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

Sri Lanka Muslim Terrorists Used Farm for Terror Training

May 6, 2019 3:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

The Muslim terrorists who murdered hundreds of Christians in Sri Lanka prepped for their murderous rampage on a farm with goats and chickens.

There are obvious similarities here to the terrorist training compound in New Mexico.

The objective is to find a place that’s out of the way where the Islamic activists can practice their skills and prepare for an attack. How many places like this exist across America?

Sri Lankan police on Sunday discovered a 10-acre camp in the eastern town of Kattankudy, where Islamist militants linked to the deadly Easter attacks are believed to have practiced shooting and bombmaking.

The walled terrain is nestled in a poor residential area on the outskirts of the home town of Zahran Hashim, who is believed to have been a key player in plotting the April 21 attacks. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the church and hotel bombings that killed more than 250 people.

The narrow, sandy plot is dotted with a cinderblock four-storey watchtower, as well as mango trees, a chicken coop and a goat shed.

“They wanted to show this place was normal. If someone comes to see, it looks like a farm. But what they were doing is terrorism,” said a senior police officer in the Batticaloa area, asking to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to media.

And the police failed to act until it was too late.

    Quote: “And the police failed to act until it was too late.” So did the police not see a four-story WATCHTOWER? Was that not SUSPICIOUS ENOUGH for an investigation? Most ‘farms’ don’t have a four-story watchtower.

    See photos:

    (Please disperse, folks! Nothing to see here! Move along.)

    Were the police bribed to notice nothing?

    Quite the photo. Rather says it all in capsulated form.

    So often the religious tyranny which is Islam gives itself away quite easily—in photos (as above), in all the ways of deception authorized by Mo’s creed, in its own 1400-year history, in its religious texts and led “first” here by the worst holy book of all time, i.e., the Koran. And in sundry other ways.

    You’d think by now most everyone would be wise to the iniquity which is Islam. Alas, this is not the case. Not even close. Thus, the nonsense that Islam is to be a respected religion continues.

    Deadly mistake. Many times over. Count on it.

      You would think that the doctrine of murdering those who don’t believe the Islamic religion would make the rest of the world pause for a moment.
      But apparently it does not. All people want to do is sweep these doctrines under the carpet, or explain them away..
      The outlook does not look good for the rest of the world, but it looks good for Islam.

      So the Sri Lankan police “discovered” an Islamic Training Camp where terrorists were thought to be training for the massive attack on innocent people for no reason other than they weren’t muslims? Well son-of-a-gun! So, what do you suppose is going on at the KNOWN 35 ISLAMIC “TRAINING CAMPS” right HERE in the USA? (Neighbors have reported hearing LOTS of gunfire, but the “authorities” said they can’t just go in on private property where people are shooting guns unless they have a legal warrant. So, in 35 KNOWN Islamic “TRAINING CAMPS” the beat goes on. Any guesses as to just WHAT they’re TRAINING FOR? Anybody?

        I will hazard a guess: they are training for a militant jihad operation resulting in the mass murder of civilians … ‘in the cause of Allah’.

    Islam certainly is in a category of its own human making.

    …………………

    Muslims have these terror training compounds all over the world–including in the US.

    Police often have “other” things on their mind….

    They should confiscate the land, sell it and give the proceeds to the families of the murdered Christians.

      +1. I keep saying this, doesn’t anybody think all these firing ranges &c &c &c constitute aiding and abetting?

    Another Islamic TRUISM from the annals of the infidel:

    At 1% population, Muslim is just about full human outside (of course he is full animal inside). He will act very friendly to U and even take Mandir Prasad and act very patriotic. but will abuse U and Ur religion in his mosque and in front of his children in the privacy of his home.. At 5%, Muslim become one fourth animal on the outside and loses fear of the laws of the land and demands halaal and other Muslim things like right to pray even during exams. At 10-15%, Muslim becomes half animal outside and loses complete fear of police (this is the situation in India today). Now he fears only the non Muslim army. At about 25%, Muslim becomes three-fourth animal on the outside and starts challenging the army and throwing stones, but still some fear is there (see Kashmir). At about 33%, Muslim becomes full animal on the outside and even loses fear of army and start openly rioting and cutting and killing and bombing on the streets and does Ghazwa…This is the pattern that has been going repeatedly for the past 1400 years.

