This is war. Anyone who thinks we should now import large numbers of people among whom there are certain to be more enemy combatants is witless or traitorous, or both.
“3 terrorist suspects killed, others held in raid in Saint-Denis, officials say,” by Jethro Mullen, Atika Shubert and Margot Haddad, CNN, November 18, 2015:
Saint-Denis, France (CNN)Three terrorist suspects have been killed in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis during an ongoing security operation linked to the deadly attacks that rocked the French capital five days ago, a police source said. The targets of the raid are believed to have included the purported ringleader of the attacks.
Latest developments:
• 4:48 a.m. ET: The operation is still in progress, the French National Police said. Five officers have been lightly wounded and a police dog was killed in the raid, according to police.
• 3:07 a.m. ET: Five people have been arrested during the operation, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. They include three men who were removed from the apartment at the heart of the raid, and a man and a woman who were detained near the apartment, the prosecutor’s office said. It also confirmed that a woman killed herself at the scene by activating her suicide belt.
• 2:52 a.m. ET: The police operation is “absolutely not over,” said Matthieu Hanotin, a lawmaker for Saint-Denis. He told French radio that police believe that there are still heavily armed terrorists inside the building. French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira had earlier suggested the raid was “coming to an end.”
• 2:47 a.m. ET: Three suspected terrorists have been killed in the raid, a police source told CNN.
• 2:16 a.m. ET: One of the terrorist suspects killed was shot by a police sniper, and another was a woman who died after her suicide vest exploded, the broadcaster reported. A civilian passerby was killed during the operation, it said.
• 2:08 a.m. ET: Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, is one of the potential targets of the operation, a senior Belgian counterterrorism official told CNN. The official cautioned that French and Belgian authorities weren’t certain that Abaaoud was at the location when they launched the raid in search of high priority targets.
• 1:32 a.m. ET: A series of explosions is heard in the area. The cause of the blasts wasn’t immediately clear.
• Police and soldiers have cordoned off the zone and all public transportation in the area has been halted. Residents have been warned to stay inside.
Full story:
Gunfire and explosions shook the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis early Wednesday as heavily armed police stormed a building where suspects linked to Friday’s deadly terrorist attacks were believed to be holed up.
Police blocked off roads before dawn Wednesday and told residents to stay inside in Saint-Denis, a diverse, working-class area that is home to the Stade de France sports stadium where three suicide bombings took place Friday.
The situation has been developing quickly in recent hours, but as of mid-morning Paris time, three terrorist suspects were said by a police source to have been killed. One of them was a woman who blew herself up with a suicide belt, authorities said.
Five other people were arrested, including three men who were removed from the apartment at the heart of the raid, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. Five police officers were lightly wounded during the operation.
The identities of the dead and detained suspects wasn’t immediately clear. It was also uncertain how many people might still be inside the apartment, which is on a street just a few blocks from the Basilica Cathedral of Saint Denis, where many French monarchs’ remains are entombed.
A senior Belgian counterterrorism official told CNN that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, was one of the potential targets of the police raid.
But the official cautioned that French and Belgian authorities weren’t certain that Abaaoud, a Belgian ISIS member who was widely believed to have been in Syria recently, was at the location when they launched the raid.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud is as Belgian as sushi.
Saadana Aymen, a 29-year-old who lives one street down from the site of the police operation, said he couldn’t believe what was happening in his neighborhood.
“When you think of Saint-Denis, you don’t think of terrorists,” he told CNN. “I’m shocked! Why would the terrorists pick this neighborhood?”
Shocked!

If only the government had shown such resolve earlier.
There should be no relenting now.
129 lives lost should not be in vain.
Bombing ISIS is meaningless if you don’t neutralize the enemy within.

It amazes me that still our sugared up politicians who are paid whacko amounts of money to “govern” us promote Islam as a religion of peace when in fact it is a political ideology which at its heart has the elimination of you and yours so that it can take what was once yours which is a pattern we see all over the world – slaughter, steal houses and land then dictate religious abeyance as state. Any means can be used to achieve those aims including the practice of trakya which is deceit and lying to further the advance of Islam, evidently very effective with politicians.
The only way of treating Islam IS NOT TO ALLOW IT IN YOUR COUNTRY IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

