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

France: Head of human resources at Charlie Hebdo flees home after ‘precise and detailed’ death threats

Sep 24, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 20 Comments

The magazine released a statement explaining its motives for republishing the cartoons of Muhammad. At one point, it asked the valid question:

Do we want to live in a country that prides itself on being a great free and modern democracy, and which, at the same time, gives up on asserting its deepest convictions? For our part, it is out of the question. Except to live in another country, another regime, another world.

Given political correctness and the selling-out of free societies in the West by Leftists, the “woke,” and political panderers, Western countries are fast becoming unrecognizable, as though their citizens were “in another country, another regime and another world.” As the West continues to kowtow to Muslims and accept the “Islamophobia” canard, freedoms that we all once took for granted (and that are already under attack) will  increasingly become a thing of the past. As it stands currently, the vast majority of Westerners will be in real physical danger if they mock Muhammad. It is slowly being accepted by the mainstream that if one deliberately provokes Islam, one deserves threats and personal injury, whereas provoking any other faith (which has been done repeatedly through the decades) draws mild disapproval at best, and applause for one’s “courage” at worst. No other religion presents the threat to freedom that Islam, ironically called “the religion of peace,” presents.

Marika Bret stated: “I had 10 minutes to do my business and leave my home, 10 minutes to give up part of my existence … I won’t be coming home.”

Westerners would do well to understand that it isn’t as simple as “Well, don’t provoke Islam.” The fact that untold multitudes of people who “blasphemed” Islam have been brutalized or killed demonstrates an important aspect of normative Islam, and of the threat that it poses, as does 1,400 years of human rights abuses and conquest. Only when Islam can be insulted like any other religion without fear of violence or threats of violence can it be regarded as genuinely peaceful. Islam does not have the right in any Western country to be protected from insult any more than any other religion does, unless of course Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. are willing to concede to Islam’s self-proclaimed superiority.

“Charlie Hebdo head of HR forced to flee her home after French mag republishes Mohammed cartoons,” by Phil Shiver, The Blaze, September 22, 2020:

The head of human resources at Charlie Hebdo — the French satirical magazine targeted in a deadly radical Islamic terror attack in January 2015 — has been forced to flee her home because of death threats.

What are the details?

BBC News reported Tuesday that Marika Bret told a French newspaper that her security guards received the “precise and detailed threats” last week.

The threats came amid the long-awaited trial of 14 people accused of assisting the two gunmen, brothers Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, in their attack on the magazine’s offices, which left 12 dead and 11 injured.

The two gunmen were killed by French police in a shootout two days later, but the attack sparked a string of subsequent jihadist attacks across France.

As the trial began, Charlie Hebdo decided to republish the cartoons of Muslim prophet Mohammed that served as the motive for the original attack.

“Since the start of the trial and with the republication of the cartoons, we have received all kinds of horrors, including threats from al-Qaeda and calls to finish the work of the [gunmen from the 2015 attack],” Bret said.

She reportedly blamed “a level of hallucinatory hatred around Charlie Hebdo” for the recent threats.

Speaking with Le Point Magazine, Bret recalled, “I had 10 minutes to do my business and leave my home, 10 minutes to give up part of my existence … I won’t be coming home.”

What else?

Earlier this month, the magazine posted an explanation for republishing the cartoons that lampoon Islam and its principal human figure.

In the explanation, the magazine suggest that the drawings belong to history and argue it would be “inadmissible for [them] to approach this trial without communicating [the drawings] to readers and citizens.”

To not republish the caricatures would amount to “political or journalistic cowardice,” the explanation read.

Here is the full statement (translated into English using Google translation feature):…..

    Surely the death threats cannot be coming from any Muslim’s, as they and the leftist’s, keep telling us on a daily basis, that Islam is the religion of peace.

    Is it necessary to insult the firgureheads of any religion? Do we draw caricatures of the Buddha or Jesus Christ? We might not agree with their devotees but why insult them? Mohammedans are loathed and despised everywhere but to print provocative pictures of Mohammed is bound to invoke fury in the bearded, brainwashed fanatical adherents of this disgusting sect. Why not devote space to the realities of, barbaric halal butcheries? They have no place in a civilised country. Drawing cartoons of the mythical Mo serves no purpose.

      Jesus was provocative.
      He called the Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites and whited sepulchres. He drove out the money changers from the temple with a whip, knocking over their tables and calling them “a den of thieves”.

