Vienna: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ try to burn Christmas tree, say it ‘has no place in the Muslim district’
JAN 6, 2021 3:00 PM
“‘The Christmas tree has no place in the Muslim district,'”
Translated from “‘Christbaum hat in muslimischem Bezirk nichts verloren,'” Heute, Jan 5, 2021
The police report now shows how intense the rioting was on the night of Favoriten (a district in Vienna). One suspect testified why a Christmas tree should burn.
Shortly after midnight, around 40 young people got together, made massive use of pyrotechnics, and tried to break into a jewelry store. The pressure waves from the pyrotechnic objects were so strong that several windows were broken at once. The Christmas tree was also showered with a mixture of diesel and gasoline, and several garbage cans flew through the air and / or against the windows of shops on Reumannplatz.
“Muslim District”
The fire brigade, police and ambulance were quickly at the site, and the tree was covered with extinguishing foam. “A Christmas tree has no place in a Muslim district, said one of the rioters,” said one of the emergency services. Several officers were pelted with rockets and “Allahu Akbar” slogans by the raging mob, and there were nine short-term arrests – you can read more about this here.
“A Christmas tree has no place in a Muslim district"! This is a glimpse of what is to come as Muslim families grow much faster than European families. Also, migrants are still entering Europe. So, the amount of land called 'Muslim districts' will grow rapidly until Muslims outnumber the native populations of European countries, whereupon every district will be considered Muslim and there will be no room for Christmas trees, or Christians, or anyone who doesn't worship Allah and his prophet.
The investigations into serious damage to property, theft by burglary, attempted serious bodily harm and according to the narcotics law are ongoing.
Security Summit
Police President Gerhard Pürstl now wants to invite you to a security summit, while the SP is calling for concrete solutions. The FP warns of a “wishy-washy” summit.

alleged funding of Syrian Islamist group

Three people have been arrested in Germany over their alleged financing and support for terrorism abroad, including raising online donations for a Syrian Islamist group, federal prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday.
Federal police officers detained the trio in the early hours of Thursday morning, with arrests in the southern cities of Ulm and Munich, and the northern town of Delmenhorst.
Their apartments were searched, while police also raided the properties of 11 other people suspected of aiding terrorism abroad.
The three people arrested are accused of financing terrorism, supporting a terrorist organization abroad and violating the Foreign Trade Act.
A federal judge will decide on Thursday whether they should be placed into pre-trial detention.
Prosecutors said two German men, identified as Tassilo M and Önder A, along with a German woman – who also had Serbian and Kosovan citizenship – funded Syrian-based Sunni Islamist group Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from across Europe.
Alleged HTS member Önder A is said to have set up an online fundraising page in Turkey, through which prosecutors claim he funded the group's “jihad” by publicly securing cash to procure weapons and support militants abroad.
The man named as Tassilo M is alleged to have sent Önder A money on three occasions to be used by HTS in Syria, while the female suspect, Valdete M, is accused of making two transactions in 2018.
HTS is an umbrella organization of other Islamist terrorist groups, which prosecutors said has “the goal of overthrowing the Syrian government by force and establishing a ‘state of God’ in the country.”
The group dominates Syria's northwestern province of Idlib, and split from Al-Qaeda in 2016, when it was known as the Al-Nusra Front.
'Egyptian spy' who worked in Angela Merkel's press office
for 20 years, charged in Germany

