How embarrassing: the jihad murderer himself has contradicted the German authorities’ politically correct narrative, and told the truth: he was trying to kill as many Christians as possible “as a contribution to the global jihad.” Will the German police and government begin a searching reconsideration of their migrant policies and stance on Islam? Of course not.
“Hamburg Supermarket Killer Pleads Guilty, Admits He Is an Islamic Terrorist,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 13, 2018:
Ahmad A. admitted to murdering a 50-year-old man and injuring six others at a supermarket in Hamburg last year, and has told the court he believed he was carrying out jihad by trying to kill as many Christians as he could.
The failed Palestinian asylum seeker plead guilty to all charges at his trial, which began this week. The lawyer for the migrant said his client acted on behalf of a radical Islamic extremist ideology, saying “He made this decision as a contribution to the global jihad,” Hamburger Morgenpost reports.
The court also heard that investigators had found a homemade Islamic State flag in the asylum accommodation where Ahmad A. lived — a fact which had not been previously made public.
The attack, which occurred in July of last year, shocked Germany, and many debated whether or not the attacker had acted in the name of Islam.
German police were initially hesitant to accept the confession of terrorism by Ahmad A., saying that he suffered from mental illness — despite them admitting he had been a part of the radical Islamic extremist scene previously.
Yassar al-Adaoui Mustafa, a friend of Ahmad A, said that he had rapidly changed around a month before the attack.
“He suddenly prayed loudly in the hallway and was very aggressive. He was shouting at people in English: ‘The West is killing Muslims all over the world’,” he said.
According to the Palestinian, he came to Germany to seek a better life and study dentistry, but could not handle the Western way of life and grew to resent it….

“Will the German police and government begin a searching reconsideration of their migrant policies and stance on Islam?”
AT this point what police are doing is out-and-out deliberate.

“We did this because our holy texts exhort us to to do it.”
“No you didn’t.”
“Wait, what? Yes we did…”
“No, this has nothing to do with religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons.”
“WHAT!? Did you even read our official statement? We give explicit Quranic justification. This is jihad, a holy crusade against pagans, blasphemers, and disbelievers.”
“No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.”
“Huh!? Who are you to tell us we’re not true Muslims!? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for being.”
“Nope. We created you. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that’s why you did this. We’re sorry.”
“What? Why are you apologizing? We just slaughtered you mercilessly in the streets. We targeted unwitting civilians – disenfranchisement doesn’t even enter into it!”
“Listen, it’s our fault. We don’t blame you for feeling unwelcome and
lashing out.”
“Seriously, stop taking credit for this! We worked really hard to pull this off, and we’re not going to let you take it away from us.”
“No, we nourished your extremism. We accept full blame.”
“OMG, how many people do we have to kill around here to finally get our message across?”

Btw, can you imagine going to this man for dental work?

PLEASE NOT: that INITIALLY the police said he might be mentally ill. THEN, the prosecutor AND the defense lawyer changed the line of prosecution. The change in the line taken by the prosecution and defence is REMARKABLE. They accepted that Alhaw was a jihadist inspired by an international jihad organization ISIS. The implication is that JIHADISM IS NOT A MENTAL ILLNESS.