      David Wood draws attention to Jesus’s mockery, and promises muslims further “savage mockery” of “history’s most obvious false prophet”. “It’s what I do”, he says.

      What are you talking about? Satirical films such as “The Life of Brian” and others have been made on Christianity and how about putting a crucifix into a jar of urine. At no time have Christians attempted to slaughter the people who participated in any of these and many more attacks on Christianity. I have never read where anyone has been attacked for reading the “Bible” aloud or printed excerpts whereas one is ostracized, ridiculed or even in many incidents killed for reading the un-holy Qur’an by non-Muslims in public or reciting authorized selections of Hadith. Can anyone imagine the consequences of desecrating mosque in say, Lahore, N’Djamena or Khartoum like the desecration of churches and cathedrals throughout Europe as well as that done by the Erdogan government? Of course not, that would be acts worthy of slaughter by Muslims.

      ………………………

      Sylvia, this is done *all the time*–including by Charlie Hebdo. I did a quick on-line search and found eight of their cartoon caricatures of Jesus, and I lost count of the ones poking fun at Christians in general, including the Pope. Note that Christians, Buddhists, and Jews are not massacring cartoonists over this.

      People may not like these cartoons, and many of them are indeed crude. But it is only Islam that calls for the murder of critics of their religious leader.

      More:

      We might not agree with their devotees but why insult them? Mohammedans are loathed and despised everywhere but to print provocative pictures of Mohammed is bound to invoke fury in the bearded, brainwashed fanatical adherents of this disgusting sect.
      ………………………

      Note that cartoons criticizing Muhammed for pedophilia, slavery, rape, and mass murder are considered insulting. My Mohammed cartoons condemn just these horrors. Does that mean that we have to keep silent about these atrocities?

      Then, do you *really* believe that so long as we refrain from drawing cartoons that Muslims will be fine with other criticisms of the horrors of Islam? Not so. Robert Spencer is not a cartoonist; yet he is inundated with constant death threats for saying anything critical of Islam.

      Are you going to stand by here and blame the victims of Jihad terror?

      More:

      Why not devote space to the realities of, barbaric halal butcheries? They have no place in a civilised country. Drawing cartoons of the mythical Mo serves no purpose.
      ………………………

      Sylvia, your idea that we can only speak out against the barbarism of Halal slaughter if we keep quite about the other horrors of Islam is *quite* mistaken. We can do both. In fact, Jihad Watch does just this all the time. Here are just a couple of such stories:

      “Anne Marie Waters Moment: Islam’s Cruel Animal Slaughter in the U.K.”

      Charlie Hebdo is an equal opportunity insulter. It regularly has cartoons of Jesus , Yahweh, and other religious figures. It has been taken to court umpteen times by integrist Catholics and every time Charlie won. Religious satire is a very strong French tradition. Blasphemy is a right here , paid for in blood by past French men and women. We are not going to let a bunch of fanatics of another religion tell us what we cannot say or draw. Not one single American newspaper published the Danish cartoons in 2006. Cowards the lot of them .If every newspaper in the western world had published them there would have been no Charle Hebdo massacre. Stephane Charbonnier said he would rather die on his feet than live on his knees. Most of the western press are living on their knees with their constant pandering to Islam.

    “The prophet can neither read nor write”
    koran 7:157

    1]And he couldn’t sing or dance either.In fact ,at the engagement party to Aisha it was pretty obvious he had two left feet.Ahmed laughed and said “allah has two right hands,muhammed has two left feet”.
    muhammed was useless at dancing.Aisha was fantastic!
    And she was only six years old.

    2]muhammed was useless at maths.One day the teacher showed him a triangle and said ‘ a triangle has three
    sides’ but muhammed stood up and said ‘Say not ‘three’ cease!It is better for you”{koran 4:171}
    So that was the end of that.
    Aisha had to do the sums because muhammed couldn’t understand the concept of multiplication.
    She had to teach the great ‘prophet’.Imagine that:having to teach a middle aged ‘prophet’.
    And she was only six years old.

