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

France: Nine jihad terror investigations launched during coronavirus lockdown

Apr 24, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

There remains a heightened threat of jihad activity in France and elsewhere, despite the coronavirus. Although the Islamic State warned its affiliates to avoid Europe during coronavirus, it also asked Allah to “increase coronavirus torment” of infidels. Jihadists are obeying the call to contribute to this torment. “Nicolas Lerner, the head of France’s General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), warned that the terror threat posed by radical Islamic extremism has remained high even during the national lockdown.”

This has prompted French investigators to open “at least nine preliminary terrorism investigations since the start of the coronavirus lockdown.”

Most of the threat stems from France’s reckless immigration policy, as well as its tolerance of Salafist preachers and jihad propaganda that “continues to be generated, disseminated, and shared on social networks.”

“France Opens Nine Terrorism Investigations During Coronavirus Lockdown,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 22, 2020:

French investigators have opened at least nine preliminary terrorism investigations since the start of the coronavirus lockdown and warn that radical Islamic terrorism is still a significant threat.

The French national anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office (Pnat) has been investigating several cases since the start of the lockdown measures in mid-March, including allegations of plots by French jihadists thought to have died fighting in Iraq and Syria for radical Islamist groups.

“Border control makes it difficult to enter France. But there are concerns about some individuals who could return to take action, not to mention attacks as sophisticated as those of November 13th,” a magistrate told the newspaper, Le Parisien, referencing the 2015 Bataclan massacre.

Nicolas Lerner, the head of France’s General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), warned that the terror threat posed by radical Islamic extremism has remained high even during the national lockdown.

“It remains at its previous level. In particular, jihadist propaganda continues to be generated, disseminated, and shared on social networks,” he said.

The DGSI and other police agencies have visited the homes of at least three known Islamic extremists between the first day of the coronavirus lockdown and April 15th. The agencies placed another 21 radicalised Islamists under surveillance.

The nine terrorism investigations begun since the start of the lockdown include the terrorist attack conducted by Sudanese asylum seeker Abdallah Ahmed-Osman, who went on a knife rampage in Romans-sur-Isère earlier this month, killing two people.

Two other migrants were also arrested in the wake of the terrorist attack, both of whom were Sudanese nationals….

    People who want to kill you aren’t going to start loving you just because there is an epidemic that threatens both you and them. Their ideology forbids them to love you, no matter what the circumstances, and commands them to wish for and work for your destruction..

      There is only one thing that Islam permits of Infidels and Kifir, and that is Death. When is this Political Correct Society going to stop playing with Humanity and end Islam all together. They have a choice, we can be merciful and allow them to disavow any action that a self proclaimed Prophet had done and gave permission to do to others that are not of their Sect, Ore we can Ban the Quran in any Civilized Society to disregard all Muhammad’s writings which he has not written. It was all written of men not Allah and it was three Hundred years after a Jewish Woman Poisoned him. His followers had a strategy to get power from false Prophets that had no followed the writings of God on stone. They disavowed any Truth or Facts of the Living God and Jesus. They are followers of Satan by Clerics and Mullahs who are not reading any scripture that was of God O’Mighty. Mullahs and the Clerics of Islam had corrupted any truth and wisdom form any God but have all written commands of MEN. This is the only way that man will survive. They want to kill, Maim, harm, and destroy mankind. The Muslims of Muhammad are following a dead religion that was made into a War machine, not having any Mercy towards any other living being. Look at all the areas in America with high populations with high death rates from COVID-19. They are of high populations of Muslims that are not following any Virus safeguards to eradicate the virus that was also of man’s creation, in the hope of infecting all people around them in a Virus Jihad for a god of hate. Are we to be in lockdown while animals of Muhammad play the four horsemen? The grim Reaper is the Islamic man they call Muhammad and has been traveling for 1700 years throughout the world..This is the FACT that a merciful people are allowing this vile so-called religion which is in reality a war machine at war with God’s Creation. I did the research and my figures are correct. New York, New Jersey, California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida are the Muslim hotspots of the outbreak. And form those places are hubs of travel from all over the world. This is how it spread so fast, if they would have just closed all international Travel in the start and close all the borders for 30 days, the world would have been making it through with minimal damage. This was a Political stunt to take down the worlds economy within six months to create a New World Order.
      Having Mercy for a few people who were infected was a dangerous way to protect the whole of humanity. Every war in the world through History has not been able to shut down the whole world in Five months, but a so-called COVID-19 virus did with less than what the flu has ever done or the plagues ever accomplished and killed way less. The NWO has completed the first step, and the second step is getting the People of the world to lock themselves up in their mind control experiment. now they are starting up the third and final step to track every man woman and child with a Vaccine that was not a cure for any virus and insert chips and Toxic microscopic metals and more Toxic substances into your bloodstream the will be activated by High frequencies from 4G and 5G. Only 5G will be able to disrupt the Oxygen exchange in the blood corpuscles and cause more of the virus at any time they please. It may even keep this virus going until their population is down to 500 million as the Georgia Guidestones state in the first Commandment of MAN inscripted on the Monument. No, this is clearly a Political Crisis to take the Freedoms away from the world. They want to be god’s unto themselves. They are removing History, Religions, and Freedom. This Generation are the lab rats of the future, do you want slavery to be implemented all over again? Well, they have us all under arrest at our own design, without one shot from a gun and will succeed if we don’t change their plans by force. Push back, this is your God given right to live as free men, live as cattle and die under the foot of Tierney. If this virus kills us at least we had a choice of how to die with dignity, and God will provide our Freedom.

        Sounds as though Sam is big on spreading this disease. He doesn’t say how this will defend against “Tierney”. (Gene Tierney, perhaps?)

        I don’t see dying needlessly as dying with dignity.

    DIDN’T YOU KNOW? Most Westerners are unaware that the word ‘Frank’ is synonymous for many Arabs with ‘Crusader’. The French are considered the most guilty of all ‘Crusaders’, hence the calls of ISIS to put France at the top of the list for jihad attacks.

    Islam disagrees with all three ideals in France’s motto: 1) Islam hates liberty 2) Islam promotes discrimination, misogyny and supremacism instead of equality 3) Islam promotes comradeship between Muslims, but enmity and hostility is projected against kafirs … not fraternity

      Bonjour,

      Very true, around 500 AD, since the baptism of Clovis one, the Franks mixed with the Gallo-Romans. In fact Charles Martel, Charles the great and the “Frankish” crusaders originally from France, were all French.
      Islam disagrees with the US motto too “In God We Trust”. Correct me if I am wrong but I understand “In Truth/Fairness We Trust”. Islam is a hypocritical ideology https://youtu.be/AQVAwR3DUs8.

    Greetings:

    For the last several years, I’ve been getting some of my TV news from France24 English-language broadcasts particularly its “The Debate” segment moderated by M. François Picard. On Fridays, it switches to a “The World This Week” segment. For about 40 minutes this morning, they discussed almost all things COVID except any uprisings in France’s restive suburbs. Interestingly, one panelist was from Sweden which also has no problems worthy of note in that regard.

    Three French cops with automatic weapons. Guess which one has the bullet.

      Greetings, Undaunted:

      And here I was thinking that it was mandatory to have a female (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) in all police action videos.

        Yeah, 11B40, it’s got to be the law in some places.

        Hey, God loves the US Infantry, queen of battle. And I love the Infantry as well. You still in?
