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

German bishop: Axe attack by Muslim migrant screaming “Allahu akbar” “cannot be understood”

Jul 19, 2016 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

By you, maybe, Bishop Hofmann. But sane people see quite clearly what is happening. When a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and affiliated with the Islamic State attacks non-Muslims with an axe, it’s just another episode in the global jihad against Infidels. And contrary to the fond hopes and fantasies that prevail in the Vatican, and in the Catholic Church in general these days, no amount of “dialogue” is going to end this jihad that Hofmann and his ilk so determinedly ignore.

FriedHofmann

“Bishop of Würzburg left ‘speechless’ after axe attack on train passengers,” Catholic Herald, July 19, 2016:

The Bishop of Würzburg said he had been left “speechless” by the axe attack on a train the city on Monday.

Three people from Hong Kong were seriously hurt and another was slightly injured in the axe and knife attack by a 17-year-old Afghan refugee, who was subsequently shot dead by police. A further 14 people were treated for shock.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, with the claim posted on the group’s Aamaq news agency on Tuesday.

The news agency described the teenager as an ISIS “fighter” who “carried out the operation in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State”.

It has been reported that the teenager shouted “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”) and that an ISIS flag was found in his room.

A statement was released on behalf of Bishop Friedhelm Hofmann in which he said, “One is speechless at such a moment. This fact can not be understood.”

In the statement, the bishop said he would pray for all those injured and affected by the attack.

“I especially want to thank all those who have intervened in this difficult situation yesterday and helped, including the police and the rescue services,” he added.

Bishop Hofmann warned against placing all asylum seekers under general suspicion of carrying out attacks. “Maybe we need to help the unaccompanied young refugees even more and help them to overcome their own traumas,” he said.

    Maybe he has forgotten:
    Love always protects.

    • Lynette says

      Jul 20, 2016 at 3:18 am

      Love does not protect!! Love does not make any difference to these brainwashed people. The bishop needs to have his head read too! Evidence abounds in thousands of truthful reports coming from around the globe, just read and remember! Read the evil koran and read for yourself,What moHAMmaad, the koran and imans etc preaches. More violence and cruelty comes from the koran and the mosques, madrasses etc.
      Ask yourself who is always to the fore in any of the world atrocities, muslims, never christians, or any other churches, which countries are perpetrating the atrocities, muslim countries, who burns people alive, muslims, who beheads people, muslims, who kills people over cartoons, muslims etc, etc. Deluded psychopaths.

      I believe those Bacha Boys (Dancing Boys) were on the US GOV pay, where they were officially called “Bowling Boys”. When BO’s military left the Mideast, the “Bowling Boys” asked for Visas to come to US or other Western Countries.

        …………………………….

        What *sickening* calumny. It has been, in fact, US soldiers who have *opposed* this vile Islamic pedophilia.

        *Muslims* have been abusing these boys, *not* Westerners. The idea that it was Americans who invented Bacha Bazi–which goes back centuries in the Muslim world, and comes from a Persian word for “Boy Play”–actually was invented in the past few years by Americans and actually means “Bowling Boys” is just ludicrous.

        There is no doubt that Bishop Hofmann is a willfully naïve fool–but to claim that he is ignoring Jihad because he wants to sexually abuse Muslim boys is just grotesque.

        There *is* an epidemic of rape and pedophilia in Europe now–but it is *not* Infidels abusing Muslims; instead, it is Muslims raping and abusing the Kuffar:

          I agree it is very bad, but one shouldn’t loose one’s sense of proportion forgetting the one million (1 000 000) assaulted and slaughtered babies each year in the U.S. It’s a vile, repulsive and grievous image projected by this nation to the rest of the world.

          No religion in the world except Islam asks its follows to die for their god, and no other religion in the world asks its followers to give those different the choice of ALLAH OR DEATH. We may kill the unborn in this country, and it is wrong, but Mubarak and his friends kill the living, enslave the living, and make the living wish they were dead.

