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

Germany: Explosive device planted on children’s carousel at Christmas market

Dec 1, 2017 11:38 am By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State recently threatened jihad massacres at Christmas. But that no doubt couldn’t have anything to do with this, right? Only greasy Islamophobes would even consider any other possibility.

“Explosive device found at German Christmas market in Potsdam,” RT, December 1, 2017:

Police are “currently deployed to central Potsdam because a suspicious package [was found there],” the local police department said in a Twitter post.
Local officers had already cordoned off the area around the suspicious object and requested assistance of specialist officers, the statement added.

Police also closed several roads adjacent to the area, German media report. A bomb disposal unit is currently examining the suspicious package, the police said.

An employee working in a local pharmacy was the first to report the suspicious package to the police. The object was reportedly planted on a children’s carousel located at the Christmas market, local media report, citing unnamed witnesses….

    Has it been determined to be an explosive device?

      Never mind. It appears it WAS an explosive device…

      Die Welt:
      In der Potsdamer Innenstadt ist ein Sprengsatz gefunden worden. Die Polizei bestätigte, dass sich ein verdächtiger Gegenstand als „Unkonventionelle Spreng- oder Brandvorrichtung“ herausgestellt habe. Der Sprengsatz wurde entschärft.

      Nay, they will say that explosions from that “explosive device” were designed to amuse kids like petards which they use so frequently during Halloween. Nothing to worry about, they (will) say. To worry would be “islamophobic,” and that is (or soon will be) punishable by jail term in modern Germanistan.

        Christmas cracker. Just an islamic misunderstanding about the bang.

        • Mockingjay says

          Dec 1, 2017 at 7:53 pm

          Yeah – it was nothing that could’ve actually exploded, police say now.

          – Nothing that could have exploded – with nails packed into it.

          Makes sense.

    So, again, in all of my naiveté, I must ask: :

    How can there still possibly be a significant Pro-(muslim) Immigration contingent remaining in Deutschland after all they’ve been through, and after events like this keep occurring again and again?

    Just wait until the islamists begin to take government positions… Wow.

    Unbelievable.

    The place is gone.

      “….How can there still possibly be a significant Pro-(muslim) Immigration contingent remaining in Deutschland after all they’ve been through, and after events like this keep occurring again and again?….”

      Easy – the moment anyone admits wrong-doing they are held responsible for it, and may be fired: Bye-bye the comfy lifestyle of wafting about from Strasbourg to Brussels, from Parliament to International summit, and from conference to TV studio, endlessly talking rubbish to those paid to listen to it, and stuffing their pockets with other people’s money as fast as they can.
      After all, they reason – those like you and me who accuse them of failing to do their job will never be able to hold them accountable, since we will all be killed-off before ever the danger reaches them, and so they cling on to office day after day and year after year – wretched, skulking creatures who dare not admit their wickedness and folly even to themselves, and now conduct themselves like top Nazis in the final days in Berlin: Holed-up in the bunker beneath the Reichstag/EU Parliament they punish any who dares speak truth unto power, and willingly sacrifice everyone to preserve themselves – hoping against hope that someone else will lay down their lives to keep the Russians/ Mohammedans at bay.

      So meantime, they will lie themselves blue in the face and hang on until the tide is lapping round their ankles.

        Good points ! Also, the present situation comes from progressive ideology and the fact that German birth rates are not adequate to maintain the German society of the past . Therefore to provide a workforce for German industry they must bring in immigrants . Unfortunately , they have brought in immigrants with a supremacist ideology called Islam and have paved the way for the Hirya , civilization jihad to take place in Germany . They definitely have BROUGHT IN the TROJAN HORSE and we all know how that story ends.

          Dec 1, 2017 at 10:24 pm

          Muslims rarely work. The idea that Germany–or anyone–needs them as a workforce is a canard.

          Besides, Japan has a low birthrate, and they are not bringing in lots of migrants, let alone hordes of ravening Muslims.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Dec 1, 2017 at 11:49 pm

          Yes, i don’t buy the workers argument either.
          If that was the true goal of the leaders, there are much better ways to go about it.

        • NYgal says

          Dec 2, 2017 at 12:36 am

          No, actually Japan is doing quite well without bringing immigrants – they use more robots.

        Dec 2, 2017 at 10:18 am

        So now, even those Germans that heard about their NAZI parents and grandfathers- and some that thought it was A Ok, are living under ISLAMONAZI conditions in their own formerly non -Muslim country. Hmmm. And they complained about the Jews? Still cannot figure out what the perceived grievances were against them. Now the Germans and the Brits have serious trouble.

    the answer – get rid of Christmas markets.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Dec 1, 2017 at 11:47 pm

      Agreed, the filthy dhimmi culture should be quashed!

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 2, 2017 at 11:49 pm

      Grimly, there are dhimmis who will argue this.

  4. Ashley says

    Dec 1, 2017 at 3:06 pm

    This story gets more and more creepy as details continue to emerge.

