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

France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks passersby with knife, to get mental health evaluation

Jun 21, 2018 12:13 pm By Robert Spencer

When was the last time there were knife-wielding Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” in Tours? 732.

But of course, this is not jihad resurgent. This is more of the global outbreak of mental illness.

“French police arrest knife-wielding man shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ – report,” RT, June 20, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A bare-chested man has been arrested in Tours, France, after he reportedly attacked passers-by with a knife, shouting “Allahu Akbar” and asking the police to shoot him.

Armed with a kitchen knife, the man had reportedly tried to attack pedestrians on a footbridge spanning the Loire river in Tours…He managed to overpower a man in his 60s and threatened to throw him over the railing of the bridge before police moved in and arrested him, according to French media.

The 30-year-old man lived in Tours and was reportedly known to police for previous violent acts. He will be evaluated by mental health professionals on Wednesday night, and anti-terrorism authorities have been notified.

      This happened in France–and Americans actually take precautions against rabies.

      France–and the US–just need to stop letting in so many ravening Muslims.

      esther, when my dad was a young lad he had to shoot his beloved dog that had gotten rabies, his dad had passed away recently, it was his job, he did what needed doing. all these people that go beyond reasonable defence of certain offenders, tip their hand when they do it, showing their refusal to face reality.
      i’d say the results speak for them.

    Looks like all Muslims are mentally ill or at the very least mental illness is rampant among Muslims!! These “mentally ill” Muslims are killing non-Muslims all over the world yet the government leaders do nothing to “cure” mental illness of Muslims!

    This violent jihad-minded Muslim with his knife tacks against the non-Muslim people of France was committed to the care and evaluation of the mental health professionals might had been a decision by the French authorities that does have some merit. This is because from many case examples it be is observed that Islam has a terrible influence on many of followers. For is Islam is the insidious power in warp the normal cognition of a person for a realistic view of things into a delusional worldview .To the extreme that a person might become so deluded that he or she literally become what is termed by the mental health professionals as “dangerous to self and others.”.

    Charles Martel is turning over in his grave. He defeated the Moors (muslims) in 732 at the Battle of Tours thereby ending the invasion of western Europe by muslims from Spain.
    Of course the kid is mentally ill. So, when incarcerated he should be kept away from the inmates who are not mentally ill so that they don’t catch what he’s got.

    So to follow the logic of those who suggest that Muslims who commit acts of violence are mentally ill, and knowing that the number of Muslims committing such acts is disproportionate to their percentage in the general population, one can determine that Muslims, as a community, are more mentally deficient than the average person.

    So therefore, why are we allowing a group with a known higher incidence of violent mental illness into our countries.

    By doing so we are knowingly putting our mental health and social services under great stress, and allowing a direct threat to the health and safety of our citizens to be introduced.

    That vicious Muslim in the nation of France who was so malice filled wit h hateful violence that he engaged knife attacks against peaceful French people just because they are not Muslims. This is awful result of the spiritual and emotional minded warping power and influence of Islam . So as for the later of the two just mentioned This Muslim might actually be a mental case because of Islam One of the definitions of mental illness in that a mentally ill person can’t understand or tell the difference between right and wrong.
    There the first of the two mention also fits with the mental illness of Islam about not being able to understand the clear difference Between right and wrong . That knife wielding violent Muslim might actually view Islamic violence as “good ” and living a non-violent peaceful life as something that is “evil.” This is how extreme Islam is able to sicked and warp the cognition of a person.
    To this the Bible reads””Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” Isaiah 5:20. [N.I.V.] Likewise tin Ecclesiastes 9:3 reveals that “There is evil and madness in the hearts of men while they live and afterwards to join the dead.”

    Good news everybody, you’re taxes will be going up to pay for the extensive amount of muslims being treated , while you sill suffer wide ranging cuts all over the board to help finance it! In the words of MaggieThatcher “The government doesnt have money , all it has is your money.”. And to quote Eddie Murphy ” I BIN PLAYED ! ” . And by I , what we actually mean here is you.

    The killer of ex-muslim Fatima S., slaughtered outside a German supermarket in front of her children, was initially taken to a psychiatric facility. German police were unacquainted with Islam’s commands to kill.

    A muslim with a weapon who says he will kill unbelievers is, in Allen West’s words:

    “doing exactly what this book says”.

    France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks passersby with knife, to get mental health evaluation
    ………………………….

    More “mental health” issues, I see.

    Surely, it couldn’t have anything to do with Jihad…sarc/off

    More:

    When was the last time there were knife-wielding Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” in Tours? 732.
    ………………………….

    If only more in France and the rest of the West knew both the the threat of Islam and their own brave histories, we wouldn’t allow violent Muslims to invade the West today.

    Maybe, the authorities in all western, civilised nations should add “Islam” to the list of mental illnesses in the DSM, along with schizophrenia and bipolar and other disorders. I think the DSM (Diagnostic Manual or something similar) is the right name for the list of illnesses that are recognised. Of course, I don’t buy the mental illness excuse. I think it should be called evil when it comes to Islam. By civilised non-Muslim standards, Islam, with its calls for endless violence, murder and rape of non-Muslims, is just evil. It’s bad not mad. Or maybe it’s both. Either way, Islam just has to be kept out of our countries. But these claims that Muslims who try to murder non-Muslims are mentally ill instead of evil monsters seems like a lawyers’ trick to get them off the proper punishment they should face.

    Left wing governments lie and call wicked people crazy. They deny the existence of evil, so they can deny the existence of God.
