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

BBC finally waking up to Sweden’s Muslim migrant bombing epidemic

Nov 23, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Indeed it is “Muslim AK-47s and Bombings which have Turned Sweden Into War Zone,” but most media don’t want to acknowledge this. There is a glaring avoidance of naming who the perpetrators are. This is important, as it inevitably has a negative impact policies in Western countries. For instance, if no one reports about Muslim crime inspired by or justified by Islamic texts, including Muslim rape gangs, then there is no problem at all in ushering in hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of Muslim migrants, right?

Sweden was peaceful until a mass influx of Muslim migrants turned some areas into war zones, others into Sharia-dominated area. Police want to quit, and now the violent conditions in Sweden are affecting its neighbors. Denmark has now begun border checks and passport controls for the first time since the 1950s.

Now, the BBC is finally awakening out of its slumber to recognize that Sweden is in the throes of a bombing epidemic, which Breitbart rightly boasts that it’s been covering for years. Most people are unaware of just how grim the state of the West has become, since the mainstream media is their source of information and the mainstream media has virtually discarded any effort to engage in real journalism. Instead, a blend of activist reporting and fear of Muslims has led journalists to ignore and suppress the truth.

Breitbart News received (erroneous) pushback for reporting that the prevalence of grenade attacks in Sweden is comparable to Mexico as long ago as 2017, years before the mainstream media in the form of the BBC appears to have finally acknowledged the scale of the crisis.

There isn’t a single truth-teller today who does not escape pushback for merely telling the truth. The truth about Islam is now regarded widely as a form of “Islamophobia.”

“BBC Wakes Up to Sweden Bombing Epidemic Years After Breitbart,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, November 13, 2019:

The publicly-funded British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has woken up to Sweden’s bombing epidemic years after Breitbart News.
In an analysis article titled ‘Sweden’s 100 explosions this year: What’s going on?’, the BBC acknowledged the epidemic of gang crime, gun crime, and criminal use of explosives which Breitbart London has been reporting for years — while the mainstream media scoffed and continued to hail the country as a Scandinavial left-liberal paradise.

“Swedish police are dealing with unprecedented levels of attacks, targeting city centre locations [as well as heavily migrant-populated suburbs],” the so-called public interest broadcaster conceded.

“This category of crime was not even logged prior to 2017. Then, in 2018, there were 162 explosions and in the past two months alone the bomb squad have been called to almost 30,” they reported.

The report managed to avoid directly citing the immigration connection for over twenty paragraphs, however, and then only addressed the issue obliquely, observing that “Swedish police do not record or release the ethnicity of suspects or convicted criminals, but intelligence chief Linda H Straaf says many do share a similar profile.”

That profile, according to Straaf, is “second- or third-generation immigrants” in “socio-economically weak areas” — what some would call no-go zones — but the BBC was quick to follow this acknowledgement with a quote from a left-liberal criminologist downplaying this reality:

Amir Rostami says ethnicity rarely plays a big role in gang membership in Sweden. “When I interview gang members… the gang is their new country. The gang is their new identity.”

However, Rostami did tell the BBC that the use of hand grenades in Sweden, in particular, is almost without parallel, “the only relevant comparison [being] Mexico, plagued by gang violence.”

“This is unique in countries that pretty much don’t have a war or don’t have a long history of terrorism,” the academic admitted….

      The BBC are ‘BLIND THROUGH EUPHEMISM’. Islam is the religion of EUPEHMISMS, so it is normal for dhimmis and Islamic apologists to adopt the euphemisms of Islam that disguise its hideously ugly realities.

      The first and greatest euphemism in Islam is the name ‘Islam’ which means ‘submission’. No one is as submitted as a slave. Islam ENSLAVES everyone.

      Since slavery is normative in Islam and was always the major source of Islam’s wealth, SLAVERY is not referred to directly … a EUPHEMISM is used: ‘those THAT (neuter=subhuman) your right hand possesses’.

      Captured married women are slaves awarded to jihadists. Muslim men may rape married captives under the EUPHEMISM of ‘those THAT your right hand possesses’. Islam justifies this crime against humanity which is a part of genocide, also allowed by Islam and also called something else … ‘fighting the near enemy’.

      Islam gets around its AMORAL OPPORTUNISM by EUPHEMISMS.

      One of the greatest mental tricks of Islam is MISDIRECTION in the sense that this is used by magicians. Muslims do this by taking attention AWAY FROM JIHADIC VIOLENCE.

      Penn & Teller are masters of misdirection. They describe it thus: “Misdirection is the story you GET THE AUDIENCE TO TELL ITSELF– that’s what they came there for.”

      Western politicians, clergy and journalists go to the mullahs to be MISDIRECTED by them. The BBC loves the thrill they get when Muslim apologists deceive them and a greater thrill when they bring mass audiences under the spell of MISDIRECTION. Much of this involves the use of EUPHEMISMS that disguise the ugly reality of JIHADISM and ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM.

      Imagine an entire religion that can only remain in business by INTENTIONALLY DECEIVE, DISTRACTING and MISDIRECTING 80% or more of all humans to maintain its political influence and power!

      In order to defeat Islam, it must be looked at as a bag of MAGIC TRICKS and we should consult the SEASONED PRACTIONERS of this EVIL MAGIC SHOW (the former Muslim clerics and theologians) who the MISDIRECTIONS and DISTRACTIONS are done.

      The chief method is EUPHEMISM and we must TRANSLATE the euphemism back into REAL LANGUAGE so that Western people clearly see the tricks.

        Here’s a big cognitive dissonant euphemism:

        “Islam is the religion of peace”.

