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

Eiffel Tower evacuated as knife-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” is arrested

Aug 6, 2017 9:25 am By Robert Spencer

Nothing to be concerned about. He “has a history of psychological problems.” It isn’t as if there were a global jihad against the West or anything like that. Go back to sleep.

He has “psychological problems.” Why does no one ask how so many Muslims react to psychological problems in exactly the same way, by screaming “Allahu akbar” and trying to attack people?

“Police arrest knife-wielding man yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ in Paris St-Germain shirt at Eiffel Tower as monument is evacuated,” by Jay Akbar, Mailonline, August 6, 2017:

Police arrested a knife-wielding man wearing a Paris Saint-Germain football shirt after he tried to breach security at the Eiffel Tower last night.

The man, who is aged around 19 and has a history of psychological problems, forced his way past security guards and then shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’, a legal source said.

Soldiers who are permanently stationed at the Eiffel Tower ordered him to drop his weapon, which he did without attacking anyone, the source added.

The monument, which was lit up to celebrate Paris St Germain football team signing Brazilian footballer Neymar, was evacuated at around 12.30am.

The man, who was apparently alone, was ‘very quickly overpowered and arrested’ and nobody was hurt, a statement from the company that runs the monument said….

The legal source said the man with the knife, a Frenchman born in the West African state of Mauritania, had been discharged from a psychiatric hospital in July….

    No big surprise here. France had a chance to change things in the last election and they didn’t take it.

      The ELITE are TERRIFIED of ISLAM & Simply REFUSE to face this NASTY IDEOLOGY preferring to RELY on HOPE that they will some how conform !
      The TOP in the Government are also LEFTISTS & are also ALLIES of ISLAM so there is little to no chance of any attempt at change soon.
      In my VIEW FRANCE as we know FRANCE is over & an ISLAMIC FRANCE is closer that many think !

      There is now no time left to turn this around !!

    Islamic belief IS a psychological problem — as Churchill noted, a “fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog”.

    These PC idiots are spreading the mental illness stigma in order to cover up the jihadis. For the sake of argument, I allow these “lone wolves” are nuts; however, their lunacy is formed and channeled by an ideology. That knife-flashing scum was connected by an imaginary cord to an imam somewhere, even if it was an Internet imam.
    Families of the mentally ill should be outraged that their suffering relatives are lumped in with physically violent parasites just to please the Rainbow Pony elites (who often aren’t mentally steady themselves).

    They better speed up the planned construction of the plexiglass security wall with airport type screening entrances.

    Inbreeding (consanguineous marriages) among the Muslims encouraged by Islam creates a population prone to psychological problems and coincidentally Islam is just the religion for psychotic people.

    “He has “psychological problems.” Why does no one ask how so many Muslims react to psychological problems in exactly the same way, by screaming “Allahu akbar” and trying to attack people?”
    “The legal source said the man with the knife, a Frenchman born in the West African state of Mauritania, had been discharged from a psychiatric hospital in July”

    While the French are thinking about Neymar joining PSG, the Muslims are thinking about slashing their necks. Vous comprenez ?

    France didn’t vote for Marine. Now they are paying.

    ………………….

    *Of course* this pious Muslim wanted to murder innocent Infidels at France’s most recognizable national symbol.

    God, I hate Islam.

    On BBC, no mention of “allahu akbar”; on AP, nothing at all, it didn’t even happen…

    ‘Why does no one ask how so many Muslims react to psychological problems in exactly the same way, by screaming “Allahu akbar” and trying to attack people?’

    Perhaps being a Muslim itself ought to be classified as a “psychological problem”.

    Right?

    Repeated denial of facts of the life of the one they call THE prophet, who while factually the most morally bankrupt of all religious founders, is instead being touted as the perfect man.

    If that’s not a psychological problem in itself, I don’t know what is.

    “Why does no one ask how so many Muslims react to psychological problems in exactly the same way, by screaming “Allahu akbar” and trying to attack people?” It will be a great many. People carry what is integral to them through to their delusions. Islam and everything it teaches is woven into the makeup of every devout Muslim.

    In the seventies, as part of undergraduate medical training, I rotated through a big psychiatric hospital. Schizophrenics were most likely responsible for most admissions. We, students, were responsible for examining the patients on admission and taking histories. Many of the delusions had to do with religion. I was taken aback and thought that if the old prophets had been alive they would have ended up in that institution.

    So, in short, if a devout Muslim has psychological problems with delusions, these are most likely going to include what’s in Islam – jihad, martyrdom, etc.

    The French must like this. Why else do they continually vote for leftists who want more of the same?

      Denial.
