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

Paris jihadi on terror watch list, texted family “I shot police,” cops say terror “possible motive”

Mar 18, 2017 10:28 am By Robert Spencer

“Police sources told Reuters he was a ‘radicalised Muslim known to intelligence services.’ Terror was being investigated as a possible motive.”

A “possible motive.”

Yes, it could be any number of other things. If the establishment media and witless French authorities get really lucky, they’ll discover that Ziyed Ben Belgacem supported Trump.

“‘I shot the police’: Chilling text message Paris Orly airport attacker sent to family after shooting officer,” by Chris Kitching, Mirror, March 18, 2017 (thanks to David):

A “radicalised Muslim” shot dead at Paris’ Orly airport sent a chilling text message to family after shooting a police officer in the face.

The man, identified by French media as Ziyed Ben Belgacem, told his brother and father moments after the attack on the officer: “I shot the police”.

Less than two hours later he was shot dead after trying to steal an automatic rifle from a female soldier on patrol at the airport south of Paris.

Police later detained the man’s brother and father, and raided the man’s home in Garges-les-Gonesse, a Paris suburb.

The news station stated that the detention of the brother and father, who presented themselves to a police station, was “standard procedure” during such an investigation.

A large security perimeter was set up as police raided the suspect’s home.

French officials revealed the man was on a terror watch list and had been known to police and intelligence services for months.

Police sources told Reuters he was a “radicalised Muslim known to intelligence services”.

Terror was being investigated as a possible motive….

    It is obvious that most Europeans are as brain dead about Muslims as their counterpart in the USA

    It is beyond comprehension how IT competent Europeans looking at the latest technologies are utterly in DENIAL of all Facts & Reality

    Tragically, the only way they may awaken from their comatose state will require the death and slaughter of several hundreds or thousands more by ‘radicalized’ Muslim!

      Yes, it’s got to get a lot worse before there is even a chance of it getting better.

      YES Rassooli…! All that western education, training and intelligence equal to zero when it comes to dealing with Islam. The problem and the solution are so obvious yet the Europeans (and the Americans) get it wrong every time. Tens of thousands of ex muslims have been warning against the threat of islam (in fact, even some radical muslims, like Chowdery, made their intentions clear) but the West only listens to those who say what they want to hear.
      Its like a student gets the questions and the answers before the exam and still fails..!!
      I dont normally believe in conspiracies but I cannot find an explanation other than the Europeans actually WANT this to happen.

        It is simple. Western culture does not like itself so they want to die. It is called cultural suicide.

        • Michael says

          Mar 18, 2017 at 6:32 pm

          There seems to be something like that, Sam. There is a severe guilt complex in America, perhaps in Europe, too — I guess it must be there, as well — guilty for being successful, having wealth (not necessarily great wealth; wealth greater than most of the world), guilty for being white (and if white, then male). It is a self-hatred that seems to wish this brutality upon itself, like it is deserved. And no facts or truth pierces the guilt. It’s been inbred in Western cultures for many decades.

        The Western leaders aren’t in slumber nor ignorance of islam’s doctrine of violence as played out by its followers to the tee. They are using islam and muslims as a tool against their own citizens to create chaos and violence to achieve their tyrannical goal of nwo. That’s why they are so persistent in letting in the islamic violence to do their bidding.

          If that’s their aim, it’s the kind that can horrifically misfire. The New World Order people won’t necessarily win the internal war that they’re so stupidly setting up.

      Rassooli,

      Indeed, and I am saying that for years. It will be utter mayhem, then the people will ignore the law and fight. There does not seem to be an alternative.

      The only ‘good thing’ is that the people will hold Merkel, Hollande, Obama, Sarkozy etc., to account. And the ‘free press’. Wont be courtroom and lawyer justice, but one thing it will be: “In the name of the people!”

      But the suffering till then – heartbreaking, sickening.

    First, the motive for such murderous violence is very clear for all people who are willing to see the truth about that false and deadly religion which is Islam. The motive for that violence was a religious motive, as to be specific the religion of Islam .
    Second, all those who even attempt to shoot police officers must have murderous intentions. They are blatant villains, be they jihadist Muslim’s or not. The Bible teaches that a murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God. “ Galatians 5:21. Furthermore, in the Bible in Romans 13: 1, 2 it is written “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resist resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.” [N.K.J.V.] In addition to all this, in verses 3 and 4 in this same chapter of the Epistle of Romans, with emphasis on verse 4 it actually refers to governmental law enforcement officers as a type of “ministers of God” Therefore, it stands to reason that engaging in violence towards police officers are really, engaging in violence towards ministers of God. How evil, how heinously wicked, how demonic, how monstrous. What and affront to all that is decent, good and right.

