It was mainly the “young asylum seekers” who were behind the sex attacks against women in Östersund during the winter and spring says Stephen Jerand, Police Area Manager in Jämtland, to Östersund Posten.

On the night of March 6 two women were assaulted in central Östersund. On one occasion, a woman around 25 was knocked down Prästgatan (Priest Street) in center town by three men who then tried to rip off her clothes.

Later that night another woman was assaulted in the central part of the city. She was knocked down by a man who tried to press her head against the ground before he gave up and disappeared from the scene.

On both occasions, the perpetrators were identified as immigrants.

The two attacks were just two in a series of assaults against women in Östersund that caused the police to, a few days later, go out with a warning to the women of the city.

We encourage people, especially women not to move out alone at night, said police area manager Stephen Jerand on 7 March.

But the warning not to go out alone at night did not prevent the perpetrators from attacking during the daytime. At five o’clock on the afternoon of March 11 an 18-year old woman was assaulted and beaten after she refused to give her phone number to a group of immigrants.

The attack, which occurred in the town center near a shopping mall, was the eleventh reported assault to the police over the course of just a few weeks.

The Police Report

But Östersund is not the only city in Sweden that is being hit by a wave of rapes and sexual assaults against women in the wake of the influx of asylum seekers.

Last month police received a report that shows that refugee and other immigrant groups were behind at least 80 percent of the sexual molestation reported in Swedish swimming establishments last year.

The report also addresses other sexual molestation and assault against women, which occurred at the establishments, and notes that they too are mostly perpetrated by immigrants.

The report portrayed additionally, eleven cases in which girls and young women were exposed to everything from sexual molestation to rape.

Stephen Jerand now confirms to the local newspaper that it is the same situation Östersund as it is in the rest of Sweden, and that is that it is immigrants who are behind the vast majority of assaults against women in the city.

When we receive refugees it is essential to let them know the rules that exist in Sweden and that women are also covered by them.

Assaults on Danish grad-carts in Copenhagen

From this Danish news site:

Everyone is familiar with the sight of open-bodied trucks filled with noisy happy students. It is a Danish tradition that students in high spirits drive around for visits to individual students’ homes on the day they don their graduation cap.

So it was with a class from Ørestad Gymnasium. But a day which began with celebration and joy was turned into something of a nightmare when a group of immigrant men attacked the wagon firing various “missiles”.

It happened in a tenement Hørgården on Amager, where many immigrants live. Here Mohamed also lives, he was one of the students on the wagon.

A group of migrant boys and young men had planned an attack. In a video you can see how the waste containers were rolled out on the road to block the vehicle while students were inside at Mohamed’s family’s apartment. Watch the video here:

The driver, Brian Brandt, who stayed down by the truck, said he could see a group of youngsters with eggs, water balloons and cooking oil gather together on a nearby lawn. More and more people came to join them.

As the students came down the street one of the immigrant boys stood ready with a bottle of cooking oil, which was shaken and then sprayed over them. Then the rest of the group began to bombard the students with water balloons, eggs and flour.

Brian Brandt, who has been driving these student parties 20 years, says he has never experienced anything like it.

It was a shock to see these young mens’ behavior. All the attackers were of ethnic background, and they were totally indifferent to what I said to them. At one point I was afraid that they would smash the truck, says Brian Brandt to Ekstra Bladet.

He quickly tried to get the truck quickly away from the narrow Bryde Alley but it was difficult as the road was blocked by containers.

“They barricaded themselves and were ready with eggs by the containers, so I chose to back out. But when I get a ways down the road, I encounter other vehicles, says Brian Brandt to Ekstra Bladet. These can also be seen on the video.

Meanwhile the attackers bombarded the truck with eggs and water balloons and even jump up on the side of the truck and begin pouring cooking over some students who were trying to hide under a some banners which they had torn from the side of the wagon.

One of the students at the wagon was Stina Marie Carlsen. She tells about the experience which for her was a huge shock:

“I noticed that a crowd of about 20 young people start to congregate around the truck, but don’t otherwise think anything of it. When we get up in the back of the truck, they suddenly began attacking us and throwing eggs and oil and flour. Several of my classmates begin to pull some carpets of the pallet tables that were in the middle of the vehicle, while the others pulled banners from the side of the truck in an attempt to use these as protection, “says Stina Marie Carlsen to BT.

“I was beginning to think about how to get away from there as the driver could not drive anywhere. Imagine if they came up to us in the wagon! At the same time it was really disgusting to feel egg and flour running down my head and my back. I was completely soaked afterwards and it stank terribly, “she says to BT.

