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

France: Leader of group founded to counter “anti-Muslim feelings” gets 9 years for plotting jihad attacks against Jews

Jul 11, 2015 12:53 pm By Robert Spencer

Mohamed Achamlane“During the trial, Achamlane, 37, said he created Forsane Alizza in 2010 to counter growing anti-Muslim feelings in France and claimed a desire to ‘channel the energy’ of young Muslims and lead them away from violence.”

Here is the clearest indication yet that the entire “Islamophobia” scam is exactly what I have maintained it to be for years: an attempt to discredit resistance to jihad terror so that jihad terror can advance unimpeded and unopposed. What next? Will U.S. anti-“Islamophobia” campaigner Reza Aslan likewise forgo the indirect method and strap on a bomb vest?

Meanwhile, the AP headline identifies Achamlane as a “Frenchman.” Yet Achamlane himself would almost certainly reject the designation, as he rejects and hates everything that France is and stands for, and indeed, the very idea of nationality itself. But AP, like the rest of the mainstream media, is intent on muddling simple and obvious truths and making people doubt them, and so for them, geography is enough: Achamlane is in France, he must be a Frenchman, just as Hitler was a Frenchman when he strolled through Paris in 1940.

“Frenchman sentenced to 9 years for jihad recruiting, plotting attacks against Jewish sites,” by Philippe Sotto, The Associated Press, July 10, 2015:

PARIS — The chief of a dismantled French radical network was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison for recruiting for jihad, plotting attacks against Jewish targets and praising terrorism. The relatively severe verdict comes as France is trying to prevent extremist violence by angry, marginalized Muslims.

A Paris court convicted Mohamed Achamlane, self-proclaimed “emir” of the Forsane Alizza (Knights of Pride) group, of terrorism charges. The French citizen was accused of plotting attacks, including targeting kosher markets and other Jewish businesses in Paris, abducting and torturing a Jewish judge in Lyon and threatening France, according to court documents….

The verdict came six months after attacks on a kosher supermarket and satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which left 20 people dead including the three radical Muslim gunmen. It also came two weeks after the beheading of a businessman in eastern France that authorities have blamed on a former delivery driver, Yassin Salhi, who allegedly had links to Forsane Alizza.

During the trial, Achamlane, 37, said he created Forsane Alizza in 2010 to counter growing anti-Muslim feelings in France and claimed a desire to “channel the energy” of young Muslims and lead them away from violence.

Achamlane, 37, testified that he favoured an “uninhibited” Islam but denied any violent intent or “terrorist inspiration.”

“I am the emir of a group that is considered Islamist and I do not hide anything,” Achamlane said.

The group was dissolved in 2012 and its suspected members were arrested because authorities feared they were ready to carry out violent acts….

She noted a number of Internet chats, including one in which Achamlane praised Mohamed Merah, who killed three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school in Toulouse as well as three French paratroopers before being killed by police. According to court documents, he had called the attack “a blessing of Allah.”

The court cited another chat in which he said: “We are going to inflict scars to France… We’re going to slash up France.” In another, he compared himself with Osama bin Laden, according to court documents.

Investigators pointed to a “declaration of war” against France in video and text posted on Forsane Alizza’s Web site. It issued an ultimatum to France to withdraw its troops from Muslim territories and scrap a law banning face-covering veils worn by some Muslim women.

On the group’s computer hard drives and memory sticks, investigators found a copy of “The Terrorist’s Handbook” and a file labeled “targets” in which a dozen Jewish businesses were listed. Achamlane had also stored personal information on policemen, lawmakers and magistrates.

    We should all memorize those words and speak them and write them to 100 people.

        The Buddhists in Thailand and ( what was) Burma are fighting back against Muslims.

        Compare that to the US and Britain and most of Europe–where the leaders and “intelligentsia” and ivory tower geniuses are falling over themselves to kiss Muslim asses.

          You are right. The Buddhists are fighting back in Thailand and Myanmar.

          Western leaders are caving to barbarism. Who could have predicted that the West would be forelock-pulling to Muslims and Islam in the 21st century?

    The ‘Islamophobia’ slander is a brainless, burden-shifting distraction. Muslims are unable to prove their claim that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’, so they distract by slandering the little boy who cries ‘The emperor has no clothes on.’ The Islamophobia scam is a political divide-and-rule strategy.

    Leftist politicians take up the ‘Islamophobia’ slur to discredit their political foes and corner the ‘oppressed’ vote in order to make minorities think they are the more broad-minded candidate.

    ‘Islamophobia’ has thus degenerated from the gutter where it was hatched down into the sewer where it lives. Meanwhile by dividing the West’s left and right politicians, jihad (subjugation) moves up the middle.

    There are small signs that the Left is close to discovering what most people have learned: That Islam is an intolerant religion of violence, conquest and subjugation.

    However, the Left continues to search for a mythical ‘GOOD, PEACEFUL’ version of Sunnite Islam…there isn’t one and they will eventually realize it, just as 80% of Americans and Brits have realized it.

      A fighting-back video by George Garbow takes the term Islamophobia and uses it against the Islamic lobby, showing a succession of appalling Islamic acts which everyone can rightly deplore.

    Yet another case of a “muslim spokesman” in the public eye who turns out not to be what he seemed.

    There are many examples in the West. Are you keeping a list RS?

    On the topic of Reza Aslan, I just found out that in his book on Jesus, Aslan has confirmed the historical evidence that Jesus died on the cross. In so doing, he has publicly admitted that the Quran got it wrong:

    “Will U.S. anti-“Islamophobia” campaigner Reza Aslan likewise forgo the indirect method and strap on a bomb vest?”

