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

Paris airport jihadi had Qur’an, screamed “I’m here to die for Allah, there will be deaths”

Mar 18, 2017 7:50 pm By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam. Good thing we have George W. Bush and Pope Francis and John Kerry and other learned imams to tell us otherwise.

“Airport attacker shouted ‘I am here to die for Allah. There will be deaths’ — prosecutor,” RT, March 18, 2017:

French authorities are treating the attack at Orly airport as a terrorist incident, and have placed three people in custody. The Paris prosecutor says that the attacker, Ziyed Ben Belgacem, shouted Islamic slogans, before being fatally shot by security staff.

“I am here to die for Allah, there will be deaths,” the 39-year-old cried, as he attempted to wrest an assault rifle of a young female air force member on duty at Orly, according to Paris prosecutor Francois Molins, who held a press conference in the French capital on Saturday evening.

Molins said that Ben Belgacem, who had a string of theft and drug-related convictions, had been radicalized in prison – a fact that had been noted by the authorities at the time – and was on probation prior to the attack….

Molins said that Ben Belgacem carried a can of petrol into the terminal building, which he flung down before engaging in a violent altercation with the air force patrol staff. Two soldiers then intervened, and fired eight bullets in three bursts at the man, killing him instantly. A Koran was found on his body….

“Radicalised Muslim known to security agencies shot dead in attack at Paris airport – as security stepped up at stadium where Duke and Duchess watch rugby,” by David Chazan, Telegraph, March 18, 2017:

A radicalised Muslim known to intelligence agencies has been shot dead at Paris Orly airport after seizing an air force patrolwoman’s gun — just hours after he shot a police officer in the face in a northern suburb.

Authorities identified the man as Ziyed Ben Belgacem, a 39-year-old French national of north African origin born in Paris.

The Paris prosecutor, François Molins, said that during the confrontation at the airport, Belgacem shouted at the patrolmen: “I’m there to die by Allah. In any case there will be deaths.”

He was carrying a Koran, a container of petrol and matches in a backpack, which he threw to the ground before attacking the patrolwoman and holding a pellet gun to her temple….

    Ah yes, the Ten Pillars of Islam for all the French citizens to see:

    1. Deification (of an evil person and his ideas)
    2. Narcissism
    3. Projection
    4. Deceit
    5. Domination
    6. Sadism
    7. Theft
    8. Violence
    9. Murder
    10. War

    I must thank the Americans who voted for Donald Trump. He and Bibi may be the only western leaders who have the “beitzim” to defend us in this Jihad World War we are facing.

      Amen it is a delight to have a president after eight long years. By the way the 10 points you list remind me so much of Buttcrack Obummer. Is he publishing an autobiography? Not that I’m interested we have plenty of toilet paper for now but I might buy a copy later when we run out.

      That list is very similar to the list of qualifiers used to qualify an organization as a “cult.”

      Islam meets all of the qualifiers of a cult, including the one that almost no other cults meet – human sacrifice. (That’s what they are doing when they call to Allah to witness and approve their murders of innocent victims, just as it is what Satanists are doing when they call to Satan to witness and approve the murder of an innocent victim.)

      Get Islam re-defined as a cult, and remove its protection conferred on it as long it has the label of “religion.”

          correct it is outlawed in Germany, But we have 4 million turks and way too many muslims- doomed is my county,
          The attacker at the airport won- he caused millions of dollars of govt expense, peoples wasted time and he will go strait to his 72 year old virgin for that.

          It would also be interesting to look at two other comparisons: one – the outlawing of non-Muslim religions in most Muslim-majority dictatorships and two – the laws in Japan concerning the immigration, integration and citizenship of Muslims.

        Haha. For those who do not know modern Israeli Hebrew, Mak wrote “beitzim gdolim” which means, to use a Spanish euphemism: large cojones! Beitzim are “eggs” in Hebrew…a euphemism for “courage in the face of adversity.”

      Dov, we can not win this war alone.. There are fools in this nation who are trying to bring down President Trump.. Media, who has backing from Saudi money. Left wing globalist Bolsheviks, and just plain fools, who think Islam is peace!! We need Europe to step up to the plate, as we say, and hit a home run with electing the right leadership to defeat these savages invading Europe. Netherlands failed to elect the right leader, but they did increase the number of right leaning reps. that may help stop the savage attack on Europe. But with Merkel, and others in power, the clock is ticking, time is running out!! Get it on dudes, as we say in California, and put people in power, however much work it is, to save Europe, thereby saving the western world!! NOW!!!

