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

Paris: Muslim seizes soldier’s gun after shooting police officer

Mar 18, 2017 9:02 am By Robert Spencer

“The man was known to police and intelligence services,” but they have so many such people to keep up with, they can’t possibly keep close track of them all. And meanwhile, French authorities are planning on bringing in more Muslims, among whom will be an unknowable number of Islamic jihadis, and anyone who objects is a far-right, xenophobic bigot.

“Man shot dead after seizing soldier’s gun at Paris Orly airport,” by Gus Trompiz and Emmanuel Jarry, Reuters, March 18, 2017:

Security forces shot dead a man who seized a soldier’s gun at Paris Orly airport in France on Saturday soon after the same man shot and wounded a police officer during a routine police check, the interior minister said.

The man was known to police and intelligence services, Interior Minister Bruno le Roux told reporters. A police source described him as a radicalized Muslim but did not identify him by name.

The anti-terrorism prosecutor opened an investigation.

The busy Orly airport south of Paris was evacuated and security forces swept the area for bombs to make sure the dead man was not wearing an explosive belt, but nothing was found, interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told Reuters.

“The man succeeded in seizing the weapon of a soldier. He was quickly neutralized by the security forces,” Brandet said.

Noone else was injured at the airport.

Flights were suspended from both terminals of the airport and some flights were diverted to Charles de Gaulle airport north of the capital, airport operator ADP said.

Earlier, a police officer was shot and wounded by the same man during a routine traffic check in Stains, north of Paris….

    Apparently when you get off the airport in Paris now you are met by multiple soldiers with automatic weapons, with their finger on the trigger aimed in your general direction. No way am I ever going to Paris.

          Exactly! I am so sick of the ” all religions and peoples are equal” government ruling that is so heavily sided with all that is Islam with funding for religious pretension at an all time high. It won’t be long before their own heads are in buckets outside sainsburys, or at least members of their own family’s who will not submit. We need to get the government to listen , instead of turning their faces from the religious instructions which are in the Koran itself. We need a government that will make Islam illegal.

      Who would want to go to a Muslim stronghold, anyway? I can’t imagine that anyone other than liberals (brainwashed by liberal media) would want to do that.

      • gravenimage says

        Paris is no more than 10% Muslim. It is not a Muslim stronghold.

    I remember a Paris in which I never ever thought about Mohammedans/Islam/Jihad but just visited lots of places without fear and had a fabulous time (1990’s). That Paris no longer exists.

        Churchill said “Never give up.”

        He was a brilliant man, and I think we should all take his advice.

        But where, oh where, is a Churchill for our time?

      I remember that Paris, too. And the previous versions of many other cities in Europe and England.

      What a pity. What a disgusting, infuriating pity.

        “No matter how they change her, I’ll remember her that way.” The Last Time I saw Paris was written when the Nazis had taken it but it now applies to the muslim invasion.

    Dear Friends,

    Rex Tillerson is coming to Turkey to meet with Erdogan and Mevlut Çavusoğlu on the 30th of March. This is extremely dangerous for us as Turkish seculars, because dictator erdogan will use it for the upcoming referendum. Erdogan will use this visit as a victory..

    Is there any way to postpone Tillerson’s visit? At least after the 16th of April.

    There must be an article in the US constitution about not interfering other countries elections/referendums.

    Please help us to stop this visit. We are just about to win against erdogan.

        Where will all these children live and what will they eat? This earth is a FINITE home. It is cruel to bring children to the world to starve or to be homeless. The only action that they will have to take is to take what we in the rest of Europe have, there will be civil war!

          Have you thought that that might be the intention of the globalist elites?

          After all, they want to reduce the world population from 7 billion to 1/2 of one billion. What better quick start than to allow the Muslims to reduce it down to 1.7 billion (the Muslims), and then go from there?

          This would also remove the single most difficult stumbling block to the elites’ planned One World Government … western civilization.

      Mar 18, 2017 at 10:14 am

      EmHotep,
      do you believe that that canceling the visit can stop Erdogan?
      I think the referendum is just a formality, and he will become the Supreme Leader of Turkey anyway. (I wonder what is he now if he needs yet referendum)

      • EmHotep says

        Mar 18, 2017 at 10:46 am

        Hi Vladkoval, at the moment NO votes are 57% and Yes only 43%, people are waking up here in Turkey. Because of this erdogan started to campaign and attack in EU to collect the dual citizen’s votes. The dictator needs to create enemies or strong friends, and EU said NO to him. If Mr.Tillerson cancels his meeting with a statement of not to interfere foreign elections, erdogan followers will understand that the US is not behind him and they will be more afraid.

        In any case we are fighting against him just need a little support from US. Erdogan is the worst person after Hitler not only for us but for the good people of the world.

