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

France: Muslim who stabbed four while screaming “Allahu akbar” is convert with “psychological problems”

Jan 6, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

There is a recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam turning to jihad violence. Although this occurs with converts to no other religion, authorities remain completely indifferent to it. Also, why do so many of the attacks whom we are told are violently mentally ill also Muslims?

“Terrorist knifeman, 22, wearing a fake explosive vest and ‘shouting Allahu Akbar’ is shot dead in Paris after stabbing three people and ‘killing a 56-year-old man who was trying to protect his wife,'” by Peter Allen and Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, January 3, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A terrorist who was wearing a mock explosive vest was shot dead in Paris this afternoon after stabbing three people, killing a man who was trying to protect his wife.

Witnesses told local media the attacker was yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he launched the assault in the Hautes-Bruyères park in the Villejuif suburb shortly after 2pm on Friday.

Police said the man appeared to be wearing an explosive vest and had made off towards a Carrefour supermarket just under a mile away where he was ‘neutralised,’ shot several times and died at the scene.

Mayor of Villejuif Franck Le Bohellec told Le Parisen the dead man was a 56-year-old who ‘was walking with his wife when the attacker approached, he wanted to protect his wife and it was he who suffered the stab wound’.

The knifeman has been identified by French media as Nathan C. by his card details which say he was born in 1997 in Lilas, a commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris.

Several sources said Nathan C. suffered from ‘psychological problems.’

He was not being tracked as a religious zealot, although ‘elements linked to religion’ that ‘suggested he had converted to Islam’ were found among his personal effects, the local prosecutor’s office said….

    Europe is afraid of islam. It must be mental illness, cannot be islam. Hmm…maybe islam is the mental illness.

      It is evident many Muslims have mental illnesses. Is this because of their “religious” beliefs or could it have something to do with inbreeding?

    Prideful rage is a good thing in Islam, because it is a trait of Mohammed and Allah. Western people see it a ‘madness’, but prideful rage is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. All Muslims are required to show prideful rage towards the dirty kufaar.

    The ‘craziness’ of jihadists is not a pathology, but ‘assumed’ craziness, since it is acquired artificially by their imitation of a certifiable lunatic, Mohammed.

    In a similar manner, Nazis were NOT certifiably insane, but they acquired madness ARTIFICIALLY by their imitation of Adolf Hitler, a certifiable lunatic.

    Muslims have a doctrine of RAGE called ‘gheira’ or ‘ghira’.

    Ghira: This arabic word covers a wide meaning – self-respect, jealousy (as regards women), and it is also a feeling of fury with great anger when one’s honour and prestige or that of Islam is challenged or injured.

    Volume 9, Book 93, Number 512:
    Narrated Al-Mughira:
    Sa’d bin ‘Ubada said, “If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him (behead him) with the blade of my sword.” This news reached Allah’s Apostle who then said, “You people are astonished at Sa’d’s Ghira. By Allah, I have more Ghira than he, and Allah has more Ghira than I, and because of Allah’s Ghira, He has made unlawful Shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) done in open and in secret. And there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg His pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners and the givers of good news. And there is none who likes to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason, Allah promised to grant Paradise (to the doers of good).” ‘Abdul Malik said, “No person has more Ghira than Allah.”

    It is really difficult to distinguish between true mental illness and the religious fervor of the new convert to Islam.

    Both are in conflict with reason, involve incoherent shouts, inattention to personal hygiene, distorted facial expressions, and lead to self-destructive and anti-social behavior.

    The killer just before the attack threatened another pedestrian. This man told him he was a muslim. The killer told him to recite an Islamic prayer, which he did, and so he refrained from attacking him.

    Mental illness? Really?

    Police negligence in informing themselves, more like.

    In truth, in cases like this mental illness is very much a factor. Someone who willingly converts to Islam must have severe psychiatric problems to begin with – and that’s not me being glib or dismissive. Be very suspicious of any convert, and the true impulses behind his or her adoption of Islam.

    • Rarely says

      Jan 6, 2020 at 12:49 pm

      I agree. The convert was not raised to carry this so-called Islamic rage that we see so often among the religious. I have to wonder if, for a basically violent person, his/her conversion to islam isn’t simply because it provides a moral licence to murder, rape and pillage. i.e. Is islam simply attracting deranged people in the first place? If so, a mental deficiency or illness can almost be assumed.

        “Is islam simply attracting deranged people in the first place?”

        Re: adult converts, I would say that that statement is true…

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 7, 2020 at 7:40 pm

        Rarely, I believe this is why conversion to Islam is so common in prison among violent felons.

      Great comment, Michael. I also think you have to have some kind of mental illness, or maybe some extreme anger at the world and life, to choose to join Islam. With Islam’s endless hatred, its primitive, backward views on women, its paedophilia with child brides, etc, to join Islam, when there are such peaceful religions, such as Christianity or Buddhism, you could join, definitely indicates either a mental illness or an evil nature in the person who joins Islam. Islam seems to me like a license to hate and carry out violent, evil actions. How convenient it is for people full of hate or with a mental illness. It’s a perfect fit. I agree with your comment, Rarely.

    “Some mutation seems to take place in the humanness of the person the minute he announces his subservience to Islam by reciting the Shahada: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.” The individual becomes intolerant, violent and the shedding of blood becomes central to his life.
    Islam is tantamount to violence. Violence is the lifeblood of Islam and it has been ever since the time of Muhammad in Medina by Muhammad’s own edict and conducts.”

    It’s normal for Muslims to have psychological problems. Islam means “psychological problem” every bit as much as it means “submission.” Maybe even more.

    Who in his (or even her) healthy mind can convert to islam? Surely they are mentally challenged.

    Always the attacker who screams ‘Alluha akbar’ seems to be ‘mentally instable’ to the press and the authorities. I never heard about a ‘mentally instable person’ screaming ‘Jesus Aleluja’ or a ‘Holly Mary’ while attacking Muslims. The mental problems seem specific for Muslims. The reason of course is the Qu’ran condones and encourages the attacks.
