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

France: Officials gave preferential treatment for public housing to mother of jihad murderer

Oct 14, 2017 9:47 am By Robert Spencer

“Abdelghani Merah has denounced his family publicly, calling their denials and claims of innocence part of their belief in taqqiyah — an Islamic term meaning ‘subterfuge’ in the service of jihad.”

That’s interesting. Just days ago, the “atheist Muslim” Ali Rizvi was denouncing me in an interview and on Twitter for writing about taqiyyah, which he claimed was a marginal concept practiced that only Shi’ites believe in. At the same time, he was claiming I called him a “stealth jihadist,” which I never did, and he refused either to substantiate his claim or retract when challenged, so whatever else he is, he is certainly a liar, and hence not to be taken seriously as an analyst of Islam or anything else.

In this case, Abdelghani Merah is charging that his family is lying and practicing taqiyyah when they claim not to know about Abdelkader and Mohammed Merah’s jihad activity. He is likely correct; it strains credulity that the family would not have known. So why are French authorities pandering to Zoulikha Merah? Are they afraid of charges of “Islamophobia”?

“Report: Mother of Toulouse killer received public housing to be near son’s trial,” JTA, October 13, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

(JTA) — Municipal officials gave preferential treatment to the mother of an Islamist terrorist who killed Jews in Toulouse, allegedly with help from his brother, a French lawmaker said.

Gilbert Collard, a supporter of the far-right politician Marine Le Pen of the National Front party, wrote to French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe last week to complain that Zoulikha Merah was prioritized over other applicants for public housing based on a request in which she cited the need to be near the trial of her eldest son. He is accused of helping his younger brother, Mohammed, kill four Jews and three soldiers in 2012.

“This lady effectively receive absolute priority for public housing in Tremblay,” Collard wrote. He did not provide any evidence of the preferential treatment he said Zoulikha Merah had received.

The western municipality the Collard named is located 195 miles from Paris, where last month the trial of 35-year-old Abdelkader Merah opened five years after his initial arrest for allegedly helping his brother carry out deadly shootings in Toulouse. But it is much closer to Paris than Zoulikha Merah’s home in Toulouse, which is located 410 miles south of the capital…

Born to a family of four children, Mohammed Merah was “raised to be an anti-Semite because anti-Semitism was part of the atmosphere at home,” his youngest brother, Abdelghani, said in 2013.

Abdelghani Merah has denounced his family publicly, calling their denials and claims of innocence part of their belief in taqqiyah — an Islamic term meaning “subterfuge” in the service of jihad.

The Merahs’ sister, Souad, fled France after authorities there questioned her for saying she was proud of her brother. She and her four children were seen three years ago in the Turkish city of Gazyantep, where they are believed to have crossed into Syria to join the Islamic State terrorist group, according to the TF1 television series.

    Her eyes in that photo tell me everything I need to know about her. I see nothing but that stare of unintelligence. That’s the Quaran for you. It removes any independent thought.

    Europe is done. You can’t win a war if you can’t identify your enemy.

        The WEST is in TOTAL DISARRAY & the Followers of this IDEOLOGY have seen that & understand how chaos can rule & that is what is happening !
        Western Democracies are squabbling & the Muslim Brotherhood being far more organized & disciplined is DELIGHTED as they tear Democracy to pieces with the help of the REGRESSIVE LEFT !
        These are the same people the KGB described at many instances as USEFUL IDIOTS !
        Generally have done little to nothing & just want to protect & join something !
        IDIOTS but by virtue of having joined the overall LEFT & ITS alliance with ISLAM are actually very dangerous !
        ANTIFA can at least be a very useful target & by their continual idiocy be a target for the ALT RIGHT !
        This will help the right rise & at least start a push back !

      The powers that be don’t ride public transport so never experience the joy of getting on a bus and parking your son in his buggy. Sitting in the seat next to the buggy/wheelchair area is the most hostile looking Taliban attired old goat you ever saw, looking at you and your son like you are filth. Never mind that any decent minded person would vacate the seat so that you could attend to your child easily, no not this 7th Century evil little hobbit. One of many reasons London has become an alien place to live in.

    A Woman or a Man in a Burqa, the Old Gal/Guy knew how to play the Pro-Muslim System in France! France’s Pampered Muslims know they come before the CITIZENS OF GAUL.
    If Marine Le Pen had been elected, FRANCE would still be FRANCE, NOT THE GIANT HALAL BUTCHER HALL, that it has become.

    France: Officials gave preferential treatment for public housing to mother of jihad murderer
    …………………………

    French authorities want her to be able to raise more Jihadists in comfort–at the expense of the French taxpayers.

    What suicidal insanity.

    There is a mistake here. Tremblay is not 195 m from Paris. More like 19.5!

    How I love the French, I don’t think that any of us who’s son is in jail,(by his own deeds) will get a home offered so the family can be closer to that jail. It is getting crazier by the day, by now I almost have to laugh, it is so idiotic, one could make a very comical movie about it, but not, because it is and stays very serious and to .outrageous
    Cuddle them, French people, let them live in Versaille, what else could do to make everything easy for them, remember the song by Edith Piaf, :”Non, rien de rien, non je ne regrette rien” , mais plus tard
    peut être.
    one day you will regret it, that you did not speak up. You will have to change the Marseillaise very soon,
    Allons enfants de ma patrie ,the first sentence goes, but you don’t have a patrie any more, be realistic.
    I will say: Bonne chance (for us) (all sarc.)

    Take a good look at her. She knows exactly what her son was doing. She was the one who brought him up and educated him.

    And she hasn’t integrated in our society an inch. Because she was brought up and educated to despise it. And now it will give her what she needs. Because it doesn’t understand her mind set.

    And her children will think and behave in exactly the same way. Because they were brought up and educated in that way. And our society will look the other way and doesn’t want to see the issue.

    Be careful what you do, officials. We are all watching and taking notes. It will eventually become a two way street. Lets give officials preferential treatment when relocating them to their favored muslim enclaves. What goes around comes around.

    That name of hers,looks like her parents just vomited out a series of characters and called it day. How the hell do you pronounce that hot mess?

    That covering of hers is so tightly wrapped, forget hiding even her ears and neck – always a sign of a fundamentalist – shes halfway to hiding her wrinkly chin and forehead. She may as well just go full burqa. Its just like going full retard, really.

    She’s just another Muslim scumbag. She raised murderers – she clearly supports terrorism. Here’s hoping her vitamin D deficiency becomes critical soon. It’d be doing the world a favour, not to mention the French taxpayers.

    That face cries out for a nikab! (Yes, I prefer English orthography to fake Arabic spelling.)
