The Surge of Islamist Violence: Why the West Remains Silent

[Social Media]

 

 

Last week, a 25-year-old Afghan man went on a stabbing spree in Mannheim, southwestern Germany, resulting in the death of a police officer and injuries to five others. Captured on video, the attack showed the assailant repeatedly stabbing several people, including the officer, who was attacked in the head and neck. The officer, Rouven L., aged 29, was trying to protect Michael Stürzenberger, a blogger known for his critical views on Islam, who was wounded but survived.

 

Despite the clear indications of an Islamist motive, it took four days for authorities to acknowledge the connection. Justice Minister Marco Buschmann tweeted, “Islam belongs to Germany, but Islamism does not. It is a deadly form of fanaticism. There is now clear evidence of an Islamist motive for the crime in #Mannheim.”

 

This incident is part of a growing trend of Islamist stabbings, riots, and violent demonstrations across the West, particularly in Europe. These violent episodes are increasing in frequency and severity. In April, a bishop and a priest were stabbed during services in a Sydney suburb by a 16-year-old attacker who shouted “Allahu Akbar.” In March, four individuals linked to “violent Islamist extremism” were arrested in Stockholm. UK Member of Parliament Mike Freer resigned in January due to threats from Islamists, underscored by the murder of his colleague David Amess in October 2021 by Ali Harbi Ali, who targeted officials supporting airstrikes against Syria.

 

France and Belgium have witnessed numerous attacks since the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel. A Chechen killed a teacher in Arras, France, a Tunisian national fatally shot two Swedes in Brussels, and a Muslim man killed a German tourist in Paris. Another incident involved a mass stabbing at a party in Crépol, southern France, where Muslim teenagers reportedly declared, “We’re here to kill whites.” In April 2022, two gay men in Sligo, Ireland, were tortured and decapitated by an Iraqi immigrant who cited religious reasons, yet officials and LGBTQ activists framed the murders strictly as homophobic.

 

In Oslo, a mass shooting in June 2022 left two dead and 21 wounded, which police described as an “act of Islamist terrorism.” German authorities arrested five teenagers in April on allegations of plotting an “Islamist-motivated terror attack.” The near-fatal stabbing of novelist Salman Rushdie in upstate New York in August 2022 was carried out by a radicalized New Jersey man whose parents emigrated from Lebanon.

 

These violent acts have raised concerns about the upcoming Olympic Summer Games in Paris. French authorities have scaled back plans for the opening ceremony, citing Islamist terrorism as the main threat.

 

Additionally, there has been a surge in violent pro-Hamas demonstrations across Europe. These protests, which have often celebrated the killing and raping of Jews as a form of liberation, have contributed to a sense of resignation in the West. The shock and outrage that once accompanied such attacks have diminished, replaced by a troubling acceptance.

 

When attacks occur, the response from media and officials follows a predictable pattern: calls for restraint in judgment, followed by a shift in focus to fears of far-right retaliation once Islamist motives are confirmed. This deflection often leads to the victimization of the attacked rather than the attackers. For instance, blogger Michael Stürzenberger in Mannheim and the staffers of Charlie Hebdo, murdered in Paris in 2015, have been scrutinized for their views rather than focusing on their attackers.

 

This reluctance to confront Islamist violence head-on or the immediate deflection to far-right threats creates a cognitive dissonance. Many people worry about the increasing violence but feel powerless to address it. Europe's postwar stupor and reluctance to defend national and Western interests exacerbate the issue.

 

Salwan Momika, an Iraqi refugee in Sweden known for publicly burning Qurans, articulated a stark perspective: “As an atheist, I must be realistic and believe that the West must return to its Christian roots so that it can fight the project of Islamizing the West.” He argued that Islam cannot be fought with liberal naivety or democratic laws because it exploits democracy to further its aims.

 

The question remains: Can the West combat the Islamist threat without abandoning the democratic and liberal values that define it? Without addressing this issue, the far right may gain ground, proposing extreme measures like mass deportations, which are gaining popularity, as evidenced by the rise of the Alternative for Germany party.

 

Addressing Islamist violence directly and honestly is essential to prevent the far right from filling the void. It is a difficult conversation but necessary to protect the values and safety of Western societies.

Way too lenient for way too long !!!!!

