Austria: Muslim stabs soldier, security official says he “clearly had sympathy for political Islam”

Mar 16, 2018 1:56 pm By Robert Spencer

“Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry said that during his Austrian military service in 2012 the man was registered as a devout Muslim.”

But to have kept him under surveillance would have been “Islamophobic,” and so he was free to carry out this stabbing.

“Vienna Knife Attacker ‘Had Sympathy For Political Islam,’” RFERL, March 13, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A senior Austrian security official says the man who was shot dead over the weekend after stabbing a soldier outside the Iranian ambassador’s residence in Vienna “clearly had sympathy for political Islam.”

Michaela Kardeis, head of public security, told a news conference on March 13 that for now there were no more details about the 26-year-old assailant’s background or possible motives….

Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry said that during his Austrian military service in 2012 the man was registered as a devout Muslim.

The Vienna-born man of Egyptian origin, named by police as Mohamed E., attacked the soldier outside the Iranian envoy’s residence late on March 11, stabbing him several times with a knife….

The Kurier newspaper reported that the man, who lived with his parents in a working-class area of Vienna, followed a German Salafist preacher on Facebook.

He was also a fan of a Facebook group that agitated for the “release of Sunni prisoners” in mostly Shi’ite Iran, it reported….

    The workings of the Muslim brain.

    Sunni Muslim has a problem with Shi’ite Muslims. Solution – stab a Christian.

    Though born in Vienna, his allegiance was not to Austria or to Austria’s military or to Austria’s traditions or Austria’s faith.

    He DESPISED and HATED all those things ‘FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH’ and fought against them in his personal vendetta against the country that took his parents in.

    Any Muslim can simply increase his faith and become a jihadist.

    The Defense Ministry said that during his military service the man was registered as a devout Muslim. Do some Muslims register as being non-devout?

    ‘Political’ Islam. ‘Radical’ Islam. ‘Moderate’ Islam.

    Islam is Islam is Islam.

      At least saying he had sympathy for political islam is much closer to the truth than the leftist dogma of “nothing to do with Islam”

    Good work from Janice Atkinson MEP to get this young lady onto a platform in the EU.so we can hear what actually happened to her.

    Complete contrast to some of today’s news in which we learn that a young ISIS warrior was not only welcomed into the UK but farmed out to unsuspecting foster parents and given everything he could possible need. He of course repaid our generosity by trying to blow up a train with young people coming ;home from school (needless to say he got off before the explosion took place).

    Quite frightening to see what is happening in UK under the stupid and unenlightened rule of Sharia May.

    …security official says he “clearly had sympathy for political Islam”…

    Political Islam and religious Islam are one and the same – they are inseparable, you dork of an official.

    You should resign because your ignorance/stupidity is a threat to the Austrian people and the Austrian nation.
