France: No hate crime charge for Muslim who murdered Jewish woman while screaming “Allahu akbar”

Jul 15, 2017 10:35 am By Robert Spencer

A hate crime can only be committed by “right-wing extremists” against Muslims. Don’t you know that by now, you greasy Islamophobe?

“French Jews fume as prosecutors reject hate crime in Jewish woman’s murder,” JTA, July 15, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

PARIS — Leaders of French Jewry strongly criticized the absence of a mention of hate crime in the indictment of a Paris man who killed his Jewish neighbor while shouting about Allah.

CRIF, the umbrella group of French Jewish community, used uncharacteristically harsh language in criticizing the indictment for murder filed by prosecutors Wednesday against Kobili Traore, who confessed to killing 66-year-old Sarah Halimi on April 4 and throwing her dying body from the third-story window of her apartment.

“CRIF is astonished that the anti-Semitic character of the murder was omitted,” read the statement of the organization, which over the past two weeks has presented on the homepage of its website a running meter with the number of days it took authorities to file an indictment. CRIF has accused authorities of covering up and silencing the slaying of Halimi along with mainstream media.

Traore, 27, who has no history of mental illness, initially was hospitalized in a psychiatric institution as per his insanity plea. He knew that Halimi, a physician and kindergarten teacher, was Jewish and had called her daughter “dirty Jew” in the elevator two years ago, the daughter told French Jewish media.

The Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism joined CRIF’s criticism of the indictment.

“The personality of the criminal, who shouted ‘Allah hu akbar [Arabic for “Allah is the greatest”] as Islamo-Fascists do, his modus operandi, and his choice of a victim he knew was Jewish affirm our thesis and certitude: This crime is incontestably anti-Semitic,” the bureau, a nongovernmental watchdog group, wrote in a statement….

    Of course, it is not a hate crime. |his murder was commanded by Allah, making it a religious rite.

      And that is what they should be attacking, and endlessly. All these serial homicides by muslims are religiously inspired despite the desperate denials of the west and the lying by muslims and Islam.
      This is religiously inspired serial homiciding of non muslims.

    Looks like France’s lawyers and court system have bowed like dhimmis to Islam. But I can still hope that CRIF takes their plea to Macron and he will set it right based on his vow to fight terror.
    Because it is terror when an innocent person is murdered and that innocent has nothing to do with his/her murderer. RIP innocent Jewish lady. I hope you get justice.

    I find it astonishing the degree to which western governments will bend over backward to shield islamic hate and violence from exposure. We see this all the time with western courts and politicians making excuses for muslims and their fake religion. It’s either “cultural incompetence,” or they are victims of economic oppression, or it’s violence in the workplace, or we goaded them to murder with a cartoon… it’s never that they are responsible for their own violent actions and religion, it’s always somehow our fault we are getting attacked and killed by muslims. Here’s an interesting par. from an article on “victimhood.”

    In claiming the status of victim and by assigning all blame to others, a person can achieve moral superiority while simultaneously disowning any responsibility for one’s behavior and its outcome. The victims ‘merely’ seek justice and fairness. If they become violent, it is only as a last resort, in self-defense. The victim stance is a powerful one. The victim is always morally right, neither responsible nor accountable, and forever entitled to sympathy.

    Whoever wrote that could have had muslims in mind because it fits perfectly. Muslims have made blaming the victim their excuse for every crime under the sun, from raping women (and then stoning them for it) to killing the infidel (because they dared to be spiritually and intellectually free). I think we in the west have fallen for their baby-tricks long enough. It’s time our governments take a serious hard look at the murder and mayhem these “victims” are causing for their religion, and then do something about it. I think I’m making reasonably good sense with this, I don’t think I’m asking too much.

      Yes, and always blame the victims of islamic hate who have been murdered, tortured, or raped. Everyone knows it’s their own fault for pi$$ing off allah, a god with the morals of a demon. Geesh! why are we even talking about this? Let’s all just bow our necks now and take our well-deserved punishment.

