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

Germany: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks cops with a knife, officials think “extremism” is “possible motive”

Jan 6, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

As the jihad in Europe escalates, the official denial looks more and more absurd.

“German police kill man who approached with knife, reportedly shouted ‘Allahu Akbar,’” Associated Press, January 6, 2020:

BERLIN — Police in western Germany shot and killed a 37-year-old man who allegedly tried to attack them with a knife. They are checking whether extremism was a possible motive for the attack, the German news agency dpa reported Monday.

The man, whose name was not given, first used an unidentified object to attack a police car in front of a precinct in Gelsenkirchen Sunday night, and then approached officers with the item in his hand, police spokesman Christopher Grauwinkel said.

As the man came toward the officers, they saw that he had a knife in his other hand and did not stop despite several orders to do so. A 27-year-old police officer then fatally shot him, dpa said.

Local media reported that the man shouted “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great” in Arabic, as he moved toward police. Dpa said the attacker was a Turkish citizen and that it is not known if he also had a German passport.

      The above report about the police reaction is so silly you laugh out loud.

      Who do they think they are fooling ?

      They are fooling the people who already have their heads buried in the sand.

    THIS conduct is NOT extremism. It is common, normal, ordinary, orthodox in compliance with the teachings and practice of islam. The Radicals, The Extremists, are those who act in a civilized wan contrary to the teachings. Read ANY of Spencer’s books, or most others to learn and know for yourself.

    Sooner or later those who give these interviews and posit their “we think…”, “this may be. . .” nonsense will catch on that they are fooling nobody and making themselves into ineffective liars, which they are. I am of course referring to those who speak for the sham “law enforcement” that talks a lot and does nothing to protect law abiding citizens against uncivilized invaders whose only goal is conquest.

    Gee, I wonder what kind of “Extremism” is at play here? Maybe he was an Extreme runner? Extreme Chess Player? Hopefully the police will be able to figure that out!

    In all seriousness – The Jihadi attacker is a Turkish Citizen, the article says – and the Leader of his country: Erdogan JUST a few weeks ago gave a speech in Europe where he read the verse from the Koran to ‘strike the Kuffar at the neck’ – seems like he was just a Turkish Citizen obeying his teachings from the Mosque and taking direction directly from Erdogan.

    How’s that Globalism working out so far?

      Indeed.

      Someone send this Erdogan quote to the French police:

      “Our God commands us to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels).
      Who are we? The ummah [nation] of Mohammed.
      So [God] also commands us to be merciful to each other.
      So we will be merciful to each other. And we will be violent to the kuffar. Like in Syria.”

    I’d like to know what has happened to the German brain since 1945.

    As the killer is dead the police can always use what the London police employed:
    “We may never know his motive”.

      But he so desired that we should. Did he fail to yell loud enough? First worlders got wax in their ears.

    Some progress is being made. The German police are now entertaining the idea that a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” while attacking police with a knife could possibly be“extremism” as a “possible motive”. Previously the police have always been baffled as to the motive. A few years more and they will notice the common thread of Islam in it all.

      In a “few more years”, it will be too late…

        Sorry to inform you that it is already too late for any peaceful solution.

    The Islamist who was shot wanted to build a “place of prayer for Allah” in the forest in Gelsenkirchen, Germany

    According to North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister Herbert Reul of the Christian Democratic Union, the assailant who was shot was 37 years old, a Turkish citizen, divorced and arrived in Germany in 2002. Reul remained sceptical about the motive because the investigation is still ongoing. However, an Islamist motive is being suggested because twice before, the assailant had already become a ” case for Islamism” at the State Security of the Gelsenkirchen Police. Both times the suspicion of being a violent Islamist could not be confirmed. He was therefore not considered a ” dangerous person”. Reul emphasized that the police authorities initiate about 10,000 such cases annually nationwide, according to indications. The security authorities take even the ” slightest indication at all” seriously, he said. Reul reported that the man first came to suspicion in January 2018, when he cleared an area of wood from an area of forest in Gelsenkirchen and dug around. He wanted to build a “place of prayer for Allah” there, he explained to the called police officers at that time. He is now in the “Islamic state”, and “Nazi Germany” has “destroyed his brain”, he is said to have told them. He seemed mentally confused to the officials, but he also showed them the certificate of a psychiatric clinic where he had apparently been treated and which showed him to be harmless.A year later, in January 2019, the police questioned him again and he declared that he was now completely committed to Islam and was a missionary. Both times, the officials saw no legal means to take further action against him. He also became known to the police for various offences, including assault and resisting police officers. Last year he was sent to prison for two months in the spring. This was a prison sentence in exchange for an unpaid fine for insulting and damaging property.
