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

France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabs rabbi, has “psychiatric problems”

Aug 19, 2016 8:52 am By Robert Spencer

Here we go again: another outbreak of mental illness has occurred in France.

“According to the Journal du Dimanche publication, the attacker had a history of psychiatric problems….According to Strasbourg’s chief rabbi, Rene Gutman, the attacker had carried out a similar assault six years ago on a Jew in the city. He was arrested on that occasion and placed in a psychiatric hospital, the France Bleu publication reports.”

And clearly the psychiatric treatment didn’t cure him of the will to wage jihad. But don’t be concerned: “‘The reference to Islam is worrying, but it does not reflect the current climate that exists between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Strasbourg,’ Gutman said.” Oh, good. Then we can all go back to sleep.

Strasbourg stabbing

“Jewish man stabbed in France, attacker shouts ‘Allahu Akhbar’ – reports,” RT, August 19, 2016:

A Jewish man has been stabbed by a Muslim attacker in the French city of Strasbourg, according to local media sources. He is has been taken to hospital and is in a stable condition, while the perpetrator has been arrested and is being questioned by police.

The victim, who has been named as Mr. Levy, is reported by a colleague to be a rabbi. He was stabbed by a man who shouted “Allahu Akhbar” (God is greatest), according to the 20minutes news platform.

The attack took place at around 11:00am local time (09:00 GMT). Mr. Levi [sic], who has been described as an Orthodox Jew, was sitting at a café on the sidewalk, reports Le Parisien.

“I just spoke to Mr. Levy, who was the victim of a knife attack and is condition is stable,” said Mendel Samama, who is rabbi based in Strasbourg, Le Soir reported. “We pray that he makes a quick recovery.” Reports say he suffered superficial stab wounds to the chest.

The perpetrator was detained by police and taken into custody for questioning. Witnesses say that the attacker was between 30 and 40 years old. According to the Journal du Dimanche publication, the attacker had a history of psychiatric problems.

So far, the prosecutor has only confirmed that a man has been arrested, without releasing further details regarding the case.

According to Strasbourg’s chief rabbi, Rene Gutman, the attacker had carried out a similar assault six years ago on a Jew in the city. He was arrested on that occasion and placed in a psychiatric hospital, the France Bleu publication reports.

“The reference to Islam is worrying, but it does not reflect the current climate that exists between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Strasbourg,” Gutman said….

    This whole “mental illness” thing is bigger than just needing to get Allahu Akbar in the DSM. It seems we have embraced psychological materialism without any sense of reality. Of course, human beings are influenced by the behavior of others, as well as by ideas.

      Yea, I’ve studied psychology a bit and don’t remember a disorder which causes one to repeatedly attack Jewish people.

    “The reference to Islam is worrying, but it does not reflect the current climate that exists between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Strasbourg,”

    Oh? I heard that Jews are leaving France because of the increase in anti-semitism – by muslims. Is Strasbourg somehow different on that regard? If so, why?

      Strasbourg must be one of those magical islands in space and time of the Muslim enlightenment and multi-cultural harmony we’ve all heard about, like Cordova.

      That and Chief Rabbi Gutman stands to lose parishioners if people panic.

    if this goes on the uninformed public will connect islam with insanity. I like that. One day the difference between a mosque and a lunatic asylum will be gone and asylum seeker will also have a new meaning.

    They might try and control people’s thoughts but it will backfire.

      I don’t know. If the MSM continually says something like “mental illness” over and over again it will disconnect these horrible crimes from Islam. It would be different if all the facts were reported. But I think almost any regular JW reader knows that whenever the crime involves a Muslim they do not release the perpetrator’s name!

      This is deeply troubling. The world we all live in was built on facts. The more the truth is swept under the rug the more dangerous the world we live in will be. Sadly I think it will take another 9/11 or worse before the world wakes up. It’s even sadder that we as a civilization will have to wait until things get that bad before taking action. Although our history indicates that’s precisely what we do.

