France: Muslim murders butcher, takes eight hostages and shoots cop in supermarket

Mar 23, 2018 8:23 am By Robert Spencer

Our diversity is our strength.

The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“‘VENGEANCE FOR SYRIA!’ Trebes hostage horror – ‘ISIS’ gunman kills butcher, takes eight hostages and shoots cop in French supermarket,” by Jay Akbar and Peter Allen, The Sun, March 23, 2018:

A SUSPECTED ISIS gunman shot at cops and killed a butcher before taking eight hostages at a French supermarket today, reports claim.

The attacker was heard screaming “Vengeance for Syria!” before going on a rampage in Trebes, south-east of Toulouse.

He is understood to have fired six shots at a group of police officers who were jogging down the street, hitting one in the shoulder, leaving him in a life-threatening condition.

The attacker then stormed the Super U store in a suspected terror attack and killed a store worker who is understood to be a butcher.

“A butcher in the U-Supermarket has been shot dead,” according an unnamed source in the town.

“The gunman was heard shouting slogans about the war in Syria. He says he is representing Islamic State.”

“He pulled out a gun and fired five times, wounding one officer,” said another source in Trebes who claims to have seen the man carrying grenades.

Trebes mayor Eric Menassi confirmed the attack and said seven hostages have since been released, leaving the gunman alone in the supermarket with another police officer.

Police are reported to have surrounded the supermarket in southern France.

French Interior Ministry earlier confirmed an operation was underway at the supermarket but gave no further details on reports of a hostage situation.

AFP has reported that ISIS took responsibility for the attack but the weakened terror group often does this as a propaganda tool, even when it is not associated with an incident.

There were initially conflicting reports amid the chaos of the shooting, with L’independent claiming two men shot at the cops from inside a car.

It claims one of the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité officers was rushed to hospital after taking a bullet in the shoulder.

The cops who were shot at – all part of the CRS 57 unit based at Carcassonne – were off duty when they were attacked around two miles from the supermarket….

    Knock them all out with sleeping gas, go in, arrest the Mohammedan thugs, and give what they deserve. Legallly, of course.

    And make Islam a capital offence.

    Down, down, down. France goes down the rabbit hole… which is a shithole.

    And now imagine the very same happening in London, UK… “Obviously insane Asian takes eight hostages and attacks policeman. London’s mayor comments, that this is only an “isolated case” and that we live in “dangerous times”. And that any criticism towards islam will be persecuted as islamophobia.”

    “… weakened terror group … ” Hmm, and a Mr. Akbar was the co-writer of the article. How much truth do you really think is in this article?

    Also please note how similar this incident is to the San Francisco attack. Don’t worry about Britain, they’re up and running here.

      “ISIS took responsibility for the attack but the weakened terror group often does this as a propaganda tool,”
      Often?
      Pamela Seller observes that they have only claimed attacks that have actually been theirs.
      Of course, no citations are given for this “often”.

      Yes–this *was* very similar to the Jihad attack in the barber shop in San Francisco.

    Hopefully the police can use a sniper to get a head shot at the Islamic man of the religion of peace and end this one out breaks of name one “mental illness” lone wolf’ “confused young man”” isolated incident of violence”” upset young man lost his girl friend” just do not put the words Islam and terrorist together or worst quote the Koran on why he did it. Yes let import a couple of million of these unstable unhappy ,violent young men what could go wrong?

      Let us not forget the man was ‘disenfranchised’ and in sheer poverty.
      He was bullied into it and radicalized via internet.
      We have one culprit here: the internet. Just cut the connection and voilà!

    Another jihad attack?

    Quick, let’s all step up the hunt for islamophobes so that we can solve this problem. Let’s remember, the problem is the ones criticizing islam, not killers who believe in islam, right?

    How you and me are considered the problem in the situation we are in is beyond me. Historians in the future will be puzzled by this and unable to answer why a civilization turned that stupid.

    Oh, I forgot – in the coming caliphate all honest historians will be killed anyway.

    He is not a simple criminal; he is an *enemy combatant*, an armed enemy agent.

    UPDATE TO ALL THE OTHER UPDATES,

    This matter has NOTHING – REPEAT, NOTHING – to do with ISLAM despite what the gunman has said.

    A dispatch from the Pope, a noted expert on all things Islamic, has confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with Islam.

    MUSLIM ROULETTE, ANYONE? Will the REAL Muslim terrorist PLEASE stand up? No? Then how can we spot them? We cannot. It is Muslim roulette. When ever a Muslim is angry about a perceived INJUSTICE anywhere in the world, he is authorized by the Koran and Sharia law to CONDUCT A JIHAD OF RETRIBUTÙION.

    Retribution is a COMPULSORY Islamic teaching! Even though Muslims live in the West benefiting from the blessings of freedom, the rule of law and prosperity, they still bring the Honor-Shame Paradigm with them. Honor is restored to a Muslim through the shedding of blood. No kafir is ‘innocent’. All kafirs deserve to be killed only because they reject Mohammed. The citizens of an entire kafir country can be held responsible because they taxes to support their military which attacks jihadists overseas. Islam thus considers all civilians legitimate targets for revenge in settling a matter of Islamic honor.

