Recall the arrest of 10 Brazilian jihadists connected to the Islamic State who were planning terrorist acts at the Olympic games, and also a tweet sent by the Islamic State that warned, “Brazil, you are our next target.”
Now, in addition to threats from the Islamic State, Brazil has to deal with a group of al-Qaeda jihadists who have issued calls for “lone wolf” attacks against the US, French, British and Israeli Olympic delegations, and went so far as to publish a list of athletes to be targeted on social media.
The post also called for the kidnapping of Israelis to serve as bargaining chips to free Muslim prisoners, and stated:
“Your chance to take part in the global Jihad is here! Your chance to be a martyr is here!” the jihadis said, citing the easy process of obtaining visas for travel to Brazil as well as the wide availability of guns in “crime-ridden slums.”
Although Brazil has regarded itself as an unlikely target of jihadists, counter-terrorism specialist Luiz Alberto Sallaberry said that the threat had increased in recent months due to a rise in what he described as “the number of Brazilian nationals suspected of sympathizing with ISIS militants”.
Brazil’s intelligence agency has been busy investigating a number of threats to the Rio Olympics, which begins on August 5th, after “a presumed Brazilian Islamist group pledged allegiance to ISIS”, as the article indicates below.
The world is at war with jihadi terrorists who are being strengthened not only by jihadist sympathizers, but also by those useful idiots in the West who deny the reality of this war even as the tally of victims continues to mount.
“Jihadis call on ‘lone wolf’ terrorists to attack Israeli athletes at Rio Olympics”, Jerusalem Post, July 24, 2016:
Al-Qaida-influenced terrorists have issued directives to “lone wolf” attackers to carry out attacks against the Israeli Olympic delegation at the upcoming Rio Olympics, The Foreign Desk reported Thursday.
The jihadis reportedly published a list of athletes to be targeted on social media, including the US, French and British delegations in addition to the Israelis.
“One small knife attack against Americans/Israelis in these places will have bigger media effect than any other attacks anywhere else in sha Allah,” the social media call read, according to The Foreign Desk.
“Your chance to take part in the global Jihad is here! Your chance to be a martyr is here!” the jihadis said, citing the easy process of obtaining visas for travel to Brazil as well as the wide availability of guns in “crime-ridden slums.”
The post specifically mentioned the Israelis: “From amongst the worst enemies, the most famous enemies for general Muslims is to attack Israelis. As general Muslims all agree to it and it causes more popularity for the Mujahideen amongst the Muslims.”
The post also called to kidnap Israelis to serve as bargaining chips to free Muslim prisoners.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s federal police arrested 10 people on Thursday on suspicion of belonging to a group backing ISIS and preparing acts of terrorism during next month’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Justice Minister Alexandre Moraes said.
News site Globonews reported that the members of the group were linked to ISIS. It was not possible to immediately confirm this.
It was unclear where the operation was taking place or what the specifics of the operation were. Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes was due to hold a news conference on the operation.
The presidency said that interim President Michel Temer had called an emergency cabinet meeting. The justice ministry said in a statement that the operation spanned nine states in Brazil.
A court in the southern state of Parana said there were indications that the group was planning to use weapons and guerilla tactics to achieve its aim.
Brazil’s intelligence agency said on Tuesday it was investigating all threats to the Rio Olympics, which start on Aug. 5, after a presumed Brazilian Islamist group pledged allegiance to ISIS…..

These 10 arrested in Brazil were amateur “wannabes”. I lived in Brazil for a decade. I find it hards to imagine terrorists could get to places where they could cause damage. Brazil is not cosmopolitan like big cities in North America. They couldn’t blend in with the population. I think the only way they might have some success if terrorists had managed to infiltrate the delegations coming from Islamic countries, with access to the Olympic village and back stage passage at the venues. Then you never know, I wouldn’t put it past any Muslim, even one of the athletes to commence a lone wolf attack with a knife.

Amusingly enough the Belgian airport bomber’s brother is on the Belgian team.