        • PRCS says

          Nov 23, 2019 at 1:44 pm

          That’s not a euphemism.

    The BBC long ago lost its standing.
    When, in October 2010, a church service in Baghdad was invaded by muslim terrorists, the priest slaughtered in his vestments, and 58 Christians murdered by bombs, with many others wounded, the BBC DID NOT EVEN MENTION IT. It did not fit their narrative. Nor did they mention it the following day. Two days later it was mentioned, the egregious Clive Myrie referring to it as “a disaster”.

    • Trick_or_Treat says

      Nov 25, 2019 at 1:40 am

      Yes, it’s a disgusting abrogation of ‘journalism’ – it’s once expected ‘without fear or favour’ impartiality, and integrity.
      I haven’t got the exact figures at my fingertips at the moment but, on average, the BBC’s record on reporting across border attacks against Israel, runs at about reporting between 3 to 5 out of every several hundred. Disgusting, and pathetic!

      HB … you are dreaming. In the UK, anyone who criticizes Islam is arrested in minutes and police monitor their internet.

      In the UK, those who see what Islam is up to are put in jail and snuffed by the Muslim inmates.

          The scum in the authorities who are responsible for this should be noted, and filed, because when the time comes for all the shit to ‘get what’s coming to them’ (as it surely will), none of these scum should be overlooked.

    The BBC called Breitbart News a “right-wing… populist, bellicose, conspiracy-tinged outlet… popular with readers from the “alt-right”“. There are not enough crows in the world for them to eat… Well, there wouldn’t, if they owned up to their behaviour. As it is, they’re dancing around the cause, as if Swedes simply turned into bloody maniacs almost overnight…

    • Jayell says

      Nov 23, 2019 at 5:13 pm

      ‘Populist’ – another new word flogged to death by the Liberal-lefty-PC brigade (like ‘islamophobia’). Basically, if you have a some kind of following and your ideas conform with theirs, you are praised as being ‘popular’. If you have a strong following, and they don’t like your ideas, you are contemptible and ‘populist’, a term that also denigrates the people who support you. Which rather sums up the BBC’s insulting attitude towards the vast majority in the UK who have to pay for this arrogant, deluded monstrosity.

      • Angemon says

        Nov 23, 2019 at 6:17 pm

        Yup. I’ve seen my fair share of leftist politicians promising to increase the minimum wage, free healthcare, free education, etc., and they’re not called populists.

    This message is so important that it needs to be ,one again, reiterated. This message is that the jihad bombing epidemic in the nation of Sweden has been strongly linked to the large number of male Muslim migrants may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Germany to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.

    This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.

    So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Sweden to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.

      Excellent, the same story with the frog who could swim across the river, and the scorpion who convinced the frog he would not sting and kill him and asked for a ride across the river. After begging the frog for a ride with a lie, the frog let down he let down his defenses, the scorpion hopped on for a ride. But halfway the Scropion could not resist and stung the frog, killing them both. Upon which the frog screamed “why have you done this ,you promised you would not kill me” the scorpion replied, “I can’t help it is in my nature”. The Quran gives the muslim this nature if they take and follow the words….the results are the same.
      Recently I had a conversation with a young woman, whose friend from Sweden claims there is no trouble, so I explained to her, she can’t speak she will go to jail or be ostracized by speaking….this is the result of sharia law and fear of pushback. The truth is hate speech and if the country legalizes sharia and criminalizes speech even if true, she may get into trouble speaking out. This is the insidious result and the trait of the perfect con.

        To underbed cat , Thank your for taking the time to reply to my posting. In your posting you did make mention of Sharia law.

        In regard to Sharia law, which some people simply call Islamic law. It needs to be made known the the actual origin origin of Sharia law has been revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.

        There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.

        Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.

        In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.

    The jihadist or jihadists bombing attacks in Western nations ,as in Sweden Dusseldorf ,Germany, or be the Muslim terrorists in the other cities of the different nations of Europe as Strasbourg, Stockholm, London, Manchester ,Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military.

    For the violent Muslims who are jihadists will only understand the language violent force since that their mindset because the jihadists are men of deadly violence . Of course they are that way because of the religion which is Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran instructs in 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”

    Such vicious and ruthless instruction found in the Qu ‘ran reflects the malice-filled words spoken by the Muslim cleric.

    You can’t solve a problem until you know what the problem is.
    Biased reporting helps hide the problem UNTIL it can no longer be ignored.
    For example, it’s easy to ignore or deny the existence of rape gangs until it’s your daughter.

    Recognizing that Islam is an aggressive totalitarian movement goes against part of the leftist narrative, undermines some key aspects of the leftist paradigm and is consequently rejected and the evidence reinterpreted as “Islamophobia.” This is often done by people who do not know the first thing about Islamic teachings (some Muslims know surprisingly little about Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira, but Muslim leadership knows), or what they do “know” is disinformation spread by Muslim leaders and by leftist intellectuals intent on deceiving themselves and sticking their heads in the sand. Ironically, The charge of “Islamophobia” is in significant part a “progressive” mechanism for conserving progressive dreams unaltered. Time for progressives to wake up in Sweden.

    This is typical liberal anti-white racism at work, the slanderous implication being that if they name islam and muslims, all the racist whites (which, according to them, is all of us) will go on a mad racist lynching spree against all of the liberals’ swarthy People-Of-Color pets. Unfortunately, “our leaders” base “our” Western government policy on these slanders, yet nobody ever seems to remove them from office for the insults – i.e: see how Justin Turdeau was recently re-elected in Canada despite obvious evidence of his massive crimes.
