This happened on the first anniversary of the jihad massacre at Charlie Hebdo, and Paris police, the keen students of the criminal mind that they are, have deduced that the incident was “more likely” terrorism than just ordinary criminality.
“Man with knife shot dead at Paris police station on Hebdo anniversary,” Associated Press, January 7, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):
Officers shot and killed a knife-wielding man with wires protruding from his clothes at a police station in northern Paris on Thursday, French officials said, a year to the day after an attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
Luc Poignant, a police union official, said the man cried out “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.”
Just a few minutes earlier, elsewhere in the city, French President Francois Hollande had finished paying homage to police officers killed in the line of duty, including three shot to death in the attacks last January.
A Paris police official said police were investigating the incident at the Paris police station Thursday as “more likely terrorism” than a standard criminal act….
That’s really going out on a limb there, buddy! The guy is screaming “Allahu akbar” and brandishing a knife, and you think it is “more likely terrorism” than standard criminality? What a daring and audacious conclusion!
The neighborhood in the Goutte d’Or district of northern Paris was locked down after the shooting….
Hollande especially called for better surveillance of “radicalized” citizens who have joined Islamic State or other militant groups in Syria and Iraq when they return to France.
“We must be able to force these people — and only these people — to fulfill certain obligations and if necessary to put them under house arrest … because they are dangerous,” he said….
Why should they be allowed to return at all? The Islamic State has declared war on France, and they are combatants in that war.
Cartoonist Laurent Sourisseau, editor in chief of Charlie Hebdo, who is known as Riss, told France Inter radio “security is a new expense for the newspaper budget.”
“This past year we’ve had to invest nearly 2 million euros to secure our office, which is an enormous sum,” he said. “We have to spend hundreds of thousands on surveillance of our offices, which wasn’t previously in Charlie’s budget, but we had an obligation so that employees feel safe and can work safely.”
After the attacks, people around the world embraced the expression “Je suis Charlie” to express solidarity with the slain journalists, targeted for the paper’s caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
“It’s a phrase that was used during the march as a sign of emotion or resistance to terrorism,” Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Corinne Rey — known as Coco — told France Inter radio. “And little by little, I realized that ‘I am Charlie’ was misused for so many things. And now I don’t really know what it means.”
There’s your problem right there, Coco.

Was it Inspector Clouseau that figured it out ?

did they shoot him with R2D2 ?!
what the heck is that thing
David Scoltock says
It’s an EOD robot checking to see if the corpse was wired to blow…….
gravenimage says
Very true, David. The Jihadist had “wires protruding from his clothes”–which meant he either had on a suicide bomb vest, or else wanted his victims to think he had.
parousia says
Parisian, adult Ahmed Mohammed methinks
Angemon says
Indeed. It turned out, he didn’t have a bomb vest – it was just a way to “strike terror into the hearts of non-believers”.
Sam Hawkins says
LOL, the robot is like, “tulibob bipalip … squeee … [badman won’t drop gun] … KA-BLAMMO!”
Armed robot deserves a medal.

Paris: Muslim brandishing knife and screaming “Allahu akbar” shot dead outside police station

……………………..
Hey, this somewhat better than usual, where police and security will confidently confirm that the incident “has nothing to do with terrorism”, even when the Jihadist in question is screaming “Allahu Akbar”, has just returned from the Islamic State, and has a 72-page Jihad manifesto on their computer…
Lionel says
Charlie Hebdo , come to Canada where its safe , no need for expensive security .Wait just found out our new prime minister is a Newley convert to Muslim and plans to replace the population with people from the Middle East . Might as well stay were you are .
MTMLA says
The Canadian people voted Trudeau into his new post of Defender of the Islamic Faith. So..I think they have a lot to be blamed for also, as here in the US people voted for BO twice!!
Singh the Sikh says
Was he one of the moderate Muslims we keep hearing about? Can the experts tell us when they cross over to the darker side? How can we possibly tell?
The radicals who radicalize the moderates are the bad guys, or so we are told. Who radicalized the radicals in the first place? What, or who is the root cause of this unceasing radicalistion we are all victims of? Have our government experts figured it out yet, and the information informing their migrTion policies? Why, time and again people from one community the world over are being radicalized constantly to the point of wanting to commit mass murder. Where the heck are the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Bhudidust radicals in adopted countries where they form significant minorities? Why aren’t they rampaging with bombs, knives and guns? Why are the murderers from only one religion, perplexingly called the religion of peace? Very confounding, all this!
MTMLA says
According to the apologists of Islam, the violent jihadis and ISIS hijacked the religion of Peace Islam. On the same token, the prophet Mohammed must have misunderstood the peaceful religion, because when you read about his life, the man was a monster, a rapist, a murderer, a pedophile, a thief, all in the name of Islam. He also must have hijacked the true nature of Islam, a peaceful religion, there cannot be any other explanation of his behaviour.
I’m reading The Truth About Mohammed, by Robert Spencer. I’m enjoying it and learning more about the “kind” prophet.Thank you for your work.
Raja says
MTMLA,
All those apologists of Islam are defending Islam either IGNORANTLY OR by LYING as they might be of the opinion that the eternally hating and venom spewing god will smoke them out.
I have known people from different continents believing in different kinds of superstition but when you mix superstition with a lying/murderous god the results can be devastating indeed.

