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

France: Seven Muslims in Finistere region arrested for plotting jihad massacre

Jan 22, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

What? Not white supremacists? Not right-wing extremists? There must be some mistake.

“French police arrest seven for Islamist extremist-linked terror plot,” AFP, January 21, 2020:

PARIS – Security forces on Monday arrested seven men believed to be planning a terror attack in France and preparing to travel to conflict zones in Iraq and Syria, according to sources close to the case.

They were detained by France’s DGSI domestic intelligence agency in the western coastal city of Brest and the surrounding Finistere region.

Some of the men were on the country’s “Fiche S” list of potential security risks because of their links with Islamic extremists, one of the sources said.

Investigations will continue to determine how far the suspects had advanced in their plans for the attack and flight to the Middle East.

France has been on high alert since a wave of jihadi attacks that began in 2015 that have killed more than 250 people.

Dozens of French citizens left to join the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq before U.S.-led coalition forces dislodged the insurgents from their “caliphate” last year.

IS leaders also urged followers in France to stage attacks on their own, often targeting security forces, and officials have said the threat of further IS-inspired attacks remains high.

French officials say they have foiled several terror plots in recent months….

    “French officials say they have foiled several terror plots in recent months”

    And as long as you have Muslims in your country, terror plots are a permanent part of the job.

      As long as the “right” targets get killed, it is great job security for those who want to keep the invasion and conquest going. Would we expect German police to do anything about Storm Trooper crimes? A corrupt system does not end its own corruption.

      Grimly true, DMB.

      Frank, I’m not sure that foiling Jihad terror plots is actually a sign of supporting Muslims flooding into France. I think that thwarting Jihad plots is a sign that there is at least some continuing resistance to Jihad.

    France as we know it (or rather, as it used to be) is tottering towards destruction. And the tragedy is that it is self-inflicted.

      And France has many nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them.

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 22, 2020 at 10:06 pm

        Agreed, Frank–if Muslims get their hands on nukes in Western nations we will be in even more danger.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Jan 22, 2020 at 10:17 pm

          GI, given that Pakistan has well over 100 nuclear weapons, that NK has more, and is for every reasonable belief sharing its technology with Iran, which has over 19,000 centrifuges running and consuming the entire electrical output of its nuclear generating plant, a few more weapons from occupied France would make a very dangerous picture for a very short time. France has mature and capable delivery systems in place in the heart of Europe and in easy reach of the US. Where is Winston Churchill when he is needed so much?

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 22, 2020 at 10:22 pm

          Agreed, Frank.

          I just assume that nations in the West likely have much more sophisticated weapons systems than does Dar-al-Islam itself. But you are *quite right* that any nukes in the hands of Muslims represents a terrible danger.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Jan 22, 2020 at 11:01 pm

          GI, French weapons dating from the 1960’s include the Mirage 4 supersonic jet and supersonic cruise missiles. Remember the subsonic Exocet missile disabled the US destroyer attacked by Iraq in the Persian Gulf, and sank or damaged many UK ships in the Falklands war. France is also in possession of ballistic missile submarines more or less equivalent to US Polaris boats (submarines are always “boats” regardless of size). Loss of civilized control of French nuclear weapons should be alarming to any rational analysis.

    In France ,those seven Muslim terrorists who have been arrested because they .were scheming a murderous jihad massacre in that country.

    This is ,somewhat, a reminder of those vicious and murderous Islamic terror attacks in the city of Paris , on July 14 , 2015, is because of those jihad-minded Muslim males who are so extremely deluded and irrational because they really believed in the nonsensical , strange and far –fetched doctrine contained in the Koran, of sex-filled paradise with black eye- houris, virgins, in it for the male Muslim who dies as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam fighting in the jihad. As, this bizarre Islamic doctrine of a houris -filled place is found in the Koran in, for example, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31.

    So this odd and outlandish Koranic doctrine inspired many young Muslims males to commit many horrendous, ruthless, heartless and murderous actions of jihad violence. Those vicious jihadists’ massacres that occurred in Paris was most wicked and hideous.

    That extreme deadly evil caused by those jihadist/Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the weird and false doctrine from the Koran of such a houris, filled paradise that had the outcome of mass murder and chaos in the city of Paris. This is a strong reminder of the wise statement written by the French philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

      Sadly, waging violent Jihad is not strange and far fetched–it is mainstream, orthodox Islam.

    This most recent foiled jihad massacre by Muslim terrorists is an Islamic evil that was ,thanks to the police, stopped Nevertheless other jihadist and jihadists terror murder had not been uncovered and halted .

    As that jihadist who had committed his murderous attacks in the French city of Strasbourg last December was indeed most heinous Even before this Strasbourg Muslim terrorist attack there were those vicious ISIS jihad attack and those brutal murdering Islamic terror attacks on November 13,14 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS.

    The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.

    It’s only a matter of time before there will be further jihad attacks in France. It’s not if but when another violent and deadly Islamic terror attack or attacks will happen .