    Bishop Hofmann is a fool, how could anyone respect this Cleric, his love for Islam is seen in his intense expression on his face. The Bishop has joined with the Faux Pope who compared Isis to Jesus Christ. Two pompous old fools, Pope Francis & Bishop Hofmann.

      To be fair, it really is difficult for those of us who believe in a good God and that people are created in God’s image to “understand” these atrocities.
      I guess it is these words of Jesus he has forgotten:
      Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.

    Jul 19, 2016 at 1:59 pm

    One of the ten commandments of the church prohibits the bearing of false witness. If the reverse were true, if a German national took an axe to a group of Muslim immigrants, would the bishop profess his complete bafflement as to motive? Of course not. Hypocrite.

    Clearly the bastard was a “not true muslim” who believed in the “islamophobic” version of islam propagated by “islamophobes” and ISIS… /sarc. off

    Bishop Hofmann warned against placing all asylum seekers under general suspicion of carrying out attacks.

    Well, perhaps Bishop Hoffman can tell us how to distinguish jihadis from non-jihadis. Heck, better yet – muslims from non-muslims, seeing how ISIS is telling its members to hide their religion.

      He’s just SO worried Germans might now “discriminate” against the THOUSANDS of other poor “underaged” migrants living in their country.

      He’s not so worried about what these “boys” might do next to his fellow Germans.

    Jul 19, 2016 at 2:07 pm

    If only he were really left speechless. And mute.

    Never can it be Islam, no matter what the Muslim tells you, it’s psychological trauma, a lack of hugs from childhood, and most of all, “anti-Muslim, anti-refugee bigotry”.

    What cannot be understood about this?
    “A video released by ISIS claims to show him (the 17-year old) delivering a speech in Pashto to the camera while holding a knife. The video calls him ‘a soldier of the Islamic State who carried out the Wurzburg attack’.

    The video appears to show Muhammad Riyad saying he would ‘slaughter infidels’ with the knife he holds up to the camera.

    He says: “I am a soldier of the caliphate and I am going to carry out an suicide attack in Germany {*he probably did not term it ‘suicide’}

    “That time is over now. Now the Islamic Caliphate has been established in Iraq, Al-Sham, Khorosan, Libya and Yemen and Allah Willing, soldiers of the caliphate will get you.

    “They will slaughter you in your own back yard and they will live in your houses and break your rules and take your land. We will target you in every village, every city and every airport Allah Willing.”

      It’s not the first time and everyone knows that–unless they really don’t pay attention at all.
      The Church is putting an unfair burden on us: not to suspect them all. Fear is given to us for a reason: to sustain life.
      The increasing news of slaughter and maiming of innocents is heart-wrenching. Even if we actually acknowledged the war that has been declared on us, these would all be war crimes.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 19, 2016 at 3:30 pm

      You are right–it was hardly the first attack on a train–remember the foiled attack on a train in France? And then, there were the bombings in London and in Madrid. Trains have, in fact, been frequent targets for Jihad.

      As the kindly German Bishop said it is unexplainable but remember what the Lord said “love thy neighbor as thyself” and they truly believe God is Great because they always say it in Arabic just before cut someones head off.
      Mrs Merkel cares deeply about these people.She is a holy pious woman who is happy to give them a home paid by the generous European mugs (sorry I meant people!!!)

    Anyone who attacks with “Allahu akbar” warcry is a jihadi / islmic terrorist ,

    He need not be an IS member, for there are too many jihadi groups from Philippines to Turkey.

  18. Hindu American says

    Jul 19, 2016 at 3:07 pm

    Unbelievable.

    So here are the facts:

    1. Attacker is a muslim. Check.
    2. Attacker is a recent migrant from Afghanistan. Check.
    3. Attacker used an ax to injure 3 people in a train and is subsequently shot dead. Check.
    4. Attacker shouts Allahu akbar while wielding that ax. Check.
    5. ISIS claims him as one of their own. Check.
    6. ISIS claims the Afghan carried out the operation in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State. Check.
    7. German police shoots the Afghan dead. Check.

