“He claimed to have acted in the name of Allah and the Islamic State, repeating several times to have done on behalf of Daech (Islamic State).” Watch for the Mayor of Marseille to announce that the attack had nothing to do with Islam.
“French Jewish Teacher Saved by Torah in ‘ISIS’ Machete Attack,” By JTA/Reuters, January 11, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
A teenager who attacked a Jewish teacher in Marseille on Monday is a Turkish citizen who said he acted in the name of the militant Islamist group Islamic State, the prosecutor in the southern French city of Marseille said.
The victim used a Torah book as a shield, according to one news website, which carried a photo of the blood-stained book. Its leather binding showed a deep cut.
“He claimed to have acted in the name of Allah and the Islamic State, repeating several times to have done on behalf of Daech (Islamic State),” the prosecutor, Brice Robin, told a news conference.
The 15 year-old, who was armed with a machete and a knife, wounded the teacher in his back and in one of his arms before being stopped and arrested.
The attack on the victim, who was wearing a kippah, occurred in daylight in front of a municipal building in the 9th district of Marseille, a police source told AFP.
According to the French Jewish news website alyaexpress-news.com, the victim is in his thirties. Identified only as Benjamin A., he was on his way to the Dvar Avraham synagogue when the attack happened, according to that website. Witnesses said the alleged assailant shouted “allah hu akbar,” Arabic for “Allah is the greatest,” before the attack, the report said. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve earlier called the attack a “brutal anti-semitic aggression.”…

Rabbi Rick Jacobs, the president of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ)
“…we met the day after Donald Trump disgraced himself by calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States. If Mr. Trump were to have his deeply offensive way, MK Odeh and all other Muslims would be barred from our ‘land of the free.’ Trump’s views offend the core teachings of Judaism and the fundamental values upon which the United States is based.”

Same here! The core of Judaism says every man has an OBLIGATION of self defense and to defend the innocent against murderers. Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. That is Judaism. You can’t serve G-d if you don’t exist. End of story. Life is precious, your life and those of other’s is not for that guy to intimidate into being freely given away to any invading Trojan horse.

Everyone knows that when Muslim numbers grow trouble follows. It is a documented FACT. Not only can terrorists be among the immigrants – they have already gained access in this way – but unless you want our country (USA) to be the next France we should work hard to keep Muslims out. We all know this. It is simple SELF PRESERVATION and it is the right thing to do. Very sorry to the Muslims who are good and reasonable but we can not take the chance to go the way of Europe. We have to be smarter – can’t get any DUMBER than the European miscreant liberal politicians who have enabled what will be the eventual destruction of Europe as we know it. Why is this naive, romantic rabbi, a Jewish man, not educated on Islam and why does he close his eyes to the fact that Muslims are big trouble and have been so for 1400 years? I am continually amazed at how willfully ignorant some Jewish clergy are

Hey Rabbi
Start thinking of protecting the jewish and Christians in America than worrying about the head cutters which promise to murder you and your family. Stop apologizing for these backwards people that you think come to the west to destroy your values. Shame on you Rabbi.

What we have here is vigilantism, vigilante injustice. In our civil western society, we have been taught to let the proper authorities deal with these types of situations. It may be possible to let that happen as long as the authorities are not delusional. Once the authorities endorse delusion innocent kufrs become victims of moslem aggression. Do we kufrs then suffer through this dhimmitude heroically silent? When government enforces suffering on the people, through its chosen replacement people, reinforced through “old fashion”, shame or isolation, labeling, name calling, with the press coconspirators in the government plan, must we then, as members of the civil society, break the chains that hold us in bondage, by responding in kind to our replacements? Should we kufrs leave the training we have been taught, to wait for the authorities to bring justice? Or shall we bring about the Forelash that the people, who fear the backlash, so deserve? Must we kufrs wait to be picked off, in the ones or twos as our brother kufrs have in moslem dominated no-go zones and no-go nations? If the political leadership and ruling elites have so little regard for we kufrs, that they are willing to sacrifice us to the god of the moslems, alla. It would seem the social contract between the governing and the will of the governed has been broken. Would kufr the be justified, for self preservation, to look upon all members of the ummah as the adversary. To save our life and our liberty. We don’t want no stinkin sharia, nor no stinkin politician that is willing to submit to sharia, or any form of moslem triumphalism! IF we revolt, how shall it be done?

