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

Netherlands: Man threatens people with knife at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, cops say not a terror incident

Dec 15, 2017 12:34 pm By Robert Spencer

“No details of his condition were released and a motive is unclear. Police confirmed it was not being treated as a terror incident.”

The problem with this is that it has so often happened that police deny that some incident is terrorism, and then it turns out to be jihad terror after all. There is also the fact that 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….

Does that mean that this was a jihad terror attack? Not at all. But unfortunately, given the police’s poor record of honesty in such cases, their denial cannot be taken at face value.

“Police shoot man with knife at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport,” Sky News, December 15, 2017:

Dutch police have shot a man wielding a knife at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.

A tweet from Dutch military police read: “Man at Schiphol shot at by the military police, after he made threats with a knife. Situation safe.”

The forces later added officers had overpowered and arrested the suspect, and he is now in custody.

“The man threatened with a knife and the military police shot him,” spokesman Stan Verberkt said.

“He was injured and has been taken into custody.”

No details of his condition were released and a motive is unclear. Police confirmed it was not being treated as a terror incident….

    Police nor government know if attacks are terror related or just horrible attacks, and muslims won’t tell us,
    they try to confuse everybody, but nothing is normal any more, and every day muslims will tell us, that we need them, today it’s again for us to pay our persons.
    May be it is to pay for their upkeep, housing food, money for food, for healthcare, for the upkeep of 3 to 4 wives and lots of children.And we need them? Like a h… in the head. They cost us millions a year for extra police for safety machines everywhere, and we need them? Or is it that they are so nice to us? Read their book and you will see. Think for yourself to whom you have delivered yourselves and your children.
    There is nobody who can force you how and what to think or which religion to follow, your thoughts are FREE. Oh people !!!

    I think it seems to have become official policy in the West that the immediate response by law enforcement and authorities is always to put out a statement right off the bat saying incidents are “not being treated as a terrorist attack” or are “at this time not being investigated as terrorism” or are “not being treated as terrorist incident” or are “not terror-related”.

    It seems they, by default, prefer to get started with the scrub before they even start investigating or know anything at all.

    They have no qualms about feeding us a load of bullsh*t right out of the gate.
    I sure am getting sick of it- How about you?

    You can’t trust anything they tell you anymore.

    …………………..

    Will we ever learn whether this “man” was a Muslim?

      Like I said, they lay down the scrub right off the bat, and hope things blow over.

      Like the acid attacks on some American college students by a woman in Marseilles: we never found out anything about the female attacker who had -you guessed it- “mental illness”; the students quickly following hospitalization put out a statement saying that they had forgiven the attacker, and that was it. The story blew over, and the information as to her identity is still unavailable to this day.
      Any bets?
      Will we ever know anything?

    Anyone with an edged weapon who is within 21 feet of you constitutes a deadly threat, based on legal precedent. Therefore, you can shoot anyone with an edged weapon who moves in a threatening manner within what you reasonably estimate to be 21 feet of you or someone you love or even just kinda like.

    So, you have a pistol… right?

    Why would anyone believe a police statement “. . .not a terrorist incident. . .” when it is obvious that it is? The credibility of all departments repeating that mantra, by whatever name, has been destroyed and will never return. Only when 2 plus 2 becomes “whatever you want it to be” will such lies be accepted.

    Not every act of Muslim violence is ‘terrorism’…but 100% of it is done by Muslims..If you want to get away from that urge Trump to ban Islam and Muslims…

    The Jihadists will begin to wonder what exactly they have to do for their actions to be treated as a “terrorist incident’.
