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

Spain: Muslim migrants preparing explosives for jihad massacre in Barcelona are thwarted and arrested

Aug 3, 2020 2:00 pm By Faisal Malik

In Spain, a peaceful tourist attraction was close to becoming the site of a devastating jihad attack. The perpetrators were of Algerian descent. They were preparing for a jihad attack by making explosive devices. Spanish authorities also stated the jihadis were learning how to obtain weapons for further destruction. Fortunately, the Spanish authorities were able to track their activity and neutralize the jihadis as part of operation Alexandria.

According to Al Jazeera, 16 suspected Islamic State (ISIS) fighters have been arrested in Spain since the beginning of the year. The Spanish authorities should be commended for their work for arresting the jihadis before they acted. Spain is becoming a major target of  jihad, as the jihadis do not want to allow the kaffirs to remain in control of land that was dominated by the Muslims for nearly eight centuries. We always hear from Islamic apologists and Marxists that Medieval Spain was the site of the Golden Age of Islam. This is far from the truth; it was actually a place where the killing of blasphemers and the stoning adulterers were practiced. It was also where Muslims took infidel girls and women as sex slaves, and the list can go on. The reality of Islamic Spain was persecution of non-Muslims. Some Muslims now want to repeat the conquest of Spain that enabled that persecution. Muslims didn’t enter Spain for reasons of self-defence or because they wanted to engage in peaceful dawah. The Muslim entry into Spain was a jihadi invasion, as is instructed in the Koran (9:29); the goal is to subjugate non-believers and establish Islamic law. A fantastic and really insightful book to read about the jihad in Spain is Robert Spencer’s The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS.

I don’t really see any mainstream Muslims actually condemning this potential jihad attack. Instead, they continue to try to inform non-Muslim audiences that Islam and Sharia are amazing. The reason why these jihadis wanted to orchestrate this terrorist attack was to make the non-Muslims to capitulate under Islam and to feel the force of Islam. We must address the motivating ideology of what inspired the jihadis. Mohammed stated that he has ‘’been made victorious through terror’’ (Sahih Bukhari 2977) and Muslims are ordered to strike “terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved” (Surah 8:12). Also, the Koran states in surah 9:5: “Slay the non-believers wherever you find them”, and in 8:39 it states “get rid of fitnah and make religion all for Allah”. None of this is peaceful at all; the real reason why these jihad attacks are being facilitated is because of Islam, the motivating ideology behind efforts for the destruction of Western civilization.

Authorities in Europe need to stop bowing to political correctness and begin working more energetically to prevent these jihad attacks and preserving the well-being of their citizens.

    All Spaniards and Portuguese as well as half the native French have Arabic, Berber, African, and Turkish Koranimal blood in them, hence, IMHO, the rampant Islamophilia in the Iberian Peninsula and France.

    • Red Pill says

      That’s bullsh*t:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_the_Iberian_Peninsula#Main_genetic_compositions

      “DNA analysis shows that Spanish and Portuguese populations are most closely related to other populations of western Europe.”, there may exist some north African blood but it is a minority.

      • Ramez says

        Aug 3, 2020 at 3:28 pm

        Then, explain why tens of millions of Levantines and North Africans are blue-eyed, non-black-haired, and pink-skinned — case in point: Bashar El-Assad and a kid of his. By contrast, only a minority of the Iberians and French are blue-eyed, pink-skinned, and fair-haired.

        FFS, even the army of Hannibal, a Carthaginian general, invaded South Western Europe in the Second Punic War, killing and raping their way all the way up to the Alps and beyond.

        • Ramez says

          Aug 3, 2020 at 3:33 pm

          More to the point, the current Tunisian President is whiter than France’s Macron.

          https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TPbPrsXfuU4

          Fact is, any self-proclaimed Westerner or Eastern European who doesn’t have blue eyes, pink skin, and fair hair has Koranimal blood in them.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 3, 2020 at 5:05 pm

          A lot of North Africans are indeed natively quite light-skinned–this does not mean, somehow, that Europeans are hence all African. I’m not even sure how this reasoning would work.

          Those Africans north of the Sahara have always been fairly light-skinned, or olive skinned at most. They are not really dark as are sub-Saharan Africans.

          There has definitely been some interbreeding between North Africans and Europeans–and much of this dates back centuries before Islam. For instance, Hannibal did not just rape and pillage his way through Europe–he spent many years in Iberia, much of which was ruled by Carthage.

          By the way, Hannibal himself from depictions didn’t differ in looks much from the Romans he fought.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal#/media/File:Mommsen_p265.jpg

          And today, most Muslims in North Africa are the descendants of the people who lived there before the invasion of Islam.

