Netherlands: Seven Muslims arrested for plotting “major terror attack with suicide vests, assault rifles, car bombs”

Sep 27, 2018 3:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Time for the Dutch government to undertake a new study of how to combat “Islamophobia.”

“Dutch police arrest seven men plotting ‘major terror attack with suicide vests, assault rifles and car bombs – masterminded by Iraqi arrested last year for trying to fight with ISIS,'” by Rory Tingle, Mailonline, September 27, 2018:

Dutch police have arrested seven men suspected of planning a major terror plot to attack an event with suicide vests and assault rifles before striking another venue with a car bomb.

The suspects were detained by heavily armed police in the towns of Arnhem, about 62 miles south of Amsterdam, and Weert in the southern Netherlands, close to the borders of Germany and Belgium.

Dutch intelligence believe the alleged ring leader, a 34-year-old Iraqi who was arrested last year for trying to join ISIS, wanted to carry out an attack at the site of a large event in order to cause multiple casualties.

In Arnhem, police backed up by surveillance helicopters forced open a door to a house and threw smoke bombs inside. Explosions were heard, but it is not sure where these came from.

Two of the other suspects, who ranged in age from 21 to 34 and were found with five guns, had also been convicted of trying to join ISIS.

They were also trying to obtain AK47 assault rifles, handguns, bomb vests, grenades and raw materials for bombs and were looking for opportunities to train with the weapons, according to prosecutors.

Officials said that the investigation sped up this month because of the suspects’ ‘advanced preparations’….

The anti-terror coordinator has decided not to raise the threat level in light of the arrests. ‘Jihad networks are also active in the Netherlands with the intention to plot attacks in Europe,’ the office said. ‘Today’s arrests must be seen in that light.’

    Will the Dutch now stop persecuting Geert Wilders and TAKE HIS ADVICE?

    • Westman says

      Sep 27, 2018 at 4:40 pm

      Mark Rutte would lose face if he acknowledged the reality was different than the delusion the government has been spouting for years. Wilder’s party is gaining ground as the others try to keep them out of governing coalitions. It’s just a matter of time before so many citizens are activated that the PVV governs.

      Muslims just can’t be tolerant enough to stop “forbidding” and jihad.

      Very doubtful Mortimer….very DOUBTFUL.
      We see most every day here on JW that jihadist perform acts of murder and we see many times when law enforcement stops these murderers before they can perform these atrocious acts….Now…most of these happen in countries other than the U.S. and we must be thankful for the good work that our law enforcement officials here in the U.S. do and thankful that we are not infested with as many migrants as is in Europe…. which. Mixed among them are, many whose main thing of being there is to commit atrocities against their host countries. Each of us should look at who is responsible for this and again be thankful. I know that our borders are not as open and as those in Europe but still we do have borders that need better protection and we need to look at whose fault it is that there isn’t better protection of our borders.

    Those seven Muslims who are also jihadists who were arrested in the Netherlands because they were plotting a massive Islamic mass murder jihad attacks using car bombs, assault rifles and wearing suicide/homicide vests should be a “wake up call ” to the Europeans of the many deadly dangers those Muslims who are also jihad-minded Muslims. This also should serve as a reminder of the sad tragic and terrible reality of jihadist / Muslims engaging in Islamic suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for a large part, the outcome the extreme brainwashing that is performed in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrasas. In those jihad mind control places students are thoroughly indoctrinated into the jihadist mindset of committing murderous bombing attacks in the jihad for the advancement of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran instructs in 9:111. , for example, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” Therefore, those who come out of those Quran based mind programming centers .mosque and madrasas, are so terribly harmed and damaged that they are literally, as it has be rightfully called, “dangerous to self and others.” This results in jihad suicide /homicide attack in which those jihadists who commit such murderous actions are so very deluded that they think of that jihad mass murders as “martyrdom operations.” This is Islamic delusion of the most heinous and malicious kind.
    This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”
    In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above ,this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.

      You word in God’s ear, Walter, but I doubt that our braindead politicians will wake up. Not even a major terror attack will wake them because they are so adamant in completing their plans that nothing happening to the general public will wake them. The only thing that will wake them is if it should happen to one or more of them. Even if the Police prevents planned attacks I have no doubt that eventually major attacks will be carried out and a lot of innocent people will be maimed or even lose their lives.

  4. Walter Sieruk says

    Sep 27, 2018 at 3:55 pm

    Those scheming vicious and malice-filled jihadists in the Netherlands as well as other jihadists who plot and engage jihad attacks in Western nations be the Muslim terrorists in the city of Stockholm, London, Manchester , Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.

    • Heidi Walter says

      Sep 28, 2018 at 10:28 am

      Walter, we cannot rely on the Police or Military because they are already infiltrated by them. The Dortmund Police even advertised in the Turkish language to hire young people. We have to rely on ourselves.

  5. Wellington says

    Sep 27, 2018 at 4:31 pm

    By now, Islam should have been written off as one of the greatest mistakes, if not the greatest mistake, in mankind’s history. That it has not been serves as an monumental example of mankind’s capacity for highly destructive folly.

    • Westman says

      Sep 27, 2018 at 6:22 pm

      How true, Wellington.

      I may not live to experience it, yet, an unavoidable showdown is coming between the West and Islam. It may be a war with Iran, or, a conflict with ME Sunnis when the West is no longer dependent on oil.

