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

France: Muslim who returned from Islamic State instructed to attack concert

Sep 20, 2015 4:01 pm By Robert Spencer

End concerts now! They just “provoke” Muslims and “poke them in the eye.” We have to have more respect! All concerts must cease immediately!

Meanwhile, any Muslim who travels to the Islamic State should not be allowed to return to his or her home country. The Islamic State is at war with the countries of Europe, as well as with the United States. To go there should be considered an act of treason.

“Arrested French jihadist ‘instructed’ to attack concert,” France 24, September 18, 2015:

A French national suspected of planning a terrorist attack in France after returning from the Islamic State group’s Syrian stronghold of Raqqa was arrested last month, officials said Friday.

The man admitted to police that he had been instructed to carry out an attack on French soil – “preferably” during a concert – but has denied that he had any intention of following through with the plan, according to a judicial source.

He was not immediately identified by police, but the source told AFP that he was a 29-year-old who had spent one week in Raqqa. He was arrested on August 11 at his home and charged with “criminal association in relation with a criminal terrorist enterprise”….

The suspect did not have a police record and was unknown to French intelligence services before his trip to Syria, the judicial source said.

A handgun was reportedly found at his home during the arrest.

European cooperation

During questioning, the suspect told police he had spent one week in Raqqa – which became the Islamic State (IS) group’s de facto capital in northern Syria in mid-2013 – where he was injured during combat training.

Before returning to France, he received precise instructions about which route to take back to Paris and about carrying out an attack, the suspect allegedly told police after his arrest.

French police were tipped off to the former jihadist’s presence in France after the arrest of another suspect, on June 15 in Poland. The second man, a Moroccan national, was detained on a Spanish arrest warrant.

Suspected of spending time among IS militants in Syria, the Moroccan confessed he had not travelled to Europe alone – identifying the man now in French police custody….

The French government revealed this week that 1,880 French citizens or residents were directly involved in jihadist networks. It said 133 people had died while fighting, with 491 others still waging war abroad….

    That’s no surprise. Concerts go on a long list alongside churches, shopping malls, marathons, and other places were ordinary people gather to lead safe, normal lives.

    Music is a big non-no in Islam (under strict sharia). Ask the IS or consult views on music by ayatollah Khomeini. So all music lovers beware: Once this cancer called ISLAM is allowed to spread any further, it will be death sentence to all non-believers but also their music, all more than 1000 years of cultural achievement down the drain!

    Guessing it wouldn’t be a Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens concert.

    Guess one also shouldn’t ask how they manage to come and go to Syria and back again
    so freely and easily. La di da. They were only tipped off by the arrest of another jihadi. How many
    others have they missed? Muslim roulette.

    Attack on a concert in France? It’s going to happen, and I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. France, Germany, Sweden, the UK and other EU and European countries who have been forced to let droves of muzzies in under the ridiculous PC regime are going to suffer. I think some ordinary indigenous people are slowly waking up to this threat now.

    In the UK, I am sure that some sort of attack on a concert is imminent… can you picture a huge explosion going off at the Proms?

    Many so-called “Free” schools and “Academies” in the UK were set up and started by muzzies, because they saw a chance to make huge sums of money from the public purse. One so-called “Principal” of a free-school – a muzzie – was fired recently because of a £950,000 “hole” in his budget… somewhat like the trillions of US CASH that disappeared in Afghanistan?

    The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said music lessons were potentially unacceptable to about 10% of Muslims.
    This could equate to hundreds of Muslim children being withdrawn from the lessons, the MCB said.
    It said passages from a collection of the Prophet Mohammed’s teachings banned instruments.
    The MCB said passages from the Ahadith collection state: “There will be people from my Ummah [nation] who will seek to make lawful fornication, the wearing of silk [for men], wine drinking and the use of musical instruments.”
    My God. their so-called “perfect man” was nothing but an illiterate camel driver from the deserts of Arabia, going around and killing and murdering 1400 years ago (besides “playing” with a six year-old girl, Aisha, and then taking her virginity when she was only 9 years old!). The Cowran and Ahadiths make this psychotically deranged criminal an expert on music? NOT.
    Can you imagine a bomb going off in Maastricht at this André Rieu concert in front of a crowd of 10,000 people featuring Amira Willighagen (9 years old).
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yom-UzSDGmI
    God bless her. How can muzzies say that music is “haraam” (forbidden)??

      This is not true. Exaggerating negative things about the Holy Prophet impugns the objectivity of this blog and I protest. It is known that the Holy Prophet was a stud who married a wealthy older woman, a gigolo. Also, after being passed around as a child a couple times, he ended up with his uncle, who was the owner/operator of the Kaaba, which to this day is the most glamorous religious tourist attraction in all of Dar al-Islam.

    Offence or defense?

