If the recent “Allahu akbar” attacks in France were all simply manifestations of “mental illness,” why are French authorities deploying soldiers in city centers? Are they afraid that the whole country is going crazy? Or are they well aware that these attacks were Islamic jihad attacks, despite their official denials?
“France attacks: Gunman ‘armed to the teeth’ arrested in Cannes as government deploys soldiers in city centres,” by Umberto Bacchi, International Business Times, December 23, 2014:
A gunman “armed to the teeth” has been arrested in Cannes as the French government pushes troops into city centres across the country, following two separate attacks that left one person dead and dozens injured.
A man carrying two loaded pump-action shotguns and a knife was detained early in the morning as he walked in the centre of the Mediterranean city, famous for its film festival.
Police officers spotted him on CCTV and proceeded to arrest him, local newspaper Nice Matin reported. His intentions were not immediately clear.
The development came as Prime Minister Manual Valls announced hundreds of extra troops will be deployed in numerous cities over the Christmas break, following a spate of attacks that has sparked fears of Islamic terrorism.
Ten people were injured and one has been killed after a 37-year-old man crashed his van into a crowded Christmas market in Nantes, western France.
A day earlier, another driver reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) ploughed his Renault Clio into pedestrians at several different locations in the eastern city of Dijon. He wounded 11 people.
The two nearly identical rampages followed a stab attack in the central town of Joue-les-Tours that saw a 20-year-old man slash the throat of a police officer and wound two others.
The assailant, identified as a Muslim convert named Bertrand Nzohabonayo, was shot dead by police.
Authorities said the drivers in Nantes and Dijon suffered from mental illness.
President Francois Hollande said there was no link between the three attacks, which Valls claimed were unrelated to terrorism.
Security has been stepped up across city centres in France in the wake of the attacks. Up to 300 troops have deployed across sensitive spots, such as busy commercial areas and transport hubs.

Everyone knows that the cure for “mental illness” is soldiers….right??

ER ?? I think they are already full of Hallucinogenic Drugs !

That is NOT armed to the teeth. Stop by sometime and I’ll show you what armed to the teeth actually looks like. =P

blaming the mentally ill is itself absolutely disgusting, people with mental illness are no more likely to commit violent acts than any other person. this is like the UK’s insistence on calling the savages asian, Hindus, Sikhs and Japanese for that matter are very passive and don’t rape our children.
here we don’t get any description of these 250 rapists, but we all know its muslims raping infidels, they aren’t even saying “asian” on this one, no description at all.

Seems there is a mental illness epidemic in France(and usa)-and they try not to fight it with medicine but with
Armys.
That’s very very strange,or is this epidemic mental illness just the same 1400year ol’ mental illness that appears whereever mohammeds followers reach a certain strength(just like mohammed who became violent when as soon as he was powerfull enough.
According to Nietzsche:
“Madness is rare in individuals but in groups it is the rule”
me thinks this is group madness
TH says
Mental illness has a lot to do with failing to live in reality and denying it. So, I would suggest that Obama, Cameron and the rest of Western politicians are in real danger of actual mental illness as denying evident reality doesn’t come gratis.

Increasing the cost of security provision is part of the bankruptcy jihad.

“Increasing the cost of security provision is part of the bankruptcy jihad.”
Indeed.

Troops, eh? Let me guess: they’re packing straitjackets (they are a french invention, after all) and sedatives.
Keith says
Hopefully, being French, each soldier is being issued with a guillotine for use once the Islamically insane person has been aprehended
Pere LaChaise says
Yes, the best therapy for that particular form of mental illness is fair-sized ‘bolus’ of lead delivered to the patient at high velocity, preferably straight to the organ most afflicted by the malady ‘jihadism’, i.e., the brain. Since the training for this specific therapy is simple, mere soldiers, paid abysmally low wages comparable to Home Health Aides and easily located, as they are already employed in large numbers wherever there are significant numbers of individuals likely to become infected by the virus that causes jihadism (nicknamed Mighty ISIS or Dash) are the best suited for the task.

