“There was a huge campaign aimed at releasing Hamyd, who was then a teenager, with classmates eventually providing an alibi then led to him being released without charge.” He was touted as a victim of “Islamophobia.” Now he has been arrested for trying to join the Islamic State. Once again we see the hollowness of the ubiquitous victimhood narrative: whether or not Hamyd was involved in the Charlie Hebdo massacre, he is clearly a mujahid.
“Student who was cleared of being getaway driver in Charlie Hebdo attacks is arrested as he ‘tries to join Islamic State in Syria,'” by Peter Allen, MailOnline, August 7, 2016:
A student who was cleared of being the ‘third man’ in the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in France has now been arrested for allegedly trying to join Islamic State.
Hamyd Mourad, 20, was originally thought to have been the getaway driver when two Al-Qaeda operatives massacred 12 people around the Paris offices of the satirical magazine in January 2015.
There was a huge campaign aimed at releasing Hamyd, who was then a teenager, with classmates eventually providing an alibi then led to him being released without charge.
But now – in what appears to be another huge failure by France’s security agencies – Mourad was intercepted in Turkey’ on July 28th as he tried to join the Isis caliphate in Syria.
Mourad, who remained on a terrorist watch list in France, was deported to Bulgaria, where he remains in a detention centre awaiting his return to France.
Paris intelligence sources told the Journal du Dimanche newspaper that material found in Mourad’s backpack, including a phone and laptop computer, made him a clear ‘candidate for jihad’.
It added that anti-terrorism prosecutors in Paris had ‘opened a judicial investigation in order to issue a European arrest warrant for him.’
Mourad was the brother-in-law of Cherif Kouachi, who carried out the murders at Charlie Hebdo with his brother Said Kouachi.
The pair used AK47s to assassinate writers and cartoonists whom they accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammed, before they themselves were later gunned down by police commandos.
In the hours after the attack, Hamyd’s name was released as a prime suspect and a manhunt was launched.
Hamyd handed himself into a police station in his home town of Charleville-Mezieres, some 160 miles from Paris, and was held and interrogated for more than two days.
After being released without charge, Hamyd said: ‘I was stunned, completely overwhelmed by the events.
‘I’m in shock, people said horrible and false things about me on social media even though I am a normal student who lives quietly with his parents.’…

Cue in The Narrative – “he became radicalized because people suspected him becoming radicalized”.
Jinja says
And you are different by a degree, I guess? Cueing in The Cue in The Narrative. It’s all cues upon cues. One big cue party.
Jinja says
What is The Narrative of signaling shock upon shock about islamic deeds? I guess there were Christian scholars who were also signaling shock upon shock about islamic deeds for hundreds of years, in 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th century, and their signaling did absolutely nothing, except maybe tucked them to righteous sleep at night, while Christians were being massacred and Christian lands pillaged. Cue in The Narrative.

Before those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.

Crusades Were Right! says
Clearly, the solution to this problem is to KEEP THE SO-AND-SOS OUT OF OUR COUNTRIES!
Deport ALL of the Muslims back to their countries of origin, including those born in the West and Western converts. Otherwise the problem will simply grow and grow.
Alvin Woods says
But our governments are importing these people like its going out of style.
Weird huh?
Alvin Woods says
No death penalty for traitors, no long prison terms, no closing of radical mosques, no deporting of dangerous fanatics no ending of mass islamic migration……..
Why, one would naively believe the western governments are complicit in the *destruction* of the west.

Typical of the mainstream media which lionizes and protects Islam – whenever there is a Muslim who commits an attack or gets arrested for supporting Islamic terrorism or wishing to join Islamic State, the media will emphasise other aspects about the person (not their religion). For example, they are “originally from Somalia” or they are a “youth” or they have a “mental illness”.
In this article, they are a “student”.
But if the media needs to describe Christians or Jews, there’s no holding back. A lot of the time you hear them described as “right-wing”, “orthodox”, “ultra-orthodox” or “conservative” and this is even when Christians or Jews merely just TALK about something or someone i.e. they are not killing people or aiding terrorist organisations.
But if a Muslim kills people or supports terrorists, then they are a “student”.
The mainstream media has much to be blamed for today. Shame on them.

Horrifying–but not in any way surprising.
By the way, that shot of small publication I have ever worked at–except for the bloodstains. Chilling.

That should have read:
By the way, that shot of the hallway at Charlie Hebdo–which I have seen many times before–reminds me of every other small publication I have ever worked at–except for the bloodstains. Chilling.

I think he must be mentally ill.
