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

Paris: Machete-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks French soldiers at the Louvre

Feb 3, 2017 10:36 am By Robert Spencer

Cue the next round of establishment propaganda media stories about “Islamophobia” and a “dark view” of Islam.

How long are the French going to keep importing people among whom are unknowable numbers of enemy combatants?

“Machete-wielding man slumps to the ground after being shot in the stomach at the Louvre museum as he attacked French soldiers while screaming ‘Allahu Akbar,’” by Dave Burke and Peter Allen, MailOnline, February 3, 2017:

A terror probe has been launched in Paris after a machete-wielding man was shot after trying to attack four soldiers outside the Louvre.

The suspect was shot five times in the stomach and is in a critical condition.

He was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is the greatest’ – according to the Paris prefect, and reportedly had paint bombs in his backpack.

After being refused entry, he pulled out the weapon and was shot by a soldier, officials have confirmed. A soldier is believed to have suffered a head injury.

US President Donald Trump tweeted following the attack in the French capital: ‘A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.’

A second man was arrested after ‘acting suspiciously’ close to the scene, but it is not known if he is linked to the attack.

French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has described the attack as ‘terrorist in nature’.

Interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said the the identity and nationality of the suspect are not yet known….

Any word on his religion, Brandet?

    Guys look at this misleading headline !!

    http://www.kwch.com/content/news/Paris-police-Soldier-opens-fire-outside-Louvre-412657593.html

    This is what we are faced with.

    Has any one heard a peep about Trumps mention of Christian being beheaded???
    I havent. Utterly disgusting.

    France has reach the point where, with troops patrolling everywhere, there is no denying that the country is under siege from Islamic terrorists.

    The French merely have to go the polls and elect a party that will take the actions necessary to get the country back and deprogram the terrorists right out of this death cult.

      Troops patrolling everywhere… that’s the goal of the EU cabal behind the NWO – using muslims as a weaponry to cause havoc and unrest against its citizenry to achieve a predetermined purpose.

      Agreed, Mortimer–save for with the last. With all respect, you keep flogging “deprogramming”, although this has *never* worked–and why would it? Muslims do not listen to the “filthy Infidels”. What plan do you think would work–and how?

    muslims dont like art. They paint it as evil no pun intended.
    You cant draw pictures of God …oh nooooo.

    Give me a break !

    I believe it was because Muhammed couldnt draw a straight line.
    He couldnt even read and write.
    Total monkey.

    How can anyone follow such a turd

      Feb 3, 2017 at 2:59 pm

      I can assure you that once they can do it, which might be soon, Muslims will remove all art works from european cities. Statues in particular are considered an offence to Islam and will be the first to go.
      In Egypt, the ancient statues are heavily guarded because of awareness of such a threat. Another reason for removing iconic symbols of civilisation is that Islam doesn’t like to be seen as second to any other civilisation. I was a Muslim and know the mindset very well.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 4, 2017 at 11:17 pm

        Yes–Islam hates the arts–figurative art and music most of all. I wonder what this Mohammedan had planned–was he going to attack the artwork, the museum-goers, or both, if he had had the chance?

    The tourists will stop coming. France’s tourist industry is a big sector of France’s economy. The terrorists are clearly trying to sabotage France’s economy.

    France’s only recourse is to sabotage the terrorists and IDEOLOGICALLY destroy the ideology that promotes terrorism.

    ECONOMIC SABOTAGE will be disastrous for France.

    • FP says

      Feb 3, 2017 at 11:29 am

      True. I know five people who just cancelled a trip to Paris because of the uptake in the number of tourist robberies. Now a machete attack. As for me, I would never take my family there as long as the city is overrun with African and Middle Eastern trash. Le Pen may be the only one with the drive to set France back on a good path. Let’s pray she gets a chance.

        We had planned to go to Eurodisney with the children, all the nephews, uncles … we had promised the children years ago … but in the end we will not go. Adults also wanted to go to Paris but we consider that there are too many Muslims, Paris is not safe. I am very sorry, I am very sad to stay without seeing Paris. The worst part is that many places in Spain are also filling up with Moroccans. No place is safe anymore.

          Well, the US is a safe place as long as you are not Robert Spencer or Milo trying to give a speech in Berkeley.

          Curious to see if anyone tries to pull similar crap at the Superbowl in Houston – the concealed carry capitol of Texas.

    Note that the assailant reportedly had paint bombs in his backpack. Presumably, these would have been use to deface and permanently damage paintings and/or statuary. Islam teaches that depictions of sentient creatures are forbidden. What Europeans fail to understand is that all museums are targets, as are all concert halls and opera houses, as music, particularly for entertainment purposes, is also forbidden in Islam. The attack at the Louvre is merely a beginning, and I’m surprised that art museums have not been attacked until now.

  7. Angemon says

    Feb 3, 2017 at 10:56 am

    The MO article incompetently and totally avoids the matter of his religion and driving force. From reading it, it seems it could have been anyone for no apparent reason, really…

    • Angemon says

      Oh, and the “terror-probe” mentioned? Start with the mosque(s) he attended.

    Shot in the stomach area five times and thus far survived? The attacker sought martyrdom and failed.
    Perhaps he’ll find another way to complete his task, while hospitalized.
    At least French soldiers are carrying live rounds, France is finally starting to smarten-up.
    Now, if that country will elect LePen or Fillon, and rid itself of the left-wing politicians that have made that nation the laughing stock of the EU, perhaps France can reestablish some of its lost sovereignty.

    • c matt says

      Feb 3, 2017 at 4:25 pm

      I wouldn’t trust Fillon – seems to be the Jeb Bush of France. France needs to go full Le Pen if it wants to survive.

