France: Muslim threatens to blow up Nice airport and slit passengers’ throats

He is, of course, “mentally ill.” Go back to sleep.

“Terror threat at Nice airport: Man threatens bomb attack and to cut passengers’ throats,” by Romina McGuinness, Express, October 19, 2016:

AN ISLAMIST was arrested after threatening to blow up Nice Airport and slit the throats of passengers with the help of Islamic State (ISIS) soldiers.

The 32-year-old also attacked two police officers as he said he would target their families as well as women and children in the airport.

The suspected terrorist, known only as Rocco M., suffers from schizophrenia, a chronic and severe mental disorder, and is currently in detention awaiting trial.

The man, known only as Rocco M, turned up at the Aviapartner check-in desk at Nice airport on Sunday, and erupted into a rage when an employee told him there was no reservation under his name.

An Aviapartner spokesperson said a “delirious” Rocco M mentioned an “imaginary Facebook friend” he was due to go to Barcelona with.

But Rocco M refused to back down. He suddenly became very aggressive and launched a volley of abuse at the Aviapartner employee, who was forced to call the police for help.

When police officers rushed to the scene Rocco M said he would “slit their throats and the throats of their wives and children”, and threatened to “blow the place up”. He then started throwing punches, slightly injuring two of the policemen.

Local officials claim Rocco M is a “vulnerable adult” who cannot be left alone and who has spent much of the past five years as a patient in a psychiatric hospital….

Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Prêtre also confirmed Rocco M is an ISIS supporter: “His behaviour has led us to believe that he is an extremist who is attracted to ISIS’s hard-core ideology. His actions are deeply troubling.”

The radicalised jihadist appeared in court on Tuesday, but, in light of his mental illness, judges postponed his trial date which has been set for November 28.

    Blow up an airport and slit peoples’ throats?

    Pretty standard fare for a Muslim, no? Thus Islamic heinousness becomes such the new normal that it produces only yawns anymore.

    Ennui sets in and this can only lead, let me think here, to more slaughter by Buttlims (I call them this because they can’t even manage prayer with dignity but rather do so with their butts in the air—–the most ridiculous praying position of all time), and to more and more excuse making for the worst religion ever created by man.

    Count on it.

      Couldn’t agree more dear Wellington. It’s the same all over the Western media. It’s never the religion of Islam, but either the perps are mentally disturbed as most Muslims are or they’re disenfranchised and radicalized by some evil extremists misunderstanding Islam. Strangely if you read the Koran the book always endorses violence against infidels.

      I watched the memorial service for the victims in Nice on TV5, a French channel the other day. They read the victims’ names and their age aloud. The youngest one was less than two years old. It was was chilling to hear. They didn’t give a statistic among the 86 victims there were x Christians, Jews, atheists, Buddhists etc. But they explicitly mentioned two Muslim victims as evidence that it was just terrorism and had nothing to do with religion. Muslim terrorists always see Muslim victims as collateral damage or blame them as they were among the infidels. There were some Muslim victims on 9/11 as well. The Western media is the same everywhere with a few exceptions they never blame Islam. France is the Western country that has to suffer most under Islamic violence at the moment. 238 victims in a little more than one year. But even there the media appeases. As I say Europe is going down the drain or we’re digging our own graves. We definitely need American help but under under Killary things would be eveen worse than under Obama with her friend advisor Huma Abedin as secretary of state. So G’d help us and protect us against our politicians.

      All the best to you and yours my friend, take care.

    I am beginning to believe that this is a chicken and egg situation: Islam creates mental illness and mental illness creates Muslims. It has got to be the most inhumane and irrational of medieval ideologies surviving into modern times. And unlike other ideologies, seems completely resistent to reform and modernization. It celebrates anger and hatred and fear rather than love and empathy and joy and what we Jews would call Godliness / Goodness.

      Mentally ill are our own leaders who let this kind of people to come in our countries without control.

      Jihadists on the other hand, believe it or not, are much smarter (some of the Paris jihadists just entered Europe as refugees).

