And in an all too familiar twist to the story Imam behind Barcelona terror attacks used human rights to fight deportation from Spain | Quote: |  | | | The imam accused of masterminding the Barcelona terrorist attacks should have been deported at the end of his prison sentence for drug smuggling, but overturned the ruling by arguing it would breach his human rights, it has emerged.
Islamic preacher Abdelbaki Es Satty was told he must comply with an expulsion order when he left jail in April 2014, according to the Spanish daily, El Mundo.
But the 42-year-old Moroccan won an appeal against the decision after arguing his case in front of a judge... The preacher followed up his court win by seeking asylum through lawyers in an application filed on November 29 2014, according to El Mundo.
The decision meant that he was able to move freely among the 26 EU countries that form part of the Schengen area. | | | | | | The following 4 users would like to thank parnell for this useful post: | |

Wow, they wanted to blow up the Sagrada Familia: https://www.nzz.ch/international/akt...ter-ld.1312116
If they hadn't blown-up themselves the night before, that is.
That's really a terrible thought.

| | Re: Barcelona: Van rams into crowd European Cities Add Barriers to Thwart Vehicle Attacks
Wouldn't it be great if European countries simply enforced border control instead of erecting barriers around everything else?

The vast majority of terrorists, even some of the ones in Barcelona, are born in the country that they attack. It's no coincidence that Daesh recruit native people who can move around freely and have local knowledge.

Most of those responsible for recent attacks were born in the country attacked and not there as refugees

| | Re: Barcelona: Van rams into crowd | Quote: | |  | | | We can't change the past but we can learn from it... | | | | | ...and what we need to learn is, the fundamental difference between how al Qaeda and Daesh operate, is that the latter is far more inclined to use homegrown kids that have been radicalised. If you ignore that, you're taking your eye off the ball massively.
It might surprise you, but I'm largely for tighter border controls at ports and airports. I've spent enough years dealing with people who flout the rules of the Schengen visa and think it doesn't apply to them. I'm all for much tighter restrictions on what you can carry in luggage, particularly hand luggage, and what should be available for sale airside at airports. Again, I've spent enough hours behind idiots who really don't 'get' that you can't take a 200ml bottle of your favourite crappy aftershave/perfume in hand luggage, and no hissy fit is going to change that. First cross word and I'd be shredding their boarding pass.
However...you cannot say tightening borders is the solution to all our ills. It isn't! I wish that life were so simple...
Abaaoud was born in Anderlecht. He was the mastermind behind the Paris attacks, which are to date, the most lethal attack.
Some of the Barcelona attackers were born in Spain. What shocks me is how many of them were under 21. It shouldn't shock me because I saw the SS graves at Berchtesgaden, where the oldest one was 22. | Quote: |  | | | Most of the Paris attackers were French and Belgian citizens who crossed borders without difficulty, albeit registered as terrorism suspects. [23] Two other attackers were Iraqi. [22] According to the French prime minister, Manuel Valls, several of the perpetrators had exploited Europe's immigration crisis to enter the continent undetected. [25] At least some, including the alleged leader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, had visited Syria and returned radicalised. Jean-Charles Brisard, a French expert on terrorism, called this a change of paradigm, in that returning European citizens were themselves the attackers.

| | Re: Barcelona: Van rams into crowd | Quote: | |  | | | Yeah but that imam wasn't a true Muslim anyway. | | | | | Well he tried to apply for a job at the local mosque and was refused after he declined to provide a criminal history check. They then reported him to the police, so something seems to be going right.

In Holland / Rotterdam they just found a Spanish van with gascilinders by a concerthal where Allah las (rockband) would perform. They got tipped upfront and decided to cancel the concert and conduct a great search.
Their response was much higher than average, so it is to be assumed the tip came from an already trusted source.

Well, credit where it's due: if it wasn't for the islamists' failed attack in Rotterdam, I'd never have heard of the Allah-Las.
They're great! |

| | Re: Barcelona: Van rams into crowd | Quote: | |  | | | Less Islam = Less Islamic terrorism. | | | | | Hate to burst your bubble, but the opposite is actually true. More and better Islamic education = Less Islamist terrorism.
One of the most in-depth studies on Western Jihadis was conducted by MI5 and their conclusion was stark, a good Islamic education actually immunises against violent extremism. | Quote: |  | | | Far from being religious zealots, a large number of those involved in terrorism do not practise their faith regularly. Many lack religious literacy and could actually be regarded as religious novices. Very few have been brought up in strongly religious households, and there is a higher than average proportion of converts. Some are involved in drug-taking, drinking alcohol and visiting prostitutes. MI5 says there is evidence that a well-established religious identity actually protects against violent radicalisation. | | | | | | The following 2 users would like to thank Castro for this useful post: | |
