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

Germany: “Serious explosive devices” go off near top soccer team bus, injuring player

Apr 11, 2017 4:39 pm By Robert Spencer

“Right-wing extremists”? Must be. After all, it couldn’t be Islamic jihad terrorists, right? It’s a religion of peace!

Seriously, even if this isn’t jihad, it shows how the culture is corrupted by jihad. Human being are imitative creatures. Just as there was a spate of assassinations in the 1960s, there could very well now be a spate of bombings committed by non-Muslims, who see how jihadis perpetrate attack after attack and are rewarded with appeasement and accommodation.

Or it could be…Islamic jihadists.

“Germany: Player hurt in blasts near Borussia Dortmund bus,” by Martin Meissner, Associated Press, April 11, 2017:

Three explosions went off near the team bus of one of Germany’s top soccer clubs as it set off for a Champions League quarterfinal match on Tuesday evening, injuring a player.

Police said in a statement they were working on the assumption that the blasts were caused by “serious explosive devices,” which may have been hidden in a hedge near a car park.

They didn’t elaborate on the possible nature of the devices or say who might have planted them ahead of first-leg match between Borussia Dortmund and Monaco, which was subsequently called off and rescheduled for Wednesday.

Police said that there were three explosions near the Dortmund team bus as they left their hotel on the outskirts of the western city of Dortmund for the stadium, around 10 kilometers (6 miles) away, at around 7 p.m. local time (1700 GMT).

A window on the bus was damaged and Spanish defender Marc Bartra was injured.

Dortmund said Bartra was taken to a hospital. Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke said Bartra was injured in the arm and hand “but nothing life-threatening.”

Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Buerki said the team bus had just pulled out of the hotel driveway when an explosion — a “huge bang” — happened and sent glass flying. The Switzerland international told Swiss daily Blick that he was sitting in the last row of the bus, next to Bartra.

Bartra was hit by shards from the broken back window, he added. Players ducked for cover, wondering whether there would be more explosions.

“We’re all shocked — nobody thought about a football match in the minutes after that,” he said….

        Hi ECAW,

        Actually there are two ‘confessions/claims’.

        One is the Muslim letter left at the scene, the other in immediate posting by Antifa, which has been deleted. However, PI-News managed to get a snapshot of the post.

        It’s here, though in German: https://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2017/04/antiva_bvb-1.jpg

        Personally though I think more of a Muslim attack, Antifa just saw a chance to “be in on the act”.

        Keep well

          Yes, it’s unclear as yet. Naturally I at first suspected a Lutheran black op.

          Always the Lutherans! Why? Why? Could also have been the Amish!

      What was this about? I saw people running

      But totally a waste. My view. What was or is it. Is it relevant to this post.

    Well we are all suffering now in the West because our stupid leaders were and are oblivious to the danger from Muslims both within our countries and from without our countries.!
    When will they ever learn ?Never it seems !

    • Wellington says

      Apr 11, 2017 at 5:10 pm

      I lean to “never.” Which is why the West needs a whole new crop of leaders who have imbibed what people like Robert Spencer, Hugh Fitzgerald, Nonie Darwish, Raymond Ibrahim, Bat Ye’or, Oriana Fallaci, and Ibn Warraq (Winston Churchill, Bertrand Russell, Ernest Renan, Arthur Schopenhauer, John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, David Hume and Edward Gibbon too) have had to say about Islam.

      Oh yeah, a whole new crop. A much better informed crop. The present crop is pretty much over the hill, useless and even harmful. No doubt. Trump may be a step in the right direction. I think he is though the verdict is still out on him.

      • Oliver says

        Apr 11, 2017 at 11:32 pm

        Trump has been in office about 10 weeks.
        . Obama and Bush 3 had 16 years to screw up things
        And Clinton 8 years before.

        I thought so too, but times are changing. Muzzies shot themselves in the foot by attacking a soccer team. Fans are very touchy about that. Borussia Dortmund fans accommodated Monaco fans, they spent a lot of time together not only discussing soccer, but also the jihadi threat that’s looming over the whole civilized world, not only the West.

        To your list I’d like to add David Littman, Bat Yeor’s late husband, Henryk M. Broder (a Jewish publisher in Germany), Walid Shoebat and my French friends Alain Wagner, Pierre Cassin and his group Riposte Laique. The French are the ones suffering most from Islamic attack and they know how to retort. http://www.desislamisation.eu/images/affiche_beziers.jpg
        I went to that conference and it was absolutely great, you can see that there are a lot of organizations fighting against the jihadi invasion.

        Take good care my friend

      Our leaders are not oblivious. They’re deliberately using the Muslims as proxy warriors against us. The geritocracy declared war on Western Civilization in the 1960’s. They become more heinous with age and only death will stop them. Case in point; Jorge Bergoglio. ⚜

    LIFE-STYLE JIHAD … There is no fun in Islam. There are no jokes in Islam. Islam is serious authoritarian and theocratic.

    Games are not mention in the Koran or hadiths except negatively. Play has no place in Islam… except when Mohammed mentioned ‘play’ with little girls to whom he was married. Creepy.

    ISIS wants to kill us when Western men and women are ‘ILLEGALLY’ mingling in events.

    THIS IS LIFE-STYLE JIHAD aimed at condemning our free, egalitarian Western life-style. It’s a war against all tax-payers and a war against women and children in REVENGE for the collateral killing of ISIS families, which, as we know, are used as HUMAN SHIELDS so that they can be used to produce the justification for RETRIBUTORY ATTACKS against Europeans and Middle Eastern Christians (even though Middle Eastern Christians are non-combatants).

      Hamas and Hezbollah also use human shields
      Illegal
      Note to Muslims illegal is a sick bird.

      Nut illegal as per the Useless Nations and Geneva conventions.

      So what is don Israel is blamed when human shield children are killed

    How many times have we heard of “zealous, pious” muslims in places like Afghan, Pakistan, India, etc. bursting into bars and cafes, etc. to attack and kill people merely enjoying a sporting event on satellite television or even listening to such on the radio? We know they view engaging in sports or merely enjoying watching sports as harem and “unislamic”.

    The Daily Mail mentions some sort of letter in the German Polices’ posession which could hold some clues in this case but would not elaborate. We also know that German law enforcement and and pols are under instructions from the “highest up” (Merkel & her top people) to keep islamic links to terror under close wraps. So sickening.

    Guys, the Antifa published a letter saying it was them. Dortmund has pretty nationalist fans: Borussia Dortmund means Prussian Dortmund. The hard left is pretty strong here: they get loads of money from the State.

    Not all crime is mohammedan. In Germany only about 60% is

    Muslims fled the mid-east to promote chaos everywhere and it is working. First comes a terrorist lying about his goal, then comes a request for government money to support the new immigrant, then they build a Mosque helped by Saudi Arabia, Iran or Satan, then they preach hatred and foment chaos….this is Islam in a nutshell.Wherever Muslims go this is the outcome until thy actually start killing all unbelievers-infidels , is their word for everyone else and to kill an infidels gains paradise, 72 virgins and a welcome from Mohammad. Study it and you will conclude they are evil.
