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

Muslims who murdered 16 in Barcelona jihad attack also planned truck bomb jihad massacre at Eiffel Tower

Jul 11, 2018 3:06 pm By Robert Spencer

This is the reason for the new fences and barricades around the Eiffel Tower. But why keep bringing in more people among whom will always be an unknowable number of enemy combatants?

“Barcelona Terrorists Plotted Eiffel Tower Truck Bomb,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 10, 2018:

The 2017 Cambrils terrorists had travelled to Paris the week before their August attack and had plotted to set off a truck bomb at the base of the Eiffel Tower, according to new information obtained by Spanish media.

The attackers, who killed 16 people last August in Barcelona and the town of Cambrils, are said to have travelled to the French capital a week before their attack and had already rented a large truck to carry out their bomb plot, Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reports.

According to the paper, an accidental explosion which occurred several days before the terror attack had been caused by explosives that were originally meant to be placed in the truck and set off in Paris. A source claimed that nearly 450lbs of TATP, an explosive favoured by the Islamic State terror group, had been present in the plotters’ demolished apartment.

Investigators also looked into the internet history searches of the terrorists and found what they believed to have been potential targets as one man searched to see if the Barcelona football club was playing a game, and searched other targets such as the Sagrada Familia basilica which was revealed as a target last year….

    Fences and barricades here, there and most everywhere, courtesy of Islam.

    No other religion requires authorities of one nation after another to put up fences and barricades to insure against religious terrorism. Islam is alone here, as it is in so many other negative categories.

    A la Bob Dylan, if Muslims would only step into non-Muslim shoes for a while they’d realize what a drag it is to see them and have to deal with their hideous faith. There is not a single time I come across a Muslim that it is not a downer to see that person. Islam, all of it, is so depressing. It’s a drag on all of mankind.

      Response to Wellington: ‘step into non-Muslim shoes’. Many total fanatic Muslims do the whole-of-Islam approach 24/7 for a few years and then develop what is called ‘SALAFI BURNOUT’.

      They stop practicing Islam totally, because its rituals are seen to be obsessive-compulsive and ultimately meaningless. Allah is never satisfied and is capricious. Something as absurd as breaking wind while at prayer (highly likely considering the position!) is said to invalidate one’s prayers, so they must be repeated without the windage.

    It is an impossible task to fence off all of the sites around the world to prevent these inhuman attacks.

    Governments continue to address the symptoms, never the cause of this evil.

    Politicians need to grow a pair, and soon.

      Governments continue to make the problem worse, see Kalergi plan.

    Yes, and then there are all those terrorist attacks that could have happened… were they not stopped first!
    As they say, it’s the thought that counts.

    No one should be surprised by this.

    Paris used to be a great place to visit, it’s off my radar screen for the foreseeable future.

        No, islam has not taken over the country. I leave you with the responsibility for the word shithole, I would never use that word to describe an American city as Washington for example.

          Lavéritétriomphera, Jihad is certainly a problem in France. One is not insulting France to notice that this is so.

          Hi Gravenimage,

          Jihad is a problem everywhere, but “Trou à merde” is insulting.
          In any event, the revolutions are made by a minority, some travel ahead, and others behind, but the goal awaits everyone.
          Cordialement.

      Bach, France will lose billions in tourist revenue unless they start deprogramming and integrating the Death Cult.

      Islam and modernity and French culture do not mix.

      • Lavéritétriomphera says

        Jul 12, 2018 at 10:32 am

        Very true, French philosophy cannot exist without an exchange of views. And we prefer philosophies to religions. This is the reason why, french argue in favor of freedom of ideas http://www.the-philosophy.com/montesquieu-quotes.
        The totalitarian islamic ideology does not accept freedom of thought.
        In addition of this, Shariah is a legal system unfair as far as possible.
        For example someone who steals food because he’s hungry, must have his hand cut off, while the one who misappropriates funds does not (in principle) lose his hand.

    Paris and much of France condemned to permanently high security and “leaders” have the blinders on.

    Re: “But why keep bringing in more people among whom will always be an unknowable number of enemy combatants?”

    Because the politicians’ motto was always, is still, and always will be:

    “THERE’S NO MONEY IN SOLUTIONS, so PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY – AGAIN!”

    This way, all their crony donors in the security industry can continue to be enriched at our expense by our tax dollars for basically allowing us to be terrorized maimed and murdered for their own greed.

    It’s gone well beyond their merely habitual criminal negligence now, into full-on Treason territory!
