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

Germany: Muslim migrant who stabbed non-Muslims urged Muslims to murder apostates; authorities search for motive

Jul 19, 2016 2:37 pm By Robert Spencer

“The perpetrator of the stabbing attack in Germany was one of the fighters of the Islamic State and carried out the operation in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State.”

“Speaking on German public television, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said it was too early to speculate about the motives of the attacker.”

This willful ignorance in the middle of a war endangers us all.

Muhammad Riyad

“German train attacker urged Muslims to kill apostates in pre-attack video,” Reuters, July 19, 2016:

Islamic State posted a video on Tuesday in which a man whom it identifies as the Afghan refugee who attacked passengers with an axe on a train in Germany vows to carry out a suicide mission and urges other Muslims to do the same.

In the two minute and 20 second video, entitled “Germany – Video of the Islamic State Soldier Muhammad Riyad Who Carried out the Wuerzburg Attack”, a young man wields a small knife, which he says he will use to slaughter infidels and avenge the deaths of men, women and children in Muslim countries.

It was not immediately possible to verify that the man in the video was the train attacker. The video was posted by Islamic State’s news agency, Amaq.

Islamic State claimed responsibility earlier in the day for the attack by the axe-wielding Afghan refugee, according to its online Amaq news agency.

“The perpetrator of the stabbing attack in Germany was one of the fighters of the Islamic State and carried out the operation in answer to the calls to target the countries of the coalition fighting the Islamic State,” the statement said.

Speaking on German public television, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said it was too early to speculate about the motives of the attacker, who had wielded an axe and a knife, and whether he was a member of an Islamist group or had become self-radicalized in recent times….

    The motive is pretty simple. He’s a Jihadi who wanted to murder infidels in cold blood. Political correctness and self-enforced stupidity will be the death of the West.

    Play soccor? You die. Are you gay? You die. Are you a Christian, Jew, Hindu, Atheist, Budhist? You die. Drink vodka? You die. Have I covered it?

    It’s becoming more difficult to even see the whole, “We are launching a full scale investigation into ascertaining a possible motive”.

    It’s literally causing physical nausea at this point, as there are so many attacks now I don’t even remember them all anymore.

      Jul 19, 2016 at 4:24 pm

      Tv shows extra about that poor young man – what made him do this etc – NOBODY got the balls to say : cos he was a Muslim sent here to kill !

      Trump in the US only names it and that’s why German media make fun about him 🙁

      • Myxlplik says

        Jul 19, 2016 at 4:42 pm

        Our media is really bad too as well in the U.S. About 5 years ago I had to cancel my cable tv subscription, because I just couldn’t justify supporting the propaganda killing us, and also I must admit to finding it upsetting and I was starting to fear for the safety of my television.

    It’s Trumps fault.

    It’s global warming fault.

    It’s the fault of Germans from 200 years ago.

    It’s anybody’s fault except Islam.

        It’s awefuly interesting how Obama is not “searching for root” causes for BLM killing police.

        In this case, what people say is what they mean. BLM kills because police are mean to them. End of story, Obama accepts it as fact immediately.

        When a white person (right wing crazy) does something he’s never searching endlessly for root causes either.

        When it’s Islam he always needs to “interpret” the truth for us..

    Clues:

    1) Perp’s name is some variation of Muhammed.

    2) Screams of “Allah Ackbar” are heard.

    3) Photos of killer show shark eyes and scrubby beard.

    4) Weapons used are primitive or improvised and pain is maximized.

    5) Victims did nothing to provoke killer and were selected at random from the infidel population.

    6) Relatives and acquaintances of killer express complete surprise and are “shocked”.

    Conclusion: Yet another Jihadi. See, its not that hard there Mr Prosecutor.

  10. abad says

    Muslim migrants who commit crimes in their host country should be deported.

    Period.

    And never allowed back in.

