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

UK: Muslim brandishing meat cleaver sets fire to bank, is judged to be “very mentally ill”

Sep 24, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Of course. What other explanation could there possibly be besides more of the global outbreak of mental illness? Sure you don’t think Ahmad Mohammed would misunderstand his peaceful religion to the extent that he would think it commands him to wage war against unbelievers, would you, you racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”?

“Terrifying moment ‘very mentally ill’ arsonist brandishing a meat cleaver strolls into Santander branch with petrol can and sets bank on fire – as he is detained in secure hospital,” by John Bennett, Mailonline, September 22, 2019 (thanks to John):

CCTV footage has captured the shocking moment a man armed with a meat cleaver and a petrol can marched into a Santander bank in Hull and tried to burn it down.

Ahmad Mohammed can be seen walking towards the cashiers brandishing the jerrycan and blade.

He can be seen to march to the centre of the bank, speaking to a member of staff who is off-screen, as he begins unscrewing the lid, not even pausing for thought.

Mohammed can clearly be seen to gesture wildly as he appears to shout at the member of staff, pointing first in their direction and then at the floor.

As he walks along he pours the petrol in lines across the floor before setting the first alight, filling the room with smoke.

As the flames billow he makes a swift exit but not before throwing petrol around the entrance, making sure that flames block anyone inside from following him….

members [sic] of the court were shown the CCTV along with body-cam footage which showed Mohammad attempt to repeat his actions in another nearby bank….

Mohammed was remanded to Stockton Hall hospital, near York, while Judge Paul Watson decides whether to make him subject of a hospital order.

The judge said Mohammed was ‘very mentally ill’ adding that ‘He is likely to be detained to a secure hospital for a very long time to come.’

    he was conducting his jihad contribution….he, no doubt, received his instruction from his mosque….mental illness? pththththth….criminal assault and arson?….certainly looks like it..,

      No. He was probably getting back at them because they wouldn’t give him a special dirt-cheap, interest-free sharia-compliant mortgage so he could buy one of the local country mansions for his four wives and 16 kids at knock-down price, so they’d have to carry on in the four separate taxpayer-funded, specially-extended council houses instead. No, only kidding! Or am I?

      How can this act of jihad terrorism be put down to mental health issues? When you can clearly see it was all premeditated and was meant to kill civilians!

    Imagine being okay with having your god’s/prophet’s orders being so easily dismissed as “mental illness”.

    Islamic leaders are only too happy to keep the subterfuge going. Whatever keeps the infidels ignorant and trusting.

    “Yeah, we’re crazy…..like a fox.”

    And the liberal chickens keep holding the coop door open…as it wouldn’t be “fair” to keep all the great foxes out. “It’s SO worth the odd case of rabies.”

      Imagine all the damage to the name of Muhammad being done by his slaves when they keep naming their children, “Muhammad”. Islam’s apologist groups are powerless to stop the name of Muhammad appearing in newspapers, TV, police stations, YouTube, etc, as mentally ill and criminal.

      So, Muslim parents, keep naming them Muhammad, encourage them to dye their beards red, forbid unbelievers, and teach them to hate the West; it will make Islam more noticed.

    Koran 8.60 says “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them). If you believe the Koran is the eternal verbatim words of Allah, then to terrorize kafirs is ‘sane’ for a believing Muslim. He may have done so under instruction of a terror group. He will be a hero for conducting jihad ‘in the way (’cause’) of Allah’.

    Islamic logic for terrorizing a bank would go like this: The banks lend money to the government and the government sends its army to attack jihadists. Since Islam’s warriors are being attacked with the help of banks, terrorize the banks.

    Furthermore, the hadiths say that Mohammed praised vigilante jihadists. Leaderless jihad or self-directed jihad on one’s own initiative is a valid approach to jihad with authority from Mohammed.

    Furthermore, Koran and hadiths agree that Muslims should take the initiative to change society. The Koran states: “Let there arise from you a group calling to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. It is these who are successful.” (Koran 3:104). A hadith states: “Whosoever among you sees an act of wrong SHOULD CHANGE IT WITH HIS HANDS. If he is not able to do so, then he should change it with his tongue. If he is not able to do so, then with his heart, and this is the weakest of faith.” (Sahih Muslim, 49)

    The hadiths contain quite a number of murders sanctioned by Mohammed: https://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killings_Ordered_or_Supported_by_Muhammad

    Leaderless jihad against the disbelievers is an honored part of Islam.

    They’re all mentally ill or they wouldn’t believe in that BS religion or its Pedo Prophet.

    From a physician’s viewpoint,

    For a moment, let’s assume that the arson committed by Ahmad Mohammed was actually due to some underlying mental illness – and admission to a psychiatric hospital was appropriate.

    What criteria would the psychiatric medical staff use as a “test of cure / control” before release from the hospital?

    What medications / psychotherapy would he be prescribed?

    What would be the follow-up care regimen?

    Most importantly, if it was determined by the psychiatric medical staff that the Islamic religious ideology exacerbated his underlying mental illness, would they recommend leaving the religion? If not, why not?

      Often the “mentally ill” jihadis are court-ordered to their local mosques–to be set straight by their imams re: their religion of peace. And so it goes…

      • JM says

        Sep 25, 2019 at 5:27 am

        Mohammed: I have been sent here to seek your guidance, Your Somethingness. (I don’t know what title to use for an imam) I have failed . What should I do?

