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

France: Man converts to Islam, is arrested while trying to pick up his mail-order sub-machine gun

Mar 23, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Just another day in glorious, multicultural France.

“Islamist Arrested at French Post Office Trying to Collect Sub-Machine Gun,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, March 19, 2019:

A French former prisoner who had converted to Islam while incarcerated was arrested after trying to have a sub-machine gun delivered to him by post.

The 30-year-old, who was not identified by name, was arrested last week in the city of Angers in Western France at a local post office while attempting to pick up the firearm that had originally come from the United States, Le Parisien reports.

On Friday, the man was indicted on charges of importing category A weapons, according to public prosecutor Yves Gambert.

Local media also added that the suspect had served a seven-year prison sentence in 2010 for violence with a weapon and targetted a police officer. While in prison, he converted to Islam and was examined by security services in 2016 following the Bataclan massacre in November of 2015.

He also is alleged to have met and had become well acquainted with Islamist David Pagerie who had previously been convicted of consulting Islamist jihadi sites in 2016.

The Islamic State terror group has even been known to have such a presence in some French prisons. They were able to coordinate and plan a terror attack with inmates in the Fresnes prison in 2017 until the plot was foiled by the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI) intelligence agency….

      Islam is “the religion of peace”. The poor guy probably ordered a copy of the Torah and they sent him a submachinegun by mistake. 😉

        Presumably it was a sub post-office ?

    It’s not that difficult to understand that Muslim motive for wanting to obtain a sub- machine gun.
    Just look are all the wonders that the religion of Islam has given to France by believers in Islam with all their jihad-minded Islamic zeal .Seen in the jihadist shooting murders in Strasburg last December. As also observed in Jihadist/Muslims in those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks of Charlie Hebdo and then later those jihad ISIS attack in Paris, France, on Bastille Day July 14, 2016 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.

    What’s the first thing one does after converting to a new religion? One attempts to put it all into practice. One reads the religion’s handbook and does what it commands.

    When so many converts to Islam go out and kill non-believers, then perhaps a sensible reaction would be to look in the religion’s handbook and find the part where it commands them to go out and kill non-believers.

      Are newly converted Muzzies more dangerous than long-time devout Muzzies?

      (Not counting just the folk followers of Islam, in this…. you know, those who are in “it” for the culture part…)

        na, this is mostly antisemitic claptrap.

        This video was made by someone calling himself “PRAECURSATOR”. He’s a supporter of global Jihad.

        If you check out his Twitter feed, there is lot there about how Israel is “fake” and needs to be destroyed. It also claims the Jewish Messiah is the “Dajjal”–the Muslim term for the devil.

        Ugly stuff.

    Many youngsters convert to Islam for a revenge attack. If both failed their love affair, Boy convert to Islam to kill ex lover to ensure sharia protection as per sharia law(which is allowed as per sharia , if love affair is failed then boy has the power to stone her to death.)