German prosecutors have charged an alleged Egyptian spy who worked in Chancellor Angela Merkel's press office in Berlin for 20 years, claiming his espionage efforts date back to at least July 2010.
Identified in a statement from the German Federal Prosecutor's Office on Monday as Amin K., the suspect first joined the German government's press office in 1999 in the area of visitor services, and worked there until 2019, when he came under investigation.
German news outlets reported that he'd worked as a mid-level employee, meaning he would have taken a special exam and undergone at least two years of vocational training to get the job.
The suspect, a German citizen, is alleged to have aided Egyptian intelligence by "observing and evaluating the media with regard to German domestic and foreign policy," prosecutors said. The charges also claim Amin K participated in an unsuccessful bid to "recruit a source for the Egyptian secret service" by providing them with "the necessary contact."
The suspect was also occasionally invited to official receptions in Germany, including a farewell event for the previous Egyptian ambassador to Germany in 2019.
In return for supplying Cairo with information, Amin K. secured "preferential treatment" for himself and his family, the German indictment said, including support for his mother in "asserting her Egyptian pension claims."
The German government has previously stressed that the former press office worker did not have access to sensitive information. "Direct access to data from the parliamentary visit programme or other government press office databases, in particular media accreditation and the media service, was not possible," a spokesperson said in August.
According to an annual report presented by Germany's Minister for the Interior Horst Seehofer in July, Cairo had tried to monitor Egyptians living abroad, potentially in an effort to keep tabs on dissent against President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi.
"There are indications that Egyptian services are trying to recruit Egyptians living in Germany for intelligence purposes through their visits to Egyptian diplomatic missions in Germany and their trips to Egypt," the report read.
Jordanians Have Spoken – The Muslim Brotherhood Is Out,
Is The King Next?
Micha Gefen, Israel Rising
November 15, 2020
Israel has always put up with the King of Jordan’s addiction to the Muslim Brotherhood. After all, the King has served the Israeli government’s interest by providing a sort of known quantity on its Eastern border. True, he supports repressive laws in his country, a form of Apartheid against Palestinians living there and he cozies up to anti-semites around the Middle East.
Israel put up with the King’s hatred of the Jewish people and their right to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel, because until this summer Jordan and Egypt represented the only Arab states that were willing to make peace with the Jewish State.
With the UAE and Bahrain signing the Abraham Accord, Jordan’s King no longer has a use for Israel nor the Gulf States. In fact, his long-standing pact with the Muslim Brotherhood may in fact be the very reason none of the Sunni Gulf States want to put up with him anymore.
This is why the recent elections in Jordan were such a blow to the King and his Islamicist partners.
Abed AlMaala, deputy secretary-general of the Jordanian opposition said: “In Jordan, 3 things are clear. First, the King has placed himself above the Constitution, so he can do what he wants. Second, he appoints both the Prime Minister and all the members of the Upper House of Parliament. Finally, no one can run for office of any type without the king’s permission. Usually this means swearing allegiance and paying a hefty fee (bribe) to be on the ballot. Once on the ballot, it is almost assured that you will win, because it implies that the king has blessed your candidacy.”
For years now, there has been a growing grassroots movement opposing the Hashemite Royal Family. As the average Jordanian has seen a steep decline in his finances and quality of life, the animosity between the masses and the regime has grown.
In order to hold back the citizenry, the King has instituted repressive measures, but now they are in fact beginning to falter as well.
If the King cannot stablize his Kingdom, Israel may see its Eastern neighbor enter the type of chaos it was worried about to its North. Then again, with the UAE and Bahrain, it may be high time that the King is shown the door anyway. It is kind of hard to distract your citizens by blaming their lot on Israel when the UAE and Bahrain, both very successful see things quite differently.
Irish ISIS wife granted bail on conditions including internet ban

Former Defence Forces soldier is accused of membership of terrorist organisation

Former Irish Defence Forces soldier Lisa Smith, who is facing trial accused of membership of the terrorist organisation Isis, has been granted bail with strict conditions including an internet and social media ban.
The former soldier, who left Ireland and married after she converted to Islam, had been found in a Syrian refugee camp, and after a trek to Turkey with her daughter, aged two, she was brought back to Ireland on December 1st last.
She was arrested on arrival and questioned for three days before she was charged with being a member of the Islamicist terror group.
She had bail refused on December 4th at Dublin District Court, and she has been held at Limerick Prison.
Family members were caring for her child, the court then heard.
The 37-year-old brought her renewed bail application to the High Court in Cloverhill on Thursday.
She will be able to take up bail and must comply with a number of conditions once she lodges €500 and a further €1,000 is put forward by an independent surety. Until then she has to remain in prison.
Mr Justice Robert Eagar made an order restricting the publication of evidence in support of the objection to bail to protect the integrity of the jury system. But he said the outcome and any conditions, if conditions were imposed, could be reported.
Her charges sheet states that between October 28th, 2015 and December 1st, 2019 she was a member of an unlawful terrorist group “styling itself the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) also known as Dawlat al-Iraq al-Islamiyya, Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) and Dawlat al Islamiya fi Iraq wa al-Sham, otherwise known as ‘Da’esh’ and the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham”.
Membership is an offence contrary to the Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Act 2005.
Smith joined the Irish Defence Forces after leaving school in 2000 and also served with the Air Corps on the government jet.
Special Detective Unit (SDU) Sgt Gareth Kane objected to bail citing the seriousness of the case and possible flight risk.
More details are available at the Irish Times.
