Paris: Armed man takes hostages, demands to speak to Iranian embassy, cops say it’s not terrorism

Jun 12, 2018 12:24 pm By Robert Spencer

“The incident is not believed to be a terrorist attack although the hostage-taker has reportedly demanded to speak to the Iranian embassy.”

Of course. After all, how many times have you gotten a bomb and a revolver, taken hostages, and demanded to speak to the Iranian embassy? Don’t be Islamophobic!

“Armed man takes three hostage in Paris,” by David Chazan, Telegraph, June 12, 2018:

A man claiming to be armed with a bomb and revolver has taken three people hostage in Paris, police have said.

One hostage has a head injury, Yves Lefebvre, a police union spokesman, said.

Police have sealed off streets near the scene in the 10th arrondissement and are negotiating with the hostage-taker, Mr Lefebvre said.

The incident is not believed to be a terrorist attack although the hostage-taker has reportedly demanded to speak to the Iranian embassy.

Police have not confirmed that the hostage-taker is armed….

    I guess it depends on the French’s definitions of “it,” “is,” “not,” and “terrorism.”

      Grimly hilarious.

      Although I agree that the French government is utterly sold out to islamic domination,
      I believe that in this case it is possible that it is actually not terrorism.

      If the guy had been a terrorist, he would have killed his hostages, right ?
      Plus hostage taking was known before terrorism became a popular sport in the muslim world.

      So let’s not weaken our denounciation of actual jihad acts by being triggerred at every event involving a muslim.

    HA!
    : D
    Right!
    It all depends on if you are on the “left,” or on the “right,” whether or not it is deemed to be ‘terrorism.’

    Examples:

    1. A long dark bearded man in a gown dashes into an embassy with bombs, rifles, a machete, and a suicide vest. He threatens to kill everyone if he is not able to speak to the head guy. According to them, *not* terrorism.
    2. A group of long bearded men in long gowns run down a busy street in London with knives, threatening to kill anyone eating in a street cafe during ramadan, and shouting ‘allah akbar’. Injuries occur. According to them, *not* terrorism.
    3. A fat, dark haired, bearded man rams a truck down a busy street in a tourist area during a church holiday procession in France. Many are massacred. According to them, *not* terrorism.
    4. A civilized looking group of young students from the West want to visit a University in Europe and host a lecture and discussion about the dangers of terrorism. According to them, that *is* terrorism!

    Ya’ll gettin’ the pattern?

      4.) Applies to Robert Spencer attempting to enter the UK to give a lecture on the dangers of Islam but is denied entry by Theresa May – while a Muslim preacher who called for destruction of Britain allowed to enter.

        It is becoming fairly clear these days that Theresa May is one of the biggest dangers to Britain. Not only is she in thrall to Islam but she has made the most appalling mess of the Brexit negotiations, probably by design, and the Tory party is at its wits end (not that they have many wits) wondering what on earth to do about her.
        They are frightened to challenge her and get another leader ( frankly anyone else would be better) in case it triggers a general election and the Marxist looney Corbyn gets voted in with his bunch of Commies and weirdos.

        I don’t think Britain has ever been in such a mess, even when facing up to Hitler and h is gang.

      One can dress terrorism in silk and satin but they are still terrorist producing terrorism….following the Old saying “one can not make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”.Truth is…Most of the west, both elected and law enforcement are just plain cowards when it comes to ANYTHING to do with islam and that very fact I’d going to bring their downfall. It’s happening all over Europe.

    France and its EU comrades, forsakers of Democracy and freedom of speech; especially those daring to criticize the Cult portending to be a religion. Denial, under the precept of political correctness and political expediency, that Islam is apocalyptic, motivated by bigotry, genocide and other barbarous tenets spell France’s doom.

    • ItsJo says

      Jun 13, 2018 at 2:14 pm

      Good post Ric, and true. Those who “Bend to the Muslims/Islam become the minority, as these CULTS, are hell bent on “Taking OVER any host country they invade.” France WILL become the UK, that has Already given up their nation to these Cultists.” They USE their so called religion as a means of infiltrating countries, then make DEMANDS, that are “Cowardly MET by the likes of Teresa May, France, etal.”

      When we see them entering politics to “CHANGE THINGS INTERNALLY, THEN COMES THE PROBLEMS FOR CITIZENS, as they are intent on TAKING OVER NATIONS WITH THEIR SICK CULT AND HAVE NO INTENTIONS BUT TO BUILD ANOTHER MOSQUE, AS THAT IS HOW THEY DEFEAT
      “THE ENEMY…THEY BUILD A MOSQUE ON THE SITES THEY CONQUER.”

      Shame is, they are STILL mired down in their Cult of Hatred, in the 7th Century….they NEVER improve or become CIVILIZED. Sad to see nations-especially in EU, give in to their Terrorism/Cult.

    “Police have sealed off streets near the scene in the 10th arrondissement”–that’s a good sign it’s terrorism, I believe.

    Paris: Armed man takes hostages, demands to speak to Iranian embassy, cops say it’s not terrorism
    …………………….

    This just keeps getting more ludicrous all the time.

    I hope the hostages will be OK–no thanks to French authorities, of course…

    If the the Media and Police say there is no link to terrorism then you can be sure that it’s Islamic terrorism.
    If they say there is a link to terrorism then you can of course be sure that it’s Islamic terrorism.

    http://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/2018/06/12/01016-20180612ARTFIG00383-prise-d-otages-a-paris-le-forcene-place-en-garde-a-vue.php

    btw the hostage taker is Moroccan, therefore Muslim, therefore it’s Islam for sure. Yes, it is strange that the media which is really good at maintaining world wide conspiracies would let that detail slip through but who cares?

      Lebel is desperate for us filthy Infidels to think that Jihad is a myth…

    Jihad?
    Nah, it looks more like an ‘inner struggle’.
    Terrorism?
    Nah, it could be one of these instances of ‘freedom fighting’.
    Hostage taking? No way! It’s just mental illness. A whole global outbreak of it (Spencer)
    And the guy was NOT a true mohamedan anyway.
    Just ask lebel.

      I know it is scary to think that crazy people exist and do crazy things everyday around the globe. I know it is easier to think that Islam is behind every bad thing as it simplifies your world.

      In the real world, we need evidence when we talk about terrorism. We know that crazy people exist even in the Arab/Muslim world. We don’t think that French cops are part of a global conspiracy to protect Islam because that’s incredible dumb. If the investigation shows a link with terrorism than that’s completely different because then we would have evidence.

        Jun 13, 2018 at 7:45 am

        That’z very nice Lebel. I look forward to your comments on the next indisputably Jihadist attack. You are prepared to do that. Right???

        “I know it is scary to think that crazy people exist and do crazy things everyday around the globe. I know it is easier to think that Islam is behind every bad thing as it simplifies your world”

        I’m not seeing a difference between the two

    Jun 13, 2018 at 1:05 pm

    Don’t hold your breath, Ecosse.

    Lebel constantly defends islam and muslims. and in all the time he’s commented here, I’ve never seen him, even *once* condemn a jihad attack, murder, etc, etc. I don’t know why he comments here, he should comment @Loonwatch, the arseholes over there would love him.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 13, 2018 at 9:01 pm

      So true, Mirren.

      He has openly said that he *hates* Jihad Watch. His claim to be an Anti-Jihadist is just laughable.
