Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said: “The driver lost control of the vehicle.”
Watch the video. This driver didn’t lose control. He clearly plowed deliberately into the pedestrians.
The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
The Islamic State recently called for lone wolf jihad attacks at the World Cup.

“Taxi plows into Moscow crowd including soccer fans, hurts eight,” by Jack Stubbs and Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber, Reuters, June 16, 2018:
MOSCOW (Reuters) – A taxi drove into a crowd of pedestrians near Moscow’s Red Square on Saturday, injuring eight people including two Mexicans in the city for the soccer World Cup which Russia is hosting, officials and eyewitnesses said.
The incident took place as residents and visiting soccer fans thronged the center of Moscow on a balmy summer evening.
Moscow’s traffic management authority said the taxi driver had a driver’s license issued in Kyrgyzstan, a mainly Muslim ex-Soviet republic. It cited the driver, who was in police custody, as saying he had not driven into the crowd on purpose.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a post on Twitter: “There was an unpleasant incident with a taxi. The driver lost control of the vehicle.”…

The govt lies to protect Islam. It is insane.
mortimer says
It is a cult of death that rewards killing with eternal sex with slaves in Islamic paradise.
If governments protect that, would you say the politicians are insane?
I would say the political parties are bribed.
Peter WF says
The politicians’ objective is to stay / gain power.
To do this they need to appear as good economic managers.
Good economic managers maintain an economic growth rate of a percentage that economists say is a good number.
To do this they supplement the country’s economic growth with migration.
They don’t care where these people come from. It creates more money turning over and that is “good”.
Another way of looking at this is that the first world countries prey on the 2nd and 3rd world countries for their capital and skills (and youth). You would therefore expect a lack of capital and skills in them. Search “daughter of india” and “daughter of india lifedeathprizes”. Question – Where did she die? Read the lifedeathprizes article with caution – it leaves little / nothing to the imagination.
After decades of this what would you expect the 2nd and 3rd world countries to look like?

Very true. Governments, politicians, and local authorities, can never admit to making a mistake, even to the points of making idiotic statements and presenting meaningless arguments. Our politicians betray us but there is a glimmer of hope, it will be big business that defeats Islam.

Hank says

Lebel says
This could be terrorism given ISIS’s obsession with targeting the World cup in Russia.
I do not however believe that the Russian Government is also part of the global conspiracy to protect Islam in order to enable it to take over the world.
gravenimage says
There is actually quite a bit of dhimmitude in Russia, as well–including those saying that Islam is not a threat.
Eur says
The Russian federation gives a lot of money to Chechnya in exchange for not having Islamic attacks. The Russian authorities look the other way and let sharia be applied in Chechnya. Yes, the Russian federation pays the submission tax to Muslim mobsters.
Lebel says
Do you have evidence of this? Russia is highly centralized which means Chechens pay taxes to the Russian Federation like any other region/oblast.
gravenimage says
Grimly true. Eur.
And Lebel pretending to be skeptical about Shari’ah in Chechnya is just ludicrous.
For one thing, Gays are mercilessly targeted by the state there:
“Chechen authorities are arresting and killing gay men”

