We no longer need ‘prayers and thoughts’ for the victims of victims of islamic terrorism. We need tough leaders who will take action against the Islamic expansion program.
BERLIN (AP) – The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Tuesday for a truck attack on a crowded Berlin Christmas market that German authorities said came right out of the extremist group’s playbook, inflicting mass casualties on a soft target …
Obama Regime Fired Top Scientist to Advance Climate Change Fraud
A new congressional investigation has determined that the Obama administration regime fired a top scientist and intimidated staff at the Department of Energy in order to further its climate change agenda, according to a new report that alleges the administration ordered top officials to obstruct Congress in order to forward this agenda.
As the threat of terrorism becomes a reality, fears are growing that Germany, which had welcomed refugees from the Middle East, could see its politics upended by the rise of its own right-wing, populist movement.

The man who rammed a 7-ton truck into a crowded Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring 48, has been identified by German media as a 23-year-old refugee of Pakistani origin who arrived in the country via the ‘Balkan route’.

Merkel: “we must assume it was a terrorist attack”
The German chancellor has said the deadly truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market was likely an act of terrorism. She has said those responsible for the attack will be punished “with the full strength of our law.”
Should it turn out that the attacker had been a refugee, Merkel said, this would be “particularly appalling to the many, many Germans who are actively helping refugees every day and to the many people who are indeed needing our protection and are making an effort to integrate in our country.”
From Merkel Propaganda outfit Deutsche Welle – World leaders pledge solidarity with Berlin after Christmas market tragedy
The Brussels prosecutor’s office has confirmed that a large security operation which put the Schaerbeek area of the city on lockdown Monday was an anti-terrorist operation in which one person was arrested.
Germany has been unique in its steadfast commitment to Merkel’s open door policy. Germany remains the biggest destination for migrants entering Europe. The real numbers are hard to know, but in a few short years the figure is hovering a little over 2 million, according to Germany’s Federal Statistical Office, Destatis.
The answers are below the fold.
Before this mass migration, places like Germany and Sweden were known for their relatively low crime rates. Now both countries have some of the fastest rising rape and murder rates on the continent, with new levels of anti-Semitic fervor not seen since before World War II.
Across Europe many of these migrants refuse to assimilate or adapt. They instead seclude themselves into separate neighborhoods that operate effectively as semi-autonomous fiefdoms. Here, in these so-called “no-go zones,” radicalism is bred and welfare checks flow.
So despite all of this, why do some cling to the failed dream of open immigration? Well, over the years, a variety of arguments have been put forth to support open borders.
On one side, you have the economic rationale for open immigration. Those who support this view argue that the free flow of labor is in no way different from the free flow of commodities and other goods. They view the issue as no different than the argument over free trade. In their mind, bushels of grain are the same thing as entire families, in their strictly quantitative and economic analysis. They commoditize millions of individuals into nothing more than a nondescript bundle known as “labor.”
On the other end of the spectrum, you have the emotional pleas. This line of thought argues that we must open the borders to all in order to provide migrants a better life. Such a life simply could not be achieved in their home countries and thus, must be achieved by bringing them in and supporting them generously with taxpayer-funded handouts.
GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel has cancelled a public appearance today and addressed the people of Germany but it can be revealed she was at a service honouring migrants when her own people lay dead in Berlin’s streets.
You have to watch out for these insane lorries careening around our cities. Oddly enough at least one of the occupants of the crazed lorry turns out to be a refugee from Afghanistan/Pakistan. Not that any reasonable, thinking person would be surprised by that revelation, anymore.
Christmas markets are a grand German tradition, but probably not for much longer.
Russia’s ambassador to Turkey has been shot dead at an art exhibition opening in Ankara by an off-duty police officer shouting slogans about Syria’s civil war.
Ambassador Andrei Karlov, 62, was several minutes into a speech when the gunman fired at least eight shots.
“Don’t forget Aleppo, don’t forget Syria!” the gunman shouted in Turkish.
The undercover assassin also shouted “Allahu akbar,” the Arabic phrase for “God is great” and continued in Arabic: “We are the descendants of those who supported the Prophet Muhammad, for jihad.”
And hasn’t that worked out well. (Tim Blair)
Update:
The man who rammed a 7-ton truck into a crowded Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring 48, has been identified by German media as a 23-year-old refugee of Pakistani origin who arrived in the country via the ‘Balkan route’.
The suspect has been named as Naved B., a 23-year-old Pakistani who was registered as an asylum seeker in February this year, Spiegel reported, citing police and security sources. The report also said the Pakistani man could have used a fake ID and an alias.
The jihadis who plowed into a Christmas market today in Berlin stole the truck from a Polish driver who was making a delivery to a Muslim neighborhood. The Polish truck driver told his wife he “did not feel safe” in that neighborhood. His wife has not been heard back from him since 3 pm.
Berlin police say that the Polish driver’s body was found in the cab of the truck. According to “Die Welt,”he died from gunshot wounds. Polish authorities are in contact with the German services.
Rports are that the Polish driver was in the passenger seat, already abducted and dead as the truck rammed the market.– The Geller Report
Three people have been shot by an unknown gunman at an Islamic centre in the Swiss city of Zürich and authorities say that the gunman is now on the run.
.
The Islamic centre closest to the main train station is the Al-Hidaya Verein mosque which lies just north of the Zürich Hauptbahnhof. The centre was accused of ties to extremism by German journalist Shams Ul-Haq in October of this year. Mr. Ul-Haq went undercover and infiltrated the mosque where he described the Somali Imams as preaching extremist ideas.
The undercover journalist also accused the group who run the mosque, Forum of the Orient (Forient), of hiding migrants as well as other illegal activities. Imam of the Islamic centre Mohammed Hakimi has claimed that the mosque preaches a tolerant version of Islam and has denied all the allegations made by the German-Pakistani journalist.

