France: Muslim who placed severed head between Islamic flags denies jihad motive

Jun 30, 2015 1:25 pm By Robert Spencer

France Air Products“The severed head of his boss was found hanging on the fence of a site belonging to U.S-based gas and chemicals company Air Products, next to flags bearing professions of the Muslim faith. Examination of one of Salhi’s phones revealed he had taken a picture of himself with the severed head before his arrest and sent the image to a number belonging to a French national last traced to the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa in Syria.” But had no jihad motivation. As Muhammad said, “War is deceit”!

“French Beheading Suspect Denies Jihad Motivation,” Reuters, June 29, 2015:

The man being held in France under suspicion of beheading his boss and trying to blow up a chemicals plant has told investigators there was no religious motivation behind the attack, a source close to the inquiry said on Monday.

The source said Yassin Salhi, 35, told investigators he was not a jihadist and repeated earlier statements that he committed the act outside the southeast city of Lyon on Friday after a row with his wife the day before and his boss a few days earlier.

Salhi, who was arrested on the scene of the crime on Friday, can be held for a maximum 96 hours under French law before being charged or released.

The severed head of his boss was found hanging on the fence of a site belonging to U.S-based gas and chemicals company Air Products, next to flags bearing professions of the Muslim faith.

Examination of one of Salhi’s phones revealed he had taken a picture of himself with the severed head before his arrest and sent the image to a number belonging to a French national last traced to the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa in Syria….

French authorities say Salhi frequented Islamic radicals and was filed between 2006 and 2008 as being at risk of becoming radicalized, but he had a clean criminal record and did not show signs of preparing any attacks….

    Why should he acknowledge it was an act of jihad? That would only raise more inconvenient questions – who he contacted with, when, how long the contacts have been going on, how were the contacts done, were there more jihadis he knew of, etc.

    Deceit: the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth.

    One would expect more sophistication than Yassin Salhi has displayed. His denial seems to be the equivalent of, “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”.

    And where do notions about cutting off a boss’ head arise? Watching the movie, “9 to 5”?

    And were those Islamic flags all he find, acting like a string of pennants flapping in the breeze, to draw attention to the central figure?

    Alas, poor misunderstood Islamic Moron Terrorist Yassin Salhi, we did not know him well.

    What is surprising is that 1400 years after the start of this criminal mafia religion, it is still surviving in this days and age. The West has lost its moral compass altogether and they are just like the Muslims by not opposing them. They are afraid of Muslims because of increasing Muslim population in their own countries and yet they don’t take any steps to curb it. If only crusades had totally succeeded we wouldn’t be in such a pickle. What a shame!!

      A liar and a coward.
      Why are we not surprised?
      The apologists keep believing the lies and conceding more and more, until…. one day what we’ve been saying for many years will come to pass and it will be far too late.

    Say’s he hacked off his bosses head (jihad-style), then sent a pic of it to an ISIS supporter……must be work-place violence.

    ”The source said Yassin Salhi, 35, told investigators he was not a jihadist and repeated earlier statements that he committed the act outside the southeast city of Lyon on Friday after a row with his wife the day before and his boss a few days earlier”

    You see, they’ve got this down pat, now. They know the dhimmi fools *will* believe this, ( a sudden mental aberration because he’s having a hard time in his life), and they *won’t* believe it’s jihad, even with the evidence of the severed head, the islamic material, and the fact he sent the picture off to Syria.

    I bet he gets off.

    The beheading was an unfortunate accident from a worker who simply tried to get a-head in business.

    Hey let’s not jump to any Islamophobic conclusions here!

    Islam is certainly a religion of piece….a severed head is a good piece. !! Miserable idiot.

    Time for the political correctness to end that gives Muslims credit for any decency or good motives. They are conspirators working to destroy our Western civilization. They hate us and want to destroy us.

    We should not have any of these conspirators living in free, democratic countries. It’s asking for trouble.

    No matter what he says, he has zero credibility…The evidence points to Islam…it always does.

    Radical Islam IS ISLAM. There you have it, if it looks like a terrorist, acts like a terrorist, sounds like a terrorist and reads like one….guess what? You have a terrorist.

    These people are great at hating and violence, their heads are so far off and energy so low that science, rationalism and peace are seen as signs of weakness.

    No place in the 21st century or the 20th or 19th or on and on…..
