He was mentally ill, you see. No larger pattern here — although French authorities should open an inquiry into why so many Muslims are falling prey to mental illness these days, in ways that provoke them to commit acts of violence.
“French court sentences stabber of Marseille Jew to 4 years,” JTA, December 11, 2015:
A man who stabbed a Jew and assaulted two other Jews in Marseille was sentenced to four years in prison.
The Correctional Tribunal of Marseille sentenced Farid Haddouche, 32, on Wednesday for aggravated assault he committed early in the morning of October 24, the France 3 television channel reported. Haddouche’s victims — a rabbi, the rabbi’s son and another Jew who was stabbed — were returning from the synagogue when he assaulted them.
Haddouche was deemed unfit to stand trial because of mental issues following a psychiatric evaluation, but further inquiries led to his indictment later that month.
The Marseille branch of CRIF, the umbrella group of French Jewish communities, requested that police and justice officials re-examine Haddouche’s case following reports that he shouted anti-Semitic slogans during the attack. The victims told Michelle Teboul, president of the local CRIF branch, that Haddouche had deliberately targeted them because they were Jewish.
Before assaulting the Jews, the assailant, who was inebriated at the time, hurled a canister containing tear gas at a municipal employee. The rabbi and his son were lightly wounded, while the third victim sustained medium injuries.
In a court testimony, Haddouche’s mother said her son had no history of mental illness and was sane to the best of her knowledge.…
On Nov. 18 another Jew was stabbed and moderately injured in Marseille by a man who was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the symbol of the ISIS terrorist group. Police have no suspect in custody in connection with that assault.

We keep on hearing about this strange mental illness that has afflicted so many Muslims for the last fourteen centuries or so, making them violent and intolerant of anyone who is a non-Muslim or even not the ‘right sort of Muslim’. What is this mental affliction called? – Surely we must help them and build mental health asylums for them away from members of the public whose existence triggers these uncontrollable turns of unstable hatreds and tendencies towards violence against others. I hope that they can all be helped by trained professionals. It might be expensive but I doubt it will be much more expensive as the many taxpayer dollars being used through welfare for so many Muslims to have unusually large families. Perhaps the mental illnesses we are hearing about so often are a result of so many of them breeding with their first cousins, I hear that such customs and traditions can lead to all sorts of major health problems over the generations. What can we do to prevent this from getting any worse? We can’t turn a blind eye towards the health of our fellow human beings. Violent, intolerant Muslims need to be helped. a proper system of asylums to help treat their mental health problems has been urgently needed for a long time now. I even read once that the alleged-prophet Muhammad suffered from epileptic seizures and frequently had hallucinations, his mental illnesses led him to become a theocrat and a warlord who used violence and commanded violence against many people as his mental illness worsened with time. If he had the proper health resources to treat his mental illnesses, imagine how different the world might have been since then…

The ‘mental illness’ of Muslims is more based on GROUP TOXIC NARCISSISM…it’s the idea that the superior religious beliefs of Islam give Muslims a divine mission to be violent towards ‘others’.
The ‘master race’ theory of Hitlerism gave normally civilized Germans the occultist mission to be violent to non-Germans.
Political Islam is the ‘MASTER RELIGION’ theory and is similar practice to Hitlerism.

