But obviously the mosque was not monitored well enough. And he was well known to security services but still running around loose and not being watched. This shows yet again that existing counterterror efforts are simply not adequate to deal with the real threat.
“CALL TO ARMS Vienna shooting: ISIS gunman ‘sent Charlie Hebdo massacre vid to accomplices’ hours before slaughtering 4,” by Henry Holloway, The Sun, November 3, 2020:
…At least 14 people have been arrested in 18 raids as more than 1,000 cops were deployed to probe the case.
Detectives are probing a now closed Instagram account which they consider “likely” to have belonged the attacker, reports Bild.
The German daily also reported cops investigating the two recipients of the Charlie Hebdo video as part of the case….
ISIS urged jihadis to “spill the blood of Crusaders” in “revenge” for cartoons in an “incendiary campaign”….
The picture is starting to emerge of Fejzulai, a 20-year-old who held dual citizenship in Austria and North Macedonia.
It emerged he was well known to security services, having previously been jailed after travelling to the Middle East to join ISIS.
Interior minister Karl Nehammer confirmed Fejzulai was an “ISIS sympathiser” and he had been released early from prison due to his young age….
He also pledged allegiance to ISIS leader “The Professor” Abdullah Qardash, who was appointed after the US killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
And he is said to have posted pictures of bullets and declared the ISIS “remains and is expanding” – a popular phrase among supporters of the group since its collapse as a state in the Middle East.
Falter reported he was in prison for just seven and a half months – less than half of his 22 month sentence – after being caught trying to join ISIS in 2019.
It reported he became radicalised as a teenager as he dealt with problems at school and at home, with his family not being strictly religious.
He is reported to have become a member of a mosque which was already being monitored by security services.
Fejzulai is reported to have admitted he had “got into the wrong mosque” when he appeared before a judge in 2019….
Fejzulai was being monitored by the security services, but was not deemed to be a domestic terror threat….

They’re never deemed to be any kind of ‘terror threat’, and when they slaughter multiple innocent people in the street, it’s all ‘mental illness made them do it’.
I wonder how long it will be before the austrian authorities’ start singing that old song…

Only at the point of the executioner’s sword. Then it will be too late.
Rufolino says
If Austrian counter-terror measures were “adequate” the Moslem community would certainly get upset and protest at the “islamophobia” .
So naturally, counter-terror measures will remain inadequate.
Until eventually people take “counter-terror measures” into their own hands, and civil conflict begins.
Eva says
Honestly? No.
Not without a miracle.

Austria: Jihad murderer was well known to security services and member of a mosque that was monitored
……………………..
We see how well *that* worked…
Daniel Triplett says
John Gotti and his crew would discuss business outdoors in the street in a huddle because they knew they were being monitored and surveilled in their hangouts and telephones.
In the same way, monitoring mosques is a farce. The Muslims will work around it. All this does is give a dangerous false sense of security to the local Kafirs that the local Muslims are practicing the fictional “The Religion of Peace” non-radical version of Islam.
Crusader 666 says
When will the “authorities” realize that de-radicalization programs have a 100% failure rate, everywhere.
They have no intention of integrating, or working for a living
The only way forward is for the authorities to surround a Jihadi breeding colony, with a massive armed force, at 3 A.M., force everyone in the area into trucks to the nearest port, and ship them to North Africa,
It is only by disrupting THEIR colonies that we will keep them off-balance, just like they are keeping us off-balance with their endless random violence.
Fred van de Bunt says
Government, like God, sees, hears and knows everything. That is what they say.
But we want to live free, so government cannot drag every suspicious citizen of the street and make him disappear, or disappear forever.
We also wanted mass immigration, so government arranged that. And even if we do not want mass immigration from certain parts in the world anymore, then government continue to follow this policy, since government knows what is best for us.
Of course one can criticise this adagium, “what is best for us”, because we live in an open society, but critics will be demonized, scandalized, excommunicated, and fought against with unproven theories and religious dogma’s, like the belief in the ideal end of days society, the divers multicultural society, were all the people, with all their own values, beliefs and government models can live peacefully together. We have to progress, be progressive.

What you see here are the beauties of brainwashing and indoctrination, pure indoctrinated fanaticism
Those members of this cult who speak/ publish such bad things about us the infidels in their books, and what they should do to us and what should become of us and how to treat us, are offended by cartoons from us of the one who wrote all those aggressive insulting things about US!
Whose Sovereignty?
Whose Law?
Whose Freedom of Speech?
Who do they think that they are?
So who protects those who don’t want any more to do with Islam from Islam?
Who protects those who don’t believe in Islam from Islam?
Who protects those who speak against Islam from Islam?
OLD GUY says
Yes anti-terrorism agencies are not equipped to follow and watch all of the islamic people in your country. The only way to prevent these terrorist acts is to close your borders to Muslim/islamic people. If you allow the enemy to infiltrate your population, you expose your self to these kind of attacks from within. This Idea of global open borders is vary dangerous.