    Defense / by Camouflage —Some believe that the answer to this is to start learning answers to Islamic questions in case they are in soft target territory when Muzzie jihadis get an attitude and start segregating Muslims from non-Muslims.

    Offense / Lock & Load— Others believe that when it gets to the point that one would even seriously consider the defense approach that it is already much too late to wish Islam away, and it is high time to administer an educational attitude adjustment.

    All concerts must cease immediately!

    This is not as crazy as it sounds. If concerts stop, Infidels would be in less danger of being murdered or ending up with leg stumps in a wheelchair. This is the Bill/Laura school of thought that postulates that it is stupid, self-aggrandizing and unnecessary to hold Holy Prophet Mohammed cartoon contests. Laura went to Yale, and Bill is a fake Harvard man, so these people are real smart. Geniuses. It’s not like they’re afraid of Moslems, they just don’t wanna see anybody get hurt unnecessarily.

    So stop the concerts, and France is safer. It’s not like the Moslems would ratchet up the demands for things not to take place. They would appreciate the prerogative gesture, settle into peaceable conduct and gradually assimilate into French culture, and become themselves secularist socialists.

    There is no music in Islam, there is no humor in Islam, there is no free will in Islam.

    But there is plenty of hatred.

    We have met the enemy of life and Humanity.

    Muslims caught terrorsing us should be jailed, without stupid hats, books & mats, after serving sentence without bail they should be exported to their place of berth without passport and with a barcode tattooed onto their forhead ….

    U2 will have lost a massive amount of money over this posponed concert, from now on everyone will have to be body-searched etc.. like at the airport on the way in… can you imagine how long this will take,, plus after the first hit people will not go, switching to the internet,, causing the muscians to loose even more money …

    F**k this is pissing me off, muslims are eating away at our freedoms and our pleasures, and our stupid politicians are just financing them and letting them flow in …

    Arabs will always brutally fight, they have been doing to for centuaries and they’e not going to stop by letting them into our free world …

    Democracy is greatest asset and it’s slipping away …….

    No surprise here.

    Back when there was an eruption of Real Islam in Mali, one of the first things the jihadis took time out to do was to threaten and silence the country’s famous musicians…who, insofar as they were busy devoting their lives to music (and much of it happy, secular music) were much better musicians, and Africans, than they were Muslims.

    The story was covered here at jihadwatch in 2012. One singer was told that her tongue would be cut out if she went on singing (after all, in the canonical Hadiths, it’s said that if someone listens to a songstress, then in Hell his ears will be filled with molten lead).

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/12/malian-singer-islamic-supremacists-told-my-neighbors-that-if-they-ever-caught-me-they-would-cut-my-t.html

    The original link was to a Washington Post story – not sure if it’s still working, but I made and kept a complete copy of the report because – though the reporters hadn’t a real clue – it was so very, very telling.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/in-northern-mali-music-silenced-as-islamists-drive-out-artists/2012/11/30/110ea016-300c-11e2-af17-67abba0676e2_story_1.html

    Here’s the bit that matters.

    “….In a telephone interview, one of the Islamists’ top commanders declared that his fighters would continue to target musicians.
    “Music is against Islam,” said Oumar Ould Hamaha, the military leader of the Movement for Oneness TAWHEED and Jihad in West Africa, one of the three extremist groups controlling the north.

    “Instead of singing, why don’t they read the Koran? Why don’t they subject themselves to God and pray?

    We are not only against the musicians in Mali. We are in a struggle against all the musicians of the world.”…”. END EXCERPT.

    The Mohammedan spin-doctors and sand-throwers who infest this forum from time to time can spin and throw sand all they like, they still have to contend with the clear evidence of a devout African Muslim jihad gang boss who states, plain as plain “Music is against Islam” and then utters the most horrifying threat, “We are not only against the musicians in Mali. We are in a struggle against all the musicians of the world.”

    Islam isn’t just ‘anti-west’. It isn’t just ‘anti-civilisation’.

    when it sets its face against the pet dog, and against the strings and the flute, it declares itself to be *anti-human*, period.

    Let all those who like to join ISIS, get out of the free world. And do not let them come back again.They do not belong to you. They will be the sources of micro disturbances which may lead to tribulations. They should have been exiled in the first place. Just revoke their citizenship and never ever let them in. Ask your law makers for the right and appropriate laws to do so.
    Anyone who loves to go out to their beloved calif, good bye forever. No coming back. Enjoy your sharia laws if you can. But say goodbye to democracy.

    All these events are surely leading us to a point where the final clash is unavoidable. It is not a battle between the West and the non-Western cultures. it is a battle between two wrong ideologies : western reject of God versus Islamic false God. Scores of people will suffer and die but eventually the only truth manifested by Jesus Christ will prevail.