      Islam, taking so much time and reources from its members, requires being subsidized by some means, whether jizya or oil. Neither Iran or Saudi Arabia is self-sufficient without oil and Saudi Arabia must subsidize the Sunni mosques in Europe and the US if they are to become more than a building or converted industrial shop. Who is going to visit those new Saudi resorts when the money runs out?

      It will be economic reality that finally gives the West the backbone to end any subsidy to Islam and start aggressively curtailing it. Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, etc, are all going to run out of other people’s money.

      • James Lincoln says

        Sep 27, 2018 at 6:42 pm

        I often wonder what would happen if Western countries got to the point where they would no longer have to import even one drop of oil from Muslim majority countries…

        For example, what would happen to Saudi Arabia if they could no longer count on hefty revenue streams from their oil deposits? Could they still bankroll new mosques in Western countries, etc.???

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 28, 2018 at 12:04 am

          It looks as though Saudi Arabia is near the end of their oil reserves.

          All other nations have diversified save those in Dar-al-Islam.

  6. Hugh Fitzgerald says

    Sep 27, 2018 at 5:23 pm

    Almost every day, somewhere in Europe, a plot by Muslim terrorists is uncovered, as happened here. These foiled or failed attacks should be treated as if they were successful. An estimate should be given of how many lives would have been lost. Otherwise, the more successful the security services are in foiling plots, the less people will be worried. And they should be worried.

    • gravenimage says

    • David M says

      Sep 27, 2018 at 9:06 pm

      Seven more cases of mental illness breaking out, it was just a pure coincidence it broke out in these seven Muslims all together. Or so the politicians would tell you anyway.

    • tim gallagher says

      Sep 27, 2018 at 11:02 pm

      Of course, not just in Europe, Hugh. My reaction these days to these endless attempts by Muslims to murder non-Muslims everywhere in the world, is to think, “Oh, here we go again, why the f**k do we keep putting up with this garbage?”. Slam the door on letting any more Muslims into any non-Muslim countries and kick as many of the Muslim enemy as possible out of all non-Muslim countries is surely the only answer. It is appalling that these attempted terrorist attacks, along with successful attacks, rape gangs and other barbaric garbage that Islam brings, seem to have become just a normal part of our lives these days. You’re right, David M, it’ll be “mental illness” or it’ll be “but this is not anything to do with true Islam” ,etc. I just wish more countries would wake up and follow the policies of Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. I do believe that will happen reasonably soon because I believe there must be vast numbers of people who, like me, are thinking, “Why the hell are we putting up with this garbage?”.

        The UK will continue with its suicide mission just as long as the ‘fools’ that constitute the population in this country keep returning the advocates of a sharia Britain to Westminster,until ‘we’ begin to realise that the Con/Lab lyers cheats and appeasers are hell bent on destroying everything white and British and until we have the intelligence to replace these charlatans with a pro British patriotic political movement,well things will just slide.White minority in the Capital city,soon to be the same in the second city,we need a strong government determined to stop the rot and ‘encourage’ these medieval cultists to return to their own cultures before civil unrest becomes the norm,THE SOLUTION IS IN OUR HANDS.

        • tim gallagher says

          Sep 28, 2018 at 7:52 pm

          That’s true, Tony. Countries like Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia are showing our countries what needs to be done. Those countries must have smarter, more realistic, populations than our countries do. In Australia, where I live, not enough people have woken up yet. I hope they will wake up in vast numbers soon. You are right, Tony, in our democracies, it is up to the “fools” that constitute the populations of our countries to change things. As you say, the solution is in the hands of the population of voters.

    This plotting and scheming and eventual enacting (GOD FORBID) of mass murders is a given relentless constant with Islam and Muslims in infidel lands and even in their own, Their hatred and Jehaad NEVER ends! This is the grim reality that people like Spencer are repeatedly pointing out. Will the free world ever wake up b4 it is too late..

    This is good news on a few fronts. One being that the FBI can get advice from the Dutch on how to stop such attacks.
    Just think, if the FBI had been using Dutch techniques of investigations, the Garland
    attack could have been completely avoided. s/o

    It is at this point a known, incontrovertible fact that most Muslim migrants to the West reject European culture and values, and many express hatred for their host societies and a desire to overthrow and replace them. This, even as most Muslim migrants enjoy some form of public assistance.
    Yet the great migration continues, unabated.
    I would like to see what European history books a century from now will have to say about this era.
    They will probably celebrate it, and be written in Arabic.

      Yes, the hijra into the West, our colonization by these backward muslim primitives is indeed upon us, and continuing on in full-throttle.

      I’m just so glad they caught this one (even though -if you think about it- each thwarted attempt almost serves to keep people in the dark about the magnitude of this threat).

      The codes to our undoing are contained within the systems of our open societies, and the schemers who turn the screws (with the help of endless, refugee-generating wars, and the useful dhimmi idiots among us who push their accommodation) have figured out a simple formula to crack them in all of our Western countries, and they continue to send out their foot soldiers and worker ants to occupy & overburden, terrorize, and colonize our towns and cities.

    The UK politicians do not understand that islam is all about domination of non muslims and installing sharia law- and will kill all non mulsims, christians and jews all in the name of a non existent allah.
