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

France thwarts “imminent” jihad attack; 4 Muslims arrested, including 16-year-old girl

Feb 10, 2017 5:58 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“France is still under a state of emergency after several deadly attacks in 2015 and 2016.” Other countries in Europe are also on alert or scrambling to fix the chaos caused by Muslim migrants and jihadists.

Billions of dollars are already being spent by Germany and the EU to clean up the chaos caused by Muslim migrants who cannot assimilate. Now add to that figure the astronomical cost of security and preventative security measures.

It is immoral for Western leaders to be indiscriminately allowing in refugees without adequate screening, enabling jihadi criminals to enter who not only threaten our freedom and our societies,  but also divert needed funds from the coffers of hardworking taxpayers, some of whom could barely afford healthcare and benefits for their own families. Westerners are generally willing to help anyone in need, but the West has been exploited by criminals: jihadists have been given free rein as they infiltrate the refugee stream by trusted politicians who will never suffer the consequences of their bad policy decisions.

“France Thwarts ‘Imminent Attack;’ 4 Arrests, Explosive Found”, by Lori Hinnant, Associated Press, February 10, 2017:

Anti-terrorism forces arrested four people Friday in southern France, including a 16-year-old girl, and uncovered a makeshift laboratory with the explosive TATP and other ingredients for fabricating a bomb. France’s top security official said the raid thwarted an “imminent attack.”

A police official said the teen had pledged loyalty to the Islamic State group in a recent video.

The prosecutor’s office said around 70 grams (2.5 ounces) of TATP were seized in the Montpellier-area home of a 20-year-old man, along with a liter each of acetone, oxygenated water and sulfuric acid. TATP, which can be made from readily available materials, was used in the deadly November 2015 attacks in Paris and the March 2016 attack in Brussels carried out by Islamic State extremists.

Two other men were arrested, a 33-year-old and a 26-year-old, along with the teenage girl, according to the prosecutor’s office, which handles terrorism investigations in France.

The police official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation, said one of the suspects was believed to be planning a suicide attack but that the investigation had not yet uncovered a specific target.

He said person in the group had tried to reach Syria in 2015 and was known to intelligence services. The group — notably the girl — attracted new attention with their social media postings, he said.

Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux said the arrests in three locations in the Montpellier area “thwarted an imminent attack on French soil.”

The country’s prime minister praised the work of anti-terror investigators.

“Faced with the heightened threat, there has been an extremely strong mobilization of our intelligence services to ensure the French are protected to the utmost,” said Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.

France is still under a state of emergency….

    Treason, plain and simple.

    Step one: Bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslim “refugees”. (Welcome!)

    Step two: Declare a State of Emergency. Which will be perpetual, unless you take:

    Step three: Admit that it was a mistake and repatriate your disruptive guests. Even if it costs billions, you must do it.

      It is the government’s plan to stop after Stage 2. They want the fear and chaos on a perpertual basis. The want a perpetual “State of Emergency”. They want the citizens afraid, unwilling and unable to take responsibility for their own self defense. That is how you control large populations and guide them to complete serfdom.

      That is the plan. Islam is but the tool. What the arrogant and over confident elitists fail to understand, or do not wish to believe, is that Islam will eventual surge past them to Step 3, with one important modification:

      “Step 3: Repatriate your disruptive hosts”.

      The irony is that eventually it will be the elitist minions and bureaucrats of Merkel and Hollande that will be those seeking and begging for refuge elsewhere. Merkel and Hollande will have their safe and secure villas in New Zealand or some other place. Somehow the big shots always have their luxury escape routes and destinations.

    ………………….

    I’m glad French authorities were able to stop this terror attack–but with so many Jihadists flooding into France, they will not be able to stop them all.

    I would encourage anyone interested in national security to at least look at what wikipedia has on TATP. and consider the availability of the materials used to make it. Pasted from the page, Detonation velocity- 5300 m/s
    17,384 ft/s
    3.29 miles per second- An M16 bullet travels about 3,400 feet per second and the libs want gun control? We need people control, namely islamic people.

    I found it interesting that this was on the BBC app but all day long I didn’t see a single hint of this on the AP app.

    Merkel will have all the murders, rapes and tortures of the migrants on her head. Germans had better wake up before Germany is irrevocably destroyed by recognition.

      Germans have woken up. But if all parties in parliament want the same thing, citizens are powerless. 20% in ten European countries are against a complete immigration stop from Muslim countries. 55 % for it. The snake is turning.

    Islam is such an extremely demonic and insidious religion that it even corrupts the soul and mind of a sixteen year old girl into a terribly heinous ,malicious and deadly violence of the jihad. This poor brainwashed girl should rather than taking part in the violent and murderous jihad for the advancement of Islam, she should be in a real school getting an actual genuine education . As for physical action , it’s not the action of violence that she should engage in but the action of Volleyball and basketball. What a shame .
