‘I’m pleased with what I’ve done’: Stockholm jihadi killer says he ‘achieved what he set out to do’ and that terror attack was retaliation for Western military action against ISIS

  • Rakhmat Akilov admitted to driving a truck into a Stockholm shopping centre
  • The incident killed four people and injured 15 others on Friday afternoon
  • Akilov told police that he was part of ISIS and said that the order to launch Friday’s atrocity came directly from the group’s high command in Syria
  • He said the tragedy was in retaliation for Western military action against ISIS

By Jake Wallis Simons, Associate Global Editor In Stockholm For Mailonline, 9 April 2017:

The shameless Stockholm jihadi killer accused of killing four people and injuring 15 others by driving a truck into the city’s largest shopping centre has boasted to police interrogators that he is ‘pleased with what he has done’.

When questioned by officers, 39-year-old Uzbek fanatic Rakhmat Akilov freely admitted his crime, smirking that he had ‘achieved what he set out to do’, a source inside the police told the Expressen newspaper.

He also admitted to being part of ISIS and said that the order to launch Friday’s atrocity came directly from the group’s high command in Syria.

Akilov was detained at around 9pm local time (1900 GMT) on Friday in a northern Stockholm suburb hours after police say he hijacked a truck and ploughed through a pedestrian shopping street in central Stockholm.

Under interrogation at Kronoberg prison, the 39-year-old fanatic told police that he ‘drove towards the infidels’ in retaliation for Western military action against ISIS, demanding that ‘the bombings in Syria must stop’.

The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the killer was so keen to tell officers that he was linked to ISIS that he made the claim even as he was being wrestled to the ground in Märsta on Friday evening.

‘I bombarded Sweden because you bomb my country,’ he reportedly said.

Police have confirmed that Akilov had an explosive device beside him in the cab of the hijacked lorry as he mowed down pedestrians on Drottninggatan high street in central Stockholm last week.

Police have confirmed that Akilov had an explosive device beside him in the cab of the hijacked lorry as he mowed down pedestrians on Drottninggatan high street in central Stockholm last week.

The home-made device, which did not explode, was comprised of gas bottles, chemicals, nails and bolts designed to inflict maximum casualties, Aftonbladet reported.

The British man killed in the Stockholm terror attack on Friday has been named as Chrispin Bevington, a father of two young boys.

The 41-year-old had been living and working in Stockholm as an executive for music streaming site Spotify.

The others dead are a female Belgian tourist, 31, and two Swedes including an 11-year-old girl who was walking home from school. Police said all have been identified and their relatives informed.

Sweden has become such a routine consequence of “refugee-ism” that commenting is practically “cut and paste”, and “official reaction” is the usual sidewalk vigils and “don’t react in any way, it’ll just be hate speech that will provoke another atrocity that is really the fault of the victims”.

Tragic reminders of how social engineering has devalued lives to a parody of main stream media and the whims of the Globalist agenda…

“proof that their pacifism didn’t protect them.”
FOREIGN POLICY is a TAQIYA excuse given by moderate muslims to justify the actions of radicals.

We protect 1 Jewish State Israel (as we should), but we protect 4 Muslim states.(Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and more.)
The score is 1 and 4, and that’s a conservative estimate.

To say that Muslims don’t benefit from American FOREIGN Policy is one of the biggest lies liberals and many moderate muslims teach.

ISIS will be eliminated sooner or later but Islam will keep spreading and turn the whole world towards Mecca.

So… Sweden has now officially arrived at the terminus of Liberalism:

It is a Modern-Terror-State … on the template of Orwell’s 1984.

The Swedes are now in low level civil war… and this will only intensify…even as they keep bleating about Diversity being their strength.

Diversity Macht Frei, Sweden – just you remember that.

Who cares muslims murdering swedes and each other, it is written in the qur’an to kill apostates and unbelievers. No crime has been committed, especially not in the Great Socialist People’s swedish arab Jamahiriya. Piss be upon it.

