Expert: Islam Taking Over, Europe Soon To Be Unrecognizable As Muslim Demographics Lead To ‘Abysmal’ Change

05/28/2013 1 comment

By Roi Mandel, ynet – “The murder of a soldier in London, the stabbing of a soldier in Paris and the violent outbreak in Sweden – Europe’s alarm clock has been ringing once again over the past week. The negative birthrate compared to the increase in Muslims, the heavy unemployment and the social-religious isolation of European immigrants are all back on the agenda.

‘Europe has lost its will to live as Europe,’ said Mideast expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar to Ynet. ‘It is gathered into museums, into history. If the leaders will not put an end to immigration, we will soon be hearing the death throes of the continent as we know it.’

Even if it is somewhat demagogic to attempt to bind the three events from the past few days in different European sites under ‘Islamic extremism,’ and even if the rage sparks in the weaker classes of immigrants, it is hard to ignore the basic facts. Behind these events are African immigrants from Islamic countries.

Dr. Zvika Libman studies the effects of the Muslim minority in Europe in light of the radical Islam on European countries. When he sees the reality, he said, there is no alternative interpretation for the events. ‘There is no doubt that the unemployment and the economic hardships lead to rioting, as happened in France. And yes, there is a disadvantage compared to the European bourgeois, but this is not solely bitterness due to the economic situation – because there is unemployment among youngsters who are not Muslim, like in Spain for example.

The Muslims have a fertile ground of mosques that awaken them, preach to them that they are deprived, that they don’t belong, that they’re not wanted and that the only solution is a country with an Arab majority. This is the starting point for these riots.’

According to Dr. Libman, Sweden is an example of the situation in Europe.” Read more.

UK: Fearing Another Beheading, Riot Squad Frees Prison Guard After Crazed Muslim Prisoners Attack, Take Guard Hostage

05/27/2013 6 comments

For peaceful purposes. They were offended at the thought of ever praying for the soul of any infidel, let alone one who was the victim of a “justified” beheading …

Mirror – “Prison staff feared their colleague, locked in a room and being attacked by crazed extremists, was facing the same gruesome death as murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

Leading the thugs was al-Qaeda fanatic Parviz Khan, serving life for plotting to behead a Muslim member of the Army – and thought to be the inspiration for last week’s horrific slaughter.

The terrified officer, in his 30s, was finally freed by a specialist riot squad who stormed the room where he was held for five hours and beaten mercilessly by the extremists, who told him he would die.

And the vicious assault was sparked by a simple call from a prison imam to pray for drummer Lee who was ­butchered in the street last week near his barracks in ­Woolwich, South East London.

Khan flew into a rage at the request, insisting the 25-year-old’s murder was justified.

Recruiting two fellow Muslims, an African-born fanatic and a British convert, they kidnapped the guard on Sunday and bundled him into a cleaning room at Full Sutton jail near York.

Once inside, he was battered senseless with mop handles. The yobs threatened to pour caustic toilet cleaner into his eyes.

A prison source said last night: ‘The fear was that the gang had somehow got hold of knives from the prison kitchen and they would attempt to behead him.

‘It was organised and inspired by the terrible death of Lee Rigby. Khan wanted to start a riot and after taking a hostage he was shouting for ‘true Muslims’ to join a holy war.

‘He was the ringleader and the main person behind the savage beating of the prison officer, who feared for his life.

‘By the time the attack finished the officer was covered in bruises and blood.

‘He feels very lucky to be alive. He was told they would kill him.'” Read more.

