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

France: Mayor of town where jihadi slashed cop says it was “isolated incident”

Dec 21, 2014 7:38 pm By Robert Spencer

AUGIS DEP photo nicolas rimbaux“The mayor, Frédéric Augis, described the attack as ‘an isolated event in a peaceful town’. ‘There are good relations here between all religious communities. This is a town of peace,’ he said.” This is always the case, is it not? They are all towns of peace. It’s a religion of peace, too. And they’re all isolated incidents. The world is overrun these days with isolated incidents. No one in Western governments or the mainstream media dares take note of the things that make them anything but isolated.

“Man shot dead by police in jihadist attack in Tours,” by John Lichfield, the Independent, December 21, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):

French anti-terrorism police are investigating an attack on a provincial police station where three officers were slashed by an assailant with a large knife before he was shot dead.

The attacker, identified as Bertrand Nzohabonayo, of Burundian origin, shouted Allahu Akbar [God is great] before lunging at the officers at Joué-lès-Tours, a suburb of Tours in central France on Saturday. Two policemen were gravely injured and a third wounded before the man was shot dead.

Nzohabonayo, 20, had posted the “Islamic State” (Isis) flag on his Facebook page last week, but was not previously known to be a potential jihadist. His brother is thought to have jihadist sympathies, but the attacker was seen as a “quiet man”, a former amateur footballer and football referee.

On Saturday evening, he rang the station’s bell, and when an officer opened the door, he slashed his face from mouth to ear with a large knife, police said. Two other officers tried to overpower Nzohabonayo. One was stabbed seriously and another cut slightly, before another policeman shot the attacker dead.

Investigators said Nzohabonayo was believed to be suffering from depression after a series of domestic quarrels. He converted to Islam four years ago, but – unlike his brother – was not regarded as an extremist or potential jihadist….

Joué-lès-Tours is a small town on the outskirts of Tours, a quiet city on the Loire. The mayor, Frédéric Augis, described the attack as “an isolated event in a peaceful town”. “There are good relations here between all religious communities. This is a town of peace,” he said.

    This mayor is just like the other western leaders,-a moron or a d dedicated liar so that the people do not find out the truth about Islam and Muslims. How many thousands of these isolated Muslim incidents are needed before they open their eyes. It is getting beyond sickening now, our own leaders are behaving like traitors and putting lives of innocent citizens in jeopardy!! Totally disgusting – Muslims won’t stop their jihad until and unless they forced to do it!!

      No way Man, you are being way too harsh.

      Islam is the religion of peace because Muslims say and demand that it is.

      Whenever Muslims do evil it is always the fault of someone else.

      It has nothing to do with the teachings of Islamic theology.

      We ex-Muslims know that Islam is perfectly evil religion of peace.

        The mayor is trying to live with a difficult reality and encourage collaboration. Not easy with such a large population that hates democracy.

        France needs to reevaluate their policies but that will take the election of an anti-immigration party.

        France needs a reality check. Things will get worse without a new immigration policy.

    If three imams were viciously attacked in the same manner we could rest assured that Muslims would praise the efforts of peace.
    Muslims everywhere would dance in the streets singing this has nothing to do with their favorite word, Islamophobia.

    Domestic quarrels, eh? With whom? Could it have been with his potentially jihadi brother about his lifestyle?

    The Mayor of the French town should grow a Mohammedan beard, dress his wife in a full body length Burka, and covert to Islam. That way peace in the land is sure to prevail! Will it not?

    Surely the secular citizens of the French Republic would be more happy living life under Islamic law, the Sharia. Islamic theocracy makes for perfect governance because it is based solely on the Quran and the sayings and doings of the perverted prophet of Islam found in the Sunnah. Or so they say…

    Never mind that we ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know the whole ball of wax of Islamic theology to be an evil fraud.

    Islam is no “religion of peace.” Islam is primarily a religion of “injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence.” The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about us, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance.

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

    In AD 732 I halted the Mahommedan advance about 40 miles to the south of where this thug did this cowardly deed. Just as we sent the minions of Allah packing then, so should Frenchmen rise up and defend their country now against this scourge. The Umayyad Caliphate sent their soldiers against us, but now they attack from within. Frenchmen, be on your guard!

    ISLAMIC TERRORISM: Just a few things to think about on a cold wintry evening….

    In 732 AD the Muslim Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell.

    in 1571 AD the Muslim Army/ Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto.

    …in 1683 AD the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.

