And he was calling for “practising a radical form of religion” (of course the hopeless Laurent Nuñez doesn’t dare name which religion), but he still wasn’t considered a threat to carry out an act of jihad violence. All the relevant authorities in France should be fired for this, but they won’t be.
“French police release photo of suspected Strasbourg gunman Cherif Chekatt,” The Local, December 12, 2018:
French police have released an image of Cherif Chekatt, the suspected gunman who opened fire in the centre of Strasbourg on Tuesday night leaving at least two dead and several critically injured.
French police tweeted out a public appeal for help in hunting down the gunman. Members ofthe [sic] public are warned not to approach “the dangerous individual” but to alert authorities by contact the emergency number 197.
Around 720 police officers and other security forces are searching for him, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said, and the public is being urged to alert police of any tips on his whereabouts….
The suspected gunman has been sentenced 27 times, mostly in France where he was born, but also in Germany, Switzerland as well as Luxembourg which are easily reached from Strasbourg.
His crimes range from violence to robbery, but not terrorism.
Chekatt was added to a watchlist of possible extremists while in prison in France in 2015 after he “called for practising a radical form of religion,” French deputy interior minister Laurent Nunez said on Wednesday.
He has since been monitored by France’s domestic intelligence agency, the DGSI, which is occupied monitoring a large number of suspected extremists in France.

720 cops, lead by Clouseau.

The French national police should give every agent a copy of the History of Jihad. They are woefully under-informed about the MEANING, MOTIVE and METHODS of jihad.
The most important teaching of Islam (for kafirs to learn) is AL WALAA WAL BARAA. Kafirs cannot understand Islam if they do not master that ‘essential’ teaching.
Please read up on ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’.

Thank you, Mortimer.

I think they know. They watch the documentary “La valise ou le cerceuil”. That was the destinity of 1 million French living in Algeria.

GRAMMAR NAZI ALERT
The past tense of lead is led. Why do I see this error several times a day?
And would someone please tell Donald Trump that the past tense of plead is either pled or pleaded. If I saw fewer of these mistakes every day I would be less annoyed. Who gave the orders to destroy the English language?
gravenimage says
Not so much, Diane–the French police have sent this Jihadists to his “virgins”.

This seems to be a circus, where to cage one Islamic criminal where 720 are employed.. There are millions who are for sharia and stealth Jihad. Now calculate the manpower to keep them on their toes. Enormous indeed, need one to say absolutely stupid?
You should soon have ranking based on how Islamized /globalized a given nation is. These nations’ cozy ranking will plummet in no time..
You reap what you sow is also true with nations.
Ren says
27 crimes and the jihadi is still moving freely in society? Apparently, security is not a concern in Europe.

Two points on this – there are very few people who would have a problem with using the formula “radical Islam” or a “form of radical Islam”. I don’t have a problem with it and neither does the majority of world.
The second problem is that there are laws in France and internal structures that regulate police operations. Most of the time it works but sometimes it fails. As you have noted that there are many potential threats and there is also an issue of budgets for law enforcement. It is also extremely hard to predict and stop lone wolf attacks for any LE in the world. By definition they tend to work alone so that limits the information that can reach security services.
Here is a third point which is really going to piss off jihadwatchers. Such attacks are signs of weakness. Big coordinated attacks like the Bataclan were signs of strength. Lone wolf attacks are signs that they cannot coordinate for bigger things. Also a final (evil) point, such attacks cannot and will not impact Europe strategically. This is not WW2, these are not panzers and V-2 rockets but single individuals with AKs. They will of course manage casualties but on the scale of State this is “manageable” and not a strategic threat.
How some jihadwatchers will understand the above analysis: “Lebel is basically saying that all infidels should be killed while we do nothing!”
Warmac9999 says
The number of attacks has risen annually. It doesn’t matter if it is by one or a dozen, people die and are injured permanently. The weakness is in not recognizing the trend. As native Europeans are replaced by barbarians, the law of the jungle will rise to replace the law of civilization.
lebel says
I think they are down in 2018.
gravenimage says
No indication here that the trend of Jihad terror attacks are down:

But what does lebel care? So long as he thinks he can convince Infidels that Jihad terror is not a threat, he is happy.
And the idea that we should be happy that Muslims are killing us in smaller plots is, of course, just sickening.

Of course you approve the term radical because it misleads the public about Islam. Muslims who follow the example of Muhammad and follow the jihad dictates in the Koran are not radical. They are devout. The most rational way to manage this threat is to exclude all adherents of this vile ideology. You bring nothing of value. The money saved could eliminate poverty.
nicu says
This shows how ridiculous Europe gets along with Muslim – terrorists : they don’t want to catch them !
Why creatures like him are still in Europe after committing so many crimes — I keep asking myself that everyday cos he is not the only criminal Muslim !
Even after murder they get ridiculous low sentences !
Everything is a plan to reduce Europeans !

Since the creep was wounded, the oops should go to all moslim doctors and search for evidence of an operation for a bullet wound. Question all of the doctors and all of the staff at each medical location.
If not results, go to all non moslim doctors. He can’t live long with a bullet wound without medical care…blood loss, infection, etc.
Search out the doctors.
Logic&Reason says
Just saw a report on a CBC news site.
“….was from northern Africa….had been radicalized with religious beliefs in prison….”
Not one mention of Islam, being a Muslim….or jihad….
Of course not. Muslim leaders would cry victimhood, and who knows….perhaps get violent!
Islam represents too many votes for the Left. So the 3 chimps remain. No see, No hear, No say.
loki says
If the French had 77,720 cops looking for the most recently activated jihadists on their soil; it wouldn’t make any difference. Millions of muslims in France await their turn at paradise.

‘Chekatt was added to a watchlist of possible extremists while in prison in France in 2015 after he “called for practising a radical form of religion,” French deputy interior minister Laurent Nunez said on Wednesday.”
What does Minister Nunez mean when he says that “Chekatt was practising a radical form of religion”?”