UK: Two Muslims Arrested After Threatening To Blow Up Boeing 777 And Kill All 308 Passengers And Crew

05/27/2013 2 comments

For peaceful purposes, of course. In recent UK memory, we’ve witnessed two Muslim men behead a non-Muslim man in broad daylight in Woolwich. We’ve had an Islamist terror group planning another 9/11 on British soil unable to stop laughing in court. We’ve read about seven Muslims from West Yorkshire and the West Midlands arrested for terror related offenses after weapons were found in their car.  A mosque in London was investigated for links to terrorism. Six Muslims were arrested in London while planning attacks for the cause of Allah. And two more Muslims were arrested again in London for the same reasons. Four Muslims admitted to plotting a major pre-Christmas terror attack on the London Stock Exchange. A British Muslim charity was caught funding Al-Qaida affiliated terrorists. Two converts to Islam were caught with material teaching Muslims how to blow up and “mow down the enemies of Allah.” Police arrest and charge four Muslim men in Birmingham for planning terror operations, while British intelligence admitted that at least 200 Muslim terrorists were actively planning suicide attacks in the UK. In the meantime, a rape epidemic perpetrated by Muslim men continues to shakes the country, not to mention Europe. And all of this is just a drop in the proverbial bucket. But there’s no need to fret, fellow citizens of freedom. In the wise words of Prime Minister Cameron, “there is nothing in Islam that justifies” any of these truly dreadful acts of Islamic terror …

Hadith – Al Bukhari, 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror” – The ‘Prophet’ Of Islam, Mohammed

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

The Telegraph – “Taxi driver and supermarket employee Tayyab Subhani, 30, and restaurant worker Mohammed Safdar, 41, appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court charged with endangering an aircraft.

The count alleges the defendants made false threats that the ‘crew and passengers would be killed and the aircraft blown up before landing which was false, misleading or deceptive’.

The defendants, who were both born in Burnley, Lancashire, spoke only to confirm their names and addresses but their lawyers said they would deny the charge.

The duo were arrested on Friday at Stansted Airport after Pakistan International Airways flight PK709 from Lahore was diverted from Manchester.

They were travelling home after attending Safdar’s mother’s funeral, the court heard.

The Boeing 777 plane, carrying 308 passengers, was shadowed into Stansted by an RAF Typhoon fighter jet after the pilot reported threats being made and landed at the Essex air hub at 2.20pm.

The magistrate Sarah-Jane Davies refused the defendants bail.” Read more.

France: Police Search For ‘Bearded Man’ Of Possible North African Origin Seen Praying Moments Before Attacking French Soldier

05/27/2013 Leave a comment

But worry not, I’m sure that violent acts of Islamic jihad have, yet again, absolutely nothing to do with Islam …

By Henry Samuel, The Telegraph – “The video appears to suggest that the Paris attack could be inspired by the Islamist murder of a British serviceman in London.

Anti-terrorism investigators now say they have ‘high quality images’ of a ‘tall, athletic bearded man’ aged about 30, possibly of North African origin, praying near the spot where he attacked the 23-year-old soldier from behind with a knife or a box-cutter on Saturday. He then fled into a crowded train station and is still at large.

‘He was filmed praying near where the attack took place. After the attack he can be seen leaving the shopping centre of La Défense (business district),’ a source close the investigation told Le Parisien.

The soldier, Cédric Cordiez, survived the midafternoon attack and was discharged from hospital this morning but is said to be ‘traumatised’ by the stabbing. It was carried out three days after a British soldier was murdered on a busy London street by two men shouting Islamist slogans.

Manuel Valls, the French interior minister, said there are ‘elements that lead us to believe it (the French attack) could be an act of terrorism’ and that police are now pursuing ‘serious leads’.

‘The photos have been shown to the other two soldiers who were on patrol with the victim and the four witnesses present at the scene of the attack,’ said a source close to the French investigation.

‘They all recognised the author of the attack, who wasn’t wearing a djellaba, contrary what some people have said.'” Read more.

Flashback: France: Many Refuse To Believe That Islam Is Responsible For Islamic Terrorism (Yet Where Islam Spreads Violence Follows) – “In the wake of the latest spate of Islamic rage operations, Yves Calvi, one of our most decent journalists, made an honest effort to squarely face the question. Though he tried as usual to include a broad range of guests, the September 24th broadcast of his political discussion program ‘Mots Croisés’ was a mismatch, with philosopher Alain Finkielkraut fending off a barrage of accusations from all sides. Accusations, of course, against us, not against Islam. The very possibility that Islam might be a problem was evacuated early on. The majority of Muslims in France are law-abiding well-integrated members of society… Consequently, the problem is not Islam and Islam is not a problem. The problem is the failure of French society to integrate immigrants and make them feel at home.” Read more.

