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

Michigan: Muslim who stabbed cop “believed he was a soldier of Allah. His mission was to kill Americans.”

Nov 8, 2018 11:51 am By Robert Spencer

“Ftouhi believed he was a soldier of Allah. His mission was to kill Americans until he himself was killed. Ftouhi wanted to a be a martyr for Allah. He wanted to die for his cause.”

No doubt Pope Francis is on his way to Flint right now to explain to Amor Ftouhi that authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. No doubt a legion of moderate Muslims are on their way as well. Perhaps John Brennan and John Kerry can go also. We are constantly told that Islamic jihadis have nothing to do with Islam, when they themselves constantly insist otherwise. No one, however, seems particularly concerned about this anomaly.

“Accused Flint airport stabber ‘on a mission to murder,’ U.S. attorney says,” by Dominic Adams, MLive.com, November 7, 2018 (thanks to Brian):

FLINT, MI – Federal believe Amor Ftouhi was “on a mission to murder” when he traveled to Michigan from Canada and then to Bishop Airport where Ftouhi allegedly stabbed a Bishop police officer in June 2017.

Opening statements and witnesses testimony began on Wednesday, Nov. 7 in Ftouhi’s terrorism trial in Flint U.S. District Court.

“Ftouhi believed he was a soldier of Allah. His mission was to kill Americans until he himself was killed,” Jules DePorre, an assistant prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said during his opening statement. “Ftouhi wanted to a be a martyr for Allah. He wanted to die for his cause.”…

Ftouhi planned to go to Bishop Airport, stab a police officer and take his gun and start shooting others inside the airport until he was killed, DePorre said during his opening statement.

“He believed that by committing the attack it would improve the likelihood he would be admitted into heaven,” DePorre told the jury of eight men and six women. “He believed by committing his attack there he would embolden others.”

    That violent and vicious Muslim who strapped a police officer is the product or result of the violent and vicious religious religion of Islam . As the “book book’ of this religion instruct in strong and deadly violence. As seen in for example [2:191 .5:33. 9:5, 111, 47:4.]

    Dr. Sabastian Gorka ,well, understands that the root cause of the ideology of Islamic terrorism which is Islam. For in his book which is entitled DEFEATING JIHAD explained about the jihadist –Muslims on page 132 which reads “The enemy’s center of gravity is ideology of holy war against the infidel…”
    This is, of course, the ideology of Islam jihad [Islamic terrorism] in which the jihadists are in this war against us for the victory of Islam over us.

    The Muslim who strapped the police officer was a jihad –minded Muslim was following the Instruction of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, which instructs in vicious jihad violence. As, for example,, seen in Surah 9:123. Which teaches “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you.” Stabbing people who are non-Muslims is a very effective way of showing them “harshness.” Islam a “peaceful religion” ? Nonsense!

    The Bible in Romans 13: 1,2 it is written “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resist resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.” [N.K.J.V.] In addition to all this, in verses 3 and 4 in this same chapter of the Epistle of Romans, with emphasis on verse 4 it actually refers to governmental law enforcement officers as a type of “ministers of God” Therefore, it stands to reason that engaging in violence towards police officers are really, engaging in violence towards ministers of God. How evil, how heinously wicked, how demonic, how monstrous. What and affront to all that is decent, good and right.

    I hope that the prosecutor will be able to keep focus upon Koranic admonitions and lay the blame on the mindset Ftouhi had as a result of the SHARIA straightjacket that imprisoned his mind … i.e. he believed he was right fo love death not life in obeying – like a slave – the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers).

    What? He “believed … his mission was to kill Americans.” Well, why didn’t you say so?

    His religious duty must be protected by the Bill of Rights.

    The jihadist Muslim acted out in such violence with the intent to harm the police officer by strapping him because of the jihad agenda for Islam.
    For that jihad-minded Muslim said he “believed that he was a solider of Allah and his mission was to kill Americans .” Many citizens of the USA are sadly ignorant and uninformed about the actual and deadly essence of Islam Therefore , they will just brush off this incident of violence by considering that Muslim as a someone who is a “Nut” As in a that was just an isolated violent incident acted out by a “crazy” man…

    The only sort of right about that Muslim being “crazy ” but the American will overlook the reality that he was driven crazy,irrational ,by being minded infected with Islam with its jihad violence. For Islam is a violent irrational and crazy religion..

    Another thing which is well worth noting ,Is this Muslim with all his jihad violence was no doubt , sincere in that he actually believed that He “was doing the right thing by that strapping of the police officer because in the Islamic way of thinking that “Allah wanted him to do it.”
    This alone should expose the complete foolishness and total folly of that false statement which is that “It doesn’t make any different what you believe as long as your sincere.” Any sane and rational person will recognize that statement as nonsense.

    What will it take to remove the Cult of Islam from the USA then all Western countries? Revolution? Military coup? Whatever is required to remove the evil pestilence spreading across all Western countries better be done before the barbarian horde overwhelms Western civilization. Western civilization is engaged in a war of survival!!!
