Bataclan bars Eagles of Death Metal from reopening show at site of jihad massacre

Nov 13, 2016 7:53 pm By Robert Spencer

The band Eagles of Death Metal was playing when the jihadis began their mass murder in the Bataclan, where they killed 89 people. But because Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes has suggested that “Muslim staff at the Bataclan were involved in the gun and suicide bomb attack there on November 13, 2015,” he has been barred. “They came, I threw them out — there are things you can’t forgive,” said Bataclan co-director Jules Frutos.

Were Muslim staff at the Bataclan involved in the jihad massacre? That has not been disproven, and Hughes, who was on the scene, is not speaking from mere hearsay, although he later apologized under pressure. But the very suggestion is “Islamophobic,” and Hughes has also spoken out against gun control, so he was barred, and Sting with his Islamopandering performed at the reopening.

“Bataclan bars Eagles of Death Metal from reopening show,” AFP, November 12, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):

Paris (AFP) – Members of Eagles of Death Metal, the US group who were playing when jihadists attacked Paris’ Bataclan concert hall last year, were turned away from the venue’s reopening show Saturday over controversial remarks by their lead singer.

“They came, I threw them out — there are things you can’t forgive,” Bataclan co-director Jules Frutos told AFP, as Sting was wrapping up an emotional reopening show to mark a year since 90 people were massacred there during a gig by the Californian band.

Eagles frontman Jesse Hughes — one of the two band members denied entry to the Sting concert — caused dismay in France earlier this year by suggesting Muslim staff at the Bataclan were involved in the gun and suicide bomb attack there on November 13, 2015.

Before the concert Frutos said that he was sick of listening to Hughes’ conspiracy theories.

“He makes these incredibly false declarations every two months. It is madness, accusing our security of being complicit with the terrorists… Enough. Zero. This has to stop,” he added.

Hughes, a rare right-wing rocker and supporter of US president-elect Donald Trump, has also said without evidence that Muslims were celebrating outside during the venue during the siege.

The claims tarnished the band’s image and enraged the Bataclan’s managers, who strongly rejected the charges.

Invitations for EODM to play a number of French summer music festivals were also swiftly withdrawn.

Before he made the claims, Hughes told AFP that he wanted to be the first to play the Bataclan….

    So were any of the Muslim staff, especially security killed?

      Excellent question!
      I’v never see any talk about this in the media… I would be thankful if anybody could put some research into this.

      If they had been we would have heard “see – see – even muslims were killed! it’s NOTHING to do with islam……”

      They were in on it. Allegedly.

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 15, 2016 at 12:35 am

        True, Vampire Jack.

        How could this have happened with no security killed? Muslim security may or may not have been in on it–but it doesn’t look like they did much to try and stop it.

    See people how info is concealed?! Pretty much any factor could’ve influenced the course of events, including the staff at place of massacre. So, the final destruction further into France is continuing. Don’t expect some of Baba Vanga’s predictions not to be in place! There will be plenty more signs from her predictions.

    Absolutely reprehensible. I was so appalled when I read the article I was speechless. Co-Director Jules Frutos – is he mentally challenged? Is that it? I hope the Muslims get you.

    I wonder what Sting would be singing if his band were playing one year ago at the Bataclan.
    His song should be called Ma’shallah, in English: Allah allowed it

    It’s always refreshing when the truth comes out, in this case the truth is that suggesting complicity of Moslems is so unacceptable that the principle symbol of the mass murder victims may not participate in memorializing the mass murder victims. Reason for that is another truth, that speculating about the truth is dangerous because the group that did the mass murder would be offended, which could lead to another mass murder.

    Reuters quotes Jesse Hughes as saying the club did not deny him entry. The club co-director’s comments however do indicate that they would have denied Hughes entry had he attempted to enter. Also, earlier this year, Hughes’ backed off of his previous claim that Muslim security guards knew about the planned attacks in advance.

    “[…] Singer Jesse Hughes had turned up on Saturday at the Bataclan, which re-opened with a show by British pop star Sting.

    Bataclan co-director Jules Frutos told French media he had refused entry to Hughes at the Sting concert, but Hughes denied this, saying he had only been hanging around outside the venue.

    “I never actually tried to get into the show,” Hughes told reporters on Sunday.

    Frutos had earlier told France Info radio station that he would not invite Eagles of Death Metal back to the Bataclan, after Hughes made accusations about its security.

    In March, Hughes apologized for suggesting security guards at the Bataclan may have had advance knowledge of the assault, saying he had made the claim as a result of stress and nightmares.[…]”

    In Bataclan it was only Islamic peace and justice activists
    who were peacefully defending themselves against
    non-Muslims Islamophobia?

    How difficult is the life of the Islamic peace activists
    who have been defending themselves for 1400 years
    against Islamophobia?

    No matter how many non-Muslims Islamophobes they
    manage to kill, there are still slamophobes left!

    Hughes may not have evidence for his claim, but it’s a valid question. How many security staff were killed by the terrorists? Were any? or did they spare them because they were muslims?
    Also the muslim network through mosque contacts could bring Jihadists and security staff together. It’s certainly a possibility. In the Benghazi attack, local security staff employed by the Americans, opened doors for terrorists and aided the attack. I can understand why French Police would not want to investigate this possible link, because if proven it would place every muslim under suspicion as a jihadist sympathizer. And that would have huge social cohesion repercussions.

