France: Muslims plotted jihad terror attack at conference on anti-Semitism

Jan 22, 2015 3:07 pm By Robert Spencer

TERROR IN FRANCE“The police officer said the brothers ‘had the ambition of dying as martyrs’ and ‘planned to carry out imminently an act of violence.'” One wonders if the anti-Semitism conference organizers had any intention of examining Islamic anti-Semitism, or was going to set that aside in the interests of “community harmony.” In any case, Islamic anti-Semitism was examining them.

“France foiled attack at anti-Semitism conference, report says,” JTA, January 21, 2015:

Jihadists arrested last year in Lyon were planning to carry out a terrorist attack at a Jewish group’s conference about anti-Semitism, a French newspaper reported.

The five suspects who were arrested in a series of sweeps by French police between Sept. 16 and Sept. 18 were planning to strike on Sept. 18 at an event organized in Lyon by the regional branch of the CRIF umbrella of French Jewish communities and organizations, according to a report Tuesday in the Le Progres daily.

An unnamed police officer who is in charge of the investigation confirmed to the daily that the suspects were arrested following the interception of a September 5 telephone conversation in which they discussed their plans.

Among the five arrested are Karim and Reda Bekhaled, two brothers who are believed to have been involved in recruiting radical Muslims to fight in Syria, along with the remaining three suspects. Reda Bekhaled was heard discussing the plans in the recorded conversation.

The police officer said the brothers “had the ambition of dying as martyrs” and “planned to carry out imminently an act of violence.”…

    “The police officer said the brothers “had the ambition of dying as martyrs” ”

    There are two main reasons why they want to die as martyrs:
    1- Sexual perversion (the Islamic Paradise brothel.)
    2- Fear (most of them are too proud to talk about it: the Torments of the Grave.)

    How were they ”planning to strike”, I wonder ?

    In a Charlie Hebdo style attack, or were they planning to infiltrate the conference, and then detonate bombs, or go berserk with knives and guns ?

    It really does behove **anyone** who is planning, organising, such conferences, to be **extremely** careful, and ruthlessly vet **anyone** who plans to attend.

    They ought to *demand* that everyone who attends stomps, and spits, on the koran, draws a satirical cartoon of the putrescent mohammed, and declares solidarity with Israel.

    There are obviously several thousand jihadists in France…perhaps as many as 8,000 who are interested in conduction jihad. The French police and intelligence services know who they are but cannot watch everyone 24/7.

    We have to reduce the number of Muslims living in the West and use psychological techniques for identifying jihadists at risk and keep them from gaining residency. New laws are needed to prevent terrorists from returning.

    I have worked with the French a number of times, and was impressed by their performance. Of course the experience of others vary, and the French do have lapses every now and again like every one else, but when it is time to move, they move with purpose. It doesn’t surprise me to the least they knew about these guys for a while and waited until now to pick them up. Patience and timing. Unfortunately they dropped the ball on the cartoonists, or did they? After all, the French government has their agenda too. Perhaps they were looking for a legitimate excuse to crack down on these so called no go zones without upsetting the libtards, and be rid of some annoying cartoonist too. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is horrible what happened to Charlie Hebdo, but that does not mean the French authorities liked them.

    Muslim’s leeching the life out of France, just got more costly, what a price tag for the “privilege” of Islamic Multiculturalism.

    Why is there no toilet-paper strong enough to wipe these Muslim stains away?
