One villager told Swiss media: “We have heard that a man has a woman on fire in the train”First I thought of a terrorist attack.”It is the first attack of its kind in Switzerland in recent memory. There have been a string of assaults on the public in neighbouring France and Germany, as well as Belgium, over the past 18 months, most of which were claimed by the Islamic State militant group and killed more than 250 people.

Emergency services have surrounded the scene, including firefighters, three rescue helicopters, two emergency physicians, three ambulances and experts from the railway companies.

Motive unknown!? Did he steal their i-phones?
“A terrorism background still seems very, very far-fetched.”
Because Islam is religion of peace and has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.
Much less far-fetched would be an attack by Quakers,
Not even one dead?, oh please this will not even be news in the mainstream media. Nothing to do with islam. It was a mad swiss citizen who did it. Mental health issues is starting to be a problem in the 21th century.
MuzzieTroll…
But it was a crime of (islamitic) passions ! yup
And rascally Pennsylvanian Quakers discussed in their legislature , bribing hostile injuns to pass them by , and go on to attack Virginia .
Validate your 2nd Amendment Rights….. Carry
Here is a liberal lunatic spreading his brand of hate
Typical 27 year old “Swiss Man”
This Ork is so unbelievable ugly and disgusting. I can see endless madness in his eyes.
They all have dead eyes and have more than their fair share of the ugliest and the most demented people on the planet.
He is on his way to your state, courtesy of your president
they are all blinded. islam is abomination
Brilliant!
It is what it will look like in 20 years
Thank you, obama
Haven’t you caught up yet….There is no such thing as Islamic terrorism…. it’s all
just mental disorders….
Islam is a mental disorder!!!!
No it’s our political leaders who are diseased and a threat to the country. Supported by Nazism and Papal power.
Please check the above copy, it refers to “…The Express, August 3, 2016:”, which is typo and should be August 13, 2016.
Still no name given for the ‘Swiss man’, are they removing traces of him from the Internet as they appear to have done with the Muslim murderer in London?
Swiss Somalian or Swiss Tunesian named Mohammed Ahmad Abdullah???
Swiss cheese I believe
Funny how they don’t mention the Perp’s name. If it weren’t Islamic my bet, they’d get it out there quickly.
Also remember Europe, if these heroes are killed by a woman they go to HELL. They believe it, not me.
AND the media in the US is obsessed with the American election.
Media is obsessed with the Clintoon election .
Far fetched? Far fucking fetched? We are down the rabbit hole.
Won’t he be surprised when they tell him he gets 72 RAISINS.
Nothing to see here folks; just a “crime of passion.” Expect to see more of them as the MSM twists itself into pretzels trying to avoid stating the obvious.
Just like the “workplace violence” of Fort Hood from the “allah-loving” Nidal Hasan. Libtards always have an excuse. Just ask Hillary!
Those Swiss Reformists are on jihad.
No, it was Heidi and Peter having a relation problem.
… didn’t what to air dirty laundry in public, but it was all about the goat.
LIES! Islam is the “religion” of peace. It was aliens from Alpha Centauri, not muslim jihadists…
Muslims are the trash of the Earth. Plain and simple, and they prove it everyday.
How dare you to implement aliens from Alpha Centauri, they would not do such silly thing.
If it walks like a jihadi and quacks like a jihadi it is probably a jihadi.
That poor refugee. Look what YOU made him do with your crappy culture and loose women. He is only following his religion which required him to kill you as a sick diseased animal…. You degenerates are NOT following the Koran. So you must die.
Enjoying liberalism yet?
Maybe the demons in his mind tormented him with the peaceful beauty and purity of the countryside in that region. No crucifixions, beheaded bodies, or bombed out cars to give rest to his soul. I am sure the media will call the Swiss insensitive and hateful.
Since we’re busy sharing fun photos…
LOL. I’d prefer 7.62 x 51mm.
Q: Why do muslum men commonly wear thobes?
A: Because a goat can hear a zipper from a mile away.
“some pathetic little low-IQ inbreed muslim doing a jihad for Ullawulla because ulllaaaar promised him pussy.”
How true and I love your explanation, it’s so factual 🙂
It is of course a “crime of passion.” The passion of hatred towards infidels. If this passionate person had a gun, can you imagine how many people would now be dead? Passionate killing is clearly kinder than non-passionate killing.
Well they got him alive. Which means he isn’t much of a Jihadi. Being take alive by the police is not the path to paradise. So I’ll wait and see on this one. The stupidity of it all is the police secrecy and mis-information in the past means that anyone will be suspicious of any attack as being Islamic.
