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

France: Muslim group sues over “illegal” post-Paris anti-terror police raids

Dec 19, 2015 10:04 am By Robert Spencer

In the U.S., Hamas-linked CAIR discourages Muslims from talking to the FBI. That group has also opposed every counter-terror measure that has ever been implemented. And now in France, a Muslim group is suing the government for its raids after the Paris jihad massacre. When have we ever seen Muslims freely, openly, and fully cooperating with anti-terror efforts.

“Muslim group takes French government to court over ‘illegal’ anti-terror police raids,” by Tom Batchelor, Express, December 18, 2015:

Authorities in France have carried out more than 2,700 raids and enforced 360 house arrests in the month since the terror attacks, which left 130 dead.

A state of emergency has been in place since the co-ordinated shootings and bombings, giving authorities extra powers to conduct raids without a court warrant.

In that time 51 people have been jailed, primarily for weapons or drugs offences.

But those caught up in the police investigations have now launched proceedings against the state, arguing the counter-terror operation that has ballooned since the attacks has unfairly targeted them.

Most of the allegations claim that the government acted illegally in placing people under house arrest for unjustified reasons or based on misinformation.

Many of the complaints also state their property has been damaged in the raids or that those being investigated have been left emotionally distressed by the intrusion.

Under French law, the Interior Ministry is allowed to target anyone it believes poses a threat to public security.

Those put under house arrest must remain in their homes at night and report to police three times a day, with some forced to wear electronic bracelets.

Paris lawyer Xavier Nogueras is representing 12 Muslims under house arrest.

He says his clients were unfairly targeted based on secret intelligence and unproven suspicions.

But last month a court in the French capital said the government had not committed any “obvious legal breach” in the house arrests of two of his clients.

The government has so far agreed to reverse a handful of cases.

    As has been said by many in here and elsewhere, the ability of Moslems to leverage rights conferred by civilized society will help cause us to lose to the Global Jihad. Having that happen in court rooms especially rankles, because it’s justice that these venues are supposed to serve.

    Until Islam is stripped of the legal protections it enjoys under the reserve status of putatively being religion, there is little hope. That’s why Trump’s call for a temporary suspension of Moslem was significant: it is time to face up to the question of what Islam is. This outraged many, with our next president Hillary calling Trump’s statement “disgraceful”. No, Hildabeast, having as your top aide a person with deep Mo-Bro-Hood ties is disgraceful, agreeing to a UN resolution to make it a crime in member nations to criticize a religion is disgraceful, watching on TV while 32 people were set to die at the hands of Jihadis in Benghazi with a stand down order to not to try to save them is disgraceful, lying about the cause of that attack is disgraceful, operating a philanthropy that bequeaths only 17% of its assets to charities is disgraceful. Who is Hillary to deem anything disgraceful?

    Muslims are again more upset over anti-terrorism action than by terrorism. It’s like they’re all for jihadi violence or something.

      Your average “passive” Muslim in the western world is just like that.

      They refuse to clean up their own backyard not out of fear but precisely because they all support a Caliphate.

      Look at Iraq and Syria.

      Look at all the good “Muslim Soldiers for Allah”(TM) infiltrating Europe and the USA right now.

      They are NOT refugees.

      They are all “Muslim Soldiers for Allah”(TM).

        That is a scary term Muslim Soldiers for Allasox

        (sp-sorry I have a psychological disorder and am unable to be compliant with sherium (sp)–I’m not Hillary that told the troops to stand down, roll over and bark for allasox.

        Exposing that term and the source to the entire population would be a great tool to wake people up. People can relate to that, but they can’t understand a crazy devoted follower of allasox.

    I urge all to read “The Calcutta Quran Petition” by Sita Ram Goel ( http://www.amazon.com/Calcutta-Quran-Petition-Sita-Goel/dp/8185990581 )

    In 1985 a petition was introduced in India to apply existing laws against literature “That incites violence, disturbs public tranquility, promotes, on grounds of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities, and insults other religions or religious beliefs…” These Indian laws had been used by Indian muslims to muzzle any books, articles etc which examined of their “faith”.

