“I was planning to kill unfair and cruel people, those who make it possible for the Prophet Mohammed to be insulted…I wanted to defend my religion and make it clear that my religion should be left alone. If you don’t do that, you should be prepared for these kind of actions.”
This presents free societies with a choice. Either they defend the freedom of speech and refuse to allow any belief system to be placed beyond criticism, or they implement Sharia blasphemy laws and criminalize criticism of Islam in order to try to prevent “these kinds of actions.” In other words, it’s either fight or surrender. Most of the Western political and media elites are in full surrender mode.
“Afghan ‘who stabbed two American tourists’ at Amsterdam train station says he travelled to Holland ‘to protect the Prophet Mohammed’ and ‘kill unfair and cruel people,'” by James Gant, Mailonline, September 2, 2019 (thanks to Fjordman):
An Afghan man suspected of stabbing two American tourists last year at Amsterdam’s Central Station has told judges he travelled to the Netherlands ‘to protect the Prophet Mohammed’.
Jawed Santani, 20, appeared at a two-day hearing in a heavily fortified courtroom in Amsterdam, where he faces two attempted murder charges with the aim of committing an act of terror.
‘I came to the Netherlands to protect my prophet,’ he told the judges in reference to the August 31 incident last year that sent midday commuters into a panic and left two severely injured victims.
Moments after the stabbings, the Afghan asylum seeker was shot in the hip by police officers, officials say. ‘I came to the Netherlands to protect my prophet,’ he told the judges in reference to the August 31 incident last year that sent midday commuters into a panic and left two severely injured victims
‘I was planning to kill unfair and cruel people, those who make it possible for the Prophet Mohammed to be insulted,’ national news agency ANP quoted him as saying.
Santani previously mentioned anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders, and his knife assault came a day after the far-right MP announced he was cancelling moves to stage a cartoon competition to caricature the Prophet Mohammed.
Wilders pulled the plug on the competition at the time saying he wanted to ‘avoid the risk of making people victims of Islamist violence’.
Asked what Santani planned to achieve with his action, he told judges ‘I wanted to defend my religion and make it clear that my religion should be left alone.
‘If you don’t do that, you should be prepared for these kind of actions,’ he said.
Two American tourists were seriously injured in the lunchtime attack inside the Dutch capital’s busy station next to its historic city centre….

“I wanted to defend my religion and make it clear that my religion should be left alone.”
But Muslims following their madcapped religion never leaves anyone else alone.
James C. says
Of course they don’t. The call for respect applies to Islam alone. They want absolute freedom to crap on everyone else’s values, because allahmo hates whatever allahmo has not produced. Islam is allahmo-centric, and is concerned with nothing but allahmo. Nothing but allahmo has any rights.
JM says
Good post. I like “allahmo”. Any intelligent person who reads the Qu’ran objectively realises that Allah was a fiction, Mohammed’s alter-ego, and therefore seemed to do everything that Mohammed wanted,which was very convenient for Mohammed.
Allah is NOT Yahweh (Ha’Shem)
CogitoErgoSum says
In his mind they were persecuting his religion and the Quran definitely says persecution is worse than fighting. See Quran 2:190-193. But wait, you say, these people were not persecuting him. Oh, but in his mind they were because that is what counts — what he believes within his mind. When Muhammad was alive he could tell the Muslims what to believe and what to think and when to fight, but before he died he told his followers the Quran would be their guide and to look to it. So they do and this man did and it influenced his thoughts toward killing the oppressors and those persecuting his religion. I imagine this guy will be considered mentally ill and he probably is … but reading the Quran certainly did not help him any and most likely it just made him worse and also much more dangerous.
Christopher Watson says
You are right: they are indeed insane in the full meaning of the word. This is due to, among other things, growing up in a culture which is close to prehistoric, having a very low IQ and being in an advanced culture they cannot understand. Why do we allow these people to enter our civilised cultures? They cannot work; they cannot learn and up to 20 per cent have severe learning difficulties. Our leaders still haven’t realised what they have done; or they have and don’t know what to do about it.
CRUSADER says
Why should a developed society stoop to lower level?
The West has accommodated Islam’s spread of dread for too long….
lorem ipsum says
about our leaders … it is said: “you will recognize them by their results” …
Aussie Infidel says
Crusader, The reason why our society has “stooped to a lower level” to accommodate the spread of Islam, is due to the influence of Marxists in academia. Prior to WW II, people like John Dewey in the US, aided and abetted the immigration of many such academics from the Frankfurt School of Neo-Marxism in Germany. A similar situation also occurred here in Australia after the War.
These communist professors had re-branded themselves as “progressives” and introduced many of the ideologies now embraced by the Left, like diversity, inclusiveness, cultural relativism (multiculturalism), limiting freedom of speech and feminism. They were also dogmatically atheistic, but were willing to ally with Islam to bring down their old enemy Christianity. The unholy alliance between the Left and Islam is nothing new, but a legacy from that period.
I came from the Left, and for a time was a member of some of their policy committees. I once met one of these Marxist professors who was travelling back to Germany from the US in the late 1950s. A few years later, I ended up resigning in disgust over the Left’s collusion with Islam. At that time, not one leftist politician that I knew, had read the Quran.
As you say, “The West has accommodated Islam’s spread of dread for too long.”
Sherri Lynch says
I don’t think people in our government (at least those who are not Muslim) understand their main job is securing our country from the ideology that promotes the killing of our citizens and destroying our country. For that reason I will be posting evidence of that and hope others will share.

