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

Spain: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” opens fire in supermarket

Jan 11, 2017 2:07 pm By Robert Spencer

Europe’s new normal. It is going to be increasingly frequent in the U.S. as well, unless President-elect Trump institutes tough immigration and counter-jihad policies.

How long will it be before we hear that this jihadi had “mental health issues”?

“BREAKING: Gunman screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ opens fire in Spanish supermarket,” Express, January 11, 2017:

A GUNMAN has opened fire in a Spanish supermarket while shouting “Allahu Akbar”, police have said.

The man was reportedly carrying gasoline and gunpowder in his pockets as he entered the Mercadona shop, in As Lagoas, Ourense.

Numerous shoppers were inside making their purchases when the assailant, who was armed with a shotgun, entered and fired several shots.

Supermarket employees said he fired at least six shots during the terrifying ordeal.

One employee said the man, who was standing just a few metres from him, yelled “Allahu Akbar”, which translates to “God is greatest”….

Officer Carlos Perez, who was already at the supermarket, revealed he was fired at when he tried to stop the attack.

The 38-year-old revealed the attacker was only apprehended after his colleagues arrived.

He said: “I had the impression that he ran out of ammunition.”

It is believed no shoppers were injured during the attack….

    These cowards are possessed. They follow a Satanic Death Cult! AKA Islam. Follow Islam and the chances of possession increase a thousand fold!

      Yes, that is why they always shout “Allahu akbar!” (“Allah is the greatest!”). They call Satan “God”.

      • Rob says

        Jan 12, 2017 at 12:58 am

        From anon: “Allahu akbar!” (“Allah is the greatest!”)

        The proper translation, as I understand it, of Allahu Akhbar, is “God is great”…

        Am I misinformed?

          yes, anon is more accurate.

          Jan 12, 2017 at 1:27 am

          “…yes, anon is more accurate…”

          According to most Western Governments, “Allahu akbar” means “No Islam To See Here”…

          See Mark Steyn’s “The Official Lie” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iv0aiAth8o)

        • aDhimmiSaysWhat? says

          Jan 12, 2017 at 8:01 am

          Actually, it means Allah is greater (as in greater than your god)

      • Celtic says

        Jan 12, 2017 at 2:10 am

        I’am amazed about the Level of ignorance. Soo many People do not know what Allahuakbar really means. It does NOT mean, “God is the greatest” – what it really means is: Allah is greatER.

        It is a comparative which directly indicates the Dogma of absolutism of the islamic faith.
        What it really translates to, is that Islam is superior – therefore it is clear, why it has historically been used as a battle cry.

        • Bob says

          Jan 12, 2017 at 4:29 am

          It is either “Allah is Greater” or “Allah is [the] greatest”.
          So Rob is right as well

          Bob, Rob wrote,”,,,,, god is great……am I misinformed’? He didn’t write greater. So. anon was more accurate than Rob.

      ‘Possessed ‘is the right word! It’s like group hypnotism. Also,those with a poor education are more likely to succumb because they haven’t learned to think for themselves.

      • A Harris USA says

        Jan 12, 2017 at 12:25 pm

        jay, possessed is more accurate, I agree!! who cares what Allah snackbar means!!! All I know is it means death, horror, terror and the end of our civilization!!!!!

    Silly islamics, don’t they remember what happened the last time they pissed Spain off…Isabella will smile again.

    • FP says

      Jan 11, 2017 at 2:55 pm

      But Mr. Gilbert, you are forgetting the Golden Age of Islamic rule in Spain, when Muslims, Jews, and Christians frolicked together in fields of flowers and enjoyed a multicultural paradise. Well… Jews and Christians were still second class citizens, its true, and were struck on the neck when they paid their Dhimmi taxes as a humiliation, but apart from such minor annoyances, all was good.

      In all seriousness, we should pray for the rise of an El Cid, an Isabella, or a Charles Martel to drive out these Muslim vermin.

      • Keith Gilbert says

        Jan 11, 2017 at 3:25 pm

        Ah yes, Charles Martel…’The Hammer,’ is truly the character from history most needed right now.

      • Unknown says

        Jan 12, 2017 at 1:08 am

        @FP you should the book of Dr. Dario Fernández Morera – The myth of Andalusia Paradise. He uses sources from Muslims and Christian and it is nothing like we were taugh truth is even worst. If it was good why would the Moorish call it the Land of Jihad? I guess it doesn’t sound good.

        They will never forget Spain since the one who expelled them was Queen Isabella.

    • c matt says

      Jan 11, 2017 at 3:57 pm

      Sadly, it is no longer the Spain of Ferdinand and Isabella.