    …this #$%$ has been going on for 1,400 years and half of these damn politicians don’t even know it !!! If these battles had not been won we might be speaking Arabic and Christianity could be non – existent;

    Judaism certainly would be… And let us not forget that Hitler was an admirer of Islam and that the Mufti of Jerusalem was Hitler’s guest in Berlin and raised Bosnian Muslim SS Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions who killed Jews, Russians, Gypsies, and any other “subhumans”.

    Reflecting A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.

    Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened!!! Do you remember?
    1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.
    2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.
    3. In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach, it was blown up shortly after landing by Muslim males.
    4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.
    5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.
    6. During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.
    7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.
    8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.
    9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.
    10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.
    11. In 1993 , the World Trade Center was bombed the first time byMuslim males.
    12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed byMuslim males.
    13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.
    14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.
    15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by—you guessed it was a— Muslim male.
    16. In 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing 4
    Innocent people including a child killed, 264 injured by Muslim males.

    No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

    So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.
    Absolutely No Profiling! They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old, Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males, alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

    Have the American people completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason???

    Let’s send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves — if they have any such sense.

    As the writer of the award winning story ‘Forrest Gump’ so aptly put it, ‘Stupid Is As Stupid Does’.

    Each opportunity that you have to send this to a friend or media outlet…

    Do It! OR SIT BACK, JUST KEEP GRIPING, AND DO NOTHING.

    Don’t you get it kuffar? Allah thinks that because you are not a pious Mahoundian you are depressed and have low morale. So he sent down from on high his most important ayat…’The floggings will continue until morale improves’ …This is ‘divine Islamic logic’. The expressions of that are Q 2:191-3 and 8:39.
    Allah thinks of everything, ain’t he great?

    FEAR is what holds Mohammedans to their religion!

    Islam Exists Only Because People Fear Being Murdered if They Leave

    HEAD OF MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, YUSUF AL-QARADAWI STATED:

    If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today. Islam would have ended since the death of the prophet, peace be upon him. Opposing apostasy is what kept Islam to this day.

    Surah 5:33 says: “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle is that he should be murdered or crucified.”According to Abi Kulaba’s narration this verse means the apostates.

    And many hadiths not only one or two but many narrated by a number of Muhammad’s companions, state that any apostate should be killed.

    Ibn ‘Abbas’s hadith: “Kill whoever changes his faith [from Islam].”

    Ibn Masud’s hadith: “Kill these three criminals: the adulterer, the murderer, and the apostate that leaves [our] community.”

    This in addition; to a big number of other narrations by other companions about apostasy.

    The most striking thing about his statement, however, was that it was not an apology; it was a logical, proud justification for preserving the death penalty as a punishment for apostasy. Al-Qaradawi sounded matter-of-fact, indicating no moral conflict, nor even hesitation, about this policy in Islam. On the contrary, he asserted the legitimacy of Islamic laws in relying on vigilante street justice through fear, intimidation, torture & murder against any person who might dare to leave Islam.

    ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION

    Islam is not a religion. It is a political system that was invented by one man – Mohammed. Why did he claim it was a religion? Upon a careful reading of the Koran and Hadith, it becomes clear that Mohammed was like any other charlatan claiming an exclusive relationship with God. He was neither the first charlatan to claim this, nor the last. In the past few decades itself, we saw many “mini-Mohammed’s”.
    David Koresh in Texas (USA) made similar claims. He too was having sexual relationships with many women. David Koresh lived in an age where he could not get away with it. The FBI attacked his compound where he was practicing Mohammed-like things, and he was killed. In Mohammed’s time, a few desperadoes could impose this new “religion” called Islam upon many unsuspecting Arabs, at the threat of death. That is the ONLY difference between these two charlatans.

    Would God – who has the entire universe to worry about – be bothered to send verse after verse covering for Mohammed’s sexual misdeeds? Would God send verses allowing Mohammed to bed any “believing woman who offers herself”, and at the same time threaten Mohammed’s wives with dire consequences if they indulged in adultery? What kind of “God” is this Allah, anyway? The answer is – Allah is not God. Allah is just the ventriloquist dummy of a charlatan named Mohammed.

    You see, this charlatan never had any spiritual experiences. He made up this whole act. It is absolutely clear that this is the case when you read the Quran and Hadith. The happy ending for Mohammed was that he had a LOT of sex (66 women in total, not bad for a Bedouin camel driver), and a LOT of power. His henchmen murdered men and women who so much as uttered any doubt about Mohammed’s “prophet hood.”

    People that are voted into places of power who come out with comments like isolated incident should simply not be voted into power ever again.

    That at least is the sensible thing to do here.