    I wish all this “hate crime” nonsense would just disappear. A crime is a crime is crime, be it murder, rape, assault or arson, and should be prosecuted as such. Seeking “special rights” for some classes of victims distorts the course of justice and sows division in the larger society. Unfortunately, that is exactly the agenda of those who seek to promulgate these “special rights” and in that, they are succeeding, spectacularly.

    • RonaldB says

      Jul 15, 2017 at 12:20 pm

      I’m with you 100%. The designation of hate crime is a red herring. Sarah Halimi is just as dead whether she was murdered by a Jew-hating Muslim or a vagrant searching for quarters.

      Focusing attention on the hate crime designation draws attention away from the general situation of justice and security. If a special hate crime designation is necessary for a sufficient penalty for the murderer, then obviously the general penalty for murder is not sufficient. Breivik, the Norwegian who murdered over 70 teens in cold blood, was only able to be sentenced to a definite 23 years. Would a hate crime designation improve Norwegian justice in that instance?

      If, on the other hand, the penalty for a heinous crime is sufficient for justice and deterrence, the only function of following the red herring of hate crime is to set up a restriction on the freedom of expression…not that West Europe countries need any excuse for vicious suppression of speech at this point. But, the hate crime addendum will be triggered by more and more trivial actions, and the crime triggering it will become more and more petty, resulting in a situation that virtually any possible misdemeanor by a conservative will bring a potential penalty of years in prison.

        Agree about the threat to freedom of expression. In Germany, censorship a la Stasi is now going ahead under the Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz.

      Jul 15, 2017 at 11:58 pm

      Yes i agree. But if we are stuck with this stupid hate crime labelling it should at least by applied evenly. Unfortunately, hate crime labelling is just a tool of the left to race bait and divide people and only gets used when it suits there agenda. They dont want people to know how antisemitic Islam is.

    • Frank Anderson says

      Jul 16, 2017 at 1:57 am

      I was about to raise the same question. Your post is correct in my thoughts. Giving chosen classes extra protection also means removing equal protection under the law from others. In the US “equal protection” is an essential element of rights under the U.S. Constitution. If the penalties for “ordinary” crimes are not sufficient to deter them, increase the penalties AND THEN enforce them. I think in the US “hate crimes” may be subject to challenge in court for denial of equal protection. It may or may not work, but I think it is a valid question to argue and appeal.

    Jul 15, 2017 at 12:03 pm

    Of course it’s not a hate crime…

    Didn’t the UK establish, just a couple of days ago, that criticizing Islam and refusing to serve sausages is what a real hate crime looks like.

    I oppose using the term islamofascism. It implies that only fascism is prone to the use ov violence. But violence is in the core of Islam as well, as it was with the life of Mohammed.
    European prosecutors like downplaying the violence committed by Muslims against non-Muslims. The non-Muslim population can’t expect to be protected by the state.
    So there is no surprise that many jews are leaving Europe now.

    Jul 15, 2017 at 12:42 pm

    Is it any wonder that Jews are emigrating to Israel from the anti-Semitic France? The Republic is tossing the lives of non-Muslims to the wayside, especially Jews. More over, deeming this murder by a Muslim shouting Allahu Akbar during this heinous, and cowardly act a non-hate crime is preposterous. Cowardice is not solely fitting this Muslim coward but the spineless amoebas within France’s judiciary.

    Moreover, it is a fact that it is not right-wing elements committing murder and mayhem but the loathsome psychopaths, the true believers of the Religion of Genocide. France is not an anomaly within the realm of this absurdity and blatant injustice; the entirety of Western Democracy has conveniently made their judicial system a parody of justice for Infidels.

