“The person arrested was allegedly carrying a flag of the Islamic State and he said he was a member of the IS.” The Islamic State has, of course, declared that it would be carrying out jihad attacks in the West, and has called for attacks in particular against the “spiteful and filthy French.” It has even issued a detailed manual explaining to Muslims how they could succeed in carrying out such attacks in Western countries. This is just a harbinger of things to come.
The Air Products company must have “provoked” the jihadis in some way, no?
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Man ‘Beheaded As Islamist Flag Found’ In France,” Sky News, June 26, 2015:
A man has been decapitated after an attacker brandishing an Islamist flag raided a French factory in Grenoble, according to reports.
There are also reports of a loud explosion at the factory and several other victims.
The decapitated head had Arabic writing scrawled across it and was found on a fence next to an Islamist flag, a French legal source said.
Other sources said at least one arrest had been made, though there are also reports of two attackers, both carrying Islamist flags.
Le Parisien newspaper reported that shots had been fired and one Islamist had been killed.
Other reports said that at least two men rammed the factory in a car before entering and setting off several small explosive devices.
“According to the initial findings of the enquiry, one or several individuals on board a vehicle, drove into the factory. An explosion then took place,” said one legal source.
Employees at the factory – Air Products – are said to be “very shocked”.
Henry Samuel, a correspondent fro the Daily Telegraph, told Sky News: “The person arrested was allegedly carrying a flag of the Islamic State and he said he was a member of the IS.
“There are several people wounded.”
The attack came nearly six months after the Islamist attacks in and around Paris that killed 17 people in January….
Angemon says
Let me try to guess the official explanation of the French authorities: a sudden bout of mental insanity that had nothing to do with islam.
Firebug says
Definitely nothing to do with Islam.
What do you mean they carried IS flags? Is has nothing to do with Islam.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Celtic says
The idiot Valls will probably make a statement calling the French population to “reason” and repeat the mantra that this violence has nothing to do with Islam.
Whatever will be the statement: Betting agencies certainly would not be ready to give you a quote of 1.001 if you’d bet that the phrase “Has nothing to do with Islam” will be mentioned in some way or another.
On the other hand, if you’d bet that Valls will declare the Jihad-attacks as linked with Mohammed himself, you’d no longer have to work anymore – the Quote probably would be about 10’000’000.
Rob says
Yeah and French citizens will be warned against any backlash against Muslims.
Angemon says
Apparently, François Hollande confirmed it was a terrorist attack. Good.
Atikva says
No, not good at all. The French president uttering a truth too obvious to be hidden will not mask the fact that France, invaded and conquered by the islamo-socialists, is no more.
In 1973, the non-elected politicians of the EU led by France very discreetly struck a fools bargain with Mediterranean muslim countries: gas and security in exchange for their best endeavors to help the Arabs destroy Israel and the islamisation of Europe. They called this new plan “Eurabia”. Naturally, it was couched in much more diplomatic words, e.g. “… the European Governments and politicians MUST prevent their media from denigrating muslims. They MUST reaffirm their confidence in the Euro-Arab friendship and the respect they feel for the many centuries of Arab contribution to the world civilization.” (Eurabia review # 2, July 1975). Hundreds of this kind of instructions in the same vein have been issued by the EU to its members for the next 40 years, harping on the Palestinian myth and fed by pallywood.
On the French people already pumped full of communist fallacies since the early 50s, this new brainwashing had a deleterious effect. They have swallowed each and every dogma they have been fed with, no matter how ridiculous or improbable. They got gas, alright, but they lost their country in the bargain. And Israel is still alive and kicking.
PRCS says
Referring to these events as being committed by “extremists” and “radicals” and the ever popular “radical Islamists”–as though that is a valid distinction, is what fools and liars resort to.
They are jihadists. Not Muslim jihadists; just jihadists. True believers. Literalists.
It’s terrifying, yes. But it’s not merely terror.
It is jihad and they are jihadists.
When will western leaders and journalists start calling it what it is?

