The Islamist Spectrum

According to sources, the van plus machete attack at a LGBTQ pride parade in Berlin, Germany on the weekend was carried out by the usual lone wolf:

* Twenty-year old man born in Berlin of Lebanese descent.

* Investigated for attempt to join IS in Syria.

* Brought back from Lebanon to Germany to stand trial.

* "Sentenced to 13 months for attempting a terror attack but the judge converted it to probation."

* After his release in May of this year from the juvenile justice system, he attended two "screening" sessions and was scheduled to attend the third today as part of the "deradicalisation" program he was ordered to attend.

* Police searched his home for a weapon less than a month ago but allegedly only found a toy gun.

* Possible male accomplice at large.

* At the time of this writing, one woman is dead and twenty-nine people are injured.

All very predictable...

But, what really caught our eye was this:

4. Update: Ein mutmaßlicher Tatverdächtiger konnte identifiziert werden. Nach bisherigen Erkenntnissen handelt es sich um einen polizeibekannten Mann, der dem islamistischen Spektrum zugerechnet wird. Nach dem Tatverdächtigen soll zeitnah öffentlich gefahndet werden.#b2507 pic.twitter.com/3pTyhTy6An

Or, in other words:

Another lone wolf in the pack of wolves.

There is no spectrum. There are two types of muslims, the ones that will carry out horrific acts, and the ones who won’t, but support the ones who do horrible things.

I’m seeing more and more muslim women in my little home town. It makes me sick, and makes me angry all at once. I wish there was something I could do, even if it just communicated they are unwelcome, but such an act would result in serious punishment in the blue part of Ohio.

muslims are a cancer to society. muslims are the biggest threat to Western civilization.

[Resolute Conservative]

Just another closet muzzie homo who doesn’t like the light shined on their own activity by a group seeking international acceptance of faggotry.

[drwoof]

I’m sorry to hear your story. They’re in my city as well, and I know why they’re here, just as you do. What has happened to this once great nation is outrageous and heartbreaking, and was 100% preventable.

[xp38]

He was showing his Islamic pride.

"muslims are a cancer to society. muslims are the biggest threat to Western civilization."

Unless and until most people, and especially our western governments, recognize and accept this, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, we are doomed. Western Civilization as we have known it will cease to exist. It has already been greatly eroded/degraded in many places.

“Unless and until most people, and especially our western governments, recognize and accept this, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, we are doomed.”

I couldn’t agree more. muslims are clever, they gradually make “requests” for accommodation, (changing the host’s society to suit muslims). As their numbers grown, the requests become demands, and eventually, sharia law is installed.

[bk1000]

No one should accept the alphabet people.

Copied this off of FR a years ago. We are currently seeing the (predicted) results. Especially in Europe. When Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone: United States — Muslim 1.0% Australia — Muslim 1.5% Canada — Muslim 1.9% China — Muslim 1%-2% Italy — Muslim 1.5% Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs: Denmark — Muslim 2% Germany — Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7% Spain — Muslim 4% Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. France — Muslim 8% Philippines — Muslim 5% Sweden — Muslim 5% Switzerland — Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car-burnings) . Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammad cartoons). Guyana — Muslim 10% India — Muslim 13.4% Israel — Muslim 16% Kenya — Muslim 10% Russia — Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare: Bosnia — Muslim 40% Chad — Muslim 53.1% Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels: Albania — Muslim 70% Malaysia — Muslim 60.4% Qatar — Muslim 77.5% Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide: Bangladesh — Muslim 83% Egypt — Muslim 90% Gaza — Muslim 98.7% Iran — Muslim 98% Iraq — Muslim 97% Jordan — Muslim 92% Morocco — Muslim 98.7% Pakistan — Muslim 97% Palestine — Muslim 99% Syria — Muslim 90% Tajikistan — Muslim 90% Turkey — Muslim 99.8% 100% will usher in the peace of “Dar-es-Salaam” — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: Afghanistan — Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100% Somalia — Muslim 100% Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

[No name given]

At all.

[No name given]

And our species in general.

[oldtech]

Must be something very rotten in that state if people are being held because of trying to eliminate Islam. Those Muslims are not guiltless, regardless of their part in all this. They DO NOT belong in America; their presence can only mean trouble.

[Sam Gamgee]

Just the naivete of judges to think the radical is just missing some key training to be a well adjusted resident. The judiciary is a massive problem in the Western world. In Canada story after story of refugee criminals given a slap on the wrist for various crimes, because of they will suffer if we do send them back or put them in prison.

[ShadowAce]

There is no spectrum. There are two types of muslims, the ones that will carry out horrific acts, and the ones who won’t, but support the ones who do horrible things.

That was my exact first thought. Both are equally culpable.
