Forsane Alizza is a telling indication of how the stealth jihadists who promote the Muslim Brotherhood-coined concept of “Islamophobia” are working hand-in-glove with violent jihadists. “French killings refocus fears on ‘solo’ acts of terror,” by Paul Cruickshank and Tim Lister for CNN, March 21:
…What is unclear is when and how Merah was radicalized, whether online or through membership of a radical Islamist group in Europe. Gueant said Wednesday that Merah became radicalized amid a small salafist group in Toulouse and had connections to a group called Forsane Alizza (“Knights of Pride”). But there is no evidence that any of its members was involved in or aware of his plans.
Forsane Alizza was outlawed in January by the French government, which alleged that it was a terrorist organization training members “for armed combat.” For its part, the group said its mission was to fight Islamophobia and has said it will contest the government’s decision.
But its website used militant language such as calling for “soldiers” to defend Muslim women.

One member suggested that the right-wing Swiss politician Oskar Freysinger deserved a “bullet in the forehead.” Freysinger has campaigned against permitting minarets on mosques in Switzerland.
Forsane Alizza also seems to be tied to a group called the Force de Défense Musulmane sur Internet, which campaigns to have Islamophobic material removed from websites.
Forsane Alizza appears to have been strongest in Paris and the central French city of Limoges, where several of its members were arrested in 2010 after invading a McDonald’s restaurant and shouting anti-Semitic slogans. The group has also protested a French law banning women from wearing a full veil in public places and posted a number of well-produced videos of its protests in French cities….