Stina Marie Carlsen was afraid that the rest of the day would be ruined and the student run canceled as the truck was completely covered in eggs and oil after the attck

The trip, however, was completed, although only with effort.

“I had to shower a total of three times during the rest of the trip because I could not get the smell of eggs and oil away. At the same time I kept finding eggshells in my hair. My mother had to come with a change of clothes for me, “says Stina Marie Carlsen to BT.

Mohamed: It was just for fun – Police: We take it very seriously

Mohamed El Ar Bagi tells EB, that it really was for him the eggs were intended and that the throwing of eggs after students had been a tradition in the area for some years, he says.

But this time they may have gone too far. But we just laughed and blotches of egg on my student cap is only a dear memory of the day, says Mohamed.

Others are also trying to downplay the attack. They’re just little boys, they said. But on the video you can see that they are big guys.

Others have also a completely different assessment.

The driver says it was like a war zone in Beirut.

One of the residents calls what he saw for a commando raid.

And the police have received at least five reports on the matter. They had officers in the area for several hours. And the constable in charge said that they are taking the matter very seriously.

A Danish tradition on its way to being destroyed

The attack on the students may well be a warning sign that a good Danish tradition may be on the way to being destroyed.

Mohamed said that the eggs are a tradition in the area. Amongst immigrants that is.

But it is apparent not only in Hørgården on Amager this is happening.

Valby

In Valby was another vehicle from Ørestad Gymnasium came under attack.

“Five young people suddenly began to throw rocks at us when we were leaving. We drove toward a traffic light, and they followed us and waited for the truck to stop at a red light. There they threw rocks at us, and one of them hit me right on the head, says graduate, Manon Pignot to TV2 Lorry on the 26th.

Husum

At Husum Station in Copenhagen two female students were sprayed in the eyes with acid during their student drive on Friday. The liquid was apparently sprayed with a water gun from a car. It sent the two girls to the hospital, where they had to endure an almost two-hour long rinse treatment. (Jamie – elsewhere in the news I have read that they had damage to their corneas).

Copenhagen

Soren Elkrog was a driver this past Friday on a student truck. He saw four immigrants throwing eggs at the vehicle. They had no connection with or relationship to any of the students on the truck.

Advedøre

Another team of students have had eggs thrown onto them on their truck tells a group of HF students from VUC in Hvidovre Sunday evening to Ekstra Bladet.

It happened at Naver gate in Avedøre and the road leading to Avedøre Station. It is an area inhabited by many with immigrant backgrounds.

Around 4-5 big guys threw eggs at the the 25 students on the truck.

They were waiting for us, says Steven Button, who sent photos to Ekstra Bladet.

Nørrebro

And last night came a description of Nørrebro (on FB), where smaller immigrant boys threw water balloons after a group of students. It was later taken off from FB due to disagreement with the comments witten.

Both Ekstra Bladet, BT and the police talk about other examples of the same thing happening – albeit apparently not so violent.

It is feared that the attacks will spread as the number of immigrant background become students.

The attacks often hit all the students on a truck.

Many immigrants come from non-Western Muslim countries with generally violent cultures.

There is much violence in everyday life amongst immigrants in Denmark and in other European countries.

It is possible that the reason for this particular attack was Mohamed. But the reality that was serious violence hit all the students present on the truck.

Finn tells us that he heard shouts of “Nak dem alle” (get all of them).

A Danish tradition may be under attack, and it can be gone before we know it.

German-Christian Iconography. What does it reveal?

Posted on by

A good friend of the Counter-Jihad had spent some time as a fine arts major in a German University.

She informed me that there is, it seems, a curious tradition in German classical art that many of us may find quite intriguing,

The term for it is “Mondsichelmadonna” which means “sickle moon Madonna.”

The images are of the Virgin Mary, usually holding something like a scepter, and standing on a crescent moon.

The moon, I am told, must also have a specific feature.

The moon must have a face, and that face must look unhappy.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The icons can be seen all over Germany, although they are not so common as perhaps once, they might have been.

Many date back to the late 1600s like this one, which is right at the center of München.

If you zoom in on the statue, you get a better idea. This one is said to be at the geographical center of München and all roads lead away from this point.

PhotoZoom Classic 6ScreenSnapz017

Axis of symmetry was reversed in this enlargement

An interesting set of features. The Virgin Mary, a baby Jesus, a scepter of some kind and standing on an unhappy crescent moon.

