To say that an act of jihad terrorism is “senseless” is to obfuscate the issue of motive. It deflects attention away from what the jihad actually means.
Michael Copeland sends this timely reminder.
No, Starmer, the Solingen stabbings were not “senseless”
by Michael Copeland
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the Solingen stabbings as “senseless” while the media said the victims were “random”.
They were neither: The killer is Muslim, the victims non-Muslim. That is the salient distinction.
The attack was subsequently claimed by the Islamic State, who had, years ago, put out a call for Muslims to kill non-Muslims —”Kafirs”— howsoever they can, by stabbing, hitting with a rock, running over with a car and so on. The Solingen stabbings were Jihad.
“Jihad”, explains the manual of Islamic Law ‘Reliance of the traveller’, “means to war against non-Muslims”, and is a “communal obligation” [o9.0 and o9.1].
The pattern is well-established. It is self-evident with all the high profile attacks, 9/11, London Underground, Beslan, Madrid trains, the Bataclan, Manchester Arena, and any number of lesser stabbings, van rammings and so on. It is not difficult to spot. The killer was, as Lt. Col. Allen West puts it, “doing exactly what this book says.” The Koran instructs “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” [9:5], and “fight the unbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you” [9:123].
The Koran is not arranged chronologically. Chapter 9 is the latest revelation, and as such overrides and “abrogates” all peaceful verses elsewhere.
All of its text forms part of Islamic law. Denying any verse brings the death penalty, which can be exacted vigilante-style by anyone. There is no legal repercussion “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” [manual o8.7(7)].
As for motive, some insight may be gained from the Reading Park killer, an observant Muslim who targeted men who were not only Kafirs, but in same-sex relationships, forbidden by Islam. “I’m going to Paradise for the Jihad what I did to them,” he said. Where did he learn that teaching? From the mosque, of course.
Kafirs are “an ever-present enemy” [K4:101], “between us and you enmity and hatred forever” [K60:4]. Kafirs are not innocent: they have chosen the wrong path, as Anjem Choudary explained years ago to a disbelieving BBC. Killing Kafirs counts as good deeds.
Starmer, like so many politicians before him, is Jihad-blind. It is a major handicap to the nation.

I disagree, I believe he must be part of the Jihad, he just don’t want you to know.
When dealing with the middle easterners, one thing the “westerners” seem not to get is that in the “middle east” corruption of public officials is the name of the game. For one – public officials require bribes in order to do something, for two – they will even do great injustice if they get the proper bribe, and for three – if any of the clans or families from the middle east finds out that the public figure is not protected by some other clan or family – they will find him, they will attack him, blackmail him, threathen him – until he succumbs to their will.
Have you ever wondered why it took dictators like Saddam or Kaddafi to run the Middle East?
Welcome to the “New Normal”, dear Brits. I get the feeling that your country has a special place in the events that are coming to pass.
Muslim men practice pedophilia with young boys who are called Bacha Bazi. The are dressed in womens clothing with cosmetics on their faces.
I still believe that Muslims are the most evil people on planet earth.
Adolf Starmer is a useful idiot. His Deputy begged the Muslims in uk for their vote at the general election. That comes with a price that we started paying immediately the new government was installed. All Jews will eventually and not long now, leave UK for US and Israel etc. Then Starmer will experience “Iran 1979”.
