Jihad Watch

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

France: Leftists and Muslims enraged that plaque describes hero cop as “victim of Islamist terror”

Jun 22, 2018 7:00 am By Robert Spencer

Unfortunately, ignoring the jihad will not make it go away. As I show in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, violent jihad against Infidels is a constant of Islamic history, with no reform, no period of tolerance, no respite. Why do these French Leftists believe their experience will differ?

“Leftists Angered over ‘Victim of Islamist Terror’ Message on Hero Police Officer Plaque,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 21, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

French leftists in the commune of Montfermeil were angered by the inclusion of the term “Islamist terror” on a plaque commemorating hero police officer Arnaud Beltrame who traded himself for a hostage during a terror attack and was killed in March.

Local politicians of the Front de Gauche, or Left Front, said their objection to the wording was because it supported a view of “religious war”, Le Parisien reports.

“We are proud that a place pays tribute to the humanism and sacrifice of Arnaud Beltrame, but by adding the notion of Islamist terrorism, the mayor continues his provocations and inscribes his vision of a religious war in marble,” Front de Gauche member Angélique Planet-Ledieu said.

Members of the Montfermeil Muslims Association were also unhappy over the wording of the plaque with the secretary general of the association Farid Kachour saying he would have preferred the term “victim of terrorism, or Daesh, but not the term Islam”….

      Vous croyez que l’on se cache pour dire ce que l’on pense d’une certaine communauté. Pour preuve, Philippe Tesson a été relaxé alors qu’il a dit que ce sont les musulmans qui amènent la merde https://www.i24news.tv/fr/actu/international/europe/177684-180621-france-philippe-tesson-relaxe-apres-ses-propos-sur-les-musulmans-qui-amenent-la-merde.

      As the well known saying goes
      If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck
      Unless we start calling Islamic terrorism what it is we cannot deal with it. Many Muslims have died through Islamic terrorism also, many more in fact than non Muslims. If the Muslims had any sense they would be calling it Islamic terrorism themselves and rooting it out.
      The fact is as many surveys have shown far too many Muslims support it!

    The left has willingly embraced violent Jihadism. We saw this in our country, with the specter of Obama openly working to promote Islam and expressing his hatred for the country that blindly elected him.

    • mortimer says

      Jun 22, 2018 at 9:17 am

      Leftarded Globalists only respond to Islamic terrorism if there is a strong public outcry. Otherwise, they downplay it.

      Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda attacked the center of the American economy, the center of American policing (Pentagon) and tried to attack the center of American government (congress).

      Even the Benghazi attack was covered up. The rapes, robberies and attacks of migrants in Europe against civilians and cops are downplayed by European politicians and EVEN THEN they do NOTHING to learn or teach the ISLAMIC DOCTRINES that cause that criminal attacks of ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.

      If all Europeans and all Americans knew the JIHAD DOCTRINE and the TAQIYYA DOCTRINE it would be easy to defeat Islam.

        ?So how do we get people to actually read it before making any opinion? Can’t we nicely ask them Have you read it? all of it and some Hadiths? Can’t we tell them to please read it and come back to tell us what they thought? The Trick is to Educate them, not mock, not use hate speech but actually trick them into Educating themselves. I absolutely believe any real leftist could never ever support this after reading the real stuff. Not Chomsky or Carter or anyone opinion but straight from the source. I am Left. I used to have no opinion but curiosity and so I read the Qur’an they gve me after an Eid dinner. I was rocked with shock out all PC or keeping quiet in the company of my lefts. Reading it made me feel as if I were punched in the stomach. But they will not listen & they shouldn’t but Must just sit down and read it! Politicians too. Have you ever asked someone did they read it yet. All of it?

        Jun 22, 2018 at 9:19 am

        Yes, jihad is indeed a WAR OF RELIGION … a very BIGOTED WAR of hatred directed against disbelieving KUFAAR … who are hated solely because they disbelieve.

        Jihad comprises every act or word and intention that STRUGGLES AGAINST THE DIRTY KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.

        ALL JIHAD IS AGGRESSION.

    • Julea Bacall says

      Jun 23, 2018 at 4:33 am

      Its THEIR war against everyone else. Actually it has not much to do with real religion. The Qur’an is a warlords manual for control over members and to make them be Happy, honored and enthusiastic to dothe dirty work, conquer, colonize for the Empire (Imams, Leaders) Its very very clever the way it puts people in a straight jacket they cannot get out of (without great courage to think) They call it a religious war but it is a Fake and only for an old fashioned empire like Rome, Greece, Ottoman, Chinese. After you read the Qur’an, you know it has nothing to do with religion. People actually reading it and seeing its purpose pokes such a big hole in their balloon, it just collapses. But people need to see it and SAY it in truth without hatespeech style and without being whipped, killed or jailed (so do it right and not obnoxious) because it will easily Deflate when Shown and understood for what it is. I feel sure.

