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

Sri Lanka: Jihad murderer Mohamed Azzam Mohamed blew himself up in busy Easter Sunday hotel buffet line

Apr 21, 2019 1:52 pm By Robert Spencer

“‘It was 8:30 am and it was busy. It was families,’ the manager told AFP. ‘He came up to the top of the queue and set off the blast,’ he added.”

He wanted to maximize the carnage; his god promised Paradise for those who “kill and are killed” for him (Qur’an 9:111), so he might have thought he could increase the reward he would receive by killing as many people as possible.

“Eight blasts at churches, hotels across Sri Lanka kill at least 207; 8 arrested | Live updates,” The Hindu, April 21, 2019:

…The suicide bomber waited patiently in a queue for the Easter Sunday breakfast buffet at Sri Lanka’s Cinnamon Grand hotel before setting off explosives strapped to his back.

Carrying a plate, the man, who had registered at the hotel the night before as Mohamed Azzam Mohamed, was just about to be served when he set off his devastating strike in the packed restaurant, a manager at the Sri Lankan hotel said.

“There was utter chaos,” said the manager, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity as he is not allowed to speak for the company.

The Taprobane restaurant at the hotel was having one of its busiest days of the year for the Easter holiday weekend.

“It was 8:30 am and it was busy. It was families,” the manager told AFP.

“He came up to the top of the queue and set off the blast,” he added….

          When you die all stops no if’s or buts. you can say what you like but at the end of the day you are still died. Other’s may say there is another world but don’t worry when it comes to their time the same thing will happen to them.

          What I don’t like about religious person’s is they think by being religious this allows them to do actions which harm others because their religion says so. Bastards (UK meaning) all of them.

          Saying prays for the dead/injured as if it was their fault for being in a place where by chance a bomb or someone with a gun/knife killed is an insult. Just say the words or better still do something, “Stop or we will kill you but harder”. (As is done in all Middle East countries)

      Every time CAIR makes a public statement or holds out a new stooge like Omar, Muslims somewhere yell, —– Akbar, commit a horrific atrocity, and the dance is on.

    The supreme antisocial selfishness of the jihadist:Absolutely no consideration for others.
    Nothing but his own selfish desires.His choice to do such a wicked deed believing Al ilah will reward him:for doing EVIL!

    No surprise given Al iLah,the pagan,murderous, god of the Arabs, is his deity.
    The god of Hate,of Al Walaa wal baraa.
    The god who says{k5:51} do NOT “love thy neighbor”
    The god who CURSES Jews and Christians k9;30{and Hindus,Buddhists,Sikhs etc}

    Muslims make up about 10 percent of Sri Lanka’s population of 23 million. So, as the Muslim population increases, so the danger of Islamic jihad increases.

    I wonder how many European countries are approaching the 10% mark?

    Contrast his evil belief that caused his evil intent, and his evil actions with the belief of many of those he murdered. He believe murdering others would gain him lust and drunkness for all times.

    Christians believe that God will reward kindness, mildness, goodness, love, joy, peace, self-control, faith, and long-suffering (patience). The “faith” is that God will do the rewarding…and any punishing of those committing sins against Him. Self-control and patience to bear any wrongs against them, to have joy and peace, and to show love, kindness and goodness to all…even their enemies, by not causing any intentional harm. To be mild in the face of provocation and hate.

    The evil moslim will not receive any reward for his demonic actions. He is dead. satan laughs at him and those like him.

      Gravenimage – You had better go armed!

      Anyone who can – should.
      In these united States of America – the Constitution GUARANTEES that the “government” will not interfere in our God-Given, pre-existing RIGHT to go armed in defense of self, family, society, and the Republic. The Second Amendment DEMANDS a duty to go armed, at all times … according to our Founders, “the militia is the whole of the people, well-trained to arms” ……. “the militia, being necessary to the security of a free State” ….. it is the “WHOLE OF THE PEOPLE” who are “necessary” …… read the Constitution, do your DUTY, go armed at all times. Anyone, sworn to uphold the Constitution, who violates the Constitution, as written and amended, is guilty of TREASON.
      The courts DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY to overturn the Constitution … their “opinion” IS NOT LAW. Until the Second Amendment is, itself, “amended”, the Second Amendment STANDS AS WRITTEN …. BY LAW!

    Jihad Watch does a better job of exposing the violence and lunacy of islam than any other website or news outlet. If most of the major news networks in the U.S. and Europe made a similar effort, people would wake up. Most non-muslims have never read the Koran, and they just think islam is another religion. They don’t realize that islam is a dangerous 13 hundred year old hate organization. Unfortunately, most news anchors also have not read the Koran, even though almost 18 years have passed since 9-11. They are willfully ignorant and uninformed.

    On this Easter, we should not hate those who murder in the name of whatever sophistry they believe. We should pity them.

    Imagine knowing so little and believing cult nonsense so bereft of beauty and love that they would feel nothing while raping, murdering, and pillaging their way through the hard work of others. They do this so that they can feel holy and superior to others even though they’ll never know the satisfaction of hard work or the freely given love of others.

