Why did they care? Why does everyone except the Islamic State know that it has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam? No doubt Pope Francis is on his way to Germany now to explain to these earnest young migrants, whose entry into Germany he insists it would be un-Christian to oppose, that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
“Islamic State cell planned to murder critic of Islam in Germany,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, April 26, 2020:
BERLIN—A cell of Tajiki members of the Islamic State terrorist organization planned to execute a critic of Islam in Germany.
The German paper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reported in mid-April that the now-arrested Islamic State cell “planned to assassinate the Islam critic Amir Masoud Arabpour M. from Neuss. The ex-Muslim, who converted to Christianity, repeatedly questioned the teaching of the Koran in YouTube clips. M. has been a considered an enemy of the radical Islamic Salafist scene since the beginning of 2019.”
The paper added that “On March 14, 2019, a member of the cell evaluated the surroundings of the targeted victim. According to the federal prosecutor, the goal was to shoot the Islam critic.”
The Iranian-born Amir Masoud Arabpour lives in the city Neuss near the major city of Düsseldorf in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia…

Video Amir Arabpour mocks Islam in rap and gives a seminar on why Islam doesn’t make sense.

Meanwhile the clueless Pope Francis insists his unread, unstudied platitudes on Islam hold water. It’s shameful that such a presumptuous, arrogant pose is assumed by a Christian leader. The pope even punishes those who bring evidence proving that his platitudes are untenable. The brief definition of jihad is this: “To fight [with the sword] for the sake of Allah to make His Word the highest of the high and the word of the disbelievers the lowest of the low.”
All Christian clergy should learn that the Koran is a frontal assault on the KERYGMA … the basic gospel in the Book of Acts that was the teaching of the Twelve Apostles. The Koran denies all three core teachings of the basic, primitive gospel KERYGMA, namely, the death, resurrection and divinity of Christ, without which there is no Christianity. One of the purposes of the Koran is to destroy Christianity, especially the KERYGMA. Koran 9.30 says, “May Allah fight them to the death” (i.e. fight Christians to destroy them). K.9.30 is clearly a call for violence against Christians. Much of the Koran is a polemic argument against Christianity.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
You are, of course, correct.
I have one question for you:
How is it possible that the average Jihad Watch reader knows more about islam than Pope Francis?
With all of his years of religious study and countless advisors?
How?
…Or is he PURPOSELY misleading his flock?
Lilith Wept says
Why is it that the average Jihad Watch reader knows more about Islam than the US Federal goverment , and most of the state goverments?
Is it truly ignorance or is it more …..bribes? …..fear of Islamic violence? Or are they purposely lying to us ? And if so, why? What benifit for them?
To keep us from rising up and throwing the lot of them out, as well as doing violence to moslems?
Seeing as so many career politicians ( like Ice Cream Pelosi for example ) are so removed from the world that the rest of us live in , ignorance is a distinct possibility.
There is a certain … defiant mental blindness …in the die hard liberal leftist , that can look at the evidence of their senses and deny it .

I am seriously,seriously, impressed by ANYBODY who leaves islam..some may define themselves as atheists {like the excellent Apostate Prophet on YT},some might become Christians{like Nabeel Qureshi},but it is really amazing and praiseworthy to escape from islam.
If it is any help to any ex-muslims attacked by islamic fascists consider the following.
1}allah doesn’t guarantee those muslims who attack you salvation because he does not permit final penitence {koran 4:18}How secure are they in their god?A god who does not permit final penitence is unmerciful:you have to live in constant fear of being sent to hell
That explains all that “just for show” islamic false piety:it is based on fear and directed at an ARAB god al LAH{the polar opposite of the Christian God}
allah the UN-merciful
2}allah MISSED the Golden Rule{Matthew 7 v 12}
It is in the Bible but not in the koran:isn’t that a bit odd?Especially when you consider that the Golden Rule is defined as the MEANING of “the Law of Moses and the teachings of all the prophets”.So allah MISSED the meaning of it all!
And he claims he wrote the Bible k3:3
allah teaches the OPPOSITE to the 2nd chief commandment of God {Lev19:18}No need to “love thy neighbor” in islam since he is classed as “the worst of created beings” koran 98:6 and indeed if you are friends with an infidel YOU are an infidel koran 5:51:How nuts is that?Note how koran5:51 violates the 2nd chief law of YHWH/God Lev19:18
{if you are an ex-muslim but now christian consider:allah also missed the Holy Spirit,the importance of the 2 chief commandments{Matthew 22 v 37-40},gets the Theology of the Trinity laughably wrong {koran 5:116:allah thinks MARY-yes,MARY-is part of what he sees as a polytheism when in fact the Trinity is a monotheism}and has a doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa} instead of LOVE.
If you are an ex-muslim and now a Christian look at the koran from the perspective of the Holy Spirit and notice all the things that are MISSING from the koran:the 2 chief commandments,the Golden Rule,the Holy Spirit etc.
since allah tells muslims to consult those who know the Bible {koran 10:94}- so if you are attacked you might get them to READ their own koran.
koran 3:3 allah confirms the authenticity of the Bible
koran 5:46-47 allah confirms the Gospel and note..condemns those who attack it[since allah claims he wrote the Gospel “that which allah hath revealed”,muslims are on rocky ground when they attack it{“..such are evil..”says allah}
David wood at acts17apologetics on YT has a series out on the koran vs the Bible
3}allah the “best of deceivers” k3:54 has as his enemy a MAN called the “King of Kings”,Malik al Amlak{Sahih muslim vol5 hadith #5611}
allah’s enemy is a MAN.
{And you know who the King of kings is…..}
4}Seriously,well done to anybody who manages to escape islam.

Yes–anyone who escapes Islam is courageous.
keith says
Everyone seems to have missed the good news in this story.
The mudslimes who were planning this murder were caught. This means that this critic of Islam can continue to speak the truth about the koran. And it is the truth that these vermin are afraid of, because it removes their power.
As such, this critic and all like him must become Koala Bears, (protected species), they have been mudslimes, they are the voice of sanity to combat an evil ideology.

True, Keith. But this likely will not be the last plot against this brave apostate.
European pagan says
I saw some of his videos.
It was a little bit long time before that muslims put fake informations about him to the internet (he never was a muslim etc.).
It is dangerous to be an ex muslim and to show your face on YouTube. That’s why we have to stop radical islam. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are in danger
gravenimage says
He never was a Muslim–yet he still has to be murdered for being an ex-Muslim.
Islamic “logic”.
European pagan says
They wrote a lot of sh.t about him, for example that he was zoroastrian, because they didn’t want people to believe what Amir says about islam.
Other ex muslims like Hamed Abdelsamad and Sabatina James have problems too, the police has to protect them 24 hours a day and they can not go to the street alone.

Grimly true, European Pagan.

Germany: Islamic State planned to murder ex-Muslim who questioned the teaching of the Qur’an
……………………….
This is what Islam teaches–vigilante murder if the state doesn’t butcher people in the name of Islam. Glad it was stopped this time.
