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

France: Four former directors of Shi’ite centre continued to run it after it was closed for calling for armed jihad

Sep 18, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 8 Comments

France has been making inroads in its fight against jihad terror and Islamic supremacism, including Macron’s recent defense of the “right to blaspheme” with reference to Charlie Hebdo’s republication of Muhammad cartoons, his vow to crack down on “Islamic separatism,” and more.

The task he faces, however, is immense. France has also created its own problem by means of open-door migration. A recent poll showed that at least 46% of Muslims want Sharia to be applied in the country. And this story shows that at least some Muslim leaders in France aren’t concerned in the slightest about what French authorities do, and continue their jihad activity with impunity even after coming under official scrutiny. Macron’s work is cut out for him.

“Four Ex-directors Of France Shiite Centre Arrested,” AFP, September 16, 2020:

Four former directors of a major Shiite Muslim centre in France have been arrested on suspicion of continuing to run the association despite its dissolution over alleged support for armed jihad, a judicial source said Wednesday.

The Zahra Centre in northern France was founded in 2009 by Yahia Gouasmi, a religious figure who has spoken in support of Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

It was shuttered in March last year by the French government for alleged calls to armed jihadism and condoning violence by Hezbollah and other organisations classified as terror groups.

The centre is also alleged to have disseminated hate speech, anti-semitism and to have incited violence.

The judicial source told AFP that four former leaders of the centre were taken into custody on Tuesday, though one has been freed for health reasons.

Prosecutors are investigating the group for “participation in or maintenance of a dissolved association”…..

    Macron is an Islamic puppet, and is in denial if he thinks France’s millions of Muslim’s will take a blind bit of notice of him. I recall when the Notre Dame Cathedral burned to the ground, in April, 2019, and Macron appeared in front of the Cathedral with his boot licker’s, within an hour of the fire starting, to declare the fire was a terrible accident. Its since been revealed that it was arson.

    According to news reports, at least 3 churches a day are set on fire in France, and I would’nt be at all surprised if Macron thought they were all terrible accidents.

      Is there a reference to the finding of arson?

        Fires can occur through accidents, of course–but nothing like on this scale.

      “..3 churches a day are set on fire ?” putting aside for a moment the violent church history in christianity we must come to the conclusion that christians are basically decent human beeings . Have you seen any retaliatory measures by christians towards muslims , have you seen mosques beeing attacked and burned to the ground ? That is not to say that I’m in favour of vendetta but generally we live by do unto others as they do unto you and that’s not the case here , the same thing goes for the rape epidemic of western women , have you ever heard of a muslim woman raped by westerner as a retaliatory measure or vehicular jihad performed on muslims by westerner as retaliation ? We all know the answer to that . That’s why in all confidence I can state that yes christianity has higher moral standards than Islam . I do see christianity as loving and understanding , humane and forgiving whereas I see Islam as intolerant , hateful , deceitful , deceptive and cruel not only towards unbelievers but many times also towards their own .

      Vowed to crack down………….I have been waiting since the first time he vowed not to allow foreign Imams, to have France create its own education of Imams and not to let any foreign countries build more mosques in France. Remember that?
