France: Waitress disarms gun-wielding Muslim migrant screaming “Allahu akbar,” cops say he’s mentally ill

Jan 24, 2019 10:15 am By Robert Spencer

Of course! What else could he possibly be but mentally ill? Who ever heard of a gun-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar”? It’s a religion of peace!

“French Waitress Disarms Gun-Wielding Migrant Who Shouted ‘Allahu Akbar,’” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 24, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A waitress in the French city of Montpellier was able to disarm a 43-year-old Moroccan migrant armed with a pistol after he threatened patrons of the restaurant in which she worked.

The 43-year-old entered the restaurant L’Escale on Saturday evening at around 6:45 p.m. to make an order and while waiting for his food began to pray to himself telling the waitress “it’s haram” and forcing her to sit down with him. He then proceeded to tell the waitress he had a pistol in his pocket and was planning on killing one of the customers eating at the restaurant, E-Metropolitain reports.

The waitress attempted to calm the man down and when he lowered his head in prayer she, along with other customers, managed to grab the pistol from his possession and restrain him until police were able to arrive.

While the pistol was revealed to only shoot blanks, it was said to have been a near perfect replica of a real firearm in its construction.

Following his arrest, police have kept the 43-year-old in custody pending a psychiatric evaluation, saying that he exhibited symptoms of mental illness….

    WAS MOHAMMED ‘MENTALLY ILL’ when he EXTERMINATED JEWS A KHAYBAR ???

    community of Khaybar. Muhammad told his warriors, “You will not go out with me unless you desire jihad. As for plunder, there will be none.”[5] Fittingly, the battle cry of the Muslims was “O victorious one, slay, slay!”[6] As the Muslims attacked, Muhammad called out, “Allah akbar [sic]! Khaybar is destroyed.”

      correction:
      WAS MOHAMMED ‘MENTALLY ILL’ when he EXTERMINATED THE JEWS OF KHAYBAR WHILE SHOUTING ‘ALLAH AKBAR’ ???

      In June 628, Muhammad led a Muslim army against the Jewish community of Khaybar. Muhammad told his warriors, “You will not go out with me unless you desire jihad. As for plunder, there will be none.”[5] Fittingly, the battle cry of the Muslims was “O victorious one, slay, slay!”[6] As the Muslims attacked, Muhammad called out, “Allah akbar [sic]! Khaybar is destroyed.”

    It seems possible to disarm terrorists. Certain belligerence is a prerequisite, of course together with a minimum of skill.

    Switzerland: Man fined 210 Swiss francs for shouting ‘Allahu akbar’+++
    Police in the Swiss city of Schaffhausen have defended their decision to fine a man who used the words “Allahu akbar” in public. The incident in May 2018, which saw the man fined 150 Swiss francs (€132) plus 60 francs in administrative charges, came to light this week after the 22-year-old involved went public with his story. The young man, named by Swiss media as Orhan E., said he used the Islamic phrase ‘Allahu akbar’, which literally means ‘God is [the] greatest’, to allegedly express his amazement after spotting a friend of his near Schaffhausen’s goods train depot. While he was speaking in Turkish to that friend, he was approached by an off-duty police officer. The policewoman then fined him for causing a public nuisance because he had used the phrase Allahu akbar in a “loud and clear” manner. Local police have since defended the fine, saying the officer acted appropriately. “At the time, there was a possibility that people could have become afraid or shocked,” a media spokesperson for the force, Patrick Caprez, told local daily Schaffhauser Nachrichten. The phrase ‘Allahu akbar’ has often been used by terrorists before carrying out attacks. Schaffhausen security chief Romeo Bettini also backed the force’s decision to fine the man. Bettini noted the manner in which the phrase had been spoken was key in the 2018 incident and added police officers would have acted in the same way if someone had run around a local square swearing loudly. “It is completely wrong to say this phrase [Allahu akbar] is forbidden in Schaffhausen,” he said. He added police always used their judgement as to what constituted a nuisance.

    Every time a Muslim shouts about allah and attempts violence in France or Germany he is govenment-labeled, “mentally ill”. One could conclude, rather than the, “Religion Of Peace”, Islam is the, “Religion Of The Mentally Ill”.

    So what, in Islam, causes mental illness? Could it be realizing after all the devotion and sacrifice one has nothing to show for it but ignorance and functional incompetence – contrary to the promises of allah – while immersed in a modern society that considers Islam to be as foreign as the moon?