    We must pray for them. We must convince them of the error of their ways. We must read their own books to them so that they understand who we are and why we are offended at such evil.

    And then we must be gracious should they ask for forgiveness.

        Well said Savvy Kaffir”!

        The Religion of Peace and its followers do not teach or show any mercy or compassion for their vanquished non Muslim enemies. They disembowel, gouge out eyes , cut off breasts , rape with knives and decapitate , all whilst the vanquished are still breathing and feeling..

        The non Muslims who are not well acquainted withMuslims and their way of thinking and behaving assume that Muslims hold the same values and Rule of Engagement as themselves , the non Muslims.

        The West’s Achilles heel is this misguided thinking.

        When the Muslim Islamic invaders were assaulting the North west frontier of India in attempt to conquer the sub continent, they did so a number of times. They were defeated and, on each occasion the Hindu King cautioned the defeated Islamic general and ordered him to leave and take his Muslim amies with him. The Hindu King was conducting himself according to his values and code of conduct in war.

        However the Muslim armies, whom as we know are very patient and are fighting for the long term advantage, finally defeated the Hindu King who was protecting India’s North West frontier . The defeated Hindu King was brought before the victorious Islamic general . He was shown no mercy by the triumphant Muslim who immediately drew his huge sword and beheaded. The ahindu asking in one fell blow.

        Infidels , when fighting jihadi Muslims must be prepared to fight to the death…..on all fronts.

      Indeed, SK. The Islamic conception of heaven, of the afterlife, is something you might expect an ignorant Arab from the seventh century to accept, but that it is still accepted worldwide by literally millions of Muslims (especially of course male Muslims) is, I would contend, ipso facto proof of Alfred Hitchcock’s assessment of human nature, i.e. that a large majority of the time it is pathetic.

      If we view this attack on Christians in Sri Lanka at Easter do consider . The. Attack comes in the aftermath of the Christchurch shootings.

      In that attack people were. Praying in the mosques in New Zealand on a Friday ( the Muslims holy day) Here the Christians were worshipping for the holy festival of Easter Sunday.

      The Christchurch attacker was possibly from a Christian background . Here the attackers focussed their murderous assault on the Christian community. Was it payback ?

      But why Christians Tamils and not white Christians. Why Sri Lanka and not the Christian nations ?

      Perhaps only the site and society of SriLanka offered the opportunity to retaliate at earliest opportunity whilst the memory of the Christchurch attack is fresh in the world’s memory.it was easier to organise.therefore.

    This will be nothing but another blip on the earthly radar religious screen which is a one-way street, to wit, when Muslims are murdered by a non-Muslim (and virtually always done by a loon NOT acting in the name of another religion), this is cause for unending weeping, contrition and profusion of sympathy to a degree that actually reveals time and time again Western self-hate. Very much contra when non-Muslims are murdered by followers of Mo’s creed and done in the name of the Mohammedan belief system.

    No Muslim will wear an image of the Cross or demonstrate anything Christian to show solidarity with Christians because of this Islamic terrorist action in Sri Lanka—as the woeful Prime Minister of New Zealand did via the hijab she wore (pathetic for all time are you, one Jacinda Ardern). Oh yeah, a la Orwell, all lives are equally important but some lives (read Muslim lives here) are more important than all others.

    The Age of Nonsense continues unabated. And it will until Muslims and Western Leftists, the two greatest culprits to peace on earth (and in third place here are traditional authoritarians like Putin and the bastards running China), are consigned to the trash heap of history. Not there yet. Indeed, mankind is faced by the distinct possibility that the culprits and bastards will prevail. Made all the more likely by the state of the West right now, with fools aplenty in charge, examples being, in no particular order, Trudeau, Pope Francis, May, Merkel, Macron, a ton of Democrats in America and not a few Republicans, et al.

    Time for a beer. Or maybe three.

      Well said Wellington ….You mentioned China in your post…in my opinion. The U.S. has contributed more to the climb of China than any other….at one time China was do poor that a famine wiped out many many thousands…..I hate to see anyone starve to death..that does bother me…but the threat if a nuclear war bothers me also. But by the U.S.and other countries buying slave labor products they have contributed to China’s climb in the world’s manufacturing and selling allowing them yo reach the status they hold today.
      This could also be the reason on that Muslim countries have progressed not just from oil but other products also produced by slave labor……The U. S. Has always helped distressed countries, Germany…Japan after WWII for instance, and many others also.
      We always seem to feed what bites us.
      If the west soon does no take action and stop this foolish political correct—islam loving attitude we soon will be swallowed up by our own misgivings.

        It’s often claimed that 100,000 Christians are killed every year because of their religion. Earlier this year, the Vatican called it a credible number. But is it?

        Gunmen on motorcycles kill three people when they open fire on a wedding outside a Coptic Christian church in Cairo. A twin-suicide bombing outside a church in Pakistan kills at least 75 people.

        These two recent headline-grabbing attacks occurred within just a month of each other. Horrific, but by no means isolated incidents.

        So how widespread is anti-Christian violence?

