be gently or with a bang.
Rufolino says
Interesting reflections Nuria. I’m feeling, more and more, that most Europeans will be happy to go into that dark night gently. Political correctness is acting like cannabis on people’s perceptions, we have (most of us) become semi-conscious about what is actually going on, greatly assisted by the mendacious media of the Left (which is beautifully exemplified by the reporting of this story).
Nuria says
Totally agree with you, Rufolino. There are still quite a few people out there who are perceptive enough to be aware of what’s actually going on, that I am sure about. However, they are quickly becoming a minority and many of them do not dare to speak up for fear of reprisals or, quite simply, because they don’t see it’s going to make a difference at all.
Eur says
Hola Nuria, yo llevo tiempo muy preocupado por este tema. Echa un vistazo a esto, quizás ya lo hayas leído. Busca en Google por estos conceptos y te lleva hasta un PDF. IBN WARRAQ. POR QUÉ NO SOY. MUSULMÁN
Lo que está pasando en Europa y concretamente en España es gravisimo, hemos puesto en peligro la paz social y la libertad que es lo mejor de nuestra sociedad, no así el dinero. El islam desprec ia la libertad,los mamarroquies vienen a España buscando dinero pero no aceptan la convivencia. Para ellos con obtener el dni ya está, ya son ciudadanos… Y qué grave error es eso, es un suicidio cultural, demográfico, democrático… No les cuesta obtener el dni y no lo valoran, solamente para exigir derechos. Hay musulmanes pacíficos pero sin duda si no fuera gracias a la policía y servicios de inteligencia las matanzas serían diarias. Se les detiene por yihadistas por decenas cada mes y lo mismo en el resto de Europa. El salafismo gusta y llenan sus mezquitas, están casi todos en esa línea y los momentos salafistas no son muy distintos, aspiran a implantar la ley islámica por el peso demográfico. Gente inculta que no quiere cultivarse, que prohíben mezclarse, no se casan con no musulmanes y eso es gravisimo, ¿no lo vemos? Tenemos el fascismo delante de nuestras narices y la mayoría seguramente por condescendencia no lo quiere reconocer. El islam es un cuerpo extraño en Europa, un tumor, una ideología totalitaria que amenaza con acabar con todo. Criticamos todo, debatimos entre todos los temas.. Pero este es tabú… ¿Por que? Pque el islam mata,por miedo y ese miedo es lo que alimenta al islam y hace que nuestra libertad mengue. Somos unos suicidas hqbiendo permitido entrar a millones de personas pro teocraticas a Europa.. y encima permitiendo abrir centros coranicos y demás fascistadas. El islam no es una religión ynmucho menos una igual o equivalente. No busca convivir, busca imperar ,someter y legislar. No nos confundamos ,la libertad ha sido muy cara de obtener y la estamos tirando por el retrete permitiendo entrar a esta ideología fascista lobotomizadora. La policía sola no puede, los políticos deben legislar y la gente, periodistas… Hablar libremente sin temores ni complejos. Para otros temas no hay complejos, para el islam si.
Nuria says
Eur, has descrito la situación en España o el resto de Europa a la perfección. Y, en el caso de España, el debate acerca de este tema ni siquiera ha empezado comparado con el nivel de discurso de otros países donde llevan con el problema mucho más tiempo. Un saludo.
Eur, you have perfectly described the current state of affairs both in Spain and the rest of Europe for that matter. As far as Spain is concerned, public debate on this topic hasn’t even started if we compare it with the levels reached in other countries which have been enduring the problem for much longer. Cheers.

Robert Spencer asks: “What does a jihadi have to do to get credit these days?…”
Answer based on a conversation
between a Muslim and a western liberal:
——————————————————
Muslim: We did this because the holy Koran and the Prophet exhort us to such Islamic deeds and actions – Allah-u-Akbar!
Liberal: No, you didn’t.
Muslim: Wait, what? Yes we did… What are you saying?
Liberal: No, this has nothing to do with your peaceful religion. You are just using your religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons.
Muslim: What!? Did you even read our official statement? We gave explicit Koranic justification. This is jihad, a holy war against you! You pagans, blasphemers, disbelievers and atheists.
