Last October the Islamic State issued this call to Muslims in the West: “If you are not able to find an IED [improvised explosive device] or a bullet … 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 […]
Austria: 14-year-old Muslim jailed on jihad terror charges
What was he taught at home? What was he taught in his local mosque? Is anyone investigating, or would that be “Islamophobic”? “Austrian boy sentenced to jail on terrorism charges,” Reuters, May 26, 2015: A 14-year-old boy from Austria who downloaded bomb-making plans onto his Playstation games console was sentenced to a two-year jail term […]
Austria: 14-year-old Muslim charged with plotting jihad mass murder attacks
He is “deeply radicalized and defended his beliefs.” In response, they sent him to psychological counseling. The Austrian authorities, like all Western authorities, have no idea how to deal with this problem. They think they can cure deeply held beliefs that Merkan thinks comes from the creator of the universe by having him indulge in […]
Austria passes law on Islam, banning foreign funding and requiring imams to speak German
“We want a future in which increasing numbers of imams have grown up in Austria speaking German, and can in that way serve as positive examples for young Muslims.” Are they unable to recruit for jihad in German? This measure is largely cosmetic, but at least it is something, rather than nothing at all, which […]
Austria: Police raid mosques, arrest 13 for jihad recruitment
Recruiting for the Islamic State was going on in mosques? One might almost get the idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam. But of course, that would be “Islamophobic.” “Austrian police arrested 13 men targeting suspected jihad recruiters,” AFP, November 28, 2014: VIENNA (AFP) – Austrian police arrested 13 people and […]
Austria: “Very nice student” converts to Islam, now he calls on Muslims to “kill infidels” and join the Islamic State
Oliver N “was a very nice student, but towards the end of the last school year he converted to Islam and at this point his behaviour changed.” Why didn’t his behavior change when he converted to Islam? After all, Reza Aslan assures us that religions are infinitely malleable, and take any form that the believer […]
Austria: Imam accused of driving teen girls to jihad in Syria, says his words were taken out of context
Of course his words were taken out of context. When has a non-Muslim opponent of jihad terror ever quoted an Islamic supremacist’s words in their proper context? Greasy Islamophobes seem to be physically incapable of quoting the Qur’an or the words of any jihadist imam in context. It takes a mind of particular refinement to […]
Austria: Imam says Muslims join Islamic State because of “Islamophobia”
He says that “these young people do not see themselves as being part of this [Western] society: they were not brought up to blend in in a positive way.” Whose fault is that? Imams all over Europe preach against assimilation and integration. Then he adds: “There is also some discrimination and indirect persecution against Islam […]
Vienna: Muslims establish Islamic State fan club
No doubt the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims in Vienna will immediately denounce this group and explain to them how the Islamic State is “extremist” — won’t they? “Vienna fan group for Islamic State militants,” The Local, August 6, 2014: The Islamic State (IS), which is viewed alongside al-Qaeda as one of the most dangerous […]
Austria: Police raid mosques suspected of aiding Syrian jihad
One would think that when mosques are recruiting for and financing a jihad that Western authorities have characterized as being dominated by “extremists,” that those same Western authorities might get an inkling that what they consider to be “extremist” is not necessarily what mainstream Muslims consider to be “extremist.” But that is a point that […]
