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

Cologne: Muslim migrant doused hostage with gas and strapped homemade bomb to her

Oct 18, 2018 1:29 pm By Robert Spencer

But it’s not terrorism, as far as German authorities are concerned, because the hostage-taker “appeared disheveled.”

“Horror of Cologne hostage situation revealed: ‘Syrian’ had pledged allegiance to ISIS, doused captive woman with petrol and strapped home-made BOMB to her when police shot him,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, October 16, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

The man who took a woman hostage at a train station in Germany yesterday, pledged allegiance to ISIS and strapped a home-made bomb to the hostage’s chest before he was shot by police.

Police believe the man is a 55-year-old Syrian citizen who arrived in Germany in 2016, after finding an ID card at the scene of the crime ‘likely’ belonging to the perpetrator.

During the tense two-hour standoff with police at Cologne’s main train station yesterday afternoon, he reportedly doused the woman with gasoline and threatened to set her on fire.

The unnamed man walked into a McDonald’s at Cologne’s main train station just before 1pm Monday, where he lit a Molotov cocktail.

The burning gasoline flask injured two people, including a 14-year-old girl, after which the man moved with the hostage into the pharmacy.

The teenager was hospitalized with burns on her lower body and a woman at the fast-food restaurant was treated for smoke inhalation, police said.

‘Witnesses told us that the attacker said he belonged to the Islamic State group as he was entering the restaurant, but we cannot confirm this,’ Cologne Police Marshal Klaus Rueschenschmidt said during a news conference.

During negotiations over the hostage, the man asked for the release of a Tunisian woman and demanded to be allowed to leave the train station unimpeded, Rueschenschmidt told reporters.

The hostage situation ended after 2.5 hours when police officers stormed the pharmacy, seriously injuring the perpetrator.

A police spokesman said the perpetrator’s motives are still not clear, but added that they are investigating if he had extremist connections or beliefs….

    Nigel Farage has sold out to Islam. Thank Goodness Nigel Farage is no longer leader of UKIP.
    Farage told activists that the party was right to oppose Islamic extremism “but if dealing with Islamic fundamentalism becomes a battle between us and the entire religion, I’ll tell you the result: we’ll lose. We will simply lose.”

    Adding: “We absolutely have to get that Muslim majority living in many of our towns and cities on our side, more attuned to Western values than some pretty hardline interpretations of the Qur’an.”

      How is that selling out? It sounds like the truth to me. It is important to get the Muslim majority on “our” side and attuned to western values and assimilated too.

      • Westman says

        Oct 18, 2018 at 4:37 pm

        It’s “selling out” because it is impossible to accomplish peacefully in any reasonable time.

        Let’s try a Gedankenexperiment. Let’s say the West allows Iran to destroy Israel. Will that stop persecution of Jews in Europe by Muslims?

        You do realize that Muslims are commanded by Allah to not take on Western friends or their culture? There can be no assimilation for a devout Muslim.

        The Quran characterizes unbelievers as less valuable than animals and are to be converted, used, or destroyed by Islam. We see clearly that non-Muslims are denied all opportunities and given the lowest status jobs in Islamic countries.

        The only encompassing religion that has been effectively defanged is Shinto and that took a world war and an absolute defeat of an Emperor-God.

        Like the pre-war Japanese dying for dishonor, Muslims are not allowed to dishonor Islam and are under the sentence of death for leaving it – with every Muslim having a free hand to murder the apostate without any censure from Islam.

        There are only two ways Islam will subside, a century or more of apathy, or, total defeat on a world scale that makes it plain that Allah is a religious fraud, not unlike the Japanese Emperor-God.

          If you read Ezekiel 38 and watch the news about the Russian, Iranian, muslim armies building on Israel’s northern border, you will see that G-d of Israel will soon, possibly within the next year, strip allah naked parading the fully exposed fake deity before the entire world and every muslim around the world will walk away from this allah fraud forever…here is what G-d says: Ezekiel 38:23 Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

      Does Farage seriously think the West can lose against a united Islam (there will never be such a thing… Muslims today are increasingly uncertain)?

      With thousands of A-bombs, the West will not lose against Islam. Kentucky-fried Islam will lose. Big time.

        I hope so, Mortimer–but the stealth Jihad and infiltration of the West is a real danger.

      • Chatillon says

        Oct 19, 2018 at 10:49 am

        “Thousands of A-bombs?” This is not the way it will play out. As has been said, the West has been infiltrated. Our own police and judicial systems have been weaponized against us. Nuclear weapons are not an option here. Blowing up Mecca will note remove the threat posed by the jihadis living in your neighborhood and the protection they are afforded by the police services.

        Wresting government control away from treasonous politicians in free and fair elections, then cleaning out treasonous bureaucrats from the ideological swamp is the present battle space. Europe is far gone, but not yet beyond retrieval, in my view, provided the people can rouse themselves and stay roused. The prospects for electorally recapturing the government with a particular mandate to drain the swamp are dim, true enough, but it is worth the effort given the grim alternative: Civil war with a far-from-certain outcome. If in such an event liberty is restored, it would come with the cost of many thousands if not millions dead, with widespread destruction. And if liberty be not restored, the darkness that would descend would be a thing of hell itself, combing the bloodlust of Islam and Marxism into an inferno of hatred against humanity.

        Yet, if it comes to it, it is fitting to bend one’s knees only to God Almighty and totally blasphemous to do so to any man-made religion or ideology. So start the push back with prayer and a renewed faith. Miracles have happened before. They can happen again.

        IHS!

    Unfortunately your comment is wishful thinking. At best, what you hope is that most Muslims are nominally so and that we can offer them a way out of a cult that has the death penalty for leaving it. It doesn’t help them if we pretend to ourselves, or them, that somehow Islam does not have the death penalty for leaving it, let alone its mission to impose its slaving laws on ALL people.

