In an atrocious travesty of justice, a Muslim man was cleared of planning a jihad terror attack on a gay pride parade. He was deemed mentally ill, that is, he supposedly didn’t know what he was doing due to that alleged mental illness.
Yet it’s no secret that gays are murdered in Islamic countries because of strictures of Islamic law. Yet this possible reason for one of his target groups wasn’t taken into consideration by “behavioral experts,” who have limited knowledge, confined to Western mores.
“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
A 32-year-old man from Amsterdam, identified as “Tahsin E,” was “sentenced to five months in jail to be followed by compulsory psychiatric treatment for making threats against gay people, Jews and the police on social media but was found not guilty of planning a terrorist attack.”
Islamic antisemitism is also deeply embedded in Islamic doctrine, and Jews were another one of Tahsin’s target groups. Of course Muslims can suffer from mental illness like anyone else, but hateful and murderous texts in the Quran and Hadith present a component of plots of this kind that the West is ill-equipped to confront. No psychiatric help from infidels could cure the hatred and intolerance that is backed by religious zeal. Tahsin E. was not only not random in choosing his targets, but was interested in the Islamic State.
A search of his home in Amsterdam turned up several telephones, a quantity of hydrogen peroxide and injection needles. The phones contained photos and videos featuring weapons and IS propaganda. E also asked on Twitter if anyone had a Kalashnikov rifle for sale, as he “needed it for the Gay Pride parade.”
Given his attraction to the Islamic State, despite “behavioral experts” believing his excuses, Tahsin E is now free to continue seeking out like minds and becoming an increasingly violent threat to public safety, especially to the gay population and Jews.
“Amsterdam man cleared of planning terror attack on Gay Pride,” Dutch News, April 16, 2021:
A 32-year-old man from Amsterdam has been sentenced to five months in jail to be followed by compulsory psychiatric treatment for making threats against gay people, Jews and the police on social media but was found not guilty of planning a terrorist attack.
The prosecution had said Tahsin E was planning to carry out a terrorist attack on last summer’s Gay Pride boat parade, and had undergone ‘terrorism training’.
But judges ruled they were not convinced Tahsin E actually had terrorist intent or that he had taken part in a training exercise. Police were alerted to E’s plans by the Dutch security service AIVD and the FBI last year and he was arrested on August 7.

Are Dutch legal professionals UNAWARE of ideology after TWO WORLD WARS fought in their country? Do no lawyers read history in the Netherlands? Do Dutch judges believe HITLERISM was a mass *mental illness* as is *jihadism*?
*IDEOLOGY* is not a *mental illness*.
*IDEOLOGY* is an intellectual construct. Just as Nazis were taught to overcome their Christian catechism and indoctrination, MUSLIMS are instructed by the KORAN to overcome their reluctance to KILL.
“And it may be that you dislike a thing (jihad) which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you (staying at home). Allah knows but you do not know.”(Koran 2:216)
One of biggest RANTS in the Koran is that most of the Muslims REFUSE to conduct JIHADIC TERRORISM with Mohammed … most of his followers prefer to ‘stay home’, rather than join Mohammed in his RAIDING EXPEDITIONS for the purpose of killing, theft, plunder, pillage, rape and enslavement.
Muslims who take the Koran SERIOUSLY are indoctrinated with JIHADISM … the belief that jihad is the most important action in Islam.
mortimer says
Someone who acts out an IDEOLOGY in violent acts is NOT *mentally ill*. Their strong BELIEF in an IDEOLOGY to the point of motivating them to take calculated and organized action is NOT *mental illness*, because a truly *mentally ill* person cannot organize or concentrate well.
Violent ideologies (like Hitlerism or Stalinism or Pol-Potism or Maoism) produce OVERVALUED IDEATION which not the same as *mental illness*.

They are all crackers! I call the affliction Islamania.
The ‘mental illness’ claim is just an excuse for leniency. It should be: “You plead mental illness? Okay you will be locked up for life in a mental institution”

Mortimer, Jihad is the unofficial ‘Sixth pillar of Islam’ because it is mentioned in the Quran ad nauseum. It is a core tenet of Islam, and for those Muslim psychopaths who take their religion seriously, it obviously becomes their chief modus operandi. And you have noted how they regard homosexuals.
The fact that many Westerners don’t understand this, is because they are ignorant of Islam, and were brought up with a more modern ethical mindset. Since the days of the Enlightenment and the Reformation, Christianity has undergone major changes for the better to its old authoritarian ways, but Islam has not. Islam still clings to the medieval mores of the Arabian desert tribes of “clan based honor” and “an eye for an eye”.
Most Western Constitutions protect freedom of religion; but stupidly in doing so they don’t discriminate between religions like Christianity, which are now relatively benign, and Islam which is still highly political and aggressively militaristic. If Western civilization is to survive, then THIS MUST CHANGE. The Islamic world is at war with all non-Muslims (and has been for 1,400 years); and one of their strategies is to use our liberal and civilizing laws against us. Because we usually cave in to their demands (all in the name of human rights), they regard us as weak and ready for takeover.
I couldn’t give a damn what hypothetical god Muslims want to worship – all religion is a myth anyway. But I sure as hell don’t want their political ideology of “kill them wherever you find them” given constitutional and legal protection. (Western politicians NB!).
And it goes without saying that the legal fraternity in the West, urgently need educating in Islamic ideology. As my old grandmother would have said, “They are as ignorant as Paddy’s pigs!”
Keith O says
Mortimer, The judges were sort of correct, He, like every other Mudslime has a mental illness. It’s called Islam.
This of course doesn’t mean they are not dangerous, quite the opposite, this makes them even more dangerous than the worst serial killers, because they think they are carrying out their god’s commands.

Good post, Mortimer.

To the Dutch legal profession, I say:
‘If HITLERISM was a *mental illness* (as you believe jihadism is a *mental illness*), then similarly, NO NAZIS should have been punished at Nuremberg, because they were *mentally ill*.
200,000,000 Muslims who say they support jihadic terrorism are NOT certifiably *mentally ill*. They cherish ‘overvalued ideation’ in jihadism.
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
The person most mentally ill here is of course the “judge”.
Check Burry says
I go for that Rob.

Just normative justice in the west these days( right wingers excepted)
James Lincoln says
So who is going to be held accountable if / when “Tahsin E” plots another act of terror?
What criteria will the psychiatric medical staff use as a “test of cure / control” before his release from the psychiatric hospital?:
1. What medications / psychotherapy was he prescribed?
2. What would be the follow-up care regimen?
3. Most importantly, if it was determined by the psychiatric medical staff that the islamic religious ideology exacerbated his underlying mental illness, would they recommend leaving the religion? If not, why not?

Damn good questions, James.

Netherlands: Muslim plotted jihad terror attack on Gay Pride parade and Jews, is cleared

Oh how I remember the wonderful days in Amsterdam in 1970-71, Fondel Park, the Dam Straat, the Saunas, the beautiful women, the bicycles, though this was long before the insanity of islam arrived and destroyed it all within a decade or so, but I have my memories of those days and feel lucky as a 21 year old guy that I was there at that time,, though at the time I didnt know just how fortunate I was at the time, now I do, all those years ago.
islam is destroying Europe, day by day, year by year, and amazingly it is those Of The Left that are helping its demise, when in fact is it those people who should be fighting against it.
Strange days indeed.