  11. epistemology says

    Jul 19, 2016 at 8:25 pm

    I’m fed up with motive search. It’s plain to see, it’s so obvious. The motive is the same as in Orlando and the truck terrorist in Nice had the same motive too. The perps are Muslims and every Muslim is a potential terrorist. Instead of acknowledging this simple fact Western police and other officials are afraid of a backlash and that the poor Muslim community is put under general suspicion.

    Let’s face it Islam is the religion of terrorism, there is no difference between Islam and Islamism. Call a spade a spade and don’t play the mystified dear politicians and act consistently.

    The word ‘ motivation’ has been usurped and corrupted. You hear our own president commenting on the recent tragic police shootings. He says, ‘ regardless of the motivation, bla bla…..so hes lending some sort of credence to these acts. His comments was another bullet aimed at the cops. So if I picket a store, and someone slices me open, regardless of the motivation, bla bla….

    The sad truth is, we do know that the motivation of these killers is just that. The justification to kill infidels. Trump, don’t blow it. Dont let the spineless repub establishment destroy you. Be strong and careful. Just let Hell a ry go on the attack. Her shrill voice will finish her off.

  15. DFD says

    Jul 20, 2016 at 7:10 am

    His motive?

    He made a video, copied to ISIS, in which he says: “Here I am in your country. I will slaughter (literally) you in your homes, your streets, where ever you are…”

    That’s all the translation required, you can guess the rest. And the “authorities” are not sure why and search for a motive. A politician from the Greens (the primary operational base for Anarchists in Germany) attacked the police for not having him shot so that he is merely incapacitated. That was too much even for a police chief, who essentially called her an idiot.

    Here is his video: https://youtu.be/9cDUUz6wewo

    And “they” search for a motive…… Probably he was depressed after having been rejected by Snow White.

    • Jack Diamond says

      Jul 20, 2016 at 9:21 am

      To these authorities, his motives are not what he says they are, it is what the experts say they are.

      And almost none of these experts take religious belief seriously as a true motive for anything. Has to be underlying causes: socio-economic; political grievances; psychological trauma; alienation (our fault); at best a “perversion” of Islam is recognized, transmitted by Internet hypnotism, also resulting from underlying causes and probably our own fault. Anything is preferable to the truth which is too frightening to even consider.

    ‘In all you getting, gt understanding’…Is that asking too much?

  17. Jean-Francois Morf says

    Jul 20, 2016 at 2:38 pm

    The motive is Muhammad criminal life. Google: 590 million non-muslims…

  18. IndianTiger says

    Jul 20, 2016 at 3:27 pm

    To all the retards who keep searching for a motive: its islam, stupid! It may sound harsh to Germans, but the are reaping what they sowed by letting in the hordes of muslim barbarians. We have known these violent slimes for 1000 years my country. They are really scum of the earth. You don’t want them in your country. Once in, they will destroy whatever you have built.

    THESE MUSLIMS-STABBING-INFIDELS INCIDENTS JUST MOVED HERE TO OTTAWA, CANADA, THIS WEEK, TOO! WITH ONE “MUHAMMAD AHMAD MUHAMMAD” KNIFING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THE BYWARD MARKET DOWNTOWN.

    THE COPS OF COURSE REPORTED “MULTIPLE, BUT UNRELATED/UNCONNECTED STABBINGS,” (ALL HAPPENING THE SAME DAY AND IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA) WITH THE PRESSTITUTES INITIALLY HIDING THE NAMES (AND MUSLIMITY) OF THE PERPS; BUT IT EVENTUALLY CAME OUT YESTERDAY.

    I KNEW IT WAS MUSLIMS THE FIRST DAY THEY “REPORTED” IT IN THE LOCAL LEFTIST RAG, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T DARE NAME THE PERPS. IF IT WAS SOME LOCAL WHITE GUY, WE’D HAVE KNOWN HIS ENTIRE LIFE STORY BY DAY ONE!

    “…Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said it was too early to speculate about the motives of the attacker..”

    There’s nothing clever about this official approach of obfuscation. The mounting frustration within the public towards these wanky ministerial statements is palpable.
