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

Child jihadi arrested in Austria just latest example of jihad groups’ child abuse

Jan 25, 2017 1:43 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Child jihadists are found in the Palestinian Territories, the Islamic State, al Qaeda and Boko Haram, but when one is discovered in Europe, it highlights the contrast between Western norms of child raising versus the culture of death found among those espousing the Salafi mindset. This sickening form of child abuse is rampant globally. The 12-year-old arrested in Austria was supposedly “radicalized” by a Muslim preacher in Austria:

Investigators say the 12-year-old was not only in contact with the 17-year-old terror suspect but also had been radicalised by a Salafist “hate preacher” in Austria.

But what had he learned at home and at the mosque? Why did he fall for this preacher?

More on this story. “Junior Jihad: Suspected Terror Cell Member Just 12 Years Old,” Breitbart News , January 24, 2017:

Following the arrest of a 17-year-old plotting a terror attack in Vienna, authorities have also arrested a boy they say is under 14 years old and is alleged to be a member of a terrorist cell.
While police have only said the underage suspect was below the age of 14, Austria’s largest daily newspaper Kronen Zeitung has reported that the boy is 12 years old.

The paper alleges the boy is originally from Macedonia and his home was raided by police on Sunday following allegations he has ties to the 17-year-old arrested over the weekend. Police say the older suspect was plotting to carry out a terror attack on behalf of Islamic State.

Investigators say the 12-year-old was not only in contact with the 17-year-old terror suspect but also had been radicalised by a Salafist “hate preacher” in Austria.

Director of public security in Austria Konrad Kogler claims the underage pair were in close contact and noted, “In this stage of life people are looking and are particularly susceptible to influence.”

The initial arrest of 17-year-old Lorenz K. made headlines across Austria over the weekend. Mr. Kogler said that the police were given information several days before the arrest which indicated the Albanian-born Lorenz K. was planning an attack. Police seized several computers and mobile phones which are still being analysed.

Once it was established the Albanian migrant had connections to other Islamic state sympathisers in the German city of Neuss, police contacted German authorities who arrested a 21-year-old man.

Christian Pilnacek, head of the Criminal Law Section in the Ministry of Justice, has said the 17-year-old terror suspect has likely been placed in solitary confinement where he will await a court date.

Lawyer for Lorenz. K., Wolfgang Blaschitz, claims the 17-year-old wasn’t an immediate danger to the Austrian public claiming, “We are a long way from bomb-building or an attack”.

Mr. Blaschitz, who has defended Islamic State fighters in the past, said, “His motivation was a political one. He has condemned the US and other states dropping bombs in Syria”. Several media outlets have said he was likely radicalised whilst in prison for assault between 2014 and 2015.

The trend of underage Muslims becoming radicalised and planning or attempting to commit terror acts on behalf of Islamic State is on the rise in Europe. In Germany, several attacks, like the stabbing of a policeman in Hanover last year, have occurred…..

    One should also recall that cultures of death and life are as old as time. The Egyptians spend their entire existence preparing for death and burial; the Israelites chose life–always life. That is, I believe, a part of the islamic problem.

      yup, as the islamists have said , they LOVE DEATH MORE THAN WE LOVE LIFE!

        Thanks to Christine Williams for covering this important topic: ISLAMIC CHILD ABUSE.

        To teach innocent children to hate and kill is the worst form of child abuse.

      Very important point, Lucia and John–our choosing *life* rather than death and destruction.

      How true about the culture of death.. They care not for their own lives, just imagine what ours is worth to them..ZIP……. BTW Obama on his way out the door, gave these savages millions of our tax dollars!!! Mean time, back at the liberal hissy fit land, they throw temper tantrums over Trump’s Wall!!!! NUTS

    “Mr. Blaschitz, who has defended Islamic State fighters in the past, said, “His motivation was a political one. He has condemned the US and other states dropping bombs in Syria”.”

