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

Reunion Island: Muslim shoots and wounds two French cops as they try to arrest jihadi

Apr 27, 2017 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

“Interior Minister Matthias Fekl said the suspect’s mother was also being questioned.”

This is a generational conflict that will not be resolved by facile attempts at “deradicalization” that fail to address the root causes of “radicalization” in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

“Reunion island: French police shot by suspected Islamist,” BBC, April 26, 2017:

Two French police officers have been shot and wounded on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion as they tried to arrest a suspected radical Islamist.

The suspect opened fire with a shotgun as a special police squad raided his home in the town of Saint Benoit.

Police said the man, who is in his 20s and in custody, was spreading Islamist propaganda online.

Weapons and ingredients used to make Molotov cocktails were found at his flat, France’s interior minister said.

Local media said the officers were not seriously injured and the suspect was also shot during the raid….

France’s counter-terrorism authorities have opened an investigation into the incident.

Interior Minister Matthias Fekl said the suspect’s mother was also being questioned.

Reunion, which lies between Madagascar and Mauritius, is a French overseas territory and has the same political status as other departments in mainland France….

    Robert Spencer is right again, but who will listen?

    He wrote above: “This is a generational conflict that will NOT be resolved by FACILE attempts at “deradicalization” that fail to address the ROOT CAUSES of “radicalization” in the Qur’an and SUNNAH.” (my emphasis added)

    The root causes of JIHADISM are in the CANONICAL INTERPRETATIONS of the ISLAMIC SCHOLARLY CONSENSUS DERIVED from the Sira, hadiths and Koran. THESE INTERPRETATIONS ARE NOT MERELY ‘OPINIOINS’ that can be lightly brushed aside, let alone ‘REFORMED’, not to mention ‘DERADICALIZED’.

    A complete deprogramming is required to stop jihad.

      No-one really knows how to deprogramme jihadis. Deprogramming attempts have had very poor success rates in the past. We know from experience in the 1970s and 1980s that cult deprogramming is very hit and miss and depends entirely on the psychology of the individual involved. The best solution here is unfortunately for Islam to be banned, mosques to be shut down and muslim preachers to be deported. Nothing less is going to work.

        You deprogram mujahidin with a 9mm round applied behind the left ear. All jihad activity immediately and permanently ceases.

      YOU pay for the decades it will take to deprogram 1.7 BILLION Muslims.

      I’m not willing to pay for it, or to wait for it to finally work – maybe – while innocents are being killed all over the world.

      How KIND you are to the monsters.

    I expect that the French Government will bring the family to Paris, put them on the dole, profusely apologize to them ,and then expect that after sufficient prostration before them, the family will see the light and practice the moderate version of Islam.Why should they not, that has been France’s national policy for decades.

    I am rooting for Le Pen. I hope that she is going to prevail and that all the negative mainstream press and polling is, as it was in the case of President Trump, false and only designed to keep most French citizens from coming out to vote.

      There are a lot of people rooting for Le Pen.

      Even on the other side of the world I live in New Zealand, and a total Trump supporter, and hoping, hoping hoping Le Pen will win and start the right wing grinding out the muslim scourge in all of Europe.

    “…the same political status as other departments in mainland France” means that all the citizens of Reunion, as with the island of Mayotte, are EU citizens, entitled to entry to the Schengen zone, and to European welfare.
    Isn’t the EU marvellous?

    Now are all these islands being infested by Moslem parasites? With Europe off limits as vacation spots where are going to go on a vacation!!

      Try visiting the US. IT HAS SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL AREAS-
      The beaches (my view-I live in Florida) are probably as good as those in Europe (and less chance of a terrorist driving a truck on the beach); the Grand canyon is a majestic sight; and the Rockies at sunrise- watching the mountains seem to change color as the sun moves up on the horizon, through clouds and then no clouds, and as the sun rises- absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous .

      And, supporting Americans, not Europeans who despise Americans and America but want our money and blood to defend them.

      AMERICA FIRST.
      (yes, I have been to Europe). (And seen the G. C., and the Rockies at sunrise-best place-my view- Gallup, New Mexico).

    Mortimer, I agree with you completely, but you can not deprogrammed all those people who are already in this mental state, unless you can provide a personal psychiatrist for everyone. Too far gone and who has to pay for that on top of the housing, the food, welfare , healthcare, money, furniture.
    They get more money than most europeans and still want more for cigarettes and money to send home.
    Deprogramming so many people, to me that is impossible, because you have to deprogram their children and grandchildren too, they were raised with so much hate already.
    This is not our fault, they should never have come here. They should go back to their countries and raise themselves and pay for it themselves, but we will not let them destroy our society.We raised ourselves with Christ, and try to live by it. They had the same choice, but held on to their prophet.
    Even the good muslim has no chance to leave Islam, they get beheaded too. May our God/Christ help you and have merci on you.

      Given the Islamic strategy called Taqiyyah, we don’t even know who a “good Muslim” might be.

      And until they do a polygraph-confirmed swearing-off of Islam, they are not to be trusted.

    Ah, they’re out campaigning for Marine Le Pen in their own perverse way.

    Why is he in custody , why didn’t the police just shoot to Kill, it would save a lot of paperwork and wasting of taxpayers money ..

    • Jeanette says

      It would probably have lost the police their jobs, and maybe worse, if they did something unpleasant to a lauded and preferred Muslim.
