Illinois: Muslim who slashed tires at churches and said “I don’t like Christians” now tries to burn occupied church

Apr 18, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“In November 2019, prosecutors said that El Hannouny slashed the tires of 19 cars in the parking lots of the First Baptist and Sts. Helen and Constantine churches. Upon his arrest, he told authorities that he damaged the cars because, “I don’t like Christians,” according to police. Hate crime charges were added in January, and he was released on a $10,000 I-bond with electronic monitoring.”

We see how well that worked. Officials did not and would never dare to address the root causes of El-Hannouny’s hatred, and so he was free to act upon it again. When arrested this time, he didn’t show any sign of remorse: “While El Hannouny was being processed, police said he started spitting at officers, reports said. El Hannouny also wrote a religious slur on the wall of his cell.” Yet he will soon be free again, and will almost certainly target yet another church.

“Man Accused of Trying To Burn Down Occupied Church,” by Lorraine Swanson, Patch, April 16, 2020 (thanks to the Geller Report):

PALOS HILLS, IL — A Palos Hills man already facing hate crime and criminal damage charges is now accused of trying to set fire to an occupied church, reports said. Osama E. El Hannouny, 25, appeared Wednesday before a Cook County judge on charges of arson, hate crimes, criminal damage to property, battery to a police officer and violation of bail bond.

In November 2019, prosecutors said that El Hannouny slashed the tires of 19 cars in the parking lots of the First Baptist and Sts. Helen and Constantine churches. Upon his arrest, he told authorities that he damaged the cars because, “I don’t like Christians,” according to police. Hate crime charges were added in January, and he was released on a $10,000 I-bond with electronic monitoring.

On April 14, police said El Hannouny used leaves to set fire to Sacred Heart Church, 8245 W. 111th St. According to the police report, El Hannouny was caught on video looking through the doors of the church building and noticing that it was occupied. Police said he made numerous trips to pile leaves near the gas main and air conditioning unit. El Hannouny allegedly set the leaves on fire, but firefighters quickly extinguished the flames.

While El Hannouny was being processed, police said he started spitting at officers, reports said. El Hannouny also wrote a religious slur on the wall of his cell, according to the report. El Hannouny allegedly scratched, bit and spit at police when they tried to stop him….

    Germany: Tunisian sets fire to homeless shelter and to locomotive

    On last Thursday morning, an initially unknown person set fire to the attic of a homeless shelter on Rosa Luxemburg Street in Glauchau. Firefighters extinguished the fire. Fortunately, nobody was injured. However, the flames partially destroyed the wooden roof construction, making the house uninhabitable after the fire. Shortly afterwards, the suspect lit paper in the driver’s cab of a diesel locomotive at the nearby station, causing damage to the locomotive to an unknown extent. The 37-year-old locomotive driver extinguished the fire and was subsequently treated in hospital as an outpatient on suspicion of smoke intoxication. The man then set fire to paper again on an empty wagon. However, the fire extinguished by itself, so that no material damage was caused here. Shortly afterwards, police officers were able to find the suspect on the station premises and arrest him provisionally. On Thursday afternoon, the 34-year-old Tunisian was brought before a judge who issued an arrest warrant. The suspect was then taken to a prison.

    Shouldn’t he be charged with multiple counts of attempted murder?

    He should be thrown in jail for the rest of his life. And if he ever gets out – send him to a country that doesn’t have any of those Christians that he can’t stand to coexist with.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      He should be deported to a Muslim-majority country immediately. The most dangerous, dysfunctional one possible. There is no point spending millions of dollars to keep this savage in an American prison.

    Is anyone going to de-radicalize El Hannouny ? Of course not. That would be ‘Islamophobic’. Every criticism of Islam is called ‘Islamophobic’, even valid ones that show Muslims why they should not kill kafirs.

    Western countries are allowing the progress of radical ideas if they do nothing to support the deprogramming of Muslims. Whole counterjihad schools could be developed to deprogram Muslims if there were funding to do so.

