I’m usually an eager relayer of well-founded theories and clues which help get the truth out when politically-correct authorities try to hide or minimize the Islamic identity of jihad attackers, but in the case of Andreas Lubitz I must firmly state that so far (as of 3:00 am EST, U.S.), people are posting only completely unsubstantiated, non-credible reports that he was a convert to Islam.
In the early absence of much solid information about the 28-year-old pilot’s personal life the internet is, of course, going wild with speculation about Lubitz’ motives for deliberately crashing the plane full of innocent people into a mountain, and stories about him supposedly joining “the religion of peace” before doing it as an act of jihad are swirling around.
The people making such claims — if there was really anything to them — would be putting all sorts of verifiable specifics (or at least one or two checkable sources/facts) into their blog posts and articles to back up such an important allegation. However, they aren’t, so the fact is that they’re just trolls stirring up hysteria in order to generate traffic to their websites.
I believe it’s possible that Lubitz was a Muslim convert, but so far nothing credible has been made public to support that angle.
Certain internet posts in particular have gone viral, stating as if it’s fact that Lubitz converted to Islam. One of them, an article from a highly dubious German “news” website, has been translated into English and spread by The Gateway Pundit blog. The article’s headline bluntly states: The co-pilot of the Germanwings Airbus was a convert to Islam. In it, the writer says “All evidence indicates” that Lubitz’ conversion to Islam took place during his unexpected 6-month hiatus from pilot training (reported elsewhere as due to depression and “burnout”), and that he “was staying often” at a radical mosque in Bremen, Germany, where his flight school was located.
None of those claims are attributed to any source whatsoever; not even anyone described as “wishing to remain anonymous” is cited.
Another blog, St Thomas Aquinas Versus NASA, flatly declares in its headline: Muslim Convert Co-Pilot Andreas Gunter Lubitz Committed Jihad. In that post, without naming a single source, the writer states:
“It was said that Lubitz had a Muslim girlfriend. It is unclear if she was still dating Lubitz at the time of the crash. It is unclear if he met her through his Muslims(sic) friends.”
The blogger in question goes on to insist, without any verifiable support whatsoever, that he or she knows that Lubitz converted to Islam during his break from pilot training in Bremen.
As most readers are already aware, actual Islamic jihadists have wasted no time jubilantly claiming Lubitz as one of their own, creating social media pages heralding Lubitz as a hero for Islam, and celebrating the murders of so many innocent passengers and crew on behalf of their systematic Mohammedan terror reign.
For me, the most compelling information so far related to Lubitz’ possible motives has to do with the long, unplanned break in his pilot training, reported widely as being due to depression and burnout, and the revelation from police saying they had made a “significant discovery” of something — “not a suicide note” — inside his apartment, something which “may be a clue” to what happened to the doomed jet, and which has been “sent for tests.”
We can be certain that a tsunami of fresh information is about to break out all over the media and internet about the details of Andreas Lubitz’ personal life, and about the facts and circumstances leading up to his dastardly, murderous act. We can be just as certain that not all of it will be reliable.
I’m literally on the edge of my seat typing this, waiting, just like you are if you read this far.
About one thing I’m extremely confident, and in contrary to politically-correct sources: If it turns out that Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim convert, you can bet your last Euro it had to do with what he did.
WND is much more reliable, actually.
We are assuming many things with that bit of info, however.
They immediately report that the “breathing was normal” and, ipso facto, he was perfectly healthy. Nonsense. LOTS of medical things happen and still one can breathe normally, untinterrupted.
This assumes there is no way to accidentally hit a switch. However, unless it was placed in the optional position, the switch is located by the throttles, easy for a body or just a dangling hand to hit - and it is only a 1-position switch, to boot (not 3, which I would think would be better).
Furthermore, looking at the emergency-door video on this plane, they seem to say that there is a special code for outsiders to override ANY locking situation. How about that? (I may have misunderstood this part of the film, but I think that’s what was meant. They showed both crewmen passed out as a possibility, with the door “locked”, but the stewardess punched in a special code to get it open.)
So, again, I want ALL info out and that takes more than 1 day. Air investigations always take much longer than 2 days. Analysis takes much longer. None of this would stand up in court.
It is just plain totally irresponsible of the French authorities to mouth off within 24 hours as if they know so much. Nonsense.
I believe they are able to conclude firmly that the only way Lubitz could have denied the pilot entry was by deliberate choice, if it were possible he became incapacitated and inadvertently did so, I believe they would not have announced his deliberate choice to crash the plane. That is, to take your position assumes more, unrealistically more apparently, than the other way around, which seems to me to be a deducible fact.
Thank-you. Hitler, Stalin, Amin, Papa Doc, et. al., were not Muslims. Although Muslims have a monopoly on mass-murder these days, not all mass-murders are Muslim. And yes, I know Muslims who are really nice people. They are. They give us Christmas gifts, good bottles of wine, and excellent conversation. Their weakness is not standing up to the Islamists. They admit that to me.
Since you have a good relationship with them, I wonder, have you ever, or would you ever just suggest that they convert to Christianity? I can’t see why it makes sense for decent people who are Muslim by mere incidence of being born into it to not at some realize what a violent murder cult it actually is, and convert (if they can do so without putting their lives in jeopardy). Mohammed is the O.G. terrorist, so why do they follow him?
It’s not unreasonable for him to have done it.
But, I am totally unconvinced they could come up with that “conclusion” based on less than a day’s “analysis”.
Coupled with the low probability of anyone just deciding to carelessly take others with them in their suicide (if not Moslem), or the low probability he was a Moslem, especially actually part of a “cell”, I just don’t buy it yet.
I’ll like it more if that remains after several weeks.
I don’t have a good relationship with all of them; rather, I know several Muslims that are really nice people. None of them seem to actively practice the religion; rather, they are Muslim in name only.
If Gateway Pundit ever wants my traffic again, they need to focus on accurate, rather than “breaking” news. This is strike 2.
And I take it the story has been crushed and buried by the Europeans and of course, it was scrubbed by the US MSM.
No, there was no story. Read the article.
Fine, then why must it be true that this particular guy who crashed the plane MUST be a Muslim? By your own admission, there are evil people in this world who are not Muslims. Why is it not possible that the copilot on this plane was just an evil non-Muslim?
islamist facilitator regardless what his “other” reasons may have been.
