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

Ramadan in Paris: Muslim screaming “It’s for Syria” attacks police with hammer outside Notre Dame Cathedral

Jun 6, 2017 1:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“Speaking after the attack, Collomb said police found kitchen knives, a hammer and other unsophisticated weapons on the wounded assailant.”

Jihad requires no sophistication. Just a will to murder.

“Notre Dame assailant cried ‘It’s for Syria,'” Associated Press, June 6, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):

PARIS (AP) The Latest on the security operation near the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris (all times local):

6:05 p.m.

Paris prosecutors have opened a counterterrorism investigation after an unidentified assailant attacked police with a hammer outside Notre Dame Cathedral.

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb says the attacker cried “it’s for Syria” as he went after officers patrolling an esplanade in front of the famous landmark.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said the investigation was opened Tuesday soon after the attack. The attacker was shot and wounded in the incident in one of France’s most popular tourist areas.

Speaking after the attack, Collomb said police found kitchen knives, a hammer and other unsophisticated weapons on the wounded assailant.

It was the latest of several attacks in France targeting security officers. In April, an attacker opened fire on a police van on Paris’ Champs Elysees, killing one and gravely wounding two others. The attacker was shot dead by police.

5:35 p.m.

Witnesses around Notre Dame Cathedral are describing a dramatic police operation in the tourist-filled site in central Paris.

Lawrence Langner, a 73-year-old American visiting the neighborhood just across the Seine River from the cathedral, told The Associated Press that he suddenly heard a commotion and two detonations like gunshots.

Journalist David Metreau, who said his office overlooks the square, tweeted that there were two blasts that sounded like shots, and posted a photo of a body lying seemingly inert on the ground.

Others posted photos online of what appeared to be the interior of medieval Notre Dame, one of France’s most-visited monuments.

Paris police say an operation around Notre Dame Cathedral is over, after an attacker who targeted police with a hammer was shot and injured….

    “French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb says the attacker cried ‘it’s for Syria’”

    What? No omission, or, “We don’t know his motives”? Did Collomb get the Mayor’s permission to say that?

    Any wagers on the terrorist’s name bring a derivative of Muhammad?

    If they had tighter hammer control laws, this would have never happened.

      strict gun control is even MORE IMPORTANT-probably the most important thing in stopping these attacks – the shots must be ACCURATE – on target, and PRECISE- group the shots tightly around the target so that no innocents are injured!

    • WPM says

      Jun 8, 2017 at 8:10 am

      Yes we need hammer control waiting list to get a hammer. Limit the number of hammers ,weight of hammer, handle length, need a license to own one. Next we need to the same for bricks and stones!

      M.P.Macron will put out an all points bulletin to be on the look out for wayward carpenters ,they are a very devious lot according to the progressives out there. There number one enemy according to rumor was once one his name Jesus Christ he lead a large group of people that progressives feel should be wipe out.. They feel (the progressives) the Moslems could do the job nicely for them. The France still have a few Jews in there country the Nazis the friendenemies missed a few, they were in France in the mid 1940s you remember them, well the Moslems could work on that problem too!

    For those who don’t understand jihadist language “It’s for Syria” translates to:
    “It’s for a land we pillaged”, “it’s for a land whose citizens we terrorize and massacre on a daily basis”, “It’s for a land we don’t even want to call Syria anyway”, “it’s for a land where we spread chaos and destruction and put all the blame on you”.

    This is ,very much, a reminder of those vicious and murderous Islamic terror attacks in the city of Paris , on November 13, 2015, is because of those jihad-minded Muslim males who are so extremely deluded and irrational because they really believed in the nonsensical , strange and far –fetched doctrine contained in the Koran, of sex-filled paradise with black eye- houris, virgins, in it for the male Muslim who dies as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam fighting in the jihad. As, this bizarre Islamic doctrine of a houris -filled place is found in the Koran in, for example, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31. So this odd and outlandish Koranic doctrine inspired many young Muslims males to commit many horrendous, ruthless, heartless and murderous actions of jihad violence. Those vicious jihadists’ massacres that occurred in Paris was most wicked and hideous. That extreme deadly evil caused by those jihadist/Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the weird and false doctrine from the Koran of such a houris, filled paradise that had the outcome of mass murder and chaos in the city of Paris. This is a strong reminder of the wise statement written by the French philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

    The police responded.

    I am sure CNN will declare it to be a police over-reaction. CNN or MSNBC will ask why they used their sophisticated firearms against the poor Jihadis unsophisticated weapons. .

    But the saddest photos of all were the people crowded in the Cathedral and forced to remain there with their hands up.. Saw it in Nice, saw it in London and again here. Jidadis attack and Government uses the attack to humiliate and treat the law abiding as though they were the suspects. They are being conditioned to accept such treatment for their protection.

