“Prosecutors have said he told investigators his ‘mission was to kill and be killed.'”
Where did he get the idea for such a mission? Could it have been from the Qur’an?
“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (9:111)
Will authorities in Michigan or anywhere ponder the implications of the congruence of this jihadi’s mission with the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise to those who kill and are killed? Of course not.
“Man convicted of terrorism at Flint airport gets life, says he regretted not killing more people,” Fox2 Detroit, April 18, 2019:
FLINT, Mich. (FOX 2) – A Canadian man convicted of terrorism for nearly killing an airport police officer in Michigan was sentenced Thursday to life in prison.
U.S. prosecutors said Amor Ftouhi drove 1,000 miles from Montreal to the airport in Flint, Michigan, where he yelled “God is great” in Arabic and repeatedly stabbed Lt. Jeff Neville in 2017.
Investigators said Ftouhi wanted to stab Neville, take his gun and start shooting people in the airport. He legally drove into the U.S. at Champlain, New York, and arrived in Flint five days later. He tried but failed to buy a gun at a gun show and instead bought a large knife.
During Thursday’s sentencing, Ftouhi told the judge that he “regretted he did not get a machine gun” and regretted he did not “kill that cop.”
He also asked for a life sentence and said he had jihad in his heart and blood and didn’t kill enough people
Ftouhi is a native of Tunisia who moved to Canada in 2007. He had a degree in sociology, worked in insurance and had no indications of being radicalized until the attack in Flint.
Prosecutors have said he told investigators his “mission was to kill and be killed.”
His defense lawyer, Joan Morgan, said Ftouhi wasn’t attempting to create mass casualties and wanted to be killed so his family could collect life insurance and so he could become a martyr….
Neville, who was on duty at the airport, when he was approached from behind by Ftouhi and had his throate slashed….

“Our false pagan islamic Arab god of hate,allah “the BEST of deceivers”….the god of hate,of al walaa wal baraa, who arrogantly teaches us muslims we can violate God’s Exodus 20 commandments… is so much better than your Judeo-Christian God of Love,and to prove this point,watch me do something evil and immoral and let’s pretend it is permitted by God …”

This is certainly a horrible incident and thank God the police officer was not killed! ! Life in prison is way too good for this creep, and his lawyer should not speak in public ever! This could have been much worse than it was and his lawyer should be embarrassed for trying to downplay his terrorist intent! How braindead can one lawyer be?? Thank God he did not have an automatic weapon! This is so frightening that everyday in America we see these threats! God save America from the madness!
Trump,2020. Our only hope! ??????????

“…had no indications of being radicalized until the attack…”
People need to understand security is important; being aware is important, these things should never be an afterthought. I can not count the number of times in the last year I have heard supposedly informed people shut down another person who raised security concerns. This was a trained officer, who was on the job at the time of the attack.

Solution:
AVOID Tunisians who’ve lived in Canada over a decade working in the insurance field, and who have a college degree in sociology.
SIMPLE.
He’ll probably get out in 10 years due to good behavior, particularly due to being such a good chaplain to fellow inmates.
Gary Stephan says
Once released he will approach the Canadian government for redress in being so unfairly treated by the Americans. For having to endure such horrors that government will award him $10,000,000. If Trudeau manages to win another majority.

The Religiously observant Jew…
Moral imperative:Obey the 6th commandment{Exodus 20} that condemns homicide..and refrain from doing Evil
God does not reward evil.
The Sincere Christian…
Moral imperative:Obey the 6th commandment{Exodus 20} that condemns homicide..and refrain from doing
Evil
God does not reward evil
Jews and Christians understand God’s laws:muslims don’t.They have allah “the BEST of deceivers” k3:54,the pagan Arab god to misguide them.
The Devout muslim..
Moral imperative:What moral imperative?What “commandments”??
The “sixth” …what now?Who cares! allah says I can “slay the unbelievers wherever I find them” k2:191
as long as they are non-muslims.Look!It’s in the koran,the word of allah and allah is OK with murder!
So what if the koran DISAGREES with those Exodus 20 laws?allah will reward me in his carnal paradise with Houris and pearly boys..
mortimer says
FYI, the SECOND COMMANDMENT of Islam is AL WALAA WAL BARAA … Islamic apartheid. A Muslim is OBLIGATED TO HATE the dirty kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Kindly master the doctrine of AL WALAA WAL BARAA or you cannot say that you understand Islam.

if the cop shot him——would his family COLLECT?
James Lincoln says
I ran this by a friend of mine who is a Chartered Life Underwriter CLU, and he said:
The circumstances under which the life insurance companies will not pay a claim are very limited, and include:
Suicide (even suicide by cop) within two years of issue
Death while committing a felony
Lying about your health on the application and die within the first two years (the so-called “contestability period” in life insurance) of the policy.
Since Amor Ftouhi was committing a felony, a life insurance company could deny his claim on that basis.
somehistory says
esther
the simple answer is “no.”
Even car insurance rules out getting paid if one is hurt committing a crime. Health insurance has restrictions. and life insurance is plainly for those who die of old age, die of a disease that was not present when the policy was issued….or for those cheap policies for ten dollars a month in premiums, don’t need a medical report and pay very small claims…or accident…and homicide. as an innocent victim.
Many exclude being killed in an act of war. So, committing a crime and being killed by a policeman…would rule out his family getting any money. If he had understood his job in insurance…which he obviously didn’t…he wouldn’t have expected them to get any.