One of the, if not the, biggest Brazilian YT rappers (almost 4 million subscribers) goes by the name “Mussoumano”. While it’s only a character and, as far as I know, the person behind the character is NOT a muslim, it can still be seen as making – albeit not on purpose – islam look mainstream and appealing.
billybob says
So I watched most of that – as much as I could stand, anyhow, to see where he is coming from. Hard to say why in the world he would put out a rap like that. It wasn’t satire. It wasn’t really serious either. Just picked a theme. Maybe he is a Muslim. Can’t say. I think a student of rap might be able to answer such a question. I am not one of them.
Angemon says
As far as I know, the guy is not an actual muslim, it’s just the character he plays. Still makes islam look benign and appealing, though.
He was part of a channel called Mamilos Molengas alongside with another guy who plays a headbanger (fan of heavy metal). They went their own way a couple of years ago. Mamilos Molengas became Mussoumano and the other guy created his own channel, Metaleiro.

billybob, thanks for your comments. But Jihadists are already in Brazil–Al Qaida and other Jihad groups have a huge presence in the lawless Tríplice Fronteira (Triple Frontier) region on the borders of Brazil, Paraguey, and Argentina.
And there will be people from all over the world in Brazil for the Olympics–it may be harder to spot these Mohammedans than you might think.
Of course, I *very much* hope to be wrong in this case.
BC says
Many jihadis are from places where people have quite light skins. Like Chechnya for example, but even
some ME people have quite light skin, thanks to gene mixing over the many conquests there. Of course if you live in Brazil you will be aware that there are many shades of colour there also
billybob says
It’s not skin shade. The Brazilian people have their own unique personality and body language. You could spot a “gringo” from a mile away – but it depends of course. A gringo hell bent on jihad should really stick out because in general Brazilians are warm and friendly and laid back and just about the opposite of what you might imagine a terrorist could come across as.
berserker says
The Jihadis appear to be confused. The Olympics does not include an event for killing the unbelievers. If that were the case, muslims would be the Olympic and World record holders in the event. They would be unbeatable. They never appear to be any good at any sport. The only ones I remember having any international stature were the Khan brothers in Squash in the 90s.

Pious Muslims have used the sports stadiums built for them by the civilized infidels to publicly execute their victims in places like Afghanistan and Bangladesh, including stonings.
Wellington says
The sickness which Islam inspires leaves no continent off limits, unless it be Antarctica and I don’t wax sanguine even here. Well, fitting, since Islam, like cancer, can spread everywhere.

Islamic State and al-Qaeda jihadists both threaten Brazil Olympics
…………………………..
And why not? The Olympics are about civilized competition through sports and a celebration of pushing the boundaries of human physical excellence. What could be more Kuffar?
Generally the worst things connected with the Olympics are the occasional doping scandal or some kind of financial fraud. Not to make light of these things in any way, but they are almost reasonable compared to bloody Islamic savagery.
And remember what these savages did at the 1972 Munich Olympics. I’m they would love to “top” that.
God, I hate Islam.
citycat says
It’s kind of the Islamic state to give warnings in advance.
What’s that all about?
Fear mongering? or does the thing of Islam and some western traitors warrant scrutiny.
Is treachery afoot?
Muslims are binded as one.
Infidels are divided, not only by country, but it seems also by conscious wilful traitors, which is sickingly obvious in the pathetic minging grins of such people.
The existence of the presence of the Islamic invasion, because Islam is an invasion, is dumbed down by some infidels in some governments.
This Islamic invasion should have been spoken of long ago. And it has been, but times change, and such speech also has been dumbed down by some frightened or treacherous lying infidels in power. And now see the state of Earth. Is war the purpose of so called evolving humanity? Haven’t we had enough of war?
Something is very very wrong.
musalmaan says
Only the scum of the earth get “converted” to this cult. Scum do not need indoctrination. They are there for the fun of killing and maiming people, and what better place to do it but by joining a cult which gives you licence to do just that. A book called the Koran written by a much married pedophile and his traditions and sayings endorses this.
So go ahead and kill for a demonic god and his personal assistant and be assured a hell called heaven.
Unkown says
During the passage of Olympic flame a certain city which has the a large number of Muslims there was a suspicion of bombs. On Sunday, on another state happened a case where a man entered an University wearing a bomb. Thanks God, at least this time nothing happened but it is almost sure that something will happen on Olympic games. So I advice poeple whom plain to come to see the Olympic games, don’t come. It’s your safety and your beloved ones. Things in Brazil are not good.