Germany : a Palestinian charged with an “Islamist” knife attack

12/01/2018
Palestinian asylum seeker, admitted the fatal knifing in July 2017 of a customer at a Hamburg supermarket in northern Germany, a crime that had revived fears of Islamist attacks in the country.
“This act had from his point of view a religious context that was for him of fundamental importance at the time”, explained his lawyer Christoph Burchard on the first day of 26-year-old Ahmad Alhaw’s appearance before the Higher Court of Hamburg.
This written confession, normal in Germany where the accused do not open their mouths at all during their whole trial, confirms the thesis of the accusation claiming an “islamist” attack, seeing the idea of his mental illness has been abandoned during the investigation.
The young man, tall, thin and wearing a full beard, born in Saudi Arabia, who grew up in the Gaza Strip, face a life sentence in prison for ‘aggravated murder’, which means a minimum of 15 years of detention before being allowed to ask for a conditional release.
The investigation turned up no link with the ISIS organization and concluded with the line of a ‘lone wolf’ , who wished to “kill randomly German citizens of the Christian religion” due to his adherence to “radical Islam”, insisted Yasimin Tüz, the representative of the court.
After a chaotic background, marked by interrupted dental studies in Egypt, then unfruitful attempts to obtain asylum in Europe, he wished to “take vengeance” against the…in his view… ‘unjust’ treatment of Muslims in Western countries, said Ms. Tüz.
His trial is expected to last at least two months until March.
Failings
At the end of July (2017), Mr. Alhaw had entered a Hamburg supermarket in plain daylight, grabbing hold of a 20-cm-long kitchen knife, and then mortally stabbed a 50-year-old customer. He thereafter took flight and wounded six others in the street with his knife while shouting, “Allah Akbar”, before being brought under control after a running chase by onlookers.
His case once again place the new Germany coalition and its intelligence services in an uncomfortable position. Having arrived in Germany in March 2015, from Norway, Sweden and Spain, this Palestinian had been rejected in his request for asylum at the end of 2016, but could not be escorted to the border due to the lack of the necessary papers. Even before his action, he had been considered a ‘suspicious case’ due to ‘details that showed a religious radicalization’.
His knife attack occurred seven months after the truck ramming attack on Christmas market in Berlin, which caused 12 deaths and revealed the significant failings of the intelligence agencies. This attack was commited by a Tunisian asylum seeker, Anis Amri, who was in a similar legal situation and considered for a long time as potentially dangerous by the police.
Many attacks or attempted attacks were committed by asylum seekers, lending support to criticisms against the Chancellor Angela Merkel, accused by her detractors of having not having weighed the risk to her country of opening the door to hundreds of thousands of refugees in 2015 and 2016. The extreme German rightist Alternative for Germany in particular benefited from these worries by making its entry to the national legislature in September. The question of migration continues to dominate politics. It is at the centre of debates between conservative and social-democrats in forming a new government (coalition).
Michael Copeland says
Yasimin Tüz is the representative of the court. Her name sounds Turkish: she is probably muslim.
She “insisted” that his actions are due to his adherence to “radical Islam” – her description.
Can someone in Germany ask Yasimin Tüz to explain the difference between “radical Islam” and Islam?
P.S. There is not a difference.
Malon says
Both are right – the murderer and German authorities: Islam is a mental illness. And nearly impossible to cure.
Karen says
The concept of violent jihad is real. It is not rare. It is not defensive. It is not an exception, but a deliberate long term strategy.
Ahmad A., the Hamburg Jihad Killer is just one in a long line of jihad scum.
Michael Copeland says
The lawyer for the migrant said his client acted on behalf of a radical Islamic extremist ideology,
It is ordinary basic Islam.

Yup, they’re definitely good with long-winded euphemisms:

They wish it was possible to omit the word ‘islamic’.
That would make them feel better.
Westman says
“..he came to Germany to seek a better life and study dentistry, but could not handle the Western way of life..”
Indoctrinated supremacy meets reality: He came to Germany to seek a better life and study dentistry, but could not handle the Western way of competition and meritocracy – he, as the “best of people”, was failing against the “worst of people” which either makes Allah a liar or him a victim in his indoctrinated mind. His solution was to take revenge for Allah(and himself).
These jihad reactions to Muslim failure in Europe will be repeated thousands of times. The outbreak of “mental illness” will be an epidemic.
Karen says
“According to the Palestinian, he came to Germany to seek a better life and study dentistry, but could not handle the Western way of life and grew to resent it”
Must be our fault.
Uhm, isn’t it possible to just go home instead of going Jihad all over the place?
I see he isn’t a Syrian or African economic migrant yet he was part of the migrant influx crisis. Ok, so Germany decided to allow him in. A decision that perhaps was fateful, since we know that the media and social institutions of the PA inculcate children with hate and revenge from birth. Is it possible that place of origin does in fact matter when making entry decisions? This must be part of the vetting process.
CRUSADER says
One has to be predisposed to mental illness to follow a thorough path in Islam.
However, once the Triangle of Jihad * is established in the brain, Islam just takes over
as an ideology and one isn’t quite oneself, but absorbed into part of the Greater Borg….
All one cares about is the Ummah at that point….
So, just like any confounded Nazi perpetrator, it is less possible to de-Nazify, and
more possible just to condemn this soul to earthly punishment and quick execution.
Let him be forgotten. Jihadi terrorists are enemy combatants vs society and must be
extinguished like pestilence.