      Mohammed is considered by many to have been a madman, mentally ill. Since he is the founder of Islam, nothing better can be expected of the followers.

        What did those who knew him best say?
        “Indeed, he is mad.”
        “Surely he is possessed!”
        “He is certainly insane.”
        “Verily, he is a madman!”

    I’m a little amused that they’re defining “schizophrenia”, or perhaps are substituting a particular system in a list of comma separated items.

    On the surface of it, I used to think that Islam was one of the world’s great religions. I now think that Islam is merely the fantasy of one deeply mentally ill man. Anyone would wonder why it gained so many followers then, but, back in the day, the answer would be that Mohammed gave “infidels” the options of submitting to Islam or dying a brutal death. So, people were literally forced into becoming Muslims. If they were free to choose, they never would have chosen Islam.

    • Dov Berrol says

      Indeed. Well said.

    • Michael Copeland says

      They still are forced.
      If they had gotten rid of the death penalty for leaving, “Islam would not be here today” (Yusuf al Qaradawi, spiritual advisor to the Muslim Brotherhood)

    Of course, he is mentally ill. He is a Muslim. Only deranged people would believe that a child rapist, sex slaver, mass murderer, thief, liar, cross dressing homosexual, that had sex with his dead aunt and was friends with a talking donkey was the most perfect man that ever lived.

      Thanks Charli.

      I intend to start researching Islam mush better.

      Even carry the quotes around in my pocket.

      Maybe even a marked up Quran.

      Im ashamed I cant even quote it.

        Stage one: “Indeed, he is mad” (68:51)
        see comment above)

        • John Stefan says

          Oct 20, 2016 at 4:50 pm

          Friend Michael, How are we to interpret 68:51? The devoted Qur’an reader, a faithful Muslim, recites the Qur’an and the reader states that you and I who are the worst of creatures, infidels, cry out “Muhammad is possessed!” Yes, that is exactly what you and I cry out were we to hear a devoted Muslim read the Qur’an to us. SO, the way I have just interpreted this passage, it’s not the devoted Muslim himself who is finally admitting that his Muhammad is mentally ill, it is rather you and I that do so. He is stating that it is you and I who cry out “Muhammad is possessed” That’s the way I think that I’m interpreting this passage. Any comments?

      • Charli Main says

        Oct 20, 2016 at 3:00 pm

        All good ideas C.C.
        Personally, I cannot even begin to match the knowledge that most of the JW family possess, regarding that obscenity called Islam.

        Whenever I see a knowledge quote from RS or others, I copy it into my Islam file for future reference.
        Kind regards. CM

  12. DFD says

    Oct 20, 2016 at 11:29 am

    I wonder.

    1) Since terrorists seem to be invariable Muslims, and are nearly always declared to lack sanity in one form or another, i.e., being mentally disturbed, etc.

    2) Muslims who follow the Quran, quote the Quran, etc. are usually referred to as lacking understanding of their religion or hijacking it (how does one ‘hijack a religion or an ideology?).

    3) In consequence, Islam, or those practising it or at least quoting the Quran as the basis for their actions, should be classed as a severe mental disorder, no?

    Should there not be a cover note of top of every Quran warning the reader that it can be detrimental to their mental health and emotional stability? After all, cigarette packs carry health warnings, and smoking has not been connected with blowing up air ports, cafes or stabbing and shooting people. Apart from other things.

    Obviously, reading the Quran and believing in what it teaches causes all of these, I think in the future I will write readers letters to the media when ever they roll out the mental issue – if that gets published is another question…

    • DFD says

      Oct 20, 2016 at 11:32 am

      Sorry, para 3) sounds a bit awkward, but I am too lazy to correct it, and I think you are smart enough to get the idea.

  13. BLC says

    Oct 20, 2016 at 12:03 pm

    The main characteristics of Islam are deception, brutality, force, sex, (lots of sex) and constant war with just about anyone they can find. These are hardly spiritual qualities, but cultural norms for Muslims .

    Could be worse, they could blow up a really nice airport. thank you very much.
