France: Islamic State-inspired Muslim who beheaded boss found dead in cell

Dec 22, 2015 10:58 pm By Robert Spencer

The death has been ruled a suicide. Did Yassin Salhi realize he had given his life over to the service of evil? Or was he just anxious to meet the houris?

“ISIS-inspired Frenchman who beheaded his boss is found dead in jail cell,” by Sasha Goldstein, New York Daily News, December 22, 2015:

One less ISIS thug.

A Frenchman who beheaded his boss in the name of the Islamic State was found dead Tuesday in his Paris jail cell, according to local media.

Yassin Salhi was held in isolation at the Fleury-Merogis prison after the barbaric beheading during the summer. The 35-year-old delivery driver was found hanged with bed sheets from his cell and later died around 9:15 p.m. local time, Le Dauphine Libere newspaper reported.

Yassin Salhi, 35, told detectives he had killed Herve Cornara in a parking area before arriving at the plant in Saint Quentin-Fallavier, 20 miles south of Lyon, where he attempted to cause an explosion in June.

The Islamic State fanatic had been held at the massive prison outside Paris since June 26, when he strangled and then beheaded his boss, Herve Cornara, in Lyon. After the killing, Salhi, a father of three, texted a friend of selfie of him with his boss’s severed head. He then unsuccessfully tried to set off an explosion at the U.S.-owned Air Products factory in Lyon by plowing a truck into an area containing flammable liquids. The suspect instead caused only a small explosion and was attempting to ignite bottles of acetone when he was overpowered by firefighters.

Authorities said Salhi had ties to Islamic extremists but was likely inspired, not ordered, to carry out the killing.

His in-custody death has been ruled a suicide….

      Another dead Mohammedan Slave of Allah following every word of the Quran and Muhammad’s Sunnah. The Islamic State is implementing every bit of Islamic theology and law. Sharia law is not the words of Santa Claus and his reindeer bearing gifts for the non-Islamic world.

      We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Mohammedanism is a terribly dangerous and harmful fraud.

      There are no virgins/houris waiting in Islamic heaven for the Mohammedan Slaves of Allah no matter how much killing they do for Islam.

      >>>>>

      The Sexual Powers of Prophet Muhammad !!!

      Many Muslims believe that the prophet Muhammad was a man endowed with super human powers in the realm of sexuality. Muslim males are especially proud of this Islamic tradition and often use it as material for jokes and boasting.

      During my days in Islam, I remember a product being sold in an Islamic book store that was designed to give men extra sexual energy. It was a glass jar containing a mixture of pistachio nuts and honey as well as some other ingredients.

      The guy working the cash register was grinning from ear to ear trying to make fun while explaining that studly Muhammad had the sex drive of thirty men and used to bed all of his women in one night when the horny little freak got the urge. I just smiled back at the guy and laughed at his stupidity.

      Here is an authentic hadith documenting the great sexual prowess of one Muhammad of Arabia:

      Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 268:

      Narrated Qatada:

      Anas bin Malik said, “The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number.” I asked Anas, “Had the Prophet the strength for it?” Anas replied, “We used to say that the Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men).” And Sa’id said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).

      See, Muhammad really was a playboy who scored with the ladies! So what if some of those women were in actuality slaves and concubines, right? It is likely that both Muhammad’s slave and non-slave women would have left that disgusting little pig were it not for fear of losing their lives. After all, he had killed some of their husbands.

      Jihadis are blowing themselves up and killing both Muslim and non-Muslim peoples on a daily basis trying to get to “the goodies” waiting in Paradise that “Muhammad promised them”. Those deluded fools think that Mr.Allah up there in 7th heaven is going produce an endless supply of perfect virgins for them.

      These programmed robots are trying to kill their way into Paradise so that they can “get busy with all of those willing cuties”. The Qur’an, that hideously evil piece of trash that was Muhammad’s ticket to “the good life”, contains many passages describing the carnal rewards of Islamic heaven.

      Here is a small sample of what Muslim males expect to enjoy when they die:

      Qur’an, 056.012-039: They shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine (that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason); with fruit of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they relish. And theirs shall be the dark-eyed houris, chaste as hidden pearls: a guerdon for their deeds… We created the houris and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand…

      055.054-059: They shall recline on couches lined with thick brocade, and within reach shall hang the fruits of both gardens. Which of your Lord’s blessing would you deny? Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before. Which of your Lord’s blessings would you deny? Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Which of your Lord’s blessing would you deny?

