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

“Frenchman” arrested in “advanced stages” of terror plot

Mar 24, 2016 7:21 pm By Robert Spencer

The Associated Press wouldn’t dream of informing its readers about exactly what kind of “terror attack plot” this “Frenchman” was in the “advanced stages” of executing, but since Cazeneuve said there were no links “at this stage” between the November Paris jihad attacks and the ones in Brussels Tuesday, he seems to be leaving the door open for such links to be discovered upon further investigation. That makes it likely that this was yet another jihad plot, one of many in an ongoing and widening war against Europe and the U.S., and the AP has us reading tea leaves to try to figure out what exactly is going on here.

Also, this jihad plotter almost certainly does not think of himself as a “Frenchman,” even if he was born and raised in France. Location does not confer identity, much as the mainstream media assumes otherwise. This man almost certainly thinks of himself as a member of the worldwide umma, and has contempt for France and genuine Frenchman — French society, he almost certainly believes, is just so much jahiliyya, the worthless society of unbelievers. But AP will never tell you that.

Islamic State message to France

“France arrests man in ‘advanced stages’ of terror attack plot,” Associated Press, March 24, 2016:

A Frenchman in the “advanced stages” of a plot to attack the country was arrested Thursday northwest of Paris, and security forces locked down the area during a major search, France’s interior minister said.

Bernard Cazeneuve said there were no links “at this stage” between the plot and the attacks against Brussels this week or Paris in November.

Cazeneuve said bomb squads were on site. The raid took place in Argenteuil, on the northern outskirts of the capital. He said the person arrested was implicated at a “high level” in the plot, but offered no details.

Witnesses told France’s i-Tele network that the immediate area had been locked down and that residents were unable to return home….

    Thanks to the “regime change” exploits that the US and Nato performed in Iraq, in Libya and in Syria expect the islamic jihad terrorists which has now taken control of all those countries to increase their violent jihadist activities against West in the coming months and years.

      “Thanks to the “regime change” exploits that the US and Nato performed in Iraq, in Libya and in Syria”

      Changed from whom to whom? And Syria, really? How long has Assad been in power?

      Look, if you’re going say such blatant lies, don’t expect to be taken seriously.

      “expect the islamic jihad terrorists which has now taken control of all those countries to increase their violent jihadist activities against West in the coming months and years.”

      The implication being that as long the West doesn’t interfere in muslim countries there’s no jihad against the West. Which is demonstrably false. Go read a book on islam – you could use to learn a thing or fifty.

        The implication rather being that it might be wise to let dictators do the dirty job to annihilate jihadi groups instead of “social engineer” tribal societies into “democracies”.

      • Westman says

        Mar 25, 2016 at 10:34 am

        I think Christianblood was pointing out that Islamic majority countries do less exporting of violence when controlled by more secular dictators and that the West’s perturbing them has caused a tremendous increase in the world’s Islamic violence; creating the vacuum for ISIS and sending thousands of militant jihad terrorists, tens of thousands of potential jihadists, and hundreds of thousands of jihad sympathizers into Europe – many from Syria.

        True, there has been no regime change in Syria, yet the attempt to change the regime has led to the largest crisis for Europe. That the US government has been the prime entity, lacking a true understanding of Islamic religion, language, and culture, pounding upon the hornet’s nest of the ME cannot be denied, even if justified.

        The rejection of informed advisors, like Robert Spencer, has led to costly, serious mistakes; the worst of which was expecting Democracy to flourish within people who want Sharia.

        Sadly, I think Christianblood is right about the increasing jihad activities. Based on the current step-up rate, 4 or 5 terrorist attacks in Europe, on the order of Paris and Brussels, are likely in 2016.

          There would be no ISIS without the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

    This media distraction is common now across the globe. Muslim terrorists are cleverly couched in terms of the nationality of the country they have invaded. This intentional confusion is meant to confuse citizens about the identity of the enemy, hide the enemies motivations and purposes, and to give the government elitists more justification for eliminating the civil rights of all citizens in the name of greater security. Those citizens with political viewpoints in opposition to the ruling political elite are called terrorists and extremists. .They are punished and monitored with greater energy than the muslim terrorists. The US media declared it was a “California man” that was responsible for the latest round of Allah-inspired murder and mayhem in that State. The result, Obama attacks fundamental Constitutional civil rights and, for example, is now dedicating more FBI resources to snoop around at gun shows to find or manufacture evidence of the “gun show loophole” myth than are actually tasked to track Islamic terrorists. In Germany and England, political opponents are met with greater application of police intimidation and violence than are the murdering and raping Jihadis.