More murderous antisemitism in the name of “Allah”. There was a similar attack on a Jewish man in Germany.

The victim used a Torah book as a shield, according to one news website, which carried a photo of the blood-stained book. Its leather binding showed a deep cut.

It sounds as though the Torah may have saved this man’s life. The Mohammedan assailant probably doesn’t appreciate the irony…

I’m just amazed that someone finally got the real English meaning of al******bar (can’t even type it, it’s so offensive!) right, as most people think it’s “God is Great,” but no god I know of – real or imagined – isn’t as hateful and brutal as the allah they follow.

“… Watch for the Mayor of Marseille to announce that the attack had nothing to do with Islam…”
It is a double indignity for an assault victim at the hands of a Jihadi. First there is the attack, which may maim or take his life; second comes the premature verdict that airbrushes away the motivation for the violence and shields the perpetrators religious community from scrutiny. Radical Multiculturalism, the form which has infiltrated and damaged the organs of state, like other Ideological Tyrannies, thinks nothing of the individuals ordeal, while fixated by the status of particular social and cultural groups.
Goat Pimp says
They should hold a fake Jewish parade with undercover cops and hidden cameras in all the radical areas to flush out the terrorists.

It’s waaaaay past time for multiple “Sting Ops” all over the Infidel world.
Put out that tempting “bait”…that mild-looking French rabbi in a Kippah toting his Torah scroll (but with his personal weapon concealed inside…?), that cute blonde Swedish or Danish or Norwegian or German girl in a short skirt…that openly-gay couple holding hands…that pair of young Infidel men with their beer-bottles…that little old lady walking her dog…and then…when the Mohammedan Mob moves to take the bait …BOOOOOM. Down comes a ten-tonne hammer on their heads and next minute they are immobilised (by overwhelming Infidel forces), their mobile phones are seized, they are strip searched, and sniffed all over by enormous dogs that look like they’re just itching to take a great big juicy bite from somewhere extra-tender. Their fingerprints and DNA sample are being taken and cross-checked against the “Known Criminals” and “Unsolved Crimes” database and their ID is being exhaustively cross-checked. If they’re carrying illegal weapons, or illegal drugs, or faked ID; if the sniffer dog picks up traces of illegal drugs *or* explosives; if their ID doesn’t check out; if they turn out to have committed a crime (robbery, burglary, welfare fraud, rape) in addition to the attempted lynching or attempted rape of the proffered ‘goat’; then their asylum/ refugee/ residency status should evaporate instantly. They serve the maximum sentence [to prevent ‘prison dawa’ this would be in a Muslim-only prison..but with NO halal food, NO in-house mosque, NO prayer rugs or qibla marking or any other accommodation of Islamic practices – no observation of Ramadan, for example] for any crimes they’ve already committed plus the crime they were clearly in process of committing (e.g. attempted assault/ attempted rape) and then they get given the boot, back to the dar al Islam.
Oh, forgot to add, any mosque they are found to have attended gets surprise-searched – along with all associated premises such as the imam’s house – and if anything, er, “odd” (such as traces of explosive residues or illegal drugs, weapons, evidence of manufacture of counterfeit identities, etc, or peculiar features like hidden sub-basements, tunnels, or false floors or ceilings) is detected, then it gets shut down. Permanently.
Rinse and repeat *that* a few times and the Islamic presence in many countries would a/ pull in its horns and b/ get whittled down in size quite considerably.

Rabbi Rick – I am a Christian, but I never forget that Jesus was a Jew.
Christ didn’t tell us to be “Nice” – but rather to do good. It is not good to contribute to the destruction of your own Nation.
Think a little.
Whatever your opinion of Donald Trump – he has the courage to say things that need to be considered.

By the way – I fully approve of the food and humanitarian assistance being sent to the starving Syrians caught in the war zone.

“Watch for the Mayor of Marseille to announce that the attack had nothing to do with Islam.”
Robert, could it be that the non-Muslim defenders of Islam really believe that the radical Muslim jihadists and terrorists don’t have anything to do with Islam, maybe in the same way that Christians might say that the KKK and other fringe groups have nothing to do with Christianity? I was surprised to hear Dinesh D’Souza basically saying the same thing in your debate with him on Terrorism & Extremism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um6V2imC7aQ
Is this just wishful thinking on the part of the non-Muslim defenders of Islam or do you think that they really believe it? Hopefully they are not just being deceptive and really want to see the whole world submit to Islamic law.
