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

Austria: Vienna jihad murderer wanted to commit jihad massacre at Catholic youth group, couldn’t get into building

Dec 1, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

Nothing that a bit of “dialogue,” won’t fix, eh, Pope Francis?

“Terrorist had his sights set on Catholic youth group,” translated from “Terrorist hatte katholische Jungschar im Visier,” Kronen Zeitung, November 27, 2020 (thanks to Gates of Vienna):

The background to the attack warning on local churches is frightening: it was issued because the IS killer wanted to cause a bloodbath of the Catholic youth group in the Ruprechtskirche during a prayer evening in Vienna! The Islamist failed, however, because of a door that was locked by a timer …

As reported, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) is strengthening the protection of local churches during the Advent and Christmas season. The details behind the security alarm are – despite the public prosecutor’s silence – shocking: According to “Krone” research, 17 children and young people of a Catholic youth group escaped a catastrophe by a hair!

Terrorist wanted to massacre in church

While they were holding a – not public – prayer hour in the Ruprechtskirche in the heart of Vienna, the IS killer wanted to enter with an assault rifle and pistol. But he failed, because the entrance was closed with a time lock. Seconds later, the assassin was “shot down” by WEGA officials in front of the city’s oldest church. The “November 2nd Investigation Group” has already questioned the shocked boys and girls.

Meanwhile, it became known that the Commission’s interim report investigating possible counter-terrorism mishaps would be published before Christmas.

Talks with representatives from several departments have already been agreed for the coming week.

Archdiocese spokesman: “You reacted with presence of mind”

The spokesman for the Archdiocese of Vienna, Michael Prüller, described the situation on the evening of the terrorist attack on Friday afternoon. The 17 young people escaped the attacker by turning off the lights when the first shots were fired. “You reacted with presence of mind and holed up,” Prüller reported. The young people stayed in the dark until 2.30 a.m. on Tuesday. Then the police gave the all-clear and the 17 boys and girls could go home.

    There is a dispute within the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) about how to deal with political Islam – critics accuse the party of downplaying Islamism

    Roland Fürst, the Social Democratic Party’s (SPÖ) regional manager for the federal state of Burgenland, criticises his own party for its stance in the debate on Islamism.”I have always wondered about the ignorance within the SPÖ towards the advocates of political Islam. For me, as a left-wing and rational social democrat, this was completely incomprehensible and not compatible with the values of the Social Democrats,” says Fürst to the newspaper “Presse”.

    For him, criticism of Islamism is not “anti-migrant”, because it is a criticism of a “fascist ideology”. He now wanted to make an appeal to the “enlightened left”, said Fürst.

    The increasing accusations of “Islamophobia” have already had an effect on this side. Even cabaret artists today would think twice before mentioning Islam or the Prophet Mohammed.But it is not acceptable that the exponents of political Islam manage to immunise society against criticism of religion. This could also be done by means of pressure groups at the universities, says Fürst, who himself taught at a university of applied sciences for a long time.The fact that the SPÖ voted in parliament in 2019 against the dissolution of the Islamist associations Atib and Milli Görüs had upset him. “Social democracy must decide internationally and nationally to make a clear commitment to the fight against political Islam.But Fürst concedes that there is already a greater understanding of the problem within social democracy. “There is now a more open discussion.” Now there is also criticism of those who used to label others – like him – simply as critics of Islam who exaggerate.

    4 days in the dark for those kids Literally and in the sense of not knowing when they could go home. But, at least they are all alive and the terrorist is dead.

    ………………

    Just terrifying–so glad the Church locked the door.

    I remember when Churches were unlocked all night long in case someone wanted to come in to pray or just to have a few moments of peace. That this is no longer possible is sad–but not as sad as having all these children murdered would have been.

      The Churches will end up locked forever as the globalists continue to import Jihadis purposefully and by the thousands… and “yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service”.

    “…Michael Prüller, described the situation on the evening of the terrorist attack on Friday afternoon.

    1. No, they didn’t escape the attack by “turning off the lights”: According to the account given above, the would-be attacker couldn’t get into the building and was shot dead seconds later. Turning the lights off had zip to do with it.

    Hiding inside the building – (it that’s what actually happened) – for a further four days is just an hysterical over-reaction. Why would they do that – who was telling them to stay inside when there was plainly no threat ?

    Young people are a target: remember Beslan.
    The Hyper Cacher Killer in France had first decided to make a mass shooting at a primary school. He was questioned by a policewoman on his way to conduct the massacre. To solve his problem he shot her dead. Being then on the run, and with limited time, he switched to a different target, the Kosher supermarket.

      School teachers in Israel openly carry guns. The threat of attack is not minor.

    Naïve Pope Francis is culpably negligent in refusing to learn the jihad doctrine. He puts millions of his naïve followers at risk. He puts everyone caught in the line of fire at risk as well.

    Only a well-informed church can ideologically oppose and refute Islam. Islam is based on the Koran which is clearly a man-made document filled with human errors and outright stupidity.