[soalbundy]

I consider myself  left of the center but liberalism has gone too far, it's turned our politicians into woke cowards, anyone in the public eye, be it police, comedians, editors, teachers, politicians etc. are scared of putting a foot wrong, our legal systems are becoming impotent. So despite my political leanings I would now welcome right wing governments. I can see that geopolitical concerns wouldn't allow us to ban Muslims from entering Europe even though that would be desirable. 

[Tug]

Gee i dono about ignoring those murders if I recall we just finished up 2 wars with them we still have a presence in the areas they operate and I’m sure there’s lots just under the surface that we don’t see……

I just looked up Michael Stürzenberger's Youtube channel, but it's not in English.

Who knows what kind of garbage he was spewing on his channel?

This is trash journalism.

If Muslims decided to uproot their lives to western countries, it wasn't to "kill whites". It was to provide a decent place to raise their families.

Yes, if they are provoked and you insult their religion or argue Muslim immigrants shouldn't be allowed in the country, then they might attack you.

 

So let me get this straight.

Western immigrants in Thailand are complaining about immigrants in their home country?

 

Fact is, westerners are not having enough children, hence the immigration.

The religion has nothing to do with it. They're not dragging "white" people into their mosques and forcing you to believe in their Gods.

 

Live and let live. People can choose to immigrate wherever they like if the country needs people.

Yes because Western Europe needs mass immigration, you know as the region has been mostly deindustrialized and AI/robotics is removing many low skilled workers and a large chunk of migrants from recent pervious generations (now considered citizens..) are on unemployment benefits..

 

Also you seem to be fine with the idea of foreigners attacking citizens of a country based on things such as insulting their religion or not wanting them in their country. So if a group of South Asian Muslims and African Christians move to Thailand and the Thais criticize their religion and say they don't want them in Thailand, will you be so blasé with the idea of them attacking Thai people? Also bare in mind Thailand has had low birth rates for two decades on par with Western countries.

 

Your position will only be exposed as hypocrisy or dishonesty. Thailand is fairly right wing when it comes to immigration and I haven't heard many Thais complain about that either..  which I don't have a problem with because I am not a hypocrite or dishonest person. People like yourself can only squirm around in Thailand on the periphery of society as your position is not accepted by many locals or visitors. That's probably why you post online so much. Maybe go back to London, LA, or Sydney and sit around eating vegan cuisine and drinking at Starbucks. I mean at least you are in company of a similar mindset. Perhaps you can plan another BLM riot when a violent criminal gets dealt with by a police officer? 

[save the frogs]

squirm. yeah, i squirm around. lol

 

well, we see all sorts of criminal behavior by westerners in thailand. is that an argument to keep them all out? 

 

the biggest problem with too many immigrants is that the local culture gets diluted. that I agree is an issue.

Read a book called America Alone. The demographics of the west and even Russia, are doomed and the muslims know this.  Western politicians are weak and naive and grossly overpaid, not to mention, not too bright either.  Unless the west cracks down seriously on this problem, they are doomed down the road.  Japan has the right idea, never let them in.

The people who run the show and their social engineers are certainly far from being 'not too bright'. They want to set up a hard caste system in Europe and it looks like parts of East Asia will be next. It also helps with lowering the number of higher IQ people (potential threats).

Are you comparing Westerners in Thailand to the immigration into Western Europe in recent decades? For instance this article is about an immigrant in Germany stabbing 5 people and then killing a police officer. Is it an IQ issue, hypocrisy or autism leading to a lack of critical thinking/nuance?

The politicians who opened the borders for immigrants from other cultures forgot to set up a test when applying for asylum .

They come from countries where daily life was completely different to life in Europe . Young men that grew up in their country in times of war , repression , blatant injustice , have a tendency to become easily enraged and violent .

A test to be filled out and a psychological evaluation of every ( male ) individual applying for asylum or residency would have been logical and necessary , but the politicians have been to naive to see that .

They only stay in the best hotels when they travel stay with people similar them ...

They simply ignored the state of mind of the young men from war-torn countries , and just let millions in ...

Big mistake , should let the good ones in , and leave the bad ones out ...

Sounds a little familiar , doesn't it ?

