Greenfield: Europe’s Tolerance for Terrorists

Europe’s Tolerance for Terrorists The outrage in Amsterdam continues. December 22, 2017 Daniel Greenfield

Saleh Ali was one of 64,000 Syrian refugees living in the Netherlands. The vast majority, like Ali, are young men. And the largest number of these migrants spend their days idling in Amsterdam.

On Thursday morning, Saleh Ali took a walk to trendy Amstelveenseweg while wearing a keffiyah and waving a terrorist PLO flag. He stopped in front of a Jewish restaurant, shouted “Allahu Akbar” and began smashing the windows. The Amsterdam police stood by and watched quizzically until he was done. Then when he entered the restaurant, they finally called him out and arrested him.

And in two days he was back on the street.

Amsterdam is a very tolerant place. Not just of drugs or prostitution, but of Islamic violence.

Saleh Ali had lied about his past to get his temporary residence permit while claiming to be a refugee. He had combat training and had fought with Jihadists in and out of Syria. He told the police that he had been prepared to die in the attack on the restaurant and that he will continue engaging in violence.

But this information was kept secret until an anonymous source in the police department leaked it. The lawyer for HaCarmel, the restaurant that had been assaulted by the Islamic terrorist, issued a statement expressing outrage that the attacker who had pledged to commit more attacks was back on the street.

“It is incomprehensible and shocking that this man with a terrorist background, who claims to be prepared to commit violence, has been released,” wrote Herman Loonstein, a lawyer and Jewish civil rights activist. He warned that the attacker poses “a serious danger to society.”

And the prosecutor’s office took immediate action by filing a complaint against the restaurant’s lawyer. The Chief Officer of the Public Prosecution Service objected that, “sharing of information from the police interrogation report is ’inappropriate’". It’s inappropriate because it revealed that Saleh Ali should never have been in the Netherlands and that the authorities had stood around watching while a trained terrorist attacked a Jewish restaurant and then let him go even after he vowed to launch further attacks.

While the prosecutors went after the restaurant for exposing the terrorist past of the attacker, the attacker was headed back to court for an appearance before a three judge panel.

Saleh Ali wore camouflage to court. According to Matthys van Raalten, a conservative commentator, he told the court that, “he feels like a volcano that is waiting to erupt”. He had already informed an officer that “the attack on the kosher restaurant was only the “first step” and that a next step would come.

He refused to discuss what the next step would be.

So of course they let him go a second time.

“If we assume that this person is a danger to society, we will not just put this person on the street,” the Public Prosecution Service claimed.

But what more could Saleh Ali possibly do to prove he’s a danger to society?

He’s a Jihadist with weapons training who staged a violent attack, expressed a willingness to die during the attack, and promised that he would carry out future attacks, both to the police and the court.

Ali showed off a Koran, threatened violence and so the authorities, as they often do, decided that he might be suffering from psychological problems. And so the court released him for three months while a psychiatrist and a psychologist take turns trying to exonerate him on the grounds of mental illness.

Mental illness is a popular defense for Islamic terrorists in Europe.

A Muslim terrorist stabbed four people at a train station near Munich while screaming, “Allahu Akbar”. He shouted that his victims were all “unbelievers” and, “Infidel, you must die”.

The German authorities blamed mental illness.

In Russia, Gyulchekhra Bobokulova beheaded a 4-year-old girl and displayed her head in the street while shouting, “Allahu Akbar. I hate democracy. I am a terrorist. I want you dead.”

The Russian authorities decided that this could only mean mental illness.

In France, Karim Cheurfi had been investigated for terrorism activities for months. The French police had questioned him about his threats to kill police officers. Finally he opened fire on police officers in the Champs-Élysées. ISIS claimed credit for the attack. So of course his former lawyer claimed that he wasn't an Islamic terrorist, but suffered from a “psychologically fragile character”.

When Kobili Traore attacked Sarah Halimi, the 66-year-old director of an Orthodox Jewish nursery in Paris, while shouting, "Allahu Akbar", the police refused to do anything until she was thrown out of a window. The authorities then tried to blame the Muslim killer’s actions on "psychiatric problems."

Abdellah rammed his car into three Chinese students near a campus in a suburb of Toulouse. He told the police, “I am on a mission” and revealed that he had planned the attack for a month. The prosecutor insisted that it wasn’t terrorism. "What matters in this case is the psychiatric profile,” he said.

And you can bet that by the time the farce is done, Saleh Ali will also have a “psychiatric profile”. Sympathetic shrinks will reveal that he has a “psychologically fragile character” because his mother didn’t love him and his father was unimpressed by his Jewish restaurant window smashing skills.

The video and the police leak undermined the plot to pass Saleh Ali off as another poor, mentally ill terrorist whom only cruel bigots would accuse of being an anti-Semitic Jihadist. But Saleh is still back on the street. The court warned him to stay away from the Jewish restaurant he had already attacked.

Geert Wilders, the leader of the Freedom Party, declared that the authorities are putting “innocent Dutch people in great danger by letting terrorists run around freely.”

