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

Brussels: Man who attacked soldiers with machete was shouting “Allahu akbar”

Aug 26, 2017 8:06 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

And here we go again: even though the man “shouted Allahu Akbar as he launched his attack,” the “motive of the man” has “not yet been conclusively confirmed.”

Brussels is home to the notorious jihadist hotbed of Molenbeek, and it was reported on August 24th that Belgian police have had to open almost 200 terror-related cases since the beginning of 2017.

Jihad suicide attacks at Brussels airport and a metro station last year left 34 dead and 230 injured. News then emerged that Belgium was warned a decade earlier about the jihadist hotbed in Molenbeek that was turning young men to jihad activity.

Only four days before the Brussels attack, the “most wanted man in Europe” in the Paris jihad attacks that killed 130 people, Salah Abdeslam, was captured in Molenbeek, where he grew up. Many concluded that the arrest led to the attack in Brussels.

Raids were conducted upon this “jihadist hotbed” of Molenbeek back in January, but as usual, there have been no adequate followup reports about the problem being solved, because to flush out and deport the jihadists of Molenbeek would be “Islamophobic.” Belgium “has provided a steady flow of fighters to ISIS in the Middle East.”

One also wonders why is the proliferation of violent Muslim no-go zones is being tolerated in any Western country.

“‘Allahu Akbar!’ Brussels Machete Man Shot After Attacking Soldiers”, by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, August 25, 2017:

Soldiers in Brussels, Belgium have shot a man after he attacked soldiers with a machete, injuring two….

Early reports indicate that the attacker — who is thought to be alive but in critical condition — was a 30-year-old Somalian who shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he launched his attack. One of his victims has been left with a head injury….

However, the name and motive of the man who attacked the soldiers today — if known — have not yet been conclusively confirmed.

    No wonder Americans want to keep their guns, we had a buy back in Australia many yrs ago, got rid of my rifle, bad mistake, now I can’t get another.
    The thing is, decent law biding citizens can’t get weapons, whereas crims can get just about anything they want
    These parasites are cowards, just like the Palestinians, they always attack ppl when they are just out and about minding their own business, shopping getting on a bus etc, these are these mongrels targets

      “…decent law-abiding citizens can’t get weapons…” This statement is NOT correct – however, the stumbling block for many would be that they don’t provide the required “reason to acquire.” If you’re not a prohibited person, then I suggest you join the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA). The only firearms (they are NOT WEAPONS! ) that were to be handed in were unregistered firearms, and those of an illegal category. There is currently an amnesty for unregistered or prohibited firearms by the way. Even non-members of the SSAA are able to purchase legal firearms if they can provide a typical “reason to acquire” – that is, if they live on a farm and need a rifle or whatever for their occupation, or belong to a rifle or shooter’s club, or have written permission from a landowner to shoot for recreational purposes or to hunt, on his property.
      A permit to acquire is required firstly. If you show you are a responsible person, with the correct info. you may then once you have that permit, purchase your specified firearm., registered in your name.

    Not the first, and not the last, as long as the authorities refuse to admit that their open borders policy is the reason why Muslims are murdering innocent Europeans.

    There is a method to the madness… in not recognizing Islamic terrorism. The Globalists are using Islam to destabilize society and to persecute Christians.

      This level of continual Western Political Cowardice in refusal to confront ISLAM & call it out & deal with the Teachings of Abuse is going to have HORRIFIC CONSEQUENCES for many thousands in the WEST !

      The PUBLIC still seem determined to pretend that everything will sort itself out with LOVE !

      ISLAM is out to DOMINATE & the LEFT is the FACILITATOR !!

      VERY HARD fore me to Understand the thinking on the LEFT & so far at least NOTHING makes sense !
      WHY would anyone set out to DESTROY your own home & gladly help while others do so ???

    Allahu Akbar, the little sand island of last resort, is located up the paradise river, with a panoramic view of houris, pearly boys and the best cuisine. When life is too much, when it doesn’t comply with the Quran, and makes a brother feel suicidal, the refuge awaits. The cost of entry is only one infidel; which at the current exchange rate equals one shahid. Only highly motivated brothers need apply for reservations, as there is a long waiting list of applicants from Europe.

      They used to run a regular bus service, but I think they couldn’t keep up with the volume of traffic, so now there’s a conveyor belt, to transport the ‘brothers’ to their houris and pearly boys.

      There’s even a helpful chap with a pitchfork, waiting to unload them.

    Obviously, if the authorities say the motive is unclear, then that’s it.

    Personally I think he’s a mentally ill, lone wolf, and that it’s got nothing to do with islam.

    Now move along please.

      Come on WorkingClassPost, get real and get a life…such stupidity and crass ignorance such as that which you display, show how little you understand Islam and it’s adherents – as well as the authorities “reluctance” to state publicly the guy’s motives.
      As for the perp., to be “mentally ill and a lone wolf”, well the former may be correct, and the latter, a definite, otherwise why defend the possibility of Islamic influence? (That is, if you’re not pro-Islam yourself!)

    Well I don’t think any of us thought for a moment that he might be shouting ‘Hare Krishna’.