      • RichardL says

        Jan 12, 2017 at 12:42 am

        about half of the Spaniards are very Catholic, the other half is socialist. No overlap. But both sides see islam in a favourable light and the Catholics, like most people, think that islam is a religion like Christianity. They would feel un-Christian to think less of islam. The socialists are unreflected but they are, like all Spaniards, extremely generous.

        The police forces here are very smart and they are many. So I feel quite safe in Spain. At least compared to other European countries.

      …and a fine example that the tide can be reversed. “England is finished”, “Europe is finished” and similar statements often read here – unless meant to scare people wide awake to the danger – are NOT a helpful attitude.

    • Rob says

      “…Silly Islamics,..”

      We need to stop thinking like this. They’re not “silly” – they’re indoctrinated from birth; and never trained to think independently, and rationally – or even to use- or understand logic.

      Overcoming indoctrination on this scale CANNOT be effected overnight – it will take at least a generation of proper, non-indoctrination education – probably five or six generations given the scale of the problem

      And in the mean time, those who espouse this diabolical philosophy (if it can be called that) are not going to stand idly by, while the sane try to undo what the insane have built over a thousand years.

      There WILL be bloodshed; and the sooner we get used to this, the sooner we’ll stop agonising over alternatives; and drop the political correctness which stymies proper action.

      Islam needs to have its own tactics used against it, with three options:

      1. Convert to rationalism or…
      2. Be incarcerated with no parole EVER, or…
      3 Die

      Faced with this rationale, at least half of them will capitulate immediately – most of them young women. The rest must be encircled and kept away from rational humans; and every attempt at breaking out (if those trying to escape are not genuinely rational) must be treated with death.

      Their oil wealth must be removed from their control; and used to further a rational world in every way possible.

      This sound harsh, but there’s no other way to deal with such deeply-indoctrinated masses. A “softening” of Islam’s teachings is not possible – it will merely be Taqiyya; and the problem will emerge within a few generations, to haunt our progeny.

      A pragmatic think-tank of concerned, rational and intellectually honest men and women is an urgent need.

        “We need to stop thinking like this. They’re not “silly” – they’re indoctrinated from birth; and never trained to think independently, and rationally – or even to use- or understand logic.”

        Thank you very much. This is indeed true. The islamic culture has built many walls surrounding their culture and Religion to protect itself from foreign influence.

        Unfortunately this leads to the fact that even nowadays there is hardly a clear mind in the islamic world. I am a former convert to Islam and I really feel bad for a friend of mine who lives in Pakistan and first used to be Wahabi, then Shia and now is not belonging to any sect anymore.

        Despite the fact that I left Islam he still calls me brother. He has an M.D. and is centuries ahead of the People he lives with. Very tragic for him – it must be a Situation that drives you nuts.

        And while he is trying to get thousands of Dollars so he can legally migrate to New Zealand or Australia in order to work as an m.d. – others are pretending to be refugees only to enter countries and mess them up.

        I remember having a discussion with him a couple of years ago talking about the Migration from North africa. And he completely agreed with me, that this is a huge danger for us in Europe.

        It’s clear that he would be quickly eliminated if he ever became widely known – it is like in the middle Ages of our culture – you either follow the doctrine or you live a dangerous live.

    When an ideology, culture and religion create 96% of Terrorists in the world, something is just not right. Do not Judge those with a mental illness due to recessive genetic disorder. When a group of people inbreed for over 1400 years mental illness will happen. When first cousins marry and have sibling the gene pool becomes corrupted, especially after 50 generations. Mental illness is an illness that affects one’s ability to perform the simplest of acts ranging from tying one’s shoe, speaking in complete sentences, to even passing as a member of society. The lowest living form of life created for the purpose of failing. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation all fall victim to mental illness. If the parents have a genetic disorder, have a child and raise a child with this genetic disorder, this will create a child with a lower IQ. The social situation is also been known to lower the IQ of all those in his presence if prolonged exposure is endured. There is no cure for mental illness but avoid at all cost to limit the damage this can have on your own ability to function properly. The effect of this will be Increased insane criminal behavior, Schizophrenia, Increased risk of insanity, Mental retardation, Lower IQ levels, Recessive genetic disorders, Slow development of social skills, Malignancies, Congenital abnormalities, Physical handicaps, Autosomal recessive disorder and limited understanding. This is just one of the reasons that they act the way they do and what they do.

      I think this mental illness can be explained by demon possession.

        Jan 11, 2017 at 4:57 pm

        Djinn possession would be more accurate.

    Spain: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” opens fire in supermarket
    ……………………….

