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

Finland: Two attempts by “failed asylum seekers” to cause bus accidents; one tried to steer onto oncoming traffic

Dec 7, 2018 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

And if you don’t have a car, apparently hijacking a bus is also an acceptable option.

“(Updated: failed asylum seekers!)Finland: Two attempts by ‘foreign men’ to cause bus accidents on Finnish roads, one tried to steer onto oncoming traffic…….,” Tundra Tabloids, December 5, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Central Police detectives are staying mum about the backgrounds of the two perps…

Foreign passengers suspected of attacking a bus driver in Uurainen and in Loimaa – “He tried to steer the car onto the oncoming lane”

According to the Managing directors of the (two) bus companies, these were serious incidents. The passengers were suspected in both cases.

The National Bureau of Investigation (KRP) is examining a situation in which a coach passenger is suspected of attacking a driver in Uurainen in central Finland last night.

According to the KRP, the man who caused the incident had suddenly risen from his seat and had taken hold of the driver. Investigative director Sanna Springare reports that the man was apparently trying to get the bus off the road.

It was the normal route of the Koiviston Auto bus, from Helsinki to Oulu. CEO Mikko Markkula says that the passenger had taken the driver by the wrist, causing the driver to brake.

Passengers sitting on the front bench lines had noticed the situation immediately and succeeded in catching the suspect. The car had about 15 passengers.

The driver had not noticed any abnormal behavior

The foreigner, about 30 years old, was pressed into the floor and was held in place until the police arrived. The driver did not notice any abnormal behavior from the passenger when boarding the bus.

– This was a serious incident, but with the driver’s rapid braking, but nothing happened, Markkula says.

“Such a case is rare in long bus travel and travel speed,” Markkula continues.

The incident occurred last night around one o’clock in the morning on NelosTie (Highway 4), close to the Hirvaskangas. As a result, the bus was idle for about 50 minutes. The driver was able to drive to the next bus stop, where another driver continued the journey. According to Markkula, the driver has taken it calmly.

The KRP says the investigation is looking at, among other things, suspicion attemptedted traffic-disaster and as a suspected minor assault. According to the police, investigations and interrogation are still in the early stages, and the man’s motives are now being clarified, among others.

A case in Loimaa yesterday

The police are investigating the possible connection with the event in Uurainen on Tuesday, with a similar incident at around 16 p.m in Loimaa. There is a suspicion that a passenger with a foreign background is suspected of involving himself with a bus driver in the center of Loimaan, on a street near the bus station.

The bus driver who was on the road from Loimaa to Turku was completely surprised.

“The guy who sat on the front bench jumped on the driver and turned the wheel. He attempted to steer the car to the oncoming lane, says Petri Valtanen, managing director of the Valtanen bus company.

The situation was rescued by the oncoming bus driver who reacted quickly.

“He was able to swerve a bit so that only the mirror scrapped the side of the other bus,” says Valtanen.

The bus driver who was headed for Turku stopped at the side of the road. The foreigner was brought to heel by the passengers.

Petri Valtanen has been operating in bus and coach Transport for nearly thirty years. Something like this has never happened to him before.

“Yes, this was the first time.

Are the cases related?

The man who had attacked the Loimaa driver was a foreigner, about 30 years old.

– At this stage, it is not possible to say that there is any connection or whether there is a question of incidental factors, says Sanna Springare, director of investigations.

The KRP says that it is investigating the point, among other things, on suspicion of endangering traffic.

Springare says that she cannot tell more about the men’s backgrounds, for example whether they were asylum seekers. According to Springart, this is confidential information. Men are currently in possession of the police.

According to Springart, there is currently no known possible association with terrorism, but they are being looked at as well….

    Finnish papers are avoiding the T-word, resorting to calling these incidents ”dangerous encounters”. Yes, both of them are rejected asylum seekers. Also, pretty hard to play the mental illness card – both got it at the same time, hundreds of kilometers apart…? Approximately a week ago, a security guard was stabbed in the neck at a mall – no T-word, no follow-up. Even a little more than a year ago, when we had our first fatal strike of terrorism, it was watered down in media and called only “with terroristic intent”, although the perpetrator confessed, and even insisted, that it was an act of terrorism. Unfortunately, calling a spade a spade is hate-speech in this country these days.

