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

Belgian police stopped Paris jihad murderer before attack, found jihad booklet on him, let him go

Jan 8, 2017 4:59 am By Robert Spencer

Not only that, but also, “police did not follow up when Salah used a picture of the ISIS flag as his social media profile picture.”

Why not? Would doing so have been “Islamophobic”?

“Belgian police missed numerous chances to unmask the ISIS terror cell before they carried out massacres in Paris and Brussels, says secret report,” by Julian Robinson, MailOnline, January 6, 2017 (thanks to David):

Belgian police missed multiple chances to unmask the ISIS terror cell before they carried out massacres in Paris and Brussels, a secret report has claimed.

Jihadists butchered 130 people in the French capital on November 2015 before extremists killed 32 in attacks on Brussels airport and Metro the following March.

A confidential report has revealed that police in Belgium had numerous opportunities to expose the terror network before they went on the rampage in the two capital cities.

The Wall Street Journal says it has seen a report by the Comite P watchdog agency which is looking into the work of Belgian police since the two massacres.

In one example, officers are said to have stopped a vehicle driven by one of the Paris attackers, Brahim Abdeslam – whose brother Salah was later captured – in 2015, and found him with a booklet about ‘parental consent for the Jihad’.

He was arrested for drug possession but, despite being on the terror watch list, was released after a short questioning.

Officers also failed to examine a USB drive concealed behind the car radio, the report claims, adding that an email address the suspect supplied s_orry@hotmail.com, was fake – another detail that went unnoticed.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the report also reveals that the Abdeslam brothers were linked to other suspects while police did not follow up when Salah used a picture of the ISIS flag as his social media profile picture….

    Don’t be surprised. Belgium: 10 million inhabitants, 6 (yes: SIX governments); 56 ministers (Yes: 56) Six different police zones in Brussels. Conclusion: anything goes in Belgium = Absurdistan. And to top it all: “capital” of the EU.

      Is it sheer incompetency, or conspiracy?

        It is not a conspiracy, it is a policy.

          Cowardly, left wing dhimmis are setting these idiotic polices. Time for Europeans to revolt and overthrow their left wing tyrants!

      The amusing part is that Erdogan thinks of himself as the new Caliph of the Caliphate he’s creating, when, if he succeeds, he is really the “Trotsky” when the real “Stalin” comes along.

      These virtual reality dreamers of the “Golden Age of Islam” will create another fundamentalist nightmare and destroy the economy and current freedom of Turkey; the very fruits of Ataturk’s reforms.

    How far would anyone get if they used a Nazi flag as their Facebook picture, or displayed one in public?

    They’d be pointed out, vilified, and imprisoned faster than Clinton accepting a “donation”.

    Yet displaying the Communist flag under which even more have been murdered over even longer, has never been a problem for Lefties, or even – it appears – to most of the general public.

    An ISIS flag is probably a “must-have” accessory nowadays for the chattering classes – to be displayed alongside their Che Guevara T-shirt, Bobby Sands photos, Viet Cong fatigues, signed picture of Castro, and Jeremy Corbyn souvenir mug.

      That’s why the term ‘islamic fascism’ is valid and important. Since it’s used by Hamed Abdel-Samad it can’t be ‘racist’.

    • Aussietrev says

      Sorry, nothing is faster than the Clinton’s accepting a donation, not light, not tachyons, nothing. Einstein has been proven wrong about nothing being faster than the speed of light but he can be forgiven because at the time he had not come across the Clinton speed of greed.

    A confidential report has revealed that police in Belgium had numerous opportunities to expose the terror network before they went on the rampage in the two capital cities.

    Hindsight being 20/20, sure. The question that’s bound to follow is “why”? Why didn’t law enforcement saw it coming? Did they not know what to look for? Were the available evidence unworthy of a follow-up investigation? What went wrong, where, and how can it be fixed?

    If you’ve lived in Europe, you know that Belgium and incompetence are synonymous. This is especially true as regards the French parts. If you’re placing your trust in Belgian security, order extra body bags.

    The Police are instructed to disregard these telltale signs due to their “religious” attributes. This cooperation with evil intent assists the terror plotters and greatly increases the danger to the rest of us.

    It’s like a “get out of jail free” card to the jihadists.

      If Hitler had been clever enough to disguise Nazism as a ‘religion’, we’d all be living under the Nazi yoke now.

    SINCE THE POLICE DO NOT LEARN THE JIHAD DOCTRINE, THEY CANNOT KNOW WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR … THEY CANNOT JOIN THE DOTS.

    22 thousand American Nazis had a rally in New York just before WW2, this sort of thing isn’t new. Many of them were put into internment camps or had the naturalization revoked.