    Well of course it was political, because Islam is political, but that is not what Mr. Blaschitz wanted to say. He wanted people to think it was political as opposed to a religious motivation, hoping the public is gullible enough to imagine such a distinction exists with Islam.

      Islamic motivation is as much political as it is religious. What is wrong is that a 12-year-old even has a political motivation.

        being born into islam is being born into a job. just think, they never have to look for a real life job with all the work and heartache that that entails. no worries about paying bills and stuff. those brainwashed from birth have only one job… JIHAD and the hell with all the rest of life except and unless it furthers the primary job, the one they were born with. being born into islam is being born into hell. pity on them all!

    Mr. Blaschitz, who has defended Islamic State fighters in the past, said, “His motivation was a political one. He has condemned the US and other states dropping bombs in Syria”.

    Did he condemn ISIS’s barbaric murder of innocent people?

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 25, 2017 at 5:12 pm

      Damn good question, Angemon.

      And that we have reached the point where a Western attorney has “defended Islamic State fighters in the past” is in and of itself appalling.

    Between the honor killings, child marriage, FGM, the rape of young boys and the brainwashing from birth, Islam is the biggest child abuser on the planet.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 25, 2017 at 5:15 pm

      So true–I’d throw in the frequent rape of small boys, as well, dave, as well as raping Infidel children.

      The rest of the world has, generally speaking, become better and better in its treatment of vulnerable children–except for Islam.

    That’s right this adult Muslim brainwashing is CHILD ABUSE of the most unconscionable wicked and demonic kind. This mind programming of these young and impressionable children to callous them into deadly jihadists is not only heinously manipulative bu tit’s also child exploitation . Those Muslim adults will on the day of judgement have to answer and gave an account to the God of the Bible, Romans 14:12, for this hideous insidious and wicked mind control indoctrination of the children to exploit the mas tools and stooges for the false religion of Islam and with it’s jihad .
    In addition , there are some good decent but naive people who might shocked at this totally and completely despicable brainwashing ,child abuse and exploitation by adult Muslims for the jihad.
    So those same people might ask “Just how can the Muslims who are adult actually engage in this child abuse in Islamic mind programming centers ? ” This question is answered in the Bible. For the Bible teaches the there are some men are are extremely heartless, cold ,cruel and callous because they have had “their conscience with a “hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V.]
    The “hot iron” in this case is Islam.

      They would be better off with a millstone around their neck and thrown into a river, than to have led a young child astray as in this case.

    • Greyhound Fancier says

      Jan 25, 2017 at 9:20 pm

      Their conscience “seared” with a hot iron. The meaning is that the conscience is damaged and scarred.

    Hitler Youth survivor speaks about Muslims teaching their children Jew hatred and hatred of kafirs. He calls it even worse than Nazi child abuse. Same paranoid ideas as Nazis.

    …………………………

    Yes–child abuse is exactly what this is–and it is not just the children who will suffer for it, but their victims, as well. There are videos of children in the Islamic State beheading and shooting their victims in an abandoned children’s playground. It doesn’t get any more perverse than that.

  10. Wellington says

    Raising a child Muslim serves as ipso facto evidence of child abuse. Yes, Islam is this awful.

      need to be careful there, the followers of islam are cruel violent & uncivilised, but not all muslims are, we are talking about islam, a doctrine that demands the death of those that leave. we know that “muslim” is not a race, but facebook moderators do not.

    So what is it that he and other children are honestly learning at home and at the mosque?

    No denials needed! Its time to face reality and honestly hear the words these people out-right are telling us all to what their plans/agenda truly are against us. Wake up world, wake up!

  13. Ric says

    Jan 26, 2017 at 11:33 am

    This has been going on for decades, the MSM and its progressive viewers do not want to deal with Islam’s reality; bloodletting, the Jihad begins while a child is a mere toddler. The longer this is ignored the worse it will become… the West, now excluding the US, is dwelling in a state of denial. The only victims will be the innocent citizens of the spineless politicos.

    Here is an undercover video in an Islamic school that could surprise you:



    You’ll agree that this is not the way to teach tolerance and respect…
