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

Ohio: Muslim who attacked man while screaming “I want to kill all the Jews” convicted of hate crime

Dec 23, 2018 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

“Ohio Man Convicted of Hate Crime in Attack Outside Cincinnati Restaurant,” Department of Justice, December 17, 2018 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

Izmir Koch, 33, of Huber Heights, Ohio, was convicted in U.S. District Court today for assaulting a man because he believed the man was Jewish in violation of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and of lying to the FBI about his role in the religiously motivated assault.

Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Benjamin C. Glassman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Herb Stapleton, Acting Special Agent in Charge, FBI Cincinnati Division, announced the verdict, which was reached today by U.S. District Judge Susan J. Dlott after a bench trial that occurred between Nov. 13 to 15.

According to court documents and testimony, the assault occurred on Feb. 4, 2017, outside a Cincinnati restaurant, when Koch yelled out asking if anyone outside the restaurant was Jewish. The victim responded that he was Jewish and Koch then ran to the victim and punched him in the head. When the victim fell to the ground, Koch and others continued hitting and kicking him, breaking a bone in his face and bruising his ribs. A half-dozen of Koch’s friends joined in the assault. Before and during the assault, the defendant was heard shouting, “I want to kill all of the Jews” and “I want to stab the Jews.” The victim was not in fact Jewish.

After the incident occurred, Koch made a voluntary statement to the FBI, accompanied by his attorney. Koch falsely told the FBI he was not involved in the fight and he had not said anything disparaging about Jews….

    Finally a judge with knowledge of the law. Will he get a long sentence or time served?

      I hope this judge’s decision will become a precedent in the prosecution of jihadists. Jihadists are pious Muslims who follow Mohammed’s commands to take the law into their own hands. Vigilantism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. A Muslim who ENFORCES ALLAH’S WILL is a BOUNTY HUNTER for ALLAH. They will be rewarded with eternal sex with slaves in exchange for murdering kafirs.

      Judges need to understand the MOTIVE of the jihadists, namely, HATRED of the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.

        Of course you’re correct, Mortimer. One of our biggest problems is the general public’s endemic IGNORANCE of Islam’s teachings, as found in the Koran (considered the LITERAL word of al-Lah), and the vast body of the Hadith, containing the words and deeds of that bandit, mass murderer and pedophile Muhammad…The Islamic disease has afflicted the world for 1400 years now!

        Hopefully, this will not be reversed on appeal, since the perpetrator has religious beliefs that encourage lying and attacking defenseless infidels, especially Jewish ones.

    The law is misnamed as claimed to be “like the blacks” and though more than one program to help recover from homosexuality, claimed “can not change,” the “must bake our” so-called “wedding cakes” and “must take our” so-called “wedding pictures,” hateful homosexual activists covered up and hid the real reason about Matthew Shepard to push the Big Lie “can’t change.” All who offer to help to recover are called “bigot” and “homophobic” and have careers, businesses and lives ruined. (Probably requests will be made to ban me. Will not be my first place banned. Will not be my second place banned.)

      You’re not hiding your homophobia. Hope the admins do what they need to do and ban you.

      Does Battle have any problem with Muslims screaming about killing Jews? It seems not–he’d much rather rant about gay people.

    A Muslim Committed the Worst Anti-Semitic Hate Crime of 2018 And no one is talking about it.

    March 30, 2018 Daniel Greenfield

    https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269735/muslim-committed-worst-anti-semitic-hate-crime-daniel-greenfield

    The worst anti-Semitic hate crime of 2018 took place outside a restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio.

    Izmir Koch, an Ahiska Turkish migrant who had already been in trouble with the law, allegedly demanded to know if there were any Jews around. A man who been at the restaurant replied that he was Jewish. Izmir punched him in the head, and then kicked him while he lay on the ground.

    The victim, who wasn’t actually Jewish, suffered bruised ribs and a fractured eye socket.

    Now a federal grand jury has indicted Izmir for committing a hate crime. The violent assault was the single worst anti-Semitic hate crime of 2018. So far. And it’s generated very little interest from the same activists and media outlets who had been accusing the White House of not acting against anti-Semitism.

    The Cincinnati assault is one of the most physically violent recent anti-Semitic attacks. But the perpetrator is a Muslim immigrant and the alphabet soup organizations don’t want to talk about it.

    It doesn’t fit their profile or their agenda.

    I still want to know, which ‘Cincinnati restaurant’ was this, where the attack occurred? Was it the Ali Baba, on Red Bank Road in Madisonville? I have noticed that the place is full of formerly Soviet Turkish Muslims.

    I like kebabs, but I can do without any ‘special sauce’ in my Jerusalem Salad.

    it is the Palestinians who are evil they are the offspring of a slave girl called Hagar, which Abraham had relations with when his wife was barren, not the legal heir to King David’s throne, when Sarah gave birth, this is the son that the legal line came through to the holy one the Son of the most high persona in the universe, The Jews and Palestinians will never have peace, it is not in the heart,HE came down to earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind to cancel the Adamic sin that Adam and Eve lost for all of us, If they do not repent and turn around and worship the heavenly Creator, they will be destroyed with the rest of the evil on this earth

      There is no problem with Arab Christians–and it is not just Arab Muslims who are violent. For instance, the Muslim in the story above was not Arab.

      This is more about the ideology of Islam than it is about ethnicity.

  6. Solomon says

    Dec 23, 2018 at 4:40 pm

    Why does this attack sound so Turkish? Its in a public place at midday, completely random and unexpected, extremely violent, there was more than one attacker, and the attacker shouted his motives to onlookers as he assaulted his victims.

    Plus, that face is distinctly Anatolian, and his first name – İzmir – is a Turkification of the word “Smyrna”. Also, the cold dead eyes.

    • Solomon says

      Dec 23, 2018 at 4:41 pm

      sorry, should be *victim.

    I actually think that “hate crime” laws embark on the Orwellian path to soviet style surveillance and “thought crimes.” People with differing views of the gender issues have literally been targeted and aggressively prosecuted using hate crime laws. It is one thing to use these laws to arrest and try a person because a certain racial or religious group was targeted by a violent attack. I really am not aware of anyone dying for lack of a wedding photographer, wedding cake, or birthday cake. I am not aware of anything in the Bill of Rights that guarantees access to cakes and photos. Go find someone else if someone does not want to bake you a cake. Would it be a hate crime to refuse to serve a gentile a ham sandwich at a Kosher Deli? Can I go to a Muslim restaurant and order a BLT?

    At the same time, we are guaranteed freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of speech, and the right to keep and bear arms. There are ample laws regarding assault, battery, threats, and civil rights (you have a right to be Jewish, or Muslim, or Atheist).

    By the way, what happened to the perpetrator’s associates in the beating of this guy?

    ‘The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims’

    Change the word Jews for muslims, and muslims for Jews, and it makes more sense.
