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

Swiss government asked head of Islamic State jihad terror cell to work with Muslim migrants

Oct 11, 2017 7:31 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another demonstration of the fatuousness and cluelessness of most non-Muslim authorities, and of the impossibility of distinguishing genuine “moderates” from “extremists.”

“Head of Islamic State Terror Cell Was Approached By Swiss Government to Work With Migrants,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 11, 2017:

The Swiss Federal Prosecutor’s Office (BA) has claimed that an Iraqi migrant named Osamah M. who was found guilty of heading an Islamic state terror cell in Schaffhausen, Switzerland was approached by authorities to take care of asylum seekers.

Paraplegic Osamah M. was charged by Swiss prosecutors with aiding the Islamic State terror group and plotting a terrorist attack alongside three other Iraqi migrants. While he was sentenced to four years and eight months in March of 2016, he was later released earlier this year after an appeals court found his sentence too harsh, Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten reports.

Now, a new report shows that Osamah M. was approached to work with newly arrived asylum seekers because authorities at the time believed he had a good grasp of Arabic and German.

Journalist and jihadism expert Kurt Pelda said, “If that had happened, it would probably have been a disaster,” and called Osamah M., “pure Islamic state.”

Pelda claimed also to have read some of the chats between the terror cell leader and the other jihadists saying, “they are evil.”

Andi Kunz, Head of Asylum and Refugee Support for the Cantonal Socialist Office of Schaffhausen denies that anyone approached the jihadist. “Osamah M. has come to us with the desire to support refugees in the language courses,” he said  and added, ” he wanted to receive assignments and give tutoring.”

According to Mr Kunz, the office rejected the offer from the terrorist though others have claimed that an agency from the Swiss capital of Bern had told them not to allow the terrorist near asylum seekers.

In 2015 Jean-Paul Rouiller, the creator of the counterterrorism unit of the Swiss Federal Judicial Police (PJF) called the terror situation in Switzerland “unprecedented.”

“One thing is clear. Switzerland and especially Geneva is threatened. And this threat is related to the Islamic State group,” he said….

    What the hell is wrong with these people

      Case of dumb and ignorant.

      More evidence(if more were needed)of the total ignorance and ineptitude of these people which if course is in line with the so called leaders of the rest of Europe.The whole of the ruling elite is locked into a leftwing mindset which paralizes any thought other than the accepted one of appeasement at all times.

    Well for goodness sake, who are they going to ask? Where in the hell do you expect the Swiss to find a really good, qualified terrorist, to teach, rape, pillaging, child molesting, bomb making, wanton killing and murder and how to treat women like a filthy disease? Because sure as hell they have no interest whatsoever in doing anything else with this slime. So, might as well do it right. I have absolutely no sympathy, NONE, for the gutless, spineless cowards of Switzerland. Democracies get the governments that they deserve. And Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, the UK, et al are simply reaping what they have sown. The seeds of violence, rape, killing, and general all around insanity.

    The logic of Swiss politics. If you have fire issues, talk to an arsonist.

      Agree with MF… but not just the Swiss. The British, Swiss and Swedes ask the terrorists to help them do counterterrorism.

    Could it be that the Swiss authorities, in reality, have “flipped” this Osamah M. … where, he now will be working covertly by interrogating and investigating all the prospective muhammedan “invaders”, but he will really be working as a “mole” … for the Swiss?

    [Full dhimmi sarcasm intended.]

    ………………….

    Just when it seems that Switzerland is at least partially an oasis (pun intended) of sanity in Europe, we get this madness.

      The headline is misleading. Picking interpreters among asylum seekers is nothing new. I know one first hand from the 80s of Aramaic ethnicity from Turkey who was approached for the same reason. You will prosecuted for distributing isis propaganda in Switzerland.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 14, 2017 at 12:51 am

        Interpreters have to be vetted. Acting as though this is no big deal is anything but useful, I’m afraid.

        Punished then released when they later decide it was too harsh.

    Oct 12, 2017 at 2:19 am

    Have all governments gone mad? Asking a Jihadi to work among and with refugees? Is this how securities
    work? Johnny C is right and they all have flipped.

      “Have all governments gone mad?” A one-word snappy-catch answer…YES!

    Maybe the Swiss should have asked FOR his head..

    ……………and then sent it to islamic state in a box with some flowers and a card.

