Meanwhile, the mayhem and madness continues: terrorist attack on German train
Now that the MSM and the blogosphere and social media have offered the requisite in-depth analysis about the burning issue of Melania Trump’s speech—and this blog has weighed in, too—we can return to the real world in which there was an Islamist terrorist attack on a commuter train in Germany.
Fortunately, although four people were critically injured and another person less so, no one has died except the attacker, who was shot by police. But there are some elements to this crime that makes it especially troubling:
(1) The attacker was an “Afghan man who came to Germany as a ‘so-called unaccompanied minor refugee’. He was living in a refugee housing in Ochsenfurt, Wé¼rzburg since March. About 2 weeks ago, he was moved into a foster family.”
This is exactly the situation feared by those who objected to the recent flood of immigrants from the Middle East into Europe. Exactly.
(2) Guns had nothing to do with it; this was a knife and machete attack, as seems to be becoming more and more common in Israel and around the globe. Such items are simplicity itself to obtain.
(3) And then there’s the absurdity of the refrain that we are oh-so-puzzled as to the perp’s motive. In this case: “German authorities expressed their cluelessness about the motives of this latest terror attack. Despite eyewitnesses confirming that the perpetrator repeatedly shouted the Islamist war cry ‘Allahu Akbar,’ the spokesman for the local police department told reporters that ‘the motives of the crime are completely unclear at this point.’”
Completely unclear, if you’ve just dropped in from planet Xenon.
The Western world seems more and more to be composed of both knaves and fools, and it’s hard to see any good end to this.
How is it that under Bush II, there weren’t nearly as many terrorist attacks, not only in the USA but in Europe as well?
As I read on another blog, “Allahu Akbar!” appears to be Arabic for, “My motives remain a mystery!”
Ymarsakar: “How is it that under Bush II, there weren’t nearly as many terrorist attacks, not only in the USA but in Europe as well?”
I recall something about someone asking Bush if he wasn’t concerned about all the jihadi fighters that were going to Iraq to repel the infidels. His answer was, “Bring ’em on.” Which of course was widely criticized. He knew it was better to fight them over there. It’s the difference between being on offense, as Bush was or being on defense as Obama is.

I disagree. In many ways, he's on offense – on their side.
There are two major themes that run though the timeline of his life, from birth to this day, Marxism and Islam, and his policies reflect that.
I’ve also heard a military esque rumor that the Turkish base which allows the US led strike in Syria, has some nuclear weapons that the US now may not be able to get out. And that the Hussein admin evacuated the base, some time ago, of all family members.
Any confirmation or denial of this rumor?
His answer was, “Bring ’em on.”
His answer was the right one, for a patriot. But the nation wasn’t even 75% patriots, so they doubted the leadership’s moral authority to make that claim. And in turn, they gave that Moral Authority of the world’s superpower to Hussein Obola.
For that reason, many of us called them “unAmerica” back then, but that wasn’t actually the reason for calling them that back then. It is, now, though.
Frank Marshal Davis and the unholy Reverend Jerimiah Wright explain everything one needs to known about bho. And, geokstr is correct, team bho seeks to destroy the West.
BLM’s twitter leadership is Nation of Islam and Black Panthers. Two names which you normally didn’t hear, except from people like me, over these recent BLM riots.
Until the recent BLIvesM assassination of police, and it turns out he is Nation of Islam… now where did that come from?
The masses deserve to be destroyed. Yet they still believe elections Will Save them. Will it save their souls from their own evil and their own Love of Lucifer? I doubt it.

Talk about madness — I just read about a possible migration deal the EU worked out with Turkey that would have allowed visa-free EU travel for 79 million Turks. It’s apparently on hold because Turkey has failed to met conditions on border security and human rights issues.
Agree with all but for me, one image summarizes Obama’s motivations; Google the album cover to; “To Pimp a Butterfly”
Yes, he’s a narcissistic Marxist Islamist but most of all, it’s tribal.
Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but perhaps the Islamists will learn the meaning of the old joke about Europe — the one that ends describing Hell as where “the Germans are the policemen.”
RS,
I know the joke and its a good one. With the triumph of the EU they came to believe they could dominate the continent economically. How welcoming an Islamic invasion fits into their agenda baffles me.
parker,
The EU’s elite are devotees of Transnationalism, which posits that nationalism is the source of all wars.
“The European left sees the problem of immigration not as a source of danger but as an opportunity,” Orban said. “They believe … that the escalation of immigration can extremely weaken or even eliminate the national structures.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban

I was looking for a copy on the internet to refresh my memory, and came across this elaboration, which has an added relevance after Brexit (although there are no police in it, German or otherwise).
European paradise:
You are invited to an official lunch. You are welcomed by an Englishman. Food is prepared by a Frenchman and an Italian puts you in the mood and everything is organised by a German.
European hell:
You are invited to an official lunch. You are welcomed by a Frenchman. Food is prepared by an Englishman, German puts you in the mood but, don’t worry, everything is organised by an Italian.
That joke was proposed by a Belgian as the Official European Joke, the joke that every single European pupil should learn at school. The Joke will improve the relationship between the nations as well as promote our self humour and our culture.
The European Council met in order to make a decision. Should the joke be the Official European Joke or not?
The British representative announced, with a very serious face and without moving his jaw, that the joke was absolutely hilarious.
The French one protested because France was depicted in a bad way in the joke. He explained that a joke cannot be funny if it is against France.
Poland also protested because they were not depicted in the joke.
Luxembourg asked who would hold the copyright on the joke. The Swedish representative didn’t say a word, but looked at everyone with a twisted smile.
Denmark asked where the explicit sexual reference was. If it is a joke, there should be one, shouldn’t there?
Holland didn’t get the joke, while Portugal didn’t understand what a « joke » was. Was it a new concept?
Spain explained that the joke is funny only if you know that the lunch was at 13h, which is normally breakfast time. Greece complained that they were not aware of that lunch, that they missed an occasion to have some free food, that they were always forgotten. Romania then asked what a « lunch » was.
Lithuania et Latvia complained that their translations were inverted, which is unacceptable even if it happens all the time. Slovenia told them that its own translation was completely forgotten and that they do not make a fuss. Slovakia announced that, unless the joke was about a little duck and a plumber, there was a mistake in their translation. The British representative said that the duck and plumber story seemed very funny too.
Hungary had not finished reading the 120 pages of its own translation yet.
Then, the Belgian representative asked if the Belgian who proposed the joke was a Dutch speaking or a French speaking Belgian. Because, in one case, he would of course support a compatriot but, in the other case, he would have to refuse it, regardless of the quality of the joke.
To close the meeting, the German representative announced that it was nice to have the debate here in Brussels but that, now, they all had to make the train to Strasbourg in order to take a decision. He asked that someone to wake up the Italian, so as not to miss the train, so they can come back to Brussels and announce the decision to the press before the end of the day.
« What decision? » asked the Irish representative.
And they all agreed it was time for some coffee.

Thanks. It’s always nice to have more than 1-3 independent triangulated sources, which is the glory of the online age.
