Jihad Watch

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

Photo released: Lyon knife jihadi is Muslim migrant from Afghanistan, Sultan Marmed Niazi

Aug 31, 2019 3:04 pm By Robert Spencer

Niazi “made confused remarks to investigators,” according to this report. That is an indication that this will be ascribed to mental illness, as so many jihad attacks have been in the past.

“[Info VA] Attack in Villeurbanne: the identity of the suspect now known,” translated from “[Info VA] Attaque à Villeurbanne : l’identité du suspect désormais connue,” Valeurs Actuelles, August 31, 2019 (thanks to BD):

The alleged perpetrator was born in 1986 in Afghanistan and is called Sultan Marmed Niazi.

A knife attack in Villeurbanne, in the suburbs of Lyon, killed one (who was a young man of 19 years) and wounded nine (including three who are in critical condition) this Saturday night, near a subway station.

Stopped by passersby, the attacker is currently in custody. Born in 1986 in Afghanistan according to his statements, Sultan Marmed NIAZI made confused remarks to investigators.

It seems that there is no accomplice, contrary to what some witnesses initially claimed….

    Evil inside and out. And those he killed and injured were probably working to keep him fed and housed.
    son of the devil and doing the works of his father.

    A young man has been robbed of his life, a family has been robbed of their son, but hey he was only an infidel! We can’t have this setting off “Islamophobia”, the poor fellow is probably just “mentally ill” no matter what he may have said about the Koran, they enrich our culture, it’s “racist” to complain, nothing to see here folks move on.

    Same old same old, different damn day…

      This is what happens when a country is conquered, incl rapes and other crimes. France soon to be a full blown caliphate and sharia law if not already. Other E.U. countries likewise.

      Dear Friends. I’m Also From Afghanistan and speaking the same language as Mr. Niazi
      its not about religion or being associated with any terrorist group.otherwise he would have a french nationality passport in his pocket and carrying AK-47 Automatic rifle like Charlie Hebdo attackers!!!
      with due respect and condolences to the families of victims and RIP The young man 19yrs victim.
      living in france itself is a noting less than a nightmare, especially if you are a migrant from another country. migrants are treated like animals.
      the french police and immigration officers behaviours toward migrants are more severe than Nazi-soldiers in concentration camps.in france no one listen to you and all the authorities are handed over to cruel police of france.
      rights of migrants are not given and the french rulers even do not respect the LAW which they themselves had made it.

      -i was and im one of those victims, many times it came to my mind to take the humanity law in my hands and hurt the french speakers!!!!!!!!! but then taught that what will come into your hands by hurting innocent people ?

      i’m an EX- Intelligence Officer From Afghanistan,have two Bachelors degree in Business And Politics and from a respected family, but due to Some Political Issues that I faced in my country, i faced To France To Seek Refuge, but Without any strong reason or proof the French Police Put Me Into Jail,cursed me And Stood on My Back with While My Both Hands Were Cuffed ! and after 24 hours said, Go You Are Free!!!

      this was a small example of it, you will see manymore like.

        If what you say is true, this is a travesty you are treated like this, locals who assisted the allies, welfare should be a priority.
        But still this knifemans actions are straight out of the koran, he is performing Jihad, if you don’t like that, you should look to have the koran updated to be compatible with our civilized world.

          sir, with due respect to All Devine religions including christianity.

          let me ask you, Who were the christians fighting even before the Quran was Revealed to muhammad ?
          why The Jews And Christians Massacred EachOthers In the Stream Of History? even The son of christians god ( JESUS PEACE BE UPON HIM) bacame of the victims!

          -Why after the Conquest Of Jerusalem By Islamic Caliph ( Omer Ibn Khattab ), The Christian EX- Ruler Of Jerusalem Suggested Omer To Do Not Let The Jews To Enter The Holly City Of Jerusalem ?

          -Why The Christians France Invaded The North Africa And Massacred The African Ladies And Children ?

          -Why The Bible Followers Killed More Than 100 Million People in Both World Wars ?

          -Why Today The Zionist-Jews Are Suckling The Blood Of Muslim Asia/Middle East And Christian American VIA Afghanistan,IRAQ,SYRIA War And Banking Sectors ?

          Look My Dear, NO religions Teaches To Kill Innocents. if you find in the quran that, kill an innocent human being,i would leave islam now and start spreading hate speech with you gentlemen.

          GoodDY

    ………………

    He said he wanted to murder everyone who doesn’t read the Qur’an–there is nothing confused about that–evil, but not confused.

      “He said he wanted to murder everyone who doesn’t read the koran”

      I wonder would that include..?

      1 His “prophet” muhammed “Who could neither READ nor write”
      koran 7:157

      2 Non Arab muslims who don’t know a word of Arabic “What?A FOREIGN TONGUE and an Arab?”
      koran 41:44

      3 A dyslexic muslim

      “WE shall make thee read o muhammed so that shalt not forget” says allah
      koran 87 v 6

      muhammed however is… ILLITERATE..

      What idiocy is it to tell an illiterate to read or for a muslim fanatic to tell others they must read the koran if they can’ read it or don’t want to read such garbage?

    I wonder if they’re coached to sound crazy to avoid stiff criminal penalties.

    Sultan Marmed NIAZI made confused remarks to investigators.

    I suppose that, if he justified his actions with islam, that would confuse the investigators – “but isn’t islam a religion of peace?”

    But not as an asylum seeker.

    Where are all the real men in France who will stand up and take their country back? France has little hope at this late date. Apathy, nihilism prevails.

    I’m not sure that it’s right to altogether discount the ‘mental health’ idea. Growing up in a muslim community where the people practice islam must be a disturbing experience, and endeavouring to follow islam would be really tough, distressing. All enough to make anyone crazy. And then it seems that disturbed people are also easily attracted to islam. The two things – islam and mental illness – are intertwined; muhammed’s biography is plainly that of a psychotic person.

    So why do these ”mentally ill” always choose to attack their hosts and never their own filthy kind? Just curious about this correlation.
