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

In raid of London jihad mass murderers’ safe house, copy of Qur’an opened to page describing martyrdom

Jun 11, 2017 12:40 pm By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the impression that the London jihad massacre had something to do with the Qur’an and Islam. Good thing we have learned imams such as Pope Francis and H. R. McMaster to explain to us that it ain’t so.

“London attackers’ fake suicide belts revealed,” Sky News, June 10, 2017:

Photos of the fake suicide belts worn by the London Bridge attackers have been released, showing disposable water bottles wrapped in masking tape.

Police said they were designed to create “maximum fear”.

“It could be that they had plans to take the attack into a siege situation or it might be that they saw it as protection from being shot themselves,” said Commander Dean Haydon.

“It makes the bravery of those police officers and members of the public who tackled the terrorists even more remarkable,” he added.

“The belt would have been visible to them and if you are fighting back or aiming a shot at someone wearing the device, you would clearly be very aware that you could be caught in an explosion.”

It comes after detectives gave new details about how Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba prepared their atrocity.

Police say the trio used a bedsit in east London as a safe house and rented a van after unsuccessfully attempting to hire a 7.5 tonne lorry.

In a raid of the address, investigators found an English-language copy of the Koran opened at a page describing martyrdom, pieces of cloth on the floor that appeared to have been cut from grey jogging bottoms and two five-litre water bottles smelling of petrol….

    As I haven’t said it in some time, thank you Mr. Spencer for the many years you’ve devoted to educating people on jihad and martyrdom theology. I think I’ve learned more useful information reading JW (and the old Dhimmi Watch) than I would have spending money on a PhD in Islamic studies from Georgetown or Harvard. And by “think” I mean I’m certain, empirically.

    I believe that the fake belts were worn to ensure their path to “martyrdom”. They knew that the police would have to shoot to kill, to prevent the belts being detonated.

    … Islam has NOTHING to do with Islam.

    The voluminous, primary, Islamic source texts are 51% about JIHAD, but Pope Francis and H. R. McMaster do not know that because they have not STUDIED those texts. And yet, PREPOSTEROUSLY, Pope Francis and H. R. McMaster present themselves as AUTHORITIES on Islam.

    The POPE has a RELIGIOUS DUTY TO TELL THE TRUTH and ADMIT HE IS CLUELESS about JIHAD.

    BY LYING about JIHAD, the pope is committing a MORTAL SIN and LYING TO CATHOLICS. Moreover, the POPE’S LIES show a BAD EXAMPLE to Catholics. ALL CATHOLICS have a DUTY TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT JIHAD.

      That’s what I find so very strange. The pope is a Jesuit, and the Jesuits pride themselves in scholarship. I would expect that there are several scholars of Islam among them – without a doubt! Then how can the pope come out with the clueless statements he makes? I can’t explain it except invoking dark conspiracy theories, but I stay away from those. There are things in this world we may never know, and we must accept that before inventing conspiracy theories with no evidence beyond what I have stated.

    Take a look at the above photo of “Molotov cocktails”. This is a complete misinterpretation. The fluids in the plastic bottles are innocent Zamzam water and medicinal camel urine.

    Well,it might help the Londonistani police to ascertain a possible ..motive.

    Or maybe not.

    The Politically correct Police Constabulary in the UK(The pc PCs)under their mayor Sadiq Khan probably don’t want people to know that there is an obvious link between that islamic tendency to go on the rampage killing all the infidels..and allah’s koranic command to “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” k2:191
