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

French interior minister refuses to confirm that Nice killer was a jihadi, says his motives aren’t yet established

Jul 15, 2016 5:07 pm By Robert Spencer

How many times is this absurd comic opera going to be repeated? He was screaming “Allahu akbar” as he murdered people. Jihadis worldwide are celebrating. The mass murder was perpetrated in a way that global jihad groups have called for the mass murder of civilians specifically in France.

How long are the political and media elites going to play this game? As long as they do, the enemy in this long war will continue to advance.

Bernard-Cazeneuve

“France killer’s motives not yet established: interior minister,” Reuters, July 15, 2016:

PARIS (Reuters) – French investigators have not yet established whether the truck driver who killed at least 84 people by plowing through a crowd in Nice late on Thursday was inspired by jihadist messages, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

“We have an individual who was not known to intelligence services for activities linked to radical Islam,” Cazeneuve told broadcaster TF1.

Asked if he could confirm the attacker’s motives were linked to jihadism, he said: “No”.

    Soon some stupid politician / official will say ‘ this has nothing to do with Islam’.

    Every Muslim is a jihadi – we don’t need any confirmation of the motives s these are obvious!!

      It’s still in flux. Let’s hope our ‘governments’ know which side to take.

      Erdog is trying to get his supporters out, so there’s still some stuff to do.

        Erdogan could be backed by the EU or NATO. I hope we stay well out of this one.

          I wouldn’t worry about NATO or EU interference. Regardless of whatever side they support, and outside limp-wristed claims about “stay calm, maintain peace”, they’ll do nothing.

    The Joooooooos made the driver’s cornflakes go soggy so he unleashed his inner Mohammed and drove into a large peaceful crowd. It’s always the Jooooooooos fault.

      No, this petty criminal had decided to claim his 72 virgins when he was down n out, just like the many similar lone-wolf attack cases. The Western leaders stupidly refuse to see things from this angle.

    This mirrors the Obama narrative about the killing of five white police officers in Dallas last week. Yes, the doofus now occupying the Oval Office has asserted that we still don’t know the motives of the black racist who killed those five white cops and who also grievously wounded many others.

    The West is presently led by fools, in the political realm, the media and in academia. One knows this by now or should know it. Frankly, I have lost patience with those who don’t. I would contend that I am fully justified in this absence of patience. I mean, after all, idiocy should be tolerated to a certain degree and then no more. No?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The willful blindness is staggering–yet not surprising, since stating this sad and dangerous narrative has become the norm among world leaders. Jeez I’ve lost count to how many Dhimmi Leaders there are, including, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.

      “How many times is this absurd comic opera going to be repeated?”

      Sad to say, gravenimage, many more times. In fact, I predict a nauseatingly number of times, replete with untold numbers of future deaths and maiming of all kinds aplenty. I take no joy in stating this but I also have NO reason to conclude otherwise because mankind right now is confronted by not one, but two, giant errors. The first is Islam. The second is willful ignorance of Islam.

      A double whammy to be sure. And the repercussions will continue for a long time to come due to these two massive stupidities. Count on it and take due precautions to the extent that due precautions can be taken. Just sayin’.

      My God, Islam is horrible. But so is continued exculpation of Islam. Well, that double whammy I already mentioned.

    I read on another news site that the truck driver had previously been convicted for a “ROAD RAGE” incident. so there you have it, the motive the media will spin is this horrific attack was really a massive road rage incident that just happened to incorporate mass murder. Nothing to do with Islam, move along now.

    Jul 15, 2016 at 9:13 pm

    It’s par for the course for politicians and media to try and convince us that every attack by a moslem shouting allah akbar is not islamic related.

  11. eduardo odraude says

    Jul 15, 2016 at 9:26 pm

    Part of this is the usual political correctness and fearful self-censorship about Islam. But part of it is about being a nation of laws. A nation of laws proceeds deliberately and gives due process. We don’t use what seems obvious to decide cases. We go by deliberation and due process. Admittedly, in war deliberation and due process can sometimes face exceptions (study Lincoln, for example).

    But anyway, check out this great video: Gingrich just said we are in a war, and every Muslim here should be tested to see if they adhere to Sharia law. If they do, they should be deported, he says:

    “His motives aren’t YET established” is the standard statement to duck the real answer that Islam encourages violence/murder/rape and that a handful of people take the onus of doing the dirty job and rest of Islamic world may just watch or dance as on 9/11. This also means that the road has come to a dead end.Nothing more will be known about the motives..

