We have seen random stabbings by jihadis in the West many times. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
Might that have anything to do with this incident? Possibly, but given the determination of the Western political and media elites to downplay and whitewash the jihad threat, we may never know for sure.
The perpetrator apparently arrived in Sweden in 2018:
Mannen flyttade till Vetlanda från en närliggande ort för knappt ett år sedan. Enligt folkbokföringen skrevs han i Sverige 2018.

“Man injures eight with axe in Vetlanda, Sweden before being shot, arrested,” ABC News Australia, March 3, 2021 (thanks to the RAIR Foundation):
Swedish police say a man armed with an axe attacked and injured eight people before being shot and arrested.
“In the light of what has emerged so far in the police investigation, prosecutors have initiated a preliminary investigation into terrorist crimes,” he said.
Shortly after his statement, investigators at a police press conference said they had started a preliminary investigation into attempted murder with details “that make us investigate any terrorist motives”.
“But at the moment I cannot go into details,” regional police chief Malena Grann said.
The situation was under control and there were no indications that anyone else was involved in the attack in the town of Vetlanda, 340 kilometres south of the capital Stockholm.
Some of the victims were in a serious condition and the suspect, a man in his 20s, was hospitalised after his arrest, a police spokesman told a news conference.
Local police chief Jonas Lindell said “it seems that the injuries are not life-threatening” but could not give further details.
His motive was not immediately known.
Officials did not provide details on the identity of the suspect. The man was previously known to police for minor crimes, the spokesman said.
The events took place in downtown Vetlanda with police saying they got calls about a man assaulting people with an axe.
Police also said there were five crime scenes in the town of roughly 13,000….
Michael Copeland says
Could it be that unnamed “extremist ideology”?
You know, the one blamed for the multiple killing in Reading UK?
“…the defendant believed in carrying out this attack he was acting in pursuit of an extremist ideology he appears to have held for some time. He believed killing as many people as possible, he was performing an act of religious jihad.”
Yes. That must be it.

Sweden: Man injures 8 people with axe, reportedly arrived in Sweden in 2018, possible ‘terrorist motive’
…………….
Y’think?

It is ow “quite normal” that Swedish people are attacked in Sweden. Sweden has more and more muslim politicians in the government and more and more cities destroyed.
The most terrirble situation is in Malmoe which is the third (once the most wonderful) city in Sweden.
The US must do something not to be destroyed by the communists and muslims otherwise there will be no United States of America
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
Rod says
Could it be an Islamic State terrorist attack? Well, there is no indication of this in any of the Swedish or English reports of the incident, so we must just hope for the best, and avidly devour the long unrelated “supporting” statement fro many years ago, which is probably entirely irrelevant.
Can Spencerphobia get any sillier than this?
Meanwhile, white American terrorists are reportedly planning another deadly attack on the US Capitol, in support of the weird US belief that democracy can be achieved, not from the result of an old-fashioned election, but from the barrel of an assault weapon.
gravenimage says
“Rod’s” pretending that the only Jihad is from the Islamic State is of course ludicrous. The Qur’an tells Muslims to “strike at the necks” of Infidels–it does not say this is just for members of ISIS.
And “Rod” desperately hopes he distract from an axe attack by slinging rumors. Just absurd.
gravenimage says
Note that gary fouse, below, confirms that the perp is Muslim.
Rod says
The word “Muslim” is strangely absent, but who cares? This is, after all, the Spencer fancyfest, where facts are always unwelcome.
You can always write in “Muslim” if you need to, and here, we surely do! As often as possible.
(But don’t mention armed terrorists at the Capitol, please.)
gravenimage says
Aghanistan is virtually 100% Muslim, of course. “Rod” hopes we don’t know that.
Ecosse1314 says
Where are YOUR facts about armed terrorists at the Capitol. That 7 people were stabbed is a fact do you have facts??
Giacomo Latta says
Perhaps Rod can explain to us how muslims are not not necessarily Islamic. Or is it the other way around? Rod has enough difficulty explaining his own beliefs let alone reality.

“Sweden: Man who injured eight people with an axe is Muslim migrant from Afghanistan”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/03/sweden-man-who-injured-eight-people-with-an-axe-is-muslim-migrant-from-afghanistan
Rod says
It’s curious that all the reports I see are concerned with the number and welfare of the victims, not with the nationality, let alone the religion of the perpetrator. Except of course, here, and only here where the word Muslim has such a weird power to befuddle your tiny minds, and is of such overwhelming importance. Sick!
Folks, you are bigots.
Has it occurred to you that as an Afghan in his twenties (if he is an Afghan), for his entire life, heavily armed foreigners have been rampaging around in his country killing people. For no clear reason, with no worthwhile result. Maybe the man has been traumatised by his experiences.
I know most of you are used to armed men rampaging about kilkling people, but in your case they are good, patriotic fellow Americans. That, apparently, is acceptable.
And, if you knew anything about Afghanistan, you would know that Afghan doesn’t necessarily mean Islamic. Ignorance is of course essential for bigotry.
Rod says
It took me a while to work it out, Pinocchio, but now I see it. We can be sure you are right to say the man is a Muslim. Why? Because Jihadwatch says he is a Muslim. No evidence necessary.
It’s like Trump being right about Covid because Trump says so. That’s good enough for any true Republican, and they will die to prove it. Many did.

