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

Robert Spencer interview with Sputnik: “French authorities need to enforce the idea that there is one law for all”

Dec 16, 2018 8:04 am By Robert Spencer

I spoke with Sputnik News about the latest jihad mass murder in France: Go here to listen to the audio.

“Author on Terrorism: Macron Was Wrong Considering Climate Change Worst Problem,” Sputnik News, December 15, 2018:

France’s Interior Minister has today confirmed that the man suspected of opening fire at a Christmas market has been shot dead. Cherif Chekatt killed three people and injured 13 in the French city of Strasbourg on Tuesday. Sputnik spoke about it to Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch and Author of the History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS.

Sputnik: What does this latest attack mean for the people of Strasbourg and France as a whole?

Robert Spencer: What it constituted was a reminder that Macron is wrong when he considers climate change the worst problem that France faces. Recently we’ve seen the large-scale protests and riots against his climate change tax but this is a reminder that France faces other threats which may be even larger.

Sputnik: This is the most recent terror attack in the country after a series of high profile attacks occurred in different parts of the country. Does France have a problem with terrorism?

Robert Spencer: France has a very serious problem with terrorism. The French interior minister said yesterday that Cherif Chekatt, the Strasbourg murderer, was being watched in a relatively serious manner which means he wasn’t being watched at all because obviously, he was able to carry out this attack and French authorities had gone to arrest him that day but couldn’t find him. The French security forces have said that there are 12,000 people on their list for suspected Islamist views and 4,000 of those are considered problematic and they have said it would be impossible for them to keep an eye on them.

This is a very serious admission because the Islamic State, ISIS, published a pamphlet called ‘The Black Flag from Rome’ detailing how they were going to conquer Europe and in it they said that they were going to overwhelm western intelligence services with so many plots and attacks they simply wouldn’t be able to keep up. It said this, ‘as the western nations get poorer, their intelligence services will continue to exist but they simply won’t have enough manpower to analyze it all’. This is exactly what we’re seeing now in France.

Sputnik: What should we be seeing from the authorities to limit these attacks and ultimately protect bystanders and citizens as a whole?

Robert Spencer: We have to remember that Cherif Chekatt was born in France and raised in France and yet he was raised in an Islamic enclave where Islamic law is the de facto law of the area and French law is not only ignored but despised. The French authorities need to acknowledge the fact that there are such areas in France and enforce the idea that there is one law for all people and that if you want to live in France you must obey French law.

    Maybe equal law for all will make a come back if the PC crowd stops for 1 minute virtually signaling one another and thinks of their and everyone else safety that not all religions and ideological beliefs are equal. Some bad ideas have come and gone in the last 10,000 years ,Nazism ,communism, cannibalism, Mayan blood sacrifice to the sun gods , head hunting, witch hunts, inquisitions, maybe Islam can be added to the bad ideas pile of human history. They refuse to be put on equal footing of the law of the land in any country they live in. They refuse to reject tribal law{Sharia} ,for civilized law of the land they all people are equal in the eyes of the law they want to force Sharia law on unbelievers to make unbelievers second class citizens in their own land..

    “French authorities need to acknowledge the fact that there are such [Shari’a] areas in France and enforce the idea that there is one law for all people and that if you want to live in France you must obey French law.”

    —

    I could not agree more. Three further points: 1. It is by no means hyperbolic to understand the Western Shari’a ghettos as de facto micro-secessions, precisely because the writ of state law does not run in such areas. 2. Where Shari’a is conceded to a section of a country’s population, grounds for complaining that such population group owes questionable allegiance to the state are eroded. The fact that the population concerned is Muslim, i.e., it already, even *before* it attains Shari’a, owes allegiance only to Allah, Muhammad and the umma, and *not* to the state, especially an infidel state, means that such non-allegiance is simply compounded by the annulment of state law in their ghettos. 3. ‘Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité’. Really? Even for French female citizens living under Shari’a?

    The longer it is left to restore French law to the entirety of French de jure territory, the more drastic the requisite measures are going to be. If the police are already curtailed in their movement into such areas, then the state has lost its monopoly on coercive force. France has no choice, no choice, but to use its military forces to restore its lost territories to French rule. And the longer it tarries, they harder it will be.

      U are correct, Anjuli. and because of the necessity of using armed forces, it takes on the color of a civil war. or it would, except that the government WILL NOT do it. and why won’t it? because the f***ing left controls the government, and doesn’t give a rat’s a** about freedom or citizens. instead, it hates the former and considers the latter the property and tools of the state. the state is using pious muslims to make the citizens knuckle under. if the farmer has to kill a few cows to get money to run the farm, it’s no skin off his back, but the cows won’t be too happy about it. the farmer doesn’t tell the cows about it, however, and would never consider doing so under any circumstances … *BECAUSE* they are his property. in a similar fashion, the citizens of france are the property of the state, and their disposition is the business only of the state. the citizens are to have no say in the matter.

      any questions? oh, yeah, i forgot: that freedom silliness is over; get back to work, or the next thing the state says will be with a bullet.

      both islam and the left are evil beyond belief.

    That jihadist /Muslim, Cherif Chekatt , had a very harsh reality check after he died in that shootout with French police which occurred only forty-eight hours after he had murdered those people in this jihad attacks at that Christian market in the city of Strasbourg, France.
    For instead of finding himself in a paradise, with or without virgins, he found himself, to his shock and horror, trapped and suffering in the fires of hell, Luke 16:1-31. As the Bible teaches murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. The Bible also gives a list of those who are fated to suffer terribly forever in the Lake of fire and murderers are on that list, Revelations 21:8.
    Furthermore, all those heinous jihad suicide/homicide attacker are both murderous and demonic. It now should be made known that this jihad murderous bombing is the outcome of the Islamic doctrine from the Qu‘’ran [the Koran] of a sexual paradise with many virgins, houris , in it for the male Muslim /jihadist who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam is found in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran, in Sura 44:54. 55: 56. 78:31. Also there is the Koranic instruction of Sura 9:111 which teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Getting back to the origin doctrine of Islam from the Koran of a sex –filled paradise with many houris for the use only by the male jihadist who dies fight for the advancement of Islam. All this started when the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad manufactured Islam he put , had stolen, some of sex doctrine of Zoroastrian mythology and a yet smaller bit of Hindu mythological sex teachings along with as well as mixture pagan Arabian folklore and myth plus a heavy dose of Judaism and Christianity . Also some of it apostate “Christianity” For the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, couldn’t discern the difference between genuine Bible based Christianity and bogus “Christianity.” Those words and teaching Muhammad gathered from many sources, including the virgins /sex place mythology. , and taught as “Divine Truth” were written down on many things then later compiled and then went into the composition of the Koran. So the hoax of the Koran is actually a mixture and fusion Judaism Christianity and mythology of other religions and now the Muslim clerics with the Koranic brainwashing of young Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed into believing this Islamic/Koranic virgins myth. This deception of false doctrine /myth into the thoughts of some people was predicted in the Bible along with the false teachers who engage in the indoctrination of such a myth /doctrine into the minds and hearts other people . For it is written “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crown of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [N.E.B.]
