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

Stockholm truck jihad murderer: “I’m pleased with what I’ve done…I drove towards the infidels”

Apr 12, 2017 12:55 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadis usually couch their actions as retaliation for some supposed atrocity of the infidels, because defensive jihad in response to an attack by infidels is always allowed, and doesn’t require explicit orders or sanction from the caliph.

“‘I’m pleased with what I’ve done’: Stockholm jihadi killer says he ‘achieved what he set out to do’ and that terror attack was retaliation for Western military action against ISIS,” by Jake Wallis Simons, Mailonline, April 9, 2017:

The shameless Stockholm jihadi killer accused of killing four people and injuring 15 others by driving a truck into the city’s largest shopping centre has boasted to police interrogators that he is ‘pleased with what he has done’.

When questioned by officers, 39-year-old Uzbek fanatic Rakhmat Akilov freely admitted his crime, smirking that he had ‘achieved what he set out to do’, a source inside the police told the Expressen newspaper.

He also admitted to being part of ISIS and said that the order to launch Friday’s atrocity came directly from the group’s high command in Syria.

Under interrogation at Kronoberg prison, the 39-year-old fanatic told police that he ‘drove towards the infidels’ in retaliation for Western military action against ISIS, demanding that ‘the bombings in Syria must stop’.

The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the killer was so keen to tell officers that he was linked to ISIS that he made the claim even as he was being wrestled to the ground in Märsta on Friday evening.

‘I bombarded Sweden because you bomb my country,’ he reportedly said.

Police have confirmed that Akilov had an explosive device beside him in the cab of the hijacked lorry as he mowed down pedestrians on Drottninggatan high street in central Stockholm last week….

    ‘I bombed Sweden because you bomb my country’ – said the Uzbek.
    Sweden now should retreat iits military and stop bombing Uzbekistan at once!

      As posted on another JW post about this–If Uzbekistan IS NOT IN ANY WAR, WHY WAS HE EVEN ALLOWED TO TRY AND CLAIM REFUGEE STATUS?

      (My two guesses– free money and the Swedish blonds).

      Any other views?

    As long as the ideology of Islam gets unabashed as long the ideology is a temptation for Muslims and others unfitted for the civilized world.
    It is common knowledge that to beat an adversary, which is fueled by an ideology, an overwhelming military drive against its social and political center is necessary.
    An ideal constellation would be an alliance between the US and Russia, preferably with China, which could drive the evil Islam out and away.
    Well, the world doesn’t look like it. Russia has ties with the epicenter of evil, Iran and China handle its own Muslims without great problems. Thus only Europe is the great loser.

      Not really, Kiel. China has problems with Jihad attacks, and has practiced its own appeasement, exempting Muslims from the “One Child Policy” and allowing them to carry knives.

      And I’m afraid that Russia has problems with Islam, too–just look at Beslan, the terror attacks in Moscow, and the recent bombing in St. Petersburg.

        The WHOLE WORLD has got problem with ISLAM.I is a form of acute mental illness. and it is terminal .The WEST needs more 9/11s to wake it up. Appeasement would never work with Muslims.

        I read recently that China has totally discontinued its one child policy, despite having a population so large that it can’t be fed properly, and doesn’t have enough water.

        Maybe they did that because they HAD to do it to shut the Muslims up, and then couldn’t leave the native Chinese on such a restriction when the Muslims were free to behave like vermin with regard to reproduction.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 13, 2017 at 11:03 pm

          This is true, Jeanette–China ended its One Child Policy. But most Muslims were exempt when it was in force.

    Rakhmat Akilov is pleased with the murders he committed. ‘ALLAH’ will reward him, or so he believes and well over 200 million Muslims worldwide also believe it.

    There are now still over 200 million Muslims who want to see all of us DIRTY KAFIRS DEAD!

    Is that a ‘phobia’ or the fact? PEW research says it’s a FACT.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 13, 2017 at 1:09 pm

      The Operator’s Manual for Muslims instructs that all non-Muslims be killed.

      Those who are following that Operator’s Manual number 1.7 billion, not 200 million.

      The fact that they haven’t attacked or killed anyone yet doesn’t change that (and we also may not KNOW about all the attacks and murders).

    He appeal to dems/ liberals/feministics. They dont believe he did it. They just can not get it in.they think he needs protecttion from bad nazi-sympathizers. In these days and ages libs/ dens/ fems are deeply unfit to rule our countries.they lack something, clear thinking i guess.

    That should be a lesson for all those fools who keep saying “Why Sweden”, “Sweden dindu nuffin”, etc. There are two groups of people: the followers of Mohammed and infidels/ apostates/ heretics. The latter may be murdered for it pleases Allah. In his case, he thinks the latter attacked the former. All the more reason to kill them although the bloodthirsty Allah does not really need a reason.

    – Simple.

    That piece of maggot crap murdered an 11-year-old girl. Where are the photos in the media? Where is the outrage? I noticed the NYT this morning had a pathetic photo a tyke allegedly from Mosul holding his little hands to his dust-covered face. I think the paper was trying to evoke “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, but I first thought of Macauly Culkin in “Home Alone.
    The media manipulates us like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs, expecting us to drool on sight. Swedes with a brain have got to come to and boot their immigrants and their treacherous, heartless elite into Dar-al-Islam.

        Thank you for the information; it gave me good search terms for Google. Television just has the same old talking heads repeating themselves night after night. At least that poor kid’s death is kicking some people in the pants over there. I hope it wakes up their brains.

      “The media manipulates us like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs …”

      We (meaning westerners) ALLOW the media to manipulate us. A people who refuse to be manipulated couldn’t be – not by the media. Maybe by some kind of military mind control, but not by the media.

      Too many westerners don’t WANT to know the truth, because somewhere deep down, they suspect that they are going to find that they’ve been wrong all these years, or decades. And because truth has no cash value.

    The most efficient way of destroying Islam is by Discrediting Muhammad as a prophet and the alleged divine origin of his Quran as shown herein

    I dare any Muslim or any of their brain dead supporters to prove anything I reveal about the depraved Muhammad and Islam in this video as either wrong or false

    Of course he is pleased–bloody Jihad thug.

    ‘I bombarded Sweden because you bomb my country,’ he reportedly said.

      He can say whatever he likes. He knows he’ll probably only get the equivalent of a slap on the wrist by the Swedish so-called justice system. Rapists who streamed their crime on Faceache have been told they will not be deported. .

    Akilov needs to be deported back to Uzbekistan.

    Muslims simply have NO place in Sweden. They just don’t.

    Perhaps Allah’s punishment for unbelievers would be the appropriate punishment for this terrorist-believer. After all, how could that be so bad, seeing that Allah is just and “merciful”? Allah wouldn’t subscribe to torture, would he?

  20. Anne Smith says

    Apr 13, 2017 at 6:02 am

    I am amazed that the press printed his words. It puts the simple reasons for all these atrocities firmly in context, something the politicians have been trying to hide for each and every crime.

    Even after the murderers of Lee Rigby stood in the streets with blood dripping from their hands and declared they h ad done it for Islam the British press and politicians firmly refused to believe it had anything to do with Islam.

    “Nothing to do with Islam” has become the great mantra of the ruling classes.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 13, 2017 at 1:15 pm

      They didn’t refuse to believe – they know the truth.

      They are covering for Islam and Muslims. And since politicians virtually never do anything that doesn’t benefit them, we have to ask how Islam and Muslims are benefiting them.
