Austrian authorities ‘foil Christmas market terror plot’

AFP-Japan Times, December 17, 2019:

VIENNA – Austrian authorities have foiled a plot to carry out a series of terror attacks, including bombing one of Vienna’s Christmas markets, local media reported Monday.

The plot involved three men, including a 24-year-old ringleader who had been influenced by the ideology of the Islamic State group, according to the APA news agency.

The main suspect is thought to have hatched a plot to target the Christmas market in front of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna city center between Christmas and New Year.

Other possible targets are said to have included Salzburg and locations in Germany, France and Luxembourg.

An anonymous tip-off led to the ringleader, who was already in jail following two attempts to reach Syria and join IS.

However, the report said he was able to remain in contact with his alleged accomplices via mobile phone — contrary to prison regulations.

Part of the plot was a plan to help the ringleader escape.

The two other suspects, aged 25 and 31, were taken into custody at the end of last week. All three men are ethnic Chechens.

While Austria has been spared the major terror attacks that have hit other European countries including France, Britain and Germany in recent years, a relatively high number of Austrians have gone abroad to participate in Islamic extremism.

I’m gobsmacked after all Islam is a religion of peace. Austria and its EU counterparts embraced the Muslim mass-migration, civilization’s adversaries with open arms. The Austrian authorities were lucky this time, thank God, not Allah. It is safe to say the authorities will insist that the Jihad evildoers were not real Islamists but an aberration of true Islam, the religion of peace.

Meanwhile, back in America, the Muslim evildoers aligned with the Democratic Party remain hell-bent on the ultimate end of this Constitutional Republic.

Muslims across India staged angry protests over new legislation that grants citizenship rights for refugees fleeing Islamist persecution in the neighboring countries.

– there are about 230 million Muslims in India
– do they want Justice, or Jihad?
– can’t have both

Aw, c’mon- get into the Christmas spirit, Austria. What’s wrong with celebrating a bit, eh? I mean, it’s routine in Ramadan- why should Christmas be any different?

Say, Austria, in uncovering this plot, did you get any help from the Jooos? For the life of me, can’t understand why they should help you out.

Maybe because it´s also in the interrest of the “Jooos” that a plot like this have foiled ?
Maybe because Austrians and “Jooos” are working to get over the past ?
Do you really think that ( most ) Austrians are not also shocked what was happening under Hitler ?
Well you defently have no Christmas spirit.
Just primitive prejustice built on ignorance.

( Sorry for my english i´m Austrian but I´m sure it´s better then your german )

Es werde Licht-

Greetings from America.

No problem with your English- glad an Austrian is monitoring this site. Allow me to note there was a lot of sarcasm in my comment that you, as a non-Anglophone, might not have understood.

I cannot speak knowledgeably about what most Austrians think, but I don’t doubt many are horrified by Austria’s complicity with the Nazis. I do think there is denial on the part of all-too-many Austrians and Germans, and I do not think that either nation takes the re-emergence of anti-Semitism seriously enough. They are far too eager to “put the past behind them”.

I see your country as one of the most critical of Israel in Europe. I accuse the government of Austria of not only being wrong, but also the most stinking lousy hypocrisy when it comes to Israel- and that seems to me to be acceptable to the majority of Austrians. I admit, relations between Austria and Israel seem to have improved in the past couple of years, but I also think it is only recently has the Austrian government begun to seriously address your country’s past. So I hope you can understand my skepticism about Austria and Europe’s longer term intent. I will be delighted if my suspicions prove to be unfounded.

I do appreciate that English is not your native language, and so you may not be able to express yourself precisely. But Israel and Jews in general should never “get over” the past. Jews should Never Forget and Never Forgive the murderous hatred toward the Jewish people and nation that existed for centuries in much of Europe and that exists to this day . I, a gentile, stand with them in that regard.

Thank you for responding to my comment. I hope you can understand that my attitude toward Austria as a nation- but certainly not toward all Austrians- is more than merely “primitive prejudice built on ignorance”.

Finally, please do what you can to support Elisabeth Sabaditsch Wolff. She has been dreadfully mistreated by Austria and the EU.

There is a lot to say about it.
1.) Hitler did not win vote and power with the promise to start a world war and eleminate all Jews in the gas chamber. To talk about the time after WW i will take to much space.
2.) Sorry to say but Antisemitism was normal in Europe for more then 1500 years and the main source of it was the Christian church.,
3.) The physical elemination of the Jews started 1942 in the middle of the war. So even if the people have known about it they have been forced to fight with the Nazis to the end or kill Hitler and surrender to the enemys.
No excuse but I believe that Hitler was a force of evilness and it was GOD who interfere and let the evilness fail. Never was evilness closer to win then in this time.
What should I say about the politic in Europe today ?
Weak, corrupt, laughable.
And when you ask how this is possible then just look to the voters of your Democratic Party.
They are the same like many here in Europe.
You have Trump now what is great, we have signs like Brexit, Yellow west protest in France, AfD in Germany etc. We are also sick of all this lies and phrases.
Look, for me is the jewish religion the best way to find to GOD and I guess thats why the Jews are so hatred because the most of the people reject GOD or follow false prophets.
I dont know who Elisabeth Sabaditsch Wolff is but I will inform me about her as much I can.
Dont expect to much I´m just a worker.

Thank you for a considered reply.

So even if the people have known about it they have been forced to fight with the Nazis to the end or kill Hitler and surrender to the enemys.

One of the worst decisions the Americans imposed on war time strategy was that Germany and Japan had to offer “unconditional surrender”. Roosevelt came up with that without bothering to consult with allies or his own advisors.

Here is a very good English language web site for information about Europe:

https://gatesofvienna.net/

They bring a fair amount about Germany and Austria to the English speaking world.

Please do read about Elisabeth Sabaditsch Wolff. She is a great Austrian of her generation.

Best to you this holiday season.

Austria willingly let them in without vetting. What did it expect from a people known to attack people not like themselves, with religion not of their belief, and political and legal systems not like their own?

Islam has no tolerance for others, and muslims expect their new homelands to bow to their demands. If you don’t, this is what to expect.

Why do LIBERALS and ATHEISTS HATE CHRISTMAS?
It represents everything they don’t have in their lives.
Liberals, atheists and Muslims have no joy and HATE it when others do have joy, family, happiness etc..

Sure Austrian law enforcement stopped this act of islamic terrorism, this time. But what will Austrian law enforcement be like as it’s increasingly infiltrated, co-opted and subverted by f’ing muslums from within and without?

The problem was, is and always will be Islam.. They should stay in the 57 countries which are muslim majority,ight each other and leave the rest of the world alone…

Isn’t it interesting that a feral animal can be rehabilitated, but not a muslim??
