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

Ramadan in Spain: Muslim plots jihad massacre at soccer match, says “I’m going to be a meat mincing machine”

May 20, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

He was a “lone wolf,” we’re told, and yet he plotted a massacre much like many, many other Muslims have plotted jihad massacres around the world in recent years. These “lone wolves” are tied together by a common religious perspective, ideology, and goal. It should also be remembered that the Islamic State has repeatedly called upon Muslims in Western countries to mount “lone wolf” jihad massacres in places where large crowds will be found.

“FOOTIE TERROR PLOT ‘Lone wolf ISIS fanatic, 33, plotted to turn Barcelona – Real Madrid fans to mincemeat using drone bombs,’” by Gerard Couzens, The Sun, May 18, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

AN alleged ‘lone wolf’ terrorist planned to target a Barcelona-Real Madrid match with a drone carrying explosives, it was claimed today.

The 33-year-old Moroccan confided his twisted idea to police after his arrest, according to a leading Spanish TV station.

Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico, which published more details about his sick ‘drone plan’, said he was forced to ditch the project for a knife attack after football matches were banned because of coronavirus.

It also claimed the out-of-work waiter told a Syrian-based Islamic State mentor blamed for helping to radicalise him before his arrest: “One of these days I’ll die.

“I’m going to be a meat mincing machine. I’m not afraid.”
‘IMMINENT ATTACK’

Police sources quoted by the newspaper said they were working on the theory he was planning to use a knife in an “imminent attack” on people queuing for food outside a supermarket or travelling by tube in Barcelona.

Spanish press have named the suspect, said to have lost his job and moved in with a Good Samaritan colleague after the cafe-bar where he worked closed down during the Covid-19 lockdown, as Mohammed Yassin.

The name and the drone claims have not been confirmed by police as is normal in Spain – where suspects are never usually named before trial.

Spanish police described him as a “real threat to security” when they announced his arrest and said he had wanted to carry out a terrorist act which could have involved the use of knives or a vehicle as a weapon.

The Civil Guard added in a statement at the time, referring to ISIS by its acronym DAESH: “The arrested man’s radicalisation and affinity for DAESH dates back at least four years.

“During the current state of emergency that process of radicalisation culminated and became highly noticeable and worrying.

“The initial police hypothesis linked this extreme activation of his activity to DAESH calls for lone wolves in western countries to mobilise and carry out attacks in the towns and cities where they lived.

“Since the spread of coronavirus throughout Europe, several terrorist attacks committed by sole individuals have taken place, using knives or vehicles to run over victims.

“The man arrested has been observed regularly breaching the coronavirus confinement established as part of the state of emergency.

“He was seen moving around Barcelona and appearing to search for possible objectives.”…

    In the last decade, hundreds of thousands of Moroccans have gone to Spain, the worst of that society, illiterates, religious fundamentalists, low-skilled labor (attracted by the Spanish landowners themselves in search of cheap labor) …. and thousands and a thousand teenagers and young Moroccans whose only destiny is to commit crimes,rapes…. Strolling through many areas (including tourist, central, popular) of cities such as Barcelona, ​Girona,Lleida,Terrassa,​Madrid, Bilbao, Alicante, Almeria … is a risky practice since they are full of young Maghreb people willing to steal and rape. Then there are the religious fundamentalists (the practically all of those who are not young criminals, to different degrees of course but all of them religious fundamentalists.). Spain opened the door to Moroccan and Algerian immigration and this has meant the rapid deterioration of its famous security and social cohesion(Some nationalistic issues to be resolved, such as Catalonia, the Basque country … but the Spanish population as a whole has been the most homogeneous in all of Europe for centuries, the only minority have been the Gypsies.). Spain is a very touristy country and that kind of immigration is going to mean the total destruction of its tourist industry (good weather, sun, beach, immense historical heritage) since nobody wants to travel to a country with so much insecurity or sun and beach tourism He wants to travel to countries with so many Islamic populations. Spain has signed its death sentence.

      Perhaps a knowledgeable Jihad Watch reader could shed some light on a question that I have:

      According to the Pew Research Center, in 2016 Muslims made up 2.6% of the population in Spain but only 0.4% of the population in Portugal.

      https://www.pewforum.org/2017/11/29/europes-growing-muslim-population/

      Why the big difference in these two neighboring countries?

