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

Switzerland: Man converts to Islam, is “radicalized” at mosque, now known as “the most dangerous Swiss jihadist”

Jul 22, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Born into a Catholic family, he turned to Islam after failing to complete his education. It is believed that he was radicalized at the Petit-Saconnex mosque in Geneva.”

Has that mosque been investigated? Shut down? If not, why not?

“Switzerland’s ‘most dangerous jihadist’ captured in Syria,” SwissInfo, July 21, 2019:

The Geneva native turned Islamic State fighter was captured last month by the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the eastern Syrian town of Al-Baghuz.

Daniel D., as the 24-year-old is referred to by the Swiss press, is the only Swiss jihadist on an Interpol list of 173 names, all members of the Islamic State’s “martyr brigade”. Trained to carry out terrorist attacks Daniel D. is better known by his alias Abu Ilias al-Swissri. Alongside the Aargau-origin Thomas C., who is probably no longer alive, counter-terrorism experts classify Daniel D. as “the most dangerous Swiss jihadist”….

Born into a Catholic family, he turned to Islam after failing to complete his education. It is believed that he was radicalized at the Petit-Saconnex mosque in Geneva.

        The Truth is most of the young people in the West today, like this convert to islam in the story above, are bored in the materialistic, superficial life that exists in the Western world and they are seeking to find some deeper meaning in life. Unfortunately, Christian churches in the West that could have been the answer for this deep spiritual and philosophical needs but most of these “churches” themselves are secularized, morally compromised and are spiritually bankrupt.

        In the Eastern Orthodox countries, Christianity is deeper, more spiritual, more mystical and allow profound spiritual and philosophical reflections whereas in the Western Christianity both (Catholics & Protestants) God is confined in a tiny rational secular box and Christianity is limited to attending churches on Sundays etc.There are no meaningful spiritual monasteries in the Western world and the few that exists are themselves secularized with computer games and have NO deeper theosis spiritual/philosophical dimensions to them! There are No ascetics in the West, No monastics, No mystics, No Holy seekers of God who move among the masses with their Crosses, icons and relics. There is HUGE spiritual bankruptcy in the West and until these problems are addressed millions of young people in the West, will either keep converting to the islamic death cult and become homicidal jihadists or try to fill the empty void in their hearts with drugs, sex, satanism, sexual perversions, opoiods, narcotics, violent gangsterism, medications other moral perversions.

          The image of Christ in piss was an ‘art work’ by a newyork museum several years ago and the narrator in the video is referring to it to show how the West despises and insults Christianity. For the beauty and the spirituality of the Orthodoxy watch the longest procession of the Cross in the world on the link below:

          “The Truth is ”

          The truth is that you’ve never followed the words “the truth is” with anything truthful…

          “In the Eastern Orthodox countries, Christianity is deeper, more spiritual, more mystical and allow profound spiritual and philosophical reflections ”

          Yes, I can see the result of these “profound spiritual and philosophical reflections” in your precious little Russia – a nation rife with drug abuse, prostitution, crime and where domestic violence is not a crime. If my memory doesn’t fail me, you denied the existence of marital rape – I seem to remember you calling it “an invention of Western feminists”… And, of course, let’s not forget how your “profound spiritual and philosophical reflections” mean that persecuted Christians in Iran can eat s*** and die for all you care – when that topic is featured in an article, you spend your time there defending their persecutors…

          Watch the longest procession of the Cross anywhere in the world in the video above and observe the simplicity, the faith, the spirituality and the chastity of the believers in this holy procession and compare that with secular materialistic mentality and the atheistic and the spiritually bankrupted attitudes of the Western societies which are deeply hostile to God and to the things of God! If you watch the video with an open heart you will learn something good!

          PS: Again, I am NOT Russian!

        • Angemon says

          Jul 24, 2019 at 4:32 pm

          “Angemon

          Watch the longest procession of the Cross anywhere in the world in the video above and observe the simplicity, the faith, the spirituality and the chastity of the believers in this holy procession”

          Or I could just see how your precious little Russia is faring under Orthodox Christianity:

          https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2016/08/05/if-he-beats-you-it-means-he-loves-you-a54866

          Tatyana’s (not her real name) stepfather started small.

          At first, he’d get annoyed by things she did. He criticized and he lectured her. Later, the lectures would stop, and this is when the outrage began. And when the outrage stopped, the spanking and face-slaps started.

          “He just went mad,” Tatyana says. “For five years, he beat me and my mother senseless.”

          Tatyana’s story is far from unique. Every year, tens of thousands of Russian women and children suffer every possible kind of familial abuse — be it battery, rape, or even attempted murder. Years after escaping with her mother, Tatyana, now 29, says domestic violence must be tackled and punished before it gets out of control.

          (…)

          According to official Russian government statistics that undoubtedly under-report the situation, a massive 40 percent of all violent crimes are committed within the family. This correlates to 36,000 women being beaten by their partners every day and 26,000 children being assaulted by their parents every year.

          Larisa Ponarina, deputy director of the Anna Center, an NGO helping victims of domestic violence, suggests that more than 14,000 women die every year as a result of domestic abuse.

          She does not believe the situation is improving.

          (…)

          “Traditional, or rather archaic values have become popular again,” says Alyona Popova, activist and women’s rights advocate. High-profile stories of abuse — movie stars beating their wives into a coma, female journalists posting pictures of bruised faces after fighting with their significant others— have done little to change the situation. Indeed, commentators — both male and female — have even intimated that the victims “most probably provoked” incidents, “were asking for it with frivolous behavior,” or “knew who they were marrying and should have known better.”

