Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder. Still absolutely no interest from any non-Muslim authorities in this phenomenon.
“Facing US extradition, 9/11 suspect attacks French prison guards,” France 24, January 12, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A German national believed to have been linked to Osama bin Laden and convicted for a 2002 attack on a Tunisian synagogue attacked four guards in a northern French prison on Thursday, weeks before becoming eligible for extradition to the US.
Christian Ganczarski, a German convert to Islam who spent time in Afghanistan and is believed to have been an adviser to former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was arrested in France in 2003.
He was sentenced in 2009 to 18 years in prison for being one of the masterminds behind the attack in the Tunisian island of Djerba that killed 21 people.
The victims were killed when the bomber drove a tanker truck filled with cooking gas to the synagogue and blew it up as they were entering the building, which was virtually destroyed. A synagogue had stood on the site for 1,900 years.
Ganczarski, whose sentence was due to end in February, is being held at the Vendin-le-Vieil prison in northern France. The United States had indicated it wanted him extradited for his suspected role in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Prison officials said he attacked four guards with a bladed weapon on Thursday.
“The head of the establishment told him that he would be extradited to the United States where he is suspected of being one of the organisers of the September 11 attacks,” said Jean-François Forget, secretary general of the UFAP-UNSA penitentiary union. “He was recorded in a telephone call saying he would do something to stay in France.”…
Ganczarski was one of three men — including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the principal figures linked to the 9/11 attacks in the United States — who were originally tried in Paris for the Djerba attacks.
According to court documents at the time, Sheikh Mohammed and Ganczarski received telephone calls from the suicide bomber before the attack.
German police also recorded a conversation in which the bomber asked Ganczarski for his blessing together with the reply, “May God reward you.”
The Polish-born Ganczarski, described by investigators as a computer and communications technology specialist, converted to Islam in 1986 and spent time in both Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.
A witness quoted in court documents said he “swore allegiance” to bin Laden in 1998 and became one of al Qaeda’s telecom specialists.

Converts know what their new religion is all about. They know what it commands them to do.
J D S says
This convert to Islam sure has a wrong first name “Christian”
Maybe he has changed it to muhammad, Stupidity just plain stupidity
ElderlyZionist says
Sentenced to only 18 years for mass murder, and he was getting out in 9. For good behavior, I suppose. He should be crow-bait.
b.a. freeman says
if U mean “in little pieces,” Elderly, i tend to agree. we need to start acting like this is a war … because it “IS*!
J D S says
I firmly believe all Islamic terrorist are soldiers in Islam…now Islam isn’t a country or even a race and we are not at war with islam but Islam is at war with the western world therefore Islam’s soldiers should be treated as combatants, and when caught should be turned over to the military tried by a military tribunal and smartly executed by some firing squad. Oh No…what about their rights as citizens (if they are citizens) well what about my rights when they are trying to kill me.

9/11 was America’s reward for its support of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan to drive the Russians from their nation. America had also been among the few nations to support Bosnia/Herzegovina in their quest for freedom from the Croats. I don’t trust anyone of the cult of the pernicious murdering thug.
gravenimage says
What a lot of twaddle. bin Laden himself said that 9/11 was “revenge” for America being in Saudi Arabia–at the Saudi’s request–to offer protection to the Saudis against Saddam Hussein.
He didn’t like having the “filthy Infidels” in the “kingdom of the two holy places”.

