France: Muslim migrant says he stabbed university lecturer to death because he “insulted Muhammad”

Dec 7, 2018 2:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Since the whole Western intelligentsia agrees that one must not insult Muhammad, but that it is a matter of “respect” to submit to Sharia blasphemy laws, will Ali R. now be freed with an apology?

“Irish lecturer stabbed to death in Paris had ‘insulted the Prophet Mohammed’, says his Pakistani killer,” by Peter Allen, MailOnline, December 7, 2018 (thanks to Anne):

An Irish university lecturer stabbed to death by one of his former students had allegedly ‘insulted the Prophet Mohammed’, his killer has told French police.

The 66-year-old academic, named locally as John Dowling, was attacked and stabbed 13 times outside the Paris university where he worked on Wednesday.

Ali R., a 37-year-old Pakistani national, has confessed to the killing and told police he held a personal grudge against the teacher after failing his exams last year.

Ali – whose surname has not been disclosed by the French authorities – is due to be indicted for murder in Paris today for the attack outside the Leonardo de Vinci private university in La Defense business district.

Catherine Denis, the Nanterre prosecutor involved in the case, said Ali harboured an ‘obsessive resentment’ against the university for kicking him out in September 2017.

‘He came to France two years ago to join the management school, but did not pass his first year,’ she said.

‘Since then he had been returning to the college, and had become unwanted to the point that he was not allowed in any more.’

CCTV footage shows Mr Dowling chatting calmly with Ali at around midday, before the attacker took out a steak knife and plunged it into the Irishman’s throat, and then into his chest.

Ali has told police that the teacher had made fun of his Muslim religion during English classes at the university.

‘He produced a drawing, which he showed off in class, insulting the Prophet Mohammed,’ Ali said, according to Ms Denis.

Despite this claim, Ms Denis said ‘nobody remembers such an incident. ‘We don’t have proof of radicalization, but rather a feeling that we’re dealing with someone who is very religious, very pious, very practicing.’…Fran

Ms Denis said Ali R. was not known to the intelligence services, but was an ‘obsessive patriot’ from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

This Twitter picture appears to show the aftermath of the fatal stabbing outside the Leonardo De Vinci private university on Wednesday afternoon

He had just renewed his residency permit to stay in France, and had bought the steak knife from a supermarket close to the university….

Despite this, detectives have so far ruled out any links between the attacker and jihadi groups….

So what? He obviously shares their beliefs.

      ‘Infamous and animal’? That’s an interesting way of describing them, but they certainly have earned a reputation for themselves both here in the UK and worldwide. However, there are quite a few very civilised characters in London’s Regents Park who would be deeply offended at being likened to ‘Homo Pakistanis’ (that’s where London Zoo is).

      That is very true for a very large portion of the population of Pakistan. It’s only a matter of time before one of their small nukes finds its way into a jihadist group and they destroy a city.

        That is my greatest fear, in terms of terrorist attacks. I’m suprised the Pakistani military hasn’t passed off a nuke to terrorists already.

        Some way or another, the Muslim world must be deprived of nuclear weapons. It would be too easy to vaporize a major city in the U.S. or Europe, as long as they have them.

      That fate is what all those cowardly European infidels deserve. Failure to submit to your Moslem masters and/or their traitor bedfellows deserves death. I and MANY USA citizens view several European countries as enemy states and likely a future target for our weaponry to wipe out the embedded Islamic infestation. It is appalling that NATO has not stepped in and cleansed Europe of that Moslem infestation. The Western warriors within Europe must be angered beyond belief. It they had weaponry as we do in the USA perhaps those patriots would have risen to throw off tyranny’s yoke and force the Moslem filth back to the cesspools they originated.

