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

Germany: Police “not ruling out terror” in hostage-taking by Muslim migrant who threw Molotov cocktail

Oct 16, 2018 9:08 am By Robert Spencer

What? No immediate declaration that he is “mentally ill”? The Merkel government must be feeling the heat from the AfD again.

An update on this story. “German police ‘not ruling out terror’ motive in Cologne hostage-taking,” AFP, October 15, 2018:

COLOGNE, Germany — German police said Monday that they were not eliminating terrorism as a possible motive for a hostage-taking at Cologne central train station that left four people injured.

“The investigation is considering all possibilities and we are not ruling out terrorism,” said Cologne deputy police chief Miriam Brauns at a news conference.

The suspect, who was badly wounded when police stormed the scene, claimed to be a member of the Islamic State jihadist group, another police spokesman said.

He had first hurled a Molotov cocktail inside a McDonalds restaurant, injuring a teenage girl, and then taken another woman hostage in an adjacent pharmacy….

Police said they could not yet positively identify the hostage-taker, who was undergoing surgery, but believed he was a 55-year-old Syrian immigrant.

Syrian identity documents had been found in the pharmacy, they said.

    Germany is as lost as England. How do people like Angela Merkel and Teresa May hold positions of
    Prime minister and allow the destruction of their national sovereignty with this unfettered foreign invasion?
    Then they pay the invaders welfare, give them housing and not require them to work. They are bankrupting their tax paying citizens while exposing the citizens to crime, rapes ,diseases, no-go zones
    Etc etc. it’s the definition of complete insanity!! Germany is truly LOST, as is England, France, Sweden, Switzerland, etc etc

          By the understanding of this failed Government and do-gooders the protesters are Nazis and rightwingers and are destabilizing Germany. As the Ministerpräsident (similar to Governor) of Brandenburg said “all crimes will be attributed to the rightwingers and Nazis until proven wrong by the Police” meaning that one is autimatically a rightwinger if one doesn’t agree with what the leftist Government and ist followers are doing. No wonder that 50% of the Germans want to leave this country.

      AFAIK Switzerland doesn’t fit in this list. They do not let in so-called refugees, at least not in such amounts as Sweden, France, Germany, etc.

        I am afraid that Switzerland fits very well in this list.

        The Swiss government just announced that they will sign the ‘UN Global Compact on Migration’ in December because it is not in conflict with their constitution.

    The Police is almost sure that he is the 55-year old Syrian whose papers were found in the pharmacy. He was authorized to stay in country until 2021 and he also was severely drunk when he commited the terrorist act. His state of health has not improved either, as the latest news have it.

      Even a drunk Muslim will go to paradise because when he conducts jihad and dies fighting the enemy (or not) his sins and the sins of 70 relatives and friends will be forgiven.

        Mortimer, I am sure some well meaning leftist Judge will use that as an excuse for saving him from prison and a lot of these Judges are female. Why does that not surprise me?

        True, Mortimer and Heidi.

    Every Muslim is a sleeper. Every child of a child of a child of a Muslim is a sleeper. And we westerners don’t trouble ourselves to learn the codes that waken these sleepers. Sometimes it’s booze, sometimes it’s “finding their roots.” Read up and wake up!

    • gravenimage says

      Not every child of a Muslim is a sleeper–but all too many prove to be.

    “Bild” just reported that he had prepared the gas cylinders found in the back of the pharmacy with steel balls. As the TV News reported yesterday he had doused his hostage in the pharmacy with gasoline. The Police is still unsure if it was a terrorist attack. Time for them to wake up and smell the coffee.

    7 children (14, 15 year olds) of a Dutch school witnessed the attack. The teachers decided to end the trip to their destination and hired a bus to drive them home.

    In other words; this jihadi achieved his objective.

      How horrible. The poor children. Fortunately they weren’t hurt because it is bad enough to having to witness something like that. It was also reportet that the girl set on fire at McDonalds has to be operated. Her injuries must be more serious as they first though.
