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

France: Man who rammed his car into mosque turns out to be a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar”

Sep 25, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

5 Pillars reports that the driver of the car screamed “Allahu akbar,” a telling detail that is predictably absent from other coverage of this incident. The driver’s repeated screaming of “Allahu akbar” makes it highly likely that he is a Muslim who attacked the mosque because he belongs to a different sect or for some reason believes it to be un-Islamic. It is remotely possible that the driver was a non-Muslim who was screaming “Allahu akbar” ironically or as some kind of taunt, but the possibility of this is reduced in light of the fact that 5 Pillars is a Muslim site that whines about having lost revenue “due to the unfortunate reality of covering Muslim-related news in a heightened Islamophobic environment.” That in itself strains credulity, but the point is that 5 Pillars would have every interest in reporting on this attack on a mosque as an “Islamophobic” incident if it had actually been one.

Again with dreary predictability, authorities are saying that the driver has “psychiatric problems.”

“Man rams car into French mosque,” 5Pillars, September 23, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Worshippers at a mosque in eastern France have said carnage was narrowly averted after a man deliberately drove his car into the masjid shortly before maghrib prayers on Saturday evening.

The man, 39, rammed into the Grand Mosque of Colmar without causing casualties or injuries, except to himself. He is currently in hospital and his motives remain unknown.

Authorities said that around 7.10 pm on Saturday the driver deliberately crashed into the gate of the mosque enclosure, and then the double door of the prayer room. He then got out of his car but “was quickly neutralised” by people coming to the mosque.

The prosecutor of Colmar said: “He was partly covered with blood on the upper part of the white tunic he wore” and “a bloody knife was found on the scene of the arrest.” The prosecutor added that several witnesses heard him say “Allah Akbar” many times….

Officials say that he has not yet been evaluated by a psychiatrist but at first glance he seemed to have psychiatric problems.

“We were very lucky, a quarter of an hour away, it could have been a carnage,” because about 60 people had to arrive for the prayer, explained Naji-Said Darir, former President of the Grand Mosque of Colmar.

The Regional Council of the Muslim Faith of Alsace issued a statement which said they “condemn with the strongest firmness this unspeakable act against a place of worship…”

    Tough call which is worse—the burden to mankind which is Islam or the foolishness of non-Muslims who keep exculpating Islam no matter what. I think it’s the latter.

      Flip a coin. Both Mohammedans and Leftists treat critical thought as the enemy.

      Wellington,

      Good question.

      One thing is for sure, Islam could not take hold in the West if the non-Muslim leftist/Marxist/globalists stopped covering for them at every opportunity.

      I call it “evil synergism”…

      Wellington,

      I believe that there is nothing more evil than islam. However, if there were no non moslims covering for the evil actions of moslims, there would be fewer victims of this scourge on mankind.

      A cyanide pill is deadly, but if everyone admits it is so, then no one takes the poison. Many non moslims are advising the rest of us to swallow it whole.

    “Allahu Akbar” (meaning: Allah is greater than other Arabian gods and goddesses such as Allat-Venus) was Mohammed’s official war-cry. All Muslims know that. It is like ‘Sieg Heil’ for Nazis.

    In June 628, Muhammad led a Muslim army against the Jewish community of Khaybar. Muhammad told his warriors, “You will not go out with me unless you desire jihad. As for plunder, there will be none.” The battle cry of the Muslims was “O victorious one, slay, slay!” As the Muslims attacked, Muhammad called out, “Allahu akbar! Khaybar is destroyed.”

    The main goddess in Arabia was Allat also called Al Kubra (the great one). Her consort was Allah-Hubal.

    Mohammed mocked this divine marriage of “ALLAH WA-KUBRA”(Allah and The Great One Kubra) by declaring ALLAHU AKBAR (Allah is greater than Kubra). That is, Allah overcomes and militarily defeats al-Kubra.

    I wonder if this terrorist was a Shi’ite.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 25, 2019 at 8:24 pm

      Could be–or this could be a Shi’ite Mosque. This Jihadist may also have had a quarrel with the Imam there.

    “Freeland revoking appointment of Syrian consul in Montreal”

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/freeland-revoking-appointment-of-syrian-consul-in-montreal-1.4609694

    This article is full of factual errors and clearly biased. The Assad government IS the government of Syria and it would be odd if a Consul would oppose it. The writer blindly supports the White Helmets and doesn’t reveal the the controversy around them. It goes on and on …

    CTV does it again.

    He got there just at the right time. He didn’t kill any moslims coming to prey, but was close enough in time to be “neutralized” by those arriving just after he crashed his car.

    Why was his knife “bloody”? Just whom did he stab before getting in his vehicle and driving to the “place of worship”? Was he perhaps drunk and unaware that he crashed his car into a moslim barracks? Is it possible he thought he was crashing into a church or other building? Perhaps he was going there to celebrate having used his knife on an “infidel” and lost control of his car.

    So many questions. One answer: islam is the reason.

    No background on the driver, mentions of mental health issues… Hmmm, where have I seen that behaviour before? Better activate my almonds – you know, get the noggin’ joggin’ – and search for a pattern in past news…

    ……………………..

    So–probably not “Islamophobia”, but just more Muslim-on-Muslim violence.

    • AleX says

      In the Islamic trilogy (sira, ahadiths and koran) the devout is conditioned to combat the lack of faith of others more than own failures. More concern is thus dedicated to infidels than faith of self.
      Counter-intuitive and schizoid.

        Yes–Islam is all about controlling others.

    If muslims ran out of non-muslims, and the muslim sects merged then the poor sweet 💓 muslims we’ll be murdering their relatives just to satisfy their blood lust.They murder the innocent as sacrificial lambs to prove their loyalty to evil!