      More proof that the whole of Europe’s leaders who allowed allowed those Muslim migrants into their countries are as stupid as dirt…Migration is part of the Muslim plan of world domination but the European leaders were not informed or else didn’t care and were complacent and ALLOWED the influx of muslims into their countries and now they are and have been, from the beginning of Migration, reaping what was sewn centuries ago by muhammad. IF HE EVER ACTUALLY EXISTED)
      This murder by this migrant,one of many, shows that it may be too late for EUrope to do anything about the Islamic devastation of Europe.
      People have to understand that in the BRAINWASHED minds of the Muslim…the killing of this man was NOT murder but was authorized by their fake prophet Muhammad and his authorization supersedes any law made by any other entity .

      Sherry: Most of Europe has been conquered with no resistance from the idiot citizens. Leaders in the E.U. are “closet Muslims” and pushing full throttle for total takedown for Islamic sharia law.. The cowardly girlie males will be killed off and don’t seem to care if families are split up and girls and women sold into sex slavery.

      Buddhists love jokes. It’s a reminder not to take oneself too seriously.

      A Zen student asked his master: “Is it okay to use email?” “Yes”, replied the master, “but with no attachments.”

      Such levity in Islam would get you killed.

      • gravenimage says

        Great joke, John.

        I remember a book from when I was a child, titled “Hark! Harold the Angel Sings”. It was all about humorous things that little Christian kids had innocently gotten wrong about their faith.

        In Islam, these same sort of things would be grounds for beatings or worse–in Christianity, they are good for a chuckle and a gentle correction.

        excellent definition —–comment of the year. For the record, it was Pakistani muslims
        who introduced me to islam. —young educated professional migrants to the USA—from
        Pakistan way back circa 1960s – 70s. They were seeking educational and vocational
        opportunity and—were the CREME OF THE CROP. Most notable was their level of
        INDOCTRNATION to the point of WASHED BRAIN. —–I will leave it at that——except–
        that I also encountered muslims from India and—later on “bangla desh”—–just as
        brainwashed with the MUSLIM SUPREMACY PROPAGANDA and the—–everyone else—
        shit,. propaganda. I heard it all–my major advantage being at that time , very short—very
        innocent, young looking and sympathetic female. Muslims in the USA, NOW—are reticent.

      Muslims are brainwashed from childhood to believe the garbage written in their works manual it is hardly surprising that it causes some to become totally deranged later in life.Particularly if that life had been led amkngst people equally sheltered from the real world.The arrival in Europe of these people in their millions is only going to end in tragedy as their backwardness and inability to cope with a world that doesnt accept the teachings of a madman can only lead to more of these random attacks that have been happening in France and elsewhere.Time for a radical approach to this oh so obvious problem.That would include the deportation of people unable or unwilling to accept that ISLAM has no place in the Western world.

  6. somehistory says

    Dec 7, 2018 at 3:13 pm

    “is very religious, very pious, very practicing.’”

    This is his “group” for terror, for murder, for the arrogance that kept him going back again and again…most likely waiting for a chance to kill the man. The “practicing” of such things originates with islam. He didn’t need other pakis joining him…he had islam.…

    • Roger woodhouse says

    • Carol the 1st says

      Dec 8, 2018 at 7:54 pm

      Why pat such dolts on the head with phrases like “very religious, very pious, very practicing”??

      We should instead use a phrase like “a proud but dimwitted tool of a dysfunctional, barbaric cult”.

      Had Ali R. been more noble he would have warned the unarmed Dowling that he’d be facing a knifing duel at high noon. Then again, kafirs don’t seem to qualify for any breaks from the “pious”.

  7. Anjuli Pandavar says

    Dec 7, 2018 at 3:50 pm

    “‘He came to France two years ago to join the management school, but did not pass his first year,’ she said.”

    —

    This looks to me like he lost face, and being both Muslim and from a shame/honour culture, he’d find it impossible to rest until he’d recovered that face. Hence…

    “‘Since then he had been returning to the college, and had become unwanted to the point that he was not allowed in any more.’”

    …honour still not restored. The whole “Don’t insult Muhammad” psychosis is all interwoven with the extremely fragile shame/honour ego of “face” cultures, giving a highly volatile mix.