This big news of a terrorist attack, possible “Arabic”, in France comes on the same day as a decision made by the Supreme Court about same sex marriage. Legal in all states….so Obama will be in the spotlight, good coordination. Next decision religious slander laws will go to the Supreme Court.?…Then things will get dicey.
Always On Watch says
During Ramadan, too.
Special virgins earned?
Atikva says
The killings always increase during ramadan.
Veracious_one says
more so on Fridays
WhatsUpDoc says
During Ramadan its a no brainer. In this month doors to hell are closed and doors to heaven are open. Weather you are killed by a fellow Muslim or kill a Muslim its diret route to heaven by-passing judgement day
Indian says
It is definitely an Islamic terrorist attack. France is under threat, more Muslims more threat. May be even Muslims in France want their own country like Muslims did in India. Be ready for civil war in France. Be ready for the rampage of Muslims. Hope every non Muslim could learn a lesson from France fate.
PRCS says
“an Islamic terrorist attack”?
It’s time to call it what it is: Jihad; carried out by jihadists.
Dajjal says
Call it exactly what it is: Islam, performed by Muslims. Jihad is what Islam is; what Believers do.
Indian says
Gift from Muslims in Ramadan for people of France. Face it France face it face this cruel wolf Islam because of your fault. You allowed millions of Muslims into you and you get this.
Celtic says
So true @Indian
The Frech were fools to allow millions come to their country. It’s time they face facts and kick out massive amounts of Muslims.
This of course would not work without the military, since the south of France has a huge muslim population.
wildjew says
“It’s time they face facts and kick out massive amounts of Muslims….”
But they won’t. Neither will the U.S. before it is too late.

Exactly.
We will just remain spectators, respecting Islam, and thus, adjust as needed to our fence post being likewise “adorned.”
ECAW says
Sadly, these atrocities are the only things that stand a chance of waking us up. Perhaps it will take one at the end of everyone’s road to do it, and even then we might prefer, as a civilisation, to die in our sleep.
What on earth will our grandchildren say about us?
wildjew says
Here is the reaction in the minds of most Americans to the news this morning. It is just a “quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing…”
Huck Folder says
Only the older or more educated younger readers here, will recognize Chamberlain’s sell-out of Czechoslovakia. Unfortunately, a large portion of the British population ‘pacifist unto death, as a result of WWI and socialist indoctrination would have been difficult to move forward to block Germany re-arming, or to re-arm themselves, even if Churchill had been PM.
Reading a Churchill history of that time is so goddamned depressing. The NUMEROUS sell-outs and duplicity of not only Britain and France, but even later, Poland’s leader, General Beck, led to their downfall, all but Britain.
They all got to experience their exceedingly bitter comeuppance, but have not learned their history. THAT is what should be taught, instead of “islam means ‘peace” CRAP. But then they might put two and two together.
Also, there appears to be NO voting alternative. UKIP was equivocal and its 4 million votes got it nowhere. Proportional representation might turn out to be a nightmare, if the worshipers of mo were guaranteed ~36-40 seats. just think of the trouble they could cause.
Artie says
“Employees at the factory – Air Products – are said to be “very shocked” I am “shocked” that anybody is still shocked by any Islamic attack. Do these people live in a news bubble? Apparently they do. A self imposed bubble. Pathetic. How many attacks have to happen and how many innocent people must die before people “wake the hell up”.
wildjew says
Lots of sensitivity out there:
Our regional radio talk show host did not (or could not) use the “M” word or the “I” word when describing this event this morning..
The morning after the Ft. Hood shooting, there were so many angry calls talking about Islam, etc., the host urged on by the co-host decided to stop taking calls on the subject.
pongidae rex says
It does no good to say we are not at war with Islam when Islam is at war with us. To refuse to acknowledge that someone is at war with you, when they are in fact, is unconditional surrender.

Of course, David Cameron does not say Islam is at war with us.
But then, no-one believes what he says any more.

Bombing of Shia mosque in Kuwait City as well. Is this the day the caliphate was declared/Mosul overrun?
tilda says
Don’t know — have been trying to figure out if 26 June has any special significance.
Cecilia Ellis says
Did some checking around the internet for that answer – a frustrating search for a needle in a colossal stack of needles. So many Islamic events – someone was born, someone died, someone murdered thousands, someone took the captives “at their right hand,” someone drank from a well, someone thought about drinking from a well, someone told someone about thinking about drinking from a well – all to no avail. Then, during an extraordinary moment of exhaustion, it registered that I should forget the Gregorian calendar and, instead, consider the Islamic calendar – which ISIS would most assuredly adopt as its own. I commenced another search, this time looking for the 8th day of Ramadan, which, due to Islam’s use of the a lunar caldendar, occurs this year on June 26th.
Here is what I found:
“On the 8th of Ramadan, another crucial event took place. Mecca was conquered, which marked the ending of Shirk in the Arabian Peninsula and the purification of Al-Ka’bah from the idols. Over 360 idols around Al-Ka’bah were destroyed by Rasul Allah and his companions.”
http://muslimmatters.org/2014/06/26/change-yourself-in-ramadan/
Whether or not this occasion was selected by ISIS for the attacks today may not be answered . . . until the next issue of “Dabiq” parades its brutal testament to the deeds of Muhammad. But it does cause us to consider that possibility, as we are all guilty of shirk because we reject Allah/Muhammad, and that is the unpardonable sin, to reject the “Best of Deceivers.”
Hope this helps, “tilda.”
tilda says
Thank you Cecilia Ellis.
Have now seen a few news sources online saying that the attacks are marking Daesh’s first year as a [self-proclaimed] caliphate.
Also stumbled over an interesting article in ibtimes from (10th June) which forecast an upsurge in attacks during Ramadan, and actually suggested some possible targets / objectives.

