Italy: Muslim migrant attacks 60-year-old man in supermarket when asked to keep distance

Mar 29, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

The attacker is a product of a culture of violence in which people are exhorted in the text they regard with the highest reverence to wage war against and subjugate outsiders (Qur’an 9:29) and to be ruthless toward them (Qur’an 48:29), for they are the most vile of created beings (Qur’an 98:6). Did anyone in Europe really think that no one they were bringing in would take such texts seriously and act upon them?

“Italy: North African migrant attacks 60-year-old man in supermarket when asked to keep distance,” by Arthur Lyons, Voice of Europe, March 26, 2020:

A 60-year-old man was attacked by a North African migrant in a supermarket after he asked the migrant to maintain a distance of a least one meter at the check-out line.

The elderly man was lining up to check-out with his items at a discount store in Corso Trieste when he asked the couple behind him –  a North African man with his wife – to maintain at least a one-meter distance between them. At this point, the migrant became irate, started screaming and threatened the elderly man physically, La Stampa reports.

“He started screaming, threatening to break my face. He approached. He touched me and breathed on me,” the 60-year-old man from Novara said.

After shop workers attempted to intervene in the situation, the victim said that the migrant became even angrier and began railing against the Italians, calling them “bastards and racists”.

Unfortunately, the ordeal didn’t end inside the supermarket.

After checking out with his items, the North African migrant chased the 60-year-old down, grabbed him, and kneed him in the thigh.

“I didn’t react in the first place because you never know if the attacker is armed or not; secondly, because I wanted to avoid physical contact, with possible risks of coronavirus contagion,” the victim said….

    The North African was arrested?

    Charged with two counts “breathing on” and “kneeing”of assault?

    Charged with a hate crime?

    After sentencing will he be deported?

    Is his mosque being investigated?

    Is his imam being questioned?

      More likely he will get EU compensation and bonus citizenship.

      Battle,

      From what I can tell so far from my research, “No” to all your questions.

      But you knew that already…

    The North African perpetrator “touched and breathed on” his victim then claimed “racists” being the victim?

    Maybe all cultures aren’t the same. Maybe diversity is not a strength. Maybe bigotry is justified.

    Seems to be the case in North Africa.

    • Jayell says

      “Maybe bigotry is justified”,,,,,or maybe it’s usually not ‘bigotry’ at all. A bigot will cry ‘bigot’ at anyone whose adverse criticism of them doesn’t accord with their own narrow perspective. As the saying has it, ‘It takes a thief to catch a thief’ – or think they’ve caught one; Or ‘It takes one to know one’ – or think they ‘know’ one. Likewise with anyone who cries ‘bigot’ or ‘racist’, or any other buzz-insult.

      By the way, in any kind of design, structural, aesthetic or otherwise, I thought it was always assumed that ‘diversity’ was considered a potential weakness. And if all cultures were the same, we’d all be doing the same sort of things in the same sort of way the world over. We don’t.

        I had something along those lines happen. Some boisterous family group that looked like it had just gotten off the boat seemed to deliberately gather closer around me as I was about to use my debit card in a grocery store. They were happily ‘pushing the envelope’ IMO and announcing their important presence. I took it in stride and just gave them a look.

          It doesn’t freak me out at all if someone isn’t 6′ away. You can’t live in a bubble. However, when someone gets close and sees that it doesn’t bother me, it seems to bother them! Like I “failed” their test and now they’re stumped as to their next move.

    “After checking out with his items”

    That sums up the problem: he should have been removed from the store WITHOUT his items.
    There’s an old saying “what would Jesus do”. It’s time we started asking “what would a muslim do” to us if the situation was reversed.

    Italy had almost saved itself. Matteo Salvini was in charge for a while and he successfully closed Italy’s borders. Italy foolishly removed him from office, and the borders were flung wide open again.

    • Dawne Swift says

      Mar 29, 2020 at 1:43 pm

      Yes, this is the sad truth

    • James Lincoln says

      Mar 29, 2020 at 6:55 pm

      Matteo Salvini was Italy’s last hope.

      Unless something changes drastically – and very quickly – Italy is finished.

      Euro-lefties are determined to destroy Europe by any means necessary. The indigenous people are being replaced at a rate nearly impossible to reverse. Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, and the UK will all be muslim-dominate countries within 50 years. Nothing so far has encouraged Europeans to reproduce at even a maintenance level, which, added to a policy of severely limiting immigration would be a hopeful sign.

    And nobody had the cajones to step in and help the old guy?

    Even when, most likely they massively outnumbered the assailant?

    This is why we are losing.

      Too bad this didn’t happen almost anywhere in the free United States. The 60 year old may have just shot his filthy muslim attacker in the face, thereby improving it.
      But anywhere else in the world, the old and infirm are at the mercy (none) of younger, stronger, bullying people who enjoy picking on them.
      I am 81 years old, and a U.S. citizen. My solution would have been … BANG !

    The instantaneous resort to force. The essence of Islam.

    I guess he didn’t get the memo that blacks can’t be racist and everything is the white man’s fault.

    Once this Virus usiness is sorted out, it’s long overdue to sort out this Muslim business in Europe. If the politicos & Officials don’t, then they’ll be deported along with this vermin.

    This is truly disgusting. The moslims creep should have been denied buying anything, kicked from the store and arrested for the attack.

    When I read of things such as this, i pray for God to do to this terrorist exactly what our Creator decides that the creep deserves. Justice is coming swiftly and it will be Divine, not swayed by emotion or stupidity such as is being displayed in so many places and cases.

    I hope the injured guy does not get the virus…or something just as bad or worse…from the violent encounter.

    Disturbing, but no surprise. Was he arrested?

  13. Marigold says

    Italy foolishly and generously flung open its borders for years to anyone who wanted to live there.Now it will reap what it has sown because its Muslim population in particular will be in denial that the virus is as infectious and dangerous as it is according to what we are reading on Jihad watch. Food shortages and unrest is already rearing its ugly head in Italy so things will only get worse especially in the south.Anyone who prays should pray for that poor country.

      I am 81 and I wish I could be “elderly” again. As it is, I am just plain OLD, bordering on archaic !
      OH ! To be Elderly again !

    ”the North African migrant chased the 60-year-old down, grabbed him, and kneed him in the thigh”
    Such wonderfully appreciative guests, these muslims! Make sure you invite one to your next get-together.

    This wicked animal must be immediately booked and thrown out of this country with a kick on his behinds.

    A perfect justification for conceal / carry.