    • RationalVoice says

      Jun 6, 2017 at 5:03 pm

      No the reason for that is obviously not to humiliate.Its an easy way to see unidentified terrorists who may join the crowd being evacuated by the police.They can more easily see if someone is carrying a knife or a gun if the hands are in the air and they can’t detonate a bomb without dropping their hands.
      Same reason why soldiers require their captives in war to put their hands in the air.!
      I am sure people would prefer to lose a little dignity than get killed by a terrorist.Joining the escaping crowd is a tactic used by many terrorists at events such as the Iranian Embassy siege in London some years back

      • Bill says

        Jun 6, 2017 at 6:15 pm

        And they do not trust the people in the crowd to call out the perp? I am sure that the crowd in the Cathedral were capable of defending themselves. Oh wait, this is Gun Free Paris. They were not.

        You said “Same reason why soldiers require their captives in war to put their hands in the air.!”

        Yeah, but these were not captured enemy combatants, were they? The were held in that place for an hour or more like hostages. Why any one would visit France or England now amazes me.

        Yes.

        If *I* am in a situation where *my* soldiers, or *my* police are having to deal with jihadis, I don’t want to end up getting shot because they mistook me for one of the Bad Guys/ Gals!

      Shouldn’t bring a hammer to a gunfight.

      How can people who cannot be trusted to understand the proper use of a vehicle, a pressure cooker, a kitchen knife, or a hammer be incorporated into the life of a civilized nation?

    An important symbol of the Christianity that once inspired Frenchmen to greatness, and an object of hate for the new arrivals who are rapidly replacing Christianity.

    Whatever happened to black-irised (dark eyes) (silkier than silk) black haired girls with pure White translucent skin? (original Aryan phenotype)

    Civilize, self-realize: Teach philosophy and science at early age to child. Good books and good teachers change lives: live ahimsically whenever possible. Obviously at some point some one has to be able and willing to defend Ahimsa.

    Do we not have a Delta Force, SAS, or some French equal to make these folks disappear? Black Ops, I think the Military calls this.

    Any school kid in Chicago can go find a gun on the black market, is there not a Mafia/Black market in London/Paris to provide such things?

    During WWII people behind enemy lines made their own firearms, while in the 1950’s gangs of youths made what they call “Zip Guns”.

    The only way to stop a bully is to sand up to them.

      We can not start killing and shooting Islamics in the street ,we are a country of laws. Pass laws to start massive deportation to Islamic countries the house of Shite and the house of Sunni should be sent back home to the sand box that it was born out of. Any talk of killing in the street brings us done to there level. If you have imams giving hate summons deport,, some young Islamic blows himself up killing some Kaffar in the process deport his family.

    The Muslim assailants are proudly declaring their motives as they begin their attacks. There is no question that they know why they are attacking.

    There should be a study done of the declared motives and statements by jihad terrorists since 9-11.

    • aDhimmiSaysWhat? says

      Jun 6, 2017 at 9:27 pm

      Your idea of a study is completely rational. Unfortunately, it would be considered racist.

    The MSM loves the story of Islamic terrorists attacking us “for Iraq/Afghanistan”, but how would they feel about and characterize Westerners attacking Muslims here “for 9/11”?

  16. R Cole says

    Jun 7, 2017 at 6:05 am

    Again this is the third attack on western soil, where the Islamic jihadist calls out ‘this is for…’ and appears not to have used the customary ‘Allah Akbar’ during the terror attack.

    In London the attackers said ‘this is for Allah,’ ‘this is for Islam’ and with yesterday’s Paris Notre Dame attack it’s ‘this is for Syria.’

  17. FYI says

    Jun 7, 2017 at 6:34 am

    Are you sure he didn’t say “This is for Ala..n”?

    Maybe he was simply asking for directions.

    “Alan’s Snackbar?
    Ou est Alan’s snackbar?”

    It couldn’t possibly be a muslim:they belong to the religion of peace,don’t they?

    Let’s all blame Alan instead.

    From the article – “Speaking after the attack, Collomb said police found kitchen knives, a hammer and other unsophisticated weapons on the wounded assailant.”

    Just like 1001 similar jihad attacks – on unarmed civilians, on cops, on soldiers – that have been carried out in Israel by the local Muslims.

    Hammers, knives, scissors.

    How soon until the *rock-throwing* starts??

    When are we going to discover gangs of mohammedthugs heaving big rocks off highway overpasses, whether in Europe, or Australia, or in the USA, just like they do routinely in Israel?

    When is a mob of mohammedans in a ‘no-go’ area going to try to lynch some hapless non-Muslim motorist whose GPS navigator navigates them in there inadvertently… just as has happened, more than once, in Israel?

    **Everything** the Mohammedans have recently done in Europe – in Manchester, in London, in France – **they have been doing in Israel, to Jews, for years**.
