Yes, Preston Brooks beat Charles Sumner senseless with a cane on the floor of the U.S. Senate, but that was a long time ago. This is something new in Western politics, courtesy of the mass influx of adherents of a culture of violence.
Oh, and maybe Faure called him names. So what? People get called names all the time. It doesn’t justify El Guerrab’s sending Faure to intensive care.
“French Socialist politician is left fighting for his life ‘after MP in President Macron’s party hits him on the head with a motorbike helmet when he called him a dirty Arab,'” Mailonline, September 1, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An MP in French president Emmanuel Macron’s En Marche! party has been detained in custody after allegedly putting a rival politician in intensive care by smacking him with a motorbike helmet.
Two police officials explained today that M’jid El Guerrab was being questioned over a fight he had on Wednesday with Socialist Party lawmaker Boris Faure.
It has been alleged in French media that El Guerrab was riding a motorbike in the centre of Paris when he saw Faure – with whom he is said to have fallen out last year – and went over to him.
They briefly spoke before the encounter became violent and they had to be separated by nearby guards.
But El Guerrab has defended his actions by claiming that Faure grabbed him by the arm and called him a ‘dirty Arab’ and an ‘impostor’.
He added: ‘I did not attack Mr Faure.’
Faure’s family have rejected the claim that he was racially insulting to El Guerrab and it is understood both men are threatening to file charges….
Emilie Green says
When violence is part and parcel of your so-called religion, it will be used to “solve” any and all perceived problems.
And that is exactly how Muslims go about their lives when interacting with others.
Tom says
Left , jihadis use violence as way to silence their critics , opponents.
Just like Hillary Killing another witness of her email investigations http://tinyurl.com/y8p9cv5l
No wonder she supports jihadis, BLM etc.
Hugh Fitzgerald, says
it was M’jid El Guerrab who was the aggressor, from star to finis. He saw Boris Faure while on his motorbike, went over to him, clearly spoiling for a fight. It was he who initiated the encounter, he who started to argue,, and he who smashed a motorcycle helmet into Faure’s head, leaving him fighting for his life. It is M’jid El Guerrab who claims that Faure called him a “dirty Arab.” He apparently has no witnesses to this (if he had had them, it would have been reported); it’s an all-purpose defense, apparently, for violence by Muslim Arabs.
But even if Faure had called him, for which we only have M’jid El Guerrab’s word, it would not justify the murderous attack which Faure may not survive.
M’jid El Guerrab might have said many things after the fact. He might have said that in a sudden rage he struck out at Boris Faure, that it was a terrible thing for him to have done, that there was no excuse, that he was deeply sorry, that under the circumstances he was resigning from the French Parliament. That would have shown some faint semblance of decency. Instead, M’jid El Guerrab stuck with his grotesque excuse: Faure “called me a dirty Arab.” He’s a member of Macron’s party? And a member of the French Parliament? What will Macron do to M’jid El Guerrab now? Kick him out of his party or allow him to stay? Demand that he resign from his seat in parliament, because it is clear, even before he is formally charged, that he did indeed smash Boris Faure with his motorcycle helmet in an attack for which ? Will the MPs demand his removal? This is a test for Macron, and for the French political system.
mortimer says
Agree with HF: M’jid El Guerrab assaulted Boris Faure in an unprovoked attack and then he lied about it.
Jacinte Lamothe says
Filthy arab I will never say it enough! Should be tried for attempted murder and go to jail for life.
rbla says
I know I’m really going out on a limb but I predict the French political system will fail.
lebel says
What is the link with Islam? can you separate your distaste for Muslim Arabs and be objective about this without the ” recuperation” that is so typical of this site?
There should be enough evidence against Islam but yet you and Mr. Spencer simply cannot help yourselves.
gravenimage says
lebel’s pretending that an antipathy to Jihad savagery is racial is grotesquely false. There has been condemnation of Jihad no matter *who* the perpetrators are, including white Westerners.
But like most apologists for Jihad, lebel likes to pretend that opposing this barbarism is “racist”. *Ugh*.
Mockingjay says
Dear lebel, since you asked, I’m happy to explain to you what the “link” of this story with islam is:
– Islam creates VERY repressive/violent family- and societial structures, which INEVITABLY leads to all kinds of psychopathology in its members, mostly of the narcissistic/antisocal kind – traits that in a culture that advises, condones, as well as glorifies violence then INEVITABLY leads to its members ACTING OUT violently whenever something “triggers” them, which, to come full circle, happens VERY often in a narcissistic/antisocial personality – simply the smallest thing can be taken as an insult to ones ego, which then, of course, can only be answered with VIOLENCE.
Does that clarify things a bit for you?
balafama says
i agree with lebel ,this didnt occur in the parliament therefore it’s no different from 2 people of other religious faith duking it out . mr spencer lets not get carried away with propaganda.this has nothing to do with jihad . sad that someone ended up in intensive care but people of all races/ethnicities and religions do fight . stay focused on reporting the jihad threat. you and pamela need to be strategic in your reports or you risk loosing support for your cause and it makes it harder to defend accusations of racism and xenophobia against you .
Joe says
