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

Spain: Muslim recruited prisoners for jihad, offered them money for reading the Qur’an

Feb 13, 2019 2:01 pm By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the idea that the Qur’an had something to do with jihad terrorism, if we didn’t have so many moral superiors assuring us otherwise.

“One arrested in Spain for indoctrinating and recruiting young people to the so-called Islamic State,” Europol, February 12, 2019:

Europol supported Policía Nacional (Spanish National Police) in arresting a man in Ceuta (Spain) suspected of indoctrinating young people and promoting and disseminating jihadist terrorist propaganda. Police officers also carried out a search of his house.

In 2001, he was serving prison time and made contact with other prisoners who shared their radical ideas with him. Since then, he had been arrested several times for illicit arms possession, robberies and drug-related crimes. While in prison, the suspect tried to recruit young people to the extremist jihad and spread his extreme ideas to prisoners by offering them money if they grew beards, read the Quran and obeyed his orders.

The arrested man had been highly radicalised: he played loud jihadist songs, threatened people because of their sexual orientation and considered women inappropriately dressed. His high level of aggression, both in his behaviour and crimes, was very similar to other individuals who were radicalised in jail and who later carried out terrorist attacks….

    Nice. Now that he’s been arrested, he’s going to prison again to continue recruiting jihadists, but now being funded by Spanish citizens through their taxes.

    islam is pure evil and shouldn’t be allowed in the US. Also, no muslims should be allowed in the legislature… period.

      GR, your views are fascist and contravene all modern human rights codes. The reason we have those codes is to prevent discrimination. Those codes also protect you if (god forbid) Muslims take over.

        Mortimer, are you saying that we are being “fascist” if we don’t import hordes of Muslims into our lands and elect them to our highest offices?

        Would you have the same views of Nazis? If not, why not? They have similar totalitarian creeds.

          No, GI, he proposes suspending human rights for a recognized religion of those already holding US passports with the rights and privileges attached to their citizenship. What he wants is illegal. There was a pledge required under Teddy Roosevelt that required candidates denounce polygamy, slavery and other standard Islamic teachings before entering the US. That might not pass the courts today.

          The US is a light to the world in the matter of human rights. I can’t believe you don’t get that.

          Mortimer–with all respect–I do not believe that we are required to elect those who hold a creed that calls for the destruction of freedom.

          You don’t become a light to the world under brutal Shari’ah law.

    In the meantime, the pro-jihadist, liberal imperialist U$ is very upset over Armenia’s military deployment to Syria. Armenia is sending some of its military units to protect Christian Orthodox shines (including some Armenian Shrines in Syria) from the US, Nato and Saudi-backed jihadists there! More below:

      This appears to be a pro-Iran-anti-Israel site that lauds Iran and Hezb’allah and castigates democratic Israel. Who can be surprised that christianblood is posting pro-Jihad sources?

    ……………….

    This should not surprise. Muslims regularly recruit in prisons.

    “…offered them money for reading the koran..”

    It seems muhammed himself wouldn’t earn much money if he attempted to read the koran.He was completely illiterate.

    “We shall make thee read o muhammed so that thou shalt not forget”
    Koran 87 v 6

    BUT

    “….the prophet {who} can neither READ NOR WRITE”
    Koran 7 v 157

    So you see it wouldn’t work with muhammed{an illiterate}if he was asked to read the koran.

    allah Read muhammed so that shalt not forget.I’ll give you ten bucks.

    mo I..I…I can’t read allah..remember?

    allah oh yeah.Well READ IT anyway or else I’ll behead you..

    mo p..p..pr..praise..b…be..t..t.to all..alla…allah..

    allah Aw for Pete’s sake we’ll be here all day!Moses and Jesus could read..I’m just saying..but not you muhammed:the “perfect man” hah!

    mo But they are Jews allah

    allah whaaaat?No. Moses and Jesus are muslims.Everybody knows that.

    God I’m afraid not allah:all My prophets are Jews..at least they could read and write…not like your “prophet” of islam there:would you tell him to stop wearing Aisha’s dress…?

      One should suspect that Muhammad, as a caravan manager and later, a caravan robber could certainly read and write. Muhammad or his 7th-8th century creators made that phoney claim to make Mohammad look more heroic. It is ludicrous to claim that someone who must do transactions and calculations for a trsding caravan was illiterate.

    Ceuta is one of Spain’s two territories in North Africa. Its neighbour is Morocco.

    Muslims are less and less fooled, they begin to understand what really is ISIS, I think encouraging people to read Qur’an could turn out to be, in the more or less long term, counterproductive https://youtu.be/kr0zBEkrIXI.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 14, 2019 at 10:22 pm

      I think we have the right to know what it is that Islam teaches.

      • Lavéritétriomphera says

        Feb 15, 2019 at 5:00 am

        Of course to fight an enemy, you have to know it well, but I meant to say teaching Islam and Qur’an could damage pro-Islamic groups. That is why their gait may prove to be counterproductive.

    “One arrested”? This happens everywhere: Britain, Italy, France, India, Australia, Russia, Canada, South Africa…oh, yeah, and the United States, big time.

    Genuine religions go into prisons to redeem souls. That is not how islam operates. It sees prisons as fertile recruiting grounds: people already devoid of any moral compass can switch readily to jihad. They do.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 14, 2019 at 10:26 pm

      True–most faiths appeal to people in prison who want to be better people.

      Islam, instead, teaches that most of their crimes are not just condoned, but sacralized.

    Yesterday, I ran into a fellow who couldn’t stop talking about Jesus. he warned me that I would go to hell if I didn’t accept Jesus as my lord and savior. What difference is there between proselytizers of all religions?

    • Owen Morgan says

      Feb 14, 2019 at 8:37 am

      The ideology of islam demands that you die in its cause and prefers that you kill in its cause, as well. Is that a big enough difference for you?

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 14, 2019 at 10:28 pm

        Spot on, Owen.

    @Lorensacho,

    The difference is jihad does not exist in Christendom, Hinduism, Buddhism … Even crusades were not holy wars. The crusaders had the task of defending Christian pilgrims in their way to Jerusalem. That is why the order of the Knights Templar was created by Hugues II de Payns.

    • Lavéritétriomphera says

      Feb 14, 2019 at 9:27 am

      I apologize, a kind of holly war existed in the Christian world, in my region one can still visit Montségur castle, the symbol of Cathar resistance https://www.britannica.com/event/Albigensian-Crusade. Still, until shown proof to the contrary, jihad does not exist in the Christian holy scriptures.
