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