      I am glad that the troopers took him down. Only in a Hollywood movie does a shooting victim reel backwards, slam into a wall, and collapse in a heap with the first shot. The troopers also probably got him medical attention pronto. Otherwise he would like have bled out. Victims of Jihadi attacks to not get such treatment for those that kill in the name of Allah.

      Still, look at what France has become! It is virtually a police state, the ultimate goal of the leftist elites. The elites are using Islam intentionally as a destabilizing force so that government elites can justify a police state to control the people.

      I went to France in 1998, there was some evidence of it then but it was not surprising because of the World Cup going on (i,e, snipers on the roof at La Stade Gerland, an occasional brief patrol of Gendarmes with machine pistols around the Eiffel Tower). But the country, on the whole, was beautiful, from Lyon, to Bourges, to Tours, to Nantes, to Paris. So much has changed for the worse in almost 20 years. I would not go back there now.

      • Carolyne says

        Feb 4, 2017 at 10:24 am

        I have always found France to be a beautiful country, but the French to be rude and unpleasant. In fact, I don’t go there anymore. Now there is another reason not to.

        There is some evidence that it is policy now to shoot them in the legs to stop them escaping, but not to kill them so they can get information out of them.

    Instead of posting armed police around every museum, church and public square maybe they should have posted them at the borders. But now alas it seems too late.

    See the cultural enrichment provided by refugees and immigrants yet? The only downside is perpetual martial law. Is this what we want in the USA?

    • FP says

      Cut off their welfare and free stuff and many will leave. But, in reality, almost all Muslims would need to leave these countries for Europe to have a chance of survival at this point (they breed like rabbits and will change the voting demographics in a few years). Give them the option of selling their property to the government for a fair price. If they refuse to sell, confiscate it, and forcibly expel them from the country. Then never allow them in again, bulldoze their mosques, and give the money that would have been spent on raising Muslim welfare babies to Europeans who want to have children (incentivize raising larger families).

      • c matt says

        Feb 3, 2017 at 4:29 pm

        Give them the option of selling their property to the government for a fair price.

        Personal property they can just take with them. If it’s real property, no asking is necessary – use eminent domain (would still have to pay the the market price for it, but that’s only fair).

    Each muslim to blame since they do not stop muslim terrorism. Every european and european leader as well guilty allowing islam being spread in Europe.
    Muslims being allowed attacking Europe and europeans, leaving to Europe and europeans to stop muslim terrorists. Islam should be forbidden in Europe. The only right thing.

    Even the way the headline is written irks me.
    GOOD that the ‘man slumped to the ground after being shot by soldiers’.
    How about “soldiers attacked at Louvre by machete-wielding…”
    Yes, okay, a small thing. Just seems stupid to begin with the attacker’s reaction to being shot.

    • P2 says

      Feb 3, 2017 at 6:17 pm

      It’s not a stupid reaction, it’s called ‘gaslighting’. Twisting reality just that tiny bit, until bit by bit, evil is called good & good evil. It’s a form of propaganda.

    Update.

    It was a mohammedan mobster, alright.

    From *Egypt* (or, well, he *said* he was from Egypt, who knows, you can’t trust a word any of these creatures say, nor any document produced by their coreligionists).

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-03/french-soldier-shoots-suspected-attacker-at-louvre-museum/8240520

    “An Egyptian national (that is: a Muslim from Egypt – dda) visiting France on a tourist visa has threatened soldiers at the Louvre Museum in Paris with a machete, in what officials are describing as a suspected terror attack….

    “Police inquiries established that the man, who was hospitalised after being shot in the abdomen, was a 29-year-old Egyptian (that is: Egyptian MUSLIM – dda) who arrived in France on January 26 after obtaining a tourist visa in Dubai, Paris prosectutor Francois Molins said.

    “Security sources in Cairo identified the man as Abdullah Reda al-Hamamy, who was born in Dakahlia, a province north-east of Cairo.”

    Dear US jihadwatchers: please forward this information to President Donald Trump, and request that *Egypt* be put on the list of countries whose citizens – UNLESS, and ONLY unless, they are proven bona fide members of the exploited, persecuted, and often murdered Coptic Christian minority – are not to be permitted into the USA.

    Had France not permitted this creature into France, he could not have carried out his – fortunately stymied – attack. Had the soldiers been less vigilant, and less prompt in responding to the sound of the battle-cry “Allahu-akbar”, many people might have been stabbed or slashed to death.

    • Charli Main says

      Feb 4, 2017 at 5:59 am

      His shouting ” Allahu-Akbar” proves that he was not a real Muslim and that he had misunderstood the peaceful teachings of the “most perfect man ” that has ever lived.

  20. firefox says

    Feb 4, 2017 at 2:53 am

    Mr. Spencer: …”allahu ackbar” means “ALLAH IS GREATER” not “God is greatest”! Moslems speak of their god allah being GREATER than other gods. They clearly are against the God of Christianity. It is not being reported right and it is deceptive!!

    The muslim society doesn’t have a culture of the arts so they must destroy everything of beauty that shows the West’s evolution: from the caves of Lascaux to the Mona Lisa; from primeval rhythmic grunts to the music of J.S. Bach. They begrudge the West’s having them so they must be destroyed..

    The list of destruction is heart breaking: Babylon, Nineveh, Palmyra, the looting of the archeological treasures of the Iraqi Museum. Beyond words.

    Must be careful, was about to say the “b” word with regard to the muslim culture. The thought police are watching, I could land in jail. L O L

    • gravenimage says