          And no–the idea that any European who doesn’t have blue eyes and fair hair has Muslim blood makes no sense at all. This would mean that virtually all ancient Greeks and Romans were–somehow–all Muslims. To say this is ahistorical is an understatement.

          In fact, even in places in the far north of Europe blue eyes and fair hair is not the absolute norm. The Celts, for instance, while fair skinned were usually dark-haired.

          Carthage was long before to invasion of N Africa by the Muslims. It was founded by the Phoenicians who were not Arabs. Long before even the alleged birth of Christ in fact. You need to read some history before you start with sweeping and incorrect statements
          Also genetic information does not lie nor does it pass on religious affiliations

      Hi. I think you don’t know what you’re talking about. The genetic characteristics in the Iberian peninsula are 100% corrected with the ancient Christian kingdoms (Castilla, Navarra, Aragon, Portugal …). The autochthonous Iberian population is heir to the Celtiberians, Basques, Romans and Visigoths. The Arab and Berber population was very scarce despite being in the peninsula for centuries and were expelled. You must remember that Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men, but Muslim men do. All their offspring were expelled except for a few converts. Yes, there is Iberian genetics in the North African population because the Andalusian population was made up mainly of people who converted to Islam over the centuries. The North African footprint in Iberia predates the Muslim invasions. https://www.google.com/search?q=mapa+genetico+españa&oq=mapa+gebetico+españa&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l4.3880j0j7&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc = b

      Firstly, Ramez, this claim about Iberians and French is *very* questionable–genetically these peoples are mostly European. Then, Barcelona in the north of Spain was under Muslim conquest for only a few short decades–the region was freed by the Franks in 801 AD–so Spaniards in this region likely have very little North African blood.

      Then, genetics *do not* determine beliefs as you seem to think. For one thing, if they did, then you yourself never would have been able to leave Islam as you have.

      Finally, while there is sadly a lot of dhimmitude in Spain and France, authorities in Barcelona stopping this Jihad terror attack is *not* an example of this.

      • Ramez says

        Aug 3, 2020 at 5:14 pm

        Gravenimage, your first comment on this thread is strikingly convincing.

        I stand corrected.

          Thank you, Ramez. I respect your input here, even if I disagreed on this one point.

          GreekEmpress, getting a DNA test is something I’d like to do, just out of curiosity–but I think it’s going to have to wait until things are a bit more financially stable.

      80% of indigenous Brits have Iberian ancestry. They traded with the Irish by ship…hence the ‘black Irish’ in turn they moved to the main isle. Btw, millions of British men have DNA linked to the Ancient Egyptians.

    Do our dumbass governments not know that they are endangering our lives by importing these characters into our countries?

    They should all go to jail, along with the psycho jihadis. And yes, in the same cell. We have to put up with their intimidation on the streets and in the markets – the government should get a taste of that in their day-to-day.

      They should be send back and their entry blocked forever.

      If Spanish authorities are smart they will understand that a muslim re-restoration of the Iberian peninsula would be a great momentous event for Islam. Unfortunately, for that reason, they might find themselves as target number two, right after Israel.

    OT – SPAIN – Former king Juan Carlos leaves Spain amid financial scandal

    […] alleged role in a scandal over a multi-billion-dollar contract with Saudi Arabia.

    […]In March, the Swiss daily Tribune de Geneve alleged that in 2008 he had received 100 million dollars from Saudi king Abdallah via an offshore account.

    =================================================
    King Juan Carlos Of Spain Created Foundation To Hide Saudi Money

    […] lawyer Dante Canónica, revealed in a statement to the Swiss prosecutor, that Juan Carlos ordered the creation of a foundation in order to conceal a “significant donation” he was going to receive from the Saudi king.

    […]Yves Bertossa, the prosecutor, estimates the “donation” to have been around 100 million dollars

    […]Canonica explained to the prosecutor that they finally met with the Saudi ambassador to the United States, who told him and Fasana that the money was a “pure gift” and advanced a range of between 20 and 100 million dollars.

    […]The statement comes after the news yesterday that the retired king had “gifted” his former lover Corinna Larsen millions of dollars to purchase properties.

    Spain: Muslim migrants preparing explosives for jihad massacre in Barcelona are thwarted and arrested

    It doesn’t matter what petty BS is going on in the background with the King and the Saudis. The important thing is that the common grunts in the Spanish police were able to stop another attack by these murdering retards.
    This is good news!

      After their trial, they should be brought out into the middle of the Bull RIng and taken care of by matadors and then have their ears cut off as trophies.
      Ole!