    • gravenimage says

      Baucent, there are already huge social cohesion issues, with Muslims slaughtering us in the streets.

    France claims to be the home of secular, Enlightenment values.
    “Je suis Charlie ” posturing more like.
    Many mohammedans celebrated the Bataclan atrocity,
    mohammedan staff may well have assisted in the murders.
    If not physically, then by giving advance info, including building
    plans, shift details etc.
    With a 10% & growing muslim population (officially), the French
    authorities are doing what they did so quickly in 1940.
    Caving in to Nazism.

    I wonder how the attackers could entry fully armed with assault guns and hand grenades and were not noticed by the security people. Does anybody here know whether or not the French police investigated this topic?

    A week ago Leonard Cohen, whose song Hallelujah resonates in each of us like an eternal hymn
    On Saturday evening, at the Bataclan, in a concert supposed to honor the victims of November 13, the British singer Sting chose to celebrate another God.
      He performed Inchallah, one of the titles of his latest album that pays tribute to refugees lost at sea
    Sting wished to make clear to the public that Inchallah was “a very beautiful word”, as if to support his luminous pedagogy in the very arena where Allah was invoked for the assassination of 130 people a year ago.

    • gravenimage says

    And please tell me WHY to some fools, it seems INCONCEIVABLE that certain muslim staffers could be “involved” in this attack?????
    It not just likely, it is VERY LIKELY that some were!
    It goes far to demonstrate the Ostrich like, head up the arse attitude of these, Oh So politicaly correct ass holes who are mainly responsible for letting these SAVAGES run wild in Western nations!

    Even before that vicious ISIS jihad attack and 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.

    As now one year ago, yesterday has now passed since those vicious and murderous jihad attack by Muslims terrorists ISIS jihad attacks in the city of Paris on November 13, 2015. Those brutal demonic and malicious Islamic terrors attacks that night in Paris were a sin and affront unto God. Furthermore, those cruel, callous, malice-filled Islamic terror attacks of the jihad were also a crime against humankind and an affront against the nation of France and against all that is good and right. Such ruthless deadly wickedness is the results [or fruits] of the militant jihad of Islam. This statement about Islamic deadly violence is upheld by the “holy book’ of Islam, the Qur ‘an. As in Sura. 9:111. which instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, the slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.’ Likewise, Sura 47:4 teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it , using firearms , and other kinds of bombs as those Muslim jihadists used in those heinously evil jihad attacks, that night in Paris can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can. A “peaceful religion “? Bull !

    A year of time has elapsed since yesterday of those heinous and murderous Muslim terrorists jihad massacres in Paris France on November 13, 2015 it should be make clear that those brutal and cruel Islamic murders happened ,in part, because of those jihad-minded Muslim males who are so extremely deluded and irrational because they really believed in the nonsensical , strange and far –fetched doctrine contained in the Koran, of sex-filled paradise with black eye- houris, virgins, in it for the male Muslim who dies as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam fighting in the jihad. As, this bizarre Islamic doctrine of a houris -filled place is found in the Koran in, for example, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31. So this odd and outlandish koranic doctrine inspired many young Muslims males to commit many horrendous, ruthless, heartless and murderous actions of jihad violence. Those vicious jihadists massacres that occurred during the night of November 13, 2015 was most wicked and hideous. That extreme deadly evil caused by those jihadist/Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the weird and false doctrine from the Koran of such a houris, filled paradise that had the outcome of mass murder and chaos in the city of Paris France, is a strong reminder of the wise statement written by the French philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

    “Hughes, a rare right-wing rocker”?

    Well, that’s interesting. So, what about the audience? Did they tend to be less left than most audiences? Are there any leftists involved as owners or managers of the Bataclan? Are there any leftists in France or elsewhere in Europe who are motivated to use Muslims as their cats’ paws? Was the timing of the attacks against the right-wing rockers no exactly coincidental?

      …………………

      Oh, good grief. Muslims had been threatening attacks in France for a long time before the Paris attacks. And remember, the Bataclan was hardly the only target that night.

      I have my issues with clueless leftist tools, but they are *not* the ones slaughtering French citizens in the streets.

    I keep checking off Musicians who support Islam, from my “don’t listen to list”, but never thought Sting would be one of them. So sad. And I am grateful Jimi Hendrix died before all this has happened. At least I still have the old rock stars to listen to.

    When terrorists shout Allahu akbar you automatically suspect muzzies and you don’t think of Hindus or Buddhists. That’s common sense and has nothing to do with conspiracy theories. I don’t understand why Europeans always deny the obvious involvement of muzzies in terrorism.

    I watched the memorial service for the victims of NIce on TV5 (French international channel). The TV5 anchor told us there were two muzzies among the 86 victims. He didn’t give a statistic so and so many Christians, Buddhists, Jews, atheists etc. He only mentioned the two muzzies and said this terrible massacre had nothing to do with religion, the perp killed two muzzies too, so he was simply a fanatical terrorist. Rubbish! Muzzies don’t care about killing other muzzies, they want to kill. There were also muzzies in the twin towers who died on 9/11. This fucking PC is disgusting.