    I no longer feel sorry for these fools. They are marching to their own destruction. It may serve as a warning to the rest of the world.

      Myanmar has HAD their warning. Have you noticed that the ‘mainstream sold out to the highest bidder media’ are exaggerating the response by their authorities and minimizing/downplaying the FACT that said response was due to ATROCITIES committed by these barbaric ignoramuses…

    Foolish Swiss Government?As a Swiss I say YES.But from where do these immigrants come to Switzerland?All of them travel through our “friendly” neighbouring states like Italy, France and even Germany. Germany rejects Muslims and sends them back to Switzerland, althoug it was at the invitation of Mme.Merkel that over a million ran into Europe.Germans have increased their border controls (at the time not permitted by EU) AT THE COMMON BORDER OF SOUTHERN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND.They are just liars, the same as the Italians.

  13. James Stamulis says

    Oct 12, 2017 at 6:44 am

    This is like asking Gotti to work with Italian immigrants so they go the right way instead of joining the Mafia. Pure liberal insanity.

    The future generations of Europeans will curse these stupid and coward leaders of theirs.

    I STILL BELIEVE THAT THE WEST HAVING THROWN THEIR OWN FAITH OUT WITH THE BATH WATER THEY NOW SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND RELIGIOUS FANATICISM & BELIEVE THAT IT CANNOT BE IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY !

    BUT IT IS HERE & VERY DANGEROUS TO DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES BECAUSE DEMOCRACY IS UTTERLY HATED BY THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM ! THE MOST TOLERANT & PEACEFUL OF RELIGIONS !

    OUR SO CALLED LEADERS STEADFASTLY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN IDEOLOGY WAR ON !
    ONLY STEPHEN HARPER – THAT i CAN SEE & DONALD TRUMP HAS STATED THIS ! HARPER SAYING THAT THERE IS A WAR ON & TRUMP SAYING : THEY HATE US !
    BOTH RIGHT !

    HARPER THROWN OUT OF OFFICE IN PART FOR THIS DECLARATION ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES BUT THEN COMES MUSLIM JUSTIN – & HIS SOROS & WAHABI FUNDED MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD LIBERALS & ISLAM & AND END TO FREE SPEECH & SHARIA ARE ALL ON THE CARDS & THE MAJORITY OF CANADIANS ARE FAST FAST ASLEEP !

    SWITZERLAND ALSO SEEMS JUST AS DETERMINED TO REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WAR AT ALL !
    I WONDER HOW MANY HAVE TO DIE IN THE WEST OR BE RAPED & BEATEN BEFORE WE AGREE THAT WE ARE BEING ATTACKED???

    • Hot hach says

      Oct 15, 2017 at 1:08 am

      YOU ARE SO RIGHT ! WHAT FOOL WOULD THROW “REFUGEES “ INTO THE HANDS OF AN ISIS OFFICIAL SO HE COULD CHEERFULLY RADICALIZE THEM ??? HAROER WASNT PERFECT BUT HE HAD BALLS WHEN IT CAME TO THE ISLAMIC THREAT TO CANADA.

    I think that they simply are following the philosophy that “if they just had a good job and were educated” they would quit killing infidels. They still are using that same concept here in the USA>

  17. The Rationalvoice says

    Oct 12, 2017 at 10:14 am

    Lots of comparisons here.How about “its like putting Dracula in charge of the Bloodbank” !!!!

    Of course when the shit hits the fan they will all say “It vasn’t me,I vas only obeying orders ”

    The Krauts have had plenty of practice saying that even former SS officers claimed that and many got off
    scot free !!

    “Swiss government asked head of Islamic State jihad terror cell to work with Muslim migrants”

    Is this a government or a slapstick comedy brigade?

    This is why they are ignorant. Great breakdown, well produced.

    These Government Administrators are just like Babes-in-the-Wood as far as Islam and Muslims are concerned. I wonder if it ever occurs to them that they should read the source of Islam ; Qur’an, Sunna of Mohammed and Hadiths.

    It is no different almost everywhere…in the ‘west’…we are doomed. The next Dark Age is being ushered in by the same ignorant players that ushered in the last. With “authorities” that STUPID it is a certainty….

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 14, 2017 at 12:54 am

      We are only doomed if we roll over for Islam. Some of us do not plan on doing that.