Good morning everyone, on this 5th day of the West’s newly dawning epoch in Year 1, A.P. (after Paris). As Robert writes in leading off his post above, “This is war.”
Watch the video in this post to see a preview of what could be coming to your town in the endless future of America’s share of jihad. In fact, you might even be an observer, just like the person who taped that shootout.
Would you like to have a fast path to six passages from the sacred texts — which your formerly friendly neighborhood Muslims will find motivational after they become “radicalized” ? Find David Wood’s video titled Three Stages of Jihad on Youtube or at http://www.answeringmuslims.com, and watch the segment starting at 14:38 and ending at 17:19 — a brief two minutes and 41 seconds.
He cites Qur’an Chapter 9 — suras 73, 111, 123, and 29, plus Sahih al-Bukhari 6924 and Sahih al-Muslim 30. This part of the video is in Stage 3 (offensive jihad), but we are seeing, in Paris and Germany, oodles of Muslims who just cannot wait to become a majority, and so apply those sacred quotes right now.
Pass them along to the clueless privilege-guilt reality deniers in your slice of the U.S. — elected officials, family, friends, clergy, and so on. You could even write them down on a few index cards for those impromptu discussions that might happen as you stroll down the sidewalk with fellow citizens.

Of course he didn’t.

He had probably convinced himself that the French would Submit.
He wasn’t expecting Special Forces to hit the neighbourhood with guns blazing.

………………………
I’m glad to see the French and other European authorities are finally acting. There have been dozens of raids on Jihadists.

Saadana Aymen, a 29-year-old who lives one street down from the site of the police operation, said he couldn’t believe what was happening in his neighborhood.

What *absolute crap*.
Here’s what a Gatestone Institute report has to say about Saint Denis:
“Some of the most notorious no-go zone areas in France are situated in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, a northeastern suburb (banlieue) of Paris that has one of the highest concentrations of Muslims in France. The department is home to an estimated 600,000 Muslims (primarily from North and West Africa) out of a total population of 1.4 million.
“Seine-Saint-Denis is divided into 40 administrative districts called communes (townships), 36 of which are on the French government’s official list of “sensitive urban zones” or ZUS.
“Seine-Saint-Denis — also known locally as “ninety-three” or “nine three” after the first two digits of the postal code for this suburb — has one of the highest unemployment rates in France; more than 40% of those under the age of 25 are jobless. The area is plagued with drug dealing and suffers from some of the highest rates of violent crime in France.
“In October 2011, a landmark 2,200-page report, “Banlieue de la République” (Suburbs of the Republic) found that Seine-Saint-Denis and other Parisian suburbs are becoming “separate Islamic societies” cut off from the French state, and where Islamic Sharia law is rapidly displacing French civil law. The report said that Muslim immigrants are increasingly rejecting French values and instead are immersing themselves in radical Islam…
“The research was primarily carried out in the Seine-Saint-Denis townships of Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil, two suburbs that were ground zero for Muslim riots in the fall of 2005, when Muslim mobs torched more than 9,000 cars.
“The report described Seine-Saint-Denis as a “wasteland of de-industrialization” and said that in some areas, “a third of the population of the town does not hold French nationality, and many residents are drawn to an Islamic identity.”
“Another township of Seine-Saint-Denis is Aubervilliers. Sometimes referred to as one of the “lost territories of the French Republic,” it is effectively a Muslim city: more than 70% of the population is Muslim. Three quarters of young people under 18 in the township are foreign or French of foreign origin, mainly from the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. French police are said to rarely venture into some of the most dangerous parts of the township.”

And here’s an “Islamist” rally in Saint Denis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TID3l6lpJA4
Even if you speak no French, you can pick up on the bellicose tone, the Islamic State flags, and the ranting about “Yedhudin” (Jews), the women immured in Niqabs–and, of course, the screams of “Allahu Akbar!”.
Then there are the signs that say that Shari’ah will dominate France.
And near the end, there is an English-speaking Jihadist who makes everything even more abundantly clear.
While there was a time when Saint Denis was quintisentially French, that time is long past.
The reality is that something like this happening now in Saint Denis is perfectly predictable.
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article you found – “a third of the population of the town does not hold French nationality”.
O well, that should make it easier to *deport* them, should the French wake up and recognise them for the Fifth Column that they are.
Imagine if one-third of the hostile Muslim presence currently squatting in St Denis – within a mere stone’s throw of “the Basilica Cathedral of Saint Denis, where many French monarchs’ remains are entombed” (I quote from the news report Mr Spencer has just put up for discussion) – were simply…scooped up and packed on planes and boats for Return to Sender (in Dar al Islam).
The security headache of the City of Paris would diminish quite considerably.

Just a technical point ,but if you blow yourself up with a suicide belt and you don’t take the enemy with you, isn’t it just suicide?
