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

Germany: Muslims planned to finance jihad massacre with money extorted from the Vatican

Jul 11, 2017 2:34 pm By Robert Spencer

They “plotted to have two suicide bombers set off explosive vests and then open fire on passers-by with automatic rifles.” They “hoped to finance their plot by selling to the Vatican a video showing proof of life of a priest who was kidnapped by IS in Syria.”

Nothing a little “dialogue” won’t fix. Maybe Pope Francis could travel to Düsseldorf, slip these poor dears a few bucks, and explain to them how true Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Düsseldorf terror plot: Three in court over plan for ‘IS’ bloodbath,” DW, July 5, 2017:

Three men accused of plotting a killing spree in the German city of Düsseldorf have appeared in court. The attack, using explosive vests and bullets, was to be financed with money extorted from the Vatican.

The three defendants, identified as Saleh A., Mahood B. and Hamza C., appeared in the dock on Wednesday, accused of plotting suicide bombings and shootings in the western city of Düsseldorf.

The three were “believed to have plotted to have two suicide bombers set off explosive vests and then open fire on passers-by with automatic rifles,” the Düsseldorf court said in a statement.

The case was brought after 25-year-old Syrian Saleh A. went to a police station in Paris in February last year and told police he “had a certain amount of information about a sleeper cell that was read to strike in Germany.” A. was extradited to Germany in October.

German authorities believe Saleh A. and Hamza C., 27, joined the extremist group “Islamic State” (IS) in Syria in early 2014. It is there that A. was said to have been given orders for the attack from the leadership level of IS. They crossed from Syria to Turkey in 2014 and were said to have reached Germany, traveling separately via Greece, between March and July 2015.

Massacre planned in the old town

Saleh A. was then believed to have drawn up plans for the attack in which two of the jihadis would detonate explosive vests in Düsseldorf’s historic old town. Another attacker would then have been placed at the old town’s exit, where he would have been tasked with killing as many of those fleeing the scene as possible with automatic weapons.

The two were then said to have convinced co-defendant Mahood B., 25, to join them in the plan.

The three hoped to finance their plot by selling to the Vatican a video showing proof of life of a priest who was kidnapped by IS in Syria.

All three men are accused of planning a terror attack and of being members of IS. Two of the three men were to be assessed psychologically to assess their capacity for criminal responsibility….

    Why didn’t they just ask for the money when he was washing their feet?

      I was thinking the same thing. If the Jihadi wannabes had just nicely asked the Islam appeasing dhimmi Pope, he would have given them the money.

    Prophecy says the Pope will be kidnapped and Rome will be the capital of the Caliphate !

      Nicu, have you read Alois Irlmaier?

    • Rufolino says

      Baba Evangelia apparently prophesied years ago that Rome would become capital of the European Caliphate in 2043. People must have thought she was mad.

      • Mockingjay says

        Jul 12, 2017 at 8:23 pm

        Rufolino, you mean Baba Wanga – I have read about her too.

        – Having been a very famous visionary all her life, she died in 1996, in Sofia, Bulgaria, and predicted the coming of a third world war, as she called it “a big muslim war against the West”.

        – She even supposedly predicted that “it will all start in 2010 with insurrections and civil wars in the islamic world”.

        – And yes, she also said that muslims will conquer Rome and declare a European caliphate – at least for a while.

        – I have, however, never before seen the year you mention (2043).

        This date could be accurate, of course, as the date of 2010 was so as well, – though sometimes it feels that all of these things may already come to pass a lot sooner…

        We don’t know.

        I, however, take these predictions VERY serious – as she is not the only one – not by FAR.

        There are MANY predictions by German and Austrian seers who say pretty much all the same things.

        – There is, f.e. another female visionary (she died 1951) , who was called “The seer from the Ótztal (Austria)”, and who literally prophesied a third world war that would be “MAINLY ABOUT RELIGION” and that people in Austria WILL GET MURDERED INSIDE THEIR CHURCHES…

        Most of these prophecies seemed indeed completely insane not that long ago.

        They don’t anymore.

        I see them as truth – at the very least as a possible scenario that we are heading for if things don’t change.

        But chances are, they won’t.

    “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them). – Koran 8.60

    Quote: “plotted to have two suicide bombers set off explosive vests and then open fire on passers-by with automatic rifles.”

    Why is Pope Francis such a dunce? Islam is the religion of JIHAD, not peace.

    Germany: Muslims planned to finance jihad massacre with money extorted from the Vatican
    …………………..

    And how did they plan to extort money from the Vatican? With a video of a priest kidnapped by their vicious coreligionists.

    God, I hate Islam.

  5. Jayell says

    Some more misguided criminals who ‘don’t understand their religion of peace and purity and sweetness and light’…….just like their hero Prophet who apparently didn’t understand his own religion, as Mr. Spencer so correctly pointed out recently.

      I hope they are loosing grounds. The Identitaires from Germany, France and Italy have started for the Lybian coast in order to send the invadors back to Africa. The German DIE WELT is disgusted. Most of the commentators are aproving of this action.

    And it’s a matter of 2 + 2 = 4.

    quran teaches violence against non muslims + muslims carry out violence against non muslims
    = islam is a violent religion in an active sense

    Duh.

    German news media are reporting that “tourists from the U.S.” stole a lamb in Iceland and cut its throat.

    http://www.spiegel.de/reise/europa/entsetzte-islaender-touristen-schlachten-lamm-a-1156121.html

    You have to click on an Icelandic link tucked away at the bottom of the page to find out who these “tourists” are: nine AFGHANS resident in the U.S.

    http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/news/2017/07/03/tourists_in_east_iceland_steal_lamb_and_cut_its_thr/

    • Mockingjay says

      Jul 12, 2017 at 7:23 am

      This is bloody incredible, MasQueNada.

      Just BLOODY incredible.

      – This is how we are constantly deceived by our “trusted” media.

      I see the german article is mainly about how “tourism is overwhelming Iceland” and that there are an “increasing amount of incidents where tourists misbehave.”

      Keep it up Iceland!

      Keep poisoning the people who are trying to warn you!

      BLOODY idiots.

      (- but anyway, thanks for taking the time to inform us about this, MasQueNada.)

      Good God–these thugs are *not* Americans.

      And how are Afghan “refugees” able to take a trip to Europe, yet resort to stealing sheep? Madness all around.

      No, Frankie’s head is well above the sand. What Frankie is, is dupe.
