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

Sweden: Truck jihadi wanted to “create fear in the population” and “run over unbelievers”

Jan 30, 2018 2:59 pm By Robert Spencer

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you strike fear in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“Sweden charges man with terrorism over hijacked truck attack,” DW, January 30, 2018 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

A man has been indicted for hijacking a truck in Stockholm and mowing down pedestrians in April 2017, killing five and injuring 15 others. The man confessed to carrying out a “terrorist crime” in April last year.

Swedish prosecutors charged an Uzbek man with attempted terrorism and causing danger to others on Tuesday.

Prosecutors called for a life sentence for the 39-year-old, who is the only suspect in the Stockholm attack , which left five people dead last April. The trial is set to start next month.

The charges against Akilov

– Akilov allegedly planned the attack for months and had wanted to “create fear in the population at large” and “run over unbelievers” in a bid to deter Sweden from it role in the fight against “Islamic State.”

– Online conversations revealed that he allegedly asked for practical advice on how to build a bomb, as well as for spiritual guidance ahead of a “martyr operation.”

– He also is alleged to have talked about Swedish support for NATO in the online discussions and said the country had sent bomb technicians to Iraq to train Kurdish forces fighting IS, the charges said.

When did the attack occur: On April 7, 2017 a hijacked a beer truck was driven into pedestrians at a busy shopping area in the Swedish capital, killing five people and injuring 15….

        Agree … TERROR IS THE END MUSLIMS WISH TO ACHIEVE!

        Pakistani General S.K. Malik wrote:

        “Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is NOT ONLY a means, it is THE END IN ITSELF. Once a condition of TERROR into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy; IT IS THE DECISION WE WISH TO IMPOSE upon him.” – (The Quranic Concept of War, S.K.Malik)

      I agree with u n all the others here …..Islam , thru its followers the Muslims have nothing to offer humanity but death and destruction but the question is why ……..it because Muslims, not all of them , are born with less intelligence and on average are more STUPID and then as they grow up their Islamic teachings further makes them STUPID……..and nothing will help them for the foreseeable future……………

    As long as terms like “unbeliever” or “kafir” are not wiped out of islam, there will always be jihad.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Jan 30, 2018 at 5:07 pm

      That will never happen. Hatred for non-Muslims is THE central theme of the Qur’an. Allah hates them, and Muslims should hate them too — and wage war on them, and kill or subjugate them.

      That’s the message that’s repeated over & over again in the “infallible, perfect-in-every-word” holy book of the Muslims who we allow to live among us, for NO good reason. Certainly for no reason that trumps the safeguarding of infidel lives, human rights, & free societies.

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 30, 2018 at 8:21 pm

        Yes–there is more about hatred for Infidels in the Qur’an than anything else.

      Deleting the Hadith collections and editing the koran would also be good.

      Also aren’t happening ever.

      The majority of muslims doesn’t want ANY change and the same goes for the “clergy” – which actually doesn’t exist in an organised form like e.a. the catholic church.

      So “reform” will basically mean you either believe or you DON’T believe in islamic rules. And that’s not an acceptable solution for the rest of mankind, because once another bunch of idiots want to “stick more to the text” you become the NEXT wave of islamic terrorists and take-over attempts by “out-breeding” the rest of society and introducing 7th century barbarism.

      And we haven’t even stopped the current ones yet.

    How long is a “Life Sentence” in Sweden? How soon will he be eligible for parole?

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 30, 2018 at 8:32 pm

      Good question, clap. Wikipedia says this:

      “Life imprisonment in Sweden (livstids fängelse in Swedish) is a sentence of indeterminate length. Swedish law states that the most severe punishment is ‘prison for 10 (18 in the case of murder) years or life’.”

      Why even bother to call this a life sentence when so often is is anything but?

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 30, 2018 at 8:36 pm

        Apparently the average time served in a “life sentence” was 21 years back in 2007. I could not find more recent figures–it may be even worse now.

    Charged with: “..attempted terrorism and causing danger to others…”

    Attempted?? Danger?? Is this Swedish government crazy or just insane? He IS a terrorist and he KILLED people!

    With this kind of dhimmitude and delusion, a terrible future awaits Sweden.

    • gravenimage says

      True, Westman. This is nuts.

    I’ve said it before but it continues to be proven true: There is no such thing as gratitude in Islam.

    Muslims are not moved in the slightest by all the generosity provided them by Sweden (and most of Europe). Not having to work gives them allot of time to let their personal grievances fester as well as time to prepare mass murder. The specific motive always revolves around some perceived attack against Muslims somewhere in the World that NEVER has anything to do with the people the good Muslim has targeted for extermination. The benevolent and innocent victims are merely going about their daily business or just enjoying life and, as such, are chosen to create a general sense of fear in the hearts of the people who pay for the “entitled” Islamist to live in their country

    The Islamist has received and disregarded all the kindness and generosity that the Swedes have lavished on him because he has taken Muhammad at his word. To jump ahead in the line for Paradise all a Muslim has to do is steal a truck and run over people, hopefully killing them. If he is killed in the process then he jumps to the front of the line. This “fact” is repeated over and over again in the Quran and Hadith. But a shroud of ignorance about Islam now envelopes the country of Sweden. Anyone who peeks out from under the shroud and mutters a few words of reality is immediately categorized (Islamophobe, racist, etc.), trivialized, criminalized and ejected from society. This not only compounds the real suffering of the loved ones in mourning, but ensures that their suffering will be replayed over and over.

    Islam + Western liberal self righteousness = death, fear, suffering and silence. This nightmare is aided and abetted by all the people who care more about how others view them, than about the reality of being run over by a truck, broken into pieces by a bomb, or stabbed by a rabid follower of the “real” Islam. In this parallel world the only values worth defending are the ones that wish death or subjugation on you and your family. Freedom itself is viewed as unworthy of protection, much less respect.

    Sweden: Truck jihadi wanted to “create fear in the population” and “run over unbelievers”
    ………………………

    An Uzbek Muslim in Sweden perpetrates vehicular Jihad–while yesterdayt a Black Muslim in Philadelphia does the same.

    The backgrounds of these men could not be more different–but their using what readily comes to hand–their vehicles–to try to murderin Infidels in the name of Islam is just the same.

    Time to build a sanitary wall around Sweden , enforce it militarily and wait for twenty years. Then it might act as an example to other countries.

    That jihad truck attack in Stockholm, Sweden may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further r exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
    This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
    So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Sweden to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
