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

France: Two Muslim police officers in Paris have weapons taken away on suspicions of “radicalization”

Oct 13, 2019 8:30 am By Robert Spencer

How long before “Islamophobia” charges are leveled and they’re reinstated? Give it a week or so.

“Paris Police ‘Disarmed’ After Suspicions of Islamic Radicalisation,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 12, 2019:

Two Muslim Paris police officers have had their weapons taken away from them, with one suspended from duty, after allegations that the pair may have been radicalised.

The first officer, a 39-year-old, was ordered to surrender his firearm on Thursday and suspended by the police force as a “precautionary principle”. According to his colleagues, the officer had married a Muslim lawyer in 2011 and began to grow his beard, pray at work and show other signs of religiosity, Le Parisien reports.

In 2018, an investigation into the officer was done by the General Inspectorate of the National Police and the Directorate of Intelligence and found that while the officer was very religious, he was not radicalised. After divorcing his wife, he even shaved his beard and became less isolated from his fellow officers.

However, since the killing of four people, including police officers, earlier this month by Muslim convert Mickaël Harpon, police have become far more cautious, with officers floating the idea that the 39-year-old could be practising “Taqiyya” — a form of deceptive concealment of religious belief which Islam permits.

The second officer, a 34-year-old from Villeneuve-la-Garenne, had previously been suspended in 2018 after signs of radicalism but was later reinstated after a court appeal this year.

He is said to have encouraged other Muslims to pray with him and refused contact with female colleagues — much like Harpon is said to have done.

The officer also allowed the friend of a known terrorist to borrow his badge and firearm for a photograph….

    ——————————————————————-
    Irrespective of whether the above are “signs of radicalisation”, they are both sack-able offences.

    Letting the friend of a known terrorist pose with your badge and gun, is not only a sack-able offence, it is also a criminal offence, so there has already been extraordinary lenience and folly in the case of this officer.

    I cannot for an instant imagine my best friend from school-days – now an armed police officer – allowing me to pose for photographs with his gun, or him not being instantly dismissed if he did.

      “Irrespective of whether the above are “signs of radicalisation”, they are both sack-able offences.”

      My thoughts exactly.

    They are mocking the US, as we are idiots to allow them any power over any of us. They would send that photo to ISIS as a sign that people of free nations are easy pickings for their attacks. The Quran forbids any cooperation with other governments and religions, they are not to even take one of us as friends or helpers. So tell me again how this tolerant religion has anything to give to humanity for the good of humanity when they call everyone else dogs, and pigs, and Infidels. They are showing comrades that they have been able to plant Muslims into our Federal Government and State Governments and even in Security details protecting the same Country they hate so much. Wake up and smell the bullshit.

      They probably *are* mocking the US, and the rest of the West–but this story takes place in France.

    The trojan horse ploy has worked wonderfully well for Islam as Muslims who may be prone to radicalization are now deeply embedded within all of the public service of many countries. Demanding more and more “rights” as Muslims they can easily use the spectre of Islamophobia to bully their fellow employees and supervisors into giving them all they want.
    It may be time to look critically and with suspicion on all Muslim in public office and in public service.

    Wait, what?

    You mean France is actually being proactive?

    France is lost! The unfettered immigration of thousands of Muslims into France, with no acclimation, never works! The invade and demand, create no go zones, crimes increase, disease, rape, murder, destruction of landmarks, cemeteries and churches, etc etc
    The fire at Notre same was not an accident!! Citizens of France need stand up and protect their sovereignty as it’s clear Macron does not!! Who will save France this time? Pm Churchill is not resting easy today!! Before long, France will no longer be France, Europe will slowly disappear, England too!
    God save us from this world wide insanity !

    It’s a start! It’s crazy to have Muslim police officers in the West. And, although I’m a diehard supporter of gun rights, I’ve gotta say, I don’t like the idea of armed Muslims in civilized countries.

    Putting Muslims in the Police or Military is like putting the Fox in charge of the hen-house.

      I agree Savvy Kafir….and ntesdorf and now it is common. Currently completely enmeshed in U.S. national security, military and all forms of government, after taking an oath on a Quran, economics medical profession and media, advisers, education as professionals and this knowledge strikes fear into me once you have knowledge of dictates they may act on. How we could arrive at this level was years of planning and very strategic if not totally clever. The high birth rates will accomplish the rest, and all through my past the left promoted birth control the effects of this and many wars fronts aiding “allies” of a different stripe, even less men seems to seal a deal. Just wonder who it was it with in the U.S.

    So France, so often derided in this Anglophone forum, has begun to quit arming jidhadis against its own citizens. Its a small step, but then again has anyone seen a story from Britain or Canada or U.S. or Australia about any similar steps? Get depressed once in America and they try to disarm you forever. Go to the street corner and rant about how many kafirs al Lah told you to kill, no big deal, cant be Islamophobic. Can you say Major Hasan Nidal?

      I hope all Western nations start taking a hard look at Muslims who have infiltrated the police and armed forces.

    …………………

    I suppose it is good that authorities noticed–now, will they have to reinstate these pious Mohamedans if accused of “Islamophobia”?

    … the Directorate of Intelligence found that while the officer was very religious, he was not radicalized!? Really?!
    This is the new leftist “moral equivalence” psuedo-intelligence – a dhimmitude of sorts.
    Not even Satanism commands its followers to kill unbelievers and subjugate the world; …and lie to their advantage in the process.
    Islam is radical with respect to every world religion, government, ideology, and culture.
    Islam is a threat to the free world and by extension, so is every Sharia believing moslem.
    Islam will remain an eternal expansionist threat to all mankind just as it has proven through 1400 years of expansionism, intolerance, barbaric terror, murder, and genocide.
    The Quran is Mohammad’s “rules for radicals”.
    Allah is Mohammad’s “god of the World” and “Great Deceiver”, the same names used for Satan in the Bible.
    Mohammad killed unbelievers.
    Mohammad said Allah hates kafirs.
    The Quran says to fight, subjugate, or kill them.
    Moslems have done this for 1400 years in the name of Islam.
    Today’s moslems cry death to the free world and its laws, and behead those who insult Islam.
    Every day they terrorize and kill us kufar; and invade our governments and communities.
    And yet, …the leftists say Islam is peace while they embrace their vote and succumb to their Sharia demands.
    The leftists are our first enemy, for without their desperate need for votes to establish their globalist vision, the invasion of Islam would not be happening, or at least be tempered and controlled.

    Every political party in Canada is asleep at the wheel, except the PPC.
    Bernier’s unshakeable principles and belief in free speech are what this country needs.
    VOTE to keep Canada a free country!!

    And a Legal Suit for islamophobia has been filled by their mosque appointed lawyer. And as we know that all politicos are spineless then it will result in lots of Euros in compensation for violation of “Hate Crime” Laws.

    investigate them, if so; fire and arrest them with deportation not out of the question!