‘A Tragedy Beyond Description’: Syrian Christians ‘Exhausted’ From Islamic Persecution, Desperate Plight ‘Getting Bigger Day By Day’

05/27/2013 2 comments

Daniel 7:25a, “And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws …”

Christian Today – “A Syrian Christian leader has spoken of the desperate plight of the church in the war-torn country.

Dr Mary Mikhael, of the National Evangelical Synod of Syria, said churches were being targeted in the conflict and that many Christians were being displaced.

As refugees, they lack adequate shelter, medicine, food supplies and ‘their human dignity’, she said.

Dr Mikhael was addressing commissioners at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland meeting in Edinburgh this week.

She said there was no Arab Spring for the people of Syria but ‘only a stormy dark winter’.

In particular, she expressed concern that there would soon be no Christian presence in the country. ‘The tragedy is getting bigger day by day … Now the big question is about our future.’

Syrian churches are stepping in to help meet the needs of displaced people but she warned that they are ‘exhausted’.

‘Pray with us, be in solidarity with our church, help us bring hope to Syria,’ she said.

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Right Reverend Lorna Hood paused proceedings to give commissioners a moment to pray about the situation.

She prayed: ‘Help us to stand beside them, to offer not only our prayers but all we can do as a Church to support them, to be with them and somehow through the power of your Spirit, the power of your love and your peace, bring once again peace and an end of strife and hardship to that land through Christ our Lord, Amen.’

Former Moderator, the Very Reverend Professor Iain Torrance said the situation in Syria was a ‘tragedy that is beyond description’.” Read more.

‘Real Islam’: Syrian Rebels Seek Implementation Of Worldwide Islamic ‘Ummah’ Where Freedom Is Restricted By Allah’s Law

05/27/2013 1 comment

And any and all Muslims “who want democracy are kuffar” …

Daniel 7:25a, “And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws …”

The Economist – “The interviewee is a young fighter from Jabhat al-Nusra, an extremist Sunni group in Syria affiliated with al-Qaeda in Iraq. A former teacher and then tiler, he is dressed in well-ironed black trousers, a white shirt and a black turban. A gun rests on his lap. He is accompanied by an older man, who appears to be judging him on his answers. Both are Syrian and ask not to be named because they do not have permission to speak to the press.

How has Jabhat al-Nusra become so powerful?

The reason is the weakening of the other groups. Jabhat al-Nusra gets the advantage because of our ideology. We are not just rebels; we are doing something we believe in. We are not just fighting against tyranny; Bashar Assad is only part of our fight. The other groups are only a reaction to the regime, whereas we are fighting for a vision.

What is that vision?

We are fighting to apply what Allah said to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. We are fighting so people don’t look to other people but only to Allah. We don’t believe in complete freedom: it is restricted by Allah’s laws. Allah created us and he knows what is best for us.

What future do you see for Syria—or do you even see a Syria in the future?

We want the future that Islam commands. Not a country with borders but an umma [worldwide Islamic community of believers] of all the Muslim people. All Muslims should be united. […]

Did you lose or gain fighters following the announcement that you are linked to al-Qaeda in Iraq?

We’re with anything that represents real Islam, whether al-Qaeda or otherwise. If there is a better group, we’ll go with them instead. The effect of the announcement is that now we know our friends and our enemies. The good people will come to our side and the bad people will leave.

Many, maybe most, Syrians do not share your views. Do you care?

It would be great if the Syrians were with us but the kuffar are not important. Abraham and Sarah were facing all the infidels, for example, but they were doing the right thing. The number with us doesn’t matter.

Which other rebel groups do you see as acceptable? Ahrar al-Sham, another Salafist group, criticised your links to al-Qaeda.

I think only 5% of the battalions are against the Islamic vision. Ahrar al-Sham are a mixture of Islamists and people who like Allah so we are not sure about their vision. We are very clear as the Prophet, peace be upon him, made it very clear to us. Other groups have good beliefs but we are the only committed ones. […]

Do you plan to carry out operations against the West in the future?