Islam is a threat to the West not because it has veiled women running around with concealed bombs, but because it takes women (and as an indirect result, men) out of this lucrative cycle of western psychological exploitation. Since she is not buying to attract men (or compete with other women), she no longer needs to buy most things fashion magazines attempt to sell women. Veils, Burqa and over garments pretty much eliminate the need to buy seasonally—since the design and purpose of the woman’s garment minimize attention and evades fashion. Without the provoked psychosocial frenzy instigated by media advertisements, the sexual tension that underlines the high crime statistics in the West will cease to be a contentious cause of human aggression. In contrast to the West, and in no small part due to the veil, societies like Saudi Arabia have crime rates that are, across the board, the lowest in the world.

Islam has come for all Muslims on earth, anywhere. It was given to and started from Arabs. But it was meant to be spread out to all humankind. Allah sent the revelations to His Prophet in Arabic and convey the message to all humankind through the language and customs the Arabs of that time were using. When I read Quran, I clearly get the messages. I don’t feel like I have to be an Arabic or an American or an African. All the teaching are applicable to who I am, what culture I belong to.. It tells me the ways to lead my life according to certain laws told by my Lord which are pretty much applicable to every human being on earth. And that is why I consider Islam as universal religion and it is! I don’t get this, why Allah will be forcing a lady living in Norway or Korea or any other part of world to follow what Arabs use to wear in their culture. I believe it only tells us the manners about man and woman interaction and wearing appropriate clothing representing dignity and grace. Now is there anyone deny with this??? This is acceptable in every culture. Vulgarity is considered as bad in every culture. Please value ISLAM. It is the only religion with logic and practicality. Do not associate anything objectionable without reading Quran to Islam. We all will be in front of Allah answerable for our deeds soon.

‘Muslims want to eradicate Christianity’ and conquer Europe claims potential next Pope.

MUSLIMS want to eradicate Christianity and conquer Europe – the Catholic cardinal tipped to be the next POPE has incredibly claimed.

Austrian Cardinal Christophe Schoenberg gave the unexpected warning on Sunday during a special celebration for the Church festival “Holy Name of Mary”.

According to the Archdiocese of Vienna, the Cardinal said: “Will there be an Islamic conquest of Europe? Many Muslims want that and say: Europe is at its end.”

Austrian Cardinal Christophe Schoenberg gave the unexpected warning on Sunday during a special celebration for the Church festival “Holy Name of Mary”.

According to the Archdiocese of Vienna, the Cardinal said: “Will there be an Islamic conquest of Europe? Many Muslims want that and say: Europe is at its end.”

He asked God to have mercy on Europe and to show mercy to its people, which he said “are in danger of forfeiting our Christian heritage.”

Cardinal Schoenberg, who is also the Archbishop of Vienna, explained that people could already feel this loss, “not only economically, but above all, in human and religious matters.”

The statement by the Carnival came as many places across Austria have been commemorating the 333th anniversary of the Battle of Vienna.

During the battle in 1683, combined Christian forces defeated over 100,000 soldiers from the Ottoman Empire.

The battle was fought by the Habsburg Monarchy, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire against the invading Muslim Ottoman Empire.

Polish King John III Sobieski famously commanded the Christian army toward its victory.

The Ottoman soldiers had already started to take the Austrian capital Vienna which was defended by only 10,000 Habsburg soldiers when Polish horsemen attacked them from the rear and devastated the Turkish army – which was forced to retreat.

Now, the battle is often seen as a turning point in history, which led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire.

The Catholic Church in Austria was not the only one to commemorate the event.

The far-right Austrian Freedom Party also held a controversial event, stressing the need to defend the “Western World” from invaders.

On a controversial poster, they wrote “Abendland Beschutzen Damals Wie Heute” which means to protect the Western World – in the past as well as today.

The event was held at Vienna’s Palais Ferstl, and included an opening speech by Vienna’s Vice-Mayor Johann Gudenus and speeches by Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache, as well as historian and university professor Dr Lothar Hobelt.

The commemorations come at a time of heightened tensions between Austria and Turkey, the modern Republic which succeeded the Ottoman Empire after its final collapse.

After the failed coup attempt in Turkey, Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz warned he will stop any move that brings Turkey closer to joining the European Union.

Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern said: “The membership negotiations are currently no more than fiction.” As a result Turkey recalled its ambassador to Austria and accused the country of being supportive of terrorism and a centre of Islamophobia.

“The two countries’ relations have sharply deteriorated since those events.”

