Islamic Terrorist Who Kidnapped Jewish Teens Near Auschwitz is Kuwaiti Ambassador’s Son; Will Get No Jailtime
By Debbie Schlussel
Yesterday, I told you about how three Brazilian Jewish teens visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp were kidnapped and held hostage at their Warsaw, Poland hotel by a Kuwaiti Muslim named “Mohammed A.” The 23-year-old Muslim kidnapper claimed he had a bomb.
Well, guess who Islamic terrorist “Mohammed A” is? He’s Mohammed Al-Shaibani, son of Kuwaiti Ambassador to Poland Khalid Al-Shaibani.
Note that Kuwait would not condemn the kidnapping and terrorist threat. So much for the claim that the country only boycotts Israel, not Jews. I guess, technically, it’s true. They don’t boycott Jews–they just kidnap and threaten to blow them up just miles from where Jews were cooked in ovens. Touching.
The press and the Poles are belittling the incident and pawning it off on a claim that Al-Shaibani was drunk at the time. Sorry, not buying it. Just because he allegedly didn’t live by the letter of Islamic law prohibiting consumption of alcohol doesn’t mean a thing. This was planned and it was deliberate.
Incredibly, Polish authorities released this Islamic terrorist, Al-Shaibani, on bond. And they say he will receive a suspended sentence, meaning he will serve ZERO jail time. Sickening. Yeah, that’ll be a real deterrent to future terrorism in Poland. And a real boon to future Jewish tourism there.
“March of the Living”–an annual Holocaust commemoration tour on which the teens were traveling–brings 10,000 Jews to Poland annually. This slap on the hand by Polish authorities sends a message to Jews–just like in the 1930s and ’40s–that their lives are meaningless.
Why Poles would slap Jews in the face, yet again, despite their tourist dollars, is beyond me. But it tells us something: their centuries-long anti-Semitism isn’t a thing of the past.
Every member of my immediate family–except me and my late father–has gone to Poland on “March of the Living.” But you won’t see me going there. I won’t risk my life to travel to or give a penny to those who think a Muslim plot of kidnapping three Jews and threatening to blow them up is not worthy of any real justice. We already saw that in Poland in the ’30s and ’40s and the centuries prior.
I still have the same questions I had yesterday about this incident, and more of them:
* Who was Mohammed Al-Shaibani working with in this kidnapping plot?
* Since his father is the Kuwaiti Ambassador, he probably wasn’t a hotel guest. Who told him where Jews were staying?
* What were the details of Al-Shaibani’s plan to kidnap Jews?
* How much did the Kuwaiti government and his Kuwaiti Ambassador father know about the plot?
* There are many hotels in Warsaw. How did Al-Shaibani know at which hotel Jews were staying and the location of the Jewish teens’ sixth floor room, where he ambushed and held them hostage?
Clearly, this was not a random, drunken incident. This was planned ahead of time.
WTF??? I thought that the kuwaties were more tolerant and moderate? Was I wrong?
