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

France: Muslim enters police station, screams “Allahu akbar,” stabs officer in the face

Dec 20, 2014 1:14 pm By Robert Spencer

France policeNot that this has anything to do with Islam, of course. “French police kill knife-wielding man who stabbed officer in the face,” i24News, December 20, 2014:

Man entered police station, screamed ‘Allahu Akbar’, attacked policemen

French police on Saturday shot dead a man who attacked them with a knife in a police station while shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic), a source said.

The man injured the face of a policeman at the entrance to the police station in Joue-les-Tours near the city of Tours in central France and injured two other officers before he was shot, the source said, adding that anti-terrorist investigators were probing the incident.

Islamic extremism is an increasing problem in France. In recent months, the country, which has Europe’s largest Muslim population, has been facing the fact that hundreds of its citizens have openly joined jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria and have even called for attacks on their homeland.

The number of French national who traveled to the battlefields of Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State terror group has doubled during the last year, the country’s security services announced on Wednesday.

The total number of French combatants enlisted by the group now stands at 1,200….

    Watch out USA we are admitting more Muslims here. This could happen to us.

      I would go further than saying this could happen here. It did happen here in America on a street in New York City. Remember the axe-wielding Mohammedan who attacked the police officers?

        But don’t worry about a thing. These things have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Furthermore, those attackers are always lone wolves. I wonder just how many lone wolves does it take to make a pack?

          “how many lone wolves does it take to make a pack?”

          I wonder, why all those political leaders, authorities, academics and the media, in the west, don’t seem to be able to get this!!

          There is hardly any doubt that the reason that all Werstern leaders are insistent that Islam is a RoP, is because they decided to do so some ten years ago when the “War on Terror” began.

          There is no other reason but that all Wesyern leaders are agreed on this, and have stuck to it for over 13 years.

          The war is Orwellina in nature, as the both the name of the strategy, and the name of the enemy is Orwellian.

          There’s no such thing as a pack of wolves, that’s an idea invented by wolfphobics with the intent to hurt the feelings of the wolves. What happens is that christian-zionist farmers are secretly plotting to kill all the wolves. You see, they make their farms in the plains and valleys while the poor wolves are starving in the mountains (not because overbreeding led to the extinction of their usual prey, that’s wolfphobic talk), and when the wolves see the fat livestock the farmers have, they can’t help but to attack livestock and farmers alike – it’s the farmer’s fault for having livestock. If the farmers give their livestock to the wolves them the wolves will stop attacking their livestock and everyone will live in peace.

    Doesn’t “Allahu Akbar” actually translate to “Allah is Greater”? As in Allah is greater than your god, greater than your beliefs?

    What is the actual translation for this?

    • ManchesterLad says

      Dec 20, 2014 at 1:44 pm

      Yes I thought so too. More “Allah is the greatest of all Gods”.

      Islam never misses a chance to insult infidels.

    • Angemon says

      Dec 20, 2014 at 2:09 pm

      Yup, they translated it wrong. “Allahu akbar” (allah is greater) sums up the religious supremacism which is the fundamental mission of islam – to bring everyone to worship allah and muhammad, whether they want to or not.

      • Jay Boo says

        Dec 20, 2014 at 2:20 pm

        Greater or Weaker?

        If a Muslim needs to shout “Allahu Akbar” while committing violence in Allah’s name, isn’t this an admission by the Muslim that Allah is weaker than the Muslim committing the act that Allah cannot accomplish all by himself.

        • mortimer says

          Dec 20, 2014 at 4:23 pm

          The Arabs translated this slogan from the Greeks of Asia Minor. In the well-known scene in the Acts of the Apostle 19:29 and 35, the cultic, pious crowd in Ephesus shouts for hours: “Megále e Artemis Ephesos!” (Artemis of Ephesis is great!).

