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

Belgium: One in five mosques investigated for “extremism” in 2016

Aug 27, 2017 12:11 pm By Robert Spencer

What? Belgian authorities didn’t wave away concerns about the mosques as “Islamophobia”?

“One in five mosques checked for extremism in 2016,” Brussels Times, August 27, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Last year, State security investigated 58 places of worship as part of the fight against radical Islamism.

That means that one in five Belgian mosques was checked, according to Justice Minister Koen Geens. De Tijd reported on it on Saturday.

56 places of worship and 57 Islamic associations (compared to 61 in 2016) attracted the attention of Intelligence services in 2015, the Minister said when asked by MR MP Philippe Pivin.

A judicial investigation was launched in certain specific cases. State security inspects a mosque for several reasons: the mosque management, the imams that preach there or the visitors.

The service highlighted the fact that nearly all the mosques investigated were not recognised. “Our investigations focus on threats like extremism, the radicalisation process and terrorism. In this context, the religious communities are rarely recognised. Terrorist groups are not known for their theological training, on the contrary”.

That is a false statement. The Islamic State’s caliph al-Baghdadi, for example, has a PhD in Islamic studies.

      And the Islamonazi Pope wants christians to bring in more of his islamonazi friends.
      while the hypocrite hides behind personal security and 40 feet high walls !

      And now he even questions christians on their faith http://tinyurl.com/ydy8fkhl

      Buchanan is afraid that the US may never get back the moral, spiritual, and political commonality of the 1950’s. I think that it is restorable and will happen when the US is faced with war in the homeland and mandatory conscription. WWII was a war of survival for the US. There has been nothing like it and the soberness that it brought, since that time.

    Belgium should just close down all of those mosques plus any others and deport its Moslem population to Iraq or Syria

    Only 1 in 5? Clearly, Belgian intelligence is understaffed. 80% of mosques in the U.S. and Canada are estimated to be “extremist.”

    • WorkingClassPost says

      Yes, what about the others?

      They’re probably assumed to be peaceable because they haven’t been investigated.

        The army should go in. Overwhelming force. Simultaneous surprise raid-and-searches, of every known mosque, at ‘Friday’ ‘prayers’.

        Sniffer dogs and army sappers go over every building and associated grounds and premises – and every car in the car park, if the mosque has a car park. Traces of drugs? explosives? precursor chemicals for either? actual weapons of any kind? drug lab? weapons/ bomb-making lab? bio lab? / blood? fingerprints/ dna of persons on the criminal database (including the ‘unsolved crimes’ database? Tunnels? False floors/ false ceilings/ hidden safes/ stashes of identity documents (real and/ or faked)/ large stashes of cash (real or counterfeit)/ beheading videos and stoning-to-death videos, and jihad-recruitment-incitement and rabid antisemitic incitement vidoes?/ stashes of hardcore porn including kiddie porn/ any evidence of involvement with people-smuggling/ use as a ‘safe house/ any hint of involvement with organised crime? The place gets shut down and razed to the ground and the land is resumed by the government and assets are seized and devoted to 1/ costs of counter-terrorism, that is, self-defence against jihad and 2/ a compensation-and-support fund for Belgian victims of Mohamedan crime-and-terrorist attacks and their families.

        All persons on the premises at ‘Friday prayers’ get searched.. and they get the once-over from the sniffer dogs, looking for traces of explosives and/ or illegal drugs. Identity checks, immigration-and-citizenshp checks, and fingerprints and DNA are run past the criminal database.

        If this were done, loud would be the screams from all the usual suspects. but I just wonder how many jihad plotters and previously uncaught criminals would be identified, and how much welfare fraud and immigration/ identity fraud would be uncovered, and how many weapons would be found in how many of the mosques and/ or on the persons of the ‘worshippers’… and how many of those damn mosques would turn out to be stuffed full of weaponry and explosives, and/ or have bomb labs and/ or drug labs, and/ or dungeons with bloodstained walls, hidden underneath them?

    An examination of the mosque, drawing upon the work of ex-Muslim Sam Solomon.

    https://en.europenews.dk/The-Role-of-the-Mosque-in-Society-78895.html

    “Based on Mohammed’s example, everyone should walk to the mosque as he did. Therefore, there needs to be a mosque in every neighborhood. In larger communities, there would need to be many mosques, one in each neighborhood. Additionally, since Muslims who are living in a non-Muslim nation are in a perpetual state of jihad,2 the role of the mosque should be understood in this context, along with two other concepts: migration (hijra) and concealment or disguise (taqiyah).”

    “…Since the role of the mosque is so critical in securing victory over non-Muslims, mosques are sometimes built for the purpose of raising awareness of Islam among non-Muslims rather than serving the needs of the Muslim community as a place of worship. This is why a small group of Muslims in a non-Muslim community sometimes build a large mosque which far exceeds the needs of their group…”.

    You can get it at Amazon. Dirt cheap. Accurate and full of references to the authoritative Islamic sources.

    Mosques are NOT just ‘places of worship’. They are command-and-control centres for a cult of Blood and War that has been pushing relentlessly for Total World Domination – temporal, material, this-worldly, political to the nth degree – since the 6th century AD.

    Mosques are like a blend of a/ a thuggee temple (i.e. centre and focus of a Death Cult/ War Cult) b/ operating base of an organised crime ‘family’ (think: Mafia HQ/ Triad HQ/ home base of an outlawed motorcycle gang) AND c/ forward operating base/ fort/ recruitment centre of an invading and occupying army.

    ALL Infidel societies everywhere that see mosques popping up in their cities, towns and neighbourhoods must beware. Jihad will rapidly start happening in the vicinity of those Mohamedan fortresses and forward operating bases.

    The woman in the center holds a placard saying I am a Muslim Don’t panic. I think she can erase the first phrase and it will be Don’t panic. Then she can carry that one wherever she goes.

    The Arabs have to be given credit for their brilliant work of dumbing down and brainwashing Western Civilization to the point where over half of the worlds Christians and Jews and 99% of the worlds liberals and socialists are unaware that they will all soon be herded into ”Global Jihad Slaughter houses” to be exterminated just like Adolph Hitler killed 6 million Jews. This time Billions will be killed by the inbred- moon god worshipping – sharia law devotees..
