Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Axe Attack by Muslim Migrant: What Else Did Angela Merkel Expect?

Jul 19, 2016 10:07 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage this morning I discuss yesterday’s axe attack by a Muslim migrant screaming “Allahu akbar”:

germany_train_attack

The latest jihad attack in Germany reveals how difficult it is becoming for the political and media elites to maintain their fantasy-based narrative in the face of reality. An axe-wielding Muslim refugee from Afghanistan stormed a train, screamed “Allahu akbar” and began attacking passengers. This happened, of course, as a result of policies that Angela Merkel aggressively pursued. And as she did so, she must have known that this kind of thing would start happening. What else could she possibly have expected?

Those who called for Europe to take in as many Muslim migrants as possible may have foreseen this: after all, they insisted that the refugees were not a danger, but were in danger. Only racist bigoted Islamophobes would dare express any skepticism about the wisdom of admitting these refugees, we were told. To oppose the Muslim migrant influx into Europe was evidence of a moral defect, we were told.

And so, with 21 injured in this jihadi migrant’s axe attack, we will likely soon hear that he was mentally ill, traumatized by the war in his native Afghanistan, or enraged over some slight (or even over “Islamophobia”), and that the one thing we all must understand above everything else is that Islam had nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with this attack, and that the one thing we must not do in the wake of this attack is question or resist the ongoing Muslim migrant influx. Everyone will say so. They always do.

But when they tell us this, they’re leaving out a few important details. Such as the fact that Ahmad al-Mohammed and one other of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees.

In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all.

So why are they claiming to be Syrian and streaming into Europe, and now the U.S. as well? An Islamic State operative gave the answer when he boasted in September 2015, shortly after the migrant influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had already entered Europe. He explained their purpose: “It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah.” These Muslims were going to Europe in the service of that caliphate: “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going with the plan of sowing blood and mayhem on European streets. As he told this to journalists, he smiled and said, “Just wait.”

On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.

Monday’s axe attack was just the beginning. Merkel has brought an untold number of jihad terrorists, and jihad terror sympathizers, to Germany, and more are coming all the time. The axe attack is a glimpse of Germany’s future, the future that Merkel has visited upon her nation – and the rest of the leaders of the Western world are eagerly following her lead.

The axe attack in Germany is, in microcosm, the future our children will face because our leaders are intent on being “multicultural” and avoiding “racism.” How long will Merkel and Obama continue to sacrifice their nations on the altars of these false idols? How much blood must be spilled before the leaders of the free world determine to defend their nations rather than let their people die in the service of shoring up multiculturalist fantasies?

It’s time to repudiate the political and media elites in both Europe and North America. We need some real leaders.

    Heinous. I’ve been reading German media accounts — many of the victims have terrible defensive wounds, which means their hands and arms were chopped and in many cases severed. Islam has obsessions about hand-chopping. Of course these wounds would be the result of such an attack, but one wonders if the Muslim filth-stain had specific exhortations in mind…

    Surah 8:12 Examined

    Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

      The only question I have is: Who is going to safe Western cowards from the muslim jihadists they are so in love with and whom the respect so highly? As I know islam, the killing of Western animals within their own soil will only intensify in the coming months and years!

        We still outnumber them. You’re right, they will not stop this genocide against us, and every attack emboldens more Muslims to attack… Then, when we respond, the Muslims will be in a frenzy, and even more attacks will follow.

        Bleak? Yes. But….

        There will be a tipping point. We may be close to that even now. The Muslim mob cannot turn back now, and that will be their undoing. There will be a reckoning. And I am certain, CERTAIN, the Muslim scum will regret the day they were born. We will win this battle of enlightenment against evil.

        Never stop fighting them. Never stop educating others about the Jihadi threat.

          I interpreted the comment as the poster expressing his/her best understanding of the Islamic mindset — a mindset that he/she is apparently familiar with, given the rubric. The tone in the comments at this website have deteriorated significantly from earlier days… Accusatory, even. And for no reason.

          “Ex-muslim” has stated, on several occasions, he’ll celebrate when the West falls to islam – not “if”, when, he takes it as a given fact. And for all his claims about being a former muslim, he has yet to show any understanding of his alleged former faith – unlike, for example, long time posters and actual apostates Saleem Smith or IQ Al Rassooli, who often go into detail about islamic orthodoxy.

        • MTMLA says

          Jul 20, 2016 at 5:45 am

          I noticed that also. I wondered , this person as an ex muslim sees the westerners as animals, or he was refering to the muslim view of westerners?

        …………………………

        As Jack Diamond, Mockingjay, and Angemon note, “Ex-muslim” considers us “Western animals”.

        He has many times here salivated over our supposed immanent fall to Muslim conquest. And why? Because we do not stone gay people to death.

        How, exactly, is he an “ex-Muslim”, again?

          I can do without the accusatory tone — this echoes back to my being called a “liar” and a “troll” by several of you dimwits recently. Thanks for derailing the insights and linkage I made to Islamic doctrine for this attack.

          You’re like a tiny troll army. Have fun!!

          “I can do without the accusatory tone”

          A tone that, in this case, is in the eye of the beholder.

          “this echoes back to my being called a “liar” and a “troll” by several of you dimwits recently.”

          Apparently, you’re OK with being called a “Western animal”. Well, excuseeeeeeeeeeeee me, Princess, for disagreeing in that particular regard. Anyway, where exactly someone called you that? Could you link to it?