        “Credible research has reached the shocking conclusion that every year an estimate of more than 100,000 Christians are killed because of some relation to their faith,” Vatican spokesman Archbishop Silvano Maria Tomasi announced in a radio address to the United Nations Human Rights Council in May.

        On the internet, the statistic has taken on a life of its own, popping up all over the place, sometimes with an additional detail – that these 100,000 lives are taken by Muslims.

        The number comes originally from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in the US state of Massachusetts, which publishes such a figure each year in its Status of Global Mission (see line 28).

        Its researchers started by estimating the number of Christians who died as martyrs between 2000 and 2010 – about one million by their reckoning – and divided that number by 10 to get an annual number, 100,000.

        But how do they reach that figure of one million?
        When you dig down, you see that the majority died in the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

        DR Congo civil war

        More than four million are estimated to have been killed in that war between 2000 and 2010, and CSGC counts 900,000 of them – or 20% – as martyrs.
        Over 10 years, that averages out at 90,000 per year.

        So when you hear that 100,000 Christians are dying for their faith, you need to keep in mind that the vast majority – 90,000 – are people who were killed in DR Congo.

        This means we can say right away that the internet rumours of Muslims being behind the killing of 100,000 Christian martyrs are nonsense. The DRC is a Christian country. In the civil war, Christians were killing Christians.

        In earlier estimates of martyrs, CSGC included killings that occurred in the Rwandan genocide. Again this is puzzling. It was not a conflict about religion – it was a case of Hutus killing Tutsis, and both sides were Christian.

        “The genocide in Rwanda was based on the systematic killing of an ethnic group in an attempt to completely wipe them out and it had nothing to do with the beliefs or the worship or the people who were killed,” says Ian Linden, author of Church and Revolution in Rwanda, and associate professor in the study of religion at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.

        “The civil wars in the DRC were the consequences of a failed state, disintegrated military force so that militias had almost full power because of the weapons they had. They were indiscriminately killing and raping and plundering and it’s very difficult to describe any of that killing as creating martyrdom.”
        But Vatican reporter and author of The Global War on Christians, John Allen, outlines an example of how someone caught up in the civil war in DR Congo could be martyred.
        “A female catechist in Congo, who is having success persuading young people in her area not to sign up with the militias, and she is killed by one of those forces because they don’t want to see the sources of recruits dry up. Now is that anti-Christian violence, or isn’t it?” he asks.
        Ian Linden also makes the point that there were Hutus in Rwanda who wouldn’t leave their Tutsi colleagues because of their Christian faith, and who were therefore killed and could be called martyrs.

        And the number of Christians who are killed each year because they are Christians is more likely to be in that order of magnitude, according to Professor Thomas Schirrmacher from the International Society for Human Rights.

        “One has to see that there is no scientific number at the moment. It has not been researched and all experts in this area are very hesitant to give a figure,” he says.

        “We are starting a research project with several universities worldwide on this topic and there we start with a guess of 7-8,000 Christians killed as martyrs each year.”

        But to some extent this number crunching is besides the point for author John Allen.

        “I think it would be good to have reliable figures on this issue, but I don’t think it ultimately matters in terms of the point of my book, which is to break through the narrative that tends to dominate discussion in the West – that Christians can’t be persecuted because they belong to the world’s most powerful church.

        “The truth is two thirds of the 2.3 billion Christians in the world today live… in dangerous neighbourhoods. They are often poor. They often belong to ethnic, linguistic and cultural minorities. And they are often at risk.

        “And ultimately I think making that point is more important than being precise about the death toll.”

    If you consider what the deep state has been doing to President Trump and you consider that the deep state has imported hundreds of thousands of these time bombs you will understand that the deep state hates the people of America. I now understand that there is no limit to the evil that the deep state is capable of. All of the bad actors all the way up to former presidents have imported time bombs but before the time bombs begin to explode those people will all be dead and gone. They have deliberately condemned the Americans of the future to the hell of islam. My contempt and disgust for these so-called American co-conspirators is bottomless.

        Their hatred of the American people is pathological.

        “My name is Karl Glocken, and this is a ship of fools. I’m a fool, and you’ll meet more fools as we go along. This tub is packed with them: emancipated ladies, ball players, lovers, dog lovers, ladies of joy, tolerant Jews, dwarfs – all kinds. And who knows, if you look closely enough, you may even find yourself on board.”

      Let’s not get too partisan here. Remember it was Bush who said the ‘Islam was peace’ nonsense with terrorist enablers standing right behind him. If he had been truthful history could well have changed. He shifted the blame from Islam to ‘extremists’. The result has been the needless death and suffering of thousands.

    Terrible, dastardly act.

    There are some Muslims who are steeped in the concept of ‘badal’ (or revenge, as the Afghans say), whole heartedly. Muslims were killed while worshipping in a Mosque in a Christian country by a Christian (although that Aussie killer, in his manifesto, did not proclaim that he was actually a practising Christian, though he was born one) and so Muslims attacked Christians on their holy day.
    Or that is what I think.

    Another sad day in this world war we are in, against Jihadism.