There is a reason for telling the truth.
He died this morning according to Swiss newspapers. They know his precise age, citizenship, residence address (which they have cordoned off and searched) and they report that he had no previous criminal record; but no name! How odd!
We are facing worldwide Jihad, while the Western leaders are playing political correctness. They claim Muslims are unstable, insane persons… The camel does not see its own hump.
The suicide of the West.
Good morning.
Mornin’, friend.
When you call yourself “Dirty Dutch” you are really dirty (in mind).
Huh. So, by what you ar suggesting, when you call yourself joker, you really are a joke. Ok, makes sense to me.
When travelling always take along a fire extinguisher, a bulletproof or stab proof vest with neck protection, a few verses of the koran to memorise on your journey, protective goggles, a self-defence handbook and some food, water and a book of crossword puzzles in case you are taken hostage. And remember you are more likely to win the lottery than be killed by a terrorist – although the outcomes can be quite different. Jihad, it’s not that bad!
Not to worry. The media will do its usual scrub job of labeling the perpetrator as a citizen of one European nation or another, an “Asian suspect”, someone with a history of mental problems, or any combination. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
Who is the next victim, never knowing where they will attack, or what country.
Pick us off one by one, till the West is flooded with more Muslims to stage more larger attacks as our gutless governments do nothing when fear is our daily call.
Spare no politician that gives power to Islam.
Predictably, the US Sunday newspapers are carrying a story by AP, “American Pravda”, calling the perp a “Swiss citizen”, a suspect, an attacker and an assailant, all without providing a given name. The icing on the cake is an ending statement that a terror motive has not been established. See? There it is, all wrapped up in a tidy little package with a bow on top.
Another terrorist named Mo. Predictable!
If the perpetrators are Muslims, the leftist traitors and the enemedia will conspire to fool the audiences by hiding or obscuring their identity and motive:
– A Swiss man
– A Normegian man
– A French citizen
– Asian
– Man with mental illness
– Motive unknown
The article above is one of the most “racist and Islamophobic” news you can find on the internet because it states the perpetrator’s name (Muhammad), and his race (non-white).
Although I totally agree with your assessment of the way the enemedia covers up muslim crimes you should read the article more closely: it states “A police statement said the assailant was a 27-year-old Swiss citizen and that he was also injured in the incident”. What the story has not revealed so far is the attacker’s name or religious affiliation. But you are right in your assessment, even it the attacker was screaming Allahu Ackbar during his rampage the police and MSM would still be searching for a motive.
The article from The Express is a very rare exception, that’s why I sarcastically labelled it racist and islamophobic for simply revealing the name and ethnicity of the terrorist (read the last paragraph).
Like Daniel Greenfield once opined: “The first casualty of any war is the truth.”
Suntzu is who stated that “The first casualty of war is truth”.
We ARE at war with islam,our quisling,islam pandering,spineless,gutless,traitorous so-called “leaders” just refuse to say the words.
Semper Fi

SO Greenfield was quoting Sun Tzu. Oh well I didn’t know. Thanks.
Not sure if it was a terrorist attack? He is a Muslim. Need I say more?
I grow weary of the phrase,”Authorities are not sure the attack was linked to terrorism.”
Whenever there is an attack like this and there is no name mentioned of the suspect and no picture, then you know for sure that the lefty PC pigs are doing everything they can to cover up yet another vile act from a sub human who worships a disgusting non existent deity and a book that promotes murder and violence.
And in the media its what?
Nothing to see here folks, move to the back of the buss please. Just a troubled ‘Swiss’ national who broke down…..
It’s not the islam, it’s….it’s the train’s fault…
No, Islam is not a mental disorder; I refuse to speak of it so lightly. Islam is a plague far worse than Nazism. The Nazis were in action for about 14 years (1933-1945). Islam has been raping, ravaging, and conquering other cultures for 100 times that long, at it shows no sign of stopping. The complicity of the leftists in the Islamic attack on western civilization will be remembered forever- if we win.
It is hard to believe it is a “swiss man”. If he were, the media would release the name right away. When it is of muzrat decent, they usually withold name for a couple of days, until people calm down