          “Thanks for derailing the insights and linkage I made to Islamic doctrine for this attack.”

          You mean, the same linkage to islamic doctrine (8:12) that Stephanie made on two different posts – and probably on many other posts before?

          *gasp*

          What would we do without your precious and unique insight?

    Again I would like to emphasise the voters’ co-responsibility in this development. If you cast your vote just brainlessly because you’ve always voted either ‘left’ (Labour etc) or ‘right’ (Conservative etc), then you have only yourself to blame. Every observer can’t avoid the conclusion that the system’s parties have adapted to this flip-flop voting behaviour, so a voter can’t expect anything from either of these parties.

    If you are not content with how a certain issue is being handled, as you should be by now, then vote for the party and personality that appears suitable to perform the changes overdue – not the parties that you’ve always voted for. Shouldn’t be so hard to understand?

    • Jim says

      Jul 19, 2016 at 11:09 am

      I think the voters can expect that their ‘leaders’ put their welfare above some misguided faux charitable impulse. By your reasoning, even treason is forgiven as a result of the electoral process.

      • Michael Laudahn says

        Jul 19, 2016 at 11:17 pm

        ‘Even treason is forgiven’? No, certainly not. But presently we’re not much in a position to do something about it. To possibly get there, the traditional voting behaviour needs to be changed.

    He had an ISIS flag in his room.

    Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said: “He was described as a devout Muslim but not in any
    way one who was radical or fanatic”…Herrmann said people who knew the attacker had described him as a “quiet and balanced person who went to the mosque for important holidays, but wasn’t necessarily there every week.” This “poor orphan” taken in by Frau Merkel.
    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-attacks-germany-idUSKCN0ZY2LA

    “A video released by ISIS claims to show him 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 call 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.”

    What did Merkel expect?

    NO – WHAT DID ALL THOSE LEFTY “decent people” (gutmenschen) EXPECT?

    The ones who have been so INSISTENT on calling the islamo- and migration critics “nazi’s”, “dumb”, and “racist scum”, while at the same time “welcoming” the islamic scum of the earth into their midst as if they were long lost friends?

    Many,many more Germans will be injured, maimed and killed in months and years to come, – and they can thank their fellow citizens for it, without whom Angela would have NEVER been able to pull it all off.

    People will die. No one will be able to stop it now that The Enemy has been allowed in.

    It has all been predicted, ofcourse.
    WE all knew it.

    But now that the predictions are becoming reality, I do not feel much satisfaction about being right.

  14. R Cole says

    Jul 19, 2016 at 1:28 pm

    Truthfully – once Merkel announced that any Syrian can come and everyone soon realized that any all can come – Afghans were lining up in Afghanistan to get passports [BBC report] – so they could travel to Germany – obviously as refugees.

    Merkel has made a complete an utter joke of the whole refugee system.

    No doubt some Afghans did cross – as Syrians and along with the migrant flow – but overall Merkel who is now trying to keep law and order has broken every law to bring these people in.

    Firstly this man was from Afghanistan he should have been quickly processed and sent home – preferably via an airplane.

    Not left to linger around Europe – in and out of the justice system – then finally killing a bunch of people – while shouting Allah Akbar. With the media talking about Islamophobia – as being the real culprit.

    That’s why I think they need new leadership in German. Not simple reshuffling of the deck chairs – a real change. Someone to thin out this migrant crowd – to take these failed asylum seekers into custody – and physically remove them to their countries’ of origin.

    ::

    Further look at the failed Turkish coup – up against the Turkish visa free migrant deal – as just another reminder of the disastrous direction Merkel had planned to take Europe. The German’s should question her judgement every chance they get.

    21 injured before being stopped. That’s an unaware group of infidels. He should have been stopped instantly.
    As soon as
    “Allahu ackbar”
    is heard infidels should respond instantly. And should be on the look out for jihadists who lose themselves in the crowds of infidels
    I guess the Muslim, bully coward, chose that group knowing that.

  19. Alec Rawls says

    Jul 20, 2016 at 6:52 pm

    In Obama’s case the false idol he worships is the Muslim god. He was taught by his “ex-Muslim” mentor Jeremiah Wright ehst instructions Muhammad issued for Muslims who live in infidel territory, according to the hadith of Tabari 8.23: that they are supposed to pretend not to be Muslim, when this is the best way to advance Islamic conquest, and they are to use this fasehood to “turn them against each other, for war is deception.”

    Wright has not quite admitted this but it is pretty obvious. He says that Obama came to him seeking advice on how he could join with the Christian black activist movement without abandoning his Islamic heritage and that he advised Obama on how to do this. We also know that Wright himself is de facto following Tabari 8.23.

    He used to be NOI and “converted to Christianity” while studting for his masters degree in Islamic Studies. Yeah, right. That’s what coming across Tabari 8.23 will do.

    How do we know that Wright’s conversion to Christianity was fake? Because his “church” rejects the Christian law of love and instead teaches the Islamic law of hate: where Muslims are instructed to be “merciful to each other and hard against the unbelievers.”

    Wright just adds a familiar racial twist to this law of hate, instructing his followers that they are to love black people and hate whites. “If god does not hate white people we must kill him” says Wright along with the self-hating Phlegler, who authored this particular phrase, but the racial law of hate goes back further. It is the doctrine of the “Black Muslim” Nation of Islam.

    Wright is still NOI, teaching orthodox NOI doctrine in his phony “Christian” church, the church that phony Christian Barack Hussein Obama attended for most of his adult life.