Our friend tells us that no one knows what any of this means anywhere. not in the usual literature and certainly no university prof. or purveyor of the narrative has any idea what these things means.

I suppose that means they will be removed soon, despite having been there since the 1500s.

I suppose in a way, this can be thought of as the German equivalent of the classical tradition of iconic art  known as The Pietà, except with the added element of the scepter and the unhappy crescent moon.

They must have a crescent moon. It must have a face, And it must be unhappy.

One wonders why a solidly iconic figure would be portrayed as standing on an unhappy crescent moon’s face in and around the 1500s and 1600s in Germany.

It may be impossible to figure that out. There is, as German art profs insist, “there is simply no way to know.”

And yet there it is all over German art in that period, and represented in magnificent statuary all over Germany.

The moon face on the top image seems to be wearing a cap of some kind.

But that cannot possibly have anything to do with the meaning of the imagery.

Riemenschneider

 

No doubt just an ancient teutonic custom from the renaissance with no actual meaning whatsoever to be discarded ad abandoned with last week’s milk. The cost of making these must have been the ransom of a Sultan though, if Europeans where the sort of folks who took Sultans hostage and ransomed them. So it must have meant something to them at the time.

Perhaps if enough grant money is found, and all arts schools can be funded enough to destroy all the research, its possible that the meaning of the unhappy crescent moon with a sad face and a sort of cap on can be forgotten forever in case the facts of history may offend those people currently in the process of rewriting it all.

Private School: Imam refuses handshake and lodges complaint against teacher

Posted on by

AN original translation by Egri Nok with much thanks!

From this German Website

 

BERLIN. A Muslim father refused to shake hands with a female teacher in the Pankow district of Berlin. The educator from the private Platanus School accused the man of lack of respect and misogyny, and ended the conversation. The father, who had been at the school for a discussion about his son, lodged a criminal complaint against the teacher, RBB (public radio) reported.

Prior to the conflict pupils had been roughhousing, for which the imam’s son had received a written warning. The boy’s father, Imam Kerim Ucar, a devout Shiite from Eastern Turkey, after several academic talks with the mother, had according to the broadcaster been invited to the school, too.

Hand on the heart

Even as he entered the conference room, Ucar made it clear hat for religious reasons he could not shake a woman’s hand. According to the couple, the teacher asked the imam four times to offer his hand. The gesture was a German custom and a vital affirmation of respect, she explained.

Ucar rejected the request politely but firmly, and put his hand on his heart, which in his religion is the highest possible testimony of respect for a woman. Subsequently the teacher allegedly became loud, and ended the talk.

School contract cancelled

The school declined to comment on the incident, but intends to remain in dialogue with the family. The parents cancelled the schooling contract, retained a lawyer, and lodged a criminal complaint for insult and violation of the dignity of religion.

This past spring, a similar case in Switzerland caused worldwide headlines. Teachers in the Swiss canton Baselland can now insist that Muslim scholars must shake hands, the educational administration of the canton decided. Despite freedom of religion, schools may “demand a handshake and use the sanction options of the educational law,” the authority informed. The equality of man and woman, and integration, were more important than the pupils’ freedom of religion.

[Once again we see that multiculturalism really means any culture that is European or North American will have priority. The German custom of shaking hands to establish equality and trust, will likely be sidelined for the Islamic one of not touching women unless its under … Islamic conditions.]

 

Who is the hostage taker from Viernheim?

Posted on by

An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks

From PI News:

The police have successfully averted the danger of an armed man in the Theater complex Kinopolis. The man was shot. According to information the guns were ‘alarm guns’ (fake). Now his identity is being established.*

A man was shot at a special police intervention in the south hessian town of Viernheim. Towards 14:45 an emergency call was made to the Police station Southhessian, whereby a masked and armed man was seen at the Theater complex Kinopolis.

Apparently he had threatened employees with a machine gun, then he shot four shots, and entered the fully occupied theater. According to a young cinema employee who activated the silent alarm, the offender was 18 to 22 years old, and about 1.75 meters tall.

He had made a somewhat confused impression, the hessian minister of the inner Peter Beuth (CDU) has said. Four shots were fired, and hostages were also within the “influence area of the offender”, according to Beuth’s information. From what has been found so far the weapons of the attacker were fake guns. From the about 30 people in the cinema nobody was injured.

Nobody could give any information about the identity of the offender so far. He didn’t carry any ID papers. There is no hint towards an islamic background, the police has said. The motives have to first be found, as soon as the identity of the man has been established. The office of the district attorney Darmstadt and the Hessian regional Office of Criminal Investigation have picked up the investigation.

