France: Muslim teen attacked Jewish teacher with machete in the “name of Allah and ISIS”

Mar 4, 2017 4:06 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); claiming that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.

“Teen jihadi facing 20 years in jail for machete attack on Jewish teacher ‘in Allah’s name,'” by Romina McGuinness, Express, March 1, 2017:

A TURKISH teenager who brutally attacked a Jewish teacher in the name of Islamic State (ISIS) faces 20 years in jail, prosecutors said.

The 17-year-old jihadist, who was 15 when the attack took place in Marseille, France, in January last year, making him a child in the eyes of the law, is due in court today.

The unnamed extremist – who is the first minor to be tried for a “grave” terrorist act committed on French soil – has been charged with a string of terror offences including “attempting to commit terrorist murder” and “aggravated anti-Semitism”.

The teen, who claimed to have acted in the “name of Allah and ISIS”, attacked the Kippah-clad teacher, Benjamin Amsellem, with a knife and a machete, before being stopped and arrested by police.

Fabrice Labi, Mr Amsellem’s lawyer, told the French daily Le Figaro that his client “still had a lot of unanswered questions,” and wanted to understand “why the ISIS-obsessed teenager had become a killer”.

Mr Amsellem, who was left “emotionally scarred by the attack”, has been unable to return to work, Mr Labi added.

He said he “deeply regrets his actions”.

The attack provoked a storm of outrage among Marseille Jews and shrouded the city in fear.

One year on, fears of a copycat attack have been assuaged, but not erased, the president of the Marseille Israelite consistory Michel Cohen-Tenouji told Le Figaro.

He said: “Jews in Marseille are afraid of being the victims of a terrorist attack. They feel threatened by radical Islamists.”…

    … and in the name of anti-Semite muh., ‘… “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.” ‘

    People scream about the ‘far right” (a label, these days, usually slapped onto those who dare to publicly criticise Islam or oppose the Islamisation of their countries) whilst ignoring the reality of allahu-akbaring mohammedans attacking Jews in public in the streets of Europe.

    “Mr Amsellem, who was left “emotionally scarred by the attack”, has been unable to return to work, Mr Labi added.

    He said he “deeply regrets his actions”.

    Who “deeply regrets his actions”?
    Not likely the teen, but what did the teacher do to “regret”?

    How can that guy in the photo be 17 years old ? He looks mid 30’s or older. What has happened to the Truth ?

      The man in the photo is wearing a kippah. That must be the Jewish teacher Benjamin Amsellem. Can’t show a photo of the perp, he’s a minor child, don’cha know, he must be protected.. They didn’t even print the perp’s name, “…the unnamed extremist…”.

        Mar 4, 2017 at 10:50 pm

        You are so right…the kippa is plain to see even in the shadow…and this is nuts !!! Where is the photo of the machete/knife attacker ? Posting the victim puts him at risk. And I hope this is a photo after the attack because he does not appear to be injured here but certainly not a happy moment by his expression.

    When the Truth is trampled in the street, all life is under attack because lies always lead to death. I saw a statement today….1/2 truth plus 1/2 truth equals a lie. If you believe a lie it will kill you…another recent incident in Sweden concerning a woman with young children offering her home to a 12-year old migrant from Yemen who turned out to be 19 years old and almost raped and killed her before she learned the truth and had him removed but he told her that he knows where she lives and he will be back to finish what he said he would do.

    Isaiah 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

    What does a Muslim tell the judge after he says ‘I’m sorry’?

    • Keys says

      Mar 4, 2017 at 8:50 pm

      “I’m sorry!” “I am not under the jurisdiction of this court. Muslims like me only recognize Sharia law, under which I have committed no crime, rather have carried out the will of Allah.”

      • shosh7154 says

        Mar 4, 2017 at 10:13 pm

        and the will of allah is to kill all the jews…itbakh el yahood…a prayer recited in mosques worldwide

    Have you liberals, governments and the rest of you people gone mad or have you become mentally ill?
    I don’t believe this anymore, it;s like I am living on a total different planet, but for the moslems it is divide and conquer, as you have done for 1400 years. I can not even comprehend it anymore in my head with those atrocious acts you commit, but it will not happen, Canada, you must be mad to have a minister like that., En America, what is the idea behind a Christian to a moslem, for 14.000 soldiers, Ans what about the Dutch who will have half of the army and half of their police muslims too. Where will their loyalty lay when something happens and what about the Turkish president, he wants to have a rally in the Netherlands for the 260.000 Turks whom he wants to vote for him, people pretested and the Turkish minister of foreign affairs said, “O yes Holland, you will let us do that. Incredible !!!

    If I weren’t told that the first part of Mr. Spencer’s article was quoting the Koran, I’d think it was a description of the run of the mill Muslim. Cowardly, liars, pigs, lazy, Feeling pain when others are happy, arrogant. Maybe something happened in the translation.

    I am Jewish myself and I fail to understand why the Jewish community sits idly bye when being attacked by Muslims. Is it the Nazi syndrome again. Must millions more be brutalized and killed! Will the nations continue to deny the attackers and their religion?

    There will be “Teachers” murdered in Australia because of this.
    If just one(1) teenager comes to school with the path of Jihad on
    his mind. Rest assured there are others.
