What could possibly go wrong? Her husband is dead. Might she engage in or help facilitate more jihad activity? Inconceivable!
“After Paris attack, Macron vows ‘unrelenting fight’ against Islamist terror,” Times of Israel, October 8, 2019:
…Harpon’s 38-year-old wife was taken into custody Thursday after officials found they had exchanged 33 text messages shortly before the attack, ending the conversation with “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest”).
A police source said she was released without charge on Sunday evening.
French police have often been targets of jihadist groups such as the Islamic State since 2015, from large, synchronized assaults to isolated knife and gun attacks.
In June, a parliamentary report on radicalization within the public services spoke of 30 suspected cases out of the 150,000 police officers and 130,000 gendarmes in France.

Harpon’s 38-year-old wife knew all about his jihad obsession BUT SHE DID NOT TURN HIM IN. Muslims are not supposed to turn on their own people, and the sin would have been GREAT had she turned JIHAD-HUBBY over to the cops.
Mohammed told Muslims to rat one another out or criticize one another. Do that to a KAFIR, though, as MUCH as you like.
Slandering unsubmitted kafirs is HALAL.
mortimer says
correction: Mohammedans should NOT rat one another out.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Once Harpon and his wife had text-messaged 33 times between 11:21 and 11:50, and what he was about to do made clear — some reports include the information that he told her about buying the knives — she did not call to warn the police to stop Harpon from entering police headquarters. In doing nothing, she was an accessory before the fact. What is her explanation for that failure? Furthermore, her story about his behaving in a “deranged” fashion during the night was an attempt to mislead, for he was not suffering a “psychotic episode” (as Tariq Ramadan calls it) when he set out to kill, as she tried to suggest but was, rather, dutifully following the Qur’anic commands to wage violent Jihad. He had been a Muslim for ten years, increasingly drawn to Salafism. He defended the Kouachi brothers who had killed 12 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in 2015, and other Muslim terrorists since then as well. She knew perfectly well what he was about to do.
So the question is: why are the police releasing her?
Angemon says
“Jihadi groups” – that’s your problem right there. How many of the so-called “lone wolf” attacks are not recognized as jihadi attacks simply because they can’t find a direct link between the perpetrator and a jihadi group?… You can ignore the phenomenon of “self-radicalization” (i.e., a muslim becoming more pious and devout and going stab-stab or vroom-vroom on infidels to ensure the) but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring said phenomenon…

True, Angemon–so often, these are rejected as Jihad terror attacks because the perpetrator did not have a “Member of ISIS” membership card. This is ridiculous.

France: Wife of Paris jihad murderer is released, despite “Allahu akbar” text messages with killer before attack
……………………..
Yes–these text messages prove she knew what he was planning, and that she not only approved but was egging him on. Her being released is grotesque.
Battle says
High Fitzgerald hits nail on head. Good.
Mary Lunn says
She should have been released back to where she came from. She should not be allowed to stay in a Western part of the world.
