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

Sweden: Six more Muslims arrested over Stockholm truck jihad attack

Apr 10, 2017 9:56 am By Robert Spencer

“Police chief Dan Eliasson added the suspect was a ‘marginal character’ and was not thought to be under direct surveillance.”

There are just so many of these potential jihadis in Sweden now, the authorities can’t keep track of them all. Everything is going exactly according to the Islamic State’s plan.

“Police arrest SIX more suspects over the Stockholm truck attack as three are bundled out of a car linked to the atrocity and special forces raid a property 20km from the scene where four were killed,” by Jake Wallis Simons, Paul Thompson, Abe Hawken, Isobel Frodsham and Rory Tingle, Mailonline, April 8, 2017:

Police investigating the Stockholm truck attack have arrested six more suspects after three were bundled out of a car and police raided a property 12 miles from the scene where four died.

Officers smashed the window on the driver’s side of the vehicle, thought to be linked to the atrocity, and took three people into custody at 5pm, local media reported.

Later, heavily armed policemen raided a flat in the suburb of Vårberg and surrounded three people in the courtyard.

Police have not yet commented on the arrests.

Earlier it was revealed a 39-year-old Uzbek man arrested on Friday under suspicion of organising the attack was known to the police and had ISIS propaganda on his laptop.

Police also confirmed a homemade bomb was found inside the truck and the man arrested is ‘likely’ to be the driver.

Witnesses described seeing the killer setting himself alight in a failed attempt to detonate a bomb, said to have been in a suitcase, before fleeing in foot.

The father-of-four was qualified to handle explosives, a former colleague who interviewed him for an asbestos disposal job last autumn has said.

The head of Sweden’s domestic intelligence agency told a press conference the suspect had been on authorities’ radar some time ago.

Anders Thornberg, head of the Swedish Security Service, said: ‘The suspect didn’t appear in our recent files but he earlier has been in our files.’

In a further development, the first victim of the attack has been identified as an 11-year-old girl who was on her way home from school when the Islamist fanatic struck.

Her mother had previously released a desperate appeal for information about her whereabouts on Facebook. MailOnline is not identifying her at this time following a request from her family.

Police chief Dan Eliasson added the suspect was a ‘marginal character’ and was not thought to be under direct surveillance….

    A cost/benefit analysis of prospective Moslem immigrants should include the cost of keeping track of them. They’re explosive people. But this will never be done, because weighing the true costs of taking them in would result in no Moslem immigrants at all. Such a thing is too good to be possible.

      Even the most elementary analysis reveals that Muslims are a dead loss. They dont work, so they are in receipt of Benefits. Their women are forever pregnant, that means huge hospital bills, child care etc etc.

      Most of them are sub IQ, because of inbreeding – more costs. That is the initial costs.

      Then come security measures at airports, trains and ships. Then court costs, prison costs

      Of course Muslims do all this as part of the Jihad, as part of their Human Rights.

        Yes–besides everything else, Muslims are costing us a bloody fortune.

        This is intentional, in fact.

          Yes, time to revisit an article that Hugh Fitzgerald wrote last year.

          https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/08/hugh-fitzgerald-calculating-the-costs-of-muslim-terrorism-la-braderie-for-example

          Hugh Fitzgerald: Calculating the Costs of Muslim Terrorism: La Braderie, For Example

          It was also put up at the New English Review website.

          http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/64876/Calculating-the-Costs-of-Muslim-Terrorism-La-Braderie-For-Example

          Swedish members of this forum might like to translate Hugh’s article and spread it abroad. They could send copies of it – perhaps get it translated into Swedish – to their politicians. The Swedish Democrats could get it translated, and then draw on it for ‘talking points’ in Parliamentary debate on the subject of Muslim immigration and why it is such an *expensive* disaster.

          I should add that one of the things bin Laden did after 9/11 was not just gloat over the terrible loss of life and the destruction, but also over the financial damage that this would do to the United States.

          This, too, is a major goal of Jihad–to try to bankrupt the Infidels.

      You don’t need a cost/benefit calculation because EVERYBODY KNOWS there is a HUGE cost and NO BENEFIT. Leftwing government also knows this and therefore NEVER will allow numbers to be publicized. Geert Wilders from dutch PVV asked in parliament and was shut up because “putting a price on refugees is inhumane”. He ended up hiring an independant well known UK company to de the calculation. Results were shocking. The amount of money spent on immigrants is HUGE.
      And there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be expected in return from illiterate immigrants apart from bankruptcy of the system and total chaos in society !!!!

        This is what Pres Assad is up against. No wonder he is hated by the Sunnis, Saudi Arabia, and therefore United States.

      • DP111 says

        Apr 10, 2017 at 12:26 pm

        The Muslim Brotherhood is very strong in Syria. If they had succeeded in toppling Assad, Christians would have been massacred and driven out by now.

