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

Sweden: Muslim migrant wanted to become an Islamic martyr, tried to run over and kill at least 10 people

Apr 6, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“Afghan tried to kill at least ten people in Lund – heard voices and wanted to become a martyr,” translated from “Afghan försökte köra ihjäl minst tio personer i Lund – hörde röster och ville bli martyr,” NyheterIdag, April 5, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

LUND On New Year’s Day, the Afghans traveled around Lund in a stolen car and tried to drive into at least ten people on pedestrian crossings and sidewalks, but everyone escaped him, not least thanks to a taxi driver who went after him and chased him until he was caught. Now he is being prosecuted for ten cases of attempted murder. “I know, I get good feelings of becoming a martyr to God,” he says himself.

An elderly man from Afghanistan had refueled the car in Malmö, but on his way out of the gas station, a younger Afghan stood in the way and kicked the car when it stopped. The driver got out of the car and asked what he was doing, but then the younger man began to wave his arms against him.

“He shouted all the time I’m gonna beat you, I’ll kill you, you fucking old man. All this he said in Persian,” said the car owner in questioning.

As the driver backed off, the younger man jumped into the car, where the car keys remained in the lock, and drove from there. A couple of hours later – it is unclear exactly what he did in between – he came to Lund, where for half an hour he drove around at leisurely speed and looked for victims to run over and kill.

His goal was both cyclists and pedestrians, and on a couple of occasions he slowed down and stopped to target people across the street, and then run down and try to run them over. According to one witness, at one point he aimed at a group of young people, 30–40 in number, but at that point the edge to the pavement was too high, so he was not able to get over it. On several other occasions, he just drove up on sidewalks to target pedestrians who in some cases had to run away.

Taxi driver may have saved the lives of many

One of the reasons that no one lost their lives or even got some injuries was probably that an available taxi driver, himself with a background in the Middle East, paid attention to the Afghan at an early stage when he passed a crossing without stopping. The taxi driver understood what he was doing and pursued him. He then noticed that the Afghan was trying to drive a cyclist and then a pedestrian.

“When I saw that he is trying to drive people, I drove after him and watch out because I have to pay attention to people on his car. I thought he would hurt or kill someone. I kept following him all the time, hoping people would see him,” he said in interrogation.

Via the com radio, the driver contacts the taxi company, which in turn calls the police….

    I thought to become a martyr, he had to kill himself.

      Just what I was thinking. And no doubt there must be a few veteran muslim kamikaze pilots knocking about somewhere.

        Actually, in English real martyrs neither kill others nor themselves, they are killed or die in suffering because they held to an objective ideal despite persecution by corrupt authorities.

        For cretins who commit murder suicide, the proper word is “shahid”. We should never confuse a degenerate shahid for a principled martyr. We need to all start using the right words.

        In Islam being a “Martyr” means murdering innocent people.

      Swedish pro-Islamist fags recently took three kids from a Russian Christian father and gave them to a muslim family as foster kids! I am sure they intentionally targeted the Russian family because they were Russian and Christian! Finally, the Russian father graped his kids and fled Sweden only to be apprehended in Poland but thank God,
      Polish courts refused to return the kids and their dad to Sweden and gave the kids back to their dad! More of this below:

        Glad Poland gave this man his kids back. Kudos to him for fighting for his family.

    Nice how the quisling Swedish authorities hide his eyes in the photo so people don’t recognize him when he’s back on the street in a few days.

    Mr. Spencer, can you please start using the word “shahid” for describing this garbage? It just seems to be really disparaging and inaccurate to the concept of martyrdom in the West to call a murder suicide fanatic a martyr.

    • Elizabeth says

      Apr 6, 2019 at 5:07 pm

      Tell that to Al Jazeera and so many other Islamist publications that use the word “martyr” to describe suicide-bomber jihadists (who are in reality homicide-bombers).

        The Islamic word play on murder: martyr.

      • gravenimage says

        Apr 7, 2019 at 1:33 am

        Muslims consider the term “Shahid” to be complimentary, as well.

        • Niemoller says

          Apr 7, 2019 at 7:45 am

          Yes, they do, that’s why it’s important to associate shahid with murder suicide, which it is. They don’t like Islam being exposed like that.

    • elee says

      I like the way the English word martyr highlights the very difference between our cultures. When I see the word martyr I think of the accounts of how Christians have died professing faith and begging God to forgive their murderers. Then I realize that we’re discussing Muslims and I know it wasn’t like that at all. Not a bad thing to get reminded about.

        If you look up the dictionary definition of martyr, in no way does it imply killing anyone or committing suicide. It’s definitionally wrong to say a shahid murder-suicider is a martyr.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 7, 2019 at 10:34 pm

          That is how Muslims see it.

  5. Max says

    The Quran orders Muslims to “Embitter their lives for them”. Without a question, however, the bitterest people are Muslims. They hate people laughing and having a good time, they also hate music, dancing, movies and every other type of entertainment. Many of them say that we love to live, while they love to die. So the question is: Why is their allah embittering their lives?

  6. elee says

    Apr 6, 2019 at 10:02 pm

    The fact that they claim to love death as much as we love life is the best argument I can think of against capital punishment.

  7. JM says

    Apr 7, 2019 at 9:19 am

    But Muslims do celebrate and rejoice. Whenever infidels are blown to bits or otherwise die horrible deaths at the hands of the noble shahid. Any infidel will do. The more the merrier. And bonus party favors are distributed for dead Christians, and especially Jews “apes and pigs”.

    That Islam is still considered in the free world as “one of the world’s great religions” is a testament to the monumental deception that is being foisted on citizens by pampered, entitled elites with a clear, destructive agenda to increase their power by any means possible.

    Thankfully, a shift in public attitudes is now underway. Let’s hope it accelerates.

    That Muslim , from Afghanistan who and allow to migrate to Sweden and to repay the Swedes for their kindness by attempting to run over and murder at least ten of them because he was trying to engage in a jihad homicide/suicide Islamic terror attack against people who are not Muslims and thus obtain for himself an Islamic paradise with virgins in it which will continue forever forever exposes that this Muslim is as dangerous and deadly as he is also delusional..

    This specific jihad -minded Muslim in Sweden and likewise other /jihadist Muslim males who are so extremely deluded and irrational because they really believed in the nonsensical , strange and far –fetched doctrine contained in the Koran, of sex-filled paradise with black eye- houris, virgins, in it for the male Muslim who dies as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam fighting in the jihad. As, this bizarre Islamic doctrine of a houris -filled place is found in the Koran in, for example, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31. So this odd and outlandish Koranic doctrine inspired many young Muslims males to commit many horrendous, ruthless, heartless and murderous actions of jihad violence. Those vicious jihadists’ massacres that occurred in Paris was most wicked and hideous. That extreme deadly evil caused by those jihadist/Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the weird and false doctrine from the Koran of such a houris, filled paradise that had the outcome of mass murder and chaos in the city of Paris. This is a strong reminder of the wise statement written by the French philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

    strange how mental illness in islam always presents itself in exactly the same way

    • Walter Sieruk says

      Apr 7, 2019 at 2:11 pm

      To Steve, you do have a valid point in what you keyboarded “mental illness” and Islam. For many times Islam so thoroughly damages the cognition of person who follows it . That a jihadist /Muslim literally becomes dangerous to self and others. As seen in the above top article. Furthermore, Islam has such a mind warping evil influence that a jihad-minded Muslim may actually feel that by engaging in murderous activity ,that he actually thinks that by doing so he is doing an action that is “good.”

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 7, 2019 at 10:37 pm

      True, Steve.

    Why his eyes are covered as if he’s an innocent man or underage?