And Saleh Ali is one of thousands of Syrian migrants who are being allowed to run around freely. The authorities did everything they could to cover up his attack. Not only did they let a Jihadist stay in the Netherlands, but the Amsterdam police watched as he smashed up a Jewish restaurant. Then he was released twice, despite vowing violence twice, and the only meaningful action in this case was taken against a Jewish civil rights activist who had revealed his terrorist past and his threats of future violence.

According to Ali’s lawyer, the terrorist won’t carry out future attacks in the Netherlands. And he will only use violence in “self-defense”. Like defending himself against the windows of a Jewish eatery. But according to the lawyer, Ali only smashed the windows when he got mad that the door was closed.

The anti-Semitic terrorist’s lawyer insisted that his client has nothing against Jews, but actually likes living in a place where different religions can co-exist. Of course his idea of interfaith coexistence is being able to practice his Islamic religious beliefs about attacking Jews while everyone in the Netherlands practices their secular religion of tolerating Islamic violence.

Saleh Ali’s case is one of many. It stands out because his attack was caught on video. And because the police leak told us the rare truth about an Islamic terrorist’s actual motivation before the authorities could begin dissecting his “psychologically fragile character”.

The Netherlands, like many European countries, has welcomed in Syrian refugees and other Muslim migrants. And then it’s done its best to cover up the violence that they brought with them.

Amsterdam’s authorities have behaved the way that the Cologne police did after the mass migrant sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve. The police did little to stop them and the authorities denied everything. It was only when police sources leaked the truth about the assaults that the authorities were forced to put on a show of doing something. And that’s just as true in Amsterdam and across Europe.

European governments would rather tolerate terrorists than fight them. The No-Go Zone isn’t just a place; it’s a state of mind. The No-Go Zone is anywhere that Islamic supremacism is asserted with no meaningful resistance from law enforcement. The No-Go Zone can appear at any moment near you.

It can be a Jewish restaurant in a trendy Dutch neighborhood or New Year’s Eve celebrations outside a German cathedral. It’s anywhere that Muslim violence is tolerated and protected from criticism.

Saleh Ali and all his fellow colonists know that the European authorities can’t and won’t resist them. Because they would rather tolerate terrorists than tolerate those who tell the truth about Islam.

I just shake my head at how the Europeans are on the road to national suicide. Its likely already too late to do anything about it in western Europe. Just stunning.

Yep. Right now half the kindergardeners in France are Muslim, which means in 20 years half the 25 year olds will be and the majority of those younger.

What is the purpose of government?

If we look back at the dawn of civilization, we see the change fro hunter-gatherer people, living either in small clans or tribes, and having a very primitive form of government...the Family Unit. The purpose of the family unit was to protect the members.

Once humans began to cultivate the earth and harvest crops, and keep livestock, they were exposed to marauding raiders who wanted to take the fruits of their labor for themselves. Thus, the people who did the work coalesced into a form of village government, The purpose of this government was to protect the members.

As wealth increased, so did the danger from the raiders and looters. The villages grew larger and became surrounded by walls. People divided the labors among themselves, and became farmers, herders, craftspeople, and government. The purpose of the government was to protect the members.

Villages became cities, and the protectors became soldiers. People were needed to preside over the city to keep order, so the people learned that they would have to pay some kind of rent or tax to support the government. The purpose of the government was to protect the people.

The Feudal System developed where a King or leader owned the land and the people within the walls allowed themselves to become tenants or serfs in order to be safe within the walls, even if it was at the expense of their freedom. The purpose of government was to protect the people.

Since the Enlightenment, people began to realize how precious and important Freedom is to the Human Spirit. Yet, they still submit to a form of government. Ideally the purpose of a government over a free people is “To provide for the common defense”. The purpose of government, even today, is to protect the people from enemies foreign and domestic.

The purpose of government is NOT ruling over as many people as one can.
The purpose of government is NOT squeezing the people for as much tax revenue as one can.
The purpose of government is NOT being a petty despot, taking what one wants without consequences.
The purpose of government is NOT EVEN educating or feeding the people.

The primary purpose of government, from the earliest conception of government, has been this one thing:

To protect the people from raiders.

Everything else was added later.

The European elites like the Muslim terrorists because the Muslims hate the Jews.

What really gets their back up is when Trump does something like acknowledging that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. That warrants emergency meetings at the UN and fiery condemnations of the US.

Most European countries have willingly accepted to replace their White nominal Christian population with people who kill Whites/Christians. The outcome of this cannot be good.

In order to make acceptance easier, they are jailing those who speak out against it.

4 more years and the UK flag will no longer have the St George cross in it.

This shit will only stop when enough of the jihad preaching imams get dragged into the street and given the Vlad Tepes treatment. They are cowards who send their weak minded slaves out to do their dirty work. Only when they discover that they themselves will have to pay a very painful price for their hate preaching, will they decide their “jihad” should be an internal emotional process involving peaceful means only.

A very Lockean post.

When government fails to keep up its end the compact, the people are free to revert to the Law of Nature.

The western Europeans have no stomach or backbone to do what is necessary. They are weak and worthless against the most serious threat to them since Hitler. It makes me realize how worthless they would be as allies if Russia came across.
