Swiss authorities had previously decided that this fellow was mentally ill, so they had put him up in a hotel room and were looking for a place for him in a psychiatric institution. Meanwhile, no one was paying much attention to what he was doing, so he went out and committed this jihad attack. He was “on the radar of the Intelligence Services for suspicion of radicalization since 2017,” but apparently their radar was malfunctioning. Would it have been “Islamophobic” to monitor him more closely? Or are there just so many potentially violent jihadis in Switzerland that the Intelligence Services are overwhelmed?
An update on this story. “Switzerland: Muslim kills Portuguese man in front of kebab shop to ‘avenge the Prophet,'” by John Cody, Remix News, September 17, 2020:
The 29-year-old Turkish-Swiss man accused of murdering a random victim in front of a kebab shop Saturday evening in Morges has confessed to his crime, saying it was justified for “revenge against the Swiss state” and “the Prophet”, revealed Swiss news outlet RTS.
Arrested on Sunday in possession of the murder weapon and a copy of the Quran, he justified his crime by “revenge against the Swiss State” by attacking a man representing its population. He also said it was “to avenge the Prophet”, a source close to the investigation told RTS on Wednesday.
The Portuguese victim, who died at the scene, was a resident in the area and worked for a transport company. He was present with his girlfriend when the attacker murdered him.
Omer A. was considered a danger to the internal and external security of Switzerland since 2017 by the Confederation’s Intelligence Service (SRC) and was also a defendant in an ongoing criminal trial.
According to a law enforcement source, he had an “unstable, potentially violent psychological profile”, and was believed to have “connections with sympathizers of the jihadist cause”.
Due to the threat the man posed, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Confederation (MPC) to ask that he no longer reside in the hotel but that he be placed in a more suitable psychiatric institution.
However, while it is true that no internment, in the formal sense of the term, was requested, the MPC confirmed to the RTS that on Aug. 19 he had sent an e-mail to the Vaud authorities to indicate that the accommodation in a hotel room was not adequate, and a place in a hostel or psychiatric establishment had to be quickly found.
The authorities replied that there was no place available immediately, despite the deterioration of the mental health of the young radicalized and his lack of cooperation in monitoring socio-educational measures. The result is known: left to himself and wandering the streets of Morges, he struck at random on Saturday night.
According to a federal security source, this was an act of a terrorist nature. The young man, psychologically unbalanced, breaking with his Turkish-Swiss family established in western Lausanne, had been actively monitored since 2017 as a radicalized individual.
He was imprisoned in April 2019 after trying to set fire to a gas station in his neighborhood. He was released from prison in July this year, RTS reported. In addition, he escaped the social and psychological net set up by the Public Ministry of the Confederation.
As he was already on the radar of the Intelligence Services for suspicion of radicalization since 2017, it was the Federal Prosecutor’s Office that took up the case and managed his preventive detention….
In the immediate circle, the family refuses to speak out. Ties with the suspect have been severed for over a year. The family, however, regularly collaborated with the police in an attempt to stem the radicalization of Omer.

Remember this? A slick glossy expensive video calling for an Islamic revolution in Switzerland. It seems to have been produced by Balkan and Turkish Muslims. And the narrator’s voice sounds suspiciously like the British beheader Jihad John. Needless to say, the Swiss paid no attention to it. Almost nobody in Switzerland has seen this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46DVrVGP9nw&t=2s

The video was produced by the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland.

REVENGE THE PROPHET? Never heard of that? Whose fault is it, if you never looked for the evidence of Islamic REVENGE KILLING?
-K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”
-K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”
-K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari
-Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-(The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Wage war’ mentioned here means: oppose and contradict, and it includes (opposing) disbelief.”–Tafsir Ibn Kathir “Surat al-Ma’idah [Q 5]”
-K. 2.191 And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
-K.9:11-12 – But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and taunt you for your Faith, – fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained.
-from a Sharia law web site…the “punishment of execution which sharee’ah imposes on everyone who reviles the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), whether he is a Muslim, a dhimmi or a mu’aahid, because transgressing against the status of the Prophets is disbelief in Allaah Almighty, and it invalidates every sanctity, right and covenant; it is a major betrayal which deserves the most severe punishment.
3 – Although this was a hadd punishment, it also comes under the heading of killing a harbi (a non-Muslim in a state of war against Islam), and it is permissible for anyone to kill a harbi. (i.e. vigiliante murder is permitted by Islam)
-Though Muslims live in the West, they still bring the Honor-Shame Paradigm with them. Honor is restored to a Muslim through the shedding of blood. No kafir is ‘innocent’. All kafirs deserve to be killed because they reject Mohammed.

The Police allowed a murder to occur. Sick.
The mentally ill folks are the responsible Police and Judicial authorities.
The killer was a islamic jihadist. Sane as a politician. Fundamentalist following the letter of their tracts.
The system is blind(ed) to the clear danger.
islam is as islam does…
not quite like inviting Sidney Poitier to dinner.
Europe has made a dealy mistake. Sold a lie by sell-outs.

Switzerland: Muslim was carrying Qur’an when he murdered man, says he killed to ‘avenge the Prophet’
………………
The Swiss didn’t even bother to put him in a mental hospital–instead, they put him up at a hotel and apparently let him come and go at will.
Then note that he murdered a random man to “avenge” the “Prophet”. What has Switzerland done to the “Prophet”? There was a ban on new minarets in 2009–it is unclear whether this ban has actually been implemented or not (there have been endless exemptions)–and they do occasionally arrest Jihad terrorists. That’s it. There is full freedom of religion in Switzerland.
But that doesn’t matter–he still felt he had the right to murder any Swiss. (and no, it doesn’t matter that the victim didn’t even turn out to be Swiss).
That authorities left someone *already known to be a Jihadist* free to murder people is utter insanity–but we have heard of this elsewhere in Europe, as well.

He confessed to his crime by saying that it was justified for the prophet . Now how sick is that ? Why is nobody asking the hard questions like ; What did he mean by that ? Did he mean that an innocent life can be taken if the honour of the false prophet is at stake ? And if so , where did he get this idea from ? Could it be from a local mosque and his Imam ? I’m sure that no investigation will be launched on this questions . The same thing happened in the case of young Mila who had been recognized by a follower of the religion of peace , this guy told her that they would rape her and her mother in the name of Allah . Isn’t here the first question that comes to your mind ; What ? A rape in the name of allah ? Where did he get this idea from ? A loving and merciful god as allah that would condone rape ? It can’t be the teaching of the kuran he must be mentally ill . Of course also in this case no investigation was launched and no questions were asked on his threath and what he meant by that . One year suspended sentence that’s all .