“…the best therapy for that particular form of mental illness is fair-sized ‘bolus’ of lead delivered to the patient at high velocity, preferably straight to the organ most afflicted by the malady ‘jihadism’, i.e., the brain…..” So these specimens actually have functioning brains??? To judge from their behaviour here in the UK and elsewhere I always though that their control centre was further down the anatomy. In which case a sharp knife to the scrotum would do the job. Or perhaps not so sharp. Make it more interesting!!
WhatsUpDoc says
Its not Jihad attack until at least 25 people die less than that its accidents caused by mental illness and this illness is NOT Islam.
Jay Boo says
Imagine all those wealthy liberal artsy types waxing poetic about Islamic architecture while smugly trying to outdo each other in showing off their tolerance to anything related to Islam while casually reclining on their yachts in port at Cannes.
This might pop their PC bubble.
AJ says
Slowly, very slowly, it begins, the civil war that will engulf the entire continent of Europe has begun, the leftists and islamists on the one side and the, well just the people on the other side, my God I hope my children will be spared.
Jay Boo says
John McCain would tell us that “Allahu akbar” means “Merry Christmas” in French.
Arthur says
Someone should do a careful, scholarly analysis of how Lebanon fell to Islam. A clear staging by what happens and how frequently probably emerges, whereby we could stage the Islamization of countries. This could really make discussions more exacting, just like grading tornadoes, seas, and hurricanes is more exact.
I propose we call it the Spencer Scale, in honor of a great anti-jihadist. But it would need to have quantitative, unambiguous measures, such as number of people killed in jihad attacks, number of Muslims per captia, and maybe legal or financial measures as well.
Imagine its use: Sweden is a Spencer 4 country, the USA is a Spencer 2 country, the Islamic State is a Spencer 9 country. It would make for clear charts over time.
Angemon says
I think Brigitte Gabriel addressed that in some of her videos.
Silvia says
If all these attackers are mentally ill, why don’t they put psychiatrists on the streets?
Jack Holan says
Even for the French I think the storyline is too much too often to believe. If they believe it after the deployment of troops into the cities; they are a bunch a dunces.
Ayattollahowmany says
Correct- ISLAM is indeed a mental illness, caused by indoctrination of children.
How muhammad would have LOVED what’s going on now!
jay says
I love how the Western governments in its long attempts to try to take away the stigma of mental illness has now thrown the mentally ill under the bus for Islamists. But hey, they sell out and betray every other part of our values and culture for these wastes of skin, so why not?
Myxlplik says
Jay,
Don’t forget “Asians” and “youth”, the media tosses them under the Islam bus as well :).
WCCrusader says
Anyone else wondering why the news about the Glasgow Lorry Bin driver has been kept under wraps? I’ve heard two guys in the cab jumped out, which seems strange. Not sure why they couldn’t have tried to assist with braking/steering if the driver really was incapacitated. Instead they jumped. Very odd situation in that cab. They have managers with zipped lips at the entrance to the Municipal services.
The truck traveled roughly 1000 ft, or 3 football fields, before it crashed.
This guy most likely had a medical episode (some type of seizure or possible heart attack), and the authorities don’t want his name or address given out due to privacy and retaliation concerns.
But is it possible that something else happened in that cab that made the others in it jump out, and why have we not heard anything from those that jumped? They haven’t been quoted, even without being identified. I’m not a conspiracy type guy, but I am saying I won’t be surprised if this turns out to be other than an accident…