There is no permanent friendship and no permanent enemy. We’ll do whatever is in the interest of Muslims. The first duty on us is to fight the kuffar among us here in the occupied Muslim lands. The next duty will be decided later.” Read more.

Iran Reports ‘Prophetic’ Death Of Saudi King Abdullah, Begins Massive Deployment Of Long Range Missiles To ‘Crush The Enemy’

05/27/2013 2 comments

And the number one enemy of Iran is Israel. Although the death of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has been rumored before, this time, however, the report is coming directly from Iran’s state-owned Press TV which broadcasts news reports and analyses that are close to the official position of the Islamic republic’s theocratic government. As previously noted, of significance to such a report is the fact that according to a recent Iranian-produced Islamic end-times documentary, the Ayatollahs believe that the death of King Abdullah will be a major sign indicating that the destruction of Israel and arrival of the Islamic “messiah” — the Mahdi — are imminent. Incidentally, reports are coming in that Iran has now also begun a “massive” deployment of long-range missile launchers to “crush the enemy” …

Update 1/22/2015: King Abdullah is dead …

Press TV – “Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz is reported to be clinically dead as the monarch is not recently seen in the public.

A Saudi journalist working for London-Based Asharq Alawsat says the Saudi monarch has been clinically dead since Wednesday.

He also quoted medical sources in Saudi Arabia as saying that the king’s vital organs, including his heart, kidneys and lungs, have stopped functioning.

Doctors are said to have used a defibrillator on him several times. He is also reported to be alive with the help of a ventilator.

The Royal Court has yet to comment on the report of King’s death.

The aging Saudi monarch has not recently appeared in the public and the country’s crown prince is attending official meetings on his behalf.

It is the second time in the past months that Asharq Alawsat reports the death of King Abdullah.” Read more.

Flashback: Iran: Death Of King Abdullah Means Islamic Messiah Is Near, A Final Grand War Against Islam’s Enemies Will Culminate With Israel’s Destruction – “The Iranian government has produced a bone-chilling documentary that claims that Ayatollah Khamenei, President Ahmadinejad, and Hassan Nasrallah are talked about in Islamic prophecy as leaders who will wage war to bring about the arrival of the Hidden Imam, which the film says is ‘very close’ to happening… The purpose of the film is to make the case that Iran is prophetically destined to lead the war against Islam’s enemies, which is as a prelude to the appearance of the Hidden Imam, also called the Mahdi, who brings the final victory for Islam and reigns over the whole world… the death of Saudi King Abdullah will be a major sign that the destruction of Israel and arrival of the Mahdi are imminent.” Read more.

Iran Begins ‘Massive’ Deployment Of Long-Range Missile Launchers To ‘Crush The Enemy’ – “As the Islamic Republic of Iran prepares for presidential elections next month it is fielding a “massive” number of new long-range missile launchers, Iranian media reported on Sunday. Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi was quoted as saying the new weapon systems give Iranian forces the ability to “crush the enemy” with the simultaneous launching of long-range surface-to-surface missiles, according to Fars, the semi-official Iranian news agency… Iran’s military does possess surface-to-surface missiles that are capable of traveling over 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), able to reach of targets inside Israel and US bases in the region.” Read more.

Memorial Day 2013: Islamic Jihad Is Stronger Than Ever And ‘We Are Everywhere In Denial’

05/27/2013 3 comments

Revelation 18:3a, “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her …” (NASB)

By Robert Spencer, Frontpage Mag – “The war on terror is long over. U.S. Army attorney Lt. Gen. Dana Chipman declared last week that the Fort Hood jihad massacre was a ‘criminal act of a single individual,’ not an act of international terrorism. Barack Obama declared the war on terror over yet again last Thursday, saying, ‘Beyond Afghanistan, we must define our effort not as a boundless ‘global war on terror’ – but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America.’

Obama announced the beginning of a glorious time of peace: ‘Today, Osama bin Laden is dead, and so are most of his top lieutenants. There have been no large-scale attacks on the United States, and our homeland is more secure. Fewer of our troops are in harm’s way, and over the next 19 months they will continue to come home. Our alliances are strong, and so is our standing in the world. In sum, we are safer because of our efforts.’ To be sure, he described small networks of ill-defined terrorists who wish to do us harm, but expressed every confidence that those networks would soon be dismantled, and aren’t that much of a problem in the first place.