I just heard on Fox News that this Jihadist was carrying an ISIS flag:
epistemology says
This detective is an investigative genius. On the first anniversary of Charlie Hebdo an Allahu akbar shouting, meat cleaver wielding atacks a police station. My first guess would have been, the attacker was a Buddhist monk, they are known for attacks like this one, but not the adherents of the religion of camel piss, never ever.
Although it’s so obvious the police keeps pondering for a while. Never jump into conclusions. Any observant muzzie can become a terrorist stupid morons. Wake up! We have to get rid of the muzzies in the West. No room for terrorists in our civilisation.
MTMLA says
They are following orders from the top traitors. As in Germany, the sexual assault perpetrators could not be muslims… that is horrible to accuse the poor refugees without any evidence… as per the mayor of the city and the police chief and other politicians.
Mojo says
And on the way into the office this morning, I was wondering if this was jihad or not. Oddly enough, NPR didn’t reference that the guy was Muslim or that he said anything! Nice little details to overlook.
grace begley says
They need to stop referring to it as terrorism, and start acknowleding it’s war. These bastards are only going to get worse.
mortimer says
“JIHAD IS HOLY FIGHTING in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – quoted from footnotes in Koran published in Saudi Arabia.
MTMLA says
And Saudi Arabia is a “moderate” ally of the west, mind you….and don’t you forget.. Bush walked hand in hand with the king, exchanged kisses and Obama bowed to him.Not to mention all the millions “defender of women” Hildebeast Clinton took from them.
mccode says
Shouldn’t bring a knife to a gun fight.
mortimer says
Inspector Clouseau is on the job!
Veritas says
Still being wrongly translated in the media as God is great.
It’s a good way to clamp down on ‘religious bigots’ in the west. Especially those who are constantly provoking sensitive ambassadors of the doctrine of peace with their decadent ideologies.
Allahu akbar. Hate speech..
Jan Aage Jeppesen says
Seems to me more likely that the perpetrator had mental problems and wanted to commit suicide in a spectacular way with the help of the French police.
To be terror it must be politically or religiously motivated. Acts driven by pure insanity and delusions does not quality as terror.
gravenimage says
More Muslim apologia from Jan Aage Jeppesen.
The Jihadist was screaming “Allahu Akbar!”, wired up with a fake suicide vest, waving an ISIS flag, and attacking on the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
But this creep says that there is nothing politically or religiously motivated about this, and that does not quality as terror. I would say unbelievable, but we have seen all too much of this absurd whitewash.
Mo says
@ Jan Aage Jeppesen
“To be terror it must be politically or religiously motivated. Acts driven by pure insanity and delusions does not quality as terror.”
You must’ve missed the part about him screaming the Islamic supremacist cry of “Allahu akbar”, as well as this happening on the anniversary of the slaughter.
Pay closer attention next time. You don’t want to look as foolish as you do here, do you?
Thanks for the laugh!
AG says
Couldn’t it be both? Suicide is prohibited in the Koran, while jihad is strongly encouraged. “Suicide by cop” resolves that problem.

Actually, all you need are a couple of security guards armed with AKs, AR-15s, Tec-9s or
MAC 10s. Much cheaper than 2 million a year.
Why should they be allowed to return at all? The Islamic State has declared war on France, and they are combatants in that war.
Then why not let them come back, lock them up and throw away the key? That way they can
never make war on you again.
Gene says
One less Jihadist. Now that he’s gone, France has room to import 40,000 more.
Dave J says
Europe has been a Disneyland playground for tourists from many countries, bet that goes down the tubes along with their previously civil society. Which is going to hurt those economies big-time.
Abu Al-Dente says
Judging by the fake explosive belt that guy was wearing and the attack being completely devoid of any semblance of strategy, this is most certainly a wannabe loser who sees the Islamic State as the newest fad for muslims and wanted to look cool to them.
Bunch of amateurs, I tell you.

A life extinguished in self defence, helping to make our lives a little safer; thank-you officers, it’s difficult but essential!

Good.
France can drop him off into the North Atlantic.
I hear the Great White sharks up there are getting hungry. 🙂
islam :- the hateful religion of peace says
I think the difference between a radical and a moderate Muslim is the Radical is genuine … i.e. the radical has genuine explosives ….
rappini says
I think every Jihadi should do what that raghead did, put on a fake suicide vest show a knife and yell Alla Akbar then wait for it.
MTMLA says
In 1989 I was in Paris for a month to study French and visited the local flee market a few times and was amazed to see so many Muslims, it was like I was in the ME. At the time I thought Islam was like any other religion, I was ignorant of Islam and its violence and violent history. In the subway at the notorious St Denis station our group was attacked by three tall Africans trying to steal the movie camera off of one of the members of our group. They circled him like wild coyotes circle their prey. He was filming the interior of the station and didn’t even notice the beasts circling him. Our French teacher stood up to talk to them and one of them tried to hit him. Then we all stood up and were ready to hit the scum with our backpack- we were about 12/15 people , and the creeps walked away.