Concerned Citizen says
Guys, we need to do something NOW!!! We all need to contact our senators about our disgusts and what we won’t tolerate, we all need to vote conservatively in the 2016 election, picket at our local government offices to stop immigration, etc! We have to stop this and let everyone know that it’s our rules, our laws, etc that you WILL follow or get the hell out of our country!!! Can we try at the the very least? Thanks!
Dajjal says
Act before the primaries. Ask your legislator and your favorite candidates to condemn Islam. tell them why: http://islamexposed.blogspot.com/p/islam-101-for-politicians.html
and, vote for someone who will.
Vote against Islamophiles in the primaries or you will have no choices in the general election.

May God help France and its non-Muslim inhabitants. France….please hurry and elect Marine Le Pen as your next president….she has the cojones to face the beastly ideology known as Islam.
Nana S says
The Western civilization and its collective peoples need not to wonder any longer if Islam is a religion or a totalitarian ideology. No religion known to civilized society commits murder and heinous crimes during its religious holidays/seasons. Islam needs to be obliterated completely, as it is a cancer to all humans who come in contact with it and its followers.

ALLAH IS THE ENEMY

KILL the unbelievers wherever you find them. 9:5

the ironi of it is that French helped hitler getting rid of it’s Jews and now look at French, with millions of muslims wanting to take over
Deus Vorte says
Remember the invasion of Islam that failed during the war in vienna. they still crave the whole world into Islamic caliphate. Europe too lenient with immigrants from the Middle East Islamic religion. throughout Europe in the near future will be like the middle east. freedom taken away and you will be a servant of the god of Islam. I live in Indonesia, feel how real Islam. they just put a mask that looks peaceful Islam.
Richie says
If there was any sanity left in Europe, immigration from Islamic countries would end today- any Muslim advocating violence would be deported and banned from ever reentering Europe, and Muslims who kill should be destroyed like rabid dogs.
My prediction is once Turkey is admitted into the EU, its game over. Sharia Law will be enforced everywhere, and millions of Muslims will flood into Europe, with the law on their side
somehistory says
According to George above : “French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has ordered that security be stepped up at sensitive sites around Lyon.”
An Air Products company….would this have been considered *sensitive* or would it have been a *likely* target if France had been expecting another attack?
The authorities cannot possible increase security at every company, every place where people work, shop, eat, etc. When muslims decide to attack every day places of business, only they have a clue as to where they will strike next.
Did the man who was decapitated have an initial contact in some way with the guilty guys? A lot of questions. How many answers remains to be seen. But these murderers never take a day off. Guess they get paid overtime from all of the ransom and extortion payments. And drug dealing, and oil sales, and sales from stolen art and antiques.
What a grand day it will be when the word islam and its odious, murdering, child raper, thief…are gone and forgotten.
John says
It’s only a matter of time now, this is happening on far too large of a scale on far too common of a basis. When the hell do you hear of Buddhists blowing the crap out of people because of religious reasons, more and more people are beginning to realize though. I do feel sorry for the innocent muslims that have been brainwashed into thinking this is a peaceful ideology but it’s really not. See the barbaric religious killing of animals that is halal, Good job Denmark for banning it. See the way they treat women, even the best muslim that I know who was a really nice guy was forced to marry his wife. He always mentioned how he wish he could have married someone with red hair and white skin but because of his family he never dared try.
These majority of these people can’t fit into a western system, they don’t try to integrate instead sticking only with what the have to do by law and keeping within their on sociable comfort zone. This causes segregation and problems, problems that they blame on us. We tried to accommodate them, we let them build mosques in our countries, we let them wear burqa’s in situations nobody in this country would be allowed to wear face cover. Really I’m not saying their culture is bad it’s just too far opposite our own. We are a sociable alcohol drinking, don’t take things too serious type of people. Who generally care about animals and social rights and freedom of speech. How the hell do we expect to get on with such people? They are the exact opposite in almost every way.
dlbrand says
And that is all the easily gullible crowd of the Islamaphobies need.
Thus, once again, the Islamaphobies, out of the blue, with little if any at all sound reasons for their reasoning, conclude; here again, this incident comes from that on the pages of the Islamic “sacred texts”; there, because of the envy, the murder, the darkness that permeated the heart, mind and soul of the man, Islam claims as its prophet. And thus the same does the same in the hearts of the followers of that man and his traditions.