Liberal: No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You people are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.
Muslim: What? Who are you to tell us we’re not true Muslims? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest, most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for existence. We are acting according to the Koran, the Sunnah and the Hadith.
Liberal: Nope. You are deluded, we created you. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that’s why you did this. We’re sorry for having done so, we are sorry for our past.
Muslim: Are you out of your mind? Why are you apologizing? We just slaughtered you mercilessly in the streets. Killing and mutilating unwitting civilians — disenfranchisement doesn’t even enter into it!
Liberal: No, no, it’s our fault. We don’t blame you for feeling unwelcome, and lashing out against our injustice, our lack of accommodating you, and our disrespect for your rights.
Muslim: Seriously, stop taking credit for this! We worked really hard to pull this off, and we’re not going to let you take that away from us.
Liberal: No, we nourished your extremism. We accept full blame.
Muslim: By Allah! How many people do we have to kill around here to get our message across?
Raja says
DFD,,
Thanks for the supposed conversation, This is also reality of today Everyone being sorry to would be killers should read this. I think it is called being moronic.
Bob says
I can imagine it – the muslim stabs the Reuter’s chief, and as the chief collapses, pouring blood from his wounds, he forgives the muslim saying, ” I forgive you – you must be a moderate muslim whom we wicked uncaring kafurs have offended. “
DockyWocky says
No evidence German train islamist had an islamist motive?
“So long, it was nice to know you.” I am kissing Germany goodbye, as they have now joined all the other deluded fools and deluded governments in the farcical conclusions that there was NO ISLAMIST MOTIVE behind the whack-job who killed on and wounded others while screaming “allahu akbar,” or some other Buddhist slogan at the top of his lungs.
Come on now there just has to be some ulterior motive behind all this denial on the part of these supposedly normal Germanic folks. You are setting all these islamic nutters for the KILL, right?
Raja says
Being politically correct is not being truthful. As long as truth is evasive Islam will crouch with more murders. We have coined new terms like diplomatic lie and so on. Actually these are taking away from the truth. It is the corruption of the world that is helping Islam to push its evil deeds and agenda of global hegemony especially in the West, OZ and NZ
World over most terrorists organisations have fought for independence but in Islam the order is reverse. May be very few see the subjugation process of Islam.
Some golden words on Islam:
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country/region/city they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness: Nation % Muslim United States 1.0% Australia 1.5% Italy 1.5% Norway 1.8% Canada 1.9% China 2.0% At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs: Nation % Muslim Denmark 2.0% United Kingdom 2.7% Germany 3.7% Spain 4.0% Thailand 4.6% From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States). Nation % Muslim Switzerland 4.3% Philippines 5.0% Sweden 5.0% The Netherlands 5.5% Trinida and Tabago 5.8% France 8.0% At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons). Nation % Muslim Guyana 10.0% India 13.4% Israel 16.0% Kenya 10.0% Russia 15.0% After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: Nation % Muslim Ethiopia 32.8% At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare: Nation % Muslim Bosnia 40.0% Chad 50.1% Lebanon 59.7% From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels: Nation % Muslim Albania 70.0% Malaysia 60.4% Qatar 77.5% Sudan 70.0% After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide: Nation % Muslim Bangladesh 83.0% Egypt 90.0% Gaza 98.7% Indonesia 86.1% Iran 98.0% Iraq 97.0% Jordan 92.0% Morocco 98.7% Pakistan 97.0% Syria 90.0% Tajikistan 90.0% Turkey 99.8% United Arab Emirates 96.0% 100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: Nation % Muslim Yemen 99.9% Afghanistan 100.0% Saudi Arabia 100.0% Somalia 100.0% Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons like dogs.

Jerry says
They actually have a point there:
After all, Mohammad himself was committing atrocities not really because he was a Muslim but because he was simply a criminal warlord inventing religious pretext to justify his robbery and mayhem plundering at first mainly desert caravans and later capturing and destroying whole communities – villages, towns and cities including genocide against whole tribes plundering their possessions and murdering most or all of their man and taking all females and “unblemished” male toddlers as sex slaves, first to ravish and later to sell some.
Allahu Kakbaar!