      055.072-075: Dark-eyed virgins, sheltered in their tents (which of your Lord’s blessing would you deny?), whom neither man nor jinnee will have toughed before. Which of your Lord’s blessing would you deny?

      Muslim males actually expect 72 virgins each when they die and go to heaven! Muslims believe this nonsense because it is specified in a Hadith contained within the Al-Tirmidhi collection: (volume IV, chapters on The Features of Paradise as described by the Messenger of Allah [Prophet Muhammad], chapter 21, About the Smallest Reward for the People of Paradise, Hadith 2687).

      “The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: ‘The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana’a [Yemen]’.”

      The sensual pleasures that Muslims expect to experience in Paradise have been described in graphic detail by Egyptian scholar and Islamic theologian, Imam Al-Suyuti (died 1505). He wrote:

      “Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [ie Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.”

      Though fear and hatred are the real engine of Islam, sex and other luxuries are a damn close second! No wonder so many Muslims are eager to kill and die and go to heaven!!

        Another great post from Saleem Smith.

        The description of the brothel-like “paradise” simply shows that Allah is a pimp.

        LOL, how good is that ….. bowing down and submitting to a pimp.

          Virgin is a British: Record co ( or was) and an airline.

          Also, some islands in (supposed to be nice).

          And, children under 5 in Muslim countries; a little older in civilized areas.

          Hope that answers your problem.

        A mistake was found centuries ago concerning the virgins but the clerics decided to keep it a secret. They each get One 72 year Old virgin, Not 72 virgins. Imagine the disappointment when the moon god gives them their reward.

          Do the texts/ books etc SAY WHAT SPECIES the virgins are?

          Did Mohammed?

          Since Muslims are big into bestiality, perhaps the virgins are sheep, goats and cames- or a mixture? And some male,. some female?

          I ahve asked before- si ti me, or when posting are the box asking fi want to receive new comments, etc on the post are missing?

    Almost certainly he had realized that he had, in his wildly delusional religious fervor, slipped into the satanic core on which Islam is based. No moslem kills themselves without the chance to take out infidels and assure themselves of the imaginary moslem pornographic paradise. Only a moslem who is no longer a moslem and has realized reality, would kill themselves without harming infidels. A true moslem, as we have ALWAYS seen, continues to try and tie up the infidels’ resources until the end. A suicidal moslem without the goal of murdering innocent infidels is not a moslem any more. Like the Boston bomber/ROLLING STONE cover boy model who was fingering the security cameras, there is never any real remorse or retrospection from a true moslem. But this man demonstrates a breakdown. He had given up on Islam. That’s logical to assume.

      And may he (or she) help many more Muslims in the same way.

      And a question- can and will the sheets be able to be reused? I hate to see good sheets going to waste.

      Even if not mine.

    What an evil religion Islam is. It brings only destruction wherever it is found – even to its own followers. If he did do this out of remorse, then I hope he repented and turned to Christ before he entered eternity.

    May this demonic ideology one day be gone from the earth so that no more souls will be lost to it!

      Dec 23, 2015 at 12:39 pm

      It will but not until the True God removes it, Muhammad’s first thoughts were that the entity he met was Satan or one of his agents but Muhammad’s family convinced him it was the angel Gabriel, this according to an Arab historian. I haven’t been able to find the original story but if Muhammad believed this at first then he was definitely right. The God of the Bible promised that He would bring a savior, many prophets living centuries apart were inspired to write about Him, even His birth and his death are described with 100% accuracy, So six hundred later God wouldn’t raise up Muhammad who taught just the opposite of what Jesus taught. Muhammad taught Hate and War and Jesus taught Love and Peace. Shame on you foolish Christians who say we worship the same God. The “Interfaith Movement” is one such organization lobbying for more Muslims to come here, even countries that have almost wiped out Christians, speaking of “Strong Delusion” it’s here.

    Dec 23, 2015 at 1:03 am

    Devout Muslims are taught to obey the Quran in every detail (considered to be the perfect words of God by Muslims) and follow everything that Mohammed supposedly said and did (the Sunnah).

    Horribly distasteful joke (I know):

    Why did the Mohammedan Santa Claus stone and beat his reindeer and women to death and “send them to beds apart” ?

    Because they were disguised as “disobedient Muslim women” according to the Quran.

    004:034 Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely Allah is high, supreme.