[JonnyF]

Nothing new here. The likes of Douglas Murray pointed this out years ago with his excellent book The Strange Death of Europe.

 

The only thing that has changed is that people have noticed there is truth to it, so now pointing this out is less likely to get you labelled a racist or Islamaphobe (except maybe on this forum).

 

Politicians are selling out the indigenous people of Europe in exchange for cheap labour. Finally people are waking up to this and the centre right are making large gains in elections (labelled "far right" by the left of course). Probably too late though.

Regarding this incident, I need more info.

I looked up the guy's youtube channel, but it's not in English.

He's probably advocating deporting all muslims.

 

Similarly on here, when the govt has some anti-western immigration policy or rhetoric, people are fuming. Why? Because you want to stay here. 

 

My parents were immigrants. So am I supposed to take an anti-immigrant stance? 

 

Japan has an anti-immigrant stance. There is some wisdom to it. Human beings are inherently racist and it's not easy for different cultures to mix. And the culture does get diluted when there are too many immigrants.

 

But in some countries, the ship has sailed. There's no turning back. And where is it all heading? In 200 or 600 years, you won't be able to tell the difference between a white person and an arab and an asian because they will merge into one giant mixed race. At least racism will be solved. And who are you gonna go to war with if everyone is a mix of 6 different ethnicities? 

 

This is what we will all look like in the future.

Too many too soon I believe is the problem.  Politicians also only want quick fixes, few want to involve themselves in anything long term, they want the returns now not down the track when somebody else is in power.

I am guessing you are from the US as you differentiate between 'Arab' and 'Asian', you guys struggle with reality. It's not entirely your fault, I looked into the media in the US and the screen flicker rate and aggressive advertising they do. Mind frying stuff.. But anyway, at least your parents didn't move you to Thailand, you wouldn't even be a Thai citizen as one of your parents are not Thai 🙂 and you would never be considered Thai if your phenotype doesn't blend in. Of course you will ignore that though and again the Westerners moving to Thailand are not comparable to the immigration situation in Western Europe and even with your MKUltra'd brain you even know the comparison is one of zero integrity.

No, just fact. we're not immigrants. Do immigrants in your home country report every 90 days? Are they allowed to work on retirement visa? Do we get any gov benefits here in Thailand? Do we pay more for certain things here? So, please stop with the pathetic comparison.

I'd say that the biggest difference is that (almost) every westerner in Thailand has an expiration date on our permission to stay in the country.  And every one of us is subject to deportation should we misbehave (and without benefit of a very expensive trial, at huge cost to Thai taxpayers).  Not to mention a repatriation flight on our own dime, and not at public expense...

 

Exceptions, of course, for the very few who get citizenship, but even that's subject to the vagaries of the Thai gub'ment who can cancel the passport with a minimum of fuss and other.

Most wars are based on religion, territory and money, not race. 

 

Religion and money aren't going anywhere, and neither are territorial disputes. Increasing the proportion of mixed race people won't stop war. 

 

Also, I highly doubt that the Japanese, Koreans, Thais, Chinese etc. will all look like your image in 200-600 years. Eliminating homogenous societies under the banner of DEI is a Western liberal ideal, not one held worldwide.

Well, and what is the conclusion? Where are the plans to conquer Islamism?

Fact is that some Muslims who seemed to be perfectly integrated, with good jobs, wife and children, turned to extreme faith. They meet in Mosques, where the Imam is trained in eg Turkey, and are directed to be a "good" Muslim, meaning not following wokeness and LGBTQ ideas. Also, most of those extremists meet in chat groups. And finally they don't have a sticker with "I'm an Islamist".

Actually, I haven't seen a lot of "pro Hamas" demonstration, but "pro Palestine" and "anti Israel".

This report is not making this important and significant difference.🙏

More like: can the west survive if they allow the Islamists to use democratic and liberal values against it?

 

This situation is directly due to liberal "leaders" allowing mass immigration of an alien culture ( that despises everything about liberal values ) into their countries.

Ask yourself why there is zero desire for western folk to emigrate in large numbers into Islamic countries.

 

If ever there was a case of "shooting oneself in the foot" it was the desire of some to allow mass immigration of the aliens in the first place.

The same reason Islamists were allowed to rape hundreds of girls in Northern England for decades with no action.
