“My sons are dedicated Muslims and pray several times a day, but they are tolerant of dissenters.”
Oh, well, then. Dedicated Muslims? Then this must all be a mistake. Everyone knows, as Hillary Clinton reminded us in 2015, that “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.”
“Dutch brothers arrested as terrorists in Suriname; family shocked,” by Janene Pieters, NL Times, July 27, 2017:
Two Dutch terror suspects arrested in Suriname on Sunday are brothers N.H. and R.H. who live in Paramaribo and work in an Islamic butchery in the Surinamese capital. Both were born in the Netherlands and have Dutch nationality. Their family is shocked by the arrests, NOS reports.
On Sunday masked and heavily armed members of the Surinamese police’s SWAT team came into their home and arrested them on suspicion of terrorist activities. They are still in restricted custody and have no contact with the outside world, not even with their lawyer.
The men’s family did not want to comment extensively on the arrests. Their mother told NOS that she is shocked by what happened. “My sons are dedicated Muslims and pray several times a day, but they are tolerant of dissenters”, she said. Their sister also can’t imagine her brothers involved in terrorist activities….
Neighbor Shanti Ramautar told Surinamese television station Pipel-tv that one of the Dutch men was brought outside with a paper bag over his head, in front of his son. “I have lived here for seven years and never noticed anything strange. Our children and theirs play together. These are people who take meat to the mosque during Ramadan. I do not believe this. This arrest is a major allegation and I think that the Surinamese authorities must come with evidence quickly”, she said….

I can understand Hillary Clinton saying that they (Muslims) are peaceful. Qatar gave her foundation a few or more million dollars, and , presto, she and her family were not killed and they got missiles- and the Qatar rulers did not use them against anything that the Clinton’s or their friends own.
Now, if they (or any other Muslim nation) gave money to the Clinton Foundation or HRC, during the primary and election seasons, and now they cannot collect, then, the Muslims might not be so peaceful.

Wasn’t Suriname a peaceful place? Kind of laid back, with little crime?
Or, am I thinking of another place? (Or, another time?).
Johan Elzinga says
Suriname is a banana republic, with crooked law and a very corrupt criminal mr Bouterse as a president, someone who murdered personally a number of opponents in a prison years ago by gunning them down.
Suriname is also the ex colony of the Netherlands, where I live. However, those two criminals were on the way to the Netherlands to commit violent crimes, to massacre a lot of people. I am grateful to Suriname that they managed to take them out and put them in prison. In Suriname it is more likely that they will not EVER leave prison, and I would be very willing to lend mr Bouterse a machine gun so he can personally murder this couple. In the Netherlands it would have been more likely that they would have been released for “lack of evidence” after a couple of months. The Netherlands is now known to allow parole to murderers to visit their wife in another country (because she was pregnant) or for any stupid excuse, and then we are all very surprised that they do not return to undergo their prison sentence.
Terry says
Thank you, I was unaware of that.

blij een mede Surinamer hier te zien
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Muslims peaceful?
This is how the Turks treat Syrian refugees.
One may ask the question will the liberal West object or is that Edrogan and his fellow Turks have a bad case of Islamophobia.
Possibly these Syrians youths were Christian, therefor the Left and Turks will be off the hook,

” dedicated Muslims and pray several times a day”.
What’s so suprising! They were only following their religion.

Suriname: Two “dedicated Muslims” arrested on suspicion of jihad terror activity
…………………..
This is what “dedicated Muslims” do.
And this is more proof that nowhere is safe from Jihad.
mortimer says
‘DEDICATED’? ‘DEVOUT’? ‘PIOUS’?
Well, the most important action in Islam which shows ‘DEDICATION’ is jihad. Mohammed’s litmus test of ‘DEDICATION’ is the willingness of Muslims to conduct jihad. That is how Mohammed determined who is a genuine Muslim and who is a lukewarm, non-practicing ‘hypocrite’.
Lukewarm, non-practicing Muslims do not go on jihad. Lukewarm Muslims go into trades, business or farming. By this test, most Muslims today are condemned. Non-jihadist Muslims have abandoned original Islam … plundering the dirty kafirs, enslaving them and killing them in jihad.
Narrated Mujashi: My brother and I came to the Prophet and I requested him to take the pledge of allegiance from us for migration. He said, “Migration has passed away with its people.” I asked, “For what will you take the pledge of allegiance from us then?” He (Mohammed) said, “I will take (the pledge) for ISLAM and JIHAD.” – Bukhari 4,52,208