balafama, you can not show that this was not jihad. Islam applauds these tactics. Islam encourages Muslims to carry out violence especially against people who have power such as politicians.
It may be that the Muslim lost his temper, but the facts show that he was riding a motorcycle, and saw a jihad target from a distance. The Muslim wasn’t provoked. Therefore, jihad could easily have been the motivation.
Of course this contrary to what we have been taught, but we are not Muslims who are taught that jihad is holy.
Jack Diamond says
This is what Mr. Guerrab posted on his Facebook page Aug. 31st
‘Yesterday afternoon, so I joined a friend near my family home, I was violently caught by Boris Faure, responsible for the socialist federation of French Overseas. I was on the terrace of a coffee that I regularly frequent when I saw Boris Faure crossing the road and headed towards me. He’s the one who me and not the other way around.
I have known Boris Faure for many years, and we are both going to the socialist party. We even worked together for a period. Until recently, we had friendly and fraternal relations, but they deteriorated at the end of 2016 after I announced my choice to leave the socialist party in favour of the moving movement.
As a result, Boris Faure continued to harass me, through multiple communication media, accusing me of betraying the party and threatening me during the legislative campaign. I’ve kept all the evidence of this long harassment I’m going to bring to justice. While I have always refused to respond to his provocations, Boris Faure has multiplied the invectives, going to threaten me to death for several months.
Yesterday afternoon, Boris Faure was likely to be willing to fight. He assaulted me verbally and physically by twisting my wrist in front of a witness. I didn’t react to his threats and insults, before he lay hands on me. I told him three times to drop my wrist, but he was squeezing harder and harder and made me react violently so he wouldn’t break my wrist.
I legitimately felt physically assaulted and defended myself.
I also admit that I felt threatened by finding Boris Faure near the place where I live with my wife and children. This feeling has been exacerbated by the repeated provocations of the socialist leader.’
He was having coffee. Faure came toward him threateningly, after having made death threats. Faure grabbed his wrist and wouldn’t let go, that prompted him to defend himself (and his family).
Someone is a big fat liar here.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Jack.
Isn’t it funny how the Infidels are supposed to be threatening Muslims, but it is the “filthy Kaffir” who wind up in the hospital or dead?
Hugh Fitzgerald, says
The antepenultimate sentence in my comment above ends in mid-air. I’ve brought it down to earth:
“Demand that he resign from his seat in parliament, because it is clear, even before he is formally charged, that he did indeed smash Boris Faure with his motorcycle helmet in an attack for which there can be no justification?
Kay says
Faure is fighting for life so how can we hear his side of this story?
Frank Anderson says
Assault with an unregistered, unlicensed deadly weapon? Attempted murder? Murder if Faure dies? Or a lawful execution of an infidel? What would be the charge under French law if Faure remains in a long term coma? Who would dare to prosecute?
Tony says
The Moslem MP is a dirty Arab and should be sent to jail and then sent to the Russian Gulag.
mortimer says
Tony, wash your mouth out. We do not arrest people BEFORE they break the law. Got it?
gravenimage says
This has nothing to do with M’jid El Guerrab being a “dirty Arab”–and everything to do with his being a violent Muslim thug.
mortimer says
It looks like M’jid El Guerrab sought out the altercation.
lebel says
This has nothing to do with Islam, its just some Arab did something bad and robert spencer will post it on jihadwatch.
There are group fights in Ukrainian parliaments, in Italy etc. no one draws any further conclusions.
balafama says
i agree with you . i’ve always respected mr spencer but reports like this makes it hard to defend jihad watch from accusations of racism and xenophobia.
pamela’s atlas shrug is becoming a propaganda outlet rather than reporting true jihad issues .
every little theft ,crime or murder committed by a muslim does not equal a radical islamist threat to western civilization.
lebel says
“Preston Brooks beat Charles Sumner senseless with a cane on the floor of the U.S. Senate, but that was a long time ago.”
Secret converts to Islam? there is literally no other explanation possible on this grotesque site
gravenimage says
More witless false moral equivalence from the appalling lebel.
Did a ‘filthy Infidel” do something centuries ago, which no one would justify today? Then we are just as bad as ravening Mohammedans.
And, of course, lebel does not mention that there was huge condemnation of Preston Brooks at the time, nor that the United States *ended* slavery shortly thereafter–something Islam has never done.
Are there Muslims condemning M’jid El Guerrab’s savagery? Not that I have seen…
lebel says
Why should they? it has nothing to do with Islam or them. Politicians do bad things sometimes, do the ethnic groups or religious groups to which they belong to have to apologize?
Do Ukrainians have to condemn when their poiiticians get into fight?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcYMiPMjQAk
What about Italians? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2u7Osh0diM
and what if they don’t apologize? are they supportive of it?
Why are you pursuing this gravenimage? I thought you were concerned with Islamic jihadis? does this have anything to do with it? did he yell allah hu akbar? we don’t even know if he is Muslim since all we have is his name. are you waiting for an arab to do anything bad so somewhere in the world so that you can jump on it during a slow news day?