Going off subject — Is it just me, or does that Rio Olympic icon kind of look like a weird, skimpy pair of underwear ?

This week-end I went with 2 friends to visit Laguna Beach in S. California. When I arrived to the beach area and we started walking around to enjoy the local beauty, I was shocked with what I saw. The majority of the people I saw were muslims!!! It was like I was walking on the streets of Bagdad or Saudi Arabia. Many muslimas had their head covered by the hijab, others were totally covered with their rags, from head to toes, and the face only had the eyes exposed. Of course the men were wearing shorts and tshirts. It was a very hot day, and I imagine how the women felt under so much cloth/ Youg men in groups of 6 or 7 were roaming around like a pack of coyotes. That made me think about how they go in groups and attack the women in Europe. There were muslim families walking and having a picnic on the park. I also noticed the way the local women dress at the beach, with very tiny bikinis with half of their derriere showing, the bottom of the bikini been so short. A young woman was playing volleyball and accross from her there was a muslim family. The woman was all covered up but the man was looking in the direction of the lady in bikini. I thought, what would he do with her if he had the power? A girl went by in a pair of very short & tight shorts. She had a bikini top on that didn’t leave much for the im . Imagination. I thought, Oh, boy, this is a recipe for a total disaster. A barbaric muslim coming from the pages of a 7th century backwards desertic area, suddenly finds himself around a bunch or women 1/2 dressed?i …. I was wondering how long it’ll take until the attacks start.
A few months back, the local tv showed a group of muslimas who had sued a business in Laguna for discrimination. The women were sitting at the table for a long time and were not ordering anything, and there were other customers waiting for their turn. So the owner asked them to leave. They accused the man of being racist. He explained what happened and that. he was also a muslim. I noticed the waiters looked to be muslim, but they turn their name card backward so we cannot see the names. I saw the same done at the restaurant in IKEA.
The situation is very worrisome and disturbing. This madness has to stop before it’s too late.

Years ago, Walter Laqueur, in his book entitled “The New Terrorism,” referred to what is known as “propaganda by deed,” that is, conducting an operation that is well publicized in order to spread a political message. An example he cited was the 1972 Munich Olympics, in which the hostage-taking and killing of 11 Israeli wrestling team members and their coach was viewed by millions. They knew that the cameras would be focused on them. This year, in Rio de Janeiro, there will be a difference. While there will be 24-hour coverage by news agencies from around the world, the environment is rich for unprecedented exploitation by jihadists whose primary goal is to create mass carnage at a level not witnessed previously. Whether or not they will succeed on a grand scale is yet to be known, but certainly they will try.
The site of the host city has been known for a long time, as have the venues. Construction operations have hardly been accomplished under the watchful eyes of security-minded personnel, as only recently has major concern focused on the threat posed by jihadists. The Islamic terror networks do not stop at borders, and given that it takes about 40 agents to conduct undetected, 24-hour surveillance of a target individual seven days a week, the success of an up-until-now insufficient number of Brazilian security personnel is significantly diminished. Likewise, the ability to identify the presence of various terror groups is difficult, especially with today’s dark cyber capabilities. Each of those groups desires to claim responsibility for a terror event that captures the world’s attention; as such, these groups may work both in concert with one another and as separate organizations. Meanwhile, small cells or a single individual may operate without direction, but in the name of a group. In short, this is a nightmare, one which may have been in the planning stages far more than a year.
I hope that I am wrong, but I fear that I am not. The athletes are not the only ones who will be in Rio; nor will the Olympic venues be the only places where people will go. The streets will be filled with athletes, coaches, attendees and tourists who will be dining, shopping, sightseeing, and worshipping. All will be soft targets. The alarm is blinking red.
LR says
Remember when the Olympics were fun? We could actually look forward to either going to, or watching them on TV without wondering if someone was going to get blown up.
Jack Everett says
The Western civilization is in big trouble thanks to our leaderless leaders worldwide.
I can appreciate the French stand on freedom but putting your throat out so someone can cut it is going a little to far.
These terrorists are not just attacking and recruiting followers they are setting an example for anyone with a grievance to attack and murder innocent people.
If this is a war as many say it is them lets fight it as a war and start attacking the terrorist supporters like Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