    In Islam there is always the shortcut escape to Jannah(Paradise) and success through martyrdom while removing unbelievers from the planet. Is choosing martyrdom really a sign of mental illness or is it a logical product of Islamic indoctrination? Learning that answer by experience is the most costly method; a method currently employed by the three M&M’s, Macron, Merkel, and May.

    What a pitiful human being. Mentally ill? Perhaps. Intellectually challenged? Most definitely.
    Sounds totally confused. Basically unarmed so no killing intent. I suspect that Islamic indoctrination didn’t fully take hold of him –yet. Ergo – confused. The type of gullible, easily misled, pitiful person the evil doers are enlisting to do their evil works.

    • simpleton1 says

      Jan 24, 2019 at 4:11 pm

      “Intellectually challenged?” “unarmed so no killing intent.”
      Not experienced enough to know that some one sold him for good money, a pistol that only sold blanks.
      So he was a dupe believing he was getting a weapon that would do the real job, but now trying to show “lack of intent” and mask his original motivation that came from the “perfect man” Mohammad.
      He does not want any fault to be found about Mohammad.
      Somebody mislead and found a sucker with good money for that pistol.

      Does it really matter, when terror is being produced, as every one in that cafe would have had to go through the adrenaline; “flight or fight” or fortunately it was “fight”, though not quite for their lives.

      Increased fear, lack of trust, with ongoing costs of security, which also costs people time, courts, jail,

      Just above, Westman’s conclusion, religion of the mentally ill.
      That tool of ridicule needs to be pursued relentlessly, on islam, so that the ones who listen to their leaders, can see the foolishness when succinct pithiness is used.

      Long live free speech, thanks to R. Spencer and his contributors, and many of the commentators.

        I think you may be giving him too much credit. I wouldn’t read too much “deep thinking” into this guy’s head. Much like the guy who took a knife to a gun fight but, in this case, it was a blank firing gun..

          He wanted to feel powerful !
          Islam makes you feel powerful: “the best of people”. (If you are a man). Guns make you feel powerful -even a fake one.
          This man wanted to know what it feels like to be powerful. With Allah always on your side if you hate the kaffir.

        The psychopathic mind trap called Islam has ensured that even strong minds have virtually no choices and no one to whom they can turn. Poisoned soil lends itself to predictable aberrations.

    Amazing how all the insane or ‘mentally ill’ scream allahu akbar when on the verge of blood-letting… They’re obviously calling to the chief of the asylum, himself deranged!

    What is to be done ?

    Our world: the insane & the deluded, with but a few able to discern reality… the sanest among us leading us prophetically through the desert to who-knows-where…

      “Indeed, he is mad.”
      “Surely he is possessed!”
      “He is certainly insane.”
      ‘Surely he is a man possessed!’
      “Verily, he is a madman!”

    If his pistol only fired blanks (so the report says), maybe he was nuts. What kind of jihadist goes with a pistol that only fires blanks, and in addition warns people in advance that he is going to attack? A nutcase jihadist?

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 26, 2019 at 12:40 am

      Maybe just one who wants to “strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers”, Eduardo.

  10. Strelnikov says

    Jan 24, 2019 at 2:11 pm

    Of course he is mentally ill. He’s a devout Muslim.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Jan 24, 2019 at 4:13 pm

      Yes, that is arguably true, especially of jihadists, but there may be an additional illness involved in this case, since he does not behave normally even for a jihadist.

  11. endislam says

    Maybe they should all be rounded up and put in mental institutions until they can figure out if one of them is sane.

    • WPM says

      Jan 25, 2019 at 8:41 am

      We have whole countries that are basically large scale mental institutions Pakistan being one of them the trouble is the patients have escape to live in the west to practice large scale insanity that is Islam. Even if the gun only shots blanks it is still terrorism, just think of the other diners being terrorist by this idiot. Just think they will always think about that moment every time they go out to eat. Think of the business this place lost over this little bit of jihad performed that evening.

    So their sayin and/or suggesting that islam and muslimes are and have a mental disorder!?! Isn’t that racist? How is it not racist (leftist verbiage) to say that someone using the phrase allah crapbar is a mental disorder?
    Just more leftist gymnastics about who can say what and who can’t and who can do whatever they want and who can’t. Everything leftists touch they ruin and destroy, common sense is not common and it’s all getting worse.