    So, despite all these facts, the good Bishop is still perplexed, nay confused, about the true motives of the attacker. The Bishop even goes on to suggest that more help be provided to the unaccompanied young refugees to overcome their own traumas. Perhaps the authorities should book the afghan for ticketless travel.

    It is people like this Bishop, back in ’30s, who probably thought that the short failed Austrian artist with a funny mustache, anger management issues and troubled family background be tried out and given a chance to run the affairs of their chaotic country.

    What could go wrong?

    • Paulina says

      Jul 20, 2016 at 3:36 am

      One more important fact:

      8. Attacker’s name is Mohammed. Checked

      The name of the man who attacked a mother and her three daughters is Muhammad and the name of the Nice attacker is also Muhammad. So, if three facts are present; Mohammad, Allahu Akbar, and Muslim, it is definitely a jihad attack.

    “Bishop Hofmann warned against placing all asylum seekers under general suspicion of carrying out attacks.”

    As “Tanto” stated — in the movie, “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”: “They’re all bad … until they’re not.”

    “Maybe we need to help the unaccompanied young refugees even more and help them to overcome their own traumas . . . ”

    Maybe we need first to help the victims of these Islamic savages and assist the victims in their uphill battle to overcome their bloody traumas inflicted by devout Muslims. Then, we can address the “traumas” of these Islamic beasts: hardships associated with failure to be recognized and treated as “the best of people;” hardships incurred due to prohibitions against murder, rape, theft, deceit, intolerance, slavery, greed, etc.; and hardships experienced by gratuities that only provide free food, free clothing, free housing, free education, free transportation, etc.

    No one can take this Bishop seriously. Let’s hope that he remains “speechless.”

      Liberalism has too narrow a frame of reference. It’s like a child practicing middle C, and trying to pretend the other notes in the scale (of which it has heard) do not exist. That doesn’t stop them existing, and being played. A wise child realises that he knows very little – I wish our politicians, media, and religious “leaders” were as wise.

    “Help them to overcome their own traumas”. How can you help them overcome a life of brainwashing under Islam?

    Seriously though, I would expect that refugees should be put directly into detention and put through anti-brainwashing if they want to remain in the country. Of course there would be no compulsion, but if they don’t fully accept the condition, then they do not gain entrance to Europe. They get sent back wherever they came from. In this detention camp, they would receive regular language and academic classes with a very heavy emphasis on deprogramming them. Anybody who wants to can quit at any point, but they get sent back if they do.

    We should employ well educated groups of ex-Muslims who managed to overcome their own brainwashing to conduct the deprogramming classes. In the end, the ones that make it through the two year course are dispersed among the population, rather than be allowed to settle in areas heavily populated by Muslim immigrants. The successful new citizens will receive regular follow ups and annual refresher courses, and the best will graduate to render the same service to other Muslim immigrants as “professional deprogrammers”.

      That is actually quite logical…’Experts on radicalization, ex-muslims etc., interview all people in the ‘refugee’ centers. Assessments are made on all of them, extensive psychological testing etc. Classes on the countries laws, respect for the laws. Whoever shows an inclination for any kind of Sharia – deported they go!

      Muslims who harass Christians or others in any way – deported!

      I do not understand why Europe does not do this.

      We should be giving asylum to those who actually believe in free speech, and are in danger of death.

    Don’t be so naive bishop! Do you ever wonder why the majority of emigrates are “the unaccompanied young refugees”. These unaccompanied young refugees have been programmed to kill you and all of us by these “unaccompanied young refugees”

    Repeating again so listen up to ABSOLUTE facts: “programmed to kill you and all of us by these unaccompanied young refugees”

    ABSOLUTE: last time I read the dictionary the definition for ABSOLUTE means > proof of evidence!

    NO, the word ABSOLUTE is not obsolete, it has never has been, it has been redacted though by those that want the word to be masked; by the very ones that posse a maligned LIBERAL MINDSET like bishop!!!

