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

Israeli Border Police stop two knife-carrying “Palestinians” in two days

Feb 11, 2018 12:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Israel faces daily jihad attacks and/or attempted jihad attacks. No one can claim to have a comprehensive understanding of the jihad terror threat, and no one can claim to oppose it, without supporting Israel. The ideology and belief system of those who constantly preach and celebrate the murder of Israelis is exactly the same as that of Islamic jihadis the world over. Their frenzied opposition to Israel is based upon the Qur’anic command to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191), even though the claim that Israel drove out the “Palestinians” is a propaganda fiction, just as the “Palestinian” nationality is as well.

“Palestinian stopped outside Hebron holy site with knife,” by Jacob Magid, Times of Israel, February 10, 2018:

For the second day in a row, Border Police arrested a Palestinian suspect in the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, after finding a knife hidden under his clothes at the entrance to the Tomb of the Patriarchs holy site.

After the 15-year-old boy set off the metal detector at a checkpoint outside the holy site, officers cocked their weapons at him and asked him to slowly raise his shirt.

Upon recognizing the knife underneath, security forces detained the teen and took him in for additional questioning.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Border Police forces made a similar arrest of a 23-year-old Palestinian man who raised the suspicions of officers at the holy site’s entrance. They uncovered a knife under his clothes upon carrying out a full-body inspection.

Also Friday, security forces arrested an armed Palestinian teenager at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Hashmonaim….

    Important distinction to keep “Palestinians” contained in quotation marks.

      The only true way to be sure the fanatics aren’t carrying weapons is ….if they want to visit these sites it would be in complete nakedness….. Keep on protecting the Israeli people and in the process get a few of the Muslim fanatics off the street and take out a few in Syria as well.

      How come the “religion of peace” is always at war???

      How come the minority cause the majority of crime???

      There’s nothing that unifies us more than continually focusing on our differences!

        It’s a religion of pieces…put together piece by piece to justify taking apart the rest of the world and putting it all back together like a puzzle in alignment with Islamic lameness.

        Well, WE don’t want to join that!

          Their religion is a religion of FORCE and FEAR
          When muhammad (if he ever really existed, no one has ever proved he did) started Islam he found that people didn’t flock to the new religion then he FORCED people to join…then to keep them there he used FEAR. So we actually have a (so called religion) of FORCE and FEAR not peace.
          So when a Muslim says he is not forced into Islam he is wrong. 1400 hundred years ago he was FORCED….and FEAR has held him there ever since.

    They were going to use the knives to cut some sausage that they were bringing to a party. Yeah, that’s it.

      Please, be serious.

      They were merely being good boy scouts by being prepared for any situation which might require of them to peel some fruit.

      The muslims are more refined than us barbarians who tear the skins from oranges with our fingers.

    “EXTREMELY poor societies…provide optimal breeding grounds for disease, terrorism and conflict.”

    So said Barack Obama, arguing in favour of more development aid to poor countries. Mr Obama is not alone in regarding economic development as a weapon against terrorism. Hillary Clinton, America’s secretary of state, has called development “an integral part of America’s national security policy”.

    The idea that poverty could be associated with terrorism is not implausible. If acts of terror are committed by people with little to lose, then it is reasonable to expect them to be carried out disproportionately by poor, ill-educated people with dismal economic prospects.

    Some terrorists certainly fit this profile. Yet the ranks of high-profile terrorism suspects also boast plenty of middle-class, well-educated people.

    The would-be Times Square bomber, Faisal Shehzad, boasts an MBA and is the son of a senior Pakistani air-force officer. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who stands accused of lighting a makeshift bomb on a transatlantic flight in the so-called “underwear plot”, had a degree from University College, London, and is the son of a rich Nigerian banker. The suspected suicide-bomber in this week’s attacks in Stockholm had a degree from a British university. Are well-heeled terrorists representative or are they exceptions to the rule?

    Social scientists have collected a large amount of data on the socioeconomic background of terrorists.

    According to a 2008 survey of such studies by Alan Krueger of Princeton University, they have found little evidence that the typical terrorist is unusually poor or badly schooled. Claude Berrebi of the RAND Corporation compared the characteristics of suicide-bombers recruited by Hamas and Islamic Jihad from the West Bank and Gaza with those of the general adult male Palestinian population. Nearly 60% of suicide-bombers had more than a high-school education, compared with less than 15% of the general population. They were less than half as likely to come from an impoverished family as an average adult man from the general population. Mr Krueger carried out a similar exercise in Lebanon by collecting biographical information for Hizbullah militants. They too proved to be better educated and less likely to be from poor families than the general population of the Shia-dominated southern areas of Lebanon from which most came.

    There is also no evidence that sympathy for terrorism is greater among deprived people.

    In a series of surveys carried out as part of the Pew Global Attitudes Project in 2004, adults in Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan and Turkey were asked whether they believed that suicide-bombing aimed at American or other Western targets in Iraq was justified. Their answers could be broken down by the respondents’ level of education. Although the proportions varied greatly between countries (with support lowest in Turkey), more schooling usually correlated with more agreement.

    Some argue that poverty could be at the root of terror even if terrorists are not themselves poor.

    Anger about poverty in the countries they are from could cause richer citizens of poor countries to join terrorist organisations. This idea can be tested by looking across countries to see if there is a link between a country’s GDP per head and its propensity to produce terrorists. Mr Krueger did precisely this by looking at data on 956 terrorist events between 1997 and 2003. He found that the poorest countries, those with low literacy, or those whose economies were relatively stagnant did not produce more terrorists. When the analysis was restricted to suicide-attacks, there was a statistically significant pattern—but in the opposite direction.

    Citizens of the poorest countries were the least likely to commit a suicide-attack.

    The nationalities of all foreign insurgents captured in Iraq between April and October 2005 also produced no evidence that poorer countries produced more insurgents. If anything, there was weak evidence the other way.

    What might explain why so many relatively well-off people from relatively well-off countries end up as terrorists?

    It may be that a certain level of education makes it more likely that people will become politicised. But the kind of people that terrorist organisations demand also matters. Unlike ordinary street crime, which does tend to attract the down-and-out, terrorism is a complex activity. So terrorist organisations prefer to recruit skilled, educated people to carry out their missions. Using a database of Palestinian suicide-bombers between the years 2000 and 2005, Mr Berrebi and Harvard University’s Efraim Benmelech find that more educated suicide-bombers are assigned to attack more important targets. Such terrorists also kill more people and are less likely to fail or be caught during their attacks.

    The sword is mightier with the pen —

    The finding that more educated terrorists are deadlier may mean, however, that economic conditions can influence terrorism’s effectiveness.

    Using data on all Palestinian suicide-attackers between 2000 and 2006, Esteban Klor of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Messrs Benmelech and Berrebi show in a new paper that the skill level of the average terrorist rises when economic conditions are poor. They reckon that high unemployment enables terror organisations in Palestine to recruit more educated, mature terrorists. So better economic conditions could blunt the effectiveness of terror attacks by reducing the average quality of the talent that terrorist organisations are able to recruit.

    There are many reasons to promote economic development in poor countries but the elimination of terror is not a good one. The research on terrorists’ national origins suggested that countries which give their citizens fewer civil and political rights tend to produce more terrorists. Politics, not economics, is likely to be a more fruitful weapon in the fight against terror.

    =================

    THERE YOU HAVE IT:

    Terrorism is Political.

    ISLAM is Ideologically Political in scope.

    Politics is perfectly suited to military solution:
    so try the captured terrorists in military tribunals.
    Eradicate the rest of these beasts where they hide in their lairs.