And so the era of peace is dawning. The Taliban, as the Vice President has said, are not the enemy of the United States. Military and intelligence training materials have been scrubbed of any hint that there is any Islamic jihad against the U.S. As far as the U.S. Government is concerned, there isn’t. The Obama Administration has applauded and in some cases actively aided the ‘Arab Spring’ that has brought Sharia rule to Egypt, Libya and elsewhere, and is stepping up aid to the ‘Arab Spring’ jihadists in Syria. Meanwhile, it is abetting through the courts efforts to procure special privileges and accommodations for Muslims in American businesses and educational institutions.

We are at peace, except for our hearts-and-minds operation appealing to what General John Allen termed the ‘Noble People of Afghanistan,’ which will soon be over. All is well. And so in these millennial days of peace, we look back in gratitude upon those who sacrificed all to preserve our nation and our freedom, and marvel at the wondrous times in which we live, when sacrifice is no longer necessary.

So much for fantasy.

In reality, it’s Memorial Day, and the jihad is stronger than ever, more confident than ever, and we are everywhere in denial, with our government and law enforcement officials, as well as the mainstream media, more clueless or complicit than ever.” Read more.

Homicide Rates In Egypt Tripled Since Muslim Brotherhood Takeover

05/26/2013 1 comment

When a religion that glorifies death takes root, death and everything associated with it will naturally follow …

By Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Mag – “Robert Johnson at Business Insider takes us on a brief tour of the and improved Egypt. The democratically Islamist Egypt that went from a somewhat functioning country to a completely failed state whose leaders do nothing but spew bigotry and encourage their followers to engage in violence.

Homicide rates have tripled since 2011. The number of armed robberies rose from 233 in 2010 to 2,807 in 2012.

That’s more than a tenfold increase. It’s an impressive achievement. I’m not sure we could pull that off even if we combined Detroit, New Orleans and Oakland into one giant city.

Many ‘beat cops’ still carry outdated weapons like this 1958 Hungarian pistol, lack adequate ammunition, and refuse to carry issued sidearms on patrol for fear of being robbed. The Muslim Brotherhood’s handpicked officers get new weapons, radios, and nearly twice the pay.

The Brotherhood has proposed laws reducing Egypt’s legal age of marriage to 13-years-old. Some party officials indicate marriage at nine years of age is perfectly acceptable. Temporary marriages between young women and foreigners lasting often just days have become increasingly common. Desperate parents sell daughters for as little as $450.

There are up to 50,000 homeless youths still roaming Cairo. Forced to steal and beg to survive, they significantly add to the crime problem. The World Health Organization estimates there are 1 million homeless Egyptian children.

Cairo faces frequent gasoline shortages and long lines at filling stations when gas is available. Public services like road maintenance are often non-existent.

It will take massive outrage against the Muslim Brotherhood by the Egyptian people to reverse the damage. Public beatings and stabbings like this are unfortunately not enough to incite action for change. Egyptians are just too busy trying to survive.

The Arab Spring sure worked out well. We should repeat it in Syria and let the Muslim Brotherhood take over as many other countries as we can. Including the United States.” Source – Frontpage Mag.

California: Muslim Man Attempts Kidnapping Of 17-Year-Old Girl To Force Her Into Marriage

05/26/2013 6 comments

Kidnap a girl. Convert her to Islam. Rape her. Force her to marry you. If it was perfectly ok in the 7th century according to Islam’s own prophet, then it must be ok in the 21st, right? As Islam gains in power and influence, more and more Muslim men are beginning to view non-Muslim women, even in Western nations, as conquered and therefore “spoils of war” in accordance to the god of Islam …

Sura 33:50a, “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war…”

Al Rod Al Anf, Volume 2, Page 182: “You see [Allah] will soon make you inherit their land, their treasures and make you sleep with their women.” (The Words of Mohammed as Recorded by Ibn Hisham)

CBS Los Angeles – “SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — A 29-year-old Orange County man is accused of trying to abduct a teenage girl out of an Aliso Viejo bookstore, authorities said Monday.