    Let me guess. After the wording is maintained, some muslim will homicids someone(s) and then that muslim monster will attribute it to the disrespect shown to Islam, and the leftists will say, ‘see’ your islamophobia caused this cycle of violence’.

    Hopefully it will be maintained, the truth about the death of that gendarme, and those who drafted the plaque will not submit to the unbelievable stupidlty that the left and islam demands

    • mortimer says

      Jun 22, 2018 at 9:20 am

      Yes, Goldberg, they make whatever excuse necessary to motivate Muslims to support JIHAD.

      IT IS SCAPEGOATING.

      Koran 8.60 “TURHIBUNNA” = “terrorize them”.

    http://www.leparisien.fr/seine-saint-denis-93/montfermeil-honore-arnaud-beltrame-victime-du-terrorisme-islamisme-18-06-2018-7780032.php

    The lettering in the photo is too small to read easily, but the wording on the plaque (which is not quoted in the article!) looks like:
    “Parvis Colonel Arnaud BELTRAME, Officier de Gendarmerie, 1979-2018, Mort en [illegible], victime du terrorisme islamiste”.
    So the objection is that “islamiste” should be “islamique”, because the distinction between “Islamist” and “Islamic” is a false one. Right?

    Also, “the mayor continues his provocations and inscribes his vision of a religious war in marble”. Where is a photo of this marble plaque? The plaque in the photo is not carved in marble.

    Colonel Beltrame was murdered by the bureaucrats who deny islamism. He went in believing this was an ordinary hostage situation. He and his commanders should have been aware of the special danger of jihadis. The French elite have been made ignorant of the real islam the same way the Obama pack made the FBI and other police groups deliberately blind. Colonel Beltrame is a human sacrifice to Islam and to leftist fantasy. That sign needs an extra line.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 22, 2018 at 7:46 pm

      I think this brave officer would have given his life for the first hostage in any case.

      • utis says

        Jun 22, 2018 at 8:18 pm

        That’s true, but if he had had training in handling jihadis, he might have taken out the jihadi. He should have carried at least a small, lethal weapon like a knife to strike out if the situation became more hostile. Even if Beltrame felt an obligation to go in without a gun, it would be suicide to have nothing to take out a jihadi.
        With a cop as a sacrificial victim, the jihadi upgraded his ticket to Valhalla — I mean Jehanna. “Normal” hostage-takers usually can be talked into surrendering; not an average jihadi. This lack of understanding of the enemy lies directly with the bureaucrats who refuse to recognize and rationally combat jihad. The policy makers are as responsible for Beltrame’s death as the actual killer.

    It’s like a two year with his/her hands covering his/her eyes chanting: “You can’t see me”.
    This attitude will continue until they discover that the “rose” colour in their rose coloured glasses is really dried blood.
    It’s a slow process but people are gradually opening their eyes,

    Al Azhar in Cairo, the highest Sunni muslim authority, instructs that Islam is in a “permanent state of war” with all non-muslims (per Nonie Darwish).

    Yet French leftists complain that the mayor “continues his provocations and inscribes his vision of a religious war in marble”.

    Take your complaint to Al Azhar, French leftists.

      After the Mullahs took over in Iran and consolidated their power, they turned on their former allies in the Communist Tudeh Party. Many of these poor fools went to their deaths screaming that they had always supported the revolution.

        After the Iranian Revolution in 1979 Britain defended itself by kicking out all the Iranians. This defence has not been applied to Arabs.

    Very naïve to believe that non-muslims do ANYTHING to attract violence against them other than simply existing. Until that is generally understood it is impossible to see any improvement.
    You can’t solve a problem until you know what the problem is.
    In the interim note that Israel seems to have a handle on it as there is relatively little violence from the +/-20% of its population that is Arab muslim. It might be sensible to find out what Israel is doing right.

    ; The relationship of civilization with Muhammadanism is an abusive relationship, with Muhammadanism as the consistent abuser of civilization, and as with any abusive relationship, that abuser only “loves” abusing you, and that isn’t “love”, and never will be, i.e., Muhammadans will never “love” you, and will never “love” civilization.
