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

Germany: Teen Muslima who stabbed police officer went to mosque every Friday and had memorized Qur’an

Oct 20, 2016 8:58 am By Robert Spencer

Not that this has anything to do with Islam. This story shows up yet again how far the West’s official policies regarding Islam are from reality. If what the political and media elites told us were true, this girl would have learned from reading the peaceful Qur’an and praying in her peaceful mosque that Islam opposes terror and violence. She didn’t. Is she yet another misunderstander of Islam? That is what Angela Merkel and other Western leaders would have us believe. But does she actually understand it all too well?

“A girl that quotes the Koran is not a threat,” her father said. Unfortunately, that is not really true.

“From Hanover to IS: The case of Safia S.,” by Sabrina Pabst, DW, October 19, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A German court has begun a trial of a 16-year-old German-Moroccan girl, identified as Safia S, for an alleged terror attack. The prosecutors accuse her of stabbing a police officer and links with the “Islamic State” (IS)

The court decided to exclude the media from the trial that started on Thursday, aiming to protect the young defendant from “continued exposure and the related stigma.”

Another 20-year-old suspect is also facing charges for not reporting Safia ahead of the February stabbing.

The knife attack in Hanover was the culmination of a long process of Islamic radicalization. Safia S. told police that her attack had been spontaneous. But investigators are telling a different story: The search for a motive quickly led authorities to believe that it may have been a terrorist attack. Safia S. is suspected of having contacts to radical Islamists.

A search of the contents of her cellphone expose her long path to radicalization. In their search, investigators found chat transcripts between Safia S. and members of IS. According to an investigation conducted by North German Public Radio’s (NDR) “Panorama 3,” program Safia apparently wrote the following in a chat from November 14, 2015 – the day after the Paris terror attacks: “Yesterday was the happiest day of my life, Allah bless our lions, who were in action in Paris yesterday.”

The German-Moroccan girl wears a headscarf. Online, the high school student presents herself like so many others her age: selfies in front of her bedroom mirror, photos with girlfriends, images of cats. She swoons for Justin Bieber and Allah. “A girl that quotes the Koran is not a threat,” her father says in an interview with NDR. Her mother gave her a devout upbringing. She had to go to mosque every Friday and she memorized the Koran. Yet that is where the young girl came into contact with men who were dangerously manipulative.

In 2008, at the age of seven, Safia S. appeared alongside the controversial Salafist preacher Pierre Vogel in a YouTube video. In it, she recites Koran verses with a soft voice. Vogel presented her as “our little sister in Islam” in Salafist propaganda videos, and when presenting her to supporters, as follows: “This is the new generation of Muslims, I am proud of you. Learn the Koran by heart and on Judgement Day you will move up a step for each verse you recite.”

The investigation has shown that authorities in Lower Saxony had videos like these before the knife attack. The state domestic intelligence office was even investigating the young girl for preparing a serious crime in November 2014. Safia S. is also said to have had contact with the 20-year-old German-Syrian Mohamed Hasan K. Federal prosecutors are currently investigating him as a suspect involved in planning the supposed terror attack that led to the cancellation of an international soccer match in Hanover. Since he had knowledge of Safia’s plans he is also a co-defendant in her trial. K. was able to flee Germany, but was arrested in Greece at the end of September….

    “A girl that quotes the Koran is not a threat,” her father says in an interview with NDR.

    Yes, why would someone who says, for example, “fight the unbelievers wherever you find them” or “fight those who do not believe in allah or in the last day and who do not consider unlawful what allah and his messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled” be considered a threat?

    “A girl that quotes the Koran is not a threat,” said her father.
    What about the Koran itself? Are its instructions a threat? It is, after all, part of Islamic law, and one who denies any verse is to be killed, vigilante style and with no penalty for the killer.
    “Kill them wherever you find them”.
    That sounds threatening enough.
    It might even be a clue to that ever elusive and mysterious “process of Islamic radicalization”.

    Why is there a push to link Islamic violence with a group, a mental disorder, a lifestyle, friends and/or acquaintances, living conditions, a war, etc.? When the actual link is staring them in the face. I’m reminded of the prophetic warning Jesus gave that a strong delusion will come over people and they will believe the lie. Some people and governments are now professing that sex/gender are fluid. Another example of the above.

    The German police are as bad as their government. No matter what they suffer from terrorists, the only people that will be policed by them will be those citizens protesting against the pro-Islam policies of Angela Merkel. The fix is in anyhow. Nothing of consequence will happen to the perp. The government is already sheltering her from the evil Islamophobes. I mean, why should there be any exposure and related stigma for someone knifing a police officer? Muslim Lives Matter.

    Cpt. Vadakayil reveals sufi-izlamics ruined northern regions of south Asia: sufi-mohamedans were espionage agents of izlam who set foundation for countless centuries of terror. Mohamedans wish to enslave all Earthlings. South India was ruined by trading with mohamedans. (the story of jews/xtians in Bharat cannot be explained in a mere comment here.)

    Suffice it to state that Dharmic world (Jain/Vedic/Parsi/Buddhist/Sikh/Iskcon/Tao -Dao yin-yang etc) must unite against jihad in order to prevent enslavement of our future generations. Better to be slim and free than a fat slave. Crying need of hour is to decisively defeat jihad once and for all, preferably in an ahimsic manner. Shunning izlamics is good first step – deprogramming centres as well as making good use of deportation is also good. Personally I cannot recognize that huge swathes of land on Earth are ‘izlamic territory’ – however if izlamic lands do exist why are all moslems not living in so-called izlamic lands? Give izlamics copy of Pancatantra and tell them to go for long walk to black rock. Maybe this will help Izlamics wipe out all forms of poverty that plague them: material and spiritual poverty create a pathological need to lord it over everyone. Give Izlamics copy of Ramayan too. Maybe they will stop abducting girls. Note to Moslems: never again will you rule over beloved Bharat.

    Wow. One would almost get the idea that the koran is related to violence. Oops! There i go being a racist, bigoted Islamophobe again!

    What a waste of humanity Islam causes to its believers.

    All that devotion and effort, and she managed to misunderstand her peaceful, tolerant and just faith! How could that be? The poor Muslima must suffer from mental illness.