    Now the tables were turned….

    Its one thing to bring to light the killing of innocent people world wide by muslims, its another to print a flat out lie. if you are making an accusation like “they have told muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement”, you need to document it with hard evidence. Video evidence of any law enforcement saying directly, “we have evidence of CAIR advocating muslims not to cooperate” would go a long way in proving your point. You do that with most other stories, but I find this one lacking. Its imperative that if we are to convince more Americans to open their eyes to the menace in our land, you can’t lie about it. We are up against a national media that is extremely sympathetic to muslims and they way to fight that willful ignorance is to be truthful about everything. Half truths and out right distortions play right into their hands.

    A stark choice faces Western societies:

    EITHER we defend the rule of law ROBUSTLY but within the constitutional framework and in line with the SPIRIT of freedom, rather than allowing ourselves to be hamstrung by pettifogging objections and concerns.

    OR we end up having to rely on extra-legal forces such as the Esquadrãos da Morte (Death Squads) that were used in Brazil and Argentina in the 1970s as a last-ditch effort to suppress armed attacks by communist “urban guerillas” and their criminal allies. Of course, the Death Squads themselves quickly developed into self-perpetuating criminal organizations.

    LEFTISTS in the media and in academia believe they are on the home stretch of their life-long struggle for permanent power for themselves. We see the media and academics pulling out all the stops and ditching any pretense of objectivity or fairness to bring about their socialist paradise. This is reminiscent of the policy adopted by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in the early 1930s of tactically cooperating with the National Socialists to advance both parties’ on the road to power. Most communist leaders were later murdered by their National Socialist allies.

    Of course they did. Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter-accusations – PR 101.

    Under French law, the Interior Ministry is allowed to target anyone it believes poses a threat to public security.

    Considering this, it sounds like the kind of sue that, like a poorly manufactured IED in a mosque, is going to blow in their faces.

    On the PLUS side, Glenn, a strict implementation of Resolution 16/18, and its more recent resolution 25/L.41, would cause the Koran and the Hadiths to be banned, on the grounds that they incorporate “intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief”

    But then, this will not happen ANYWAY, because the UN HRC is probably not going to be around for much longer. It is just one or two steps away from following its predecessor – the UN Commision on Human Rights – and being disbanded. The UN Executive are sick and tired of their bias and polticial corruption. (just as they where with the UNCHR).

    Many Muslims in France are practicing Islam-à-la-carte or cafeteria Islam. Theirs is a laid-back, wine-swilling Islam, rather than Salafism.

    With the huge Muslim population, France should apply RATIONAL THOUGHT to deprogramming Muslims RIGHT OUT OF ISLAM.

    It will take government money to fund such a program. It must be top secret and it must be very determined and relentless. They government must find ways to get the message out to Muslims worldwide that Islam is immoral, obscurantist, opposed to modernity, backward, unhistoric, intellectually dishonest and totally false.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 19, 2015 at 10:16 pm

      Mortimer, I have asked you this many times before: why would pious Muslims listen to the “filthy Kuffar”?

      And Muslims disdain reason, so the don’t care if Islam is shown to be irrational.

      Have Infidels *ever* been able to “deprogram” Muslimshistorically? Not, alas, that I have seen.

    • Oppressaphobe says

      Dec 20, 2015 at 9:30 am

      Well for basic starters, if you want reform, every reform has like three ingredients:

      Victims of the established way

      An oppressor that has become entrenched over time

      And an enlightened individual or a REFORMER

      Just look at a few examples of this: Catholicism, victim catholics, pope oppressor, martin luther reformer.
      Civil rights: victim blacks, oppressor rich whites, reformer martin luther king.