Agree with GI. Muslims hate all countries that are resisting JIHAD-TERROR and that resist the HEGEMONY of Islam.
Muslims hate America because of the ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE called AL WALAA WAL BARAA.
It is an ‘essential’ duty in Islam to hate the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.
LeftisruiningCanada says
In Rays defense, (not that he asked or needs it) it maybe that he wasn’t apportioning blame upon the US for being attacked, only that it may have been unwise to try and bridle the wild beast of islam and make it serve the US’s purposes.
That’s how i read it anyway.
Guy Forester says
GI and Mort:
You need to re-read what Ray said. The mujahideen would still be sniping at the Russians and the Russians retaliating in a low scale conflict had we not trained and armed the mujahideen in conjunction with Pakistani IS. BTW, the Saudi’s told the US to NOT support the Taliban!
The US began helping the Afghan mujahideen prior to our 1990 “defense” of Kuwait. Due to my work in the ME and then here in the US, I had a front row seat to the idiocy of well intentioned people insisting on us helping these “victims” of the USSR. Then there were those that thought it a wonderful idea to poke a sharp stick at the USSR and get revenge for them supporting the NVA, Cuba, and other communist regimes. Thus was born a situation bound to backfire. As was pointed out, those fighting the USSR only used us as useful fools to get the training and materials needed to attack us. Others, besides me, have opined that the defeat of the USSR in Afghanistan gave these jihadis the idea that since they could beat one superpower, they could defeat another, the US.
I had the “pleasure” to have a run in with one of these jihadis here in the US in the early 1980’s. Let us say that had this not occurred in a controlled environment, the meeting would not have ended peacefully. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain and at least one working eye that our love affair with the Afghans would not work well. Politics being what they are, we gave the jihadis the tools they needed to attack us. BTW, don’t think for one moment that Iran, China, and the USSR did not find some way to get back at us or for other reasons aid these guys.
Ray Jarman says
Guy, I agree with your assessment as I never said it was a good idea but at the time, I and many others were misled and I had spent ten years in Germany in the Army in the 1970s and I developed mixed feelings about the Russians. On one hand most of us knew that the Russians did not want a war with us but if threatened, I have no doubt that they would have. After all it was the speech that Khrushchev made in Berlin about a unified unaligned Germany that caused his ouster. On the other hand I played many games of chess with the Russians during several Reforger exercises (they really got mad when they lost) and found them quiet friendly. A side note; one of their majors saw an American enlisted soldier with a map and remarked that only officers were trusted with maps in the Russian military. Regarding the Afghan situation in 2002, the people were happy and I think that if President W. Bush had not become engaged in Iraq and turned away from Afghanistan, we could have won back then (I spent three months in Kabul working at the US Embassy and had a chance to talk with Afghani workers employed by the Embassy and at that time Embassy staff was permitted to go shopping at the Chicken street market and there were several excellent restaurants in the city; we felt safe at that time and we needed no military escort to visit some of the military compounds outside of the city). The main point is that the US should not have interfered but there was that nasty old Cold War.
Guy Forester says
Thanks for the follow up post and for your service. I suspected that you had some real first hand experience with this.
Unfortunately, I think the US does not do a very good job of making it clear that the PEOPLE of Russia, China, Cuba, and North Korea are not our enemies. The governments that enslave their citizens are. VOA probably did a good job of this, but the rest of the world needs to hear it.
As for Afghanistan, it was one thing to provide humanitarian support for refugees, but to support self appointed holy warriors was a big mistake. The people most likely to attack us and any Afghan that wanted to modernize his/her country were these not so holy throw backs to the 7th century.

France: Convert to Islam suspected of role in 9/11 attacks prison guards
…………………….
Just being a good Muslim, I’m afraid.
mortimer says
Christian Ganczarski is a terrorist who is as determined as a mad dog and whose punishment for his role in 9/11 is long overdue.
I hope he can be extradited successfully so that Americans can be further awakened to the risk JIHAD-TERRORISM.
How long will take and what will it require for Leftards to see the risk of JIHAD-TERRORISM?
LeftisruiningCanada says
Might not be the best practice to tell dangerous terrorists what’s going to happen to them beforehand.
He was basically given a choice as to where he wanted to stay.
Guy Forester says
How do you spell GITMO?
Dale Netherton says
No one wants to realize that faith is the common denominator in this. Whether you think your faith is good and others is bad the notion that faith can be caterogized aa simply good because it is faith is erroneous. A method of claiming belief to be sacred is fallacious. Fatih is defined as an unquestioning belief. How can you not question what is good for one belief and not another? As long as faith is accepted for more than what it is, nonsense will pervade the world.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Where is it defined like that?
In NT greek, Pistos means ‘trust’. There is no connotation of it being blind trust, though of course it can be if the individual chooses.
“the notion that faith can be caterogized aa simply good because it is faith is erroneous”
Agreed. Islam is bad, and faith in anything to do with it will never be good.