Germany: Islamist tried to shoot judge – He doesn’t accept anyone insulting his religion
——————————————————————————————————————-
After just a few seconds there is a first scandal in the large courtroom of the Augsburg Criminal Court. The defendant spits in the direction of the journalists who take pictures of him. Shortly afterwards, when the judges enter the hall, Haidar A., 26 years old, refuses to stand up. He wrangles with judicial officers and policemen. When the situation calms down again, the presiding judge Sandra Mayer orders the defendant to wear a thin spit hood over his head during the trial. It is supposed to prevent him from spitting around. The trial at the Regional Court in Augsburg started yesterday, Tuesday, under increased security measures anyway. Haidar A., who claims to be a Palestinian, allegedly tried to murder several judges and a prosecutor during a trial. The prosecution accuses the man, who also attracted attention because of his Islamist statements, of six counts of attempted murder.It is about an incident in the summer of 2017, when the Syrian was on trial in Augsburg for trying to behead a roommate in an accommodation for asylum seekers in Hurlach (Landsberg district). He had rammed a knife down the roommate’s throat. The stab was twelve centimeters deep, the victim survived only thanks to a quick emergency surgery. During the verdict on this crime – he was sentenced to almost 13 years in prison for attempted murder – Haidar A. tried to grab a policeman’s pistol. There was a wrangling, but in the end several officials could overpower and tie him up. Haidar A. had previously also thrown a shoe at the prosecutor and spat several times in the direction of the judges.Haidar A. admits without hesitation that he wanted to grab the policeman’s weapon and shoot the prosecutor and the judges using the weapon. He just did not succeed. “I would have started with the prosecutor,” he said in court on Tuesday. He felt he had been treated unfairly by the judiciary. He defends himself for the knife attack on his roommate in the accommodation. The roommate had repeatedly insulted Islam. This was the only reason why he attacked him and stabbed him with a knife. He doesn’t accept anyone insulting his religion, says Haidar A. “That pisses me off.” The presiding judge wants to know whether he will continue to become violent if someone insults his religion. He only answers: “Not immediately.” When he is asked whether he is an Islamist, he says: “I am proud to be a Muslim”. He also says that although he does not hate German society, he hates the German police and judiciary. The defendant stated in an interrogation with the police that he had fled Syria because of the civil war. During his flight, he was also temporarily accommodated and well treated by the terrorist organization “Islamic State”, so he could not say anything bad about the IS. As a Palestinian, he also sympathized with the Hamas organization classified as a terrorist group.He admits that he has experience in dealing with weapons. But he did not know the police officer’s service pistol, a P7 from Heckler & Koch. He didn’t expect it anyway, says Haidar A., that he could succeed in taking the gun and firing it.Loaded, however, was the pistol, with eight rounds of ammunition. The 55-year-old policeman reports as a witness in court that he noticed that the defendant had grabbed his belt. However, he did not succeed in pulling the weapon out of the secured holster. In order for such an incident not to happen again in the current trial, the 26-year-old has to sit in the dock tied to his hands and feet this time. In addition, a glass pane separates the defendant from the bench.A detective who spoke to Haidar A. in prison for a long time says the situation during the interrogation was very strange. The defendant openly talked about his hatred of the German state – and showed no remorse. At the same time, however, he was friendly and courteous during the conversation.The trial will continue in about two weeks.

If I was the Judge on this case, I would be asking, ‘you say you are an asylum seeker, as being one coming her for the purpose of seeking asylum, but then you say the purpose you came here for, was to kill people – could you please clarify for the court which one of the two it is?’

