Radical Islam Spreading in Spain

Two Islamists have been arrested in Spain on charges of torturing and murdering two fellow Muslims for "abandoning radical Islam."

The arrests came just days after Spanish newspapers reported that jihadists in Spain are travelling to Syria to help overthrow the government there.

Spanish authorities say the incidents — on top of many others in recent months — point to the accelerating spread in the country of radical Salafi Islam, which Spain's National Intelligence Center, the CNI, in a leaked secret report — corroborated by the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies, an organization tied to the Spanish Ministry of Defense, in its own recently published a 43-page report entitled, "Islamist Movements in Spain" — states is increasingly posing the greatest threat to national security.

Rachid Mohamed Abdellah and Nabil Mohamed Chaib, both of whom are Spanish citizens of Moroccan origin, were jailed after being questioned by Judge Eloy Velasco at the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) in Madrid on June 28.

Police say the two men, aged 25 and 30 respectively, are members of an Islamist cell based in the city of Melilla, a Spanish exclave on the northern coast of Morocco. They are accused of torturing and murdering two other members of the cell who "adopted Western behavior and tried to disengage from radical Islam." Spanish authorities say the murders were meted out according to Islamic Sharia law, which calls for the killing of "infidels."

    It would be best if all free countries recognize the dangers of Muslims within their borders and crack down on activities such as told about in the article. Freedom ends where it impinges on the freedom of others.

    What about it growing in the USA?

      Yes, I have seen that video before, and unfortunately, it indicates the path that the Islamic States of America, er, I mean, the United States of America, is on. At least it will be as long as we keep weak-kneed liberals, with a dislike for the greatness of America, in charge. When Christianity gets cast out, this is the kind of thing we can expect to see happen more and more, spreading to other parts of the nation like a cancer.

      • msjallen

        Right, keyboardshark and apparently, as Christians we have failed to reach the masses for our Lord because so many no longer know God's Word and are willing to accept any "religion" that comes along.

    So how do we who wish to fight Radical Islam in America crack down on these misfits without being called, Racist, Discriminatory, anti-Islamist? The issue is that Islam uses our very own laws against us. It is a well thought out strategy and needs to be fought against, not as a religion, but as a political ideology that has intent of governmental overthrow. Islam = Terrorist. If there are differing sects of Islam that are peaceful, then let them stand up and disavow the actions, and identify those radicalized sectors. The Liberals in America are part and parcel of the problem as they are too squeamish to call Islam what it is and be part of the solution. Oh, but for the good old days when you could call a spade a spade without fear of the PC police putting a target on your forehead.

    Many people will refuse to accept this but THIS really is the root of the matter: The problem is our failure to understand the fact that every culture (i.e. law, social customs, public policy, art, approach to education, etc. ) is directed by that people's ACTUAL religious convictions over time. "Nature abhors a vacuum, as they say, and "The Naked Public Square" will not remain naked. If our nation is not informed by the nativity scene and what it represents, we will be be informed by the cresent and scimitar and what they represent.

    Europe is falling to Muhamed because they have, on balance, failed to yield to Jesus. Nominal Christians are no match for fervant Muslims. It will be the same for us unless we, as a people, give Jesus Christ and the Word of God their rightful place in our national life.

  • peter1589

    Yup, leave the protection of God in the pursuit of PROTEST-antism, diluting yourselves into agnostics and atheists as a logical progression into chaos, abandon the narrow path of the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church which has been the sole obstacle to Islam spreading it's murderous world domination goals throughout history, and what do we find? My, my, my, imagine! Islamic terrorism spreading into western civilization.

    People ask me who were the worse colonists against Native America. Spain and Portugal. Because Spain was a moslem colony for over 700 years. the Spanish are now getting what they gave us. Prophecy is, most of Europe will be a slag heap because they're so weak against the new colonizers, and were always so bitterly anti-Jewish. The best? Have to say it, but the Germans. they intermarried and did not try to force their wives into their image, but allowed women to continue the vote and equality in all things. Next, England. Her developing form of democracy meshed nicely with our 100% democracy (there were no royal classes among us, but republics, yep, even the 'emperors' which Europe designated, elected war leaders, not royalty :) niio.

    The Christian message – though it is the only way of salvation – is not popular for many reasons, one of which is the limp-wristed way that many Christians witness. However if the message of Islam, or rather the faith that Islam purports, is the only one, and it is convincingly the only correct one and the adherents to it really believe it, why would any of them want to leave it and go somewhere else for salvation?
    Along the same direction, if as many muslims, say their Allah is just another name for the God of the bible, why do they try to "persuade" – if that's the right word considering the violent way they do it – Christians to convert to Islam?

    Actually, another good title might have been: "Back To 1491." Hopefully I don't have to explain it to Jeff and Deadwood–the resident scientists.

        They are living well of the taxes of Spanish people who struggle just like the insects from Windsor castle in England who are Germans from Haus Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha.

    Salfism is s saudi arabia' wahabi religion, that obama,bush, CIA has been srcretly fighting for on behalf of the british monarchy and the international banking cartel in london. Syria is ruled by the hasemite sunnis muslims, of whom oppose saudi rule of the muslim world for bush and obama's CIA and their masters in london. Knowing the various muslims tribes and clans relation to what they believe is rightful sucession to the original prophet muhammed leads to why they kill each other.
