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

Netherlands: Eyewitnesses say four men carried out Utrecht jihad massacre, screamed “Allahu akbar”

Mar 18, 2019 12:01 pm By Robert Spencer

Cue the establishment media stories about how mosques, which are on lockdown in Utrecht today, despite the fact that these jihadis are more likely to hit a church or a synagogue than a mosque, are bracing for an “Islamophobic backlash.”

“Utrecht shooting UPDATES: Three dead as police release image of Turkish suspect,” by Dave Burke, Mirror, March 19, 2019:

Three people have died and several more were injured when a man opened fire on a tram in the Netherlands.

The shooting happened at 24 October Square in the city of Utrecht….

Schools, mosques and transport hubs were put on lockdown but that has since been lifted by the police….

Police have appealed for information to help trace suspect Gökmen Tanis, 37.

The police are waiting for explosives experts after the discovery of a suspicious package at the ROC Nieuwegein.

The building has been evacuated….

Police revise down number of injured to five

Utrecht Police have revised down the figure of those injured in the shooting – from nine down to five….

Meanwhile a witness has told Dutch media he felt that the perpetrator “focused on a [one] person”….

‘Four men carried out attack’, witnesses claim

Eyewitnesses claim four men carried out this morning’s fatal shooting.

According to Dutch news site Het Parool the four were armed with at least two weapons and shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’, which means ‘God is the greatest’ in Arabic.

Police have not confirmed the reports….

    White supremacists came to my mind “immediately” like other JW readers I am sure.

    How stupid can this be—closing down Mosques in the inflicted area—so as to imply that a right winger is in play once again? Stats can be awfully misinterpreted but not this one on Moslem shooting spray!

    Mosques and muslims are protected?

    Why isn’t the same done for Christians?

        OPEC oil money influence? Politicians and their flunkies bending over to be sure and get their fair share? Where does Royal Dutch Shell have most of their productive wells? Muslim countries?

    European supremacism = Bad beyond words. But Turkish supremacism = no big deal.

    The Leftards are increasing their power by demonizing Europeans. The Globalists want Europeans to disappear as quickly as possible. They will be replaced by people with high birth rates and a foreign culture. How can that be a formula for harmony and social stability? It can’t. The Dutch just cocoon and look the other way.

    I can’t say this without sounding cold-hearted, so I won’t even try, but our only saving grace is the complete incompetence of most Muslims. One Christian in Christchurch kills 50 whereas four Muslims manage to kill only three. That doesn’t lessen the carnage; but it puts it into perspective.

      the attacker made it quite clear both in his behavior and his manifesto that he was NOT in any way a Christian : many White Supremacists and neo-nazis often adopt the powerful symbolism of christianity to justify themselves{Knights,Crusades,quoting some pope or other..}.

      If anything, he was a fascist-communist pagan.

        Spot on. I saw an Isis threat message saying the Christchurch killer was a “Christian”. “Let’s target Christians” was the gist of it. That’s quite a stretch. His conduct and manifesto clearly proved otherwise. Example: a white animal kills and eats a rabbit. You are told that the white animal was a sheep. It doesn’t take much diagnosis to realise that is most likely not the case. It is more likely to be something like a polar bear.
        This whole awful event here in New Zealand has massively boosted the Islamic cause. Our PM was even wearing a hijab. Makes me wonder if the instant “far right” killer diagnosis from the far left media and government could be slightly askew.

      They (or he) had to be careful to spare the Muslims.

      The NZ shooter was babbling about “Valhalla”. He is no Christian.

    Europe can only blame themselves.
    That’s why the U.S. is taking a stand on whom we let into our country.
