UK tourists “visiting Spain for their summer holidays have been warned” that the jihad terror “threat level has been raised to ‘severe,'” and the cost to keep tourists safe has skyrocketed. 40,000 extra police personnel will be deployed to secure the tourist hotspots. The alert follows threats by Islamic State supporters, who vowed revenge over the death of British Islamic State recruiter Sally Jones.
The UK Foreign Office has warned terrorists are “likely” to try to carry out attacks in Spain. “Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners,” the warning on the website reads.
Wars need to be approached like wars, but most infidel countries remain passive, still unable to accept the nature of the jihad war to conquer infidel nations. Infiltration by jihadist combatants who are running around freely among innocent citizens are widely ignored. While citizens are in danger, their hard-earned money is being spent on increasingly essential security services. The more jihadists are appeased, the stronger they become.
“HOLS TERROR ALERT Scots tourists warned as Spain terror threat raised to ‘SEVERE’ with 40,000 extra cops deployed,” by Jenny Awford, The Scottish Sun, June 16, 2019:
SCOTS and other UK tourists visiting Spain for their summer holidays have been warned the terror threat level has been raised to “severe”.
The alert was issued after ISIS supporters threatened to attack Spanish tourist towns in revenge for the death of British ISIS recruiter Sally Jones.
The Daily Star Online reported that up to 40,000 more Spanish cops will be deployed to tourist hotspots in the popular holiday destination.
Police will stand guard outside stations, hotels, beaches and restaurants to provide extra protection amid the threats from ISIS.
This forms part of Operation Summer, which aims to “take full action to obtain information in order to prevent terrorist acts”
Police have raised the terror threat level to four out of five, with the higher number being the most severe.
The UK Foreign Office has warned terrorists are “likely” to try to carry out attacks in Spain.
“Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners,” the warning on the website reads.
“The Spanish authorities take measures to protect visitors, but you should be vigilant and follow the instructions of the local authorities.
“There’s a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.
“You should be vigilant at this time.”
Britain also warned about the possibility of “large gatherings” in the Catalan capital of Barcelona due to the ongoing push by separatists to break away from the rest of Spain.
While these demonstrations in the past have largely been peaceful odd pockets of violence have broken out mainly due to counter demonstrations with ultra-nationalists.
BARCELONA TERROR ATTACK
Barcelona was targeted by terrorists in August 2017 when a van deliberately drove into crowds on tourist hotspot Las Ramblas, killing 14 and injuring around 100 others.
Five suspects were shot dead by police in Cambrils after the group rammed an Audi A3 into people on the seafront, killing one and injuring six.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks by the jihadi gang.
And now supporters of the terror group have threatened more attacks in the country, with Barcelona and Madrid named as targets.
The terrifying threats surfaced earlier this month in a 33-minute pro-Islamic State video was uncovered by the Middle East research group MEMRI
The video was found on file-sharing platform Telegram and released by ISIS propaganda outlet Muntasir Media.
The film, entitled Behind the Mask, purports to “reveal the real face of the west”, screengrabs from the video claim.
ATTACKS ON TOURIST TOWNS
The final three minutes of the clip allege to threaten attacks in Barcelona or Madrid.
Such attacks would be similar to those perpetrated in Paris in November of 2015 and are said to be in revenge of the death of ISIS recruiter Sally Jones….

