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

Spain: 14 Muslims arrested for jihad plot, friend says one “has never shown terrorist attitudes, does not even pray”

Jan 15, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The photograph of a Muslim wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned “DIVERSITY” as he is arrested for a jihad plot by heavily armed police is a candent summation of the predicament of the West today.

Anyway, one detainee’s roommate said that the arrested man “has never shown terrorist attitudes.” “He does not even pray.”

The roommate clearly knows what the mainstream counterterror analysts deny, that there is a connection between devoutness in Islam and involvement in jihad terror. Not all devout Muslims are jihad terrorists, but all jihad terrorists are devout Muslims. In this case, it is likely to come out that the jihadist who didn’t even pray did actually pray, but was following the Islamic State’s instructions to appear secular in the West, avoiding mosques, not carrying at Qur’an, etc. Or else he had a recent return to his religion, deciding to try to compensate for his sins by doing the deed that Muhammad said was the greatest of all: jihad.

“Fourteen arrested in the anti-jihadist operation in Barcelona and Igualada,” translated from “Catorce detenidos en la operación antiyihadista en Barcelona e Igualada,” by Cèlia Forment and Alba Solé, El Nacional, January 15, 2019:

The Mossos d’Esquadra have carried out an antiterrorist operation on Tuesday morning in Barcelona and Igualada to dismantle a jihadist cell. The deployment, which involved a hundred troops, has received the name of Alexandria Operation and there are, for now, 14 detainees.

The investigated cell was formed by criminals who specialized in robberies and other petty crimes and who have been radicalized. It is a group of individuals who intended to perpetrate a terrorist attack.

Sources of the investigation, nevertheless, have assured El Nacional that the group of investigated people “did no have the will or ability” to perpetrate an attack. It is understood, then, that the investigation has deactivated a group of jihadists who began to make plans to commit an attack, but still had not accumulated enough ammunition.

Inside the building, no infrastructure or logistical network prepared to commit an attack has been found; nor has there been any evidence to show that a strategy was being followed to plan an attack on a specific site and day.

Detentions

The Mossos confirm that there were 14 Germans arrested, one of them in Igualada.

The searches of the houses of the investigated began before 6 in the morning and one of them, who was arrested on Arc de Sant Cristòfol Street in the neighborhood of Santa Caterina, is suspected to be the head of the cell.

The Mossos have also taken material confiscated from an Arco de Sant Cristòfol apartment in the district of La Ribera.

The detainee’s roommate, who was present at the time of the searches, explained that the police officers entered the building when it was only a few minutes before five in the morning. They have lived together in this apartment for a year….

The witness has detailed that the agents did not know their names, and has insisted that his partner “has never shown terrorist attitudes.” “He does not even pray”, he assured reporters. Of course, according to the partner, the arrested man had been arrested previously for “stealing wallets.” This roommate also explains that the detainee is of Algerian nationality, has been living in Barcelona for 9 years, and is 34 years old….

    There is that word “radicalised” again. The UK Government gives this definition of radicalisation:

    “the process by which a person comes to support terrorism”.

    Could that process be influenced by the revered words of a certain leader?

    “I have been made victorious with terror.”

    Or of a certain book?

    “Strike terror into their hearts”.

    We wait for authorities to make the connection. It is becoming late.

    A number of NON-OBSERVANT and NON-PRACTICING, ‘MODERATE’ MUSLIMS helped the DJOKHAR BROTHERS during their BOSTON MARATHON ATTACKS.

    The MERCEDES that the DJOKHAR BROTHERS highjacked had a BUMPER STICKER that said “COEXIST”.

    This is the PARADIGM OF LIBTARDED DENIALISM. The car highjacked by ISLAMIC TERRORISTS was driven by someone who DIDN’T BELIEVE IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

    Fortunately, the Mercedes hijacked by Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a 2013 ML350 with an active telematics subscription. Mercedes was asked to help find the vehicle using the Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance function on the crossover’s mbrace telematics system.“

    The name DJOKHAR = THE JOKER is right out of BATMAN.

    The caped crusaders were the Boston police.

    It will soon be time for the SECOND RECONQUISTA of Spain and the second expulsion of Muslims. Muslims and Spain = TRAGEDY, ENSLAVEMENT and MASS MURDER.

    Muslims who have lived UN-ISLAMIC LIVES and broken Islam’s rules and commandments can INSTANTLY REDEEM THEMSELVES by killing and being killed in JIHAD.

    All ‘moderate’, non-observant, blaspheming Muslims know that. JIHAD is the SUREST and QUICKEST way to Islamic porno-paradise.

    Libtarded, uninformed SMUGLY UNREAD and UNSTUDIED Western Globalists KNOW VIRTUALLY NOTHING about Islam’s compulsory ‘ESSENTIAL’ teaching regarding the HATRED DIRECTED TOWARDS KAFIRS and JIHAD-TERRORIST WARFARE DIRECTED against the DIRTY KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.

    The roommate knows that there is a 100% correlation between fervent Muslim prayer and blowing innocent people to bits.

      In any case, if the room-mate is a Muslim, we probably cannot and ought not to believe a word he says.

    I S L….AMI…C MOSQu..EEE …..cheese anyone. “We wait for authorities to make the connection.” We wait for authorities to uncover the deception of the word “radicalized” and the attitude of nothing to see or hear here, move on.
    Sedition is not a vapor but well organized and if you read and listen has existed in plain sight. Restore the purged doctrine words,it will be offense to some who will scream “bigot” but it is the only defense and can clear the dangerous growth of the fog.