        It will have to get so bad that the average person will not vote for someone who is not going to prevent/reverse the Islamization of the West. Judging by the election in London, many places are a long, long way from it– moving in the wrong direction, even. However, there are some signs of hope as in Denmark, to an extent, the popularity of Gert Wilders’s party in the Netherlands, and the results of the past Austrian election.

        Anyway, you are exactly right: it will unfortunately require much more pain, as foresight and honesty are are such a rarity.

    Islam creates psychotic episodes in the pious…It’s good to see authorities everywhere agreeing…

      I have this little theory that one of the reasons might be the prohibition on alcohol.

      Some of the most extreme characters might become harmless alcoholics, if they drank. Keeping them away from alcohol leads to other problems!

      The whole framework of Islam, the contradictions, illogic with life as it actually is, sexual frustrations, violent religious texts, and the inability to relieve that through copious drinking, might well, taken together, be an “explosive” mixture in anyone who has the slightest tendencies towards this kind of behaviour.

      The *fact* is, these “incidents” seem to happen more often with Muslims than with anyone else, so whatever else the reason is, Islam *must* be linked in there somehow: either as a promoter of mental illness, as an accelerant, via non-drinking as a tranquiliser, or as a framework that makes the resulting behaviour look normal and thus not dealt with on a collective basis. Interestingly, the majority of people remain sane within that framework, but it only takes a small minority to completely screw up a society, and so the non-actions of the majority don’t really affect the disruption all that much. The minority also needs to be taken under control.

      Thus, I’m quite happy to run with the authorities’ framing of it in “mental health” terms, but I don’t think that they would like the logical result of that line of thinking very much!

      • Anne Smith says

        Try consanguinity or to put it more simply incest. Causes much mental health instability.

    I had no idea that Jews were so plentiful in France that a “mentally disturbed” Muslim could randomly attack people on the street, in two seperate encounters, and both times the victims are determined to be Jewish. Such an amazing coincidence!

    • Georg says

      475,000 French of Jewish faith
      66,000,000 French citizens total

      475,000/60,000,000 = .007 or 0.7% chance of randomly attacking a Jewish person.

      Attacking two in a row would be a .007 ^ 2 chance, or .00005, or .005% or 1:20,000.

      Which is coincidentally, ehem, the odds President Obama was being truthful when he asserted the terrorist who attacked people in Hypercacher [Kosher] Grocery in Paris did so “randomly”. To assert the Hypercacher attack was random points to an anti-Semitism which is equally likely to exist in this guy shouting “Allahu akbar”: 19,999:20,000.

    The notorious Koran has violent verses telling muslims to hate the Jews. These scums are following their sacred text.

    Western authorities are projecting modern Western values, including godlessness, onto the rest of the world. The politically correct “we’re all the same under the skin” attitude is leaving Westerners vulnerable to murder.

    Man attacks rabbi.

    Often observed previously behaving like madman, so must be crazy.

    Witnesses say he regularly stuck his face in dirt and waved his arse in the air.

    He also headbutted ground while wailing dervish like incantations.

    He was seen doing this up to five times a day.

    Mad?

    You betcha.

    Everyone has ‘psychological problems’, “the good, the bad. and the ugly’, all have them…That does not always mean psychosis or poor behavior…
    Allahphrenia is characterized by violent outbursts usually accompanied by shouts of Allahu Akbar…Only heavy drugs and lead injections can cure this malady……

    Funny how his mental illness was exclusive to stabbing Jews.

    Evidence is in that the memorization of the hateful verses of Koran, Hadith and sira-life of Mohamed (www.cspipublishing.com/pdfs/ATwoHourKoran.pdf) at an early age (as Obama did from age 6-10 in Indonesia) creates a supremacist, narcissistic and violence- prone personalty disorder, which we witness each days as Muslims are invading Europe, Australia, and America.

    Islam also creates by its teachings sociopathic ,liars who aer skillful in taqiyya and Kitman-islamic P-principles of Lying and Cancelling, in which b. Hussein Obama is a grand master, and Hilary Clinton is right behind him. Both of them are traitors not only of US but of the entire Western civilization.