    *Horrifying*. Thank God this Jihadist was so inept that no one was injured–this time.

  5. Angemon says

    Jan 11, 2017 at 4:04 pm

    The man was reportedly carrying gasoline and gunpowder in his pockets

    Gee, I wonder what he has planning to do with that?…

    • bipedant says

      Jan 11, 2017 at 10:10 pm

      The gasoline — to start the BBQ.
      The gunpowder — fireworks, after the BBQ
      The gunshots — to grab the attention of some people he was going to invite to the BBQ.
      Well —- that’s what his mom told me

    “How long will it be before we hear that this jihadi had “mental health issues”?”

    Actually they already said this at the bottom of that express article:

    ‘The 35-year-old has been taken to a local police stations but refuses to speak to officers and shows no sign of remorse, according to insiders.

    Police sources told local media the gunman, who has been previously arrested, is believed to have psychological problems.

    The supermarket remained cordoned off while investigators questioned employees and witnesses.’

    These jihadees are all crying „Allahu Akbar“ similar as „Sieg heil!“ Why? The good muslims should more protest!

  11. Robert_K says

    Jan 12, 2017 at 5:54 am

    Akbar is the comparative (greater)/ superlative (greatest) form derived from kabiir (great) from the root kbr. Allaahu is the nominative form for Allaah. So Allaahu Akbar in the equational sentence Allaahu Akbar means either Allaah is greater or Allaah is greatest.

      Do Spanish police officers carry guns, or are they unarmed sitting ducks as in most of Europe?

  13. Nuria says

    Jan 12, 2017 at 11:23 am

    I am Spanish. One major problem is that the vast majority of Spaniards have an extremely low level of English, not to speak of other languages, of course, and rely only on Spanish-speaking sources of information. To make matters worse, almost 50% of Spaniards never, or hardly ever, read a book. I am aware this paints a dismal picture, but one needs to be realistic.

    Spain has gone a long way since Franco died, but in some respects things have not improved at all. Why this is so is not the point here, but its consequences are terrible and will be even worse. A country which is not interested in its own history or in fostering critical thinking and increasing the cultural level of the average citizen beyond the usual well-sounding mantras; a country where political correctness reigns supreme; a country where the latest boob-job of the latest celebrity occupies not only page 3, but page 1 as well in mainstream newspapers; a country where law-abiding citizens are punished for expressing their opinions; a country which criticises (and rightly so) the Franco dictatorship for its unbridled censorship but systematically and ruthlessly curtails freedom of expression; a country full of foolish, mantra-reciting quacks; this is the country where I was born, this is the country where I’ve lived most of my life. A country that has lost its guts, its will to fight, its capacity for (self-)critical thinking.

    This is Spain, likely one of the next countries where islamofascism is going to strike hard (for the second time) and where lots of innocents who are also aware of what is going on will unfairly pay a very high price because of the foolishness and cowardice of so many.

    Do I sound furious? I am. I found out about this latest islamo-event (not bad as a euphemism) in a British newspaper. Media blackout here in Spain has been ALMOST COMPLETE AND TOTAL, with only a few, very minor regional newspapers informing about it and only one nationwide newspaper reporting very briefly about the shooting, of course failing to mention the “Allahu Akbar” bit and focusing instead on the, you guessed it, “mental issues”.

    But, as said before, since most Spaniards are foreign-language illiterate, thinking as they do that Spanish should be the universal language (keep dreaming!), I am pretty sure only a few hundreds out of Spain’s 46,000,000 inhabitants know that this has actually happened, and quite a few among those will be content with the “mental issues” explanation and will go on to discuss the latest soccer results.

    Spain is doomed and, in our case, it’s such an outrage because we once were under the islamic yoke. How, OH HOW, can we be so stupid?

  14. Kay says

    Jan 12, 2017 at 12:37 pm

    We are all being duped. Between the normal busyness of our lives and the media’s complicity in keeping us unaware and our faithless leaders, it appears we don’t stand a chance.

    Thank goodness for Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and all the other beacons of truth who are sometimes mentioned on this website.

  15. Undaunted says

    Jan 12, 2017 at 7:43 pm

    “Allahu Akbar” is just a signal to begin target acquisition.

  16. Cbxi says

    Jan 15, 2017 at 4:10 am

    I guess this is what they mean when actual newspapers talk about “fake news”. The attacker, who wasn’t a muslim or islamist, wasn’t carrying gasoline nor gunpowder. He was just a mad man like all those you can usually see in the US. But that’s hard to rationalize, so let’s just blame it all in a religion and get on with our lives, right? You’re so blatantly ignoring the actual facts it is disgusting.
