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

Paris: Muslim who fatally stabbed four cops ran web search on “how to kill infidels” an hour before rampage

Mar 2, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A police employee who fatally stabbed four colleagues in the force’s Paris headquarters ran an online search for ‘how to kill infidels’ an hour before he rampaged through the building, a judicial source said.”

Westerners tend to forget that normative Islam divides the world into two: dar al harb (the House of War) and dar al Islam (the House of Islam). In other words: believers versus infidels, period. Mickael Harpon was “a 45-year-old IT worker who converted to Islam a decade before last October’s attack.” Harpon then started to cause discomfort among his fellow employees: he was showing signs of the danger he posed, but no one took it seriously…..

An internal report released by French authorities after the attack said that, in 2015, two of Harpon’s co-workers had complained about his reaction to the killing by Islamist gunmen of 12 staff at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The complaint never went beyond the boss of Harpon’s department, who concluded that he posed no threat.

Thanks to Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and individuals, the term “Islamophobia” has completely undermined awareness of the very real threat of Islamic jihad. This word has been so well indoctrinated into “infidels” that it has managed to cast terror into Western populations. People are so afraid of being branded “Islamophobic” that they shut down prudent discussion about problematic doctrines of Islam.

“Paris police attacker reportedly ran web search on killing ‘infidels’ before rampage,” Reuters, February 26, 2020:

PARIS — A police employee who fatally stabbed four colleagues in the force’s Paris headquarters ran an online search for “how to kill infidels” an hour before he rampaged through the building, a judicial source said on Wednesday.

Data on the cell phone of Mickael Harpon, a 45-year-old IT worker who converted to Islam a decade before last October’s attack, supported suspicions his motive was terrorism-related, the judicial source and a police source told Reuters.

“His phone contained a lot of data but we have already isolated one internet search carried out an hour before the attack: ‘how to kill infidels’,” the judicial source said, confirming a report in daily Le Parisien.

Harpon was shot dead by police at the scene after he killed three officers and one administrative worker with a kitchen knife.

The investigation into the attack is being led by anti-terrorism prosecutors, which usually indicates a possible terrorism link is the focus of inquiries.

The judicial source said it took several months to break the codes Harpon had used to secure his personal smartphone.

Both sources said the data recovered on it appeared to confirm suspicions Harpon had been radicalized.

The police source, however, cautioned that no evidence had yet been found that Harpon had links to militant group Islamic State, which claimed the attack, or that he had planned it far in advance. The data analysis was still ongoing.

      They all think the alligator will eat the other guy; a guy they don’t care about very much if at all.

      Coming out of WWII there was a sense of community that has slowly been lost as two generations grew up without knowing the cooperation that was required to survive. It has been bread, circuses, and independence their entire lives; fomenting complete disrespect for the sacrifices that saved their lives from tyranny.

      There is no organized response to jihad because “every Western man is an island”, informed by corrupt, self-serving media, which makes for an easy target, unpreparedness; without defense.

      Even Muslims create “a band of brothers”, Sharia Patrols, aggressively forbidding the Kufar while the Kufar walks about thinking his government will protect him. By the time government recognizes reality there will be great harm done as has already been the case in the UK and Sweden. Any society which continues to allow its women to be prey, has no future.

      Motive? If they read this, they will understand the motive.

      These attacks are motivated by Islam’s authentic, canonical doctrine of HATRED directed against dirty Kafirs … a teaching called “AL WALAA WAL BARAA”.

      Baraa (cleansing from kafirs) is the motive and JIHAD (struggling to take power from kafirs) is the method. These teaching come from Allah and cannot be removed from Islam.

      If you do not master the teaching of Al Walaa wal Baraa you will never understand Islam.

    When I do the same Google search I find that their search engine now brings up, mostly, pro Islamic sites that attempt to justify away the eternal meaning of this verse. For instance, at the top of the list is a page from the Islamic site alislam.org and uses the ridiculous argument that Quran 9:5 is a time constrained surah that relates only to past events and participants;

    “Looking at the context of the verses, it becomes obvious that the commandment of this verse only relates to those tribes who continued hostilities against the Muslims even after they had migrated. In particular, reference is made to 5 tribes (‘Banu Khuza’ah, Banu Mudlij, Banu Bakr, Banu Damrah, and Banu Sulaiim) that did not honor the treaties they made with Muslims. It is also important to remember that the preceding verses give these people respite for 4 months to reconsider their behavior and cease hostilities.”

    They pretty much HAVE TO believe something like this. It might carry a little weight if the rest of Islam didn’t corroborate the point (despite Google’s attempts to obscure it).

      Doesn’t surprise me you found so much Taqiyya, DHazard.

      Exactly. Google is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT Fascist and thus PRO-Islam. I tested Google a few days ago and found that when I ran a search for “Crusades” the fifth result was a Pro-Islam Taqiya webpage focused on recruiting more Muslims. Go figure…

    And is anyone investigating the web sites involved, say nothing of holding them and whoever funds them responsible?

  6. tgusa says

    Conducted an online search for “how to kill infidels” an hour before he rampaged through the building.

    The motive behind this investigation is still unclear. The source, however, cautioned that no evidence had yet been found that the investigators have links to effective law enforcement.

  7. Ricardo Jimenez says

    Mar 2, 2020 at 8:17 pm

    Do not forget that they can say whatever they want to cover their backs through the use of taqiya. Which simply means lying to the unfaithful to achieve the ends proposed by Eeslam.

    Paris: Muslim who fatally stabbed four cops ran web search on “how to kill infidels” an hour before rampage
    ……………….

    The Paris police never should have hired this Muslim thug to begin with.

    • Jayell says

      Mar 3, 2020 at 5:41 am

      Interesting that the London Metropolitan Police also hired a muslim thug who was fast-tracked to the rank of Chief Superintendent before being put in jail on a 10-year sentence. The authorities were too scared to deal with him, so he virtually got away blue murder for years. The last we heard, this specimen was enjoying the high life with dubious characters on the edge of the underworld in California.

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 3, 2020 at 10:22 pm

        Jayell, do you know this thug’s name? I’d like to see what he is up to in my state.

    One of the main problems with those that follow the islamideology is that you NEVER know when a docile, friendly follower of the ideology suddenly decides it is his moment to perform his duty to kill, harm, terrorise, rape, torture or enslave those around him who do not follow that evil ideology.

    And worse is that western populations have been brainwashed to the degree that even when they see obvious warning signs (which admittedly is rare) they refuse to believe what they see is reality.

      Every Muslim is a sleeper and we dont know the wakeup code.

  10. Seeking Deliverance says

    Mar 3, 2020 at 4:15 am

    This is why Crusade X should be launched in order to expel Islam from any and all western countries ONCE AGAIN. History repeats itself… only it’s worse now… for nearly half of all western world populations PROTECT ISLAM to include the mentally ill and ignorant LEFTISTS (communists/fascists) and the homosexuals all of whom will be executed once Sharia Law takes full control of their country. What fools our western populations (at least half of them) have become. Truly.

    The boss of Harpon’s department, “who concluded that he posed no threat”, has blood on his hands.

    The free world needs to stop the spread of islam and shari in the same way as a virus that kills as it spreads. If only our politicians and media would respond in the same way they are for the coronavirus, we might rid the world of this hateful ideology.
