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

Netherlands: Knife-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” threatens passersby

Nov 24, 2017 10:41 am By Robert Spencer

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….

But there’s nothing to be concerned about. “The suspect appeared to be a ‘confused man.'” Of course. What else could he possibly be?

“Moment police officers fire warning shot at a knifeman after he ‘shouted Allahu Akbar’ before wrestling him to the ground in Holland,” by Gareth Davies, Mailonline, November 23, 2017:

This is the moment police officers fired a warning shot at a knifeman who allegedly shouted Allahu Akbar after threatening several passers-by.

The tense situation started yesterday morning in Urk, a traditional fishing town in the heart of the Netherlands, when he entered a petrol station at around 8.30am looking confused.

He then ran outside and threatened passers-by whilst shouting the Arabic phrase which translates to ‘God is greatest’, according to witnesses.

The petrol station employee said the man was looking ‘more confused than actually dangerous,’ adding he wasn’t waving a weapon inside the building.

Outside the petrol station, the man pulled out a knife which he started to wave around, threatening passers-by.

According to media reports, he sang songs containing the words ‘Allahu Akbar’, Arabic for ‘God is greatest’.

In reality, it means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god.

Worried citizens immediately alerted the police, who arrived soon after at the scene.

Amateur footage filmed from a nearby building shows the police officers arriving in their patrol car.

They carefully approach the man with their firearms drawn, after which the aggressive man can be seen putting his hands in the air.

Just as the man is apparently about to get down on the ground, he suddenly gets up again, making a stabbing movements towards an officer, and a warning shot is fired.

The police officers then run towards the man and manage to restrain him.

It is unclear what caused the man to walk around with a knife threatening several people.

According to a police spokesman, the suspect appeared to be a ‘confused man’….

    It is a very common thing in Pakistan every Friday.. Muslims charge out of their mosques after Friday Jumma noon prayers with swords, knives, and even guns and pick on passerbys at random and threaten them and sometimes even reported to injure them very badly. God forbid, if U are a non-Muslim passing by and U are the wrong place at the wrong time!!

    I hope that I never encounter this while I am out and about because I have made up my mind long ago, that I will engage. I really don’t need the hassle that would come of it, but I certainly cannot and will not tolerate this sh*! In my presence.

    I’m very sorry, this has nothing to do with this story, but this item from the UK Daily Mail is UNBELIEVABLE! JW readers simply MUST see this one!!!

    A female teacher accused of sexually assaulting a pupil claims that her written marriage proposal to her asked: ‘Will you merry me,’ not ‘marry’, a court heard.

    Aveesha Ahsan, 33, from Lewisham, said she had only innocently kissed the girl, who she regarded as her ‘sister’.

    The teacher insisted the handwritten note which has been taken to read ‘marry’ is innocent too and explained to merry her meant ‘to be friends’.

    She told Inner London Crown Court: ‘It is about the friendship, but in the end I made a nasty joke, “Will you merry me”.’

    ‘It is like we are friends, you are my sister and we can be friends so at the end I wrote down, “Will you merry me”.

    ‘Merry – it means, will you accept my asking you to be friends.

    ‘I am Muslim, how can I marry her? We do not do things that way.

        I think the point here is that we’ve heard stupid, sub-adoloscent, contrived garbage like this many times over the years in ‘Monty Python’ and ‘Fawlty Towers’ comedy scripts where the joke lies in the ridiculously unconvincing crassness of the so-called ‘excuse’. On the TV it’s clearly a joke. This (I think?) real-life woman must be so dense as to believe that a British court (and the British public) are going to give it so much as one second’s credence, even less accept it. Or is she so out-of-touch with the UK cultural environment or/and full of her own righteous self-importance that she really believes that any old nonsense will get her off the hook? That would be really insulting. The other insulting thing that I did not quote was that she said in court that she consulted one of her ‘asian’ friends/colleagues, who advised her that ‘all these girls are up to this sort of thing’ (‘these girls’ I presume being ‘English’ girls?), and her dubious shenanigans were therefore ‘OK’. This all seems to fit with the whole ‘grooming gang’ scenario and seems to suggest an underlying presumption on the part of a majority of these ‘people’ (not just a few renegades) that the indigenous English population exists as an amenity for their use/delectation at their pleasure, rather like a combined hotel valet/escort service. And clearly they expect to get away with it.

