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

Brussels: Man shot dead after attacking soldiers with machete

Aug 25, 2017 3:40 pm By Robert Spencer

White supremacists? A mentally ill lone wolf? Or Islamic jihadists? No telling yet, but there is this: the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“BREAKING: Machete-wielding man SHOT DEAD after attacking soldiers in Brussels,” by Will Kirby, Express, August 25, 2017:

A MAN armed with a machete has been shot dead after trying to attack soldiers on patrol in Brussels, according to reports.

Images on social media show a police cordon on the pavement on Boulevard Emile Jacqmainand a number of police officers stood nearby.

Gunshots were reportedly heard in the Belgian capital with unconfirmed reports claiming the man tried to attack two soldiers who were on patrol.

The soldiers are not believed to have suffered injuries in the attack….

Witness Ryan MacDonald tweeted: “Sound of gunshot, heavy police presence outside on Boulevard Emile Jacqmain, Brussels.”

    “Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….”

    Poison him? There goes my stopping for fast food! Chipotles anyone? Considering Muslim hygiene, they don’t have to try hard…

    “Kebab shop owners infected almost 150 customers with a rare and serious form of food poisoning after their meals were contaminated with human faeces”

      They’re getting creative. Now it’s feces jihad.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 25, 2017 at 5:28 pm

      We’ve seen feces Jihad before:

      “UK: Muslim who sprayed food with feces and urine can’t be deported”

      https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/07/uk-muslim-who-sprayed-food-with-feces-and-urine-cant-be-deported

      There have been a number of other cases, too. Of course, while both are dangerous, this is *much* uglier than just poor hygiene.

      • PRCS says

        Aug 25, 2017 at 11:12 pm

        Not jihad, but poor Sharia sanitation:

        I vaguely remember a JW article some time back about a food worker/shop owner who kept and used an unclean butt washing bottle on the premises. Can’t remember the whole story–but it wasn’t pleasant.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 26, 2017 at 12:23 am

          But sometimes this *is* intentional. There are cases of Muslims *deliberately* contaminating food with feces or ground glass–this is much uglier than even the worst hygiene.

    Seems that Euro cops are spending more time at the range…

    • Anne Smith says

      Aug 26, 2017 at 7:14 am

      The Euro taxpayers should be grateful they shot him dead. No courts costs, human rights lawyers to pay, no years of three Halal meals a day in a luxury prison.

      Shoot them all dead I say. It might save the poor taxpayers a bit of money.

    The media should be obsessing about attacks by Muslims on innocent non-Muslims. It’s obvious that the past few weeks have been filled with savagery by Muslims throughout Europe. The media never connects the dots. Never. But they know how to sustain hype when they are obsessing over alleged racism by Whites.

    So it’s obvious to me that the media actually likes it when a Muslim attacks innocent non-Muslims.

      • Mockingjay says

        Aug 25, 2017 at 8:22 pm

        Wow – you two must be psychic – this attacker was indeed a “Somali man” who, we are reassured by our national media, “wasn’t known to police” – just like those completely normal boys from Ripoll, Spain, hadn’t been conspicuous in any way before committing an atrocity in Barcelona.

        – Somehow the MSM doesn’t even grasp that the fact that these people can turn (jihadi) on us in an instant, is actually THE OPPOSITE of reassuring…

          we have 120,000 somalis in Minnesota, so the mayor will bring Syrians to create diversity.
          Google it!

        • J_not_a says

          Aug 26, 2017 at 3:12 pm

          Well, when the syrians and somalis start brawling between themselves, as we’ve seen different groups of “migrants” doing in Europe at their camps and in the streets of their cities, what are those handwringing, creampuff minnesotastan politicians going to label that as and who are they going to blame?

    • paul says

      Aug 26, 2017 at 4:39 am

      I give him 99% that his name is mohammed the asian

  5. dumbledoresarmy says

    Aug 25, 2017 at 5:12 pm

    And it happened on a *Friday*. The day most favoured by Mohammedans for the waging of mayhem.

    By now, law enforcement and ordinary Islamoware citizens, in every country currently afflicted with a mohammedan colony, should be particularly wary on Fridays.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 25, 2017 at 5:36 pm

      Yes–Friday after prayers is the most dangerous time to be around Muslims, as they are inspired by violent Kutbahs at the Mosque.

    Reuters reporting: LONDON – British police said they had arrested a man carrying a knife outside Buckingham Palace on Friday night, with two officers suffering minor injuries in the process.
    35 min ago.
    No name that I could see in the article.

      It will take some time to find out if he did not take his meds that day. Then to figure if just a lone wolf or a known wolf

      http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/buckingham-palace-arrest-knifeman-confronted-10488608

      no-one was injured in the incident and that it is not thought to be related to terrorism.

      “A knife was recovered,” the spokeswoman said. “The man has been taken to a central London police station.”

      The poor guy does look confused in the pictures and fortunately the police officers seem to be very helpful.
      Maybe soon the name will come up soon as they are pretty good photos.

    Another unemployed, poverty-stricken, bananna plantation worker swatting flies off the soldiers with his machete and mistakenly thought to be a terrorist. A terrible mistake. The mosque Imam asks that, in remembrance, please bring a gift that can be stored in the weapons cupboard.

    • James says

      There is evidence that Germany is doing so ?

      Not Germany. This happened in *Belgium*.

    The perpetrator must be a colonialist, or perhaps an industrial revolutionist. I heard it could also be Fred Flinstone.

    “Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….”

    That does not sound very peace-like to me. So much for Islam being the Religion of Peace(TM).

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Aug 25, 2017 at 8:20 pm

      Charlie Hebdo has caught up with the irony of the ‘religion of peace’ label that so many of the rest of us have been waxing satirical about for *years*.

        Aug 25, 2017 at 8:58 pm

        The only ‘peace’ that Islam provides is the ‘peace of slavery’ or the ‘peace of the grave’ – that is if there can be enough found of you to bother burying in one place!

          A liberal paradise where women can be raped on the street…

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 26, 2017 at 12:27 am

        DDA, great to see that Charlie Hebdo has found its spine again–I know they had backed off from criticizing Islam for awhile. Given the massacre there, this was understandable–but profoundly dispiriting. But this cover *is great*, and entirely spot on.

  13. mortimer says

    Aug 26, 2017 at 1:10 am

    Soon September 11 will be here and the jihadists will try to commemorate it. Everyone, look for suspicious activity and let the authorities know. Get pictures, if you can.

  14. paul says

    Aug 26, 2017 at 4:31 am

    You nasty islamophobes… He is simply practicing his religion, islam! No wonder the govt there has to jail you non believers for speaking out. For the sake of diversity, let him rape like he is in Rotterham, and kill like he is in antifa!

    You will be arrested for interfering with this poor man. Now, where do they send his welfare???????

  15. Tom from Brussels says

    Aug 26, 2017 at 5:39 am

    He had TWO korans in his possession. Guess he wanted to be perfectly sure of his actions.

    The Brussels prosecution office has opened an official enquiry to see if the shooting was “legitimate”.. I suppose his human rights were somehow ignored.I don’t know if it’s stupidity or something more insidious.
