Clearly another case of that “mental illness” we keep hearing so much about.
“Hostage Describes Islamist Elements of Armed Bank Robbery,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 30, 2020:
A bank employee who was taken hostage along with five others has revealed that the man who took them prisoner showed signs of Islamic radicalism, preaching and reciting Qur’an verses.
The hostage-taking incident took place earlier this month on the 6th of August in the French city of Le Havre when a 34-year-old man with a firearm entered a bank and took the six employees working hostage.
One of the hostages spoke to broadcaster RTL and explained what happened during the ordeal before the hostages were eventually released unharmed.
“The hostage-taker tells us that we have to sit down and quickly he tells us that if there is one who plays the hero, he’ll kill him,” the witness said, adding: “Then he takes out his knives, his handcraft explosives, the prayer mat and he starts preaching and giving us some Quranic verses.”
“At that moment I told myself that if a hostage-taking that starts like this, it doesn’t smell good. He tells us about his demands and tells us that all this will end at four o’clock in the morning, after the last prayer,” the witness said.
According to the bank employee, the radical Muslim told him that he would “finish in style” when killing the final hostage and that hostage would be him.
It was later revealed after the hostage-taker was taken into custody by police, that his gun was actually a starter pistol and the bombs he had threatened the employees with were firecrackers and bottles containing alcohol.
The man is also well-known to police and has been convicted of four crimes in the last ten years, and has also previously taken people hostage at a bank in Paris in 2013. In his previous hostage-taking, the man was armed with a real pistol and a tear gas canister….
Dude says
Well, of course you have to be mentally ill to believe that God has authorized you to steal, murder, rape and enslave on His behalf.
Don’t worry, it’s just par for the course.

Well known to the police, convicted of four crimes, previously taken people hostage with a real gun and yet he still walks the streets of Le Havre. Happy islam frogs.

Peter Buckley says
I wonder if he’d heard about this:

Maybe, Peter–but I don’t think Jihadists need a special occasion to terrorize innocent people.

As per Quran 8:12

“…I don’t think Jihadists need a special occasion to terrorize innocent people.”
If they don’t have a “special occasion”, they’ll just make one up…

Grimly true.

@Peter Buckley,
This press article is correct. But at present there is no evidence this man, well known to police, heard about Charlie Hebdo’s project.

You can be a successful terrorist and never kill a soul.
Francis Weber says
Just like Muhammad the fat white dwarf wasn’t capable but he got he convinced others to do his bidding!

France: Muslim with explosives robs bank, takes hostages, starts preaching and reciting Qur’an
…………………….
More “cultural enrichment”. Just glad the victims survived this time.
David says
French people, dont you think you have enough diverse beings, already.
Giacomo Latta says
I presume the bank was an incidental choice of venue and that the perp wasn’t planning to rob it, kill himself then take the booty with him.
”It was later revealed after the hostage-taker was taken into custody by police, that his gun was actually a starter pistol and the bombs he had threatened the employees with were firecrackers and bottles containing alcohol.”
Note to future hostages. Please check your hostage-taker’s weapons. In this case he should have left with exploded firecrackers in his nostrils and his ears along with a couple of bottles of alcohol stuck up his arse.

One to the head is all it takes.

I’ll never be able to get the video of armed French police running from unarmed moslems out of my mind.

We’ve seen British, German, and Swedish police do the same. Obviously deliberate policy.

The islamic/muslim invasion at its best. Just keep letting them in and things will continue to get worse.
