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

France: Muslims “angry over Syria bombings” stab soldier with box cutter

May 27, 2016 8:53 am By Robert Spencer

The attackers could be non-Muslim Leftists, but in light of the fact that the Islamic State has explicitly called for the stabbing of soldiers in the context of revenge for the French bombings in Syria, it seems more likely that they’re Islamic jihadists. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawāghīt. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

French soldiers

“French soldier knifed by men ‘angry over Syria bombings,'” The Local, May 27, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

With France still on heightened alert for terror attacks the latest unprovoked attack on a member of the country’s armed forces will be of huge concern to authorities.

According to a report in L’Express newspaper the soldier, who was dressed in military attire but not on duty at the time, was attacked on Thursday evening in the town of Saint-Julien-du Puy, in the Tarn area of southern France.

The victim, from the 8th parachute regiment based in Castres was punched and then knifed with a box cutter by two individuals as he was training, a source from the Gendarmes – France’s military police, told Europe1 radio.

“One of them was carrying box cutter. They attacked the soldier and spoke about the situation in the Middle East,” said the source.

The source said the two attackers reproached the soldier for “France’s bombing raids in Syria”.

The victim was taken to hospital in a serious condition, but his life is not believed to be in danger. The two attackers are still on the run.

It’s not the first time French soldiers have been attacked on the streets of France for motives apparently linked to the situation in the Middle East.

Only last month a soldier on patrol in the east of the country was sliced by an “Arabic speaking man” wielding a box cutter.

In January a driver deliberately accelerated his car, a Peugeot station wagon, as he headed towards four soldiers in a car park outside a large mosque.

Investigators found “jihadist propaganda images” on a computer at the man’s home, and the assailant reportedly said the words “Allah is great” during the attack.

There was no indication the suspect was a member of any terror organisation.

In February 2015 a knife-wielding man attacked soldiers patrolling Nice.

    Right, it’s not like he could have simply heard the call to arms his from caliph and decided to act on it – unless he’s officially and expressly linked to a terror group it must have been a bout of “random insanity”…

    How long ’till ramadan?

      “There was no indication the suspect was a member of any terror organisation.” Of course, there was evidence that he was a member of a terror group, as he is a muslim. Islam is a terrorist religion, so every member is a terrorist. Just as every member of the Nation of Islam is a Black supremacist who hates Whites and America.

    “… huge concern to authorities” ?

    Oh, I really don’t think so. All the ‘authorities’ are concerned with is that the poor, precious, sensitive mohammedans shouldn’t suffer any mythical ‘backlash’.

    It’s about time they did.

    Put a stern full stop in accepting refugees. Ask Saudi Arabia or Quwait to accept these refugees. These type of ruffians should have no refuge in the civilized world! Or put all the refugees in some far away island, in one place, so that they do not mingle with the civilized society and create a mayhem! Again I repeat, be humane, be considerate, be lover of mankind, et all, but at the same time beware of Satans in the form of refugees whose only agenda is to convert Dar-Ul-Harab (place ruled by non Muslims, and hence a Hell!) into Dar-Ul-Islam (place ruled by Muslims, and therefore a Heaven!). Being humane to refugees should never be seen as a sign of weakness! Deal with them sternly, if they misbehave, and deport them to their own land, even if required, forcibly!

    If he was a Mohamedan, he was a member of a terrorist organization.

    Attacking soldiers = act of war.

    A Mohammedan, in any majority infidel country, who openly attacks the uniformed soldiers of that country (this French soldiers was in uniform – ‘military attire’ – when attacked), is engaging in an act of war.

    Such a Mohammedan, by that act, has identified himself as an enemy combatant.

    Infidel soldiers should be given ‘the keys of the city’ and permitted to carry their regulation weapon at all times, on or off duty; and then, when and if mohammedans attack them, said mohammedans can be treated as enemy combatants and …dealt with.

    Recently, a French Jewish woman made aliyah to Israel; quite probably prompted by the rising level of threats toward and actual attacks upon Jews in France, the vast majority of which threats and attacks are perpetrated by the Mohammedan Fifth Column on French soil. Being of an age and level of fitness so to do, upon arriving in Israel she marched straight down to the IDF and signed up, and received her basic training.

    She, with another young soldier, was then assigned to guard duty somewhere in Jerusalem. A murderous mohammedan – since Israel too, alas, has this Fifth Column in their midst – attacked her colleague. Our young French Jewish lady, now Israeli, did not hesitate. Her training kicked in and BOOM! she shot the Mohammedan, and killed him. Good on her.

    Soldiers of other infidel countries, now having to worry about being sneak-attacked by mohammedans if you wear your uniform in public in your own homelands… take note. Time to ask for procedures and regulations to be revised so that instead of being forced to be sitting ducks you can behave like the warriors you are.
