ISIS Claims Responsibility for German Train Attack
Townhall.com ^ | July 19, 2016 | Leah Barkoukis

Armed with an axe and a knife, a 17-year-old Afghan refugee on Monday night attacked passengers on a train in Germany, injuring at least five people.

The Islamic State has now claimed responsibility for the attack and said in a statement that the refugee was a member of the terror group who was responding to their call to go after countries that are part of the anti-ISIS coalition.

"Even during the first emergency call, a witness said that the attacker was shouting 'Allahu akbar' on the train," Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria's interior minister, told ZDF Television. "Also, during the search of his room, a hand-painted IS flag was found." […]

The attacker, who was not identified by the authorities, came to Germany two years ago as an unaccompanied minor, and applied for asylum in March of last year. He lived in a home for young refugees until two weeks ago when he was placed with a foster family in the Wuerzburg area. Investigators were talking to the foster family, witnesses and the attacker's friends.

The attacker injured at least four people on the train near Wuerzburg-Heidingsfeld on Monday night, and also a woman outside the train as he fled.

Witnesses said the interior of the train was covered with blood and looked "like a slaughterhouse," the German news agency dpa reported. About 30 passengers were on the train at the time; more than a dozen were treated for shock.

The attacker was shot and killed by a police special unit.

We don’t have commuter trains in Oklahoma. But, if we did, this guy would not have “been shot by the police.”

Just sayin’.

I’ll assume this jihadi derives from muslim concept of martyrdom erases all the sins. And I will bet this jihadi like the two previous mass killers was a bit on the muslim down lo. And I will bet that martyrdom bit is being pushed hard by all those radical clerics, but none of our security elite has a clue to what they are hearing.

Another day, another “Allahu akbar”. Nothing to see here until Our Wise Overlords can determine the possible motive for this attack.

While we are waiting, we can view the view montage of Our Wise Overlords telling us to not jump to hasty or even hateful conclusions:

A lot of them claim to be 17 but are actually more like 27.

It’s just the JV (Jihad Varsity) and another “workplace violence” (the world is their workplace) incident.

Germany’s Neo National Socialist pie-faced Merkel aides and abets.

Why isn’t Nidal Hasan dead?

But the German Polizei is going after bloggers and posters who write nasty (but true!) stuff about the ‘refugees.’
Hopefully, the Germans will wake up and Merkel and her cohorts will end their days confined in a tiny rooms in Spandau prison, which be re-opened just for them...

If President Obama had had a son, he might have looked like poor little Jihadi.

This doesn’t matter to American voters.

Melania’s stealing the monster’s lines does. /S!!

There will be attacks up until the day trump is elected.

I thought these ISIS guys were smart. They would keep low until hillary was elected if they were smart.

Remember, people, TRAINS kill, or AXES, or something.

Utter failure of every liberal utopian perception/idea/policy. Everything they decide to do ends up feckless at best, deadly at worst.

The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord.

Get ready for the liberal “media” to start accusing ISIS of lying again. “You didn’t do that!”

We need to know what horrific sins this 17 year old did in his short life that his only out was to go all jihad.

The difference is that Christian Martyrs don’t kill others.