    Confusion of the “confused man” could be permanently cured by election of Gert Wilders as prime minister of Netherlands. Unfortunately, citizens of that country shared equal confusion with that “confused man” and did not choose to do that the last time they have had the chance. So, let them be hunted by more such “confused men” now!

    • MFritz says

      Nov 24, 2017 at 12:25 pm

      The problem with Wilders is that he’s too far on the right – at least for Dutch taste. They find him “scary”.

      He could have won the last election easily had he just kept close to the migration problem. And left the “scary” stuff out out the election.

      Besides, there also was a press campaign going against him. And not only in the NL. Guess WHO funded them (once again)…

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 25, 2017 at 12:18 am

        Wilders is a virtual socialist on fiscal matters–not exactly “far right”.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Nov 25, 2017 at 5:16 pm

          I like the man and what he says, but at the end of the day he is a European politician; socialism is almost genetic these days i think,

    The “confused man” wasn’t killed. Does this mean he won’t be going to paradise?

    In fact, it is the *only* thing that guarantees access to paradise–no amount of prayer, Zakat, or going on the Hadj does the trick.
    And why is this? Because murdering Infidels is considered not just a good deed in Islam, but the best action any Muslim can take.
    The Qur’an mentions the Houris at least five times, as in “We created the Houris and made them virgins, loving companions for those of the right hand” 56:36 Dawood; “They shall recline on couches lined with thick brocade, and within reach will hang the fruits of both gardens. … Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched (opening their hymens with sexual intercourse) before. … Virgins as fair as corals and rubies….” 55:54-58 Dawood. The number 72 comes from a hadith
    How is the “extremist” vision of paradise different from this one? the contract in sura 9:111?
    The true vision of desire presumably also must include 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30 and 33:59. Or 65:4 allowing sex with your pre-mensturating “woman”.
    “Desire”–only if someone’s understanding of desire is *rape*.
    Qur’an 9:111 for the guarantee of paradise for the one who kills or is killed fighting in the cause of allah.
    9:111 “god has purchased the persons and possession of the believers for the Garden. They fight (q-t-l kill, massacre) in god’s way. They kill and are killed. This is a true promise given by Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur’an. Be happy with the bargain you have made, that is the supreme triumph.”
    inshallah is what all Muslims say, incessantly, Allah permitting. Yes, everything is at the whim of Allah.
    Qur’an 4:24 “let those of you who are willing to trade the life of this world for the life to come, fight (kill q-t-l) in god’s way. To anyone who fights q-t-l- in god’s way, whether killed or victorious, we shall give a great reward.”
    “Sunan Abi Dawud Book of Jihad, intercession of the martyr, hadith 2522 ‘the martyr can intercede for seventy members of his family.’ This hadith has been classified as good by al-Suyuti, who records it in his hadith compilation..and by al-Albani.” –source Islamtoday.net
    “It was reported in the hadeeth of al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Karb that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

    “The martyr (shaheed) has seven blessings from Allaah:
    • he is forgiven from the moment his blood is first shed;
    • he will be shown his place in Paradise;
    • he will be spared the trial of the grave;
    • and he will be secure on the Day of the Greatest Terror (the Day of Judgement);
    • there will be placed on his head a crown of dignity, one ruby of which is better than this world and all that is in it;
    • he will be married to seventy-two of al-hoor al-‘iyn;
    • and he will be permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”
    —https://islamqa.info/en/8511, –Islam Q&A

    About the Paradise-guaranteed intercession by a shaheed for 70 of his/her relatives, I doubt I could even name 70 of my relatives who are not yet dead. Is there any restriction on the degree of relationship for this benefit? Can a third cousin be included? And since, according to Islamic doctrine, all humans are descended from the same ur-parents Aadam and Hawa, can anybody at all be included? (Then why say “relatives”? To exclude extraterrestrials?)

    ….the “Messenger of Allah,” “He has said: (nothing is dearer to Allah than tears which are shed out of fear of him and blood which is shed for his sake).”

    (Rendition of hadith cited by Ibn al-Qayyim, in, Zad Al-Ma’ad, Provisions for The Afterlife Which Lie Within Prophetic Guidance, P. 289.)

    Mohammed said, ‘I was made victorious through terror.’ So who is Dian Yulia Novi –female Indonesian terrorist and others that should disagree with Mohammed?

    “It is unclear what caused the man to walk around with a knife threatening several people.”

    Really?