Let’s just say, ‘Someone did something’. To say otherwise would be viewed as being hostile by progressives.

I like the photo of this dude with a wire fence behind him…
Looks like he’s got metal spikes going through his head.
Which is likely the case.
somehistory says
Thank you, Ashley.
I thought he did have wires coming from his head. Tried to figure it out and couldn’t.
BTW, on that other thread, about the “30” workers, I read it that they were there **when:** the fire broke out, & did;t realize until reading the posts from you and Terry Gain. That;s why I thought it interesting that those actually working on it weren’t there.
Ashley says
Oh…he definitely has wires coming out of his head, fence or no fence.
Yeah…that article was sort of confusing to me, somehistory. The thirty employees were interviewed but it doesn’t state how soon they left the cathedral before the fire.
Between you, me and the lamppost I think this was an inside job. I’m thinking a deranged employee of the cathedral…
CRUSADER says
Lamp post agrees….
somehistory says
I agree, Ashley.
When I read on FOX that the French say likely “electrical short”…I immediately thought about someone turning off the power to a portion of the system, stripping a piece of the insulation from some wires, and then turning the power back on. Once this was accomplished, a fire could begin when the heat increased enough to set something they may have left…accelerant of some kind…on fire.
Squirrels cause transformers to spark and burn by chewing wires. Rats cause houses and other buildings to burn by doing the same thing.
And I have seen more than one person strip wires…not wanting start a fire, but even so, making a short circuit.
Someone who had “legal” access could have easily done this, while knowing that with so many “workers” coming and going, they would be less likely to be caught. moslim or otherwise.
somehistory says
His lawyer said he wasn’t trying to “create mass casualties”….but he said he wanted to.
He tried to buy a gun…wishing he had a machine gun…and bought a knife because he couldn’t buy a gun.
Even in court, even when the guy admits to guilt, some people just don’t want to let go of their delusions about moslims. Hint to his lawyer: he is a really, really bad guy and he wanted to kill a lot of people to please his fake ‘god.’ Your client was, and is, evil.

I’m glad you posted this. If I hadn’t read it carefully I might have thought he was trying to get martyred killing kafirs like his Prophet told him. Now I understand that it was mere insurance fraud, not a murderous thought in his Allah-fearing little head. On the other hand, since he was just collecting jizya and not actually killing for Allah, he doesn’t qualify for the 72 virgins yet, he’ll have to kill a kafir in prison to qualify, right? Am I Understanding Another Culture yet?

I know we can Identify evil…or as Jesus said, “Rotten fruit,” but I don’t believe it is possible for a moral person, an ethical person, an honest person,…one who “produces good fruit,”…to really understand evil.
We can learn what to expect from moslims; and we can learn what their unholy book and other writings say, but as far as “understanding” **why*** a person does those things and thinks they are doing what is right…I just don’t believe we can.
I’ve taken criminal profiling and it is revealing, learning for what to look in identifying such people as serial killers, serial rapists, and there are several categories of these, etc. But, there is no “understanding why.” and I think that I don’t want to. I will always be asking, “How can they do such evil things?” and I don’t want to answer it ever.

This is orthodox Islam.

And apparently sociology muslim-style as well. Not sure if we want any more ”learned” muslims.
mortimer says
What is the ‘race’ of Amor Ftouhi who resembles a NORTHERN EUROPEAN ??? Perhaps he is descended from several European women from Iceland, Ireland, France who were kidnapped by Barbary pirates and then RAPED in harems after being SOLD in Tunisia.
THANK YOU JIHADI JUSTIN FOR THE VIBRANT MULTICULTURALISM IN CANADA!
Remember everyone: DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH and ISLAM MAY NOT BE CRITICIZED OR BLAMED FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG … even JIHAD ATTACKS.
Michael says
Why o i think this is old news u had already posted last yr
J D.S says
What I don’t understand is why some other cop didn’t send this idiot to hell…and HELL is their reward no matter if in JIHAD or just being hit by a car on the street, falling from a roof or just falling dead…UNLESS they repent and accept that JEsus’s the MESSIAH and change their wrongful ways…….The way the world is falling into the muslim pit of desolation, HEAVEN sure won’t be crowded….God loves everyone but we have a choice..He could have made us as robots…but He didn’t..
I look at what’s happening to God’s world today, which WE have allowed to happen, and wonder…..How much longer??
