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

Spain: Muslims screaming “Islamist slogans” drive car into airport terminal, cops not treating it as terror attack

Mar 20, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Despite reports that the perpetrators shouted Islamist slogans, the police are not currently treating the incident as a terrorist attack.”

This is reasonable. Who ever heard of Muslims mounting terror attacks at airports, anyway? Why, the very idea is “Islamophobic.”

“Two arrested after botched ‘Islamist attack’ sees car driven into Barcelona airport (PHOTOS),” RT, March 20, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Mossos d’Esquadra, Barcelona’s police force, confirmed that two men attempted to storm the Terminal 1 bulking at the El Prat international airport at approximately 5am local time on Friday.

The men made it as far as the food court of the airport, reportedly shouting Islamist slogans, before they were arrested.

Technicians from Spain’s bomb squad Tedax were also deployed to investigate the vehicle which was found to not contain any explosive devices. No weapons or ammunition were discovered in the vehicle either….

Despite reports that the perpetrators shouted Islamist slogans, the police are not currently treating the incident as a terrorist attack….

Authorities have yet to rule out terrorism as a motive. However, neither of the men has any prior convictions or associations with known terrorist groups, according to Interior Minister Miquel Buch and Commissioner Eduard Sallen

    Finally, real jihad news about terrorists killing in the name of Islam.

    Can we get off the “coronavirus is the fault of the Muslims” narrative and focus on the real world?

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 20, 2020 at 3:32 pm

      Note that the appalling ELI doesn’t actually say that he considers Jihad terror to be a bad thing–this very much fit in with his sneering posting history here.

        fits in

      • ELI says

        Mar 20, 2020 at 3:40 pm

        Are you retarded? how the hell could you possibly interpret my post which is a call to focus on terrorists killing in the name of Islam as “jihad terror not being a bad thing”?

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 20, 2020 at 3:49 pm

          ELI merely noted that this is “real jihad news”.

          Since ELI has begun posting here a week or so ago, he has never said *anything* against Jihad–he has just castigated Jihad Watch for daring to report on Muslim reactions to the Coronavirus.

          Note that he *still* hasn’t actually said anything critical of Jihad here, despite having been prompted to–instead, just more sneering at Anti-Jihadists.

          ELI has a reading comprehension problem. Nowhere in the news article was there any mention of people being killed. I think he’s probably not playing with a full deck. Ironic that he asks other people if they are retarded.

      ELI,

      Just to clear things up, please state unequivocally that you are opposed to any and all types of jihad terror…

      • James Lincoln says

        ELI,

        Your silence is very telling…

    • Westman says

      Mar 21, 2020 at 10:04 am

      Eli, how about, the covid-19 first originated in China, not in any Muslim nations. Since that time Muslims have been spreading it within their nations by ignoring scientific principles in the belief that Allah will cure it.

      Please point out any error in what I have just written.

      Belief in Allah is now killing Muslims. No sane or competent Muslim should take pride in ignoring government warnings about the Covid-19 mortality or means of infection.

      Whatever happened to the Quranic idea that killing one innocent person is like killing all of humanity? Muslims are killing each other with a disease.

      One can see clearly, that under Islam, literacy does not equate to being educated nor logical. Islam is the world’s largest repository of ignorance.

      ELI, are you really this stupid? Other than from you, nowhere have I seen a “narrative” about “coronavirus is the fault of the Muslims”. This is simply you mentally deranged fabrication. Evidently your brain is succumbing to coronavirus!

    More willful denial.

      Mixed in with some mostly willful resignation, i.e. capitulation.

      It was vehicle extremism. It would be racist to describe the vehicle shade. But they guessed it was unusal vehicle behavior, checked it for packages and arrested the victim driver and victim passengers any way..Good job Spain.

      Now when the civil rights guys arrive and hold a press conference, to calm the airport staff and public, they may want a statement , and after the racist bomb technicians leaves I am sure they will ask for the keys and dignity and safe passage for they diversity vehicle. Beware of repeating what you “think” you heard, there are rules about certain words like” terrorists” that label is reserved for the kaffar non believers and cannot never be accepted when referring to the victim vehicle and victim passengers with a radicalized vehicle. Strange world when common sense and reality take a leftist hike.

      Trial run, maybe. Hope the radicalized vehicle is not planning a return trip.

    Still believe that the europeans care about your safety and security Israel? Sounds like the europeans are willing dhimmi, which means they believe Israel should take any risk and humiliation in order to please muslims. Why do the europeans support the two state solution? If it does not give islam victory over the Jews, what good is it to the muslims or the europeans? Why doesn’t your great ally Trump talk about the threat of europeans who will not even name islam as committing terrorists, even when muslims are killing europeans? Because Trump and america are not your friends, they support whatever policy and band aid avoids the confrontation between the Jews and the muslims. That is why A massive border can be cut off from Israeli control, and they can just tell you the muslims will be more peaceful, so Israel does not have to worry about muslim terrorism. Trump is not your friend, and neither ins Netanyahu. In G-d I trust.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 21, 2020 at 12:14 am

      Trump is actually a staunch ally of Israel. Claiming he wants Israel destroyed is quite false.

      There what a time, when I was a teenager, when I thought that the “Two-State Solution” sounded like a great idea. This was because I was at the time naive about Islam, *not* because I wished Israel ill.

      The implication that Netanyahu wants Israel destroyed as well makes even less sense. Israel has not had a better leader.

        Don’t feel badly GI, I remember telling my mother Castro would bring democracy to Cuba and she said “We’ll see”, in her I don’t think so voice. I told my American, granddaughter the other day how wrong I was and I was just a little younger than she is now. She said “ Was he like Bernie and crazy uncle Joe”?

      • underbed cat says

        Mar 20, 2020 at 9:47 pm

        Coronavirus koranovirus…that may more true than you think. The koranovirus had a issue with China….and I still don’t think China they would release it upon itself unless it was another anomally to make a dimmi of China and press China to submit. Except it backfired a little…..

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 20, 2020 at 10:40 pm

          There is no reason to suppose that China deliberately spread the disease. I am *no* fan of the Communists, but this being deliberate makes no sense. They were slow to respond, and this was *definitely* harmful–but that seems to be about the extent of their culpability.

          In places where viruses harmful to humans have originated wet markets dealing largely with wildlife have been prominent. Thus, China and Africa have been the dominant sources lately (SARS, ebola, etc.) but that does not mean places like Central America might not be next. Expect China to be the first to lie about everything however.

    According to the feature article:

    “Despite reports that the perpetrators shouted Islamist slogans, the police are not currently treating the incident as a terrorist attack….”

    Would it make any difference if the perpetrators declared that this was, indeed, a terrorist attack?

    • E T says

      Mar 21, 2020 at 3:52 pm

      NO James it would not, you know it any many readers here know it, but the rest of the world methinks not. That being their are fewer supports of the religion of Peace every day. I see a worldwide backlash coming and it ain’t gonna be pretty. I personally say “To hell with Allah and all the barbarians”. 1400 years of BS and massive killing in the name of Allah is enough.

    Who is this “ELI” poster? Seriously, I am sick and tired of Jihadi apologists infiltrating every aspect of the western world. Needless to say, westerners are blind to the evil they court and protect. They are ignorant of Islam and it will be the death of them all.

    Who is this “ELI” poster? I grow sickened by these Jihadi apologists who have infiltrated too much of the western world. Westerners blindly support, and cover-up, evil incarnate (Islam) to their own doom.

    He is probably just another manic Muslim.