      Dude, I love reading your posts and your heart for Christ!

      We both know that He’s just establishing His kingdom

    • TheBuffster says

      Mar 19, 2017 at 10:30 am

      Walter, that part of the Bible about all authority coming from God and that the authorities that exist were appointed by God, etc., has always morally bothered me. There are “authorities” all over the world that ought to be resisted rather than obeyed.

      Does that Bible passage mean that the Founding Fathers of the USA were sinning against God when they rebelled against the British Crown?

      Were Germans who hid Jews and others from the SS and Gestapo, who were in authority in Germany, going against the authority of God?

      The problem with the terrorists isn’t that they’re going against legal authority, it’s that they’re committing murder and other violent crimes against human beings, which is objectively evil even if it’s done by the highest legal authority in the land.

    A 39yr old ‘radicalised’ Muslim. Bah. A recidivist Muslim more likely. No mention of his mental health, yet, but we can garner some positive from this ‘incident’, namely he’s now gathering raisins (did anyone ask the raisins if they’d prefer to remain as intact raisins?)

    It’s always a Muslim. The world would be a much safer place without Muslims. Everywhere they go they cause death and destruction.

    OK, we can afford to suppress the label “terrorist”, just like the social manipulators demand, and truthfully call it JIHAD.

    Somebody else will have to save Europe. Europe will not. Maybe divided beteween U.S.A., UK, and Russia again, the only solution?
    The voters in Europe will vote for islam and the destruction of Europe.

    Just heard a CBS affiliate radio station report that a “French National” shot the police and was killed at Orly. A French national. Talk about FAKE NEWS.

    The only way to stop jihad-terrorism is if GOVERNMENT AGENCIES develop protocols to completely DEPROGRAM MUSLIMS RIGHT OUT OF ISLAM.

    Only government agencies have the resources to create courses of study and protocols for DEPROGRAMMING MUSLIMS.

    It is time for the COUNTERJIHAD to move into IDEOLOGICAL WARFARE with an ADVANCED SUPER-MODERN DEPROGRAMMING PROTOCOL.

      When has this ever worked, Mortimer? You can call it “super modern” if you like, but the fact is that it does not exist.

    comforting that he was on a watch list. just keep watching them, including while they murder someone. ‘watch list’ seems to mean ‘he is going to kill someone, we’re just not sure when and where and who. we’ll keep watching him until!’ Why have a watch list, if you do nothing? Why not make ‘watch list’ a ‘deport list’? If there is enough to put someone on a watch list — you suspect they’re going to kill someone — what is it that stops said suspect from being booted out right now?

    but that’s now how it works. Tolerance. Diversity. Embrace one another. Peace. Peace be upon you. what a boatload of bullshit.

    It is evident that the Trump ban has caused this incident. Everything about this event points to this fact. Right?

    THE PARIS PROSECUTOR HAS NOW CALLED THIS ‘TERRORISM’
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/780949/Paris-Orly-airport-police-attack-Ziyed-Ben-Belgacem-picture-ISIS-terror-Allah

    “According to testimony of soldiers who witnessed the attack, he put his air gun to the head of a female soldier and shouted to other soldiers with her: “Put your weapons down, put your hands on your head.

    “I am here to die for Allah. In any case, there will be deaths.”
    ………………….

    They upgraded their investigation from a criminal one to a terrorist attack as they revealed three people – his cousin, father and brother – are being held in police custody.

    François Molins, the chief prosecutor, told a press conference this evening Belgacem’s choice of target and evidence he had been radicalised justified launching a terrorism investigation.

    He said Belgacem threw a gasoline canister to the ground then attacked the female soldier by placing a hand airgun to her temple.

    Mar 18, 2017 at 8:30 pm

    Less than two hours later he was shot dead after trying to steal an automatic rifle from a female soldier

    Ah, the fabled bravery of the “lions of islam”…

    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
