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

High security in cities all over Europe and North America as jihad killers target Christmas

Dec 24, 2016 12:18 pm By Robert Spencer

Why is this happening? Why are tanks in the streets of major cities, guarding Christmas markets? Why is the entire Western world on edge? Because European and North American authorities have admitted large numbers of Muslim migrants into their countries, among whom are unknowable numbers of jihad terrorists, and allowed Sharia enclaves to grow in which hatred of unbelievers and the necessity to wage war against and subjugate them is taught. Christmas is under siege because there are large numbers of Muslims in the West. The responsibility lies with those who admitted them without regard for Islam’s doctrines of religious warfare and supremacism.

“World on terror alert: Security ramped up in major cities over Christmas after Berlin lorry tragedy sparks fears of another attack on the West,” by Anthony Joseph and Richard Spillett, Mailonline, December 20, 2016 (thanks to The Geller Report):

The West has been put on increased terror alert over the festive period following the Berlin lorry tragedy.

Security has been ramped up in major cities including, London, New York, Paris, Vienna and Dusseldorf, as fears grow of another ‘ISIS’ attack on the West.

Tanks were seen in the streets of Budapest, Hungary, and soldiers were pictured at the Christmas markets in Antwerp, Belgium.

The Metropolitan Police has said it is to review its plans for protecting public events over Christmas and New Year following the ‘awful incidents’ in Berlin and Ankara.

Twelve people were killed and 48 injured after a lorry ploughed into a crowded Christmas market in the German capital in what police believe was a deliberate terrorist attack.

The carnage came hours after Russia’s ambassador to Turkey was gunned down at a photography exhibition in Ankara.

Policemen patrol over a Christmas market in Dusseldorf, western Germany, as security measures are ramped up after a deadly rampage by a lorry driver at a Berlin Christmas market.

In a statement today, Scotland Yard said they have ‘detailed plans for protecting public events over the Christmas and New Year period’.

The force said: ‘These already recognise that the threat level is at ‘severe’, meaning an attack is highly likely, and have considered a range of threats, including the use of large vehicles.

‘As a matter of routine, as a precaution, we review our plans after attacks overseas, and we are doing so at present following the awful incidents in Berlin and Ankara last night.’

Visitors to London’s Winter Wonderland have raised security fears over the huge crowds queuing to get into the attraction in the wake of the Berlin Christmas market attack.

The annual event in Hyde Park draws in millions of visitors from around the world to its fairground rides, Christmas markets and food stalls.

But after the attack on a similar attraction in Germany yesterday, revellers fear the long, penned-in queues waiting to get past security could be hit by terrorists.

A terror expert warned crowds waiting for security checks can ‘present a target’ if not properly spread out or dispersed.

Police are stepping up security measures at markets in France after 12 people were killed and at least 48 injured when a truck ploughed into a busy Christmas market in Berlin, Germany. vents

One visitor told MailOnline that the large numbers of people arriving at the attraction every afternoon and evening were ‘herded through a huge pen’ as they waited to be let in.

She feared the huge queues ahead of security checks could themselves become a target, adding: ‘You just feel like a sitting duck for terrorists’.

Professor Anthony Glees, of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at Buckingham University, said Christmas markets are specific targets for jihadists and called for tight security….

    It’s an extra juicy target for them. Chanukah and Christmas fall on the same day this year. The weather around much of the world is nice, bringing out non-religious and other religious people. In short… it’s a nice day, so Islam will be trying to make it a bad day to be out for all of us.

      They terrorize . . . and yet we will worship. God is King. God is powerful. Let all within us praise His holy name!

      Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas (happy holidays) to all!

    ”The West has been put on increased terror alert over the festive period following the Berlin lorry tragedy.”

    If I hear the misuse of the word ”tragedy” in the context of deliberate, maleficent **murder**, deliberate, maleficent **jihad**, I’ll have apoplexy.

    ”Tragedy, branch of drama that treats in a serious and dignified style the sorrowful or terrible events encountered or caused by a heroic individual.”

    **Murder** is not a ‘tragedy’. It is an evil, vicious act against another, or others, and acts of murderous jihad are even worse, since they are done for religious hatred of non-muslims, in order to get brownie points from a mythical ‘allah’.