    3]Sports?Forget it!muhammed always came last in a relay race.Aisha always beat him.
    And she was only six years old {although a fully grown woman in islamic ‘culture’}

    4]allah once drew an unflattering cartoon of muhammed {with stink lines and all }and posted it on a wall near mecca.
    The muslims were enraged but then allah appeared as a pig and said ‘what are you going to do about it?”
    So they shouted ‘allahu akbar,allahu akbar’ and tried to kill the pig but allah sent fire down and wiped them all out.And that is an islamically true story and is true {like the erroneous koran is true}

    {muslims:wait..are these insults to muhammed?What is all this going on here yakhi?}

    Those Charlie Hebdo jihad murders and not those jihadist death threats are a blatant reminder that the Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter France along with the other countries of Western Europe with result in them not only being ungrateful but even worse yet many of those Muslim migrants becoming so very arrogant to the point that they became criminals .

    As in some of them engaged in rioting and even rapes of the European girls and women. In addition to this vile brutal behavior by the heinous Muslim who were kindly permitted to enter the nations of Europe to live, As the countries of ,for example France, Germany Sweden, Denmark etc.

    This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims. This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY.

    One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]

    Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.

    Tommy Robinson’s family have been driven out of their home by credible and real arson threats from muslims.

    Police in Sweden have announced they will not issue any more permits for demonstrations that may result in riotous behaviour by muslims. They have thus given in to the Hecklers’ Veto, and crushed free speech.

    London police at Speakers’ Corner (the place of Free Speech established by Act of Parliament) have removed Hatun Tash (with her Koran that has holes in it) because the muslim crowd was becoming too aggressive.

    Free speech is being driven back, and lost, incident by incident. Governments are silent.

    Those vicious and murderous jihadists who is a Islamic terrorist shooting in Paris France using the Charlie Hebdo cartoons as an excuse to engage in Muslim terrorism was not and is not the first nor will he be the last Muslim terrorists to inflect deadly Islamic violence on the people of Europe in a European nation.

    Many jihadists have the Islamic agenda and quest to conquer the nations of the West for Islam. Either “by hook or by crook” as in by engaging in the stealth jihad or in the violent and deadly “jihad of the sword” As seen in this recent jihad attack in Germany which harmed twelve people. Likewise part of all this in is by the Muslim infiltration of the Western countries which is being accomplished by the great number of Muslim migrants who are entering the Western nations.

    As a former Muslim had revealed in his book when he wrote that “there has been large –scale immigration into the West, from Islamic nations…of Muslims who are implacably hostile to the West, have no desire to learn why the West became so rich and tolerant , and certainly have no desire to assimilate. They feel no gratitude of allegiance to their Western host nations; their only obligations are to fellow Muslims.”
    The author further clarifies by adding. “The mere presence of so many Muslims in the West had affected the domestic and international behavior of governments, whose foreign policy is dominated by fear of offending their Muslim population ready to riot on the slightest pretext. Those unassimilated Muslims are committed to introducing Islamic laws in the West. , and they are able to do so cleverly exploiting the freedoms created over the centuries by the infidels.” [1]

    As for that above statement that the “Muslim population [is] ready to riot on the slightest pretext…” This is valid evidence that the old saying is true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”

    On this very important subject another scholar in his book informs the reader that “Islamic involvement in the political process is much more advanced in Europe than in the United States.” and he further makes it known that “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategists who are seeking world dominance.” [2]

    This is rude reminder that in the different nations of Europe as a whole 91% of the victims of Islamic violence ,as in many cases deadly Islamic violence .The jihadists use firearms as well as using bombs .Even using themselves as human bombs time bombs ,just waiting to go off in the many cities of Europe . It only takes a few out of many to inflect much murderous harm. Those jihadists engaging in Islamic suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for a large part, the outcome the extreme brainwashing that is performed in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrasas. In those jihad mind control places students are thoroughly indoctrinated into the jihadist mindset of committing murderous bombing attacks in the jihad for the advancement of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran instructs in 9:111. , for example, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” Therefore, those who come out of those Quran based mind programming centers .mosque and madrasas, are so terribly harmed and damaged that they are literally, as it has be rightfully called, “dangerous to self and others.” This results in jihad suicide /homicide attack in which those jihadists who commit such murderous actions are so very deluded that they think of that jihad mass murders as “martyrdom operations.” This is Islamic delusion of the most heinous and malicious kind.

    This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”

    In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above ,this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.

    At some point one of our politicians is going to have to make a decision: whether our continent is to remain Judeo-Christian or moslem. It’s that simple. There may be decades of violent struggle but our surrender will be the end of the most successful civilisation the world has known.