    The poor dear probably had a mental illness. Or was upset at the intolerant, bigoted, Islamophobic President of the United States. Maybe his food had unintended pork in it. He was RADICALized. The Koran at its ROOTs is peaceful and has nothing to do with violence, or that was then and this is now and he must have misunderstood.

    How many more of these kinds of things have to happen until people wise up and realize the genie is out of the bottle? This requires logical thought and appropriate understanding and action…

      I don’t like to use the term “radicalized Muslim.” I prefer the terms “devout Muslim” and “good Mmuslm.” Obama and other Islamophiles have it backwards about Islam. Obambi says that it is the violent Muslims who are perverting Islam, when it fact, it is the peaceful Muslims who are perverting Islam, the Religion of Jihad and Misogyny.

      • Jeanette says

        Mar 19, 2017 at 11:51 am

        Obama knows exactly what is going on; he’s part of it.

        How convenient for the globalist elites if Muslims infest and begin murdering the populations of western countries, since those western countries are the only block in the way of their Agenda 2030 goal?

        If one wants to reduce the human population from 7 billion to 1/2 billion, then a good start is letting the Muslims kill everyone but themselves, leaving only 1.7 billion (the Muslims) for the elites to reduce.

        The only problem the elites have now is that they were never able to disarm America like they were able to disarm most of Europe.

        Excuse me; I’m going out to do some target shooting. I’ve drawn checked scarves on all of my paper targets.

      • Carolyne says

        Mar 19, 2017 at 12:33 pm

        Imam Hussein Obama was missing from the above list of learned Imams. Wait! He probably isn’t learned.

      • A Harris USA says

        Mar 19, 2017 at 1:14 pm

        Shane, Obama is still trying to convince the world that his religion of Islam is not the problem, that the west is the problem.. Face it, this is a long hard battle.. I fear that another 9-11 is just around the bend. With Trump in power, the Islamic savages, all of them, have a point to make. That even Trump can not protect us from Islam.. There are so many ISIS and other Muslim followers that will do anything to effect Islam into our way of life… Thus death. We have to be on the front lines every day… Watch these devils, I believe they have other plans, other than a lone savage in yet another airport… These are small test runs…

        • Shane says

          Mar 19, 2017 at 3:26 pm

          If Islamic Jihadis hit the USA with a well-planned attack, President Trump will do much more in response than Obambi did. I don’t think that Obambi changed our immigration policy to do backround checks on by simply examining their social media postings. The San Bernadino female Jihadi was a Jihadi before immigrating to America. I don’t agree with President Trump on a lot of issues, but it was his positions on Islamic terrorism and immigration that made me a supporter. Of course, Shillary’s position on these issues was as bad as Merkel’s in Germany!

      This little episode at Orly Airport reminds me of so many, many, many jihadi attacks in Israel, especially within the last two or three years, that have ended similarly.

      There have been not a few attacks in Israel in which a jihadi has attacked a young soldier or cop and tried to seize that person’s weapon (nota bene: it isn’t just the female soldiers or cops who have been attacked like this, it is also young *male* soldiers and they are not always able to fend off the attacker if taken by surprise). And then the ‘backup’ – said soldier or cop’s offsider/s – have blown the jihadi away. Indeed, in one incident, a young Jewish IDF girl was attacked; her *female* French Jewish officer did not blink nor hesitate, nor did she miss… BOOM! end of jihadist.

      • Carolyne says

        Mar 19, 2017 at 12:35 pm

        “The female of the species is more deadly than the male”—–Muslims would do well to learn this.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Mar 19, 2017 at 6:15 am

      Law enforcement in Australia is learning, too.

      The young mohammedan mobster who marched out of a mosque and marched down the road and murdered Curtis Cheng – unarmed, middle aged police accountant – outside the main Parramatta cop shop didn’t last long. Out came the cops and blam! that was the end of little mr jihad.

      And then there was the other young would-be jihadi assassin who ambushed two AFP cops in Melbourne. He wounded one, quite badly, and was attacking the other; but one of the wounded cops got out his gun and did not miss – BOOM! exit jihadist. Much weeping, wailing and hand-wringing from the jihadi’s family and assorted Useful Idiots, but me, I applaud the courage and focus of the wounded cop who, although attacked by a crazed allahu-akbaring thug, kept his head and used his weapon and – as swiftly as any Israeil cop or IDF soldier – “neutralised” the threat.