“Chechnya’s Muslim president misunderstands Islam, endorses honor killing”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/05/chechnyas-muslim-president-misunderstands-islam-endorses-honor-killing
There are scores more stories.
Ramzan Kadyrov is running a de facto Shari’ah state–and Putin, to his shame, is allowing it.
Wellington says
Agreed, gravenimage. Whether it is Putin praising the opening of the largest mosque in Moscow back in 2015, or making deals aplenty with Iran, or Patriarch Cyril making a bogus distinction between Islam and radical Islam, etc., Russia has sucked up to Islam as much as so many Western states have. Difference is that people like you and I admit how pathetic the West is about Islam but “christianblood” will NEVER admit that Russia sucks too in this “category.”
Time for Russia and America to be on the same page about the religion that intends for both Russia and America (and all the world) to be one with it whatever the heinous means employed to accomplish this “end.” Not there yet. What a waste.
And I see again that “Lebel” is doing his best to run interference for Islam yet one more time. Nothing new here. Yes, for every proponent of real freedom it is best to assume that there are AT LEAST two against real freedom. More like eight or ten. In this “group” who oppose opposing such things as death for apostasy and the sanctioning of rape can be found Lebel. Surely.
Lebel says
“And I see again that “Lebel” is doing his best to run interference for Islam yet one more time.”
Great, provide clear evidence of this. It appears that anyone who disagrees with you is “running interference for Islam”. I know you think that whatever confirms your existing view of Islam MUST be true and thus you have no need of evidence, but I insist on it.
So one more time, I do not believe that the Russian Government is also involved in some vast conspiracy to protect Islam. If it terrorism -which appears likely- the FSB and other services will find out and we will know. Just like all the other times the Russian government reported on terrorist attacks. I see that for you, this means running interference for Islam. The craziest part about all this is that you’re one of the smarter ones around here! can you imagine what crazy shit the dumb ones think?
Wellington says
Actually, Lebel, I am in agreement with you that the Russian government is not actively and cognizantly “involved” in some vast conspiracy to protect Islam. But who averred this in the first place? Answer: no one. Certainly not me.
Yep, you did it again. You set up a straw-man and then knocked it down and when you are called out on this, you blame the person (in this instance me) pointing out your deceitfulness.
But what the Russian government IS involved with is 1) stupidly in not comprehending how inimical Islam is to Russia, never mind how inimical Mo’s creed is to the West; and 2) stupidly looking upon the West as a greater threat to Mother Russia than is Islam.
Your turn, Lebel, but by now you should know full well that I consider Islam evil to its core, something I would not even remotely assert about any other major religion even though I am personally not religious in the least. Put another way, do I have it out for Islam? You bet I do. Ditto for other totalitarian ideologies like Nazism and Marxism. Just wanted to state this about Islam once and for all so you have NO DOUBT where I stand on the matter of Islam, for my money the single greatest mistake over the longest period of time ever developed by man.
Yes, Lebel, understand full well that I think Islam iniquitous. No, not all Muslims are also iniquitous, though many indeed are (precisely to the extent they try to fulfill Islam’s many invidious dictates, such as death for apostasy and the rape of non-Muslim women who are not obedient and “cover themselves”), but all Muslims are, at the very least, very confused human beings. I trust you will have no doubt where I stand on the matter of Islam ever again.
And please, Lebel, spare me and others further straw-man arguments. At least do this much, that is if you will, if you are able.
A final unsolicited hint: Just imagine when/if you communicate with me in the future that you are defending Nazism and Nazis because that is the way I look upon Islam and Muslims, as the spiritual equivalent of said belief system and its deluded followers. Go from there—or prove me wrong, something which I think you have not the slightest possibility of doing.
Wellington says
Paul: So, the examples I cited above in my 6:24 P.M. post of yesterday don’t at all tend to prove that Russia has sucked up to Islam too, i.e., Putin praising the opening of the largest mosque in Moscow three years ago, or providing Iran will all kinds of aid and military material and the Russian Patriarch making the faux distinction between “Islam” and “radical Islam.” You call this standing firm against Mo’s creed? Yeah, right. And why the personal insult. Just argue your damn case, Paul, that is if you can.
gravenimage says
All true, Wellington.
gravenimage says
Paul, unfortunately Russia *is* playing footsie with Jihadists like Iran, and allowing Shari’ah law to be imposed in Chechnya.
I *wish* this were not true–but it is. Denying it is no more productive than denying similar dhimmitude in the West.
Dhimmitude is harmful to Infidels *wherever* it occurs. It has to be pointed out and roundly criticized–not whitewashed.

This is true–and I have long noted Russia’s brave history in this regard. They freed a large part of Eastern Europe from Ottoman oppression, and this should be cheered.
(One small point–much of this did happen after the birth of the US, though–especially during the 19th century. In one case–that of Bulgaria–it was actually after exposes by an American journalist–Januarius MacGahan–who brought to light Muslim atrocities against the Christian population there).

I don’t have time to watch that video right now, but will try to find time later.
But Jihad is a threat *to all of us*–the idea that Muslims butchering Infidels–even in church, as has happened several times in Russia–is not a problem, but that Westerners who aren’t throwing gay people off buildings are–is just nuts.
I *hate* seeing Russians victimized by the horrors of Jihad–*I don’t know why you don’t*.
As for the West, I know you have gloated over the specter of our falling to Muslim conquest. Not only is this vicious–the carnage and oppression, including of Christians, would be horrific–but it would also put Russia at far, far greater risk from Jihad.
That you hate Western freedoms more than the savagery of Islam is, as always, deeply disturbing.

Lebel, Gi and myself have replied to you in the “French police thwart jihad attack…” article comments section where you were asking for evidence of clearly terrorist attacks not being named as such.
Given time, the same result may well be seen with this latest story.
Personally, i would be interested to see evidence supporting your contention that this was not a terrorist attack by a muslim using a car as their weapon. By this time, the pattern is so clear, that the burden of proof could be shifting towards those who deny an islamic motive in such cases.
It would be interesting to see how many incidents there are, and have been historically, of drivers hitting large crowds of people on t he sidewalk, and if the numbers have increased noticeably since ISIS recommended it as a form of jihad.
Lebel says

At the conclusion of Ramadan, Muslims are required to do a ‘good deed’.
Mohammed said that JIHAD is the BEST DEED in REWARDS and thus the most PLEASING to Allah.
What better way to conclude RAMADAN … the celebration of JIHAD AND VICTORIES … than with an act of ACTUAL JIHAD.
There are so many NON-PRACTICING MUSLIMS in the world (35%) that it is EASY TO FIND targets for JIHAD, especially in Russia.