        This is what Pres Assad is up against. That is why he is hated by Sunnis, Muslim Brotherhood, and Saudi Arabia. Consequently Pres Assad is hated by the United States.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 10, 2017 at 6:40 pm

          Assad is a pretty nasty Jihadist himself–he is just the least worst faction in the region right now.

          Apr 13, 2017 at 10:13 am

          Assad a terrorist??? That’s what the americans and its allies want us to believe. With their war against this so called terrorist they have caused more damage to the country and it’s people than Assad could have caised in a 1000 years. Cities look worse than german cities at the end of WWII. The lives of millions of syrians have been destroyed. Loss of life, homes, work, school, water, electricity, THOUSANDS of children who lost their parents and have been mutilated etc etc etc etc. And NOT because if Assad but the DIRECT consequenced of the americans and its allies. People in the west cannot even begin to imagine the horrors going on just because America wants to impose democracy and human rignts in Syria !!!!
          It is TOTAL MADNESS and it is CRIMINAL !!!

      How could Clare Lopez have got it so wrong about shariah courts in Britain (at 32:30)? Nothing in any shariah council (not court) is enforceable under British law. The only enforcement comes from social or family pressure.

      BTW did you notice all the grey heads in the audience? Seems the same here from those posters I have seen mentioning their age.

      This is a fantastic 2014 video that covers 1400 years of Islam and is great for the uninformed who say that they “don’t have the time” to study it on their own. I’m sending this video to my Facebook, my Congressmen and my pastor!

    Sweden should deport several hundred thousand Muslims and scrape several hundred Mosques in response to every terror incident. The problem will resolve itself very quickly.

    • Benedict says

      Apr 10, 2017 at 10:18 pm

      Curiously: Three metro stations from Vårberg (where this radicalized Muslim had connections) in Fittja is the only mosque in Sweden located with the right to call to prayer on Fridays.

    I can see the motive now, BEER!
    =========================

    It’s a beer truck, and he/they must have been drinking this brand of beer, and it was stale. Understandably, the boys/youths were upset, and that caused the strong protest that occurred. Obviously, looking at them, they are unaccompanied children who fled a war zone all by themselves. They were in the process of integration, beer drinking – what could be more natural? But due to the negligence of the brewery and the general failure of the Swedish society’s integration efforts, they became consumer oriented activists, and had to send a strong signal, which is rather normal for a youth.

    So there, no terrorism and **nothing to do with Islam** – What a relieve!

    Who could think otherwise?

    The most efficient way of destroying Islam is by utterly discrediting Muhammad as a prophet and the alleged divine origin of his Quran as has been done in the attached video

    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

    First,that heinous and murderous truck jihad attack in Stockholm, Sweden reflects the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran. As, for example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Nevertheless, the apologists for Islam still have the gall to make the claim the “Islam is a peaceful religion.” What an outlandishly false claim to make .
    Second,the jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations be the Muslim terrorists in the city of Stockholm, London, Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.

    Years ago, Mr Hugh Fitzgerald (his nom de guerre, not his actual name), Mr Spencer’s good friend and colleague, penned a lapidary paragraph on the subject of Muslim immigration into the West (or, for that matter, anywhere else in the lands of the Infidels!!), which reads thus:

    “The large-scale presence of Muslims in the countries of Western Europe has led to a situation, for the indigenous non-Muslims and for other, immigrant non-Muslims, that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without such a large-scale Muslim presence.”

    I would encourage our Swedish friends here posting – and probably there are others who are lurking, perhaps not feeling confident of their English, being able to read and understand but not necessarily enter detailed discussion – to pick up that statement, translate it into Swedish, memorise it, print it off on little leaflets or stickers, and … spread it far and wide.

    And here is something else that ought to be translated into Swedish and circulated, for the benefit of such Swedes as are not comfortably conversant in English. It is a review and summary of a book by one ‘Sam Solomon’, an ex-Muslim (now Christian and, I think, resident in Canada), on the subject of immigration as a means of Jihad. It is called “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”. The book itself should be sent to every Swedish politico who *is* known to be competent in English, which I would assume most educated Swedes *are*.

    The Hijra
    By Janet Levy

    Modern Day Trojan Horse: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration
    By Sam Solomon and Elias Al Maqdisi
    ANM Publishers, 2009

    Every jihadwatcher here present – especially Swedes, Danes, Norwegians – who has NOT heard of this book… you *must*, if you possibly can. Translate bits of it. Use it. In conjunction with Australian scholar Mark Durie’s “The Third Choice” it is essential reading for anyone who is setting out to resist and reverse the Islamisation of their societies. It applies to the *all* infidel countries that have either voluntarily admitted large numbers of Muslims or find themselves with Muslims pushing in regardless (many formerly entirely non-Islamic African countries are in that predicament at present).
