Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

France: Several large-scale jihad mass murder attacks foiled

Nov 3, 2014 6:40 am By Robert Spencer

Nice-carnival-one-the-wor-003“Reports of the foiled attacks come after Islamic extremists from Isis called on followers to launch attacks on French soil…” If the planned jihad murders were a response to that call, they once again show the appeal of the concept of the caliphate, which makes the Islamic State immediately more influential among  many Muslims in the West than other jihad terror groups have been. But government and mainstream media analysts cannot acknowledge that appeal, much less study it, for to do so would be to admit that the Islamic State has something to do with Islam.

“Several ‘planned terrorist attacks’ foiled in France,” The Local, November 3, 2014:

Several terrorist plots against France have been foiled in recent months including one planned to target the famous Nice Carnival, French security services revealed on Monday. The news comes as France remains on high alert for attacks from extremists.

Details were revealed on Monday of three alleged terror plots on France that were thwarted by the country’s anti-terror police….

Nice:

According to reports, this was the most developed plot and was designed to target the annual Nice Carnival. Police arrested a man in February on the French Riviera and found him to be in possession of the explosive TATP, which can be manufactured at home and was used in previous terrorist attacks including the Marrakech bombings in 2011.

The explosives were found in three drinks cans, one of which had screws and nails taped around it. The arrested man had just returned from Syria and was allegedly plotting an attack similar to the one carried out at the Boston Marathon in April 2013.

Ile-de-France:

According to separate reports in Le Parisien newspaper on Monday, a young Frenchman was arrested in Creteil in the Paris region. He had reportedly been researching possible targets for an attack using the internet and trying to raise money so he could buy arms.

He was arrested in the summer and charged with “criminal association with a links to a terrorist organisation” before being jailed but he has denied the allegations against him.

Lille:

A man named Lyes Darani was arrested in the northern French city a year ago with a manual explaining how to make a bomb and a letter containing a religious pledge to commit a suicide attack, RTL radio reported.

“He had just returned from Syria through Lebanon, where he had prepared an attack against Shiites and was inquiring about targets in France for a suicide attack,” RTL reported.

Reports of the foiled attacks come after Islamic extremists from Isis called on followers to launch attacks on French soil, prompting the government to increase security at transport hubs and large shopping centres.

    The concept of the Islamic State comes from the Koran, hadiths, Sira, canonical commentaries, Sharia law and historical precedent. Political Islam is theocratic fascism.

    France has to realize that the appeal of ISIS is based on very solid grounds for Muslims. ISIS conflicts with the goals of national states created by the European powers following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918.

    The only way to stop the appeal of jihad is to expose the shaky and non-existent historical foundations of Islam. Deprogramming Muslims must come from governmental intelligence agencies.

    Only debunking Islam will succeed in the deprogramming Muslims. Islam must be shown to be false, amoral and delusional.

    “using the internet and trying to raise money so he could buy arms”

    Crowdsourcing or Kickstarter jihad? Thank goodness many of them are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

      No, but some of them carry the sharpest knives in the drawer.

    FRANCE :-
    France has always been & still is today the –
    MOST FAVORITE HOLIDAY DESTINATION OF THE OIL RICH PEOPLE FROM THE WHOLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
    In fact the MILLIONS / IN COLD HARD CASH / MONEY that FRANCE makes from tourism come from THE POPULATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST.

    FRANCE WOULD BE BROKE IF THE POPULATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST DID NOT FLOCK THERE.

    THE HOLIDAY DESTINATION OF NICE :- is like an Arab nation most of the time – so much so the a the French speak several Middle Eastern Languages – in fact it is a requirement for getting a job at holiday resorts that you can converse in Arabic tongues.

    Great, you let the tide of Muslim immigrants in and now you have full time jobs for thousands – tracking the activated extremists. Its all part of the effort to bankrupt Western civilization.

    It’s hard to fathom , that France along with Spain and Austria are so quick to forget their historical encounter . Oh yes the lefties are running the show. Where’s Queen Isabella ?

    Cheese-eating surrender-monkey socialiste Francois Hollande lectured the Canadian parliament earlier today, asserting how we “must not show weakness in the face of domestic terror” – as his own cities back home continue to burn, outside their over 751 sharia-ruled muslim-infested “Zones Urbaines Sensitifs” (ZUS sharia no-go zones) where he’s ceded all elected democratic secular authority to the barbarian terrorist invaders himself.

    And what has he done to combat this terror? Why, he’s made laws stating it’s now “illegal” for anyone in the media to report on islamic/muslim terror, that’s what!

    He seems to think: “If we cover it up, then it doesn’t exist! Whee!”

    Oh, and he also persecuted and banned the only organisation of French youths who actually opposed his selling them out by selling their country off to the muslims: Generation Identaire!

    Quel Plus TARD!