    Obviously, the French government in collusion with its justice system, feared a Muslim outbreak, if the killer would have been charged with Murder #1, which is exactly what it was! In addition, how could it not be a hate-crime? Hypocrisy in the extreme!
    I recall that circumstances leading to the murder were described some time ago. Both killer and victim lived in their apartments in the same apartment house. When the Muslim discovered a Jewish woman living there, he boasted to other apartment tenants that he would kill her. I believe she knew that he was publicly threatening to enact his “jihad” against her. He cited the directive specifying Muslim Jew-hate in his koran and what he must do about it, in his conversations with other apartment tenants. Time passed, nothing happened, Mrs. Halimi may have started to believe it was Traore boasting..
    Actually, he was waiting for his opportunity, which finally came.
    A 66 year-old school teacher, she was some threat to that Muslim murderer, wasn’t she?
    This is not the first French miscarriage of justice, and that is part of French yellow-belly history. There was the famous Captain Dreyfuss sentence to life in the French penal colony called “Devil’s Island” off the coast of South America. This was the “railroading” of a French Army officer who was Jewish. The arrest and trial should have been for Dreyfuss’ commanding officer, but Dreyfuss became the scapegoat, was convicted for a crime he was not guilty of. He spent years on Devil’s Island, until a French journalist by name of Emile Zola investigated the miscarriage of justice, found proof that Dreyfuss had been scapegoated in order that the real culprit, a General officer, would remain free and clear of any crime. Zola himself, was threatened by “the establishment”, but continued to battle for Dreyfuss’ freedom. Finally, Zola prevailed, a retrial took place, undeniable evidence was presented, and Dreyfuss was freed, the General officer disgraced. Dreyfuss wanted only to return to the Army, and was decorated with medals, promoted, and continued loyal service. Who was the truly loyal French patriot? Dreyfuss, of course. The perpetrating General officer at French Army HQ then lived in disgrace as a civilian afterward.
    For anyone to whom “Devil’s Island” is unknown, it was an “escape-proof” island off of So. American coast, which was mostly a swampy island, surrounded by sharks, salt water crocodiles, every manner of snakes, malaria, leprosy. “Devil’s Island” was closed after years of operations. France was shamed about that place, until it decided to close it down. But, until other nations, including those nations with death penalties, accused France of excessive punishment at that penal colony, that is where convicts were sent with no chance of appeal or escape. For a country which has had the motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”, it is my personal opinion that France has enjoyed honor which for the most part has been unearned.

      To Stan Lee- Thank you for that inspiring story about Commander Dreyfuss and Emil Zola. I cannot understand how the French magistrates are allowing this murder to go without a “hate crime” label, unless they are just secretly paid off by the Islamic community or these French judges/lawyers are all total p-u-s-s-i-e-s.?And the family of the murdereday lady should be holding a rally outside the mosque where the killer attended masjid. ?

    This contemptible beyond belief. Like the Vichy regime was still running things.

    And, really — whether this attitude on the part of French prosecutors and politicians is born of emasculated and submissive dhimmitude, unabashed anti-Semitism, or, a combination thereof, matters little — it represents moral bankruptcy and cowardice, of the most contemptible sort.

    Once true French citizens revolt and start taking charge, things will change. There is no accountability for this murderous lot of savages from the cult of islam. French persons who know this murderer, and know under which rock he lives should take care of the situation since the law has not. I would never espouse such things UNLESS I found NO PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW in my own country. Islam is NOT a religion, but a cult. Educate yourselves and take charge. France is in very sad shape.

    The hate crime laws appear to be the dhimmi laws, which are preparing non-Muslims for the subjugated status, in which it is only possible to have, under Islamic rule.

    A French policeman who cracked a joke about the ISIS leader Al Baghdadi, on his ‘private’ Facebook page, he had not made it public, was charged with a hate crime in the French court for insulting a Muslim religious figure or imam. He was asked if he was insane, ordered to pay a fine and suspended from his duties for some 6 months.

    Guy shouting Allah Akbar throws a Jewish woman from a window to her death. A murder motivated by religious animus will never be entered into the list of hate crimes because as a Muslim he enjoys preferential treatment.

    ::

    Across the western world, everyone is afraid of the Leftist thought police, the new Stasi. You can call the police to report your neighbor and possibly even family members for speaking about the Islamic religion. An ideology!!

    And remember a lot of people on the Left want socialism/communism and imagine they think they’re going to snuggle a little Islamic theocracy under the hood. But look at every time speech and thought and ideas are heavily controlled, it ends in disaster. USSR, as well as much of the Islamic world.
