5 thoughts on “Jihad: Muslims Speak

  1. What happened? How did the west end of Europe get so incredibly stupid. Muslims without a pot to pin threatening everyone everywhere with the most cruel bloody death. Is this the result of education? It was always so obvious and basic that the Muslim is never anymore than a steak knife in waiting. Far worse than any fifth column. Soon our snowflakes are going to be looking hard as nails and very focused.

  2. Left wing Marxist ideology, communists supporting the spread of Islam, using islam as a proxy army to destroy western civilisation, church and our culture!

    Traitor, bought out left wing politico traitors, of the past 50 years,
    And Peddlers of poisonous feminist anti white man ideology.

    The Frankfurt school!

    These are the groups who have, still are killing us, our country’s and culture,

    Its a war now.

    Its time to Choose sides now,

    We’re in real war here,

    • I don´t know if it´s the real cause.

      The laicism has pursued the christians churchs for centuries. Now this is the result.

  3. “Humans have an evolved capacity to engage in self-deception in order to navigate through life in a delusional state of blissful ignorance.” – Gad Saad, B. 1964, Canadian-Lebanese Psychologist

  4. I encourage more Islamic jihadist attacks, for it is the only way you will get the average infidel to wake from it’s propaganda induced slumber. I used to have sympathy and empathy for those attacked by 3rd world Islamic savages, no more, it’s been almost 20 years since 9/11 and you still haven’t learned by now? You bloody get what you deserve. To those armed up and ready? I salute you, for you will not be alone. Be the Wolf, not the sheep.