ManchesterLad says
Yes.
George Ieronymdis, owner of the Elia Greek Restaurant on George Square, said he had been told that some of the bin lorry’s crew were seen jumping from the vehicle and holding their heads in their hands, looking devastated.
Yes it does seem very odd doesn’t it? Of course, this is already a third hand account, ‘the restaurant owner had been told’ and it is from the BBC, so maximum chance of news manipulation there.
Depending on how they jumped they could have been holding their heads in their hands to shield their heads or does this imply they tried to do something about the driver but were unable to?
I can’t really think why they will have been told not to talk to the press unless it is a criminal investigation, ie unless the driver was acting deliberately and he actively prevented them from helping. Of course we don’t know.
Why can they not release the name of the driver? Surely, his identity can’t be in doubt?
cronk says
This is desperation on part of the political elite of France and other countries like the U.S. They are terrified of admitting their policies have led to a mass of potential terrorists in their midst and the ensuing political demise of them and their policies once the public wakes up and they are. So they are going to lie like they never have before in the hopes they can keep the public sleep walking.
But every stabbing, shooting, attack with a vehicle is another jab in the side of the public to wake up and take a hard look around.
And when they do, the political class and it’s hangers on better watch out.
Myxlplik says
Nothing like having imposed martial law in major European cities during the Christmas holiday to protect civilians against attacks from the Caliphate, nothing like it admits you were wrong, regarding Islam.
Due to immigration policy, the Calpiphate has soldiers in great numbers in the west & western governments are now deploying soldiers in our cities to protect our population from invasion.
That’s the situation & it doesn’t matter what they say now, the trigger is pulled, precedent set.
mortimer says
Alarm bells should be going off in everyone’s minds. It’s time to remove the savages rather than surrender to them. They are supremacist fanatics as the Nazis were. The French should be able to see the similarity. The French should try to imagine France if the Nazis had started to COLONIZE France and replace the French with Germans. The French have done that to themselves by inviting jihadists.
IQ al Rassooli says
EUROPE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ
The following is a translation of an article which was published in Spain AFTER the Madrid bombings by a Spanish journalist Sebastian Vivar Rodriguez: November 21, 2004.
“ I was walking along Raval (in Barcelona) when all of a sudden,
I understood that Europe died in Auschwitz.
We assassinated 6 million Jews in order to end up bringing in 20 million Muslims!
We burnt in Auschwitz the culture, intelligence and power to create.
We burnt the people of the world, the one who is proclaimed the chosen people of God.
We must admit that Europe, by relaxing its borders and giving in under the pretext of tolerance to the values of a fallacious cultural relativism, opened it’s doors to 20 million Muslims, often illiterates and fanatics that we could meet, at best, in places such as Raval, the poorest of the nations and of the ghettos, and who are preparing the worst, such as the 9/11 and the Madrid bombing and who are lodged in apartment blocs provided by the social welfare.
We have also exchanged culture with fanaticism, the capacity to create with the will to destroy, the wisdom with the superstition. We have exchanged the transcendental instinct of the Jews, who even under the worst possible conditions have always looked for a better peaceful world, for the suicide bomber. We have exchanged the pride of life for the fanatic obsession of death.
Our death and that of our children.
What a grave mistake that we made!!!
Having studied these subjects over a period of two decades, I would like to point out the following simple FACTS, that invariably escape the attention of people, who do not have the time or make the effort to reflect upon these issues:
1 The Jews have lived in Europe for nearly 2000 years especially after the conquest of their country Judea by the Romans.
2 The Jews were NEVER a threat to Europe nor to Christianity in any way shape or form:
a) Not numerically
b) Not militarily
c) Not economically
d) Not culturally
e) Not theologically
f) Not racially
g) Not demographically
h) Not intellectually
i) They assimilated without loosing their identity
j) They survived in spite of their persecution & slaughter
k) They contributed enormously in the sciences, economics, medicine and other fields out of proportion to their numbers
l) They fought in the defence of their countries of residence whether French, German, English or Russian
m) They OBEYED all the rules of the lands they lived in and were utterly loyal to them
3 On the other hand:
a) The Muhammadan Muslims do NOT integrate or assimilate, because they are PROHIBITED from doing so by the Quran
b) They DEMAND their religious rights in our democracies while they deny every which one to US in their countries
c) They declare publicly, and in their mosques every Friday, their intention to SUBVERT our systems of freedoms and human rights and subjugate them instead to Muhammadan Islamic Shari’a
d) They use our own democracies and liberties to bring about the very changes that will destroy us
e) They are a threat demographically & theologically to Christian Europe
f) Their loyalty is first and foremost NOT to the countries they reside in but to the UMMA of Muhammadan Islam
g) Their threat to our freedoms, our religions, our liberties and our democracies is both INTERNAL as well as EXTERNAL
If some of these observations may sound racist or inflammatory to the ultra sensitive ears of the Politically Correct, they are NOT, since they are based entirely on FACTS & REALITY as we read about them and see them daily in our news.
Our worst enemies are from within us represented by many of:
Our SPINELESS politicians, our CRIMINALLY IGNORANT media, our UNCOMPREHENDING & MISGUIDED clergy and last but not least our utterly CONTEMPTIBLE academicians, all of whom are thus AIDING, ABETTING and COLLUDING with the very Muhammadans who seek our destruction.

