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

Spain: Muslim migrant drives car onto busy sidewalk, injuring four, cops rule out terrorism

Jan 2, 2018 11:37 am By Robert Spencer

It couldn’t be terrorism because, you see, he was drunk. Very well, but is that really a necessarily valid conclusion? What if he was drunk to give himself the courage to wage jihad for the sake of Allah? Yes, alcohol is forbidden in Islam, but Islam also works on the basis of a simple good deeds/bad deeds comparison: if your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, you go to Paradise. If your bad deeds outweigh your good deeds, you go to hell. So this fellow may have thought that whatever weight he was adding to his bad deed scale by drinking would be outweighed by his killing a few Infidels.

In any case, maybe this is just a case of drunk driving. Or maybe it has something to do with these facts. Since authorities are seldom fully honest or forthcoming about these cases, we can never know for sure. Last June, the Islamic State published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”

And 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….

“SPAIN HORROR: Four injured as car mounts pavement in busy street,” by Gerard Couzens, Express, January 2, 2018:

FOUR people have been injured after being forced to dive for cover when a Moroccan man mounted the pavement in his car and came close to running them over.

Several other people had to run for their lives during the terrifying incident in Alaquas near Valencia, which sparked initial fears it was a terror attack.

Police ruled out any links to terrorism today as they revealed the driver was drunk at the time.

The unnamed 40-year-old has been remanded in custody by a judge following a private court hearing in Torrent near Alaquas.

Local reports said he had consumed so much alcohol he couldn’t stand up and wasn’t able to be breathalysed at the scene.

The casualties, who were aged between 48 and 60 and suffered only light injuries, are now said to be doing okay.

The incident happened on Saturday near a packed park called Parc de la Sequieta running along a street called Carrer Lanjaron….

          Those very things should be enough to turn the world against the “Religion if Force”…but I’m afraid we no longer have a unified Christian world…maybe not even just a Christian world, let alone a unified one.

      He was unquestionably suffering from a mental illness. Plus the car was at fault, solely, in truth.

  4. mortimer says

    Jan 2, 2018 at 11:58 am

    Most police detectives have not read any of the following (Koran, Bukhari, Sira, canonical commentaries, authoritative fatwas about jihad), and yet, preposterously, police in almost every country make pronouncements AS IF they are EXPERTS ON JIHAD and its MINDSET.

    Most police are not even BEGINNERS on the topic of jihad because their departments refuse to teach the DOCTRINE OF JIHADISM which is so ably explained in Robert Spencer’s many books.

    • reyol says

      Jan 3, 2018 at 2:05 am

      Good point, Mortimer. A lot of Law Enforcement is an exercise in lawsuit avoidance. Police are taught that Islam is a religion and we don’t mess with religious rights – so stay the heck away from ‘Islam as a motive’. That is why they are quick subscribe to mental illness or common criminality. They simply aren’t prepared to “go there”.

      He hopes we didn’t notice the bit about this Muslim plowing into a crowd of people on the sidewalk.

      • lebel says

        Jan 3, 2018 at 4:13 am

        Drunk drivers do that sometimes, being an ethnic arab does not change that much.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Jan 3, 2018 at 11:50 am

          Who said anything about ethnicity?

          Being a muslim definitely increases your odds though.

  10. LeftisruiningCanada says

    Jan 2, 2018 at 2:02 pm

    There are MANY ‘little’ incidents like that happening.

    They don’t make it past the local level media most of the time.

    In the past few weeks i’ve seen half a dozen things like this on smaller local newspaper websites in the north of England. There’s usually one or two victims, often women. Driver is a muslim man. Excuses range from reaching down to grab a dropped bottle of water in the foot well, to simply not following the road….

    There are not usually any follow up articles, and the incident simply passes most people by.

    Can we say for sure it was a deliberate act for the sake of allah? No.
    But given that vehicle attacks are quickly becoming high fashion of the jihadi world, we sure as *ell can’t rule it out either. Being drunk, or drugged in some other way, would be an excellent way to fool western infidels, avoid harming the reputation of islam, and get away with less harsh convictions.

    Not everyone wants to go down in a blaze of glory, like those who shout allahu akbar as they do their deeds. Some want to kill their kaffir-quota, get their ticket to brothel-heaven, and still carry on their usual life – which, in the UK, may well mean sharing young, inebriated, teenage girls with their brothers in the filthy back room of a welfare supported council flat.

        I’m NOT saying that all pedestrian/vehicle interfaces are by muslims engaging in jihad.

        There are plenty of bad drivers regardless of where they come from or what they believe.

        But it is noticeable how often these things happen.

        • Ashley says

          Jan 2, 2018 at 3:40 pm

          Oh, I agree!

          My objections are:

          1…Dude was driving a big ass vehicle

          2. Dude did not appear to be under the influence

          3. Dude ran a red light before striking two pedestrians

          4. Dude tried to flee before being apprehended

          5. And although dude couldn’t speak English terrorism was ruled out

          I propose these vehicle “accidents” should be ruled as terror attacks until proven otherwise…

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Jan 2, 2018 at 4:25 pm

          We can’t rule out the possibility of a Cantonese muslim jihadi, but the odds aren’t that high 🙂

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Jan 3, 2018 at 1:50 pm

      These ‘accidents’ have been happening in UK for years. Oddly enough, the victims are usually ‘kufar’. And Muslims are disproportionally represented amongst drivers.
      Hellloooooooo…

    Just seen this terrible footage from Paris:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5228969/France-declares-violence-crackdown-ghettoised-suburbs.html

    The article goes on about how the area is known for the ‘Portuguese’ immigrants.

    We all know how dangerous those Portuguese have proved to be recently don’t we….

    • 6woods says

      Jan 2, 2018 at 10:33 pm

      Yes , we must stop immigration from Portugal. But only if they’re non-muslims. Peaceful muslims (is there any other kind?) must be given a pass.

    Jan 2, 2018 at 6:34 pm

    When governments habitually tell lies and half-truths to their citizens (subjects?) it doesn’t take long before you tend not to believe anything that they say. Those in power have bet the farm on diversity and multiculturalism, and as far as the hajjis go, that’s a losing bet. Now the great and good will dissemble every chance they get to protect themselves from us. do you still believe your politicians, your academics, your journalists, your “faith leaders”? I approach everything they tell me with extreme skepticism.

    Be alert, remain armed.

    MEANWHILE IN AUSTRALIA;

    Just what sort of a joke has the Victorian legal system become?

    Today a 15 year old youth attempts to murder or injure numerous people in Melbourne with a replica attempt similar to the recent Flinders Street atrocity.

    LUCKILY, DESPITE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, in forward and reverse gear, he was not skillful enough to handle the 4 wheel drive well enough to hit anyone.

    THUS IT SEEMS BECAUSE NO ONE WAS MURDERED OR INJURED, the magistrate lets him out on bail as he is no longer deemed a risk to the community?

    It seems he also had a bag on board with many knives in it.

    No mention of any his obviously known BACKGROUND is given in the news report. Why not?

    Let’s hope some sane authorities look into this case immediately for some sort of appeal.

    If not, we in general must be considered crazy as well to tolerate this sort of justice from our legal system.

    WHEN THE SHIT FINALY HITS THE FAN, THE VICTORIA GOVERNMENT WILL BE IN CHAOS!
