The father responded “I don’t know” when asked whether it was an anti-Semitic incident.
But what about that Qu’ran he was reading? The Qur’an demonizes the Jews in numerous ways. It 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).
“Jewish vendor and son stabbed by Egyptian at iconic Amsterdam market,” JTA, March 22, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):
A Jewish father and son were stabbed at an iconic street marketplace in Amsterdam by an Egypt-born seller whom they and others said was a radicalised Muslim.
Martin Colmans, the father, and son Sharon sustained light to moderate injuries in the attack Saturday at the Albert Cuyp market, where the Colmans family has been selling furniture for decades. Sharon Colmans, whose mother is from Israel, was injured in his back, chest and arm, and suffered serious blood loss. Both have been released from the hospital.
A police spokesperson told De Telegraaf that they have no comment about the assailant’s alleged motives.
Known locally as Tarik, the alleged stabber has been selling hookahs and other smoking paraphernalia adjacent to the Colmans’ furniture shop since 2004. The stabber, who has not been named in the Dutch media, is under arrest awaiting an indictment.
Martin Colmans told De Telegraaf that the suspect had been away for several months, and that when he returned his behaviour had changed. He said Tarik was “reading the Koran a lot, stopped talking to us. Shaved his head. Prayed all the time. He also began giving us nasty looks.”
He had threatened a fellow seller, a Moroccan man who is not Jewish, with a knife recently, sellers told De Telegraaf of Tarik.
Asked whether he believes the assault was an antisemitic incident, Colmans told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “I don’t know, but he behaved very strangely to us in recent weeks.” Colmans also said he was “happy that we are alive” because Tarik seemed determined to kill them.
Tarik used a large knife in a stabbing that was filmed by passers-by. Fellow sellers, two men from Morocco, prevented him from inflicting further injuries. Tarik went back into his store, where police took him into custody, according to De Telegraaf….
Jaladhi says
aAl these stories about Muslims going on a stabbing spree throughout the world show that Quran is the source of all Muslim terrorism since in all these cases it is revealed that the perpetrators have been “reading Quran a lot”. Of course the West will never admit the simplest of all explanations(Occam’s razor) and they go through unbelievable contortions of truth to explain Islam is not the problem. Morons!!
mortimer says
Agree. The Koran is a troop motivator.

More Jihad terror?
bob kelly says
You are right Jaladhi, that has been evident for many years, but not to the gutless politicians, some of the nations in Europe are headed down a very dark path, the only thing that is left is when the muslims start to riot !
Kay says
I hope they investigate where he was the months he was away.
tim vivek says
That is what Quran can give, Is the reality appeared in Iraq and Syria , Afghanistan etc. Why Newzeland PM did not understood this. Taking her country into Islamic country.
mortimer says
Jew hatred is a normative part of Islam. Muslims never question it.

…………………….
Just being a good Muslim.
Glad his victims survived.

I think this is a backlash of newzeland attack. I have also fear about backlash(Islamophobia).
na says
far Right and far Left both are problem. Moderate neutral stand is best I think so. Just resistance. The world has changed . I was dreaming the life before 2000. We have Trump,Putin that is the only positiveness.
gravenimage says
I doubt it, na. Muslims have been slaughtering Infidels for 1400 years now–they don’t need a reason besides Islam. Besides, the NZ shooter was not Jewish, but Jews were clearly the targets here.
na says
I am not a Jew . I am an ex ‘ xtian. But I don’t have money to join in a Jewish club. But I believe in God.
But Jews are the only victims of Muslim attack (stereotype),
Attacker may target any of them whether it is Jew or non Jew.
All politics. But I expect some humanity, prevention (govt),security, socialism, and Gods kindness here.
gravenimage says
Hi, na. I was not assuming you were Jewish, and I have never said that Jews are the only victims of Jihad terror attacks–they just happen to be in this case.
Muslims were attacking Infidels–both Jews and Gentiles–in Europe for years before the NZ shooting.
na says
Not only in Europe– Russia, China, India, Africa,
BY 2000, USA
next door Jihadis any time anywhere
