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

Switzerland: Man converts to Islam, uses martial arts school to recruit for the Islamic State

Sep 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 9 Comments

Where did the “Emir of Winterthur” learn about his new religion? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not? Why do so many converts to Islam somehow get the idea that their new religion calls upon them to commit acts of violence against unbelievers? Despite the fact that this keeps happening, authorities in Switzerland and everywhere else show no interest whatsoever in this phenomenon.

“Two men sentenced in Swiss ISIS trial,” SwissInfo, September 11, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Switzerland’s top criminal court has sentenced a 34-year-old Muslim convert to 50 months in jail for recruiting on behalf of the Islamic State.

The Federal Criminal Court found the accused – known in the media as the “Emir of Winterthur” – guilty of recruiting young people to fight as part of the Islamic State in Syria. A martial arts school was used as a recruiting ground. Prior to that the man had visited Syria in 2013….

His co-defendant, a 37-year-old Swiss-Macedonian dual national, was convicted only of participation in a criminal organisation. He was acquitted of sexual acts with a child, depiction of violence and pornography, with which he was also charged….

      There is a slight possibility this man’s madness originated in the gym. Speaking from repeated personal experience.
      All the deep breathing necessarily required to exercise with weights, pumps oxygen round the body, into the muscles, and also deep into the brain cells.
      After an hour of pumped oxygen, the brain starts spontaneously fantasizing. All.kinds of weird, unexpected ideas hidden in the brain cells start emerging into consciousness. Of course, it really doesn’t matter, these ideas are usually incoherent and nonsensical. Unless you start taking them seriously.

        Rufolino,

        A heavy aerobic workout also releases endorphins which improves mood and psychological health.

        I’ve gotten some of my best ideas while swimming laps at the local YMCA…

        Islamism is a death sentence to the world! When what was good becomes evil and evil becomes good life as we know it is over! NO SHARIA LAW IN AMERICA!

    It’s funny but it seems some islamic apologists seem to be obsessed with gyms,bodybuilding etc like muhammed “hey boi,look at my muscles” hijab with his {pretty obvious} homoerotic bondage fantasies.Weird.

    The Left has an axe to grind against the so called right. How else would they not see the difference in Islam and the Bible. The former uses murder as a tool against (non-Muslims) The biblical example is perhaps only one in old testament and another in new testament. The New Testament case was undertaken by religious zealots against their own and not against non-Jews.

    On the contrary, the non-Jews were given state protection in Israel, in line with God’s principle that all humans are created in God’s image. It was practiced in Israel 3500 years ago and very nations would have had anything remotely close to this.

    Aren’t Islam and Christianity opposites? But we continue to hear from Left that both Islam and Christianity are so “similar and are violent religions”.

    ………………

    Why does this sort of thing keep happening? You might almost think that Islam is not a religion of peace…

    It appears that many of these men are anti-social and mis-fits from the society they live in. Islam like most cults gives them the feeling of belonging and a sense of power and defiance of the society around them. That also explains why recruitment to Islam works so well in prisons.
