This fact will, however, not deter those who will dismiss this act as yet another case of the mental illness that has somehow become rampant among Muslim migrants to Europe.
“‘Every soul will die’: Stuttgart sword murderer posted Islamic creed before the act,” translated from “‘Jede Seele wird sterben’: Stuttgarter Schwertmörder postete vor Tat islamisches Glaubensbekenntnis,” Journalisten Watch, August 5, 2019:
What role did Islam play in the Stuttgart machete murder? Shortly before his madness, the killer Issa Mohammed posted on Facebook a statement of pious allegiance in Arabic. A few hours later, he barbarously slaughtered his former roommate, Wilhelm L., in front of the latter’s daughter – on the street. So far, a “purely private motive” has always been reported.
Several German newspapers and online portals since Thursday in their coverage of the alleged Jordanian Palestinian Issa Mohammed emphasize that the 28-year-old acted “for personal reasons” (“Spiegel Online”) or acted on private grounds. Mohammed had arrived in Germany as an alleged “Syrian refugee” in 2015, and on Wednesday, in the residential district Fasanenhof south of the city of Stuttgart, in the middle of a busy residential area, brutally dismembered a German-Kazakh known to him.
Yesterday screenshots of Muhammad’s Facebook account surfaced on the Internet, which at least left no doubt in a disturbing way to the killer’s fidelity to Allah. “In the name of Allah the Merciful – Every soul will die,” he wrote, and under it, “Belief in Almighty Allah.”
To what extent this post provides information about his mental or psychological state at the time of the crime, whether Muhammad possibly acted out of a religious motivation or at least was in a trance, will still have to be clarified.
The post seems like a self-proclaiming manifesto and at least – along with the chosen mode of killing and the frightening routine that the offender followed – cast doubt on the fact that it was a mere act of a relationship. The choice of words is more reminiscent of an Islamist letter of confession. The entry reveals in any case once again that for devout Muslims, raw violence and Islam are unfortunately not a contradiction. (DM)

This has nothing to do with Islam. After all Islam is a Religion of Peace.

Oh I see, he may have been “in a trance”. Well, that’s a new one !
How ridiculous can the media get in their excuses ? They must view the public with contempt.

Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. . . . But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. . . . Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender [to the enemy]? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.

CRUSADER says
Angemon, does it really say all that in “Holy Terror”?
Angemon says
Yes. if you have Mr. Spencer’s books “Islam Unveiled” or “The Political Incorrect Guide to Islam (And The Crusades)” (and possibly others) you can find those quotes there as well.
CRUSADER says
Well, then, little “eddie” should know this stuff by heart, since he self reportedly has ALL of Robert Spencer’s works!

I think that the German government is obsessed with bringing about an Islamization of Germany and Europe. When this event happened, at first the name and identity of the criminal was not on the news. They want to suppress awareness of this sort of radicalism so that they can continue the mass migration of his fellow-believers. That people in Europe or Germany do not want this seems not to matter to them at all. Too bad, really. But the truth be told this is what they want. They are bending over backwards to submit to their demands in the name of religion. Ironically the CDU has called the AfD anti-Semitic. Well, some of their followers may be that. But the CDU is bringing waves of the greatest Jew-haters into the country. Why are they doing that, if they care about fighting anti-Semitism? And what are they doing against anti-Christianity, Christophobia? Are they ok? Why is a massive migration that brings heightened hatred against the residents of Europe who are Christians, Jews or agnostics? Do haters of these groups have a right to immigrate and receive welfare and social benefits. Do they have a right to propagate an ideology that hates European and Western values?

This migration of Muslims into Europe really is similar to trying to save lions from extinction by introducing them into the European countryside. To make life safe for the people living there you would first have to change the predatory nature of the lions. If you can’t do that you will be forced to accept the fact that sometimes a lion is going to eat somebody and as the number of lions grows, more and more people are going to eaten.
It would be easier to tame a lion than to change the nature of Islam. As far as lions go, I would keep them in an isolated place in Africa where they could thrive but not be likely to eat people.

I know somebody like lebel or Rod is going to say, “So what about the shootings in the U.S?” Well, those killers are like wild animals too and should be treated accordingly. Both God’s law and man’s laws prohibit murder. And what wimpy looking excuses for men those shooters appear to be — the craven cowards. Did they just all of a sudden become that way or did it take years to achieve?

“Explosive growth rate of Islam was spread by the sword…and expansive growth in modern times is due to the plowshare of professed peace…. increasingly difficult to sell due to historically aggressive texts within the Qur’an which speak of intolerance, violence, subjugation, and ultimate domination…”

Who is it among Islamic groups exactly I wonder, who use a “plowshare of professed peace” to grow Islam when I witness the same old agressive jihadist practices in African countries, in Myanmar (before the Rohingyas cried “poor us!”), and across Europe as they exact a daily toll of terror? I laugh bitterly as I read such blather from Islamic apologists.

Mental illness is spread equally by population among all ethnicities/races/religions/cultures, so why would this behavior not be spread equally among them if it were the result of mental illness? It would seem mental illness is not the operative, or at least sole or prevailing, variable accounting for this behavior. At some point the governments’ insulting the public’s capacity for common sense will be reciprocating with elections.
