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

UK: Jihad drone attack fears led soccer bosses to call for closure of stadium roof

Apr 14, 2017 11:19 am By Robert Spencer

The United Kingdom is at war with an enemy its leaders are afraid to name. Those leaders meanwhile hound and persecute all those who point out the existence of this war, and encourage and appease and accommodate those who spread the enemy ideology.

How can this possibly end well?

“Terror drone attack fears on Cardiff stadium cause UEFA chiefs to call for closure of roof,” by Tanveer Mann, Metro.co.uk, April 14, 2017:

UEFA bosses tried to close the retractable roof of the Millennium Stadium in Wales over fears terrorists could fly a drone into the ground during the Champions League final.

They are said to have held secret talks with Welsh authorities in a bid to prevent an aerial attack on the Principality Stadium in Cardiff during the fixture on June 3.

The roof is usually only shut for bad weather, but following the terror attack on Borussia Dortmund’s bus earlier this week, fears have been heightened.

UEFA director Giorgio Marchetti has said ‘all possible risks’ are being taken into consideration.

An official told The Sun that UEFA chiefs discussed the possibility of closing the roof with police and FA Wales.

They added: ‘Security will be massive. Now they are proposing closing the roof as they fear terrorists with drones.’…

    perhaps now the western countries will anti drone defenses for all major venues. TOO bad they let the barbarians into the country in the first place! think of the blood shed and money spent in the West combating islam(ic extremism)

      This is exactly what al Qaeda predicted shortly after 9/11, and it has come to pass. The West is now well on the way to exhausting itself financially through the deployment billions of dollars worth of counter measures against jihadi actions that we “fear” might happen. Every jihad attack in the West heightens the fear and accelerates the financial bleeding. How long can we keep this up? Ten years? Thirty years?

      Pamela Geller quoted a German Colonel from 1941, just prior to Germany’s invasion of Russia, who presciently said: “The invading army is like an elephant attacking a host of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, perhaps even millions, of ants, but in the end their numbers will overcome him, and he will be eaten to the bone.”

      How many ants do we have the resources to kill before we too are eaten?

        The BIGGEST Jihad action of all, costing hundreds of billions, is not only being ignored but actively encouraged—–MUSLIM MIGRATION INTO EUROPE.

    Instead of shutting the roof to appease Jihadists, they should bring in anti aircraft missiles and shoot the bastards down. m

      They probably worry that this could injure those in the stadium. Of course, a drone attack on a closed roof could still injure those outside the stadium.

      Even a few years ago, could you imagine that we would even be discussing this?

      There was a film in 1977 called Black Sunday about an attack on the Super Bowl. It was, as I recall, considered pretty far-fetched at the time.

        Many movies are, I have long thought, predictive — almost an announcement ahead of time, of what is coming. The TV series X-Files always seemed to me, to be a ‘telling to the people’ what the government has done, is doing, and will do, and here’s where we’re headed.

    On the general subject of security and Muslims in Europe, see the story in today’s Daily Mail online about a female Muslim at Rome Airport who went on a characteristic hissy fit because she was asked to remove her hiqab for security reasons. The staff at Rome Airport stood their ground and didn’t take any of her histrionics. However, so self-righteous was she and so keen on playing the hard-done-by victim that she videos the whole thing on her phone and posted it on Facebook, which is where the DM got hold of it (shouldn’t that have been illegal?). A couple of things about her amazing lack of awareness; 1. She pointed to a couple of Roman Catholic nuns who were wearing their normal headgear – OK, headgear is headgear, but was she totally unaware of the vast chasm between the security track records of Muslims and nuns? And at ROME airport?; 2. She referred to herself as a ‘Muslim LADY’. No more comment.

      Jayell, I believe if something is posted on Facebook that it is considered to be public; hence, any news source can pick it up. There have been a few stories here on Jihad Watch based on Facebook posts.

      Here is one such, as reported on Fox News:

      “Mateen’s murderous Facebook posts reveal his hatred of the West and loyalty to the Islamic State”

      Awesome observation of the difference between people of a peaceful Christian Religious Order and self absorbed, demonic, hateful zealots who think they can go through airport security in a headbag disguise.
      Any female that says they “willingly” wear a burka is now psychologically dependant on being able invisible after being fully subjugated by a mysoginist “cult-ure”, a cult that seeks to keep girls uneducated & ignorant fodder for child rapists, as per moohuMAD’s example.
      Ask Malala why the taliban shot her in the head.
      It was only throug western Christian civilized charity & medical expertise, and a Miracle of Jesus that she survived!
      It won’t be long before jihadists, in the true spirit of ‘taqiya’, start dressing as priests & nuns to carry out their evil atrocities….

      If our population was what it should be, there would be no question in anyone’s mind that someone who follows a book that commands that she kill everyone who doesn’t belong to her cult/clique is to be killed could by any stretch of the imagination, be called a “lady.”

    Bomby weather

    Nice that politicians there feel approximately 0% embarrassed by this. In all seriousness — they probably take a perverse pride in it… as in would pass a lie detector if asked, “Are you proud to go to such lengths promoting cultural enrichment and tolerance?”

    “None so blind”, etc.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 15, 2017 at 9:45 am

      Or it’s deliberate. Muslims are being used to make a start on the Globalist World Depopulation.

      The Globalist Elites have infested their countries so that the Muslims WILL kill people.

    ‘ISLAMIC’ TERRORISM is the ENEMY to be stopped. ‘ISLAMIC’ terrorism comes out of Islam’s primary source texts.

    If you deprogram those who believe in ‘ISLAMIC’ TERRORISM which comes out of Islam’s primary source texts, you must DEBUNK those source texts.

    All Western governments in order to DEFEND THEIR CITIZENS have a DUTY to IMMEDIATELY develop the most ADVANCED protocols to deprogram jihadists RIGHT OUT OF ISLAM. This can be done, but it must be done by governments, covertly or overtly.

        Apr 14, 2017 at 10:16 pm

        It has never worked because Western leaders prefer talk over action; the most effective cure for Jihadists is a piece of lead in the ear.

        A dead jihadist is a harmless jihadist (unless glorified as a martyr, duh).
        Treason & subversion are Capitol offences.
        Execute them.
        Execute them all, especially the cowardly promoters & preachers of jihad.
        And while your at it, round up the cowardly PC enablers in “gov’ts” for Dereliction of Duty, treason, subversion of decency & endangerment of the citizenry!!
        Put them in a public stockade so the survivors and the families of jihad attacks (committed by progeny of the sanctuary sewer no-go zones) can horsewhip them to perdition.
        Start with angula burqel, Hadith hollande, trudolt & khalid, and of course the entire so called “gov’t & police force” of sweden.

      I think in general, this doesn’t work. I agree with gravenimage.

      However, there are enough stories of people who have been programmed by the government — as sex slaves, for one. Quite a legion of stories, and people who have told what happened to them. I suspect we know very little of what the gov’t does, and even less of what they are capable of and developing.

      Could something like this be done on the massive level it would take to deal with over 1 billion Muslims? Not likely.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 15, 2017 at 9:49 am

      Do you have female relatives that you are willing to leave unprotected from the Muslims while the long, drawn-out course of government-planned, government-tested, government-approved, and government-implemented deprogramming works its way through the system?

      I don’t even want my dogs to be in a country loaded up with Muslims – get them out!

      And any official who fights that finds his/her name and address has been printed on leaflets and dropped into Muslim enclaves.

    When we embrace Radical Multiculturalism we condemn ourselves to a future Bunkered existence. Every direction we look there exist open possibilities for Militant Traditional Islam to do us harm and to strike fear into our hearts.

    Based on Fox’s report today about armed drones, you must be aware of my novel INDEFENSIBLE and the threat of #HITECHJIHAD

    INDEFENSIBLE, is a compelling, exciting, fast-paced and important story. A story about weaponized personal-drones in the hands of embedded terrorists that usher in a new high-tech-age of terror.  A story I am sorry to say is more prophetic than fantasy.

    INDEFENSIBLE is available in Kindle and paperback from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014Q1O086  and free to KindleUNLIMITED members.

    I read somewhere that there was a plan to make Wales (the region of the UK where Cardiff is) into something like a sanctuary city.

  11. Anne Smith says

    Apr 15, 2017 at 1:42 pm

    What hope is there when we have the BBC Today programme – as heard this morning – with an “expert”(interviewed by a Muslim woman, Mischal Hussein) explaining that the attack on the football bus in Germany was nothing to do with ISIS, as they cannot prove any links to ISIS. He posited the theory that it could have been a fan who was disillusioned with the team!! Or indeed someone with mental health issues. All the usual cover up rubbish.

    While this shilly-shallying goes on the Muslims are ever more emboldened. I just hope and pray Marine le Pen gets in and helps to strengthen the resolve of the weak Sharia May.

    This suicidal or death-wish point of View in the UK is nothing new. Their, Overlords, prioritize Islamophobia as a greater priority of a threat than the safety of their citizenry… excluding Muslims. The Brits would forever boast they had not been conquered in one thousand years. Ironically, they have opened the gates to their conquerers and refuse to admit it. History will lament the day that Great Britain and the EU were eradicated because of the malignancy of the 21st Century, Political-Correctness and the flaccid leadership of the said nations.