Special police forces from Frankfurt were on location within a very short time. Apparently they were flown to the site via helicopter. When the police entered the theater room, the attacker was killed. Towards 18:00 the operation was over.

The police has established a gag order. One hospital in Darmstadt announced that they had activated their emergency plan. They were prepared for multiple injured people.

[there will be more to this story.. Waiting for translation on exactly what the “gag order” is]

Dispute about bathing rules in Saxony, Refugee hostel next to Nudist camp: Nudists indignant as they are supposed to cover up

Posted on by

An original translation by Egri Nok

From this German news site:

The planned establishment of a refugee hostel in Saxony has caused a stir among the 400 members of the local nudist club.
Now the nudists of the Volkersdorf Forest Pond are on the barricades. Cause they are supposed to cover up when they want to bathe in the future.

The members of the Family Sports- and Nudist-Club, Waldteichfreunde Moritzburgì, have been enjoying the Nudist culture at the Upper Forest Pond in Volkersdorf since 1905. However, the construction of the refugee camp in sight of the nude swimming area of the Club now causes resentment. The club called upon the country to provide funds for a privacy screen.
But instead, the German Society for Bathing Matters sent them the pool rules, Bild newspaper reports. Rule number nine states: The usage of the swimming bath is only permitted in swimwear. The billboards are laminated and features this point in German, Albanian, Arabic and Persian language.

The Nudists are shocked. They want to decide for themselves what they do on their own premises. The club therefore refuses to display these rules.
Bathing Matters spokesman Joachim Heuser threatens: “If the club changes the rules, they will not be allowed to advertise with our logo anymore”, he tells Bild.

In the dispute about the rules the district is showing good will towards the Nudists: they will provide the required privacy shield at the refugee center.

NRW: Arsenal of weapons with “heavy war weaponry” excavated near Mosque

Posted on by

An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks

From this German Website, Epoch Times:

An arsenal of weapons of radical islamists was excavated in NRW, North Rhine Westphalia. The “Top secret assignment” took one week and brought heavy war arsenal to the surface. This is what Hessian delegate Ismail Tipi (CDU) says.

According to information of the hessian CDU delegate Ismail Tipi a “top secret assignment” of the SEK in North Rhine Westphalia took place. In the cooler room of a vegetable vendor near a mosque, weapons were found and seized. “According to my information at this particular operation, an arsenal with heavy war weaponry was found.

The danger of arming of the fundamentalists and willing to resort to violence salafists in Germany is very high. This was shown clearly by this secret operation”, said Tipi on Friday at a press conference.

The Extremism expert also assumes that more weapons stocking took place in other cities. For instance the Hamburg intelligence service for constitutional protection also speaks of a heightened number of supporters of armed jihad.

In the meantime more than 300 people in Hamburg have been identified as supporters of armed jihad. The fear is that salafist sleepers, jihadists and IS terrorists in Germany find support through foreign intelligence services, that aren’t friendly to German interests. Through these weapons arsenals militant jihadists and sleepers will be equipped with weapons in their preparations for attacks”, the turkish born delegate says.

Politicians have to speak straight talk”

Tipi warns: “If these worries prove to be true, we can expect that these secret weapons arsenals will be used for terrorist attacks not only in Germany but in entire of Europe. It would be extremely negligent if we do not address this danger and do everything to find these arsenals.” One problem is that many battle seasoned young salafists come back to Germany from combat zones and implanted themselves among the stream of migrants, the press briefing further mentions.

“We have to see this threat and we need to act fast. Here, our security administration is asked to look at this very clearly and hard, to investigate precise, and to share as much of the information as possible among relevant administrations and services”, Tipi says.

And, he demands: “Politicians have to speak straight talk, they have to address the possible danger and threats, they have to educate the population and call for a full awakening and to report to the police any type of suspicious activity. The problem of Salafism and IS terror gets bigger and bigger if we don’t all react. Here, each and everyone of us is asked to step up.”

Tipi’s political engagement against radical Salafists has already led to death threats against him.

Larossi Abballa: a lone wolf, really?

Posted on by

An original translation by Ava Lon with much thanks!