That Muslim who stabbed two tourists in the Netherlands to “defend ” Muhammad and Islam has only proved by his own vicious and malicious actions that Islam, which was founded by the false prophet Muhammad, is a hate-full violent , bloodily religion that is not based on reason or logic but malice emotions and feelings, which sometimes involves violence and killing.
CRUSADER says
Hey, the Left has become so insane and flooded with vicious power
that it protects Islamic behaviors at all costs… while not citing Muslim Brotherhood
as a terror organizer.
The Left currently in power in Chicago blames conservatives and Republicans for violence in neighborhoods in a city where residents have murdered each other for decades under Democrat administration and oversight.
Now, we hear the Left in San Francisco blames NRA for being a “terrorist” organization!
(This only leads to further demonizing, and eventual disarming of citizenry, for more Leftist political control!)
Crazy or what ??
=============
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution declaring the National Rifle Association a “domestic terrorist organization” and urged the federal government to do the same – the latest escalation in the heated rhetoric from Democrats regarding the NRA in the wake of several deadly mass shootings.
The resolution, which passed Tuesday and says the U.S. is “plagued by an epidemic of gun violence,” accuses the NRA of using “its considerable wealth and organization strength to promote gun ownership and incite gun owners to acts of violence.”
“All countries have violent and hateful people, but only in America do we give them ready access to assault weapons and large-capacity magazines thanks, in large part, to the National Rifle Association’s influence,” the resolution says.
The document resolves to assess the relationships that those who do business with the city have with the group and says “the City and County of San Francisco should take every reasonable step to limit those entities who do business with the City and County of San Francisco from doing business with this domestic terrorist organization.”
The resolution cites the July mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, in which three people were killed. KTVU reports that the resolution’s author wrote the text after that shooting.
The NRA responded by calling the resolution a stunt that was distracting from the city’s myriad of social problems.
“This ludicrous stunt by the Board of Supervisors is an effort to distract from the real problems facing San Francisco, such as rampant homelessness, drug abuse and skyrocketing petty crime, to name a few,” the statement said, according to KTVU. “The NRA will continue working to protect the constitutional rights of all freedom-loving Americans.”
The measure comes as Democrats across the country are ramping up calls to crack down on gun ownership, in response to deadly mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and western Texas. Some presidential candidates have proposed mandatory buyback programs, notably Beto O’Rourke who bluntly told reporters that would be the plan.
“I want to be really clear that that’s exactly what we are going to do,” O’Rourke said. “Americans who own AR-15s, AK-47s, will have to sell them to the government.”
Republicans, however, have noted that gun violence is still rampant in major cities like Chicago that have strict gun laws in place.
“Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted Monday.

CRUSADER,
You certainly right about Chicago. It’s a crazy place – almost like to separate cities.
This past summer, I attended a medical conference in Chicago. I stayed in a five-star hotel in the heart of the “Magnificent Mile.” Lots to do, great restaurants, entertainment, and I felt very safe. I even took a couple swims in Lake Michigan. Nice little beach area.
Then there are parts of South and West Chicago. Literally combat zones. I wouldn’t go near there without some Up- Armored Humvees – and a squad of Navy SEALs.
I agree with John Forgery – “I think we need a gunslinger” – and a Mayor Giuliani.

Too bad European TV doesn’t have dozens of late night talk shows like we do. You know, unfunny comedian extravaganzas like Steven Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver and the rest.
Then the citizens of EUrabla could watch in horror at what their ruling elites have done as their unfunny comedians deliver applause lines about Islamophobic bigots. Like we do.
European pagan says
I would punish muslim terrorists very hardly.
If he kills someone – death
If he tries to kill someone – death
If he rapes a woman – prison, pork to eat and gay men would rape him
If he rapes a woman again – I would cut off his d…
If he cuts off someone’s hand like in Cameroon and Nigeria – death
Why european politicians don’t think like me? We have to show this assh.les that they can not do what they want here!

Netherlands: Muslim stabbed two tourists to “defend” Muhammad and Islam
………………….
This is how Muslims “protect” Islam–by murdering random unbelievers.
More:
“I was planning to kill unfair and cruel people, those who make it possible for the Prophet Mohammed to be insulted…I wanted to defend my religion and make it clear that my religion should be left alone. If you don’t do that, you should be prepared for these kind of actions.”
………………….
Islam, where non-violent Infidels are “cruel”, but stabbing them to death is not…
And of course the implications that if Infidels never say anything critical about Islam of the “Prophet” that they will be safe from ravening Muslims is also an utter lie. The first victims of Islam had never even heard of it.

So what is this, the 2,856,275th proof that all democracies must detect the willingness of an immigration candidate to respect and love democracy before given citizenship? The dhimmis in thye immigration department should be sent to review Islam websites. There they will see opinions such as ”Democracy – the Evil System.” Evil because it allows non-Muslims to be the boss of Muslims.
