Italy: Muslim migrant, naturalized Italian citizen, murders Italian for being “white” and “happy”

Jul 7, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“I looked at him and I was sure he was Italian. I wanted to kill a guy like me, take away all the promises he had, children, remove him from his friends and relatives.”

Why did Said Mechaout become a naturalized citizen in the first place? What are the chances that, after he serves a few years of his sentence and is released, that he will become a loyal, stable, productive member of Italian society? And what is the ultimate basis for his hatred for Italians in the first place? Have investigators looked into that? Or are they content with the racial angle (which in itself sheds further light on why jihadis and Marxist race-agitation groups work so well together).

“Migrant Who Killed Italian for Being ‘White’ and ‘Happy’ Gets 30 Years in Prison,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 5, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Moroccan-born Said Mechaout has been sentenced to a maximum 30 years behind bars over a year after he murdered Italian man Stefano Leo in Turin because he was “white” and “happy”.

The murder took place on February 23rd on the banks of the river Po in Turin but it wasn’t until around a month later that 27-year-old Mechaout, a naturalised Italian citizen born in Morocco, confessed to the killing.

Italian prosecutors Ciro Santoriello and Enzo Bucarelli both pushed for the maximum sentence of 30 years in the case after remarking that Mechaout showed little to no remorse following the murder.

Mariagrazia Chiri, the mother of Stefano Leo, was also present at the sentencing and commented “We have always been confident. And the sentence gives us that reason. Justice has run its course,” Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reports.

Basilio Foti, the lawyer for Mechaout, said that he expected the sentenced to be reduced on appeal, however, noting that Mechaout came forward himself and confessed to the crime.

The confession, which took place over a month after the murder, saw the Moroccan migrant explain to the police that he killed Leo simply because he was white looked “happy”.

“I hit a white, based on the obvious fact that a young Italian would have caused a sensation,” he allegedly told police.

“I looked at him and I was sure he was Italian. I wanted to kill a guy like me, take away all the promises he had, children, remove him from his friends and relatives.”…

    keep in mind the Koran doesn’t allow one or anyone to be happy

      That is why they despise non Muslims because they are free and are able to be happy. They want everybody to be miserable like they are – or dead

        I guess, william, misery loves company…

          Misery doesn’t love company…it insists upon it.

          There is no joy in Islam.

          There are those who, due to circumstances beyond their control, are miserable–not all of these people want others to be miserable, too.

          But in cases where someone has *chosen* to miserable, wanting to impose this on others is *very* common.

      @Mike. The Koran allows one or anyone to be overjoyed when he kills an “unbeliever”: anyone who has other faith than Islam. That makes Muslims and Islam too dangerous for humanity. Their place is not in Italy or any other Western country. It is irresponsible to admit them as refugees. Let them rot in places where Allah is king.

    “”Ayatollah Khomeini famously proclaimed: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” His own son said he had seen Khomeini laugh only once. It happened when Oriana Fallaci, the celebrated Italian journalist, was interviewing him, and asked him about the chador, the full-body garment that Iranian women were forced to wear in the new Islamic Republic. In fact, she had to wear one for the interview.

    “How do you swim in a chador?” Fallaci asked. “Our customs are none of your business. If you do not like Islamic dress, you are not obliged to wear it,” Khomeini replied. “That’s very kind of you, Imam. And since you said so, I’m going to take off this stupid, medieval rag right now.” She removed her chador. The interview was called off.””

      Yes–there is no happiness in Islam.

      And Oriana Fallaci was a genuine heroine!

    Fair enough. It’s open season on happy people.

    No wonder a lot of devout mudslimes have a twisted mind. Being deprived of basic human emotions, with the exception of anger, will twist any human brain.
    And of course this is considered to be a “good thing” within Islam.
    Being subjected to a belief system that doesn’t allow humor, fun, laughter, love, compassion is incomprehensible. And it must be brought to an end.

    Hell’s inhabitants are all miserable. People influenced by demons are all miserable. There are no happy Satanists or Wiccans. If hateful people like this were dealt with as they should be, the world would be a much safer place, but if governments are pro-Islam, why not.

    • Keith O says

      Jul 8, 2020 at 3:43 am

      Kate, I have to disagree with you about there being no happy Wiccans.
      I personally know quite a few Wicanns and they are very happy, calm, peaceful people.
      Wiccans are like us Pagans, they are in the service of mother earth and find deep joy and happiness in all of nature. Oh, and they don’t believe in Satan either.

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 8, 2020 at 9:43 pm

        I know a few happy Wiccans as well.

    ………………..

    This poor victim–how many more will there be like him, in Italy and the rest of the West?

    God, I hate Islam.

      It’s much worse than that–this is what Islam teaches Muslims to do.

      • mortimer says

        Jul 8, 2020 at 7:23 am

        Islam’s doctrine called GHEIRA encourages Muslims to hate kafirs for the sake of Allah, not because the kafir has committed a wrong-doing, but just because the kafir exists.

        mkcowan thinks he is insane. I believe the killer is immersed in Islamic teachings.

        IT’S THE IDEOLOGY that does this to people.

        He thought that killing a kafir would guarantee paradise.

        • gravenimage says

          Jul 8, 2020 at 9:53 pm

          Thank you, Mortimer. Gheira is another concept I was not familiar with.

          Islam’s terms for hating Infidels are as varied as Inuit terms for snow…

    Jul 8, 2020 at 7:25 am

    “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them) – K.8.60

    That is an eternal command from Allah. It is the only motive Muslims need to kill kafirs.

    Jul 8, 2020 at 10:41 am

    We need to execute these nuts so that they don’t breed and produce more crazies. Islam encourages its followers to commit these acts against infidels as a religious act that Allah will bless them for.