…………………….
There would *be no victims* if Sweden were not allowing hordes of violent Mohammedans to flood into their formerly civilized nation. That “Rod” is pretending that there was no perpetrator here is grotesque–did the axe wield itself?.
More:
Folks, you are bigots.
…………………….
We think it is a bad thing that eight innocent people were injured in an axe attack and that makes us bigots?
I suppose so, as “Rod” would have it–note that “Rod” has *nothing* critical to say about this hideous attack. No surprise there…

…………………….
Where to start? Firstly, if Afghans are reasonably apt as “Rod” implies to attack us with axes then perhaps it is a bad idea for us to import them. Then, the idea that the ousting of the Taliban would make Afghans want to murder Westgerners is troubling in itself. Then, Sweden had nothing to do with ousting the Taliban–but it is apparently fine with “Rod” that he is trying to murder them for this anyway.
Finally, the whole thing is absurd. Islam mandates the slaughter of Infidels, regardless.
Then, his sneering at the perp being Afghan is very bizarre. Aftonbladet has confirmed his being an Afghan migrant who arrived in Sweden in 2018. Why would they lie? This is a reputable news source.
More:

This happened in Sweden, not the United States, and the perp is not an American as “Rod” here implies.
Until recently, Sweden was perhaps the safest country in the world. Now, with the huge influx of Muslims there, not so much.

And, if you knew anything about Afghanistan, you would know that Afghan doesn’t necessarily mean Islamic. Ignorance is of course essential for bigotry.
…………………….
Non-Muslims in Afghanistan make no more than .3% of the population. Is “Rod’ *really* trying to flog the idea that this perp is probably a ‘filthy Infidel’? Absurd.

Giacomo Latta says
”And, if you knew anything about Afghanistan, you would know that Afghan doesn’t necessarily mean Islamic.”
I assume you are counting the foreign do-gooders as non-muslim. Otherwise, your statement that Afghanistan is full of other religions (it is 99% muslim, by the way) is the claim of a totally blind idiot. Afghanistan formally calls itself the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan for your information, assuming you’ve read this far.
Take pride in this. I am sure if a poll were taken among us ”bigots” (formerly ”racists”) as to who is the biggest idiot to this website you would win in a cakewalk.

Hey, Ecosse, you told me once about your Greek heritage. Your remarkable reasoning powers (see above) suggest that you might indeed be a direct descendant of Sophocles. That’s something to be proud of. Keep up the rationalising. We should all do what we’re good at.

“Three of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, while another two were said to be in a ‘serious condition.”
The Swedish PM said: “We are facing these heinous acts with the collective power of society.”
Always that “We, the people.”
Last time, after I made a total mess out of my job out of cheer incompetence, I told my boss:
“We, the people, you and I, the whole factory with our collective power are facing this act..”
He fired me on the spot for daring to use those empty words that masked my incompetence.

The sad part is their so called prophet most likely never existed. The KSA knows that is the case other wise they would not be bull dozing the graves of Muhammad’s alleged companions to build sky scrapers. The only Muhammad you will find in history is probably Abd al-Malik bin Marwan’s younger sibling. The Abbasids took these characters and created their narrative (the one around today – over the next 200 -300 years). So if Mecca did not exist, then Muhammad, as mentioned in the Sunnah and the Sira did not exist either. Mecca appears at about the same time the Abbasids took power from the Umayyads. So all these people are being attacked by people who have been conned. As I said the KSA knows this but says nothing. They should be held responsible for all Jihadi attacks…

Walter Sieruk says
The jihadist or jihadists attacks on people of Western nations ,as in this case of Sweden be the Muslim terrorists in the cities Stockholm, London, Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military.
Walter Sieruk says
That brutal , violent vicious jihad- minded Muslim migrant who deliberately and maliciously injured those people ,no doubt with murderous intent needs to be severely punished.
Walter Sieruk says
That brutal ,cruel jihad-minded Muslim migrant who viciously injured eight Swedish people with an axe is of ,course terrible.
Furthermore many Muslim jihad/murder attacks in Sweden as well as the other nations of Europe ,as France has been proven to be strongly linked to the large number of male Muslim migrants may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter France to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life.
The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature, they have this evil nature because of their brutal violent, and even murderous religion.
. Such violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