In Islam, “good deeds” so often involve the slaughter of unbelievers.
Niemoller says
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin needs a secular fatwa on his head for collaborating with jihadism.
Resistance to Islamism means overthrowing the politicaster quislings who are in bed with Islamists for their personal benefit and/or their spineless cowardice in the face of evil.
Merkelism is the perverse moralism of autogenocidal EU quislings who ignore law and reason to lower the gates to jihadist invasion.
Niemoller says
Spontaneous jihad is possible only when an Islamist has overwhelming contempt for non-Muslims and sees them as literally subhuman filth merely simulating a human appearance. It’s a feeling that bubbles up to the surface in moments such as when an Islamist is stuck in traffic surrounded by non-Muslims who have the nerve to not move aside when the Islamist rolls through.
Niemoller says
Islamic pathology in stages of progression:
1. Nominal Islam
2. Modern Islam (mostly still a fiction)
3. Islamism (coercion, theft)
4. jihadism (violence including rape and murder)
LeftisruiningCanada says
Spontanious acts of jihad are as expected and religiously correct for a muslim, as random acts of kindness are for a Christian.
Christians don’t always do them, but when they do it is due to following the example and teachings of Christ.

Ah, c’mon, christianblood.

You criticize America for any relationship with Saudi Arabia, admittedly a very repressive regime and one that I certainly don’t like, but you look the other way when Russia cozies up to Iran or Putin or the Russian Patriarch make the bogus distinction between Islam and radical Islam. The difference between us two is that I will criticize America and the West when they function in stupid mode but you won’t criticize Russia when it does.

No one? that’s blatant dishonesty Wellington. You have evidence right in front of you on this thread and it is impossible for you to have missed it. What kind of debate do you expect to have using such tactics?
Here’s the evidence from this very thread. This is what I responded and this is what you refer to as running “interference for Islam”:
“Jan Sobieski says
Jun 16, 2018 at 3:32 pm

“mortimer says Jun 16, 2018 at 4:38 pm

This is insane, it is nothing new on Jihadwatch and you know it. There are several threads where the authorities in France, Germany, etc are accused of covering up incidents to protect Islam. We’ve even debated on some of these. The reason jihadwatchers are saying this is because RS encourages such conspiracy theories (see incel attack in Canada or car attack in Munster Germany).
LeftisruiningCanada says
Governments, or agencies and individuals within them, never lie for political reasons?
I don’t see conspiracy theories here Lebel., I see plain old mistrust of politicians.
Which they have well earned, especially when it comes to immigration and islam.
Wellington says
Lebel: Sucking up to Islam and being in a vast conspiracy to protect and spread Islam are two very different things. Many Western and Russian elites are guilty of the former, as I have maintained on many threads here at JW, even to the point of possibly taking bribes, but being in a concerted conspiracy to protect and spread Islam is something else. One would have to be either a self-loathing person to the max to do such a thing or secretly a Muslim.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin experienced an unpleasant incident with a taxi. The mayor then lost control of his senses.
How come officials all over the world believe that commoners are idiots?
Whose side is the high and mighty mayor on?

Admitting it was Islamic terrorist would admit that the Russian authorities are just as weak as the Western World authorities at protecting the average person in their country from Islamic terrorist. Most world leaders just want to keep the status quo ,they do not want to address a serious problem .Islam is a serious problem like cancer in a body of a country if not treated it will kill that country. The treatment is expensive, painful, and only get worst if ignore ,less chance of a positive out come as time goes on.

Not at all. Firstly, we get reports of attacks in Russia which means that they are reported. It is just incredibly difficult to stop lone wolf attacks for obvious reasons. Any other coordinated plots are next to impossible to pull off in world cup cities at the moment.
LeftisruiningCanada says
“Lone wolf” attacks are still islamic attacks, which are still terrorist attacks though, right?
Lebel says
Yes but the point is that they’re almost impossible to stop. Security services can’t do much about a lone guy who self-radicalizes.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Agreed Lebel, they are hard to stop at the individual level.
The point is that those individuals do not need signed ISIS membership documents to give them links to an international terrorist group.
It is perfectly possible, and actually the case in many stories i’ve read, that all it takes to ‘radicalize’ someone is reading the koran and thinking mohammad is awesome.

Muslims have been flooding into Moscow, and Putin presided over the opening of a mega-Mosque there, the largest in Europe.
As long as this goes on, there will be more and more Jihad terror attacks in Russia, as Lebel well knows.
Brother Charles says
Tolose control means to have no control , THEN WHY DID THE STEERING WHEEL TURN ON IT OWN ACCORD WHICH IN TURN DIRECTED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT , AND SPEED UP INTO THE CROWN , IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE ISLAMIC JINN ( EVIL SPIRITS DRIVING THE CAR )?
No Muzzies Here says
I’m glad the Russians immediately went after the bastard. Pulled him out of his car, ran after him, and tried to knock him to the ground.
Muslims have strange ways of celebrating the Holy Month of Ramadan.
WPM says
“Muslims have strange ways of celebrating the Holy Month of Ramadan” Muslims celebrate most of their religion either killing, raping looting ,or being pushing loud pest blocking public streets ,screaming their hateful prays for all to hear, screaming from their towers at all hours of day and night, supremacist over non-believers. . Islam the official religion for bulling losers ,give them an inch they take a mile. Progressive bedwetters think we can appease them into” liking us” !

Wonder if Putin will be calling Trudeau for advice!
