Mali: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” murders five in nightclub

Mar 7, 2015 12:26 pm By Robert Spencer

BD8HTEThose who charge that concern over murders like these is just “Islamophobia” should kindly point out when Muslims have ever screamed “Allahu akbar” and then performed an act of charity, generosity, or magnanimity.

“Five dead including Frenchman and Belgian in Mali restaurant terror attack,” by David Chazan, the Telegraph, March 7, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A hooded assailant has killed five people including a Frenchman and a Belgian in a gun and grenade attack on a nightclub popular with expatriates in Mali’s capital Bamako.

A policeman, a security guard and a young woman were the three Malians who died.

The attacker shouted “Allahu akbar” (Arabic for ‘God is great’) as he burst into the nightclub, La Terrasse, at about one am and sprayed bullets from an automatic rifle, witnesses said.

French troops intervened in the west African country two years ago against groups linked with al-Qaeda.

The Frenchman was shot dead in the first-floor bar. The Belgian, a security officer with the European Union delegation in Bamako, was killed in front of his house in a nearby street as the attacker made his getaway in a car driven by an accomplice who also wore a hood concealing his face, police said.

As they drove away, the attacker hurled a grenade at a police car, killing the policeman.

Nine people were wounded, including two Swiss soldiers serving as UN experts, who were described as being in “stable but critical condition”, and a Swiss woman.

Two suspects were arrested, police said.

No group has claimed responsibility. French troops intervened in Mali two years ago against extremists linked with al-Qaeda who had overrun more than half of the west African country.

French troops rushed to the nightclub minutes after the attack and the area was cordoned off by Malian soldiers while they searched for unexploded grenades.

A local resident told France Info radio that gunfire continued for at least 10 minutes. “I saw a flash, I heard shooting and saw people running in all directions,” he said.

The French embassy advised French residents of Bamako to stay at home where possible and to exercise caution if they went out. More than 6,000 French citizens live in the city.

French and Belgian leaders condemned what President François Hollande described as a “cowardly attack”. Mr Hollande said he had offered the Malian president, Ibrahim Boubakar Keita, “the aid of France” to combat extremism.

Three months after the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, the French prime minister, Manuel Valls, said he was “horrified” by the attack in Bamako. “We will never yield,” he said in a tweet.

France, the former colonial power in Mali and several other north and west African countries, has 3,000 troops in the region whose role is to prevent jihadist groups from seizing territory.

French forces intervened in Mali in January 2013 after Islamist groups took control of the vast deserts in the north of the country, imposed sharia law, and started advancing towards the capital in the more fertile south.

The French drove them out of towns in the north, including Timbuktu, but the Islamists continue to roam across the desert and carry out attacks. However, this is the first such violence for years in the capital. About 1,000 French soldiers are still based in Mali….

    What are all the Mudslime girlfriends doing in the street, uncovered and unescorted. Looks like they ARE walking behind their boyfriends like proper slaves, but it is hard to tell.

      Winning war means to give the enemy everything you have in your arsenal. Humor was used very effectively against Hitler. We need to use more humor with these barbarians.

      On a serious note, what do Muslims in the ME do in an ISIS nightclub anyway…assuming they are not there to bomb it. Drugs? Smoke? Hashish? Goats? They don’t drink and they don’t like music or entertainment. Women are not allowed.

    Hollande said it was a cowardly act. And Valles said that he was ” horrified”.

    BUT FRANCE IS STILL FIRMLY IN THE ANTI-ISRAEL, PRO HAMAS/HEZBOLLAH/ PA/ MUSLIM CAMP.

    And the frogs are still anti-Semitic, as are the Belgians.

    i would ask the shitheads of these countries to compare the NUMBERS OF STARTS OF DAVID IN THEIR MILITARY CEMETERIES WHO FOUGHT TO FREE THEM FROM THE NAZIS, WITH THOSE OF THE CRESCENTS.

    AND THEN SEE WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE.

    but, the people, like their ‘leaders” ( and Obama_ are weak knee ass kissing muslim bootlickers.

    Just my views of the current worldwide ( except for Bibi and perhaps Parker in Canada) world leaders.

    No guts. And less in the way of common sense.

      I’ve been to France many times. We took a day trip from our vacation beach house Deauville over to Omaha and walked around. Amazing. Before we left, we went up to the U.S. cemetery there, it was real big, thousands of graves. The cemetery is immaculately maintained. There were lots of markers with Star of Davids on them, remember how that surprised me a bit. Didn’t see any crescents, which was good, cuz that would’ve soured my day.

        And now, France, (as well as Belgium, and probably many if not most of the Overrun countries that were liberated with the blood of Americans-including many Jews) are anti-Israel; anti_Jew and pro-Muslim ; Hamas is the ‘innocents’ that Israel bombed; the PA is ‘moderate’, etc.

        Sickening.

          Sickening in the bitter irony it brings to the stomach of a freedom loving American.

        The libs in Europe have taken everyone there to a sick dark place. A place that they created in their minds and that they first thought was a fun place. Europe does not speak well for secular humanism or Marxism. If this is the best they can do, people should force them to reverse course immediately.

        Instead, US Marxists and secular humanists can’t wait to be exactly like Europe. What is wrong with this picture. No logical person would do this to themselves.

    The attacker shouted “Allahu akbar” (Arabic for ‘God is great’)

    When will the press learn that it means “allah is greater”, and its implications?

      This I learned a decade ago from Robert.

      I’m beginning to think the real meaning (because of its implications) is deliberately being kept quiet.

    All I heard from the main stream media was that there has been a murder in a Mali restaurant. Not a word about Jihad, Allah Akbar, or Muslim. Just a plain old fashioned murder, you know, the ordinary type that can occur anytime, anywhere by anyone. Nothing to worry about.
    2 seconds after I heard this, I knew it was Jihad. Oh, so very Islamophobic of me.