It seems that Spaniards have forgotten the first time Muslims invaded Spain (711-1492) … it didn’t work out well for the Spaniards who were ethnically cleansed from the entire area of southern Spain, their glorious architecture and art and literature destroyed, generations of Spaniards tortured, enslaved and raped. Enough. No Muslims ever in Spain. Islam is a destroyer of every good impulse of civilization and the extinguisher of thought and progress. Spain was set back an entire millennium (at least) because of the time it took for Spain to recover from the traumatic experience of Islamic supremacism.
Savvy Kafir says
Agreed. There should be no Muslims in Spain — or anywhere else in the civilized world. And if the general public understood the true nature of Islam, the objectives of its True Believers, and the effect Islam invariably has upon societies, there would be NO Muslims in the West. I just hope I live to see that day.
Paul J says
The idiots in the West who make excuses for muslims with the old line that “not all muslims are bad and you can’t blame them all for the actions of a few” seem to forget that not all Germans were Nazis (many forced to join just to live and work) yet that didn’t stop the Allies from fighting Nazism and from bombing Dresden and Berlin. Islam is a greater threat to humanity than Hitler ever was and has been for 14 centuries. Still this idiotic belief persists that if we are “nice” to them most will be nice back. Fundamental islam is not nice and never will be. Islam needs to be hit as hard as our Grandfather’s hit Hitler. The sooner we remove women from positions of authority with regards to National Security the sooner that may happen. You can’t “mother” muslims like too many women in power seem to think.(Not all GI but too many with political clout). The men may be killed when islam takes over but the stupid women who support islam will have to live with it day after day, rapist after rapist and there will nothing they can do about it; the real men will be dead.The money being spent on security alone could and should be spent on better things than making sure muslims behave themselves.

The reconquista started probably in 722 with the battle of Covandonga. I do not believe our cousins have forgotten their history.

Sadly, Lavéritétriomphera, many of them *have* forgotten it, or they would not be allowing Muslims to flood into Spain.

@gravenimage,
Bonjour,
Maybe, but I’d be curious to know what is the source of your information? The Spanish believe 100 percent they are Europeans, they do not want to be confused with Latin Americans and still less with the Arabs.

