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 […]
Nice Church Attack and Paris Teacher Beheading Linked, French Investigators Say
Both jihadi attackers shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ as they beheaded and mutilated their victims. Last month’s beheading of a Paris school teacher and the subsequent terror attack in the city of Nice appear to be connected, evidence uncovered by the French investigators shows. The Tunisian Muslim immigrant, Brahim al-Aouissaoui, who beheaded a 70-year old woman and […]
Austria: ‘Devout’ Muslim teen with ties to Islamic State arrested as possible accomplice in Vienna jihad massacre
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: Authorities close two mosques that the Vienna jihad murderer attended
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: All 14 of those detained in connection with Vienna jihad massacre are Muslim migrants
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 […]
Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat
I’ve been pointing out for years that deradicalization programs are an abysmal failure everywhere they have been implemented. From the Jihad Watch archives: UK: London jihadi stabbed man at deradicalization event, victim’s father hopes killing won’t be used as a “pretext” Gitmo prisoner reveals: Saudi “deradicalization program” is really a jihad training program 11 ex-Gitmo […]
Austria: Jihad murderer was well known to security services and member of a mosque that was monitored
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 […]
Austria: Vienna jihad murderer sent videos of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre to suspected accomplices
Firing them up to wage jihad. “ISIS urged jihadis to ‘spill the blood of Crusaders’ in ‘revenge’ for cartoons in an ‘incendiary campaign.’” Why would killing people in Austria be revenge for “blasphemy” in France? Because as far as jihadis are concerned, they’re all Christians, and the cartoons are part of a Crusade against Islam. […]
Vienna jihad murderer was released from prison early on terror charges, told judge he’d ‘got into the wrong mosque’
Yet after saying this, he appears to have “got into the wrong mosque” again, betraying the faith the judge placed in him. Will authorities ponder the implications of that? Almost certainly not. “Vienna gunman, 20, who killed four and wounded 17 was released early from prison on terror charges because of his age, had wanted […]
Vienna: Attack confirmed as jihad massacre, five dead, attacker was Muslim who supported ISIS
He struck on the night before a new coronavirus lockdown went into effect, when many people would be out and about. “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…” (Qur’an 8:60) “5 dead […]
