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

France’s most-wanted fugitive evaded police by wearing a burqa

Oct 4, 2018 9:36 am By Robert Spencer

Probably it was a niqab, since the niqab is more common in the West than the burqa and the Western media constantly conflates the two. In any case, this story shows yet again that banning face veils is a security issue. Nonetheless, it is always overwhelmed by charges of “Islamophobia.”

“Rédoine Faïd case: French gangster evaded police in burqa,” BBC, October 3, 2018:

France’s most-wanted fugitive Rédoine Faïd was tracked down by police through phone-taps and was discovered using a burqa as a disguise, prosecutors say.

Faïd, 46, was detained on Wednesday in the town where he grew up north of Paris. Six others are being held.

He broke out of jail on 1 July, escaping in a helicopter flown by a flying instructor who had been taken hostage.

After three months on the run Faïd was tracked down to a block of flats.

He was sprung out of prison in Réau, south-east of Paris, by three heavily armed men. He had been serving a 25-year sentence for masterminding a botched robbery in which a policewoman was killed in 2010.

He was recaptured shortly after 04:00 on Wednesday in the town of Creil. Three other people in the flat were detained and three more arrested elsewhere.
How was gangster caught?

French prosecutor François Molins revealed that police had been monitoring mobile phones used by the gang that took part in the jailbreak and had tracked down a young woman in Creil, where Faïd grew up.

Last weekend, the woman “let into her car a person dressed in a burqa whose figure suggested he might be a man”.

Late on Tuesday night, that person then got out of the car and entered the young woman’s flat, followed shortly afterwards by another person also in a burqa. Police immediately suspected the pair in the burqas were Rédoine Faïd and his brother Rachid.

At 04:20 (02:20 GMT) on Wednesday, dozens of France’s BRI police stormed the flat and arrested the two brothers and two others, including a nephew and the 28-year-old flat owner. Another nephew and two other suspects were detained elsewhere….

    How many such niqab hoaxes will it take?

    The Islamic veil is pure misogyny and a sign of ownership and thus it is backward, demeans women and should be banned as a backward misogynistic symbol.

    Burqua is illegal in France but the Police hesitate to verbalize, the authorities fear riots!

    Banning face masks of any sort is not racist nor does it violate any freedom of religion. It is strictly a safety and security issue. Quebec needs to back away from the “religion” aspect and promote it for what it really is.It has nothing to do with religion.