From this French language news site:

The Point.fr had access to documents that establish concrete links between Larossi Abballa and jihadists well known to the authorities.
They are three to have been placed in custody in connection with the investigation of Larossi Abballa, the murderer of a couple of policemen in Magnanville. Although one man emerged free, Rajraji Saad Sharaf Din Aberouz, 27 and 29, were brought before the public prosecutor for a possible indictment. Both were familiar with Larossi Abballa. They were convicted and imprisoned at the same time, clearly evolving in jihadist circles. Abballa’s relational map is gradually emerging . It indicates that the author of the two murders maintained direct links with members of the group responsible for the Buttes-Chaumont, Forsane Alizza or the Casablanca attacks.The theory of “lone wolf” seems less and less likely.
Sharaf Din Aberouz is a relative of Larossi Abballa. The two men were part of a group of seven French suspected of having links with Taliban and Al-Qaeda.Two of them were arrested in Lahore by Pakistani intelligence in 2011, just before reaching Waziristan, where they planned to train for jihad. Back then Sharaf Din Aberouz was 25 years old.He was sentenced to five years in prison in France for criminal association for the preparation of a terrorist act. He was released on 12 November 2015 on a conditional remission.
“Violent in its relations with the disbelievers”
According to the information we have seen, he was far from being a perfect prisoner. The prison administration calls him “radicalized”, behaving “like a recruiter”, and notes: “he approaches newcomers detainees, promotes Islam and begins teaching individuals that he takes under his tutelage.”
On 21 February 2012, Sharaf Din Aberouz organized a gathering of forty prisoners during the walk and gave a speech for 10 minutes ” while the prisoners present -that seemed conquered and admiring- listened in complete silence” noted the worried agents. On January 27, 2013, he delivered a call to prayer in the middle of the night. On June 6, the guards reported behavior “violent in his relations with the disbelievers,” December 31, 2014, he welcomed the announcement of the execution of Hervé Gourdel in Algeria.
To prevent him from radicalizing all his fellow prisoners, he was transferred from one establishment to another five times over a period of three and a half years.
Those trips in French prisons were also an opportunity to make friends with bigwigs of Islamist terrorism. He met Maximilian Thibaut, member of the group Forsane Alizza – called nickel feet of jihad – and Teddy Valcy, well known relation of brothers Kouachi Amedy Coulibaly, perpetrators of the attacks of January. Even more troubling, the prison administration noted that Larossi Abballa was friends with Rachid Ait El Hadj, a terrorist, also a native of Mureaux, convicted in 2007 for the Casablanca attacks. The latter was stripped of his French nationality in October 2015. He was not the only member of the Casablanca bombings group that knew Abballa: as explained by our RTL colleagues, Fouad Charouali (also stripped of his nationality), mastermind behind the Casablanca bombings, was a neighbor of the Abballa family. They lived in the same building.
A self-proclaimed imam
Another relationship brought before the prosecutor, Saad Rajraji. He too was part of the Pakistani jihadist connection busted in 2011. Sentenced to 5 years in prison, he was free since November 2014. He was also associating with people that aroused the suspicions of the secret service.In the phone seized by the prison administration, there could be found under different names, four telephone numbers corresponding to Bouchnak Thamer, a self-proclaimed imam, considered responsible for the radicalization of many inmates.The latter organized the reading of religious texts during walks and enjoyed the attention of many stooges “because of his mastery of religious texts,” noted the administration.
Thamer Bouchnak was a member of the group of the Buttes-Chaumont and trained … Cherif Kouachi. Bouchnak knows very well Djamel Beghal, a former GIA and al-Qaida.According to a source close to the case, Thamer Bouchnak was previously considered by the intelligence services as “most likely to take action.” The investigation is ongoing and will determine whether Larossi Abballa acted on orders received and if he had any accomplices.

In the Netherlands, Muslims are doing the now traditional, attacks on city busses with stones.

There are two articles in Dutch below. I hope to get them translated but try Google Translate for the moment:

12 – 13 JUNE 2016.  ALMERE, HAARLEM, NETHERLANDS, NOS JOURNAAL,

Violent actions of Muslim youths (especially of North African origin) toward persons and property belong to the Ramadan tradition in the Netherlands, as much as the Mathãus Passion of J.S. Bach to the days before Easter.

In the night between Saturday and Sunday (12 – 13 June) were city busses in the Dutch city of Haarlem pelted by heavy paving stones. A 25 y.o. passenger was hit and brought to the hospital with head injury. The window panes of the bus were broken to pieces.

In Almere had bus company CONNEXXION stop it’s services to the suburb Kruidenwijk after non stop attacks on city busses that had taken place three nights in a row. The busses were attacks by pelted heavy rocks committed by a group of 30 – 40 persons. Attacks on busses had also taking place in Utrecht and  Zaandam.