CRUSADER says
As the eminent Shelby Steele ascribed to many in the West,
people don’t want to be associated with something nasty
and so will distance themselves, and do whatever it takes to
retain a self sense of “innocence”. Akin to the lessons from
“Jihadist Psychopath” there is the notion which explains much:
people will ignore most anything if they can make it seem that
it will make the boogy man go away….
Problem is, in Western democracies, the notion of forever warfare
is not palatable. So, war fatigue will set it. Westerners still don’t
understand their own history when it comes to constant war against
Islam’s incursions….
Jule Bacal says
Why is anyone trying so hard not to offend Islam when they are going to riot and kill no matter WHAT. It is the nature of Islam taught in the Qur’an. Its stated in page after page..like “fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is impossible that you dislike a thing that is good for you, and love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows and you know not.” (Heifer 216) & “fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor the Last Day. nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger…” and on and on & people who read it, memorize it, gives sermons about it all say ‘
fight’ (and not meaning fight the impulses in oneself, but everyone else who rejects “the Truth” as described in that book. They will fight whether people insult them or not if you do not take up the Qur’an. So why even care about “Islamophobia” They are going to fight because they are told they must believe and never put love of life or peace on earth over fighting for Allah as described in their book. Not the Allah as described by the wicked West, but the Allah in their book.
CRUSADER says
Sally Jones had fangs….
Then there is this one:
Samantha Louise Lewthwaite — also known as Sherafiyah Lewthwaite or the White Widow… is a British woman who is one of the Western world’s most wanted terrorism suspects. Lewthwaite, the widow of 7/7 London terrorist bomber Germaine Lindsay, is accused of causing the deaths of more than 400 people.She is a fugitive from justice in Kenya, where she was wanted on charges of possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony and is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice requesting her arrest with a view to extradition.
Lewthwaite was an alleged member of the Somalia-based radical Islamic militant group Al-Shabaab. She was accused of orchestrating grenade attacks at non-Muslim places of worship, and is believed to have been behind an attack on those watching football in a bar in Mombasa during Euro 2012. In September 2013, there was speculation over her possible involvement in the Westgate shopping mall attack, although other reports cast doubt on this, or said her role had been exaggerated. She was dubbed the “White Widow” by the news media, a play on words referencing her race, the death of her first husband and the practice of referring to Chechen female suicide bombers as “black widows”.
Beware of the black death from white widows….
CRUSADER says
Sally Jones converted to Islam …claiming, in social media exchanges with Sunday Times journalist Dipesh Gadher, that the Iraq War had converted her (around May 2013), to the ISIS cause. Together with Junaid Hussain, she recruited and propagandised for ISIS. Jones travelled to Syria with her younger son in late 2013 to join Hussain, originally from Birmingham, who soon became her husband.
Hussain was killed by a U.S. drone strike on 25 August 2015, and was formerly in charge of recruiting new hackers to ISIS. After Hussain’s death, Jones commented that her husband was killed by “the greatest enemy of Allah”. He was “a good role model for my children”, Jones told Dipesh Gadher. The following month, Jones was one of four Britons placed on the UN’s most wanted list at the request of the British prime minister David Cameron. It was, believed to be the first time any country had placed its own nationals on a list of ISIS operatives. Responding on Twitter, Jones said she would continue to fight “England…until my last breath”.
Jones’s activity online was consistent with her role as leader of the secret Anwar al-Awlaki battalion’s female wing. In this role, Jones was responsible for training all European female recruits, or muhajirat, in the use of weapons and tactics. These muhajirat were then trained and instructed to carry out suicide missions in the West, according to leaked ISIS documents. Despite some reports, according to Kim Sengupta in The Independent, there is no proof of her leading all-female groups of ISIS members into battle.
According to the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), Jones used Twitter to propagandise for ISIS. She is believed to have recruited hundreds of British women to work for ISIS, and in 2016 called on female sympathisers in Britain to make terrorist strikes in London, Glasgow, and Wales during Ramadan. American court documents made available in spring 2017 linked Jones and her husband to at least a dozen ISIS plots, but many of these either did not take place or were stopped. She was involved in publishing online three lists of US military personnel intended as potential targets for jihadists. By this time, the American military reportedly considered her a “high priority” for assassination.
In October 2017, the Daily Mirror reported that Jones had been killed in an American drone strike in June 2017, along with her 12-year-old son JoJo, having last been seen fleeing from a drone strike in Raqqa, but this has not been fully confirmed. According to Shiraz Maher, Jones is the first woman to be directly targeted in an airstrike, and one of only two women considered at the time by the American state department as a foreign terrorist combatant.
Jones had decided to raise her younger son, JoJo, as an ISIS child soldier. Her former partner in August 2016 said their son had participated in a video in which JoJo, along with four other boys, had shot five Kurdish hostages in the back of the head. Jones issued a statement saying it was not her son.
Jones and her husband regularly used their son as a human shield to prevent being targeted by drone attacks. The legal case for JoJo’s and his mother’s killing is contested because his young age still means he would be classified as a “non-combatant”. According to guidance from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Jones may not be considered a member of ISIS (she would be a legitimate target if she was), because she did not carry out a “continuous combat function”.
Amnesty International said the killing of Jones and her son was of “questionable legality”.
An older son, aged 20, remained in the UK. JoJo’s reported death was disputed in November 2017 by Syrian sources. However, in January 2018, Dipesh Gadher of The Sunday Times wrote of an “informed source” who had told him “it’s 99.9% certain that they were both killed”; the small doubt remains because of the difficulty of retrieving DNA samples from war zones.
A member of the “The Beatles” terrorist group, Alexanda Kotey, said on ITV News in late May 2019 that Jones and her son were killed in a building which was shelled on 25 May 2017, a few days after the Manchester Arena bombing.
Walter Sieruk says
In Spain the terror of the jihad has become worse and worse . Of course much ,but all , of this is the result of some much Muslim immigration into that country.
It was wise to raise the terror alert and back the alert up with additional police . For the main purpose of any good government is to protect the lives ,safety and security of its citizens.
This all leads to the idea that its very important and necessary to understand the definition of the word “Terrorism.”
One of the definitions of Terrorism is that terrorism is “The use of violence for the achievement of political ends which is common to state and non- state groups.”
Therefore, Islam with its Islamic terrorism actually fits within this definition. As difficult and hard as this might be for some Westerners, especially Americans, to comprehend and understand. For example, many Americans do strongly understand the concept of the “separation of religion and state.”
For Islam is a religious/ political /Sharia law based system that had total and complete control over the thoughts values , lives , behavior of millions of people around the world. This also included the use of violence to achieve the advancement of the power of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Quran does strangely instructs, as in Surah 2:191, 5:33. 9:5, 111, 47:4.
So the above definition of “non- state group” describes ISIS al Qaeda, Boko Haram , Al Shabaab, etc.
For the definition of “state” terrorism the rough state of Iran serve as good example , is i his Islamic terrors it inflects on the Iranian people though is violent ruffians gangs of Islamic state “police” who are called the “Revolutionary Guards.”
Furthermore , the state “mullah regime “ of Iran also funds ,supports and use in violent and murderous Muslim stooge jihad groups and Hezbollah and Hamas to achieve its religious /political agenda . So indeed Islam is political and with its violence fits the above definition.
Islam is in essence, a religious /political Sharia law based system. As so well explained in brief way, by the Muslim tyrant who and ruled Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini when he stated that “All Islam is politics.” [1]