……………………………….
Yes, politicians do bad things sometimes–but this is on the basis of Islam–Infidels are never supposed to publicly disagree with Muslims.
And I did not say that other Muslims should apologize, but waqs asking if they condemned such actions. But lebel does not believe that Muslims should condemn Muslim savagery. No surprise there.
More:

It would be a good thing of they did. And some of those involved in the violence in Parliament were arrested and served jail terms. This is an indication that such violence *is* condemned.
And Amedeo Ciccanti from the centrist UDC party in Italy condemned the violence there.
How can lebel think we don’t know this?

lebel does not want us to regard a Muslim almost beating an Infidel representative to death to be Jihad. Ignore it, filthy Kuffar…
Of course, on the rare occasions when non-Muslims are elected to positions of political authority in Dar-al-Islam, they are regularly threatened and sometimes murdered–but we are not supposed to notice this.

Well, the idea that M’jid El Guerrab is non-Muslim is just ludicrous–he himself has affirmed that he is Muslim many times, as lebel likely knows:
Last year, he wrote this:
“We, French and Muslims, ready to assume our responsibilities”
https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://ripostelaique.com/qui-est-mjib-el-guerrab-le-depute-en-marche-qui-avec-son-casque-a-assomme-un-socialo.html&prev=search
The above is a bit clunky, using Google Translate–but is nonetheless quite clear.
And the idea that it is a “slow news day” when a Muslim member of the French parliament nearly beats an Infidel colleague to death is just sickening.
What Muslim savagery would actually be bad enough for the repulsive lebel to condemn?
Here are some of the other things lebel is sneering at as unworthy of our attention today:
Brooklyn-based Muslim: “Then we will go to FBI headquarters, kill the FBI people”
Netherlands: Muslims at “Palestinian” rally screamed about killing Jews
Muslim leader vows to intensify jihad in Kashmir, calls on Pakistan to work for “supremacy of Islam”
Security chief says UK is home to 35,000 Islamic jihadis
I suppose anything short of a 9/11 or Nice or Orlando gets a yawn from lebel. *Ugh*.
lebel says
You are not being honest about this, people get in fights and we cannot simply make them into jihadis when they happen to be Arabs. That you refuse to see this and continue to pursue a “muslim” angle when there is none except that an arab was involved (when it is an italian or a Ukranian there is no further conclusion drawn nor are people automatically reduced to their religion) makes me realize I am wasting my time talking to you. You are incapable of having a normal discussion without resorting to hyperbole and logical fallacies. Good day.
gravenimage says
Of course, lebel was not ‘talking to me’ to begin with–he is just, as he always is, endlessly flogging the idea that Jihad is not a serious threat, and that we “filthy Infidels” should studiously ignore any signs that violent Jihad exists.
And note what he deems “hyperbole”–a simple listing of the other stories covered by mainstream news sources at Jihad Watch today. Notice he does not say in what way they are incorrect–he just hopes to insinuate that they are.
balafama says