        Indeed, unfortunately now the rest of the civilized world is getting a bitter taste of what Israelis have been facing for over 50 years. And the world expects them to sign a “peace treaty” with these deceitful Arabs.

        • Kay says

          Mar 19, 2017 at 9:19 am

          I thought when the rest of the civilized world started to experience the threat of daily random terror, as Israel has long been experiencing, they would band together in support of Israel at the very least and that they would wake up and protect their own citizens.
          I can hardly believe that it hasn’t happened. I hold the press largely accountable for our warped awareness and sensibility. So many victims and bereaved– and we so quickly forget them!

    ‘Radicalized’ seems to happen pretty easily. It seems that perhaps it means only that ‘his leader’ — could be a neighbor, for all we know — said, ‘Go and kill the infidel!’ And off goes, now ‘radicalized’ — i.e., told to go do what he has been raised to do from birth. Not exactly the Manchurian candidate. Just waiting for someone to say … ‘Go!’

    Paris airport jihadi had Qur’an, screamed “I’m here to die for Allah, there will be deaths”
    ………………….

    I’m glad the only death was the Jihadist’s. But this will not always be the case. Another incident where the Jihadist was on authority’s radar, yet he was still free to wage violent Jihad. Suicidal roulette.

    I’m most of the way through a book called ‘A God Who Hates: The Courageous Woman who Inflamed the Muslim World Speaks out against the Evils of Islam.’ Insightful, disturbing book, and I’m not sure it’s hopeful. Very much worth the time to read.

    “Muslim culture, from its Arab beginnings, has canonized violence at all levels.”

    I’m not sure who it attracts today. Islam has mentally crippled and controlled, and ruined, men, women, and children under its influence since Mohammad’s time. Even those who come to America, many of them, perhaps most of them, hate America, because we contradict everything they were taught growing up. They hate the brutality of where they come from, and they hate America because the freedom we have here, goes against the beliefs about themselves and others that they had instilled in them from birth, passed on to them from previous generations.

    Sort of like the fat person who loses a bunch of weight, but inside, she (or he) still ‘knows’ she is fat. These people are psychologically fucked up, for lack of a more refined word.

    John Mayer wrote a song called ‘Belief.’ Some of the most powerful and insightful lyrics I have heard. In part …

    We’re never gonna win the world
    We’re never gonna stop the war
    We’re never gonna beat this
    If belief is what we’re fighting for

    They have beliefs that are so completely ingrained in them, giving them freedom doesn’t free them. They get angry over freedom. Freedom is the antithesis of what they know, believe, practice, and have made into a religion. They are, to a large extent, slaves to a murderer and pedophile who lived a long time ago.

    The problem is, we don’t have time to ‘re-program’ or de-program a few hundred million people, if it could be done at all, and I’m not sure it could. They are out to kill the infidels, and inflict all kinds of other damage, whatever they want, really, per the explicit instructions of the Koran, not ‘updated’ or ‘revised’ since it was written.

    They respect and respond to force and violence, and that’s about it. No negotiations, reasoning, logic, emotion. Nothing else.

    “Here-to-die-for-Allah” screaming Qur’an-carrying-Jihadi has nothing to do with the “Allah” he screams he is there to die for, nor with the Qur’an he is toting, nor with the jihadi he is in living color.

    “When opportunity arises…………”

    Who are the infidels?All non-muslims.

    Where do you find them? Airports,shopping malls,Churches and Synagogues,walking along promenades,Nightclubs…everywhere there is human life basically…

    What does allah say to do with them?Kill them.
    “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them”k2:191

    What would Almighty GOD say?Thou shalt not kill.Murder is condemned by Me.Anyone who encourages murder or commands others to do evil is My enemy.Anyone who pretends to be Me and commands others to do evil is My adversary.

      One entity says, “Love one another.” And, “Let the little children come to Me.”

      The other entity says, “Kill everyone who doesn’t belong to your club.” And, “Rape the little children.”

      One is Satan; the other is God. And we all know which is which.

    About that Islamic terror attack at that Paris airport by the jihad-minded Muslim which is that during his violent action he yelled out that “wanted to die in the name of Allah.” This reflects s the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran. As, for example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Nevertheless, the apologists for Islam still have the gall to make the claim the “Islam is a peaceful religion.” What an outlandishly false claim to make

    I’m not defending them but I’m sick of misleading headlines, captions and lead statements.