The gunman who shot Andrey Karlov, Russia’s ambassador to Turkey, has been identified as a Turkish police officer Mevlut Mert Altintas. He was reportedly a “member of the special ops unit in Ankara.” According to eyewitness accounts, he was heard shouting: “We die in Aleppo, you die here” and “don’t forget Aleppo, Syria.”
Altintas stood behind Karlov as he “gave a speech at an art gallery in the Turkish capital.” Then, only moments later, Altintas drew a handgun and shot the ambassador “nine times before reportedly shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’”
“Gunman who shot Russian ambassador to Turkey named by Interior Minister”, by Will Worley, UK Independent, December 19, 2016:
The gunman who shot dead the Russian ambassador to Turkey has been named as Mevlut Mert Altintas.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said he was 22 years-old and worked for the police riot squad in Ankara for the past two-and-a-half years, PA reported.
Security sources told Reuters he was not on duty at the time.
Ambassador Andrey Karlov was speaking at an art exhibition in Ankara when the gunman opened fire.
The attacker had been stood alone, wearing a dark suit, behind Mr Karlov as he spoke.
Numerous shots were heard, before the attacker launched into a diatribe on the beleagured city of Aleppo in Syria.
“We die in Aleppo, you die here” and “don’t forget Aleppo, Syria,” were heard shouted by the gunman during the attack.
The city has been subject to an intense Russian bombardment in recent weeks…..
After murder of ambassador, Putin vows to obliterate the Islamic State
Putin said:
This murder is clearly a provocation aimed at undermining the improvement and normalisation of Russian-Turkish relations as well as undermining the peace process in Syria promoted by Russia, Turkey, Iran and other countries interested in solving this conflict in Syria.
Last month, Donald Trump and Putin held talks on the phone and indicated that they would “tackle ISIS together.”
The conflict could grow much larger. The assassination, according to some pundits, “could escalate tensions and has the potential to start a war between the two countries,” in effect “sparking ‘world war 3.’”
“Putin VOWS to OBLITERATE ISIS after assassination of Russia’s ambassador to Turkey”, by Joey Millar, Express, December 19, 2016:
He said the assassination of his country’s ambassador to Turkey was “clearly a provocation” and vowed vowed to make those responsible “feel the heat”.
The popular central city market outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was teeming with tourists and locals when the massive black truck came barreling through the market — toppling tables and upending wooden stands.
Shoppers had little time to react as the rig roared through at what one witness described as 40 mph — picking off panicked pedestrians before coming to a destructive halt.
“I think everybody thought there was a terrorist attack happening,” witness Shandana Durrani, who was 20 feet away from the truck when it rammed several market stalls, told CNN.
“People dropped what they were carrying and ran for cover. It seemed like the truck just jumped the curb and took a wrong turn and barreled through the crowd.”
Durrani, an American who moved to Berlin a few months ago, said she might have been a victim if she had not slowed her pace to respond to a text message.
“I ran behind a stall to get away — but there was really no place to go because it was happening so fast,” she said.

