islamist Terror has returned to Europe but in truth it never really went away on the 23rd of August the German city of zingan was the scene of an all too familiar and barbaric crime Issa alh a suspected member of Islamic State slashed at the necks of people in a crowd as they gathered to celebrate the city's 650th anniversary he killed three people and injured eight more Islamic State swiftly took responsibility calling this murderer a soldier and hailing the attack as an act of Revenge for the Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere the Killer is a Syrian Asylum Seeker who was slated for deportation last year to Bulgaria the place where he had first registered for Asylum he only managed to stay in Germany because he was not at his accommodation when immigration officials showed up to collect him in Germany this kind of islamist nihilism is disturbingly becoming the new normal in May in the city of Manheim a suspected islamist extremist stabbed six people at an anti-islam rally a police officer later succumbed to his injuries what's more the number of foiled plots in Germany even over the past few months is staggering in June during the European football championship an Iraqi Isis Sleeper Agent was arrested in a town close to stutgart in July another Isis plot was foiled after a string of raids ahead of the Euros final between England and Spain in April three teenagers aged 15 15 and 16 were arrested on suspicion of glorifying the Islamic States and planning attacks on churches in March two Afghan Nationals were arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting an attack on the Swedish Parliament they reportedly had the backing of Isis K Islamic State offshoot in Pakistan and Afghanistan last December German police arrested four suspected Hamas members planning to store weapons in Berlin so as to attack Jewish sites in November two boys 15 and 16 were arrested after they were caught discussing a potential attack on a synagogue or a Christmas Market incredibly I could go on for every islamist attack that comes to fruition many more are disrupted or foiled the story is the same across Europe last month were it not for a CIA tip off Austria might have suffered one of the worst ever islamist atrocities on European soil a 19-year-old and Austrian with North Macedonian roots and a 17-year-old Austrian of Turkish and Croatian descent had planned to kill as many people as they possibly could using knives and homemade bombs at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna the authorities believed the attack was inspired by Islamic State mercifully the WBY terrorists were apprehended before they could carry out their plans time and again the response from the elites to Islam Terror follows a depressingly similar pattern we Europeans are exalted to mourn to express shock at attacks carried out or relief at attacks foiled before briskly moving on politicians will crack down on certain types of weapons or pledge to close Asylum loopholes exploited by Terror groups and sympathizers before getting back to what they see as the proper business of politics Thus We've Come to treat acts of islamist barbarism almost as if they were natural disasters awful awful things that just happen from time to time islamist killing ings also now seem to disappear from media discussion remarkably quickly Brits could be forgiven for not remembering that there was an islamist terror attack in Harley pool back in October him him a Moroccan Asylum Seeker inspired by hamas's pogram in Israel stabbed his Iranian housemates who' converted to Christianity before killing a 70-year-old man in the streets and SL due to reporting restrictions the attack couldn't be properly discussed at the time and it completely faded from the public Consciousness since in recent years Europe has been spared the kind of mass casualty attacks we saw when the Islamic State was at its height when it was calling for cold blooded murder from its vicious caliphates in Syria and Iraq atrocities like the Paris attacks which claimed 130 lives have in large part given way to smaller scale knife and car attacks often called for though not always organized by islamist Terror groups but this will be of no Comfort to the families of those who have lost their lives to islamist killers in recent years plus there is reason to fear following the near Miss in Vienna that more large scale attacks might be coming Isis K having gained a bloody foothold in South Central Asia has also begun to make its presence felt Beyond Pakistan and Afghanistan in March four terrorists associated with Isis K killed a horrifying 145 people at the crocus city hall music venue in Moscow another unspeakable horror perpetrated within Europe that many in Western capitals seem to have already forgotten about that this terroristic fascistic threat is not at the center of political discussion across Europe is mindboggling there are an alarming number of people born and raised in Western societies who are turning guns and knives and bombs on their fellow citizens there are foreign born extremists exploiting LAX border enforcement presided over by inept politically correct politicians to inflict harm on innocent people and this is as much a threat to newcomers as it is to born and bred Europeans in saing and just as in harleypool one of those who narrowly survived the attack was an Iranian Refugee but in the UK in many other European countries the elite seem desperate to change the subject often to the question of the far right following the UK's recent Spates of race riots or labor government has talked about little else far right extremist the farri thuggery there's a new generation to call the edl to the extent the commentar is concerned about islamist terrorism they only seem concerned that it will fuel a supposedly burgeoning far rights backlash I yes murder three at that Festival in Germany when you look at something like this you're just really worry about how it could be used um by by those on the far right to to stir up hatred those riots egged on by hard rights influences should horrify anyone who stands Against Racism and bigotry still it is grotesque to use the real but mercifully small threat posed by the far rights to deflect attention away from islamist extremism not least because islamist extremism accounts for the vast vast majority of the terror threat that we Face since 2005 95 people have been killed in Britain in islamist Terror attacks during that same period the far rights have killed three people islamist extremism also accounts for three quarters of mi5's terrorism case load but you wouldn't get that impression from the mainstream media worse still these skewed priorities seem to be shared among some of those charged with keeping us safe according to recent figures just 11% of the referrals to prevent the UK's program aimed at stopping people being drawn into terrorism are for islamist extremism while 18% are for right-wing extremism an independent review of event published by William shawcross in 2023 concluded that the boundaries around what is considered to be islamist extremism in the program are quote drawn too narrowly unquote while those drawn around right-wing extremism are quote too broad unquote so much so that what is considered to be right-wing extremism within prevents now includes aing mildly controversial or provocative forms of mainstream right-wing leaning commentary according to shawcross the German government has taken a similarly warped approach to this threat when Nancy faser became interior minister in 2022 one of her first acts was to abolish an expert government working group on islamism she set up one on islamophobia instead politicians pundits and even some anti-extremism experts all seem gripped by the same genuinely bigoted belief that to confront islamist Terror too forcefully risks alienating Muslims and fueling far-right violence this treats both Muslims and non-muslims with contempt it conflates Muslims with extreme exists and everyone else with violent racists all the while our Elites are turning a blind eye to a poisonous truly fascistic ideology that is claiming Life After Life in Europe that has no truck with our values of Freedom democracy and tolerance The Silence of the elites on islamist terrorism reflects a deadly cowardice one we cannot indulge any longer
