Court quashes Muslim mother’s bid to sue France for letting son join jihad

Jun 23, 2015 2:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Samia MaktoufShe did not sue the local mosque. She did not sue the people who told her son that killing Infidels would please Allah. She instead sued the French government, which she would have doubtless accused of “Islamophobia” if it had undertaken to do anything effective to prevent her son from joining the jihad. For Islamic supremacists, anything that goes wrong is always someone else’s fault — even more so if that someone else is an Infidel.

“Court quashes mum’s bid to sue France for letting son join jihad,” Agence France Presse, June 23, 2015:

PARIS: A French court Tuesday threw out a case brought by a mother trying to sue the government for failing to stop her teenage son from leaving to join jihadis in Syria.

The boy was 16 when he left with three others from the town of Nice in southern France in December 2013, taking a plane to Turkey and then traveling overland to Syria.

His mother argued airport police in Nice should have stopped the boy because he had only a one-way ticket and no baggage.

But the court ruled that the airport officers had no case to answer and turned down a demand for 110,000 euros ($125,000) in compensation.

The mother said Turkey was known as an entry point to Syria, but the court found that “these circumstances are not enough to demonstrate the police service was at fault.”

The boy, who was not on any police watch list nor barred from leaving France, “fulfilled the legal conditions to leave the territory for the destination of Turkey,” the court added.

Since January 2013, parents have been able to apply to stop their children leaving the country if they are minors, which the mother did not do.

France has confiscated the passports and identity cards of 60 people under new counter-terrorism powers approved earlier this year to stop people joining jihadi groups abroad, with another 50 cases under consideration….

    Willie Sutton famously said when asked why he robbed banks, “Because that’s where the money is.” So the French Gubmint is where the money is, the taxpayer’s money, the best kind of all. Trouble is, the French Gubmint has been in hands of socialists and globalists for several decades now, so even if they wanted to pay this litigious Moslima her dough, and they probably do, they are pretty much tapped out at this point.

      No you haven’t, I was talking to a British lady the other day and we were discussing the state of the world. I explained my concerns about Islam and the koran and she stated THE KORAN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM.
      I had no idea how to answer such a stupid statement!

      • TheBuffster says

        Jun 24, 2015 at 1:08 pm

        I don’t suppose the British lady explained what she meant by that bizarre statement?

        I’d love to hear her explain that.

    Why doesn’t the stupid woman sue herself for being an unfit mother?

    Why don’t all criminals sue the police for not stopping them commit crime?

    Always someone else’s fault, isn’t it?

    But the court ruled that the airport officers had no case to answer and turned down a demand for 110,000 euros ($125,000) in compensation.

    Common sense prevailed.

    The mother said Turkey was known as an entry point to Syria, but the court found that “these circumstances are not enough to demonstrate the police service was at fault.”

    What a pickle: if the police tries to prod muslims on why they’re going to Turkey or Syria, it’s “harassment”, if the police does nothing the they’re blamed for not acting.

    Islam’s Muslims – Incessantly Whining and Playing the “Victim Card” – Blaming everyone and everything (now France), for their OWN Ignorance, Stupidity, and their “Death to the Infidel” 7th Century Bloody, Butchering Mentality.

    Hummm – “Blaming everyone and everything for their failures” – sounds sort of like America’s “Imperial Potus”, Barack Hussein Obama.

    Actually, the whole case makes me very happy. The French court threw the case out on the grounds that even if the allegations were true, there was no case. It is the responsibility of the courts to filter out the nuisance suits before they require expensive legal action. Otherwise, organizations can benefit from filing frivolous suits. The organizations like SPLC have lawyers sitting around with time and money on their hands, but the people they sue stand to lose hefty legal expenses, if nothing else.

    The US courts need to take a page from this. Frivolous lawsuits should be terminated with prejudice, and the plaintiffs forced to pay legal expenses of the defendants. Perhaps this remedy should be reserved for only those lawsuits where there is no legal case even if the reasonable assertions by the plaintiffs are true. Otherwise, there is an unreasonable bar on reasonable lawsuits.

    I have a question-not mentioned in the article or the prior comments.

    (Disclosure: I have no idea how much an airplane ticket, one way, from France to Turkey cost in Dec 2013 or in June 2015. Nor, do i really care).

    BUT, HOW DOES A 16 YEAR OLD, ( and I am assuming that the others were about the same age) have the money fro an airline ticket?

    • miriamrove says

      Jun 23, 2015 at 4:30 pm

      Most likely not a lot somewhere in the neighborhood of $140.00 to $150.00. But here is the main issue:

      Muslims never take responsibility for their actions. it is always the fault of others, they are always the victims, if not the fault of the jews, then it is their government who should have been looking out for them. m

    I wonder if this was all a ploy so that the mother could collect the money, then send it to her son periodically to live on?? I’m glad it was thrown out, but it worries me that more frivolous lawsuits might get through, especially the U. S. system. So many of these types of lawsuits get through our system everyday!! It’s so frustrating! The people who are collecting welfare, etc are usually the people suing to get more money! If they are truly legit lawsuits, then I would understand!

    I work so hard for what I have, just to give 40% to people that are committing fraud. This is how I feel….if you have a job, then you should vote conservative only!!!

      I agree. I suspect she had some reason for trying to get such a large handout. More than her usual dole. Support Jihad any way you can….finance-Jihad. It’s just another reminder of the weakness of the West that Muslims believe they can ride rough-shod over us just as they please.

    France should be offering FREE tickets to any jihadist that wants to leave europe.
    Better they go elsewhere, safer for non-muslims to have them far away rather than walking around paris wanting to martyr themselves.

    How many times has this sort of thing happened around ther world? It’s quite pathetic, of course, but it does raise one very interesting point. If these muslims ever win any of these whingeing cases it would mean that the ultimate responsibility for child care would have shifted from the parent to the State; and therefore reducing the rights of the parent over the child. So muslim parents would no longer have any absolute right to dictate their childrens’ upbringing. Bearing in mind the current dictatorial attitudes of muslims towards their offspring (especially daughters) would not that really open a can of worms? Have these muslims thought this through before they started victim-complex rubbish?

    • Linde Barrera says

      Jun 24, 2015 at 8:26 pm

      To Jayell- You make a very good point about “Muslims and thinking it through with the victim rubbish.” The thing that struck me was, why didn’t this mom insist, being that her son was only 16, that he finish school first? In my opinion, her attitude was like: “Here’s your hat. What’s your hurry?” Very fishy.

    The son made a decision and the responsibility remains there. The mother should remind herself that her son was a threat to the people of France and the country is a little more secure without him.

    That is absolutely ridiculous. I’m glad the case was thrown out. What a waste of time and money for the people of France.

    Vive La France!

    Good for the French judge.

    But what’s the betting the sobbing UK mohammedans will sue the government, and the police, and win ? I sincerely hope *not*, but at this point, it just wouldn’t surprise me.