        Best Regards

BE SURE TO STATE THAT YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN BUT TURKISH AND POLITELY STATE YOUR CONCERNS AS A CITIZEN OF TURKEY. IF YOU HAVE OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT ERDOGAN WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITHOUT FEAR FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT THEN PLEASE DO SO. P.S. BE SURE TO USE CORRECT ENGLISH AND GRAMMAR SO YOUR MESSAGE WILL BE TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY. HOPE THIS HELPS. GOOD LUCK.

      • Jaladhi says

        Mar 19, 2017 at 3:26 pm

        Thanks for your suggestion but I think Ireland also have lots of Muslims who want to create problem now and then but Ireland seems to be more safe and secure place to visit than England, Scotland and Europe!

        • Marlowe says

          Mar 20, 2017 at 8:22 am

          The Irish tolerate exactly the same multiculturalism and mass immigration that the rest of western Europe has. The Irish are some of the most liberal/PC people in the world in appeasing Islam. The only reason there are no jihadist attacks here is that they use Ireland as a nice, quiet logistics and finance/money laundering base so they don’t want to call attention to themselves. The headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe is in Dublin. The mosque in Cork was funded by an anonymous Qatari. Irish people are completely ignorant about Islam and about the state of the rest of Europe and are way behind everyone else in waking up. That’s why there is no political opposition to mass immigration and Islam here. They will refuse to learn until it’s too late. The reputation the Irish have for independence and loving freedom is a total anachronism. The vast majority have long since sold out for the money that comes from appeasement and kowtowing to the EU. Ireland simply copies the mistakes that everyone else has made several decades later.

    This awful jihad incident occurred in Paris because of the folly of the French government of allowing all those Muslim migrants to enter he nation of France to live. The real function of any good government of the protect and safety and lives of it’s citizens. by the fool policy of allowing all those Muslim migrants in France Therefore, the government of France failed in it’s function . As seen in for example those Islamic terror attack two years ago in Paris and then Nice. That murderous jihad attack occur in place and time is because of Islam .As the Quran instructs 9111 “The believers fight in Allah’s cause,they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.”‘ Islam -What a death cult it had proven itself to be !

      I’m not so sure that the globalist elites who are infesting their western countries with Muslims CARE what the governments are supposed to be doing; they have other plans.

      These elites are running the world currently, and they want to reduce the world population from 7 billion to 1/2 of one billion (as per U.N. Agenda 2030 – they want most of the world population dead by 2030).

      What better quick start than to disarm Europeans and allow the Muslims to reduce it down to 1.7 billion (the Muslims)?

      This would have the additional benefit of removing the single most difficult stumbling block to the elites’ planned One World Government … western civilization.

      • Jeanette says

    Few people are travelling to Paris, thanks to the Muslims. Hollande is in bed with the Muslims because they are a growing political body, while the Christians-in-name-only French people are not having babies because they are taxed to death to pay for the Muslim babies.

    I was listening to my local radio news at lunchtime and they said the French security services have got 15,000 jihadis they are trying to keep track of.
    How can any security service keep track of that many enemies of the state?

    I did a google search on soldiers in France. The war has already started, it was never officially announced.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/15/paris-attacks-operation-sentinelle-soldiers-patrolling-streets-france-safer

    “… The now permanent presence of thousands of soldiers in khaki across the capital and major cities has transformed the image and mood of France. Operation Sentinelle, in which combat troops patrol streets and protect key sites – from synagogues to art galleries, nursery schools to mosques and Métro stations – is the army’s first wide-scale peacetime military operation on mainland France.

    Sentinelle was launched after the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015. But after November’s attacks that killed 130 people, Hollande increased the presence to 10,000 troops across the nation, with about 6,500 of them in the Paris area…

    … in his office at the vast Invalides military complex in Paris, Col Benoît Brulon, spokesman for Operation Sentinelle in the Paris region, said the military operation was not just a psychological antidote for a worried nation. ‘It’s an operation like all the anti-terrorism measures, a combat measure. We’re engaged in a conflict, a war, in which we fight against terrorists. We’re not just here to be visible – even if that visibility helps the resilience of the nation.'”

      Any Free French reading here who are of the proper age – 18-35 in particular – and physically fit, and are Islamo-aware, should seriously consider enlisting in the army.

      And if not in the army, then in whatever is the French equivalent of the Army Reserve. That way, you will have some discipline and training, as and when you might *need* to be ‘called up’.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Mar 19, 2017 at 7:06 am

        Further thought: Islamoaware French jihadwatchers, reading and lurking here, might consider proposing to Marine Le Pen that she talk to the Swiss, the Singaporeans, and the Israelis, about compulsory military training – NOT for foreign adventures, but strictly for homeland security-and-defence – for all physically-and-mentally-able young French *infidels*.

    “The man succeeded in seizing the weapon of a soldier. He was quickly neutralized by the security forces,” Brandet said.

    All in all, a 100% successful outcome 🙂