    • Ashley says

      Dec 24, 2016 at 1:00 pm

      Agreed. Terror attacks are NOT tragedies…they are premeditated, deliberate acts of murder.

      When a tree topples over killing a four-year-old…that is a tragedy. When a jihadist mows down folks at a Christmas event, that is Islamic terror.

      To those that celebrate, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

        There is no doubt the fools on the left are not facing the fact that Islam is at war with us!! We have tanks, armed military, police and barriers up everywhere… We just refuse to fight the was, thus loss in the battle and the war is going to be the out come.. This is a war, and we need to fight, and win IT!!

      to Mirren – Like you, I cannot stand the popular misuse of the word “tragedy”…I’ve been cringing at its use since 9/11. A lot of news people loved, then and now, to call that a tragedy. How it rankles!

      And Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year to you and yours!

      Cheers!

        Agreed, Mirren and Ashley.

        If what had happened in Berlin had been the result of a truck driver having had a heart attack or suffered a stroke, that would have been a tragedy.

        What *actually* happened was not a tragedy, but an *atrocity*.

        Despite these horrors, a Merry Christmas to Mirren, Ashley, Quota, and everyone else here are Jihad Watch.

    They don’t actually have to do anything…They gave already cast terror into the hearts of kuffar…Of course that terror can easily turn to anger and it will be the terrorists who re terrorized,,,Are we having fun yet President Trump?

    OK, so the Jihadis have won. The country is bowing down before them in submission. A more sensible approach would have been to not let even 1 into the country.

    As Jesus died for his followers, Mohammad killed for his….

    This is the fundamental difference that inspires followers to this very day.

      by dying, the Christ satisfied the demands of the Law for all. Salvation is made available for all. But as the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) desires, faith in the Christ is required for salvation..

      the slaves (Muslims) of the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) hear little of that in the “noble” koran. the allah god is jealous, not wanting anyone to follow the Christ. abiding in the SHARIA, the slaves have no chance to attain heavenly bliss.

      “As Jesus died for his followers, Mohammad killed for his….”

      That seems to be curiously reflected in the apparently different interpretations of ‘martryrdom’ in Christianity and Islam. In Christianity just the martyr gets the ‘honour’ of finishing him/herself off. In Islam we all get it whether or not we like the idea.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 24, 2016 at 11:48 pm

        A Christian martyr does not “finish himself off”–he affirms his faith even when faced with death. This is an entirely different matter.

    This shouldn’t be noteworthy yet it is; Cathoilc priest in Boston acknowledges persecution of Christians.

    “Catholics have been persecuted for different reasons over the course of history and we’re not exempt just because it’s 2016. I think there’s absolutely a religious piece to this,” Conway said. “This is our faith. It would be really bizarre to me to say, ‘We can’t do this, we can’t celebrate because we’re afraid.’” Rev Thomas E. Conway of St. Anthony Shrine Boston….Boston Herald story on the Berlin attack

    In a bizarre way the security forces are doing the jihadist’s work for them. Lining people up at checkpoints, searching purses and bags, barriers, guns and even tanks in the streets. The dhimmis feel themselves subdued and terrorized even though they are the majority while the migrant minority with no interest in Christmas markets looks on in glee.

    This is the success of an asymmetrical war waged by soldiers who were welcomed in despite their history and ideology of supremacy. No one should be surprised by the result.

      Things would not be better if Western security were simply letting Muslims murder us without any attempt to stop them.

      The main problem is that we have let Muslims within our gates.

    What’s wrong with Muslims vetting themselves? They have a message of screams and sirens and it called a religion of peace, blowing people into pieces.

    WWIII and the world leaders ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!.

    Why do Muslims so despise the Celebration of Christmas?

    Answer: the reason for it: “What Child is This?”

    Bloody barbarians. God, I hate Islam.

  13. Islam the religion of killers says

    Dec 25, 2016 at 8:36 pm

    The Islamic’s have already achieved one of their goals, installing terror in Europe.

    Tanks at a Xmas market,

    Armed troops at church,

    Armed police on high alert, holidays cancelled,

    Checkpoints everywhere,

    EVERYONE is worried,

    Christmas will never be the same again

    ?? how long is it going to be before people are searched before entering a supermarket..
