“Infidels”? One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam. Good thing we have learned imams such as Pope Francis, John Kerry and H.R. McMaster to assure us otherwise.
“Stockholm truck attacker pleads guilty as terrorism trial opens,” Times of Israel, February 13, 2018:
An Uzbek asylum seeker who confessed to wanting to mow down “infidels” in an April 2017 Stockholm truck attack that killed five people and wounded 10 pleaded guilty to terrorism charges on Tuesday as his trial opened.
Rakhmat Akilov appeared in the Stockholm courtroom, where he was charged with terror-related murder and attempted murder, handcuffed amid tight security, wearing green prison clothes and with a shaved head and a beard, accompanied by his lawyer, Johan Eriksson.
Akilov, whose Swedish asylum application had been rejected in 2016, had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State terror group on the eve of his assault in one of Europe’s safest cities, though the jihadist group never claimed responsibility.
On the afternoon of Friday, April 7, Akilov stole a beer delivery truck and barreled down a bustling pedestrian shopping street, swerving wildly to hit as many people as possible. He was arrested hours later.
Five people were killed — a British man, a Belgian woman and three Swedes, including an 11-year-old girl….
He has said he wanted to punish Sweden for participating in the international coalition against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria….
Akilov had said he offered to the Islamic State group to carry out an attack in Stockholm on behalf of the group. It was not clear whether the group had accepted his offer.
Investigators have found internet chat logs with unknown people in which Akilov discussed becoming a martyr and swore allegiance to IS between January 12, 2017, and the attack on April 7, as well as a memory card with “material that can be connected to IS,” including execution videos.
The construction worker, who was 39 at the time of the attack, was subject to deportation from Sweden ahead of attack as his asylum application had been rejected.
Akilov had been ordered to leave Sweden in December 2016. Instead, he went underground, eluding authorities’ attempts to track him down. Sweden’s domestic intelligence agency has said it had nothing indicating he was planning an attack.
Security was high Tuesday, with heavily armed police officers and scores of reporters going through metal detectors before entering the courtroom.

This vehicular jihad attack in Sweden may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further 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.

More apt Aesop fable for Sweden’s situation, than the tale of the scorpion riding on the swimming dhimmi
(pick any animal able to swim)….since the latter example would be more applicable to Greece…

Walter, please allow me to suggest the following?:

The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The friendly (yet foolish) farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it in his vest jacket to warm up and thus save its life. The viper warmed up, and upon reviving then suddenly 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 its life.

Cru, Islam has a split personality.

Walter……MUSLIMS ONLY ENTER COUNTRIES to try and make that country confirm to islam. Not to “live” as you suggest. Their main goal is to make the whole world Islam……That’s what their bible and hadith and preachers teaches..period!
Bob Carrillo says
Where is that Jihadist playbook anyway? What chapter is this one in?
CRUSADER says
Regarding:
“…Pope Francis, John Kerry and H.R. McMaster…”
Keep lighting candles to illuminate their darkness.
Maybe someday someone near them will “get it” and then so will they, too.

Big Tech continues to help Islam take away our right to free speech. There needs to be a change to the First Amendment to prevent organizations other than government from stopping free speech……
Gjallarhornet says
Here the news from Sweden on this matter are all: “What was his motive?”, “why was he radicalized?” etc etc”
Try ” He did this because islam, which is now here. How do we stop it?” .
tomparry says
another point, this terrorist will enjoy acommedations in prison that more than half the world’s population would envy. Bring back hanging in the public square. (or go modern with a pay per view to help raise money for the victims).
mortimer says
Why do Western countries invite and permit those who DESPISE our way of life, EXECRATE OUR LAWS, and HATE US PERSONALLY ‘for the sake of Allah’ … why do we invite these 7th century SAVAGES into our stable peaceful countries? Are we masochists? Are we self-loathing? What do we get of positive value from these armies of unemployables who refuse EVER to assimilate?

The joys, Mortimer, of Political Correctness! Here in the UK it’s sharia May’s main teacher!

Then he needs to run down muslims like himself, those are the infidels.

Rakhmat is almost the same to how you say thank you in Uzbek.
Thank, but no thanks Rakhmat.
MFritz says
Since where he comes from that’s completely “normal” and “acceptable” behaviour? And everyone in doubt is a “racist” and “islamophobe”?
