Another excellent video/ Thank you.
The format – brief and topical – is very powerful and useful.

Yes it was an excellent video. I am just beginning to look at this site trying to educate myself as much as i can about the brutality and danger of this group and ot’s easy access into the free world due to our incredibly weak and money hungry leaders
Oh dear, we are suffering in Europe from some weird outbreak of psychological problems. Reality is clearly at fault.

There aren’t any proofs that Munich attack was a jihadi attack, it is really not good to focus on that one. Others were much more obvious, because for some there were explicit videos with the messages of solidarity with ISIS.
Klaassays
I agree completely with you, rara. It is a strategic mistake to focus on this case. I have said this here on the evening of the shooting, and I am even less convinced now this is a jihadi attack. The Wikipedia page in the link above does report all the information I am aware of (and more), including the “Allahu Akbar” witness report. But this is a eyewitness account, not a fact. There are other reports and facts that do not fit the jihad interpretation. He was born a shiite muslim, but his father claims that he may have converted to christianity. Of course this could be a lie, but it could also be crucial information. You can cherrypick the Wikipedia page for your favorite narrative, but there is very little evidence to be found for a jihad interpretation.
Meanwhile we have learned in all the other cases in Germany that the police does reveal islamic links if they find them. Therefore I assume in this case nothing was found. Neither did they find Breivik’s manifesto, but they did find evidence for obsession with mass shootings. This seems to imply that this attack was neither pro-islamic nor anti-islamic nor right-wing. Mass shootings by people obsessed with such things have happened many times before.
The media did not systematically misreport this case; but unfortunately jihadwatch did. Yes, there was initial confusion about who shouted remarks against foreigners. But already the same evening we all saw the rooftop video, and everyone, including most of the media understood that he said “I am german”, and that the insults came from other people (who are now even being prosecuted for that).
Another example of jihad watch bias is his name. I have seen the BBC being blamed for calling him “David” but in some jihadwatch pieces he was systematically referred to only as “Ali”. Here is the truth, according to the süddeutsche zeitung (in German)
“Ein Beispiel: Wie lautet der Name des Amokläufers von München? Heißt der Mann nun David S., wie ihn die SZ nennt, oder Ali David S., so wie ihn andere Medien nennen? Oder gar Ali Dawoud S., in arabischer Schreibweise, wie er in manchen Mails an die SZ genannt wird, in denen erregt gefragt wird, warum wir seinen echten Namen verschweigen. Die SZ hat die Frage des Namens bereits am Morgen nach dem Amoklauf mit amtlichen Stellen erörtert. Die Antwort: In seinem Reisepass steht David S. Seine Schulkameraden nannten ihn aber Ali. Erst sechs Tage später stellte sich heraus, dass der Amokläufer erst Anfang Mai seinen Namen in allen amtlichen Dokumenten in David hat ändern lassen – direkt nachdem er volljährig geworden war. Von einem Dawoud jedoch war noch nie etwas zu lesen – das entspringt eher dem Wunsch mancher Bürger, den Amokläufer zusätzlich als Fremden zu markieren. ”
rough translation: In his passport he is called “David” but his schoolfriends called him Ali. After becoming 18 in May he changed his name to David (and not the arabic “Dawoud”) in all official documents. So apparently he preferred a
Christian (or Jewish) name himself. This is a fact that the newspaper has checked with the authorities, and that seems highly relevant to me. Not a thing a devout muslim would do.
I started visiting jihadwatch because I was getting sick of hearing the lie “islam is a religion of peace”. This phrase would indeed fit nicely in the repertoire of Joseph Goebbels. But since I am very sensitive to being lied to, I would appreciate a bit more honesty on this website as wel. Please report all the facts, not just your favorite selection, and don’t jump to conclusions.
The Orlando and Nice cases (and all other German attacks) are indisputably jihad attacks, so why muddle the discussion with something that in all likelihood is not?
rarasays
Thank you, Klaas, I fully share your opinion. We don’ need lies, the problem surely exists and can be good demonstrated on the obvious jihadi cases. Yes, for example, Orlando was really mostly shamefully treated by media and the institutions and it’s an obvious jihadi case.
German cases were surely not properly covered or always properly reacted to (like Cologne!) still misrepresenting the Munich shooting which is really quite an outlier based on the currently known background is not good for the credibility of Jihad Watch and Robert.

Bravo! Thank you for another great video!
Robert, thank you for bringing us the Truth about islam & company. You are the *refreshing* voice of reason among the countless world leaders whom bring nothing but denial and obfuscation regarding this enemy.

Off hand I would say that consequences for the elitist rulers is the only way to snap them into reality. As long as there are no consequences to themselves, personally that is, because they seem incapable of feeling the strain they have imposed on the citizens. I often wonder what we could learn by waterboarding any of the top 5 so-called leaders, but that is too close to fantasizing.

Mr,Spencer know Islam lot better then any Muslim scholar. American political leadership should listen to Mr, Spencer about Islam.. what he is talking about. Elect the Donald as your president this time. Do not miss the opportunity to make America super again.

Oh, most Muslim scholars know Islam very well–they are just fine with whitewashing that foul creed to the “filthy Infidels”.

Another excellent and common-sense (which doesn’t seem to be all that “common” these days) video & explanation. Thank you Robert!
overmansays
l can’t believe where the lies of leftist/muslim apologists blatantly appear sometimes.
l was watching the TV series ‘HOMELAND’ and the main C.I.A operative actually says to a muslim terrorist – ‘You pervert the Teachings of the Prophet’. This is how deep the deception goes.

My favorite Netflix show, NCIS does the same thing. I cringe every time they support Islam.

Allahu Akbar means ‘God bless you’ according to one senior US official that was a POW once,,,
The officials mentioned and more have blood on their hands and are accessories to murder…Where’s Judge Roy Bean when you need him?
I have heard more than once that “allahu Akbar” means “God is greater” i.e. allah is greater than your God.
Kaysays
Apologists for Mohammedism say it means “God is great” and what could be wrong with that?
So I think we have to look at how/when it is used to determine its meaning.
Whatever its literal translation, there are invariably in human speech layers of meaning beyond the literal.

Thank you Robert for every thing that you do to save the civilized world from its suicidal stupidity. Keep up the good work, I send Jihad Watch or parts of it to 96 people every day.