    Deprogramming films should be placed on the internet both to inform Western Pollyannas about Islam and show Muslims the horrific teachings that they are refusing to learn about.

    Deprogramming Muslims is dangerous work and must be done in secret by government-financed think-tanks. Counterjihad is a form of ideological counterinsurgency.

    Western governments should immediately start ideological warfare against Islam. It is most urgent in France, Germany and Russia which have huge Muslim populations. The UK is one of the world’s hotbeds of jihadism and the UK is run by a bunch of paid lackeys of jihad-supporting governments, especially the UK Home Office traitors.

      “Deprogramming” Muslims is a fantasy. There is no chance it could happen fast enough to save the West from the demographic jihad. None. No matter how much money and effort is wasted on the attempt.

      Mortimer, when has “de-radiscalization” or “deprogramming” ever worked?

      And how would one even go about trying if this is done in secret? What is the plan–to try and communicate with Muslims psychically?

      Your cockamamie solution is probably illegal. I’m sure there are some Leftists around who would love to ship some born-again Christians off for the same kind of treatment but I have seen no evidence of any format attempts.

      The most secure deprogramming is being proselytized and believing in Jesus. No one understands Islam’s threat more than Christian converts from Islam. You can’t replace belief in evil with belief in nothing. If the Pentagon wants to try that black op, I am all for it.

    Well I guess the electronic monitoring imposed on El Hannouny was of no real value to law enforcement.

    Attempting to burn down an occupied church is attempted murder.

    Recommend a speedy trial, conviction – restitution/fine, and maximum sentence in a maximum security prison.

    Following his sentence, deport if at all legally possible…

    Islamists have been at war in India, with Hindus and other religious groups for over a thousand years and cost millions of lives. Why would you expect them to act any differently here?

    Islam turns way too many Muslims into venomous snakes. That’s because Muhammad was a venomous snake, so the more closely a Muslim learns about and follows the example of Muhammad as reported in the Islamic trilogy (Qur’an, Hadith, Sira), the worse the Muslim becomes and the more like ISIS, or the Iranian mullahs, or the Taliban, or the Saudi rulers, or Boko Haram, or Hamas, or Hezbollah, or Al Qaeda, or, well, you get the idea.

    Illinois: Muslim who slashed tires at churches and said “I don’t like Christians” now tries to burn occupied church
    …………………

    This should not surprise–“I don’t like Christians” for a Muslim doesn’t mean that he finds them annoying; it means he wants to mass murder them.

    Who would have thought that you can’t trust a guy named Osama? sarc/off

      Thats right = unbelievers must be killed because Allah wants ”the light on earth to be complete. The light means believe. Nazism has the same agenda, conquer the world.

    the so-called muslim think tank, iiit, specifically created the term ‘islamophobe’ to detract from themselves and put people down thinking that would stop the criticism of islam. sorry, a_ _ h_ _ _ _, that won’t work.

    islam is so backwards, deceitful, full of lies, why anyone would believe that stuff is beyond me. it is pure horror stories with women as the victims. the men have no balls, they for sure wouldn’t have any if women were in charge.

    According to pope Francis God has willed the diversity of religion including Islam which can only claim to be a religion at all by postulating that it is an Abrahamic faith. There is no evidence for that at all. The pope has even taken steps to establish brotherly relations between the Roman Catholic church and Islam which apart from a fraudulent relationship with Judaism and Christianity has the only purpose to blaspheme God and our Lord Jesus Christ. It is beyond me that any church would lend credibility to Islam.

    Come off it, Spencer! He’s a “Palos Hills man.” The article says so. And here you go, trying to make it all about religion, as if anybody called Osama couldn’t have felt the need to burn down a church, with its congregation inside.

    “Spitting, biting, scratching”… sounds like a rabid dog. Rabid Islam will do that to a human being, that is, make him/her into a frothing, foaming at the mouth, snarling person….which is the definition of jihad mentality. And we know what the cure is for rabid dogs, right?