      Fairly accurate summary there of the “phase-shift” that occurs as and when the Muslim population in any given neighbourhood, suburb, province, nation-state or region gets large enough to feel itself powerful (though the point at which they shift from one level of aggression to another, can vary depending on just how accommodating the surrounding infidel population is, in any given place; thus, I would suspect that the levels of Muslim aggressiveness vary from place to place *within* India, depending on the *local* percentages and also on the degree of resistance displayed by local Infidels and local infidel law-enforcement; just as here in Australia, overall the Muslim percentage is about 2 percent and they are still lying relatively low, smiling insincerely and spouting flowery nothings in public [and sneakily dangling the Muslim ‘vote-bank’ in front of gullible / corruptible politicians and businesspeople]; whereas in a few suburbs of Sydney they have attained an absolute majority and there they are much more aggressive.. though not as dangerous, yet, I think, as some of the most heavily-Islamised parts of certain European cities).

      In 2012 it was estimated that 9.7 percent of the Sri Lankan population was Muslim (most of these being the so-called “Sri Lankan Moors” who were 9.2 percent of the population), 7.4 percent were Christians (mostly Catholic; and one may note that all the reporting on the ghastly mass-murders of Christians – in their churches – by Muslims, has tended to avoid the fact that the Muslims are a *larger* presence in Sri Lanka than Christians, and that the attackers were filthy-rich whereas the victims were mostly poor or very poor… *that* got ignored, because it rather messed up the nice “Muslims as victims reacting to oppression” narrative that everyone likes to push), 70 percent Buddhist and about 13 percent Hindus. So by the sliding scale you’ve given, the Muslims in Sri Lanka are just on the edge of the “Half-animal” stage.

      In Israel, the population is 75 percent Jewish and 17 percent Muslim. Given that nearly all Muslims in Israel are ethnically Arab, and the “Arab” population is given as 20 percent, while the *Christians* are 2 percent of the population and the Druze 1 percent, that indicates that the 20 percent ‘Arab” breaks down into 17 percent Muslim Arab, 2 percent Christian Arab, and 1 percent Druze.

      So far as I can tell from the Israeli English-language news outlets, the Muslims within Israel oscillate between the stage you describe as happening at 10-15 percent, and the stage you describe as happening at about 25 percent – “At 10-15%, Muslim becomes half-animal outside and loses complete fear of police (this is the situation in India today). Now he fears only the non-Muslim army. At about 25%, Muslim becomes three-fourth animal on the outside and starts challenging the army and throwing stones, but still some fear is there..”.

      By the way – have you heard of an ex-Muslim called Sam Solomon? He has written two *very* useful little books – one called “The Mosque and Its Role in Society” and the other called “Al-Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”. Essentially it’s about the way Muslims use ‘demographic swamping’, infiltration and subversion to take over communities, regions, whole nations, if they can’t do it by open full-frontal assault. You should read it and then give a copy to PM Modi and to any other non-Muslim politicians in India who show signs of a healthy distrust of Islam and Muslims. Do you have any blokes in your *army* who are aware of the nature of Islam? If so, give *them* a copy.

      These two books – or at least substantial excerpts, easy enough to identify which portions – would bear translation into the major regional languages of India, so that they can be comfortably read and understood by more people. Or even just summarise them or pick out key passages for circulation quietly in pamphlet form. Because they set out the fact that the whole Islamic move-in-and-take-over tactic is conscious and codified; it’s not “accidental”.