    Islamist have a enabling hand in social media where they have their own assembly and mentors giving them a helping hand (like ISIS). Facebook etc must be held accountable for all the loss of lives.

    The French have to understand that wine and cheese is NOT everything in life and that they are marked to be killed for being whatever they are..That is Islam for you. When you open your windows to the world (In the name of globalization) YOU also let in unwanted creeps and elements.

    The Leftists have brought the nations to this sorry state.The world has been very busy doing business for ages and keeping their flock well fed and happy-without destroying their identity or demography. The Leftists have conned the world into the thought that Globalization is their mantra.

    Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were interviewed regarding the terrorist attack in Nice. Compare their responses for yourself.

      Did anyone notice that Hillary said that (as POTUS) she would have some investigators READ and determine the “agenda” of the terrorists? Read What?

      Hold the phone, liberals and European leaders, cause Hillary’s going to find the central agenda driving all the mayhem and then y’all have to stop lying about unknown motives.

      Another fib? I think were going to need a de-fib-ulator.

    Are the leaders (small l intended) trying not to give muslims credit, thus taking away their victory, in other words p!ss them off? That could be the reason they won’t acknowledge what the rest of us know. If that’s not the reason, then they’re just apologists for the ‘religion’ of garbage. I kind of wish they didn’t kill the terrorists at the time but let them be killed later by a woman so (in their feeble mind) they know they won’t go to paradise and get 72 virgins (probably boys anyway).
    His wife’s cousin saying he’s not muslim, just a sh..! because he ate pork and didn’t go to the mosk. News flash dearie, not eating pork and not going to the mosk does NOT a non-muslim make. He was muslim alright. Only muslims murder for the moon god shyte and enjoy it.
    Ten children dead in this latest mass murder,TEN little innocent lives and we do nothing about it. Why?

    It is mainly because they are trying to avoid the conclusion that there IS a huge group of jihadis that can sprout up from ANYWHERE – the rest of us were convinced about that reality many moons ago – they just want to try & keep us all quiet ! We all know what the score is – the followers of Islam are quiet until they are NOT – it only takes a second for one of them to become a budding jihadi, and there are millions of those almost-jihadis out there. I don’t think they are all hate-filled monsters at all, they are mostly just Muslims born into the faith, plodding along making a living, until something triggers their interest in extremist activity – trouble is we have no idea who to trust, who to believe, who to be wary of. I wish there were some test we could use to discover MOTIVE – but so far there is no way to scan a person’s brain to discover if they are dangerous. THAT is what we need asap ! At least if the FBI or police have a record of something suspect you would think they would keep an eye on those guys !!!

      When Muslims are peacefuly breeding and expanding propertywise, and businesswise and everythingwise, that is their Jihad. All is jihad. There is nothing that is not jihad, all agree on that, there are none that disagree

    “French interior minister refuses to confirm that Nice killer was a jihadi, says his motives aren’t yet established”

    HILARIOUS!
    ==========

    Well, several things *are certain*:
    1) This wont change our way of life, not one bit, our culture!
    2) Je Suis Nica!
    3) We will have a candle procession!
    4) Condolences and assurances of solidarity will rain down!

    The jihadis and their fellow Muslims will be terrified by such stern and determined rebuke.

    And we show our moral superiority by **not** permitting any backlash, or even the faintest bit of what could, conceivably, be offensive to our beloved and adored Muslim Overlords, sorry, “friends”. Refugees.

    Now, let us all express our outrage at a church choir which had the audacity to sing a hymn to Jesus! Those bloody Nazis! A suitable, lengthy note of expression will be send to representatives of the local Muslim community, in which we seek their forgiveness for the offense committed, and any trauma caused by singing such hymn. Yes, shockingly enough, it could even be heard outside the church, a few meters away. Without care and consideration for the Muslim community, a mere 20km away, the choir left the church door open. This will of course be investigated, the Secular Society of GB has already voiced is concern about the affront and resultant psychological damage.

    The political class in the West will continue to deceive themselves. As the Jihadist kill more people they will have more reasons to distance the killers from terrorist Islamic acts. Who rejoices over their ignorance, the Muslim terrorist, while innocent people are dying. Today a lorry was used, tomorrow may be an axe and the justification continues by not realizing that they all operate from a common code called Koran!

  27. Andy Halmay says

    Jul 16, 2016 at 11:07 pm

    The next time some government official or law officer anywhere in the world comes out with that lunatic statement that they need to establish WHY the terrorist is a terrorist, please, please, please, whoever is near that man or woman, answer the world prayer and assassinate the dolt.