EVERY FIGHT ,THEFT OR CRIME COMMITTED BY A MUSLIM DOES NOT REPRESENT RADICAL ISLAMIST THREAT TO WESTERN CIVILIZATION .
STOP SALIVATING OVER SUCH PROPAGANDA . NEWS LIKE THIS DOES NOTHING TO ADVANCE MR SPENCER’S FIGHT AGAINST JIHADIS BUT MAKES IT EASIER FOR ACCUSATIONS OF RACISM AND XENOPHOBIA TO STICK AND DISCREDIT HIM .
Keys says
lebel and balafama-
Every act a muslim does against a non-muslim’s dignity is suspected to be based on Islam by any rational person, because that is exactly what the muslim scared texts require of them, unlike other “religions”.
Of course, it is SOMETIMES possible a violent act by a muslim against an infidel is not motivated by Islam, but it is ALWAYS possible that it is motivated by Islam.
Islam is guilty until proven innocent, because of its teachings of how to act toward non-muslims. Because Islam can not change its teachings by any authority except Allah’s, which is impossible, Islam is always suspect and always guilty, because it requires hatred toward non-muslims.
Al-walaa, wal baraa.
Don’t blame Robert, or any infidel, for thinking otherwise.
Jedothek says
This account stresses the name calling and tries to sweep under the rug the allegation that Faure grabbed El Guerrab’s arm. That’s assault and/or battery.

I’m glad this Muslim thug has been arrested. Even if he was insulted–which is by no means proven–nearly beating someone to death in retaliation is *not* something that any civilized person would do.
I hope he is ousted from Parliament, and deported if possible.

So much for the so-called religion of peace. Muslims can’t seem to express a point of view without committing violence. As much as dislike Socialism and Macron, hitting other people on the head is unacceptable and uncalled for.
Karina says
That should be ‘as much as I dislike…’.

CBKC says
It seems to me that Muslims’ immediate resort to violence could be related to the premise that they are DEvolving due to marrying close relatives for 1400 years. Just sayin’.
Jacqueleen says
Muslims are not fit for the civilized world. The radicals are openly violent and the moderates use DAWA a mission to multiply and infiltrate all facets of society until they are in the majority and can take over the country from within without firing a shot. ISOLATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH THE INSANE IDEOLOGY OF ISLAM….MUSLIMS MUST BE EVICTED TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND BANNED FROM ENTRY INTO A CIVILIZED NATION. How many innocent people must be either killed, injured or raped before this realization hist home??????? ISOLATION AND BAN IS THE KEY!!!!
Frank Anderson says
Jacqueleen, I ask you PLEASE discontinue the use of the word “insane” when the word should be “evil”. “Insane” means that a person is not legally responsible for his actions. It means legally that he does not know right from wrong, or he cannot control his impulse to do wrong. If he is insane and commits a crime, he will go to a mental hospital. At some point he could be determined to be sane, get released and go out to kill again. The classic case is from California, Tarasoff v. Board of Regents. The inmate repeatedly promised to kill when he got out, but was released anyway. He killed. The family sued and won; but that did not bring the victim back. If standard, orthodox, non-radical Islam is dismissed as insane our laws will fail.
