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

Spain: Knife-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks police officers, cops “investigating the reason”

Aug 20, 2018 8:27 am By Robert Spencer

“The regional Mossos d’Esquadra police said they are investigating the reason behind the attack.”

Perhaps they’re deciding whether this jihadi was “mentally ill” or whether the whole thing was an accident — he slipped with his knife while sharpening it.

Jihad? What’s that?

“Barcelona officers shoot knifeman who storms police station ‘shouting Allahu Akbar,'” by Latifa Yedroudj, Express, August 20, 2018:

POLICE have shot a man who shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he tried to attack officers near Barcelona this morning.

Officers fired at the knifeman around 6 am this morning, at a police station in Cornella, just outside the Catalan capital.

The 29-year-old man of Algerian origins allgedly shouted “Allahu Akbar”, according to newspaper El Pais, before attempting to attack officers.

The regional Mossos d’Esquadra police confirmed the incident, but declined to comment he had been killed.

They wrote on Twitter: “A man armed with a knife has accessed the police station in Cornella this morning with the aim of attacking officers.

“He has been taken out.

“The incident happened just before 6am this morning.”…

The regional Mossos d’Esquadra police said they are investigating the reason behind the attack.

The man was born in Algeria but had a Spanish NIE, an ID for foreigners.

The incident comes just three days after the anniversary of terror attacks that hit Barcelona’s Las Ramblas.

On 17 August 2017, Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, of Moroccan descent killed 22 people after running them over with a rented van, including a 7-year-old British boy, Julian Cadman….

    If someone had put a slab of bacon on the door of a mosque, the police would not be investigating the reason. They would have declared “hate crime” even before the first fly landed on the meat.

    Obviously, the smarter cops in Spain have found alternative employment, just as they have in other Western countries, and entry standards have been lowered. But at least they can shoot.

    Actually, news media has started reporting it as a terror attack. The police have probably found more evidence to back it up by now.

    Thank goodness for the cop who shot the jihadist! I have no doubt she saved lives.

    The Great Attractor, a cousin of the Great Pumpkin, has again applied its irresistible force upon a hapless. Muslim; drawing him to a police station where Zeus materialized a knife within his hands and forced him declare the supremacy of Allah, the moon god. Police, mistaking the posessed man for a terrorist, shot him.

    As he lay dying, he spoke delusional jibberish about virgins, filthy kufars, boy pearls, multiple servants, and my jihad. The police are currently perplexed about what it all means since relatives and friends have described the young victim as their shining example of moral youth.

    When will the Greek Gods stop playing with the lives of Muslims for amusement?

        ALL SPEECH IS HATE SPEECH.
        ALL SPEECH IS LOVE SPEECH.
        The only difference is who and what you hate, and who and what you love.
        Everyone hates and everyone loves.
        The very words yes and no are the root expression of hate and love.
        I have now enlightened you, but it won’t do much good, no
        one gives a fuck anymore about anything except pandering
        to the narrative, protecting their money from state confiscation
        and not going to jail. The Antichrist is already here.

          Your claim that no one cares about truth any more is entirely mistaken.

    In the nation of Spain that vicious dangerous Islamic crazed Muslim who was wielding a knife and scream out “Allahu Akbar” is a blatant example of those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter the different countries of Western Europe with result in them not only being ungrateful but even worse yet many of those Muslim migrants becoming so very arrogant to the point that they became criminals . As in some of them engaged in rioting and even rapes of the European girls and women. In addition to this vile brutal behavior by the heinous Muslim who were kindly permitted to enter the nations of Europe to live, As the countries of ,for example France, Germany Sweden, Denmark etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims. This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1] Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.

    I am so, so tired of, after an attack during which, the attackers scream Allahu Akbar while attacking and killing people, and others where perhaps beforehand they leave a detailed explanation that they’re doing it for Allah or Islam, the authorities profess to be clueless as to a motive.

    Just cant imagine what would motivate somebody to shout “Allahu Achbar” and attack people with a knife? Bad hair day?
