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.

Passengers are reported to be “seriously injured”.

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

Because Islam is religion of peace and has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.

Much less far-fetched would be an attack by Quakers,

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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

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.