          St. John of Damascus wrote: “These (Arabs) used to be idolaters and worshiped the Morning Star and Aphrodite, whom in their own language they called Khabár, which means great. And so down to the time of Heraclius they were very great idolaters. From that time to the present a false prophet named Mamed has appeared in their midst.”

          It is possible that the ‘Allat Chabar’ (Mighty Aphrodite) of the Koreish Arabs became the new war cry ‘Allahu Akbar’ of the male deity. ‘Koreish’ may be from Greek ‘Kora’ (the maiden referring to Venus). Mohammed’s tribe worshipped the goddess and so did young Mohammed who sacrificed to her. The Ka’aba llikely comes from Kybele, another goddess conflated with the great goddess.

          Aphrodite also corresponded with the Minor Asiatic form of Kybele as ‘Magna’ (Mater Idäa) or Artemis Megalé.

          .

          Mortimer, You offer some convincing evidence that Muhammad:
          ‘changed his religion’
          Yet after he conjured up Islam he hypocritically told his followers not to follow in his poor example.

    • Salah says

      Dec 20, 2014 at 3:58 pm

      There were more than 300 idols in the Kaaba. Apparently, Muhammad chose Allah (aka Allat or the Moon God) and declared it greater than all the other idols.
      So, “Allah Akbar” actually means “Allah (the Moon God) is greater…(than all other so-called gods.)
      We must also note that we find the moon (crescent) symbol on many islamic flags.
      We must also note that a few decades back, an infidel westerner … STEPPED ON THE MOON!!!
      Blasphemy or not blasphemy. That is the question!!!

      • Jay Boo says

        Dec 20, 2014 at 4:29 pm

        “300 idols in the Kaaba”
        —————————

        So that might explain why Allah the Moon God has an additional 99 names, in order to give the pagans an impression that the satanic verse quoting Muhammad was sympathetic to the attributes of pagan deities. The devil tricked Muhammad in order that Muhammad could trick the pagans.

        Meanwhile Cat Steven’s is Dreaming of a “MOON SHADOW”
        Islam’s moon with two faces for duplicity is like the dry, barren (and dimly lit) moon that stalks our earth in circles at night, Islam tries to steal all the credit from each star’s reflected light.

        Notice, even as its waning crescent lurks in the dead of night, the moon always hides one face from our view and then it disappears in the clear daylight.

        Give Turkey’s Erdogan a few months and he’ll probably have a back story for how Muslims landed on the moon first!

          They did. !!!!!
          Mohammed flew up there on a winged horse, landed on the moon and claimed it for Islam.

      Almost certainly. This moderate, peace loving Muslim was merely exercising his right to practice his religion, when he was gunned down in cold blood by the nasty, racist, islamophobic French police.

        topic:
        In France Muslim have already reached the critical mass when muslims feel strong and powerfull enough to show their real face and start to subjugate others and try to become dominant.
        That’s what happens in almost every Region where muslims appear.
        In valleys and cities of bosnia,serbia,macedonia and croatia.
        in malta in London and Marseille(both cities are almost lost cases now)

      Actually the Interior minister was very quick to say that this was an act of self defence, so no you are wrong.

      What was even funnier was on BFM TV they did a map showing Islamic terror attacks and arrests in Europe by country with France at the top and the presenter said the higher number is due to the proportion of Muslim sin France. I expect they will get told of for stating such obvious truths…

      It’s ridiculous that they shot him rather than trying to explain to him that Islam is a religion of peace and how much he must be misunderstanding it.

      • Kenny says

        Dec 20, 2014 at 2:43 pm

        Absolutely right! Obviously it’s the fault of the Jews. I mean, really what else could be the solution? Poor Muslim, obviously his actions are ‘out of context’.

