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

Ramadan begins in Indonesia as Muslims with swords attack police, one dead, three injured

May 17, 2018 8:44 am By Robert Spencer

Ramadan is the month of jihad, the month when Muslims strive to please Allah more fervently. And so because murdering Infidels who are considered to be at war with Allah is a pious act, there is generally more bloodshed during Ramadan than during the rest of the year.

“1 dead, 3 injured in sword attack on Indonesian police headquarters,” by Euan McKirdy, CNN, May 16, 2018:

(CNN)Four attackers armed with samurai swords targeted a police station in western Indonesia on Wednesday morning, killing at least one officer, police said.

The individuals crashed a vehicle into the entrance of the Riau province police headquarters in Pekanbaru, on the island of Sumatra, and began attacking officers, national police spokesman Setyo Wasisto said. Police shot and killed the four suspected terrorists, he added.

The attackers were members of a terror group called the Indonesian Islamic State, which is affiliated with ISIS, Wasisto said.

The driver of the van then attempted to the flee the scene, hitting and killing one police officer, he added. Two police officers and one local journalist were also injured in the attack….

    It’s intentional. They want us to be scared. Oh and also not to shoot back.

    How ironic!
    Over at ‘ratherexposethem’ blog there was a post that CNN had a post about
    how non-muslims can avoid offending muslims during ramadan!

    It’s like… uh… nooooooooooo!
    muslims need to be told how not to offend non-muslims all the time!
    In ‘their’ lands and in ours, during Christian holiday seasons and during muslim holidays…
    because they are the ones terrorizing and more so during the times like ramadan!

    And guess what? This world does not cater to them, (even though that is the globalist agenda, we must defy it of course) and too bad if they get offended during ramadan!
    No one promised them that they would be sheltered from every offense! (except maybe… pope francis!)

    And here we see the ‘spirit’ of ramadan in effect…

      The only way Infidels can stop “offending” Muslims is to submit or die.

    Samurai swords? Isn’t that cultural appropriation? Oh wait, I forgot the Left told me that’s only when white people do it…