    If he did, the media would say that he was “provoked”.

    Left-wing media has very low expectations for Muslims.

    Personally, I would make sure that this muslim goat turd was given pork chops and sausages for every meal.

    He did want to prevent violence; it’s just that his definition of violence does not include attacks by Muslims against infidels, especially ones that violate Sharia, such as French Jews (because they are linked to Israel). He is also against harming innocent people, but that would not include Jewish children or the children of others who violate Sharia. It’s the Abdul in Wonderland journey down the Islamic rabbit hole. You’ll need a special dictionary for translation.

    • Celtic says

      Jul 13, 2015 at 4:10 am

      @jewdog

      This is correct. I remember seeing an interview in which an Aussie TV-channel interviewed some leader of an Aussie-muslim movement about IS – for fucking 10 minutes he dodged the simple question wether or not he condemns ISIS.

      Of course he would cry about Islamophobia, claim that the US murdered 1 million Iraqis (which is nonesense as even one youtuber from Iraq stated angrily – since the majority of civilians killed are the victims of Jihadis) and of course he sometimes said “we clearly stated that we are againts the killing of innocent”.

      However – as you and I know: Kuffars being killed are not innocents in their point of view – for this reason he couldn’t respond to the question wether or not he’s actually condeming ISIS with a simple “yes, of course” – as every non-muslim would do without hesitation.

      I have had that in my mind too, jewdog.

      I presume there is a dictionary or glossary available
      to collate and explain all the NewSpeak in ‘1984’.

      We need a creative dictionary of MoSpeak.
      I don’t do this full-time, so I can’t do that.
      But if any one person can start that,
      I will be more that willing to contribute.

      That could be an appendix to ‘islam 101’,
      or ‘islam for dummies’. [who else, if not dummies?]

    It was reported in court that in a number of internet chats Achamlane praised a terror attack calling it “a blessing of Allah”. Another time he wrote “we are going to inflict scars on France we’re going to slash up France”.

    But in court he denied any violent intent or “terror inspiration”. So how can we explain this discrepancy? When he was in a forum where he thought his words were secret he reveals his true thoughts. When in public he claims he is a man of peace. In short like most Islamists he is a barefaced liar.

    One can get 9 years for robbing a bank. Surely International Terrorism is a much greater threat. 20 years or more would seem closer to the mark with life imprisonment if lives were proven to have been lost.

      Isn’t his shit 100 times more direct and inciting
      than anything written by anyone quoted by Breivik?

      If any criminal quotes him in the next 10-20 years,
      or his rantings are found in their possession,
      in their ‘manifesto’ that should result in fresh charges
      against him.

      Let the ‘revolving door’ lead him back in to gaol,
      instead of out.

    France should just threaten to deport every Muslim who has the slightest ties to Jihadism. And of course deport all of them who are either supporting it or calling for it – or directly involved. Also all Sharia advocates should be deported at once.

  16. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jul 13, 2015 at 8:36 am

    He was plotting murderous jihad attacks against Jewish citizens of France?

    He gets just nine years in jail?

    No.

    He should be getting the boot. Sans his citizenship or residency papers.

    All the way back to the lands already ruined by Islam, where he or his parents came from in the first place, and where he belongs.

    All Jewish community leaders in France – backed up by all decent Gentile leaders, most notably the leaders of all the French Christian churches – must *demand* that, at the end of his nine years in jail, this evil jihad gang boss and Jew-hater be summarily – and in public – stripped of his French citizenship, and stuffed into a plane to his Muslim-country point of origin/ ancestry.

    If necessary, hold rallies, marches, sit-ins and letter-writing campaigns. Be very loud about it, and do. not. shut. up.

    This man, and others like him, endanger the lives of every Jew in France…and *also* of every *other* non-Muslim in France.

    His presence ought not to be tolerated or permitted.

    Out with him!

    France should start using the guillotine Again. There are simply too many of these lethal moslem scumbags in Europe now, and at some point extreme violence will be the only solution, because our stupid EU-leaders and national politicians ‘didn’t see it coming’! Really odd, since most of us normal European Citizens have seen it coming for the past 10 years!

    “…Achamlane praised Mohamed Merah, who killed three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school in Toulouse as well as three French paratroopers before being killed by police. According to court documents, he had called the attack “a blessing of Allah.”

    That’s nothing. Here in Australia, successive *Grand Muftis* over the past decade have publicly praised the murder of 3,000 random innocent people on 9/11, calling it “Allah’s work against the oppressor”, defended the worst gang-rapes in Australia’s history (committed by Muslims who specifically chose *white* non-Muslim girls for victims), saying

    “If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it … whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.”

    And most recently threatening our Prime Minister that unless Australia takes the Muslim line on Israel, then Australian Muslims will continue to join Islamic State’s beheadings, crucifyings, gang-rapes, enslavements, etc – warning earlier this year:

    “The West is turning a blind eye to THE JUST CAUSE and THE SUFFERING of lots of people living in the Middle East and THEY ARE BLINDLY SUPPORTING ISRAEL and [young Muslims’] reaction to this – they [naturally] go and join Daesh.”

    Despite this from Grand Muftis, our politicians continued (until recently) to import JIhadis and their culture into Australia, while our journalists continue to promote their causes, and conceal their crimes.

    And as Jihad Watch reported elsewhere today, the Australian Federal Police were to have hosted a fine dinner to celebrate the end of Ramadan later this month, except Muslim leaders are all boycotting it, saying they disapprove of anti-terrorism laws.

    This madness is what you get when non-Muslim traitors push to elite positions of power in your country, and suck up as hard as they can to an explicitly murderous rapist death-cult.