    • Jack says

      Dec 23, 2015 at 12:55 pm

      Yet the former loud mouth women’s right group is silent when it comes to Islam, not only silent but they point out verses out of context in the O.T to try and paint Christian men being the same as Muslim men. Another group that seems to fear Christians more than Muslims is the gay rights group. Somewhere in the Quran and it is practiced in some Islamic countries today, this is close: When the homosexual is found among you, you must bind them and take them to the highest point in your community and drop them on their heads. I don’t hear Christians calling for this, Jesus never taught to do them harm. Another great difference between the God of the Bible and the god of the Quran; is the God of the Bible says vengeance is Mine and the moon god Allah says you must seek vengeance in my name.

    Mohammed the prophet of Islam was dead serious when he said certain things. And if Muslims do not obey and implement these things they are considered to be heretics, blasphemers and apostates and be put to death…

    Hadith: Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, No. 196:

    Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah ‘s Apostle said, ” I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,’ and whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,’ his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)”

    Sahih Muslim 4294:

    “When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to 3 courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also except it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya (the Islamic tax). If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them.” – Muhammad.

    The tweet posted in this article reads in translation: “Selfie of the Caliphate soldier Yassin with the filthy head of the disbeliever. *El *Isere *Gift (…can’t you feel the love-and-peace of Islam?)

    HOWEVER…the French press is unsure that there is evidence of a jihad attack…a terrorist attack would have required Yassin Salhi to be punished more severely, so Salhi said it was a ‘revenge killing’ to avoid more serious charges.

    The French press said he was the ‘reverse’ of Mohamed Merah, the Kouachi brothers, Amedy Coulibaly or the jihadists who struck Paris on November 13, 2015. Yassin Salhi denied any religious motivation (even though he used the traditional jihadist beheading). He claimed he had had a dispute with his boss and an argument with his wife.

    However, a psychoanalyst specializing in terrorism, Hélène L’Heuillet, claimed that Yassin Salhi might have killed out of revenge as well as an act of terrorism.

  8. mortimer says

    Dec 23, 2015 at 1:58 am

    According the Paris prosecutor, François Molins, terrorist Yassin Salhi followed precise orders from ISIS.

    An article in the French press reads as follows in translation:

    The investigators gave the following account: “Yassin left home on June 26, 2015 in the morning…to arrive at the site of his workplace, Colicom, in Chassieu, south-east of Lyon. He carried a knife and a pump-action rifle.

    At the Colicom site…he made his boss Hervé Cornara…climb into his vehicle then he overwhelmed him before strangling him. He then went to the Air Products industrial gas site … where he decapitated his victim with his knife. He had entered the site and the gate had been opened for him without formality because he was known as a deliveryman by the personnel.

    …he then brought out the head of Cornora and affixed it on a fence, staging a macabre scene with two flags bearing the ‘shahada’, the profession of Islamic faith. After taking photos, he sent them to a friend who had left to fight in Syria, including a selfie in which he posed beside his victim. Then, he returned to his van and ran it into gas bottles provoking an explosion before being subdued by firemen who arrived rapidly and to whom he shouted ‘Allah Akbar’.

    The Paris prosecutor, François Molins suggested that the attack corresponded very precisely to the words of a DAESH order, notably in Salhi’s desire to ‘give his act maximum publicity’.

      William this is a mistake in the Qur’an which has never been corrected, here is what it says in the original: Each male when carrying out their duty of killing infidels will be rewarded with One 72 year old virgin, Not 72 virgins. Just think if this was revealed ISIS would probably disband overnight, the young men would be afraid to kill infidels because of such a reward.(}:-)

    After many years of prison ministry I am confident that Mo would not last a week in any of our prisons in the good ole U.S. of A. He ,being an equal opportunity pedo-perv for little girls and boys, would be one of the “P.C. pussies” in the protective custody unit. The lowest of the low in the prison pecking order. Murdered by one or more in the same unit for being the lowest of the low would be a fitting end to the worst pedo-prophet of all time.

      Would I prefer to see more of these peices of garbage kill themselves while incarcerated, and save taxpayers money, or while out in the real (or surreal) world.?

      I am leaning towards the latter- as less chance of injury to innocents.

      But, I would hope that more kill themsleves-or their famileis, but leave normal people alone.

    Poor Yassin, being put in solitary. I’m sure he thought he deserved 5 star dining and maid service. Maybe a deck of cards or a Sudoku book would have made life in solitary more bearable, after all. all he did was cut an innocent person’s head off. And to boot, he was ordered to do it for allah, so that made him blameless. What a bumb deal.