        Imam: You most certainly have failed. Now do what our scripture commands. Go out and kill and be killed – and don’t come back till you are dead!

    Good thing that the bank was very fire resistant.

    Hopefully, the investigators also have the audio to accompany the video…

    Muslim brandishing meat cleaver sets fire to bank, is judged to be “very mentally ill”

    I saw nothing in this video that suggests mental illness. What I expected to see was some shuffling, confused goon performing actions that seemed to have no real purpose in mind and therefore “mentally ill.” Instead I see a young man acting methodically and with deliberation while waging threats and starting a conflagration before dashing out the door to escape. The motive doesn’t appear to be robbery, so terror seems more likely. And why would a muslim wage terror against innocents? Well I suggest it’s for the same reason every other muslim wages terror:for their god and culture.

    I could be wrong about this muslim but I bet I’m not. His actions only seem nuts to people who don’t understand the power of islam to inspire terror and murder. But some might ask, “What would he accomplish by burning down a bank?” And I would respond, “To serve his god and spread terror against his enemies.” Such sentiments have been driving conflicts and wars since the dawn of humankind. But then one might ask, “But what does he hope to gain?” and I would respond, “To create fear and demoralize his enemy’s resolve to resist islam’s dominance in society and the spread of sharia.” And let me tell you, that’s what they want–AND IT’S WORKING!!!!! Free Europe is disintegrating under the weight of islamic demands and terror, Tommy Robinson goes to jail while jihadists on welfare roam free. To muslims waging terror is not a mental illness, it’s a jihad duty and a service to their god and people. Their god Allah was a murderous bigot so of course many of his followers are murderous bigots, and those “peaceful” muslims that aren’t are very much in line with those who are. They may not kill but they do their greater part by infiltrating and degrading every aspect of our culture for islam, and they do it with the Left’s help while skirting the law. The “peaceful” ones are more dangerous than the terrorists, we can kill the terrorists while all the rest act with impunity for our destruction. Yet they’re always the victims, but we’re racists for wanting to protect our culture and nation.

    The Left is always trying to excuse muslims for their misdeeds. But patriots and law-abiding people know terrorism when they see it. We need to protect our nation(s) from islam’s filthy teachings and their bad effects or we will be destroyed.

      Agostino – – great intelligent truthful post!! Thank you.
      England is lost! The unfettered immigration of Muslims with no acclimation is the end of England’s soverignity and identity. Pm Churchill is not resting easy today! England and Europe are under attack daily – when will they wake up to reality?? Crime, no go zones, rape, demands for welfare and housing, mosques replacing churches in every town, etc etc is a disaster in the making!
      Only God save England and Europe now!!

    I know that the fervent practice of Islam is hard to distinguish from insanity (they both deny reality, both result in harm to self and others) but this is ridiculous.

      You’re right, jihadists will exploit anyone for allah, even the mentally ill. But I don’t think they’d need to offer a million bucks, I think a candy bar would suffice in most cases, lol.

    Yes, he’s mentally ill all right. Worshiping the moon god is definitely crazy. Plus all the inbreeding Pakistanis will produce even greater craziness.

    It is so sad that in dismissing Christianity as a way of life, the majority of people now do not know the difference between mental illness and demonization.

  12. James Lincoln says

    Sep 24, 2019 at 1:04 pm

    Just a few questions,

    If this crime had been committed by a white supremacist, would the same judge blame this on “mental illness”? If not, is this, ironically, a form of prejudice against Muslims?

    By the way, is the judge a clinician qualified to make a diagnosis of mental illness?

    • Joe says

      Sep 25, 2019 at 7:30 am

      Even more troubling is that the judge reaches an opinion without any attempt to understand the crime. By doing so, the judge deflects attention away from the motive for the crime which results in a miscarriage of justice. The judge is supposed to be an arbitrator of fact, but in this case, he never gives the system a chance.

      “Well he did talk to himself all the time, kind of bent over.” “And then there was the time he found out there was pork in the can of pork and beans he bought, went ballistic and Allahu Akhbarred at least 5,000 times.”
      “He would never look me in the eye”, testified the buxom blonde at his sanity trial, “but he would get real agitated if I wore tight clothes. Like denting his car agitated.” “He only watched slasher films, reruns of Baywatch and a lot of weird porn, really weird stuff.” “He was OK by himself, but when his Muslim ‘bros’ came around he got real depressed and wouldn’t laugh or even smile. So yeah, I think he was real messed up, with his dad being an imam and his mom a white ex-pentecostal Christian convert from South Africa.”

    UK: Muslim brandishing meat cleaver sets fire to bank, is judged to be “very mentally ill”
    …………………

    Funny how all of these Jihadists are “mentally ill” in just the same ways.

    And his behavior in that video clip actually looks pretty organized–threatening bank staff with a weapon so they don’t get too close, then laying down gasoline on the door and setting it on fire so his victims will be trapped. He also didn’t splash any gasoline on himself or set himself on fire.

    So the only crazy thing–for civilized Infidels–is his targeting the bank in the first place. But this makes perfect sense to Muslim supremacists–these are non-Muslims who are not Shari’ah compliant. No doubt they have some uncovered females in there, as well, shaking hands with unrelated males. All very un-Islamic.

    • JM says
