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

Switzerland: Man converts to Islam, meets jihadis at mosque, plots to bomb oil cisterns in massive jihad massacre

Feb 17, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his peaceful religion to think that it has something to do with the mass murder of Infidels. Yet there is still no program anywhere in the world to teach converts to Islam to reject this understanding of Islam that the majority of Muslims ostensibly reject. Now, why is that?

Is this mosque being investigated? Why not?

“Switzerland Thwarts Major Islamic State Terror Attack,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 15, 2020:

According to a new investigation by Swiss media, a cell of jihadists based in Geneva plotted to bomb cisterns full of oil near the city’s airport in a major terror attack.

The plot, which was set to take place last year before being stopped, revolved largely around a man named Daniel D., who also went by the Islamic name Abu Ilias al-Swisri, a convert to Islam who went on to join the Islamic State terror group two years later, Le Temps reports.

Al-Swisri, now 25-years-old, had attended the Petit-Saconnex mosque where he met two other radicals named “PF” and Ramzi, who would also join his Islamic State terror cell.

In 2015, both al-Swisri and Ramzi took a trip to Syria where they met with a branch of Islamic State and received weapons training. PF, who remained in Geneva, requested to join the two men in Syria but was told by al-Swisri that the group wanted to plot an attack in Switzerland.

Al-Swisri is said to have formed relationships with several more Switzerland-based jihadists, all of whom are currently, like al-Swisri, detained in Kurdish prison camps, and plotted the bombing attack with them.

In 2018, American intelligence sent a warning to Swiss intelligence regarding the terror plot which was said to have been planned for April or May of 2019. The arrest fo two Albanian migrants heading for Geneva is also rumoured to have been a factor in the unravelling of the plot.

Details, however, have remained sketchy due to investigators not wanting to jeopardise the case, with key details being kept hidden until they were revealed this week by Le Temps.

The terror cell is not the first in Switzerland. In 2015 it was revealed that a terror cell was operating out of the An’Nur mosque in the city of Winterthur near Zurich by journalist Kurt Pelda.

As recently as October of last year, eleven suspected jihadists were arrested by Swiss authorities, including five minors.

    Who is ‘SHOCKED! SHOCKED!’ by that??? If you have actually studied Islam’s primary source texts, none of what the Swiss convert did would shock you. One of the first things a serious student of the Koran notices is that the Koran contains 164 jihad verses encouraging warfare. A student then discovers that 64% of the Koran is DENUNCIATIONS, MISCHARACTERIZATIONS and DEHUMANIZATIONS of the dirty, disbelieving KUFAAR.

    Muslims are constantly encouraged by the Koran, their formula prayers and Muslim clerics to hate the kufaar, to seek to rule them and bring them under discriminatory Sharia law.

    Islam is not benign or egalitarian or pacifist.

    This is the most violent religion in the world. It needs all its followers to be sent back to the deserts of the middle east and Africa to keep the rest of the world safe from these mental morons.

    Not all muslims are terrorists.

    But oddly enough 100% of jihad terror is caused by doctrinaire muslims.

    Please explain.

    Is YOUR local mosque harbouring something like this? How would you know?

    To find out what a religion really believes in, look at the recent convert. The person who adopts a new religion is on fire with it. He is obsessed with his new worldview, and seeks to understand it in depth, and then to put into practice everything that it teaches.

    His actions reveal the most fundamental dogmas of his new belief system.

    When someone converts to an Evangelical Christian, he goes around annoying people saying “Jesus saves! Has he saved you?”. To date, there are no recorded instances of an Evangelical Christian convert blowing up buildings occupied by non-believers.

    There is only one religion whose fervent practice includes blowing up buildings, severing heads from bodies and blowing oneself up along with several non-believers. New converts to that religion should be monitored, to make sure they don’t carry out the most basic teachings of their new religion.

    Thinking of converting to islam?
    Looking for an excuse to do things that the Bible condemns but the koran conveniently sanctions?
    Bored with all that Christian pacifism or Western secular freedom?
    Want a religious and political ideology with a Doctrine of HATE,an antisocial,antisemitic,antichristian belief system that gives you the freedom NOT to “love thy neighbor”,to commit treason and violate the laws of the Actual God?

    islam has all that..

    At least…..

    LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

    Just so you know..{islamic apologists and dawa teams will NOT tell you any of this}

    1]allah,the god of islam is an ARAB god who calls himself “The BEST of deceivers” k3:54
    allah is NOT the Biblical Judeo-Christian God.
    allah’s greatest enemy? a MAN called the “king of kings”:Who do you think that is?
    {Sahih Muslim vol 5 Hadith #5611}
    allah the merciful?allah does not even permit final penitence {koran 4:18}
    You will have to live in fear of allah sending you to hell,no matter how pious you are.

    2]The “perfect” koran:If you apply allah’s own criterion of koran 4:82 and notice that the koran is FULL OF ERRORS{..In the ARABIC too..} you will see that the koran ,in its imperfections ,doesn’t come from God.It comes from “other than allah”.The koran is also MISSING the Holy Spirit,the Golden Rule,a formal listing of God’s commandments{if muslims want to find out about the Decalogue..they have to read the Bible}and the koran does not satisfy the 2 chief commandments{By giving freedom to disobey God’s Exodus 20 laws the 1st Chief Commandment{LOVE GOD}is impossible to satisfy and by koran 5:51 allah’s instruction for muslims NOT
    to be friends with Jews and Christians coupled with islam’s Doctrine of HATE,al walaa wal baraa,the 2nd chief commandment{LOVE OTHERS} cannot be satisfied by the koran’s warped teachings}

    Even if you spend years studying Arabic the ERRORS will STILL be there for you!
    koran 5:116 allah gets Christian Theology WRONG{Mary is not in the Trinity}
    koran 9:30 Jews do not believe “Ezra is the son of allah”
    koran 5:46 allah bestowed upon Jesus the Gospel{..Jesus did not have the Gospel}

    The teachings of the koran do not conform to the Exodus 20 commandments.
    There is No Golden Rule,no “love thy neighbor” Lev19:18{2nd chief commandment} in islam:You cannot love your neighbor in islam when he is classified, as Jews and Christians are, as “the WORST of created beings” koran 98:6

    The koran is an instruction manual to violate God’s Exodus 20 Laws:see for yourself.
    See how the koran permits murder k2;91,stealing k48;20 as long as the victims are infidels.

    3]muhammed the prophet?
    muhammed even admitted to being a fraud{al tabari 6:111}
    muhammed does not even qualify according to the koran’s OWN criterion of who was entitled to be a prophet.
    {membership of the Children of Israel see koran 45:16:muhammed was not from the Children of Israel}
    See on You Tube..acts17apologetics who killed muhammed?

    Wise people STAY AWAY from islam
    Smart people leave it
    Fools convert to it.

    Do something else:get a hobby or something.

    You don’t need this god,prophet or religion..

      A very excellent response. You are spot on in everything you said. I’ve been researching is-lame for 6-8 months now and it’s the wanna be religion for all murders, thieves and insane ppl.

      You left out the koran also calls aloha the “greatest deceiver “ at least twice and there’s a good video or two out there explaining the word “makr” means deceiver and not planner as muslims like to fool ppl with.

    “Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his peaceful religion”?

    What a silly observation, when it is well known that the peaceful religion is founded on violence!