    Muslims have Muhammad’s “perfection” drummed into them from the earliest childhood, and they all feel hurt when Muhammad is criticised or ill spoken of (that it’s *physically impossible* for Muslims to utter Muhammad’s name without saying “Peace be upon him” reflects that same psychosis), but it’s only the crazy bastards from face cultured who are so shattered when Muhammad is criticised that they’d turn up to kill. In their eyes that’s *not* an extreme thing to do, but an admirable restoration of honour/face.

    And yet none of this has anything to do with jihad. Of course, jihad is grotesquely violent, but Islam isn’t violent because of jihad. Islam is just violent through and through. These are the people whose “sensibilities” you’re placating. When I mock Imran Khan, all I’m saying to Muslims is “Grow up! You’ve had 1400 years. How much more do you want? We’re not impressed with your cry-baby crap.”

    Try that in the US, and the perpetrator could easily find himself ventilated with as many bullets as it takes to get him to stop. That “insult the prophet” nonsense doesn’t fly here.

    Except maybe on some college campuses. I would hate to see what philosophical contortions they would have gone through had it happened in a place like Berkley.

    {Sahih Bukhari 2442 islam’s cross-dressing prophet:BTW i don’t care if someone is a cross-dresser but this is The Perfect Man who muslims must emulate..muhammed claimed he could only receive his koranic insights whilst wearing Aisha’s dress..}

    “So Buraq,this WINGED FLYING HORSE of yours mo?How come nobody has actually seen it?”

    “Say mo?Did you ever hear of something called “the Commandments”..well,it seems allah has gotten EVERYTHING wrong in his book…apparently we are supposed to OBEY them not break them..they condemn murder,lying,stealing….oh now I think allah got it wrong didn’t he?”

    “What?You and allah didn’t know MOSES was a Jew?Get outta here!Shut the front door mo!”

    The Irish parliament just passed law criminalizing Jewish homes built in the West Bank, and Ireland generally support BDS. Maybe this killing will prove to be a wake up call to a few alert people in Ireland, but then what can one expect from a country which spawned the IRA terrorists?

    …………………….

    Never mind that this incident does not even appear to have happened. That this Infidel professor was not Muslim was in and of itself an “insult” to the “Prophet”.

    Islam does not belong in the civilized world.

    • Mark says

      Dec 7, 2018 at 8:50 pm

      Agreed!
      I think we need to stop pretending that these incidents are a result of “radicalisation or extremism”. Islam is a strict religion that adheres to the Koran and the teachings of Mohammed. All true Muslims believe these teachings and shariah law. It’s more a case of how dedicated a group or an individual is, in implementing the punishments set out by shariah, in countries governed by secular law.
      This man will go to his grave believing he acted according to the word of Allah as spoken by Mohammed.

      When you fancy you’re on Allah’s wave length it must be hard to keep your feet on the ground with mere mortals. The fall of Lucifer:

      “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly on the heights of Zaphon; I will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High’” (Isaiah 14:12-14).

    Yeah, he’s a very pious liar, that’s the kind of moslem he is. And he’s just doing normal jihad against the West, then trying to excuse it by saying the guy insulted Islam. Nobody remembers the cartoon incident, meaning it never happened. It’s a lie. He just wanted to kill a Westerner especially one who failed him for his typical moslem stupidity in his studies. The guy should be given a military tribunal, convicted, and shot by legal process at dawn, as an enemy operative in wartime.

    Placing the deceased on trial is a classic murder defense ploy.
    There is no one around to deny the allegations. The murderer becomes the ‘victim’.
    Sadly, it works.

  17. John Kahn says

    Dec 8, 2018 at 11:00 am

    Remember Sharia Law: our murderer is devout and our victim was an infidel. The infidel’s word is worthless; only the word of the devout has standing in a Sharia court – and he was following the word of Mohammed. Our murderer may take whatever booty he wants from our victim, including family.