    “Petri Valtanen has been operating in bus and coach Transport for nearly thirty years. Something like this has never happened to him before.”

    No, it wouldn’t have. Until recently, Finland’s been for the Finns, an arrangement for which there are eminently sensible reasons.

    Well done those vigilant passengers – at one o’clock in the morning – who “noticed the situation immediately and succeeded in catching the suspect. …. The foreigner… was pressed into the floor and was held in place until the police arrived.”

    Remember the shoe bomber?

    IN PRAISE OF VIGILANCE 2014.02.09

    For harm, for harm, for maximum harm,
    Was the bomb that he hid in his shoe.
    To kill for Islam, and be killed for Islam,
    A devotional act to do.

    When he boarded the plane there were splashes of rain
    Which had an effect on the fuse.
    It failed to ignite, and others caught sight
    Of the terrorist lighting his shoes.

    The passengers leapt into action.
    One pounced and grappled him tight.
    Pinned to the floor by a hero and more,
    He was forced the dust to bite.

    He meant to deprive all the others of life,
    All ties with the world to sever.
    Now jailed for life, where life means life.
    He won’t be released. Not ever.

    Just a quick question: why were “failed asylum seekers” enjoying their freedom (travelling on public buses but intending to deprive others of their lives in the name of their hateful ideology)?

    Should they or should they not have been in a secure facility prior to being shipped out to somewhere else, preferably to a place where they could live out their miserable lives in the company of others who share their ideology?

      Dear Jennie Hanson,

      that would make sense, wouldn´t it? Common sense? Oh no, we cannot have that here.

      We do have one party, Finns Party, the fourth biggest no less, which has always insisted on having rejected or failed asylum seekers separated from the general public due to security concerns and for decreasing incentives to come in the first place. For that, they are called Nazis by others and kept out of practical political power. And it goes far beyond that.

      In our system, the president is not supposed to use domestic political power / power in interior affairs. That did not stop him from actively keeping Finns Party out of practical political power, because they have not “shown active remorse” for their racism. His sidekick, the prime minister, was providing wingman services by stating that Finns Party had a priori flawed “value base”. The very same prime minister promised his own house to asylum seekers in order to jack up awareness and unreasonable expectations, on the top of his run-of-the-mill virtue signaling. Needless to say, that went viral in Middle East in a New York minute. Needless to say, he did not come through on his promise. He is still the prime minister. It´s a good old nut job here alright.

      They will run the very same play on next elections – they already said so – and they have been doing exactly the very same thing in Sweden for years. Only Denmark has just recently started to show signs of sanity in these matters. Danes are waking up, we are not.

      For example, our minister of interior / domestic affairs insisted that the government knew identities of all 30 000 asylum seekers, who entered the country in 2015 with no paperwork or means of identification. Surprise, surprise, that turned out to be a blatant lie. Did she get fired? Heavens no. She got both promoted and she won a prize for her work. “Shrewd communication in crisis situation” was the grounds for her PR prize.

      You learn to laugh and cry at the same time in this country.

      I suppose it all starts with language. “Failed asylum seekers” are in country illegally, but “how can a human being be illegal”, cried an army of snowflakes. Can´t have that. Hence, they are now “paperless”. Pony up for the paperless!

      Taxpayers are paying through the nose for all of this – money that we do not have, in fact, the government is borrowing money all of the time in order to pay for this. Moreover, there are incentives: City of Helsinki is now providing free medical to these people, while some people are making money by helping “the paperless” to come up with endless renewals / complaints concerning handling and/or verdicts of their applications, jamming up the legal procedure channels accordingly. Beyond these factors, crime pays here: excuses, ridiculously low sentences – aiming at rehabilitation – and should the push come to a shove, jails or correctional facilities, which are like three star hotels on global scale.

      And people wonder why we drink…;)
