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 […]

Austria: Muslim ‘asylum seekers’ make ‘playful’ mock execution video the day after Vienna jihad massacre

Nov 27, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

Celebrate diversity, you greasy Islamophobes. “Asylum seekers filmed the execution video posted in Lower Austria,” translated from “Asylwerber drehten in NÖ gestelltes Hinrichtungsvideo,” Salzburger Nachrichten, November 26, 2020 (thanks to Medforth): The day after the attack in Vienna, six young Afghan asylum seekers produced and posted an execution video in the Pottendorf Palace Park (Baden […]

Georgetown Features Academic Who Likens Austrian Counter-Terror Measures to Kristallnacht

Nov 24, 2020 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer 7 Comments

My latest in PJ Media: In the wake of the recent jihad attack in Vienna, Austrian authorities are cracking down on Muslim organizations that have been discovered to be exhorting or approving of jihad terror activity – and Georgetown University’s Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative is not happy. On Thursday, it published a weepy self-pitying piece entitled […]

Georgetown’s Bridge Initiative features Muslim academic who likens Austrian counterterror measures to Kristallnacht

Nov 23, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 4 Comments

See? It’s as I’ve been pointing out for years: for the Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative, a program of the Saudis’ bought-and-paid-for Georgetown University, and for highly politicized “academics” such as Farid Hafez, no resistance to the global jihad whatsoever is allowed, no matter how tepid, half-hearted, or fantasy-based. It’s all “Islamophobia.” Meanwhile, this likening of counterterror […]

Islamic Faith Community of Austria complains that counterterror measures foster ‘Islamophobia’

Nov 18, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 18 Comments

This same claim has been advanced in the U.S. and in countries in Europe besides Austria. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find a counterterror measure that an Islamic group did not decry as “Islamophobic,” except for those that deny outright any Islamic content to the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism. This charge […]

Austria’s Kurz and Germany’s Merkel On Collision Course About How to Oppose Jihad Terror

Coming soon: an ideological Anchluss and silencing of the Austrian. My latest in FrontPage: Robert Spencer is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.  The German-language Austrian publication Kronen Zeitung reported Tuesday that Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz flew to Paris in order to “coordinate ‘on a European level’ with French President Emmanuel Macron on […]

EU seeks to crack down on encryption of messaging apps following jihad attacks in Austria and France

Nov 17, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 8 Comments

This violation of privacy by EU globalists creates an appearance of doing something amid their continued avoidance of  a targeted response to jihad terror. It gives sweeping authority to EU governments to snoop on citizens of their choice. If the past is any indicator of where this plan is headed, the surveillance will end up […]

Austria: ‘Devout’ Muslim teen with ties to Islamic State arrested as possible accomplice in Vienna jihad massacre

Nov 12, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments

Against Istiaque A., the child of Muslim migrants, “a terrorist charge was brought before the regional court at the beginning of October. In it, he is accused of having been active for the radical Islamist terrorist militia Islamic State since March 2018 and of supporting the later assassin,” that is, Vienna jihad murderer Kujtim Fezjulai, […]

Austria: Government to ban political Islam, shut down jihadi mosques

Nov 12, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 37 Comments

Expect the usual cries of “Islamophobia” and “collective punishment.” The same people who have been telling us for years that Islam has no essential political component and is perfectly compatible with Western secular government will turn on a dime and insist that to restrict political Islam is to restrict Islam itself, and is thus “racist” […]

Austria: Green Party logo discovered on sponsor board of mosque raided for jihad terror activity

Nov 11, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 9 Comments

Leftist-Islamic alliance in plain sight. “Raid on Islamic center: logo of the Greens on sponsor board,” translated from “Razzia in Islam-Zentrum: Logo der Grünen auf Sponsorentafel,” Info-Direkt, November 9, 2020 (thanks to Medforth): On Monday morning there were 60 house searches against alleged Islamists and their structures in Austria. This also included an Islamic center […]

Austria: 30 Muslims arrested for ties to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, 70 under investigation for jihad terror ties

Nov 11, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

If Muslims with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood were arrested in the United States, the top leadership of some of the principal Muslim groups in the country would be cleared out. Skeptical? See here and here, and that’s just a small part of the available evidence. “‘A strike against breeding ground for extremism’: […]

Austria: Authorities close two mosques that the Vienna jihad murderer attended

Nov 8, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 36 Comments

What’s that? Mosques? But how could this be? Don’t the Muslim clerics in these mosques realize that “Islamist violence and terror like the attack in Vienna on Monday have nothing to do with the religion of Islam itself”? “Austria shuts two mosques attended by Vienna attacker,” AFP, November 7, 2020: VIENNA: The Austrian government has […]

Austria’s Kurz: ‘I expect an end to the wrongly understood tolerance in all European countries’

Nov 8, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 37 Comments

Kurz says: “I expect an end to the wrongly understood tolerance … in all European countries.” He also says that “political Islam” endangers “our freedom” and the “European model of life.” At the same time, however, he says there is only “one culprit” who is guilty of the jihad terror attack in Vienna. Now that […]

Austria: ‘There is a broad consensus that Islamist violence like the attack in Vienna has nothing to do with Islam’

Nov 8, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 30 Comments

Maybe that consensus is broader than it should be. Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220). The Qur’an says: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60) “When […]

Austria: All 14 of those detained in connection with Vienna jihad massacre are Muslim migrants

Nov 6, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 23 Comments

Wait, there’s more. Tashfeen Malik, one of the San Bernardino jihad mass murderers, passed five separate background checks at five different U.S. agencies. The U.S. government policy still (we may hope President Trump will change this soon) doesn’t even recognize the existence of Islamic jihad; how can officials possibly vet for it. More of what […]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words in response to the Vienna jihad terror attack.

Austria: Jihad murderer was well known to security services and member of a mosque that was monitored

Nov 3, 2020 2:30 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

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 […]