Not only Spain but all of western Europe should raise their threat to severe. With all the culture enrichers roaming around it is only a matter of time
Walter Sieruk says
In the nation of Spain the jihad terror threat alert has now been raised to severe and likes more police have to added to counter the possible harm that might be done by Muslim terrorists..
Muslim migrants who have entered the different nations of Europe, as Spain, and commit Terrorists actions of the most murderous sort .For example those Muslim/jihadist train bombing/murders which had occurred in Madrid. This is wicked enough .S till this jihad affront also reveals the jihad minded Islamic contempt .violence and reproach towards the people of the Spain as well as Muslim malice toward the people of all other Western nations who were kind yet foolish enough to allow them, those Muslim migrants to enter, invade, their home countries of Europe in the first place. This type of situation is reflected in the Bible .Which reads “When the wicked comes, contempt comes also; with dishonor comes reproach.” Proverbs 18:3. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, those jihadist Muslims with their Islamic way of thinking by their well thought Islamic schemes for the action of involvement in their violent and sheath jihad for the advancement of Islam in the many different Western nations. Those sly scheming jihadists are, somewhat, of a reminder of the information reveled in the Bible in Proverbs 15:26. In which the reader is informed that even “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord…”

David Grisez says
We keep seeing examples of what happens when large numbers of Muslims immigrate to any non Muslim nation. The patterns are always the same. At a very low percentage of the population, Muslims are generally peaceful. But as their numbers increase a percentage of the Muslim population become violent, because they see it as their duty to change the non Muslim nation into an Islamic Nation governed by Islamic Sharia Law.
Savvy Kafir says
Terrorist attacks in the West would be virtually non-existent if there were no Muslims in Western countries. There would be no such thing as terror threat alerts, or airline security issues, etc. And everyone knows it — even those who insist they don’t know it. If common sense were more common, that fact alone would be reason enough to rid the West of Muslims. And terrorism is the least of our worries, where Islam is concerned. The Demographic Jihad and Stealth Jihad are FAR more troubling.

wonder because if not it is bound to be repeated ?

@Marigold
Thankfully yes, Don Pelayo is still, even today, considered a national hero, as is El Cid Campeador… also the scars of Moorish occupation exist in so many towns and cities all over Spain, making the history very much a part of daily life..
Happily too, the lefty educational trends, which have enabled the Muslim invaders in so much of Northern Europe,never really caught on here and national pride is strong amongst all but a few younger soy-millennials.
One more factor which helps to prevent the rise of the Muslim population in Spain is the fact that our system of welfare benefits is not nearly so generous as that of other European countries, so although many immigrants arrive on the coasts, few actually stay for very long, preferring France, Belgium and all points north…
Then there’s the abundance of porcine products and viniculture 😉
One feels much safer in Madrid than London, Paris or Brussels – no temping fate though, the annual influx of tourists could well bring with it unwelcome actors…
Fingers crossed

Once Europe reaches 10% Muslim, it is over.
Against gutless, amoral and nihilistic Europeans, 10% Muslim is more than enough to take down the entire civilization.
While the Europeans dance in the streets like they did in 1914 and 1939.

KIck out the Muslims and you won’t have to worry about it. It’s not like they’re making a positive contribution to Spanish society.

Well, who didn’t see this coming? The Socialist government of Spain couldn’t wait to bring in the Middle Easterners rejected by Italy.
Spain didn’t learn its lesson after the attack in Barcelona.
All this is predictable! The Socialist government of Spain bears full responsibility for anything that happens to tourists or Spaniards.