      Bill said: “Muslim terrorists are cleverly couched in terms of the nationality ”

      Which reminds me of the destruction of language and with that of logical thinking.

      Nationality is one smoke screen. The other the pseudo-scientific categorization of extremists group that might differ in some minor and good luck in debating of the correct semantics of some terms rather than tacklling the problems at hand.

    I believe muslims began their attacks against the west approximately 1000 years ago and occupied southern Europe for roughly 700 years

    • SpiritOf1683 says

      Mar 25, 2016 at 4:30 am

      Actually more than 1,300 years ago, when they invaded Spain in 711 AD.

    Definition: Jahiliyyah (Arabic: جاهلية‎ ǧāhiliyyah/jāhilīyah “ignorance”) is an Islamic concept of “ignorance of divine guidance” or “the state of ignorance of the guidance from God” or “Days of Ignorance” referring to the barbaric condition in which Arabs found themselves in pre-Islamic Arabia..Today it is used by Muslims to describe the unbelieving, corrupt, worthless, West.

    Isn’t it amazing! Muhammad took unorganized Arabian barbarism and reformed it into organized barbarism; becoming the first “Don” of Militant Islam to claim divine appointment. Like the Italian Mafia, Islam needs some respect in the form of extorting dhimmi protection money. With some martyrdom the umma can become “made men”, drinking, eating and all the carnal pleasure a man could want. Women need not apply except as pleasure property.

    This poor “Frenchman” just wanted to be a made man for Allah. Perhaps somebody will speed up the process?

    • mortimer says

      Mar 25, 2016 at 5:08 am

      An excellent, true analysis. That is an exact parallel. I believe the Mafia learned their techniques and structure from the Muslims who invaded Sicily and Calabria on the principle of fighting fire with fire.

      They eventually were able to repel the Muslims. The Italians will no doubt encourage the Mafia once again if the Italian government doesn’t listen to them and stop the present invasion.

    Europe is done and we are watching them burn. I have wondered all my lifetime when they would be punished for the Holocaust and the increasingly virulent and ugly anti-semitism espoused by both the left and the right. Looks like now. I am watching without pity.

    Islam in advanced stages of denial.

    Good Morning Muslim world.
    It is 10 AM March 25 and sizzling hot in sunny Mecca.
    But it is about to get much hotter.
    We are about to have a Qur’an bonfire to shed some light on Islam’s darkness.

    Why get angry Muslims.
    You claim Allah is greater.
    Why do you need to claim that you will “defend Islam”.
    This is a certain admission that you Muslims are fully aware that allowing a Qur’an to be burned will prove that Allah has no power at all.

    That is the real reason that Muslims get angry.
    INSECURITY that the world will discover Allah is a JOKE.

    Allah I slap your worthless face.
    What is Allah going to do about that.
    Right now Allah.
    Bring it on.
    Allah cannot do a thing on his own — PROOF
    Allah you ain’t nothing but a hoax.

    The suspect may nominally be characterized as a “Frenchman,” but, I assure you that he’s about as “French” as a slice of pizza.

    These fascist jackboots have no allegiance to State or nationality, only to their hate-filled Koran and its fascistic instructions to kill or subjugate non-Muslims.

  9. Guy Jones says

    Mar 25, 2016 at 5:23 am

    Also, I’m finding this trend and attitude of media and politicians blaming host countries for allegedly failing to make sufficient efforts to “integrate” and “assimilate” Muslim immigrants into societies just nauseating in the incredible ignorance that they represent. The problem is “Submission’s” supremacist teachings and its hate-filled tenets, which stand in direct contravention to western secular democratic values — not, the host countries’ efforts to coddle Muslim immigrants.

    The ignorance that the media and politicians evince with respect to “Submission’s” teachings, history and inherently fascistic tenor never cease to amaze. The west is in a collective stupor.

    Journalists and editors have not read the foundational, source texts of Islam, and yet, they present themselves preposterously as experts on Islam, terror and jihad. How can that be except by ignoring the very principles of journalism and making up dishonest stories with erroneous, inaccurate conclusions?

    Surely, we deserve a better standard of journalism than that! Journalists and editors, please read the Islamic source texts.

  11. UNCLE VLADDI says

    So to group-rights owrshipping lefty gangsters, if it wasn’t an ORGANIZED CRIME – if no links can be found to “al Quaeda,” :The Teliban,” “Nusra Front,” “Boko Haram,” or “ISILam,” THEN NO CRIME OCCURRED!

    Imagine cops adopting this ‘strategy’ at the local level:

    “I’m sorry, sir – but the gang who broke into your home, assaulted your children and raped your wife, stealing all your possessions, had no ties to The MAFIA – so no crime occurred, so we had to let them all go!”