    “The good Bishop cannot understand…”

    The Bishop needs to get my mindset; That is whenever I hear on the news of a pointless act of violence, particularly in Europe my suspicions are immediately awakened. I then go straight to Jihad Watch to find out if this same crime involves Islam, I am usually right.

    Now if this same good Bishop starts quoting scripture about us all being the family of God or even loving ones enemies he should be reminded of the many scriptures that warn us of false prophets or even the anti-Christ. The Scriptures also have a lot to say about wolves in sheep’s clothing. He should also be reminded that Muslims basically worship a god of fear and darkness, certainly not the God of Christianity.

    A new video from David Wood:

    Afghan Refugee Muhammad Riyad Goes on Slashing Spree on German Train

    • Cecilia Ellis says

      Jul 19, 2016 at 9:40 pm

      Eduardo, thank you so much for posting this video. David Wood is a prime example of those who superbly exercise that enviable ability to combine scholarship, humor and current jihad events into an informative, irrefutable and entertaining exposure of core Islam. This video adds the backdrop of the lunacy of political correctness, denial and willful straining to distort or evade the truth. Brilliant, David!

        David Wood, like Robert Spencer and Raymond Ibrahim, is a breath of fresh air in an atmosphere full of lies and nonsense. That bishop, along with Cardinal Woelki, is an idiot. Like far too many Catholic bishops these days. My cat has more nous than this silly man.

      Bishop Hofmann watched David’s video, but he’s not sure what David’s point is. Bishop Hofmann warned against placing all jihadis under general suspicion of carrying out attacks.

    I was told just yesterday that “Allah Ackbar” means “Nothing to do with iSlam.”

      And these twerps still live in denial, even after 15 years of listening to them scream Allah Akbar”, and the fact they’ve been doing it for centuries before 9/11.

      • LR says

        Jul 20, 2016 at 11:48 am

        Here is an article on ‘Allahu Akbar’.

        Just wondering how those who study Islam and know Arabic would respond to this.

        • LR says

          Jul 20, 2016 at 11:50 am

          Oops….

          https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/04/20/arabic-can-sound-scary-when-your-only-exposure-to-it-comes-from-stories-about-terrorism/

        • Angemon says

          Jul 20, 2016 at 2:10 pm

          I don’t know arabic, but I’d respond to it the same way I respond to anyone defending anything with dictionary definitions: when was the last time they heard “fagot” and thought of a a bundle of sticks, twigs, or branches bound together, or heard “fag” and thought of weariness of a cigarette, or heard “gay” and though of someone being merry or happy? While some words can have more than one meaning and at least one of those meanings has a positive connotation, that doesn’t excuse/erases the meanings with a negative connotation. What, a football player shouting “allahu akbar” to celebrate a goal is supposed to make me overlook the fact that jihadis shout “allahu akbar” while torturing and murdering non-muslims?

          Oh, and the naivety of that teacher is cringe-worthy and breathtaking. She simply trusts whatever their students say despite, as she attested, she couldn’t find any corroboration to it – what a useful idiot. She also writes “This beautiful language should be spoken in public more, not less, to avoid misunderstandings“. Very well. Perhaps she should go to Nice or Germany and tell the survivors of the recent jihad attacks that they need not fear the cry “allahu akbar”.

          I don’t know if I would constitute someone who would qualify, but it sounds scary based on context.

          The ax attacker wanted to state that the deity he worshipped was glorified by the violence he committed.

          If someone says that the deity that they worship is glorified by a sermon or something, I’m pretty sure that would be a different context, and people who hear it in a context like that would feel differently about it.

          The article mentions a thing about the plane incident, although I am pretty sure it’s reference to “Shahid” should be plural, as in “shahada”, which might sound more similar if the person who reported him wasn’t listening to the consonants properly.

          Honestly, I think we can learn that someone would not speak about terrorist violence so publically, so obviously.