Magnificent summing up of our situation by Senor Rodriguez!
ECAW says
And by IQ al-Rassooli I think. I just realised the second half of the post is in his style.
Eva says
Seems like mental illness is the new excuse of the month. “Poor, disengaged and disenfranchised” was so 2014…
ECAW says
So we’re moving from tragedy to farce. Perhaps it’s one of the later stages of denial before reality hits.
Anyway, a happy Christmas to Robert Spencer and Marc and anyone else involved in JW – and many thanks for the great work they do getting some of the truth out there despite all the opposition.
Robin Rosenblatt says
To all those people living in the Land of Oz .
We are in a World wide Islamic Cultural War or 1400-year-old Jihad.
We each see a different parts of it in the world and if you put all the violent parts together it adds up to only one cause: a 1400 year old Islamic Cultural War. It is the same as that joke of four blind men touching the elephant.
The names of the Arabs and Muslim Terrorists change but the behavior has been always the same for the last 1400 years.
It is not about land, rights or settlements, water or being politically left or right. If it were it would have been solved long ago. It has not.
It is Cultural War that means Islamic Culture must destroy Western Culture or Western Culture must destroy Islamic Culture. It is a Cultural Genocidal War, just like the American/Indian wars were about. This time we are the Indians.
Muslims have been fighting each other and others for 1400 years or more. There is no reason that it will stop now. If we want peace we must change Islamic Culture.
The book “Culture and Conflict”, explains it clearly. It shows that current cultural conditions in the Arab Middle East will not support internal development, advancement or peace until there is a major cultural change. “It is critical that we understand our enemy. That is step one in every conflict,” RR. Philip Carl Salzman, INSB # 978-1-59102-587-0.
Robin Rosenblatt says
Many Americans are Blind, Deaf and Dumb
We are in an Islamic Cultural War. That has no Borders
Islamic Culture must destroy Western Culture OR
Western Culture must destroy Islamic Culture.
Stealth Jihad will destroy America!
It is a Genocidal War.
Islamic Culture = Evil: Western Culture = Civilization
Choose Freedom or Slavery
This is a battle between Light and Darkness or Good and Evil or Knowledge and Slavery
Decided which side you are on?
Robin Rosenblatt says
Islamic Culture is a Slave Culture
Many Muslims see us as Keffers and Dimmi’s and Blacks as slaves. Keffers sub human for Christians and Dimmi’s sub human for Jews, Black translates into Arabic as Slave. Women have no classification, they are just things in Islamic culture, lower then slaves. Talking to them as a civilized person is like a slave talking to a Master.
In the book: “The Third Choice” by Mark Durie: One choice become Islamic, second choice a slave, third death. Add one choice if you act now, Freedom.
TONY DAVIS says
Mental illness is an excuse, they are just barbaric SAVAGES!!!

It is surely no coincidence that France which has the highest % of Muslims is also getting the highest number of jihadist actions

News Media refusing to call out jihadists for what they are..
The next step will be labeling Christians as mentally ill..
Now the religion of ‘peace’ is linked with mental health….disgusting
