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

Arrests of jihadis outnumbered arrests of “right-wing extremists” 20-1 in 2019, media focused only on “far-right”

Jun 28, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

This is key information as globalists continue to spin a web of lies to fool the public into accepting their agenda:

436 people were arrested for jihadist terror in Europe in 2019 according to a new report, but the mainstream media has focused their reporting on right-wing extremists, whose arrests were outnumbered by jihadists 20-to-1.

The mainstream media has become the globalist state media. And that Europol number does not include covert jihadis who manage to escape but continue to plot, including Islamic preachers and members of the Muslim Brotherhood who incite believers to engage in violent jihad, and/or cover for it.

“Europol: 436 Jihadists Arrested Across Europe in 2019,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, June 25, 2020:

436 people were arrested for jihadist terror in Europe in 2019 according to a new report, but the mainstream media has focused their reporting on right-wing extremists, whose arrests were outnumbered by jihadists 20-to-1.

According to the report, in addition to the 436 people arrested for jihadist terror-related offences across the continent in 2019, there were also 111 arrested for left-wing extremism, and 21 for right-wing extremism.

In a broader context, in the past five years, 3,057 jihadists had been arrested, compared to 279 left-wing extremists, and 108 right-wing extremists. Other categories included 1,549 “non-specified counter terrorism-related arrests”, and 360 Ethno-nationalist and separatists — mainly arrests relating to Northern Ireland in the UK, and Catalonia in Spain.

The good news is the number of attacks overall is falling, standing at 119 compared to 205 in 2017.

On the ongoing development of these divergent groups, the 98-page study noted: “There is also a possible risk from radical Islamist groups in the EU attempting to take advantage of vulnerable asylum seekers.”

On the 111 arrests related to far-left terrorism, the 2019 figure more than tripled the numbers seen in previous years, while the 21 arrests categorised as far-right were less than half the number seen in 2018.

“The narratives behind [far-left] attacks”, according to Europol, “included expressions of solidarity with imprisoned anarchists internationally” as well as “support to refugees”.

Right-wing extremists, it said, “capitalise on … xenophobia” as well as “agitating against immigration in polarising and inflammatory ways”, including by using “social issues … as propaganda tools, for example drawing the contrast between the housing of migrants and the plight of the homeless”.

    Europol’s report says that “Right-wing extremists “capitalise on … xenophobia” as well as “agitating against immigration in polarising and inflammatory ways …..for example drawing the contrast between the housing of migrants and the plight of the homeless”.

    How inflammatory of them! How dare they! Don’t they know what their tax payments are for? This is a blatant and tell-tale example of “right-wing extremism”.

    Let that be a lesson to them.

    Globalists continue to ignore Islamic terrorism and pretend that it doesn’t exist, and even that it is an aberration, rather than mainstream, normative Islam. (“Turhibunna” = terrorize them – Koran 8.60)

    It is clear that a consortium of financial interests from banks to international corporations are interested in promoting the project of a ‘de-Europeanized’ Europe inhabited by many millions of new immigrants from Asia and Africa.

    Populations around the world will become interchangeable so that industry will be able to move from country to country more conveniently.

    Anything or anyone who resists the globalist plan must be denounced, banished, punished and eventually terminated.

    What we see is the Globalists want there to be NO OPPOSITION to their propaganda. They are demanding a monopoly on all information. The Globalist political wing (bureaucrats), along with Big-Tech and other financial giants will rule the world unopposed. That is the definition of fascism.

    They are Globalist-Fascists but they do not admit it.

    Maybe we’ve become so accustomed to yet another terrorist attack that the media and the citizens just can’t be bothered taking notice anymore.

    But I guess the truth is Islamophobia. We are afraid that if we offend them, they will leave us and go back home.

    It seems that the left, regardless of the personality, is doing something that the “silent majority” isn’t.

    They are getting involved, they are in the public square, and they “are” making their voices heard.

    History has shown how easily the masses can be manipulated and controlled.
    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
    – Joseph Goebbels, Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Nazi Germany 1933-1945

    Are we witnessing a successful repeat of the “big lie?”

    The left is actively engaging the culture, imposing the “big lie” on the masses, while those of us on sites such as this are preaching to the choir.

    I’m not, in any way, shape or form, condoning the destructive behavior of the left and their Marxist agenda. I’m merely pointing out the obvious; they are highly organized, tenacious, and unrelenting in their destructive goal. They are “ideological zealots” who will go to any extreme to achieve their goal.

    Maybe the “silent majority” should start to be “not so silent.”

      I think it is wrong to equate globalists to those who is the garb of political correctness and humanism pander to PoVs which are in denial of hard facts which the Islamic world is plagued by.

      The far right operates on obsolete ideologies tied to race and an incoherent jingoism which has no place in the modern world.

      That being said it is unsubstantiated and unfair to claim that those in favour of more stringent immigration policies are driven by xenophobia.

      Academic discourse often attempts to pigeonhole political criticism in one way or another and this hallmark of modern discourse in the liberal arts bears testament to the decline of free thinking in the liberal arts in consonance with trivial and shallow outbursts on social media which is fast becoming a platform for democracy’s decline to plebocracy.

    Friends, If Trump is not elected, there will be millions more Muslims flooding the US and Sharia is certain. I implore you: vote Trump to save the country. One the numbers of Muslims in this country increases where they can swing elections, you will have a permanent Leftist-Green Alliance. This is a wake up call. Final call. He is losing badly and the Woke White has abandoned him.

    Again, vote for him. He is different from the gutless Republicans. Ask Robert Spencer. He knows.

    A very insightful article which brings the absolute BS of the mainstream media into focus.
    Such a concerted effort to mislead the population has to be orchestrated by a small group of twisted men using division of the population to gain the upper hand to achieve what??? Total control?
    It’s not a if all the MSM at together having a beer and decided to do this.
    Someone is pulling the strings!!!

    ……………

    Yes–this story shows how absurd claims that the “far-right” is a greater threat. Thank you.

    Personally I’m not so sure about the juxtaposition of right-wing extremism to mohamedanism. To me, it seems as if a false opposition is created between the ‘far right’ as we are accustomed to view it, and mohamedanism. For some reason or another, I can not bring myself to say that mohamedanism is not right wing. It may be that I missed out on something, but if you ask me, mohamedanism is extremely conservative. Conservatism, furthermore, would ordinarily be qualified as being a quality of the political right. And insofar as mohamedanism is extremely conservative and, in addition, extremely violent in and of itself, I would venture to say that mohamedanism is ‘right-wing extremism’, in view of which the aforementioned juxtaposition is a false one. As a matter of fact, I believe that the German government recently requalified (part of) mohamedanism as ‘right wing extremism’ (but I’m not completely sure of that). I guess the Germans are still good at math, as in ‘you do the math’.

    Of course this does not mean that it would be smart to stop discriminating (ooops!) between the two. Or am I now saying the thing that is not?

      Joe, it is more that Germany is blaming the right wing for violence actually done by Muslims, a different matter.

    So called Right wing are noy terrorists but loyal and patriotic citizens fighting against Jihadis. The authorities wiuld prefer all that to themselves, as they did for tens of thousands of English girls – Until the EDL protested, which immediately made EDL as Right Wing .