          “Women aren’t supposed to be able to do and achieve things on their own,” says Popova. “Society tells women to get married in order to let their husbands decide things for them. If a man beats you, it is because he is stronger and has the right to beat you, and you should consider yourself lucky to be married in the first place.”

          It Runs in the History

          “If he beats you, it means he loves you,” as one famous Russian saying has it. According to some studies, the phrase first appeared in the late 16th century, after a book called “Domostroy” (“Household”) was published. This book, a guide for families, carried a strong Orthodox Christian message. It outlined women’s obedience as the key to a strong, lasting family, and described corporal punishment — for women and children — as a “mere blessing” that can help “avoid death of the soul.”

          (…)

          When it comes to child abuse, the same logic works, says Anna Mezhova, head of Saving Life, a foundation that deals with violence against children. “When a child is being regularly beaten up or sexually assaulted by his father, the mother often covers it up, thinking that there is no need to air the dirty laundry in public,” says Mezhova. “But the behavior makes it almost impossible to protect the child.”

          Blaming the victim is another major trend that allows abusers to get away scot-free and often lands victims behind bars, says activist Popova. Dozens of women end up standing trial for actively defending themselves during a fight. “Imagine: the husband was beating her up aggressively, she tried to defend herself and injured him. She stands trial for it now, whereas her lawsuit against him was dismissed! The judge did it on the grounds that the woman failed to show up for a hearing — which she, in fact, was just 15 minutes late for,” Popova says.

          Oh my – your Church condones wife-beating -. No wonder you get along so well with jihadis… In any case, shall we compare those numbers with the “secular materialistic mentality and the atheistic and the spiritually bankrupted attitudes of the Western societies which are deeply hostile to God and to the things of God“? Your precious little Russia is, arguably, a worse place to be a woman than Iran or Saudi Arabia. Kudos to you – that’s not an easy achievement…

          “PS: Again, I am NOT Russian!”

          What did you say when I told you, for the Nth time, I was not an American? That it made no difference to you, right? In any case, that even brings up more questions – didn’t you posted videos of “patriotic russian songs”?

          I see that christianblood is championing marital rape here again–he has also applauded wife beating, and said that women have no right to go to the police or the courts, but have to protect their abusers.

          Similarly, he has also refused to condemn “Honor Killings” in Chechnya.

          Graven, you are lying again! I never aplauded wife beating or honor-klling ever in my life and I would never such evil practices ever in my life and I utterly condemn such vile acts! Why are you lying this Graven?

          However, I believe there is NO such thing as “marital rape” which is another invention by cultural marxist Western feminists!

          BTW, it is not me but Angemon who raised the issue of marital rape in this thread and you can see him/her condemning me for not believing the liberal lies of marital rape in his/her comment above! Can’t believe such a degenerate lie!

          Jul 24, 2019 at 4:36 pm

          “BTW, it is not me but Angemon who raised the issue of marital rape in this thread”

          I pointed out your stance on marital rape – and I was right. I also pointed out your indifference to the persecution of Christians in Iran – funny how you avoid that topic like the plague…

        • Angemon says

          Jul 24, 2019 at 4:44 pm

          “Graven, you are lying again! I never aplauded wife beating or honor-klling ever in my life and I would never such evil practices ever in my life”

          Hmmm, I wonder, in CB’s world view, what happens when a wife refuses to satisfy her husband and he forces himself on her. Beating a woman into sexual submission is not rape, according to him, so how would that be treated under his guidance? That the husband simply decided to beat his wife for no reasonwhatsoever?

          In any case, CB, you havve a stellar opportunity here. Just say something along the lines of “I denounce barbaric, retrograde cultures “where women are discriminated against with the backing of the legal system, as well as engrained cultural norms, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia or Russia”. I bet you wont – I bet that, despite your claim that you never applauded wife-beating, you can’t denounce countries where that’s the norm…

          christianblood did indeed say that women have no right to go to the police or the courts, but are morally obligated to protect their abusers. Will he change his stance now?

          And he has refused to condemn Kadyrov’s support of Honor Killings. Will he condemn Kadyrov now? Don’t hold your breath…

    Hassan (“Hassan-Chop Banana) Al-Banna,
    was born and raised in Switzerland…
    educated at the University of Geneva…

    No doubt the influential and wealthy muzzies there
    have spread their Suisse Franks around to fund
    the spread of islamist dread….

    Of course he converted to the religion of antiChrist..since he failed as a catholic, in his understanding of christianity and in his education:islam was obviously the next step.

    islam is for the stupid,the ignorant,the theologically challenged,the losers and the haters.

    islam gives PERMISSION to violate God’s commandments.
    No wonder it attracts evil and idiotic converts.

    The koran violates BOTH of the 2 chief commandments:firstly,its immoral commandment-violating teachings are promoted by allah{this is contrary to the First Chief Commandment which insists God’s laws are obeyed}

    Secondly,the koran preaches hatred of neighbor{al walaa wal baraa and k5:51 “take not the Jews and Christians for friends”}alongside this muslim versus infidel attitude whereby the muslims are superior to everybody else.

    A ‘holy’ book that pretends to be from God but that COMPLETELY MISSED the 2 chief laws of God!

    Al Lah:the pagan Arab god of islam{“the BEST OF DECEIVERS” k3;54}
    Al Lah the diabolus simius Dei.
    Al Lah the god of antiChrist{his greatest enemy is Malik AL Amlak..”the king of kings” see revs 19:16}
    Al Lah the false god of islam with his self-confessed false prophet muhammed {al tabari 6;111}{allah prays for him} and its plagiarized commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran
