Louvre jihadi cites Qur’an verse promising Paradise to those who kill and are killed for Allah

Feb 5, 2017 12:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“In another post on Twitter, he cited a Koranic verse that promises heaven to those who are killed fighting for the sake of God.”

It had to be this verse, because this is the only one containing the promise of Paradise to those who are killed. Note that AFP leaves out the fact that the verse promises Paradise not just to those who are killed, but to those who kill: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (9:111)

“Louvre suspect’s father insists son not radicalised,” AFP, February 5, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The father of an Egyptian suspected of being the machete attacker in Paris’s Louvre museum said Saturday his son showed no sign of radicalisation and he believed in his innocence.

Reda El-Hamahmy, a retired police general, told AFP he had been constantly in touch with his son who worked as a sales manager in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates.

“He went on a company trip and when it was over visited the museum. He was supposed to leave on Saturday,” Hamahmy said.

“He is a simple guy. We all love him,” he added, saying he had not detected any signs that his son had been radicalised.

French investigators believe the man who launched a machete attack outside the Louvre in Paris, before being shot and wounded by a soldier, is a 29-year-old Egyptian who entered the country on a tourist visa.

A source close to the case said the man’s condition has improved in hospital and it is “no longer life-threatening”.

His father has disputed the police account of how his son came to be shot outside the museum.

“The French government’s account is not logical. He was 1.65 metres tall (five foot five) and attacked four guards? And in the end they found nothing in his bags,” he said.

“I can show you pictures where he has no beard,” he said, referring to beards grown by some devout Muslims.

“Our household is a moderate household and mind our own business,” he added.

Hamahmy said he believed the wounded suspect was his son, Abdallah El-Hamahmy, who he said has had no contact with the family since Friday.

“National Security (police) came yesterday and asked for information about him, and I gave them whatever I had,” he said.

Abdallah El-Hamahmy is married, with his pregnant wife currently staying in Saudi Arabia with their seven-month-old son, his father said.

The attacker is believed to have entered France legally on a flight from Dubai on January 26, a French source said.

Investigators are examining a Twitter account of an Egyptian man named Abdallah El-Hamahmy who posted around a dozen messages minutes prior to the attack.

“In the name of Allah… for our brothers in Syria and fighters across the world,” El-Hamahmy wrote, linking to a post he wrote on his Facebook page.

“No negotiations, no compromise, steadfastness and no retreat,” he added.

His Facebook page and his Twitter account have since been suspended.

In another post on Twitter, he cited a Koranic verse that promises heaven to those who are killed fighting for the sake of God.

Another post questioned: “Why are they afraid of the creation of a state for Islam? Because the state of Islam defends its resources and the honour of Muslims.”…

    “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (9:111)……..

    But it’s all just a bit vague. What EXACTLY are you supposed to be doing to kill/be killed? It doesn’t really say. At the end of the day, it would be possible to use those words in any context to justify any twisted or warped ideas – not that islam isn’t short of that sort of thing anyway. So you can indulge in any atrocity just so that you can get a ticket to the good times in the sky for yourself – and to hell with anyone else? What a wonderful ideology islam is!

      This is a very good reason to restrict Muslim immigration. The young kids give in to the temptations of Western culture, then they have only one route to getting right with their “god” – kill and be killed.

      Islam needs a mechanism for confession and repentance for sins.

        Actually I think all that’s needed (in general) is to go to mosque on Friday night. They joke about what happens on Thursday night. But I suppose to really clean the slate and get the highest accolade you have to go out with a bang.

        Dave, I was kicked of a FB site called Women for Trump. LOL, or did I kick them off. For suggesting that Islam and the illegal Hispanic mobs are joining forces to throw Pres. Trump out of office….. UMM, think that is not PC.. So do not be surprised at some of those who appear to be conservative Pro-American, are not at all. If you are not sympathetic to the devils causing all the problems in this county, you will be kicked off… LOL consider it a blessing!!

      Ayaan Hirsi Ali sees this death wish thinking as a real problem (and discusses it in a video included with the linked article below.) She agrees with Trump’s Immigration ban (with advice) and urges a study by commission (as Trump suggested back in August). She says Congressional Hearings are needed. In her opinion i is basically the DAWA that has to be addressed and she says more and more Muslims feel this way and need to become better organized.
      She herself identifies four types of Muslim immigrants: adapters, menaces, coasters, and fanatics.

    The Religion of Peace(TM) is anything but.

    Allah (Satan) demands its believers meet a daily quota of killing people while screeching “Allahu Akhbar” – I am very sorry but Muslims simply do NOT belong anywhere in the western world.

    Deport them all back to their Syrian Islamic Paradise.

    “….Reda El-Hamahmy, a retired police general, told AFP he had been constantly in touch with his son who worked as a sales manager in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates….”

    Is that the same police that harasses and tortures Christians? Is that the same police that looks the other way when Christians are being beaten, harassed, tortured and murdered? Or their homes and churches burned down and/or defiled?

    What do you think?

      What churches? There are no churches in Saudi Arabia. It is simply illegal to practise other confession than pislam. Imagine my surprise. Yet again, the religion of piss proves itself the most intolerant.

        This isn’t Saudi Arabia–it is Egypt. Christians make up almost 10% of the population there–but they are regularly oppressed and murdered.

      As for his not wearing a beard, the 9-11 hijackers had also shaved their beards.Plus, they drank vodka and whiskey, went to strip clubs etc to throw suspicion off themselves.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Feb 6, 2017 at 4:29 am

        EXACTLY.

        In fact, isn’t there a jihad instruction book somewhere that *tells* mohammedans plotting to go on jihad raids inside the dar al harb, to do just that? Shave off beards, drink alcohol, etc, so as to ‘blend in’??

        In any case, however, papa is probably using typical Mohammedan doublespeak. His son wasn’t ‘radicalised’ – he was a perfectly normal, perfectly pious common or garden Muslim, obeying the summons to wage Jihad. And he was ‘innocent’… because ALL Muslims qua Muslims are ‘innocent’ and all kuffar qua kuffar are ‘guilty’, from the Muslim POV.

        Papa knows the infidel journalist will take the words to mean one sort of thing whilst he himself, as he says them, is assigning to them the *Islamic* meaning. He isn’t lying, as such; he’s just using doublespeak, in order to mislead.

    That promise from the Qu ran 9111.”The believers fight for Allah’s Cause they slay and are slain ,they kill and are killed.'” It’s ,indeed, a promise of Islam from Islam’s religious book, the Qu ran or Koran, which so many Muslims feel so strongly in Perfect and Divine. Nevertheless,in spite of their religious feeling the reality is the those are lying words of a false promise that is based on a false book of and false religion. This statement is explained in a twofold way . First, for a more full understanding of the actual nature of the Koran a person need to look back in time before the coming of Muhammad and then the Koran. Back to the First Century AD which was the time of early Christian church. For the Early Christian Church had and now in modern times the Christian church still has the Gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4. Much later, in time, came Muhammad and he gave much information, that many believe to be divine, some of which is said to have been obtained from an angle from heaven. This information was written down on different objects and things Those written words in different objects was then compiled together and then eventually went into the composition of what is now called the Koran, As some also call it the Qur’an. The Koran is actually, that is in reality, another gospel, apart and greatly different from the Gospel of the Christian Church. Such a thing was predicted in the Bible. For the Bible does warn about those who will come and offer to people another gospel other than the one shown above, First Corinthians 15:1-4. For it is warned about any other “gospel” in the Bible. For it is written in the Bible “Though we or an angle from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8, 9. [K.J.V.] Therefore, the Koran is the result of the deception of a false prophet, Mathew 7:15., who may have come in contact with a fallen angle, a demon, So the imams and mullahs who preach it a truth to other are accused of and by God.

    Second , since the very foundation of and for Islam is the Quran ,this leads to very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

    Even though the above essay was posted before, it should now be added that the last statement of the above that “the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.” To put this in a Biblical way. As in from the Bible, it may be truly explained that the Quran is a deceptive work of “the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 14:12.. [N.I.V.]

    Louvre jihadi cites Qur’an verse promising Paradise to those who kill and are killed for Allah
    ……………………..

    Well, this should surprise no one. I’m sure he was quite disappointed that he was not killed while slaughtering Infidels.

    From the article. The mohammedan’s papa is accusing the French (infidel) police of *lying*.

    “His father has disputed the police account of how his son came to be shot outside the museum.
    “The French government’s account is not logical. He was 1.65 metres tall (five foot five) and attacked four guards?”

    Won’t it be fun when the multiple CCTV recordings of the incident that are sure to exist – this is in the neighbourhood of the Louvre, the place must be lousy with security cameras – are played back, at the trial, over and over, in slow-mo, frame by frame, and it is made abundantly plain that the police are *telling the truth*, and that jihad boy’s papa. when he said what I have just reproduced above, was MAKING A FALSE ACCUSATION?

    Muslims lie, Muslims lie, Muslims lie; and, therefore, they are very prone to accusing *others* of lying, they project onto the Kuffar, in particular, their own propensity for deceit of every imaginable kind.

  11. dumbledoresarmy says

    Here’s another ‘take-away’ from the article.

    It seems that the French police, when a/ attacked and b/ hearing the attacker howl “allahu-akbar”, responded pretty much as the police and the IDF have learnt to do in Israel under similar circumstances: BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

    The attacker was ‘neutralised’, as one reads so often in Israel National News, or the Jerusalem Post.

    No matter what nonsense-and-lies the cops are fed, these guys are front-line cops, and they are capable of ‘pattern recognition’. And they’re learning the proper Infidel response to ‘allahu-akbar’, assuming that you are armed and in a position to respond; to wit, *hammer the bastard into the ground with whatever you have to hand*.

    I wonder what would happen if you played a recording of ‘allahu-akbar’ (perhaps borrowed from the MEMRI collection, to get the genuine article, full of howling bloodlust) to a bunch of trainee policemen? And told them: you hear *this*, you look for the guy – or gal, or even *kid* – who is shouting it, and you take them down, as fast and as hard as you possibly can. Don’t waste time, or a hell of a lot of people might get killed.

    Final thought.

    The Mohammedthug stated this as his ‘principle’ (before going off with, one must assume the intention of hacking infidel civilians to death in a shopping mall):

    “No negotiations, no compromise, steadfastness and no retreat”.

    Well, perhaps the Infidel world needs to make that *their* motto, vis a vis the Global Jihad; vis a vis the infinitely-malevolent and infinitely-deceitful Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob.

    Don’t bother negotiating: mohammedans *never* ‘deal’ in good faith with Infidels and *never* keep their ‘deals’.

    No compromise – forget about ‘peace processing’ in Israel or India. Kashmir belongs to India: end of story. Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem belong to the Jews of Israel: end of story. NO ‘compromise’.

    Steadfastness: we infidels can do that. We’ve done it before – at Tours, and at Malta, and at Lepanto, and at Vienna. And in a good many other critical points in our history vis a vis the marauding mohammedan mobsters.

    No retreat.
    In other words: we cede not one more inch of ground, physical or psychological, to the Mohammedans.

    Here’s Sir Winston Churchill, talking about the campaign that was unloosed against the awful Mahdi, of the Sudan.

    “No terms but fight or death were offered. No reparation or apology could be made. . .

    “The red light of retribution played on the bayonets and the lances, and civilization—elsewhere sympathetic, merciful, tolerant, ready to discuss or to argue, eager to avoid violence, to submit to law, to effect a compromise—here advanced with an expression of inexorable sternness, and rejecting all other courses, offered only the arbitration of the sword.”
    Sir Winston Churchill – The River Wars (original unexpurgated and unabridged 1899 edition).

    Re Negotiation.

    Here, from the fantasy space-opera, “The Fifth Element”, is a classic scene that illustrates the only type of ‘negotiation’ that, in the long or short run, will *work*, for Infidels, in their self-defence against the Global Jihad.

    One of the first things Mohammed did upon conquering Mecca was to destroy the ART and culture of the place. Muslim warriors have shown throughout history that they imitate Mohammed (their role model) by DESTROYING ART.

    It is no accident that jihadists are attacking the LOUVRE one of the most iconic ART museums of the world. Jihadists would love to destroy the FLOWER of EUROPEAN ART held in museums like the Louvre. At the SAME TIME, they will deal a blow of ECONOMIC SABOTAGE against France’s big tourist industry.