Nine people have been killed after a lorry crashed into a Christmas market in Berlin.
We all knew it was going to happen. Are you wondering why they hit Berlin first? There is no place in Germany that panders more to the Mohammedans. Did it keep them safe? Obviously not.
A large lorry raced through a Christmas market in the German capital of Berlin killing nine people and injuring several others.
Police in Berlin say the lorry stormed plowed through the Christmas market at Breitscheidplatz in Berlin-Charlottenburg killing one man 9 people and injuring several 50 others.
The lorry is said to have gone off the road and onto the market path which is purely for pedestrians. The truck then crashed after leaving the market. Police have yet to make a statement on any motives reportsBerliner Zeitung but Sky News, quoting German media, said that “first indications from investigation suggest truck crash was an attack”.
Place your bets….I wonder who is odds on favourite for this one – Mentally ill, Norwegian, Home bred extremist or disaffected employee?
Unconfirmed:
Suspected driver of the truck that rammed the Christmas market in Berlin is arrested, co-driver died during the crash.
Headlines tomorrow: Berlin Muslims fear “backlash” over vehicle jihad. Next you will see pictures of candlelight vigils, mountains of flowers, perhaps someone will roll out a piano and sing “imagine no more countries….” some scruffy guitar player will sing “you got a friend”, you will see every other Islamo-spokesturd onTV assuring groveling leftoid talking heads that all of this has nothing-to-do-with-Islam, and before the blood dries on the sidewalk, you will hear endless Katzenjammer about “islamophobia” and how marginalized the Mustards are, and the political clown gallery will threaten the citizens to not take the law in their own hands, to not speak any hateful words, because all that is verboten and will be prosecuted with the full force of the law. Then there will be more money spend on integration programs and interfaith dialogue, and so on and so forth until the last church is replaced with a mosque.
Once again, Christmas is coming and Islamic da’awa gigolos are claiming that the real Jesus (the Jesus of the Koran) is a Muslim. The problem is that Christians know so little about Islam that they can believe the propaganda that Muslims honor Jesus. In Islamic lands Christmas is usually a time of persecution for Christians. It is tragic, but churches rarely have a shepherd for a pastor who can guard his flock from the lies of Islam.

Vandals on Saturday set fire on a Greek Orthodox church in the Lagolio village of Crete and wrote “Allah is great”, infuriating locals.
According to e-mesara.gr news website, unknown perpetrators set fire to the Church of Archangel Michael in Lagolio, burning holy icons and part of the chancel.
A passerby saw the fire and notified local residents who ran to put out the fire before it spread. The perpetrators had also written “Allah is great” in Arabic on the walls.
The desecration of the church took place between 3 to 5 p.m., according to police sources. Police forces from Heraklion and Tymbaki are investigating the incident.
TEL AVIV — The organization partnered with Facebook to help determine whether a certain story is “disputed” is financed by billionaire George Soros and a slew of other left-wing funders.
The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) drafted a code of five principles for news websites to accept, and Facebook yesterday announced it will work with “third-party fact checking organizations” that are signatories to the code of principles.
Facebook says that if the “fact checking organizations” determine that a certain story is fake, it will get flagged as disputed and, according to the Facebook announcement, “there will be a link to the corresponding article explaining why. Stories that have been disputed may also appear lower in News Feed.”
For an idea on why Egypt’s Coptic Christians and their churches are constantly under attack—most recently last Sunday, when a church was bombed, killing at least 25 Christians—one need merely listen to the words and teachings of some of the nation’s Muslim preachers.
Take Dr. Ahmed al-Naqib, for instance. He has studied at the best Islamic madrassas, including Al Azhar, authored numerous books on doctrine, received awards and decorations for his academic achievements, and regularly appears on television. In one video he appears discussing an earlier Muslim mob attack on a church in Egypt, which the media and government always denounce as fitna, an Arabic word that means temptation or discord and which Islam commands Muslims to oppose.
Three people have been shot by an unknown gunman at an Islamic centre in the Swiss city of Zürich and authorities say that the gunman is now on the run.