The 71-year-old Cardinal has been linked as one of the most likely candidates to take over the position of Pope, although in previous elections at the end it was decided that he was still too young.

Terrorism and sexual grooming is nothing to do with Masajid, Imams and Muslim schools. Those Muslim youths who have been involved in terrorism and sexual grooming are the product of western education system which makes a man stupid, selfish and corrupt. They find themselves cut off from their cultural heritage, literature and poetry. They suffer from identity crises and I blame British schooling.

islam will die by its own hand, it cannot feed itself, it relies on western charity, not your alla demon or whatever it is. islamic nations do not accept other muslims as refugees, there will be a split there, and as violence is the only problem solving tool islam has, islam will be fighting wars on several fronts, between cults of islam and everyone else, islam will be destroyed, mostly by its own hand.

That won’t matter. Because the “Book of Daniel,” and John’s “Revelation” speaks of who will be sitting in and ruling earth from Jerusalem in the end, and it won’t be a Muslim.

A few things:
1. Ask yourselves why has terrorism spread to so many countries since the war on terrorism started. Here I’m questioning the methods used and wish you’d do the same.
2. As for the peaceful west, well, how many countries have been meddling and bombing in the middle-east since 9/11? Do our governments not ally themselves with various dictatorships, are we not mostly responsible for arming the world? Fact is, we often put monetary needs above humanitarian needs, is that civilized? Hardly.
3. Despite some setbacks, especially the last few years, the world is still a more peaceful place then it pretty much ever has been. The world had borders the last 100 years, yet it still produced two major world wars.

Bush declared Iraq war as god ordained. No one is blaming Christianity for millions of deaths. So no one should blame Islam for a few extremists.Terrorism just means an act designed to instil terror. It can mean in a group or an individual. That is how it works. But if we(individual or group) don’t respond with fear, the “terrorist” is not a terrorist. Just an individual who murders. A murderer. My “politics” if you want to call it that, is Islam. These are not organized terrorist groups -they are copy cat criminals-lone wolves jumping on the “terrorist” bandwagon – sick people determined to go out in a blaze of publicity just to get their 15 minutes of media fame. The media is acting SO irresponsibly by feeding them so much attention -they should be cutting off their supply so they shrivel up and fade away into total obscurity.

This is the moment Swedish police snared a suspected Isis fanatic following a high-speed chase and arrested him in relation to the Stockholm truck attack that saw at least four people killed and 15 injured. we don’t know anything about the attacker except that he was fro Uzbekistan. I don’t even know if he was here legally. Also, all the 7/7 attackers in London were home-grown. The Westminster attacker was home-grown convert. There isn’t a template for where these people come from or who they are, except that they all seem to be male petty criminals with diverse social problems. Please try to avoid simplistic explanations, it doesn’t help.

The 39-year-old father-of-four was arrested in the northern suburb of Marsta after going on the run following the attack, reported Swedish newspaper Aftonblat.

The man, believed to be from Uzbekistan, was wearing a balaclava, with broken glass on his clothes. He reportedly confessed to being involved in the atrocity.

Police suspect he was behind the wheel of the truck, although other security sources reported in Swedish media said the driver is still at large.

He had posted Isis propaganda on Facebook and liked pictures of casualties after the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon in 2013, Aftonblat reported.

A further arrest was made at 11pm last night in the Stockholm suburb of Hjulsta, according to Swedish newspaper Expressen.
Pictures show the second man, who looked younger, being handcuffed and taken away in a police car. According to Swedish television, the two arrested men are linked.

The short answer to your questions is:
The civilized world don’t go out of their way to kill people like Islam’s barbarians, and but will go way out of their way to give everyone due process. But don’t depend on that kindness to continue. Civil people will eventually get very tired of ruthless scummy Muslim killers and will instead allow quick justice firing squads. What’s your opine of disposing of Muhammad’s Satanic death cult that way???

This Rakhmat Akilov idiot should be stuffed with bacon and then slowly disassembled with a dull pair of hedge shears starting from the lower extremities and working up from there.
And a video of this should be made, shown on TV, and a copy mailed to ISIS so that they can see what happens to Muslims who randomly kill non-Muslims.
Then, his whole family, if he has one, should be located and exterminated.
It’s time to fight fire with fire.