    -K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”

    -K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”

    – K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari

    -Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    If only one shopper in the supermarket has a concealed carry permit for a handgun . . . sorry, for a moment there I forgot that it’s western Europe where citizens are disarmed.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Mar 23, 2018 at 4:18 pm

      Better 50 more State paid police minutes away, than even one slave, sorry i mean citizen, with a pistol on his person.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Mar 23, 2018 at 10:06 pm

        But if the mohammedan had rammed the store with a truck bomb? Or left a backpack bomb outside? What good would a pistol be, then?

        Suppose the mohammedan had gained employment in the store and then .. sprinkled ricin on all pork products?

        Guns are not the cure-all for Jihad.

        The only way to be safe from jihad attack *within* the gates is to have .. no muslims inside the gates.

        Then the guns – and not mere pistols, but the sorts of ordnance affordable only at national level and deployed by the *legitimate army* can be deployed *along the boundaries with the dar al Islam*, to bring down the hammer on any attempted incursions by the mohammedan mob.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Mar 23, 2018 at 11:36 pm

          Don’t disagree with anything you say there DDA, for sure.

          Firearms are one tool amongst others, although they have been shown to give concealed carriers more confidence to engage active attackers, even if the firearm itself was never even drawn. The case down in Arizona a few years back where the politician lady was shot is an example of that, but common sense would lead us to believe that an armed person is a more confident person in general.

          In this case though, an armed citizen may well have helped reduce the attackers ability to harm others.

          And, should that glorious day come when no more followers of the false prophet of arabia should be found within our lands, there would still be no absence of physical threat to men and women going about their business. From regular thieves to rapists and political nut jobs of any stripe (including spontaneously combusting internet spawned converts to islam) there will always in this life be a need for good people to protect themselves and others from the bad.

    Muslims are a death sentence imposed on the rest of humanity.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Mar 23, 2018 at 4:20 pm

      Certainly a scourge. It won’t result in the death of the patient though.

  14. The European says

    Mar 23, 2018 at 12:39 pm

    These terrorist attacks always have the same pattern, as if some mediocre scriptwriter from Hollywood had written some chickenshit screenplay. A small-time criminal of Muslim extraction who has already spent some time in prison, joins a a salafist group, is then recruited by even more radical Muslims who groom him for lethal attacks on non-believers and when he finally manages to shake off the policemen who were trying to keep track of him, he commits the attack.
    That fucking bastard came from Morocco, he was 26 years old and he lived with his parents and four sisters in Carcasonne, a beautiful medieval town in southern France. His neighbors decribe him as “a nice guy,” always kind, always willing to help.”
    How many more “nice guys” like him do we still have to suffer ? How many more atrocious acts of violence and murder, before we retaliate, before we act in a way that makes the Muslims really suffer? Why do we not adopt the policy of the Jewish state? The home of every palestinian terrorist is razed to the ground and his family is expelled from the place they live in. That is justice, that is proper retaliation.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Mar 23, 2018 at 10:12 pm

      Whatever mosque or mosques he and/ or any family member attended should be surprise-raided and searched from attic to basement, along with *all* associated premises and properties such as the imam’s house, businesses owned by head honchoes, Islamic ‘school’, etc. If *any” evidence of *any* suspect activity is detected then that should be broadly publicised and used in further investigations… and the mosque/s or other premises should be razed, and the property resumed by the French state, and all associated assets seized, to be sequestered for the benefit of non-Muslim French victims of jihad (bereaved families; persons disabled by jihadi attacks such as at Nice and the Bataclan).

      Or in fact, to cut to the chase, mosque/s attended by anyone who Goes Jihad like this, should be razed, as a matter of course, and the imam deported.

      The family should be deported, too, back to Morocco whence they came.

      Acts of Jihad are acts of war intended to *extend the influence wielded and TURF CONTROLLED* by the mohammedan mob. Therefore the response should be to *reduce* the influence – by reducing the Muslim presence – and to cause the Ummah to *lose* ‘turf’ (by destruction of mosques, and infidel resumption of the ground the mosque was on).

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 24, 2018 at 12:50 am

        Yes–investigate the Mosque, the family, and all known associates.

    • AleX says

      Mar 23, 2018 at 11:32 pm

      The parents must be in shock!
      Who would have thought?
      (sarc)
      Jihad is talked at the kitchen table. Sisters and parents knew about his views and certainly share his supremacist views.
      Yes, the Jewish method must become an inspiration to all anti jihad agencies: deport all members, strip them of any privilege and nationality, confiscate their goods and demolish their property.

  15. Shmoovie says

    “A suspected ISIS gunman..” translation for “nothing to do with Islam”.

    The gunman claims he is representing Islamic State, so it must be true.
