“On Sunday, Castaner said Harpon had caused alarm among his colleagues as far back as 2015, when he defended the massacre of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper by two brothers vowing allegiance to al-Qaeda. But even though a police official charged with investigating suspected radicalization among the force questioned the colleagues, none of them wanted to file an official complaint.”
It’s easy to see why. In France as in the United States today, if you utter the slightest word against Islamic jihad violence or any suspicion of any individual Muslim, you’ll be fired and publicly defamed as an “Islamophobe,” a “racist,” and a “bigot.” You’ll be so stigmatized that you won’t be able to find another job, and if you do, your accusers will pursue you and get you fired from it as well. You’ll be accused of “hate” and of spreading “conspiracy theories.” These French officials who heard Harpon knew that if they filed a complaint against him, they would be committing career suicide. So they kept silent. Our politically correct fantasies about Islam and jihad have a price. Four people paid it in Paris last week. There will be many, many more.
“After Paris attack, Macron vows ‘unrelenting fight’ against Islamist terror,” Times of Israel, October 8, 2019:
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed an “unrelenting fight” against Islamist terror on Tuesday as he paid tribute to the four Paris police staff stabbed to death last week by a radicalized colleague….
On Sunday, Castaner said Harpon had caused alarm among his colleagues as far back as 2015, when he defended the massacre of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper by two brothers vowing allegiance to al-Qaeda.
But even though a police official charged with investigating suspected radicalization among the force questioned the colleagues, none of them wanted to file an official complaint.
Castaner will face questioning by parliament’s intelligence commission Tuesday over the attack, its president Christian Cambon said Sunday.
Ricard, the prosecutor, also revealed Saturday that Harpon had begun wearing traditional Islamic garments for mosque visits, and had started refusing “certain kinds of contact with women.”…

Look at that! Even in the police department, no one will report on a known jihad-sympathizer ! It’s Major Dr Nidal Hasan all over again !!
French men and women, stop helping your jihadist enemies! Save France from ISLAMISM. Kick out Macron.
Angemon says
Yup. I made that very same comparison days ago. In both cases, their colleagues saw something and stayed quiet.

Exactly, Mortimer and Angemon.
mortimer says
Muslims working in security should take routine lie detector tests to probe their sympathies with JIHAD-TERRORISM. If their sympathy for jihad scores too high, they should lose their security clearances.
elee says
And whoever claims theyll tell the truth should reconsider taqiyyah and its related doctrines. If interrogating Muslims actually gets us any useful information, well, Im just as glad they dont tell us about it.

Mortimer, Infidels will not even follow through when Muslims laud Jihad terror attacks.
elee says
A tiny node of intimidation festers into a cancer of fear in the police. Islam is a thuggish theocracy. Weve seen thuggery before. Will there be fatwas to enforce the fears? Do not ridicule French police officers who have wives and children and would much prefer to go home to them after work.
Giacomo Latta says
Sometimes fate throws a challenge across your path and work normally put in the hands of a superhero must be done by someone far lesser.
Michael Copeland says
It ought to be possible to appraise an employee’s suitability without waiting for a complaint to be filed.

This is also true, Michael. The supervisors are more to blame than the rank and file clerical workers here.
rooare says
No one wants to stick their neck out because political correctness will chop it off, that is if the Islamists don’t do it first.

When Paris jihadi praised jihad massacre, his colleagues were questioned, none wanted to file an official complaint
………………….
I wonder if some of these same people are dead today because of this? Not saying that anyone deserves this.
Now people are more scared of being considered “Islamophobic” than they are of being murdered in a Jihad terror attack. Suicidal insanity.
