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 […]

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 […]

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: ‘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: 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: 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 […]

Netanyahu calls for ‘civilized peoples everywhere’ to ‘unite to defeat the savagery of resurgent Islamist terrorism’

Nov 5, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 15 Comments

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words in response to the Vienna jihad terror attack. He posted on Twitter: President Reuvin Rivlin stated: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Austria as we follow last night’s despicable terrorist attack in Vienna with concern” The statements by both the Israeli PM and President carry unique […]

Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat

Nov 3, 2020 2:45 pm By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

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

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 […]

Austria: Vienna jihad murderer sent videos of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre to suspected accomplices

Nov 3, 2020 2:15 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

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 massacre: Boris Johnson and Macron are ‘shocked,’ Merkel says ‘Islamist terror’ is ‘the common enemy’

Nov 3, 2020 7:00 am By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

If Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron are really shocked by this, they haven’t been paying attention, and are willfully ignorant and/or misinformed about the motivating ideology behind jihad attacks and the beliefs of large numbers of the Muslims they’re bringing into Europe. And Merkel says “Islamist terror” is Europe’s “common enemy”? Then why has she […]

Vienna jihad murderer was released from prison early on terror charges, told judge he’d ‘got into the wrong mosque’

Nov 3, 2020 6:45 am By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

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 […]

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 […]

Jihadis cast all attacks as defensive because Islamic law stipulates that only the caliph can wage offensive jihad. “Jihadist Says Vienna Attack ‘Part of the Bill’ for Austrian Involvement in U.S.-led Coalition,” SITE Institute, November 2, 2020