      • gravenimage says

        May 20, 2020 at 8:21 pm

        Perhaps because Spain is a lot closer to the coast of Africa than is Portugal?

        The social aids that Spain provides above all regions such as Catalonia and the Basque Country. Right now, Moroccan minors who want to cross the strait only have one city in mind: Bilbao, the most populous city in the Basque country where the government provides the most social aid. Call effect is evident. In Spain there are large orticola regions where cheap labor is needed (Almeria, Murcia …) and where landowners often treat workers indecently and abusively. Yes, there are Moroccans who have gone to Spain to work as temporary workers and then have brought their family or their wife to give birth in Spain and that their children have Spanish and European nationality. Spain has two cities in North Africa , Ceuta and melilla. These two Spanish cities are permanently assaulted by Africans. Formerly they were military squares and over time the surrounding Moroccan population settled and right now they are the majority.
        You can search for information about the population of Salt to see what is currently a Catalan population full of Moroccans. It is curious that the region closest to Africa, Andalusia, does not have as much Moroccan population as Catalonia and the Basque Country. The main reason is social assistance, they can live without work, have many children, free education and health …

          Much thanks for your detailed reply, Eur.

          Countries like Poland figured out years ago that welfare benefits would be a magnet…

          Thank you, Eur. I have heard some of this–if Basques think that Muslims are their allies, they are *sorely* mistaken.

      My apologies for any misunderstandings…

    I asked myself for the watermark of being civilized, and I came up with this answer:
    The ability to co-exist peacefully and respectfully.
    It is my firm conviction that ideologies and people who do not have that ability should be banned from civilized countries.

      I couldn’t agree more, Chrissie01, and Islam sure as hell cannot, and doesn’t ever intend to, “co-exist peacefully and respectfully”. And I agree with your solution, which is the same as my solution. Just keep Islam out of all non-Muslim countries. Nothing else can work.

        And immediately deport all who can be legally deported…

      U can always find a way to coexist with people having even opposing viewpoints. But U can never find a way of coexisting with those having opposing values.

    “his twisted idea …. his sick ‘drone plan’”…….

    Memo to Gerard Couzens, of The Sun:

    No, not twisted or sick: just orthodox basic Islam, as instructed in the mosque.

    THERE WILL BE MORE BOMBS

    There will be more bombs,
    There will be beheadings,
    There will be more stabbing with knives.
    The command is ongoing,
    To kill for Islam,
    To kill to end infidel lives.

    Ah yes, the wonderful and noble dream of the devout Muslim on display. “I’m going to be a meat mincing machine”. Islam teaches such high ideals. It’s one of the world’s great religions, don’t you know, and deserves great respect. Islam is such a loathsome ideology, as we see demonstrated over and over again, and this devout Muslim’s lovely words are just one more example.

    …………….

    How many more pious Muslims in Spain–and in the rest of the West–are hatching just such plots now? Just glad this one was caught in time.

    This “Lone Wolf” concept has one purpose and that is do delay our awakening to the fact that we are the target of asymmetrical warfare which has nothing in common with violent crime committed by individuals.

    We are talking about crime against humanity committed in ways which does not make sense on a personal level for the person committing the crime. There is no element of personal enrichment, and there is no element of personal revenge as terrorist mass murder targets people unknown to the perpetrator.

    The fact that the individual act of terrorism may not be coordinated by anyone does not mean that it is a personal initiative coming out of nowhere, because it is not. The Koran is full of commands to kill infidels and Muslim hypocrites and the mosques are venues which further instil blind hatred in the devout Muslims, who are also aware of the encouragement to violence provided in statements from leading Muslims in the world.

    Like other soldiers in the battlefield the Muslim terrorists make their own decisions how to harm the enemy to the maximum.

    What we must realise is that we are facing asymmetrical warfare and that these numerous “Lone Wolfs” are soldiers waging illegal warfare on us. We must stop to treat them as criminals and must treat them as enemy combatants and if needed we must reintroduce capital punishment which we gave up feeling sure that we do not need it in a civilised society. We have to realise that our society is no longer civilized and we need to instil terror in the terrorists.

    Leave it to a muslim to be wandering around while everyone else is at home. Nothing suspicious there. And what can you say about his plan to bomb stadia without spectators? He’s really plugged into the zeitgeist.