    If you’re too stupid to get a job running the heat lamp at MacDonald’s, then maybe you have what it takes to be Bishop of Würzburg.

    Lets send him an Arab to English translation book.

    • jamesmi says

      Jul 21, 2016 at 9:46 am

      Or a video of

      “Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles
      Ueber alles in der Welt”

      being sung at a neo-Nazi rally. He would have no difficulty making connections then. But when the subject is Islam, a ton of evidence isn’t enough to persuade these people that a criminal had Islam as his motive. But if there can be no evidence that Islam is the cause of something bad, how can there be evidence that Nazism is the cause of anything bad ? If no amount of evidence is enough to show that Islam is evil, why is some evidence enough to show that Nazism, or Communism, is evil ? He is inconsistent and irrational – one cannot indefinitely deny that Islam causes evil behaviour, without committing intellectual and moral suicide.

  41. UriahB says

    Or is it Arab to German? Jeez, all this love from the islamists have me confused.

    This bishop as some others pacifist hierarchs must get back to the history books and recall what islam did since 632 AD. These bishop is just a lousy moron and a stupid naiv just to use the right words.
    He is like the bishop of Colon and the italian bishop who asked Catholics to donate money to erect a next door mosque.
    These bishops are a plague for the true faith and they are they are the smoke of Satan into the Church.
    I am sick and tired of these nuts.

    Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Someone wiser than I said this…

    I see three things happening:

    1) The globalists have an agenda to get us all to embrace the dangerous myth of multi-culturalism. Why? Possibly to orchestrate societal upheaval so that the masses won’t fight against globalist interests that are busy investing in technology that will replace 50% of the world population’s jobs in the next 50 years or so.

    2) Our history of struggling against the evils of Islam is either suppressed, or rewritten until it has more the flavor of a Disney movie (yeah, my kids are not allowed to watch Avalor… it is clearly propagandized).

    3) We are bombarded with pop culture news that keeps the masses hypnotized enough that they are too busy to think and read for themselves; end goal of which is to get everyone to swallow and digest this bullsnot politically correct narrative.

    There is very little illiteracy in the civilized world, and yet how much do you want to bet that this Bishop has never bothered to read any of the Koran or Hadith, himself?

    Without fail, when I end up offending someone by telling them about the dangers of Islam, the other person has never read even a tiny bit of their texts for themselves — though they have the world at their fingertips with the internet and can read perfectly well…

    Blows my mind (in a bad way).

    It’s odd, Christian clerics used to understand the concept of Evil and the fight between Good and Evil. It seems that nowadays they are so overcome with “Love,Love, Love” that they do not recognize Evil when they are staring it in the face!

    Professional priests…
    The priesthood is religious welfare for those educated beyond their intelligence, but incapable of having a real job……
    Full tine priest is a cushy job,,,Free food, lodging and medical care,,,
    A costume is provided to inspire awe in the weak…,
    The Islamic priesthood is not exempt…

    The bishop is like the weather forecaster while staring at his computer screen claims it’s sunny out but if he would but stick his head out the window into the pouring rain would quickly learn the truth.

    I am at a loss to understand that why some clergy of the Catholic Church talk nonsense. Then I look back and see the Pope being no different. Washing of the feet comes to mind.
    I am Catholic

    • jamesmi says

      Jul 21, 2016 at 10:01 am

      I’m Catholic too, and I’m not going to stop calling bishops and cardinals morons when they act like morons. I blame Vatican 2 and Paul VI for a lot of this rubbish: Vatican 2, because two of its documents contain passages that suck up to Islam without saying a word of criticism of it; and Paul VI, because he did a great deal to weaken the CC’s resistance to Mo’s death-cult. The present Pope gets a lot of things right IMHO, but his over-kindness to Islam is probably a result of the lunatic attitude the CC now has to Islam.

    German bishop: Axe attack by Muslim migrant screaming “Allahu akbar” “cannot be understood”. HE WOULDN’T HAVE SAID THAT IF THE AXE WAS STUCK TO HIS STUPID MOUTH.
