The Qur’an? What? Didn’t these jihadis know that jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam? No doubt Khizr Khan is on his way to France right now to explain to Muslims there the true, peaceful Islam.
“France church attackers ‘smiled’ and spoke of Quran,” AFP, July 30, 2016:
One of the militants who murdered an elderly French priest smiled as he carried out the attack, and nuns who witnessed the grisly murder said the killers spoke about the Quran.
The two nuns who were in the church when Father Jacques Hamel was killed, his throat slit on the altar, said the men appeared aggressive and nervous during the attack at the Eglise Saint-Etienne in Normandy on July 26.
Then, one of the attackers seemed pleased.
“I got a smile from the second (man). Not a smile of triumph, but a soft smile, that of someone who is happy,” nun Sister Huguette Peron told Catholic newspaper La Vie on Friday.
Abdel Malik Petitjean and Adel Kermiche, both 19, had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and both were killed by police in the shock attack.
The men stormed the 17th-century stone church during mass in the town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, taking several hostages before killing the priest and seriously wounding another captive.
One nun fled the scene and alerted the police, leaving Sister Huguette and Sister Helene Decaux, both in their 80s, in the church with the militants.
At one point, Sister Helene got tired and asked to sit down.
“I asked for my my cane, he gave it to me,” she said.
Then the men started talking about religion, asking the nun if she was familiar with the Quran.
“Yes, I respect it like I respect the Bible, I’ve read several suras. And those that hit me in particular are the suras about peace,” Sister Helene responded….
Why Sister Helene respects a book that says she is an “unbeliever” for believing in the divinity of Christ (Qur’an 5:17, 5:72) and under a divine curse for believing Jesus is the Son of God (Qur’an 9:30), she did not explain.

If she’d quoted the bit about killing one person is like killing the whole of mankind, then would he have thrown down his knife and surrendered to justice.
Then she could’ve forgiven him and he would help deradicalize other young jihadis and the Pope would start an interfaith thingy, and Angela Merkel would cheer and… oh, sorry, wrong religion.

Our right to peace and freedom is not subservient to muslims’ quest of slaughter and conquest for a demon god. If we don’t act against islam we are encouraging immorality and cruelty against humanity. We the people don’t have to cater to muslim’s religious hatred for us “infidels.” We’re the ones with the superior morality, their’s is one of bigotry for selfish and immoral reasons. F*ck muslims and their ugly mosques filled with hateful, violent ideas against us, their fake religion is a war-like attack on our constitution, freedoms, and culture.
The muslim god allah loves and honors violence and war, condones bigotry and murder against non-muslims, rape and slavery, misogyny, murder of homosexuals, child rape, terror against unbelievers and apostates–islam is an obscene denial of basic human rights. It does not matter that this ideology is in the name of some god, it’s evil, violent, and totally contrary to western values and democracy. We don’t have to respect islam, it’s more conspiratorial and dangerous than any foreign spies stealing state secrets. Anyone that excuses islam is defending an ideology that threaten’s our nation’s security. It’s literally aiding the enemy to defend the spread of islam in our nation.
The material results of allowing in islam has been the methodical destruction of Europe and the entire west. History has already taught us the Trojan Horse, but we have not heeded the message. Muslims have rolled their “religion of peace” right under our gullible noses, and if we don’t act now the result will be as predictable as the fall of Troy.

Mohammed did say, “I am the one who smiles while he kills”.
That is why these cockroaches are always grinning from ear to ear when they’re holding up the severed heads in their propaganda photos…though I’m sure everyone here was already aware of that.

True, Corey:
This is taken from the Tafseer al-Badhawi for Surah Muhammad and Tafseer ul-Saadi (Nasir ibn Muhammad al-Saadi)
Ibn Taymiyyah, Siyaasah Shariah, Vol.1, P18, – quotes the battle of zaat ul-Salaasil where the Messenger of Allah (saw) said; annal dahooq al-Qattaal (I am the one who smiles when he kills).
*Ugh*.

You know the drill – “nothing to do with islam, which is a religion of peace”, etc…

France: Muslims who murdered priest smiled, asked hostage nun if she was familiar with the Qur’an

Sick sack of sh*t.

………………………..
Maybe Sister Helene was trying to charm the Jihadists and distract them from murdering the rest of their victims, like a hostage asking a bank robber about his mother.
Maybe she really is a such a hopeless dhimmi. Hard to tell from the above.

The pope says we should not equate Islam with evil. He says he reads every day about Catholics committing crimes. Is he really that simple-minded?
Perhaps these Catholic criminals are identified by their shouts of “Praise Jesus” in Latin as they commit their crimes?
Maybe they are choking people using rosaries to do the deed?
Executing people for eating meat on Friday?

1 –” the men appeared aggressive and nervous during the attack”
2 — “Then, one of the attackers seemed pleased.”
This is classic thrill-kill 101 behavior.
It is much like When Muhammad had the 900 victims of Medina bound and helpless.
Then Muhammad became brave, even fearless.

And only 19 years old. What a sad commentary on his religion.

I think you are too quick to criticise this terrified elderly nun. It sounds to me that she was trying to talk them down from their thrill-kill and prevent more unnecessary deaths. The poor old woman is a hero for having the courage to even speak at a time like that.

I agree with you AA. If she could stall for even a few minutes, help might arrive.

Dacritic says
Why “Sister” Helene says she respects the Quran? Because Christians, like Jay Smith mentioned, are most of the time correctly thought of by Muslims as weak, timid, knows little, can defend little.
It is time Christians shake these tags off and start studying both their own Bible and the Quran. It is time Christians wake up en masse and make a bloody stand for themselves.
Like what Robert Spencer is doing here.
Rev g says
And yet most Muslims have no idea what their own Quran says, having only learned to recite the words, similar to the old Latin mass. Pot meet kettle.