        PS Sorry mate, but You’ll never walk alone. LFC

      • Arthur says

        Dec 20, 2014 at 7:43 pm

        Perhaps the cop should’ve used a stun gun instead? Or shot to wound instead of kill? Or pepper sprayed him? Or knocked him about with a bean bag? Or run and hid until the attacker got tired of screaming and then surrendered? Or sat him down on a chair and spun him in circles until he was too dizzy to attack…

        It seems we expect the police to all but surrender in these circumstances out of deference to the rights of thieves, murderers, and jihadis (who are, of course, innocent until a judge says otherwise). As if the police are the parents and the people are the children. (Seems like that’s how the government views us anyway).

    So a smaller scale version of what took place in China.

    The man injured the face of a policeman at the entrance to the police station in Joue-les-Tours near the city of Tours in central France and injured two other officers before he was shot, the source said, adding that anti-terrorist investigators were probing the incident.</blockquote

    At least he went jihadi on a police station rather than on a street or school. I hope the officer can recover in full, without any lasting scar, physical or mental.

    “Islamic extremism is an increasing problem in France.”

    Isn’t this nomenclature getting a bit tiresome. A more accurate articulation would seem to be: Islam itself is an existing and increasing problem . . . just about everywhere it turns up.

    Today at eiffel tower about 5.00 pm.. my wife handphone was snacted by bad guy and he ran away . It happen so fast.

Im proud of you mr Aymerick..mr hisham and 3 friend (i can not recall their name because im still neevous at that time).all of you deserve for good shown award. Thank you

    • Nomasislamporyo says

      If the phone had been stolen from an ethnic policeman would Aymerick and Hisham have tried to retreive it? Just curious.

    According to the Quran “Allah” is “the best of deceivers”, thus it is a synonym to Hermes.
    That’s contradictory to the inherently honest God of the Bible.

    Why police killed them instead of shooting him in a finger?! France have to investigate it and put policemans in a prison. Why not to give a state to islamists in the middle of France?! This is the reason for their violence and they have a right for it! Let make same standards for Europe as Europe makes for Israel.

    Dec 20, 2014 at 5:04 pm

    This attack in France is just one of many that will follow France is finished as a major country. They have a large muslim population bleeding them dry on welfare and are trying to morale sap them from within. They are just waiting for the right time to start the revolution. Muslims inherently are taught to believe that their culture is superior to all others even though muslim scientists and leaders in technology are about as thin on the ground as lawyers willing to defend Asia Bibi.
    France will be the first European country to fall as the muslims have about 20% of their population. Once they get to 25% of the population it is game over for France. Just wait and see.

    • terry says

      Dec 20, 2014 at 6:15 pm

      What a coincidence! Few days back, of all western powers, I was just thinking about France’s dilemma with its large Muslim population.

    • Arthur says

      Dec 20, 2014 at 7:52 pm

      Then they can inherit a nuclear weapons arsenal right in the middle of Europe! Of course, the only remaining target will be Israel, or maybe Rome, by then anyway. Everywhere else will already be Islamic.

    • Laura says

      Dec 21, 2014 at 6:53 am

      I read somewhere that eventually muslims will breed themselves into extinction through their love of in-breeding. But long before that happens they won’t even look like human beings, more like Frankenstein’s monster. The religious fundamentalism will have been lost by then and they will be more like animals (than they already are!) without sense or purpose.
      To jolly things along, we could cancel all Jihad Seeker Allowance payments and when they riot…shoot to kill.

    I’m wondering if I will live long enough to see people in Europe and America finally get fed up with the problem and stop either being politically correct or cowering to their threats.

    If you have no Muslims in your country, there can be no Jihadi terrorism. It’s really very simple.

    The highest obligation of a politician is to protect his or her citizens. Are we witnessing an Islamic coup from within?

    You’d think the French and their supposed ability to overthrow governments they don’t like because they don’t mess around (according to Michael Moore who was showing how great the social benefits are there, which is probably why it has such a high muslim rate now), would maybe get sick of this BS and defend their own. But for a country who treats Jews the way they do, my sympathy is low. They’re getting exactly what they deserve right now for being good dhimmis. Maybe some French will wake up and try to take their country back but I doubt it.
