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

France: Memorial for Jew murdered by Qur’an-quoting Muslims smashed

May 3, 2015 1:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Ilan Halimi plaque smashedThe Wall Street Journal reported in 2006 that Halimi was found “stumbling in a field near the railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris. Handcuffed, naked, with four-fifths of his body covered with bruises, stab wounds and serious burns, Ilan died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Soon after, police provided more details. The victim had been kidnapped Jan. 20 and held for 24 days by a gang from the banlieues, the poor suburban projects that ring the French capital, who eluded capture while repeatedly contacting Ilan’s family with ransom demands….Ilan’s uncle Rafi Halimi told reporters that the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Quran, while Ilan’s tortured screams could be heard in the background.”

At his trial, Fofana smirked at Halimi’s relatives and shouted, “Allahu akbar!”

“Outrage as Memorial for Murdered Jew Ilan Halimi Smashed,” by Ari Soffer, Arutz Sheva, May 3, 2015:

The mayor of a Paris suburb has voiced his outrage after memorial plaque honoring Ilan Halimi – a young Jewish man tortured to death by a Muslim gang in 2006 – was desecrated by unidentified vandals.

The glass-and-stone plaque was found smashed at 18:00 on Saturday evening in Bagneux, a southern suburb of the French capital, according to Le Figaro, and has since been removed for repairs.

Bagneux mayor Marie-Hélène Amiable described the vandalism as “outrageous, unacceptable, I am extremely shocked.”

Ilan Halimi, a Jewish cellphone salesman, was kidnapped in Bagneux on 21 January 2006 by an anti-Semitic Muslim gang calling itself “The Barbarians,” after being lured by a 17-year-old female gang member into what turned out to be a honeypot trap.

He was held for 24 days in an apartment building, where, bound and with his head covered entirely in duct tape apart from a small gap for his mouth, he was subjected to a horrifying ordeal of beatings and torture, while gang members attempted to extract a 450,000 Euro ransom from his family.

Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and tied to a tree three weeks after his capture, but died from his wounds on the way to hospital.

More than 80% of his body had been burned with acid and gasoline.

The brutal murder triggered widespread fears over rising levels of violent anti-Semitism and extremism emanating from France’s large Muslim community – fears which only continued to grow after several other deadly attacks against Jews by Muslims in the subsequent years….

    Politically correct assumptions that no antisemitism was involved, hampered police investigation for weeks. Also, the family was told to not mention anything of the kidnapping of their son to the press, probably to keep a lid on accusations of the French equivalent of “racism”. Again, the result was to hamper any public assistance the police might have gotten.

    As with the Charlie Hebdo murders, there was a faux “demonstration” against the murder, where Muslims joined in “protest” against the vicious torture and killing done by a sociopathic African Muslim gang. There is no information on whether the Muslim organizations agreed that police needed more information on Islamic antisemitism and other jihadist concepts.

    These are the creatures that 204 PEN signatories consider “marginalized, embattled, and victimized,”

    https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/04/30/145-pen-writers-thus-far-objected-charlie-hedbo-award-6/

    and that the cartoonist Garry Trudeau considers “a powerless, disenfranchised minority.”

    So “marginalized” and “powerless” are they that their traditional enemies, the Jews, dare not even walk the streets in France while displaying any visual evidence of their faith:

    Also, a report by Wall Street Journal reporter Nidra Poller (who has lived in France for years, by the way) indicated that Muslim friends and neighbors took part in the protracted torture of Halimi that led to his death.

    For extended quotes from her article, see what I posted here about a year ago (yet another example of how “voegelinian never posts anything worthwhile” as various childish detractors of mine routinely allege here, eh?…):

    I already feel the pain. I heard this story before it is very sad story and also smashing his memorial is also sad, I think the jihadi radical groups have found fertile ground to grow in France, The French government should kick all this radicals and their religion education out of their country.

    I wish France would make a donation to the IDF in response to this. That would put an end to these senseless acts pretty quickly I imagine.

      That would be an excellent idea.

      Further thought: in consultation with Mossad, the monument – when restored – could be carefully and cleverly **boobytrapped** in such a way as to ensure a sudden and very, very unpleasant experience for any person who attempted to physically vandalise it.

      Use it as *bait*. (The same applies to other visibly and significantly Jewish items and installations; use them as bases for sting ops and stakeouts, and swift and severe punishment for any mohammedan mobsters who take the bait. By now, we all *know* that anything and anyone visibly Jewish, in France and a number of other countries within the West, is highly likely to be a target of Muslim aggression; so…proffer the bait and then …spring the trap. Process the ‘catch’ – one or more mohammedan mobsters – with resultant – as ‘leads’ are followed up – multiple trials, deportations, mosque closures and demolitions. Rinse and repeat.)

    Muslims have no god and no shame either just like Muhammad.

    Muslims are shameless.

    Muslims claim to respect the dead.
    But, where is the indignation by Muslims?
    Yet if non-Muslims did the same thing at Muhammad’s place of burial, Muslims would probably get a bad attitude about that.

    go figure that

    In perfect agreement with the commands of the Satanic Fake Prophet recorded in the Qur’an and the Hadith.

    Close all mosques.
    Burn the Qur’an and Hadith.

    Deport all Muslims who are not prepared to irrevocably renounce
    Islamic gnocidal Jihad.

    Execute all those who remain and are found to still support,
    aid, advocate, preach or defend the Islamic Jihadist genocidal agenda.

    Dear Precious Ilan Halimi: The police did not inform the public about your abduction; preventing an alerted public from helping locate you. Preventing millions around the world praying for you.

    Apparently, the police did not trace the phone calls and e-mails your captors made to your family-it was reported in the communications, your captors referred repeatedly to your Judaism, and recited verses from the Koran as you screamed in agony.

    Dear Ilan, you will never experience the undying love of a wife, the young woman who would have been your life-long partner…

    You will never know the children you would have had – come running towards you with out flung arms, “Abba, daddy, I picked these flowers just for you!”

    You were going to make aliyah, for G-D said in the Bible, Ezekiel 36:28: “You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers.”

    Jews gave the world so much: Civilization – knowledge of the One true G-D, the Bible, G-D’s laws that protect!

    And huge numbers of discoveries in medicine, science and agriculture, etc. way beyond the Jews’ small numbers upon this earth! A fulfillment of G-D’s Biblical promise…

    PRECIOUS Ilan, We Will NEVER FORGET YOU!
    The Biblical promise, that through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, all the nations would be blessed!

    Ilan, a light went out in the world when you left it! G-D promised in the Bible, a future world where the violent, evil ones will never again hurt another human being. We will see you, then, Ilan.

    Until then, precious Ilan, we will never forget you.