“One has to be predisposed to mental illness to follow a thorough path in Islam.”
Know where you’re coming from Crusader, so you’ll likely have no issues with looking at this whole ‘mental illness’ thing that’s going on.
In short, i don’t buy it. Calling everything that doesn’t make sense an ‘mental illness’ is just a cheap way out of having to face uncomfortable facts. It’s also a handy way for defense lawyers to wheedle out a shorter more comfortable sentence for jihadis.
I don’t think you have to be predisposed to mental illness to become muslim at all. The way their dawa guys ‘explain’ islam to interested converts makes it seem very nice and acceptable to most people’s ideas of right and wrong and brotherly love etc etc. Once you’re on the hook, the transition to knife attacking jihadi is only a matter of degrees and time.
Not being a materialist, there is also the influence of evil to consider. Islam leads converts to offer themselves to demons. Gradually they give themselves more and more to the service of evil, objections and reservations to the next level of islamic depravity removed by clever lying teachers of islam.
It doesn’t take an illness to lead anyone to acts of violence, just a strong belief that all other options are ineffective. Just take a look in the thread about Putin to see how easily Anti Western zealotry can take hold. Couple that with a spiritual worldview of universal conflict between good and evil, and moving someone to become violent is not hard at all.
No, illness is not the main factor here. There will always be some unstable people involved in whatever movement you care to mention, but it is not the norm. Instead, we are looking at convinced believers in a worldview that seems bizarre to us, but perfectly rational and supported by fact, to them.

Our crazy leftists have even redefined what “life sentence” means.
“After a chaotic background, marked by interrupted dental studies in Egypt, then unfruitful attempts to obtain asylum in Europe, he wished to “take vengeance” against the…in his view… ‘unjust’ treatment of Muslims in Western countries,”
Again, they are looking for secular and socialist excuses to justify a soldier of allah. These people have hamstrung themselves and are endangering everyone else because of it.

Has anyone got a reasonably exhaustive catalogue of all the unjust treatment of muslims around the world?

They make it their mission in life to document every conceived slight against a poor innocent muslim.

The thing is, islam is evil, it is an ideology. To know what is in the koran and willingly accept it is evil also. People are accountable for such sin, they are responsible. There is a willingness inside of them to do this. You can’t write it all off as ‘insanity.’ Yet at the same time you could say that no one in their right mind would embrace such an ideology. What I see looking at many cases is that when people first willingly accept some form of evil, their mind starts to move in the direction of insanity.
Look at the famous cases of cults that started with normal people and ended in mass suicides and things like that. There is an element of brainwashing, programming, hypnosis, and mind control that goes along with these things. Eventually they can get someone to say that 2 plus 2 does not equal 4, but rather 5 or something else. The sense of reasoning is gone, rationality is lost.
In 2 Thessalonians 2 it speaks of something like this process, people rejecting the truth and the love of it and being given over or coming under the influence of a strong delusion. It specifically is referring to the end times church apostasy but it applies to things in general as a principle also. I have seen how people behave in cults and it is pretty creepy.
So they may start out normal, embrace something sinful or evil (and they are held guilty for all their deeds), and end up having lost their minds. A lot like taking drugs.