Our Western elites refuse to read Islamic source texts, and yet consider themselves Islam experts on the basis of Marxist ‘grievance’ theory alone. This is presumptuous. You would think judges would be more intellectual. However, Islam’s leaders are also ignored by Western elites, even when they spout Jew hatred with great depth and clarity.
The Grand Imam of Al Azhar University speaks for Sunnite Islam about Jew hatred…which is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
The late Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, Grand Imam of Al-azhar University wrote a 700-page treatise rationalizing Muslim Jew hatred found in Islam’s source texts.
Quotes from Andrew Bostom: “[The] Koran describes the Jews with their own particular degenerate characteristics, i.e. killing the prophets of Allah [Koran 2:61/ 3:112], corrupting His words by putting them in the wrong places, consuming the people’s wealth frivolously, refusal to distance themselves from the evil they do, and other ugly characteristics caused by their deep-rooted lasciviousness…only a minority of the Jews keep their word {Koranic citations here]….[A]ll Jews are not the same. The good ones become Muslims {Koran 3:113], the bad ones do not.”
“Tantawi was apparently rewarded for this scholarly effort by being named Grand Imam of Al-Azhar University in 1996, a position he still holds. These are the expressed, “carefully researched” views on Jews held by the nearest Muslim equivalent to a Pope—the head of the most prestigious center of Muslim learning in Sunni Islam, which represents some 90% of the world’s Muslims. And Sheikh Tantawi has not mollified such hatemongering beliefs since becoming the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar as his statements on “dialogue” (January 1998) with Jews, the Jews as “enemies of Allah, descendants of apes and pigs” (April 2002), and the legitimacy of homicide bombing of Jews (April 2002) make clear.”
“…on December 15, 1997, (Tantawi reaffirmed) his ongoing commitment to the views expressed about Jews in his Ph.D. thesis:
…anyone who avoids meeting with the enemies in order to counter their dubious claims and stick fingers into their eyes, is a coward. My stance stems from Allah’s book [the Koran], more than one-third of which deals with the Jews…[I] wrote a dissertation dealing with them [the Jews], all their false claims and their punishment by Allah. I still believe in everything written in that dissertation. [i.e., “Jews in the Koran and the Traditions”, cited above]”

The UN wants to issue a declaration against hate speech, principally targeted against the opponents of Islamic Jihad! What is the definition of this type of statement in a published book of an Islamic cleric, which he still affirms today? Or do we now have an [Islamic] UN?
Also, Obama addressed the UN General Assembly in September saying something like “…the future has no place for those who do not respect Islam or its prophet…” Should the future of sane people have a place for the Obama’s and Tantawi’s of this world?

Four years?!! Then what? We are too civilized for our own good.

Western elites need to realize Islam is toxic narcissism and must be cured by deprogramming Muslims right out of Islam.

For 4 years he gets everything for free…free rent, free food free medical care, i and he gets to mingle with interesting and stimulating people. When he gets out he will be a better jihadist than when he went in…

So now the judges in Israel have a sentencing standard for all the Jew-stabbers set to go on trial there: 4 years. That should be long enough for them to memorize the Holy Ko-Ran and emerge as Hafiz Mujahadin parolees.

Weren’t these guys using Downs kids as suicide bombers?
Strap a remotely controlled device on a kid and tell them to “go over there”.
Now, that is criminally insane.
Mohamedism is mad.

I wonder how many years would get a jew that will stab the judge ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Islam is a mental illness.
Knowing that Muslims want sharia is the west, the west should accommodate them is certain circumstances, such as this one – his punishment should be the 4 years in prison ( which is the law of the west ) and he should be stabbed in the same manner in which he stabbed the victim ( which is the “eye for an eye” punishment under sharia )

France: Muslim who stabbed rabbi gets four years
……………………
A few months of prison Da’wa and this fine Mohammedan will be out stabbing Jews again.
If he is “mentally ill” then why isn’t he getting any treatment? Not that it would help, of course.
In the US, if someone is found mentally unfit to stand trial, they are remanded to a mental health facility until such time as they are found sane enough for release–which sometimes means *never*.

Unfortunately this Mo-slime is never going to be cured of his mental illness. They are born this way and die this way. Not enough mental health facilities in the world to house these degenerates.

Anyone who commits violence in the name of religion is unhinged to be sure. But in the light of ISIS and Al-Quaeda inspiring such attacks by any media at their disposal this nut case’s act should be regarded as a terrorist incident. It’s no different than Hitler inspiring the Brown Shirts to terrorize Germany in the 1930s.

“Haddouche was deemed unfit to stand trial because of mental issues following a psychiatric evaluation…”
Closer examination may reveal that the “psychiatrist” who did this “evaluation” is a Jihadist!!!
