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

Tunisia: Imam leads jihad attack against police checkpoint, murdering police officer

Mar 13, 2017 1:58 pm By Robert Spencer

“The policeman who was killed was 25 and left behind him a pregnant wife and a daughter,” but the imam no doubt thought he was performing a supreme act of righteousness and would be rewarded by Allah.

Anyway, an imam? A man who has dedicated his life to understanding and communicating Islam properly somehow gets the idea that his religion commands violence against those whom he deems to be heretics or unbelievers? Why, how can this be? We can only hope that George W. Bush and Pope Francis are on their way to Kebili now to explain the true, peaceful nature of Islam to these “militants.”

“Policeman killed in southern Tunisia attack,” by Massinissa Benlakehal, The New Arab, March 13, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Tunisian police officer was killed and another was injured in an overnight ambush by four militants in the city of Kebili, 500 kilometers south of the country’s capital.

Two of the motorcycle-mounted attackers were killed and another was seriously wounded, while the fourth attacker fled on foot, according to statement of the interior ministry.

According to an eyewitness who saw the attack from his balcony, the police’s quick response foiled what could have been a much deadlier attack.

“I was in my house’s balcony around midnight when four attackers riding on motorcycles attacked the police checkpoint near the post office,” Moncef, a schoolteacher whose house is only fifty meters from the scene of the attack told The New Arab.

“One of the attackers went into the driver’s side of the police car and stabbed the officer inside, while the other one was in the passenger’s side,” he said, adding, “They (attackers) wanted to take over the police car from what we saw.”

The officer who was stabbed managed to use his gun and shot one of the attackers.

“People from the nearby coffee shop immediately after the shooting stopped went to the scene,” Moncef added. “Citizens stopped one of the injured attackers who was trying to detonate the explosive device inside his motorcycle’s engine.”…

Hedi Boussafa, a local radio journalist, explained that the attackers were young people aged between twenty and thirty.

“They come from the area,” he said, adding “One of them is a vegetable vendor while the second one is an imam of a mosque.”

The policeman who was killed was 25 and left behind him a pregnant wife and a daughter….

    News;

    The problematic MP of Turkey “Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya” will visit Turkish Consulate of New York to talk about the Erdogan’s Referendum… This is propaganda for Erdogan !!!

    She is declared as “PERSONA NON GRATA” in EU. I hope the US will be as brave as DUTCH people and not allow her entry to the US.

    Date: 14th of March at 17.00 @ Turkish Consulate NY

    It is your turn to STOP her !

      Thanks, EmHotep. Here’s more on the situation with Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya:

      “Turkish family affairs minister detained by Dutch authorities”

      http://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-referendum-netherlands-protest-idUSKBN16I0SX?il=0

      And here she is, ranting about how democracy has no human rights and is “fascist”. That Turkey is making such charges against civilized Holland is, of course, ludicrous.

      Here’s her Twitter feed in English translation:

      https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=tr&u=https://twitter.com/drbetulsayan%3Flang%3Den&prev=search

      And now it looks as though not just the Dutch have banned her, but the English Consulate, as well.

      She is banging on about the “Ottoman Empire”, as well, a polity that has not existed for over a hundred years. This should not surprise, though–Erdogan does this all the time, and seems to want to bring back the Caliphate.

        Hi Gravenimage, they lost the control and I am afraid they are capable of doing anything including secret terror attacks in EU. I hope the US will reject her visit to NY she is pure jihadist..

        There is also news in US;

        https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2017/03/13/how-europe-can-stop-turkeys-neurosis-from-spreading/?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-f%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.dd3160513a54

        What did we do wrong to deserve this paranoid dictator 🙁 I hate islam.

        Best Regards.

    And a Toronto Iman said all jews will be killed….

    Canada where are you?? PM Trudeau – why dont you, for once, speak and defend the Canadian People.

    Why aren’t you speaking out against this man and getting him on the next plane, boat, out of Canada!

    Why are you allowing terrorists into Canada!

      Trudeau isn’t gay, is he? If he is, he and Obama would be perfect for each other!

    just so I can begin to start to grasp how this works, on a scale of 1 to 10 , where 5 is “moderate muslim”, where does this imam fit in? or did it have nothing to do with islam?

    • Angemon says

      Mar 13, 2017 at 4:43 pm

      Of course it had nothing to do with islam! Since when is an imam related to islam?!?!?!

      • DFD says

        Mar 13, 2017 at 5:46 pm

        Damn! I never thought of that. Do Jihadists and Mujahadeen belong to Islam?

      Grimly hilarious, Halal Bacon, Angemon, and DFD.

    Tunisia: Imam leads jihad attack against police checkpoint, murdering police officer
    ……………………………..

    Horrible. And led *by an Imam*–could you ever imagine a Priest or Minister doing any such thing?

    Over on the “German efforts to deport North Africans thwarted by upper house” a (supposedly non-Muslim) Tunisian apologist for Islam, Rami Ouanes, is going on about how ‘moderate’ Tunisia is, and how “racist” it is for Europe to resist an invasion of violent Muslims.

    Does he want to see Muslims murdering police officers in Europe? Or is it “racist” to ask such a question? sarc/off

      Maybe Obama’s “God Damn America” pastor!

    Slightly off topic
    ============

    But only slightly. here’s a picture of a street in Berlin. Ironically the name of the street translates into “Sunny Alley”

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 13, 2017 at 6:26 pm

      **Yuk**, DFD–not an non-Muslim in sight, in one of Europe’s greatest cities.

      Wikipedia says that Sonnenallee, which dates back to the 19th century, is now known as “Little Beirut” or “Gaza Strip”.

      There was a book and film, “Sonnenallee”, made in 1999 and set in the 1970s, about the importance of pop art and music to kids in East Berlin yearning for freedom. The changes in a few short decades–first for the better, then *very much* for the worse–are just flabbergasting.

      • DFD says

        Mar 13, 2017 at 8:00 pm

        Graven,

        You said it all with one, the first word: **Yuk**. I couldn’t have said it more eloquently.

        BTW, my home towns are Berlin and London…

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 13, 2017 at 8:09 pm

          Dear DFD, it breaks my heart to see what is happening to London and Berlin.

          And I have relatives in England, including a cousin and her family who live in North London, and my aunt who lives not far away in Southend-on-Sea at the mouth of the Thames.

        • DFD says

          Mar 13, 2017 at 8:27 pm

          Dear Graven,

          “…live in North London, and my aunt who lives not far away in Southend-on-Sea…”

          That explains a lot. 🙂

          Southend was once rather beautiful, cheerful actually.

          All the best
