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

Berlin truck jihad attacker’s accomplice arrested, often visited mosques

Dec 29, 2016 7:56 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The 40 year old alleged Tunisian accomplice was said to have been discovered after investigators came across his contact details in the phone of the main suspect in the deadly truck attack, Anis Amri.  Note also that another report indicated about Amri that…..

Since the end of 2015, he regularly commuted between Berlin and the Ruhr region where he is believed to have visited a dozen mosques. The 24-year-old Tunisian is also thought to have had particularly good contacts in Dortmund and to have possessed a key to a mosque where he stayed overnight.

A plethora of reports have noted that there are numerous jihad-supporting and/or jihad-preaching mosques in Western countries. Those countries should implement a surveillance system and shut down those mosques that contribute to the mobilization, recruitment or training of jihad terrorists.

“Berlin police arrest Christmas market attacker’s alleged accomplice”, by Ben Rossington, Mirror, December 26, 2016:

Six days after jihadi Anis Amri was shot dead by police in Italy, security services raided the home and business premises of a fellow Tunisian living in Berlin.

German police swooped today to arrest an alleged accomplice of the Berlin market attacker.

Six days after jihadi Anis Amri , 24, was shot dead by police in Italy, security services raided the home and business premises of a fellow Tunisian living in Berlin.

Sources said the 40-year-old’s phone number was found in Amri’s mobile and had been called numerous times in the run-up to December 19, when Amri ploughed a hijacked HGV into a packed Christmas market , killing 12.

Amri, who had pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State, is thought to have dumped his phone alongside his ID papers in the cab of the 20-tonne truck so he could not be traced while on the run.

Refusing to give any more details on the suspected accomplice, the office of Germany’s federal prosecutor said: ”Further investigations indicate that he could have been involved in the attack.

“To what extent suspicions against the arrested person will be hardened up remains to be seen after further investigation….

    1. why haven’t they released details how he traveled the 6 days to Italy?

    2. why aren’t the authorities investigating and shutting down mosques that provided aid and cover?

    3. why haven’t reporters demanded more about other contacts in his retrieved phone?

      All good points and there are many more, but to answer your questions:
      They got no balls……………….

      All mosk es ought to be wired with ex plo s i ves and when ever an attack occurs, there is instant retri bu tion

      They have published by now that Amri has travelled from a Berlin mosque to the Netherlands, France and then Italy. In every Country the have pictures from him but nobody took him in.

      I really wonder wty they spend millions on Video Control and then don´t work with it.

    Merkel is as guilty as sin regarding taking part of the blame for that Islamic terror truck attack in Berlin this month. For her PC politics and polices led to that murderous jihad murder disaster. Furthermore, is should be made clear that the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, [the Koran] gives instruction in the ways of the violent and deadly jihad. To give only one out of many examples of this from the Koran is Sura 47:4. Which teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it, using a large truck as a weapon, as the Muslim /jihadist did, can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can.

      Very fortunate that the lorry in the Berlin attack was modern and had an anti collision device which brought automatic brakes into action. This stopped the lorry from going any further. Without it the attacker could have mown down many more and destroyed most of the market.

      Expect future truck thefts to be of older trucks.

    Amri, who had pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State

    This s*** isn’t news reporting, it’s trying to pass opinions as news reporting. “The so-called” islamic state? Yes, that’s what they call themselves. And the reason they call themselves that is because they claim to follow islam to the letter. For example, they justified the increasingly horrifying murder of innocent civilians with quotations from islamic texts. If you, Mr. Rossington, are going to call them “so-called”, please do so on your own opinion column and attach a lengthy explanation of how and why they’re not islamic. Leave it out of news reporting. Amri pledged allegiance to an organization that is known as “islamic state so your article should only read “Amri, who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, is thought to…” etc.

    It’s a strange but common phenomena in America’s and Europe’s modern PC culture that when it comes to Islamic terrorism there are many people who are afraid to call it what it is. That’s odd because no one is afraid to call a person who engages in violence for anarchy and “anarchist terrorist”. Nor are people afraid to call a Marxist who engages in violence for the ideology of communism a “Communist terrorist.” Likewise, a person who commits violence for Environmentalism an “Environmentalist terrorists. “Nevertheless, when it comes to a Muslim terrorist who engages in deadly violence because of the theology and ideology of Islam, many people fear to call that person an “Islamic terrorists.” Strange but true.

      Calling them a moslem is all that is needed. That, in and of itself, is enough of a description. Although, I do prefer the term “mohammedan”. If it was good enough for the Treaty of Tripoli, it is good enough for me.

    Because they hide behind the facade of being a religion.

    If you burn a Bible no one cares (very much), burn a Koran and you will be arrested and charged with a “Hate Crime”.

    What is being preached in Mosques should be monitored 24/7. Preach sedition, murder and treason – get arrested and deported (not imprisoned).

      ” … get arrested and deported (not imprisoned)”. Is murder not a capital offense … in many parts of the world? Why simply deport so that they can come back and do it all over again? Think about how many Mexican murderers, in the US, have been deported NUMEROUS (special emphasis added) times.