KNX 1070′s Mike Landa reports Saif Mohamed Moussa was arrested after the incident in a Barnes & Noble store at 26751 Aliso Creek Road around 2 p.m. Saturday.

A 17-year-old girl was shopping in the bookstore when Moussa wrapped her up in a bear hug and started walking her to the front door, according to Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino.

‘He said he intended to marry her,’ Amormino said.

Before Moussa was able to exit the store with the victim, the girl broke free and located her father – an off-duty Orange County Sheriff’s deputy – at another location inside the store, said Amormino.” Read more.

France: Muslim Man Stabs French Soldier In The Neck Near Paris

05/26/2013 3 comments

For peaceful purposes. And with Islam now on track to soon become the dominant religion in France, Muslim-based violence will continue to increase …

Qur’an Sura 47:4a, “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers [non-Muslims] in battle, smite at their necks …”

By Nicolas Bertin, Reuters – “A French soldier patrolling a business neighborhood west of Paris was stabbed in the neck and injured on Saturday by a man who fled the scene and is being sought by police, President Francois Hollande said.

The 23-year-old was patrolling in uniform with two other soldiers as part of France’s Vigipirate anti-terror surveillance plan when he was approached from behind around 6 p.m. and attacked with a knife or a box-cutter.

A police union spokesman said surveillance footage of the attacker showed him as tall and bearded, aged about 35, possibly of North African origin and wearing a white Arab-style tunic.

Hollande, in the Ethiopian city of Addis Ababa, commented on the stabbing to say police were hunting for the attacker but did not provide any details about his identity or any possible motivation for the attack.

‘We still don’t know the exact circumstances of the attack or the identity of the attacker, but we are exploring all options,’ Hollande told journalists.

Three days after a British soldier was killed in a London street by two men who said they acted to avenge violence against Muslims, the attack near Paris raised questions about a possible copycat attempt to kill a French soldier.” Read more.

The Wall Street Journal: Britain Has Been In Denial About The Islamist Threat, And It’s Time To Face It Down

05/24/2013 5 comments

Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

For Peaceful Purposes

For Peaceful Purposes

By DOUGLAS MURRAY, The Wall Street Journal – “How many ignored warnings does it take? That is one question that should hang over Britain after the horror of the daytime murder of a British soldier on the streets of south London. On Wednesday afternoon, Drummer Lee Rigby was killed in Woolwich by two men wielding large knives and shouting ‘Allahu akbar’—God is great.

Islamists have been saying for years they would do this. They have planned to do it. And now they have done it.

The attack itself is not surprising. What is surprising is that British society remains so utterly unwilling not just to deal with this threat, but even to admit its existence. Politicians have called the Woolwich killing ‘unforgivable’ and ‘barbarous.’ But expressions of anger should not really be enough.

Attempts to attack military targets in Britain go back to before the millennium and even before, it is important to note, the war on terror. In 1998 Amer Mirza, a member of the now-banned extremist group al Muhajiroun, attempted to petrol-bomb British army barracks. In 2007, a cell of Muslim men was found guilty of plotting to kidnap and behead a British soldier in Birmingham. The plan had been to take the soldier to a lock-up garage and cut off his head ‘like a pig.’ They wanted to film this act on camera and send it around the world to cause maximum terror.

In 2009, al Muhajiroun protested at a homecoming parade in Luton for British troops returning from Afghanistan. Carrying banners saying ‘go to hell,’ ‘butchers’ and ‘terrorists,’ the group was protected by British police officers from an increasingly irate crowd of locals. The resulting outrage toward the police gave rise to the deeply troubling English Defence League, a street protest movement that often turns violent.

Now comes the attack in Woolwich, which the perpetrators—as with the earlier cell—wished to be observed and even filmed. Reports suggest that they invited people to capture their actions on video. The perpetrators gave interviews, machetes in hand, to bystanders with cameras. This horrific scene is something that will stick in the memory.

But it should also have been foreseen.” Read more.
