Hamburg jihad machete-murderer was known to security forces, recorded “not as a jihadist but as an Islamist”

11

The machete-wielding jihadi who went on a stabbing spree in Hamburg yesterday was known to security forces. But he was not detained, just left by Merkel to go about his loathsome trade in death. Here again, another murderous jihadi known to authorities, like so very many, and nothing is done.

“As far as we know … there were no grounds to assess him as an immediate danger. He was a suspected Islamist and was recorded as such in the appropriate systems, not as a jihadist but as an Islamist.”

WTH is the difference?

Islamist is a Western construct, a silly cowardly term. It is not used in the Muslim world. Essentially, what does it mean to say that someone or something is “Islamist” as opposed to “Islamic”? Nothing, really, except that the person speaking doesn’t want to offend Islam by speaking unwelcome truths about the political nature of the religion. (more on that here).

Note too, it is claimed he could not be deported because he had no papers (a not uncommon problem) — the only solution for this is to make use of offshore uninhabited territory.

The German enemedia did not run this story on their front pages.

The Hamburg attack did not feature on the front pages of most major broadsheets, which dedicated their coverage to the emissions scandal engulfing the German car industry.

Oh, yes, that is sooo critical. More global warming BS.

Hamburg attacker was known to security forces

By Morris Mac Matzen, Reuters, July 20, 2017:

HAMBURG (Reuters) – The migrant who killed one person and injured six others in a knife attack in a Hamburg supermarket was a radicalised Islamist known to German security agencies, but also believed to have psychological problems.

Officials said on Saturday the agencies had believed he posed no immediate threat.

A security lapse in a second deadly militant attack in less than a year, and two months before the general election, would be highly embarrassing for German intelligence, especially since security is a main theme in the Sept. 24 vote.

A Tunisian failed asylum seeker killed 12 people by driving a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin in December, slipping through the net after intelligence officers who had monitored him reached the conclusion he was no threat.

Hamburg Interior Minister Andy Grote told a news conference that Friday’s 26-year-old attacker was registered in intelligence systems as an Islamist but not a violent one as there was no evidence to link him to an imminent attack.

He also said the attacker, a Palestinian asylum seeker who could not be deported as he lacked identification documents, was psychologically unstable. Police said on Friday the man was born in United Arab Emirates.

The Palestinian mission in Berlin had agreed to issue him with documents and he had agreed to leave Germany once these were ready, a process that takes a few months.

“What we can say of the motive of the attacker at the moment is that on the one side there are indications that he acted based on religious Islamist motives, and on the other hand there are indications of psychological instability,” Grote said.

“The attacker was known to security forces. There was information that he had been radicalised,” he said.

“As far as we know … there were no grounds to assess him as an immediate danger. He was a suspected Islamist and was recorded as such in the appropriate systems, not as a jihadist but as an Islamist.”

Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is on a summer vacation and is seeking a fourth term in office in September, praised the civil courage of Hamburg residents who threw chairs and other objects at the attack, helping police to detain him.

Merkel’s decision in 2015 to open Germany’s doors to more than one million of mainly Muslim migrants has sparked a debate about the need to spend more on policing and security and contributed to the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) populist party.

Yet her conservatives have recovered from losses in regional elections last year and are in a leading position to win the general election. Opinion polls put them 13-17 percentage points ahead of the centre-left Social Democrats.

The Hamburg attack did not feature on the front pages of most major broadsheets, which dedicated their coverage to the emissions scandal engulfing the German car industry.

I would bet a £ to a penny that the difference between the terms “Jihadist” and “Islamist” are lost today on the families grieving over their murdered and injured relatives.

To me, this fabricated non distinction typifies the utter criminal vacuity that exists between the ears of the German political ruling class and the entire political establishment.

Their dignity in the council chambers of the world matter far more to them than the terrible thing they’ve done to Germany and it’s people. No condemnation is too harsh.

This is true. The German government is correct in saying that the attacker is an individual with psychological problems. But the German government forgot to say, or refused to say, that the individual has psychological problems because he’s a Muslim. So basically, the German government lied by omission. If the German government was honest, they would have explained to the German people that the individual is a violent mental case because he comes from a backward Third World culture called Islam.

They get very successful in doing that because the German people are useless

Despite innocent Germans being killed by them savages, the German people never dare to issue any meaningful challenge to those ass wiping bureaucrats

It´s funny how AGAIN german government manages to fool the masses by proclaiming AGAIN that the attacker is an individual with psychologic problems! The sole fact that they use the same lie over and over again after every attack proves how incredibly stupid, uninformed and naive the vast majority of Germans are. Because if the governement knew that the people wouldn´t fall for these lies, they wouldn´t spread them of course. Germans have been so enormously brainwashed in the last 7 decades, that even if such an incident happens every week from now on until the elections on September 24th, they would STILL vote for the same parties that brought the attackers in (and are still continously bringing in more of them).

Don’t despair, people. Things are happening.

I saw an interview on Belgian TV Saturday morning with a witness in Hamburg. Her statement, or at least the part that was televised, was very short.

But it included the crucial information that she heard the attacker say “Allahu Akbar”.

People who have been asleep are waking up, if even Belgian TV news editors are starting to clue the general public in to the Islamic nature of these attacks.

Every Muslim is a Jihad, most just vocally and Islamic and Islamist are the same. The latter have been segregated by the taqya (lies) of Islam and of course the muslim sympathizers that will also lie cheat and con people into believing Islamic propaganda and total utter ballshit. How is it possible that our supposed civilized and informed western culture can be so gullible when daily factual evidence completely destroys the myth that Islam is the religion and tolerance

Sad that Europeans have no Constitutional rights to self defense, One of the most important rights in the USA for citizens is the right to bear arms. I feel sad that innocent EU citizens are without the means to protect themselves and their families, while police directed by EU governments do nothing to stop these f-ing shitzlamic animals. We on the other hand in the USA are armed AND trained in the use of firearms very well and like most armed Americans I”m just waiting for the opportunity to blow some of these worthless islamic terrorist bastards away. I wouldn’t hesitate one second to put a bullet in the head of ANY terrorist that threatens my country, me or my family. If these assholes want to die a martyr, I’m more than willing to help them attain that status with a .50 cal bullet to the brain!