    The package was apparently delivered to a pharmacy near the Christmas market via a messenger service. The package contained nails, powder, and wires. It was defused by the bomb squad although it is uncertain if the “explosive device” was actually capable of being detonated.

    Why target a nearby pharmacy if the intended target was the crowded market? If this was indeed a viable IED was it powerful enough to impact the market if it detonated at the pharmacy?

    Scare tactic? Dry run? Prank?

  5. LeftisruiningCanada says

    Dec 1, 2017 at 3:57 pm

    Like the one in London yesterday, failed…..are we seeing the Jihadi B teams opening the season?

  6. Kiki says

    Dec 1, 2017 at 4:05 pm

    Thank goodness the police found the explosive device before anyone got hurt!

    Still, everyone should be cautious during the holidays. And since ISIS recently threatened children, keep a close watch on them.

    “…on children’s carousel”

    interesting how many “news” headlines removed those words- only 2 out of 20 sites on BING printed them..lying by OMISSION is still LYING …manipulated, selectively edited “news”…..
    now WHO, what kind of person, would want to blow up children celebrating Christmas?

    Bravo for those who found it before the planned carnage…

  8. sam m says

    If they find who built it and sent it will they publish his or her name if they are Moslem or will it be reported in the German press a mentally unstable loner name with held.

  9. Dhimmiwit says

    Dec 1, 2017 at 6:15 pm

    Will this Islamophobia never end!

    It is probably a cancer curing device sent by renowned young scientist and alarm clock inventor Ahmed Mohamed made in his home in Qatar, the nails intended to be donated to the poor Muslim community to knock together another mosque.

    Shame on you Islamophobes!

  10. Charles says

    Dec 1, 2017 at 10:08 pm

    Only the “Children of Satan”, could target little, harmless, innocent children at play!
    I long for the day when this HORROR (ISLAM) is erased from our Earth!
    I’m sure their (NEVER A) prophet has been roasting in the fires of HELL for a very long time!

    • Xandartek says

      Dec 3, 2017 at 7:24 pm

      Leave Mohammed alone! He heard voices in his head and we know what that means. He was also illiterate, hopeless at expressing himself with words but he was very good with his tongue sexually abusing women and girls of all ages. That was a hell of a life considering he did whatever he did in hollows in the sand. That was hell enough.

    Germany: Explosive device planted on children’s carousel at Christmas market
    ………………………….

    Civilized people look at kids on a carousel at a Christmas market and think “awww! cute!”. Muslims look at the same thing and think, “target”.

    God, I hate Islam.

    • Xandartek says

      Dec 3, 2017 at 7:26 pm

      Please do not hate as hatred damages your feelings. Whatever you ‘hate’, just see it as pathetic. Which it is.

      • LeftisruiningCanada says

        Dec 3, 2017 at 7:37 pm

        How is hating evil pathetic?

        One wouldn’t want to wallow in that hatred of course, but really!

      • Jack Diamond says

        Dec 3, 2017 at 7:59 pm

        Well that’s very detached. Murder and the suffering of the innocent is hateful, not pathetic,
        and deserving of outrage.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 3, 2017 at 8:23 pm

        Xandartek, it is not good for one to be consumed with hate, this is true. And I’m not.

        But just considering evil to be “pathetic” is, in my opinion, far too mild a reaction to such savagery as a plot to *murder children*.

        I consider much dhimmitude–coddling of Islam and minimizing its horrors–to be pathetic. But Islam itself? Now, that is *evil*.

        And good posts, Jack and LeftisruiningCanada.

    Not even an attempt to slaughter their children will move the Germans to oppose Islam and halt refugee immigration.

  13. Cheer Bear Girl says

    Dec 2, 2017 at 2:58 pm

    Imagine if that device was explosive and innocent children were riding the carousel. Merkel you vile woman. How could you let this potential threat go unchallenged.
    If innocent children were killed while riding a carousel I wonder how many lefttards would look the other way.

    • Carolyne says

      Dec 2, 2017 at 4:49 pm

      Because Madam Merkel is more interested in governing a country of slaves than a country of free people. A few years ago when a Muslim hotshot was visiting Germany, she had the nude statues and pictures covered so as not to offend him. These were great works of art. She has allowed the culture of Germany to be covered with a burqa. She should be covered with one herself.

      • Xandartek says

        Dec 3, 2017 at 7:30 pm

        I think the Pope did the same when some Muslim sweetie visited the Vatican. He is now asking the Rohingya Muslims who fled Myanmar for Bangladesh to forgive their oppressors. I guess it’s easier than bringing that evil-looking woman(Nobel Peace Prize)to book.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 3, 2017 at 8:29 pm

          Are you saying Aung San Suu Kyi is evil looking? Why?

  14. Carolyne says

    Dec 2, 2017 at 4:45 pm

    Of course we all know Teresa May was correct in saying that the right is more dangerous than the peaceful Muslims,. The right is famous for planting explosives on a child’s amusement.

    Spare Me, Ms. May. Spare me.