    On the topic of the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, as well as the subject of Islamic terrorism, the scholar and author , Robert Spencer ,in this book which has the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS. In the book on page 371 the reader is informed that “Muhammad is supposed to have said ‘I have been made victorious through terror.’ In the early twenty-first century, he is being proven correct. As the fourteen-hundred –year Islamic jihad against the free world continues to advance…”
    Furthermore, as the violent and murders jihadists continue their Islamic terror attacks against many Western cities as New York City,London, Manchester, Barcelona, Stockholm, Brussels, Stockholm, ,Paris Nice, Berlin, Madrid and so forth. 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.

      They are considered lowlife miserable with psykologic issues.Not worth anybodys attention, except there violent actions.like lonely misfits, that instead of suicide or depression, gets picked up excatly at that moment to become weapons in the hands of clansmen with isis agenda. custody to all of them , until they admit there irresponsibility.

    Media says that he has been shot on the belly. After being hospitalized he fell into a coma, and now, many mainstream newspapers are worried about his recovery. My advcice to the policemen: Next time you do your job properly, and journalists won’t have to worry about the health of jihadis.

    Just horrifying. Of course this was Jihad terrorism.

      Perhaps this was one of those “hunting weapon” accidents caused by “carrying” the weapons in public; when those common German deer hunting items should have remained at home. It’s such a common mistake to “accidently” douse unbelieving citizens with gasoline, strap bombs on them, and shout something like “Allah” that it’s understandable when authorities cannot find a motive. 😉

      Read an interesting comment yesterday: A fellow said, for Halloween, he was taking his 9 year-old granddaughter trick-or-treating. He was dressing up as Muhammad and she was dressing up as his wife…

    For those who do not call this terrorism and is isis inspired, are more guilty of being a terrorist than this morlock who did such a deed.

    How can this poor woman ever heal from this experience? Answer..she never will, plus all the good and decent citizens realize the next time it could be them. What a horrid way to go through life.

      The MSM and police are covering up to protect Merkel.

      Merkel and her co-conspirators are all party to the Barcelona Agreement.

      The trauma suffered by this poor woman and all the victims of various atrocities committed by so-called “refugees” are the result of the Barcelona Agreement, contracted by the EU.

    Nowadays, the new justice has been accepted by governments: If something does not please you, or you want something, you just take a person, Poor gasoline over him/her, or strep a bomb, kill him/her, rape,
    stone or behead them, and then you say what you want and expect to get it.
    Who ever thought we would get to this all? Was it terror related? No, I don’t think so, it was a private thing to get a woman out of prison. What a superior thought that you can commit this act.. So what is this gentleman going to do when he gets healed from the gunshots and out of hospital? does he get punished for what he did, orders he go for a week to a mental hospital, “because he thought he was aloud to hold somebody as a hostage that we, and now defined as temporarily deranged or insane ?
    What have we let come into our countries? A lot of deranged people
    And muslims, know that a real Prophet is called by God and then he still has the possibility to choose, to serve humanity or not, but if he chooses to serve God(= to serve humanity) he can never be a warlord, a pedo, a man who instructs people to behead other people, stone or flog people, kill people, because his fate would have been so bad for him, he would not have been a prophet for long.
    God has His Own Universal Laws, and they never change, no matter what we do or think.
    God is the love energy, but can be soft as butter, but hard as nails and He knows every deed , thought of every living creature, everything is known. THERE ARE NO SECRETS FOR THE CREATOR, NONE.
    And we should all take that to heart. If we, as the human race would know all secrets, at this point of the evolution we would go mad, but one time everything will change, but it will go with difficulties.
    We made such a mess of everything, but such a big mess, you don’t have any idea how much(, but keep on following the money and destroy your own plane( ,sarc) because you became so greedy, and only out for yourselves, and the whole idea is that there is enough for everybody in all aspects, if some of us, did not take it all for themselves and their families, but next time around you will stand on the other side, remember that. Action and reaction. !!!

      Why would you think this act of Jihad has nothing to do with terrorism? Are you claiming that ISIS has nothing to do with terrorism?

      And while it the article does not name this Tunisian woman, it is likely that she is in jail on terrorism charges.

    His motives?

    1)he’s a muslim who is simply following the example or sunnah of his mass-murdering psycopath false “prophet” muhammed

    “I have been made victorious through TERROR”
    Bukhari 4:52:220

    2)he “prays” {no doubt} daily to the islamic god allah: a god who CURSES Jews and christians k9:30
    and in total violation of God’s Second Chief Commandment says..

    “Oh ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends.They are friends to one another”
    k5 v 51

    3)he subscribes to a ‘holy’ book that preaches hatred and murder towards ALL non-muslims k2:191

    4)he pledged allegiance to isis

    Motives?You want motives….extremist beliefs.?

    islam.the koran.the “prophet” muhammed…1,400 years plus of terror and mayhem….

    the west european male has been completely domesticated by feminism and 70 years of peace and social indoctrination. Having your own business means you’re a capitalist. Except for a small group of people, which you naturally find in any society. I have regular contacts with many people in those countries but all are docile and conditioned by the msm. None of the people I talked to, use alternative media to obtain their news. They do not question their news source, and claim they don’t have the time nor need to. So it’s no miracle people behave like they do and choose to walk this path.

    So I guess Islamic terrorists now must have the letters Property of ISIS tattooed across their forehead, carry the ISIS flag, have a large knife specifically for beheading and wear all black before the police and authorities might just guess that they may possibly be Islamic terrorists.

    But then, they would probably just say they are merely copy cats. Move along folks nothing to be seen here.

    EVEN though the Islamists tell us EVERY DAY what they will do, the idiots in policing and politics just don’t hear or see it.
