Six of them were converts to Islam, illustrating, as French Prime Minister Manuel Valls says here, the Islamic State’s “formidable ability to indoctrinate.” In a sane society, intelligence officials would be studying that ability to indoctrinate and formulating ways to counter it. Instead, all — all — Western governments have committed themselves to the fiction that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and that they need not undertake any study of its ideology — waving it away as un-Islamic is enough for Valls, Cameron, Obama and the rest.
“Seven French Nationals Guilty of Suicide Attacks for ISIS,” Arutz Sheva, April 13, 2015 (thanks to Block Ness):
France’s prime minister revealed Monday that seven French nationals or residents, including six converts to Islam, had committed suicide attacks in Syria and Iraq.
Speaking in parliament as he defended controversial draft spy laws, Manuel Valls said that of the hundreds of French people who had made their way to Islamic State-held territory, seven had died staging the suicide operations.
“The youngest was not yet 20,” he said.
“Is Daesh (ISIS) deliberately sacrificing these types of people as a matter of priority? Do the candidates for suicide attacks have to prove their ideological zeal to vouch for their conversion?” Valls said. “In any case, this illustrates Daesh’s formidable ability to indoctrinate.”
On Monday, MPs debated whether to allow spies to hoover up data from suspected jihadists.
Valls’s comments came a day after French daily Le Figaro published an interview with EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova, who said that an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 Europeans were fighting with jihadist groups in Syria….

“The more Islam changes, the more it stays the same,” as the French might say.
Seven clowns!

Those who convert to Islam, are often more vile than the ones born and raised a muslim. m

Yes, it is funny how Islam attracts sociopaths and gullible people in any given society. So the extremely masochist and the extremely sadistic find a good place to live their personal dramas.
Daniel Triplett says
The women are the ones who really perplex me. Why would any woman not born a Muslim want to convert to Islam? Pure insanity.
abad says
I’m a woman, and as perplexed as you are….I can only guess that the white American women who do convert to Islam have zero-self esteem, and Islam gives them some sort of second-hand esteem. What those poor things need is a shrink for their problems, not Islam.
Peggy says
Because they are so very damaged.

It’s interesting that certain governments are using the name Daesh instead of the Islamic State, ISIS or ISIL.
‘Daesh’ adopted as new name for ISIS by U.S., France
New label meant to rebrand group as militant extremists, not a ‘state’

PHASE 1 — the ‘peaceful’ phase
— “WOW this Islam stuff is so addictive and exciting; I feel so extra special having my own prayer mat and a brand new Islamic man-dress to wear at the local mosque while washing before prayer.”
PHASE 2 the endorphin rush wears off
— The sinking realization of the vast emptiness and clinging filth of Islam begins to creep in as yet another Muzzie dogma junkie discovers he can no longer get off on pretense and run from what is he lacks within.
PHASE 3 Beheadings, Sex Slaves, and suicide
It is already much too late to escape because he has long ago died. (on the inside)

They are homicide-suicide attacks, more accurately, killing themselves is incidental to the point: killing the disbelievers/hypocrites and dying while doing so. Of course, it is not considered suicide at all by the jihadists or it would be haram. Moreover, the emphasis on the “suicide” (because those who love death more than life is still startling) puts the attention more on the perp instead of on the targeted victims where it should be. The article never mentions how many they murdered in killing themselves.
That this arrangement with Allah comes from the Qur’an (9:111) and that the highest rung in Paradise is only assured through the blood of Infidels is proof enough how peaceful Islam is. But Islam has nothing to do with Islam, everyone who is anyone says so.
Westman says
Indoctrination is the key to exploitation of the Ummah.
Could it be that a mistakes were made in the black sites and Guantanamo to use noisy music to annoy inmates and allowing religious materials and praying?
They could have forbidden all religious observance and been playing, “Allah is not great and Muhammad was a murderer” (and the like), in Arabic, 24/7.
Instead, the prisoners were given Qurans and prayer rugs to continue their indoctrination and preparation for their return to spreading Islam by conquest.
Stockholm Syndrome is used by Islam, but the West won’t fight indoctrination with indoctrination.
Walter Sieruk says
As for the folly and madness of such actions as suicide/homicide attacks,this is a good time to reiterate that such insane behavior are, many times , the result of Muslim male who ,very much , believes in the nonsensical and outlandish Islam doctrine from the Koran[44:54. 55:56.78:31]of a paradise with many virgins in it for the male Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam. This bizarre, odd and strange Koranic doctrine of a place with virgins has inspired much murder and mayhem. In other words , this far-fetched and weird doctrine of the Koran has caused Muslim man to commit a lot of murderous chaos.
As the French philosopher, Voltaire, wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”
Peggy says
I have never understood why Muslim men want virgins precisely. Could it be that they fear they may not measure up if she tried someone before him?
That also might explain why they seek children too. They are useless bastards who are afraid of any challenge.
Nimrod says
Mohammed acted exactly like ISIS/daesh or whatever you want to call it is acting now. Beheadings, murders, rapes, enslavement, pedophilia, genocide based on religion, etc. The Quran and Hadith contain all of this.
Muslims believe Mohammed is the most morally perfect individual and the more you imitate his actions the more devout and Muslim you are.
The more devout and Muslim you are, the more criminal you are.
What else do people really need to know?
