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

Jihadis behind two plots a month in Europe, tens of thousands of Islamic State jihadis are scattered throughout EU

Oct 2, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 9 Comments

Is this really a surprise, given the recklessness of the European Union’s immigration policy?

While European officials are foiling jihad plots on a regular basis, there is no system in place to stop Islamic supremacist preaching and jihad conquest messages from spreading. It is likely that such a system is not put in place out of fear of accusations of “Islamophobia.” Too many Western leaders have chosen dhimmitude over this “loathsome” label.

“Extremists behind two plots a month in Europe since ISIS defeat,” by Paul Peachey, The National, September 27, 2020:

Extremists have been behind two plots a month in Europe since ISIS was driven out of its last stronghold in Syria, according to a new report.

The loss of Baghouz in March 2019 ended the use of Syria as a base to launch ISIS attacks abroad but did not lead to “enduring defeat” and it continues to operate around the globe, according to the UK-based Counter Extremism Group.

Tens of thousands of extremists scattered around Europe have not disappeared despite the group’s loss of power, it warned.

The attacks in Europe have left 12 dead and 39 injured with France, the UK and Germany the countries most targeted. Most of the attacks were carried out by terrorists acting alone. Knives were most likely to have been used rather than guns and bombs.

The study published on Sunday identified 33 plots – of which two-thirds were thwarted by authorities – over the 15-month period.

The most-deadly attack was in Paris in 2019 when Mickael Harpon, a convert to Islam, stabbed to death four people as part of an attack at a French police station.

The computer worker was shot dead but it later emerged that colleagues had warned about his increasingly radical views.

The loss of leaders and credibility has meant that ISIS is more reliant on inspiring attacks than directing them.

The study – Europe and the Fall of the Caliphate – said that a cell broken up in January in France had reportedly recorded pledges of support to ISIS as they allegedly targeted a military site and Chinese New Year celebrations. The alleged ringleader was a Syrian refugee with links to ISIS who arrived in France in 2015.

With the loss of territory, the report said extremists would look for new ways to spread their world view and exert influence….

    Despite the prodigious denials by the left muslims are doing what they do best, terrorizing and subverting for allah. That’s it, that’s all that needs to be said. The proof is in the violence muslims do every day around the world.

      Yes, the proof is that there are an average of 5 jihad attacks every day in which a total of up to 50 people are killed.

      The European countries have to address the SOURCE of jihadism … its IDEOLOGY.

      Only an IDEOLOGICAL WAR AGAINST ISLAM ITSELF will remove JIHADISM from the world.

      Jihadists stop fighting when they realize the Koran is of human origin.

        Let’s see, do the math:

        It’s about one person every 30 minutes – about the time that it takes to have a cup of coffee, some scrambled eggs, and a cheese Danish.

        Over and over – non-stop…

    Islamism pundit warns: High number of undetected Taliban terrorists in Austria

    The inhabitants of the city of Wels are shocked. The suspected Taliban terrorist has been in the country since 2012. At the beginning of the week, the Afghan was finally arrested by the special unit Cobra. In an interview with Irfan Peci, an expert on Islamism, he explains that the danger with the arrest of this single suspected Taliban is far from being averted.Irfan Peci used to be an Islamist himself and knows how seductive the promises made by radical groups can be to young migrants. Today he is a staunch opponent of Islamization. Recently he revealed the connections between the Vienna Migrants Party SÖZ and Erdogan’s AKP. He is certain: the problem is uncontrolled immigration from Islamic countries.

    Irfan Peci explains that the arrest of this single Islamist does not eliminate the danger. He suspects that due to immigration there are a large number of Islamists among us. Irfan Peci: “We know that there is a considerable number of Islamists among the so-called refugees. So terror suspects, Islamists and terrorists are increasingly among them. The estimated number of unreported cases must be large. But we cannot measure how many of these Taliban fighters are in our country. These people were checked too little or not at all when they arrived in 2015 and before. We therefore know nothing about these people.”The problem of this uncontrolled immigration of asylum seekers is also evident in the case of the Wels terror Taliban, Peci said. It is “remarkable that the Afghan has been in the country since 2012 and has not been detected”, explains Irfan Peci in conversation. “He was only caught because he was busy on the Internet. He didn’t behave completely conspiratorially, but was conspicuous, carrying out propaganda on the Internet. Peci suspects that if the alleged Taliban had been more restrained, the authorities would still not have been able to catch him.Cases like that of the Taliban in Wels are the most dangerous, because they have already entered the country as ticking time bombs, says Irfan Peci: “He was already a Taliban fighter before. So when he came to the country eight years ago, the Afghan was already highly radicalized and ideologized. He had gained fighting experience and came to Austria. Those are the most dangerous. They are then in the country and can cause a lot of damage here.The Bosnian-born man with a German passport regards the admission of Afghans as problematic in principle. Of course, the number of thwarted attack attempts alone would be sufficient reason not to accept people from countries like Afghanistan. But it is not only Islamism that makes Afghans a problem group: “Especially in Austria, however, Afghans are a large group among the refugees. And they predominantly get negative attention. Because of sexual offences or for example territorial fights with Chechens. In addition, Islamism makes them an additional security risk.The Vice Mayor of Wels, Gerhard Kroiß, is also appalled about the revealed facts: “If the media reports are all quite correct, it is absolutely unacceptable that an asylum procedure in Austria takes eight years. Should the suspect prove guilty, he should be deported, the vice mayor demands: “And not at some point, but immediately! Whoever threatens someone else with violence and death has forfeited his right to remain in Austria.At the latest now the state security is needed to present reliable results of extremist activities in Wels mosques, so that one can take action against them.

      Discriminate immigration is the only sensible method. The citizens have a right to be concerned that security risks and law-breakers do not enter their countries.

      Indiscriminate migration is the problem.

    The many thousands of the jihadists of ISIS who infuriated and spread across and into the many countries of the European Union is, indeed, a serious problem in regards to safety, security and life’s of the European people

    For in the different nations of Europe as a whole 91% of the victims of Islamic violence ,as in many cases deadly Islamic violence .The jihadists use firearms as well as using bombs .Even using themselves as human bombs time bombs ,just waiting to go off in the many cities of Europe . It only takes a few out of many to inflect much murderous harm.

    Those jihadists engaging in Islamic suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for a large part, the outcome the extreme brainwashing that is performed in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrasas. In those jihad mind control places students are thoroughly indoctrinated into the jihadist mindset of committing murderous bombing attacks in the jihad for the advancement of Islam.

    As Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran instructs in 9:111. , for example, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” Therefore, those who come out of those Quran based mind programming centers .mosque and madrasas, are so terribly harmed and damaged that they are literally, as it has be rightfully called, “dangerous to self and others.” This results in jihad suicide /homicide attack in which those jihadists who commit such murderous actions are so very deluded that they think of that jihad mass murders as “martyrdom operations.” This is Islamic delusion of the most heinous and malicious kind.

    This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”

    In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above ,this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.

    The open borders have allowed thousands of young military aged muslims/islamics to infiltrate the EU. These young men are the unarmed invasion force that will disrupt and attack the civilian populations of Europe. Stop the migration invasion.