      SO PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

      VICTIMS; HEADSCARF WEARING MUSLIM WOMEN AMONGST OTHERS

      OPPRESSOR: ???? THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED. MY GUESS WOULD BE AN ENTIRE CABAL OF GLOBALISTIC LEADERS, (might as well include barach and Hillary in this category)

      REFORMER: THIS COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF PEOPLE I’M SURE BUT UNTIL YOU ANSWER WHO IS THE OPPRESSOR, YOU CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

      You gotta have a church door to nail the thesis to it!!! Westerners are not likely to understand the political structure of the middle east but anybody learned, like the UN, should automatically know who are the oppressors of these poor peon muslims who live this horrid life–they don’t know anything different and I think Obama wants them to mix up with America and change them, but he is being totally dishonest to Americans in the process.

      As I have said before, my belief is that the globalists crowd is at the bottom of this deception of people and it is being allowed as a method of controlling musllims.

      Unitl the average muslim begins to feel like the puppet that they are, nothing will change.

      Any strategy to change this must penetrate the veil and expose the wizard behind the curtain.

      Its’ just that simple. We could start the process right here, right now. The problem is that you can’t have just one person saying it, then they target that one.

      But if everyone says it, they can’t stop us–the ol maxim united we stand will apply.

  13. mortimer says

    Dec 19, 2015 at 8:40 pm

    Eventually, one Muslim in six will have to wear a bracelet to keep us safe.

    We will have to give all Muslims LIE DETECTOR TESTS to determine who is a terrorist supporter.

    If they won’t wear a bracelet, they will have the option of leaving.

    France: Muslim group sues over “illegal” post-Paris anti-terror police raids
    ……………………….

    Of course–Muslims don’t want the French or any other “filthy Infidels” to be able to do anything to defend against violent Jihad.

    • Midway says

      Dec 20, 2015 at 4:06 pm

      Over 10% of France is Muslim with neighborhoods that have ‘no go zones’ & enforce Sharia Law. There aren’t enough mosques for the expanding Muslim population so the pray on the streets, blocking all traffic. Saudi Aribia & it’s neighbor’s won’t have regugee camps, rather they encourage Muslims to invade the west & they’ll fund the building of the mosques. Europe in reality is no more

    If they don’t win their claim ( in suing ) they should be deported.

    • Midway says

      Dec 20, 2015 at 4:10 pm

      Arabs won’t rat on each other. If someone engages in a terrorist act, the whole family should be deported to the s***hole they came from. Maybe then they’ll drop a dime on the family black sheep. PC, tolerance is destroying the civilized world.

  16. Oppressaphobe says

    Dec 20, 2015 at 7:25 am

    France will cave, until there is another attack.

    See how they expose the fact that their allegiance is to allasox and NOT TO THE LAW OF THEIR NATION.

    Even if I get pulled over, of course I’m not happy but there is a part of me that understands that I don’t want speeders,or drunks and other dangers in my society and as a citizen

    I’M A LITTLE INCONVENIENCED–TOO FRIGEN BAD!!!

    PEOPLE ARE INSANE TODAY.

  17. Oppressaphobe says

    Dec 20, 2015 at 7:33 am

    AND WHAT LAWSUITS DO THE VICTIMS HAVE AGAINST THE MOSQUES?

    AGAINST THE FAMILIES THAT WERE CO CONSPIRATORS AND PROBABLY WENT FREE.

    ANY FAMILY OF A TERRORIST IS MOST LIKELY A TERRORIST. Since they don’t share western family values, this is another incident where the west applies its own values to the situation and comes up short in understanding these people.

    When are we going to learn? These families inspired, encouraged and assisted the terrorist in 99% of the cases. Why do I say that, how can we know? Well, we know by understand their family system. Don’t they live close to each other, physically? Didn’t mommy live with the California couple?

    Just apply common sense but check the law and make sure it hasn’t been outlawed yet.

  18. Midway says

    Dec 20, 2015 at 4:02 pm

    In the privacy of their homes, mosques & social circles they practice indoctrination, hate & violence without anyone knowing. Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims. Remember that next time you have to go through the horrors of security lines @ airports around the world.
