French authorities: Muslim who killed man for Muhammad cartoons may not be ‘radicalized,’ may have ‘another motive’

Oct 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 45 Comments

The man screamed “Allahu akbar” and beheaded his victim in accord with Qur’an 47:4. The victim had received death threats for days before the murder, all in connection with his showing Muhammad cartoons to his class. The willful ignorance here is absolutely staggering.

“Teacher beheaded in Paris suburb after showing cartoons of Prophet Mohammed to class,” by David Chazan, Telegraph, October 16, 2020 (thanks to Darcy):

A history teacher who showed his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in class was beheaded near his school in a Paris suburb on Friday by a suspected Islamist terrorist who shouted “Allahu Akbar”, police said.

Alerted by local residents, police confronted and shot dead a man armed with a kitchen knife and an air gun who refused to drop his weapons and surrender, and threatened them.

Minutes later, officers found the body of 47-year-old Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher.

A bomb disposal unit was called in to check whether the presumed assailant was wearing a suicide vest or belt.

Witnesses told police they heard the assailant shouting “Allahu Akbar” [‘God is the greatest’ in Arabic], police sources said….

The investigation is being directed by specialised anti-terrorism prosecutors.

“There are still questions about whether the killer was radicalised or whether there might have been another motive, but the investigation will clarify this and the working hypothesis is terrorism,” the source said.

An investigation has been launched into “murder in relation to a terrorist group” and “membership of a criminal terrorist group”.

The presumed killer, a Moscow-born ethnic Chechen, was not on France’s terror watch list but was known to police for petty crime….

Xavier Bertrand, centre-Right president of the Hauts-de-France region, said: “Islamist barbarity has taken aim at one of the symbols of the Republic: school. The terrorists want to shut us up, to bring us to our knees. They should know that we will not bend, they will never forbid us to read, write, draw, think, teach.”

Marine Le Pen of the far-Right National Rally, said: “A teacher beheaded for showing Charlie Hebdo caricatures. We are in France with this level of unbearable barbarity. Islamism is waging war on us: it is by force that we must drive them out of our country.”…

      The entire Western world needs to act quickly. We need to un-do the suicidal mistake of allowing Muslims to immigrate to our countries. The West must be made Islam-free — or, sooner or later, it will all be lost to the Demographic Jihad.

        You needn’t get excited because nobody is going to “act quickly”.
        One thing has become clear, little is going to change. Moslems are still migrating into Europe and the growing jihadist threat is simply met with fine words repeated after every attack, which mean nothing at all.
        The inevitable gradual prognosis for a sick Europe is this:
        Either there will be guerrilla uprisings against Islamic enclaves, leading to a Civil War. Or there will be a psychological collapse of European culture and a submission to Islamic domination.

      BBC – “Union of French Muslim Democrats” spokeperson on the Muslim ritual beheading

      “the French muslim community is concerned because it might increase Islamophobia “

      and of course : ” it has nothing to do with our faith “

      and then : it is not the first time some disoriented … people with mental issues kill in the name of Islam and that the Muslim community is held responsible for that

      if the French intelligence has failed in preventing the attack it is not our fault

        The female muslim “spokesperson”, thoughtfully omitting to wear a hijab, says, at 2.11,
        “And then we would like to be treated like everyone else”. What a lie. Everyone else is treated to satirical cartoons and freedom of speech. They are part of democracy, you know, that man-made anathema that muslims are instructed to hate and reject.

        “it has nothing to do with our faith“.
        Another lie. We have heard that before. Cue Kouachi, one of the Charlie Hebdo killers:
        “If someone offends the Prophet no problem, we can kill him”.

        The Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” lists, under “Acts that entail leaving Islam” (o8.7), “to revile Allah or his messenger’ (o8.7(4)). The penalty is death. The penalty can be carried out, vigilante style, by anyone without blame or legal consequence “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” (o8.4).

        It has everything to do with her faith, Islam.

        The muslim community IS responsible for harbouring, instructing, and endorsing Sharia-compliant vigilante killers.

    The reverse situation is barely imaginable; a beloved madrassah teacher was beheaded by a man screaming “praise God almighty!”. The madrassah teacher had purportedly suggested that some Christians believe Jesus, Allah and the Holy Spirit are a trinity. Now imams are looking over their shoulder and bemoan the days when hating Christians and it’s White adherents was done without a second thought.

    “The investigation is being directed by specialist anti-terrorism prosecutors.”

    Do these prosecutors know that Mohammed himself said, “I have been made victorious with terror?” {Bukhari Hadith 4.52.220} And have they actually read the Koran?

    Doubt it. Highly. The Great Farce continues, this time in France, but also in so many other Western nations and most certainly at the individual level with the utterly clueless Joe Biden.

    France 24, the French state news medium, confirmes:
    1) after the free speech lessons a muslim father of one of the pupils went on internet to tell that the free speech teacher Paty was spreading pornography about the Islam prophet, and the muslim father gave the address of the school and the name of the teacher.
    2) The murderer, being very religious, reacted on the internet message.
    3) After the beheading of the teacher, the killer left a message, calling the French President Macron “the leader of the infidels.”

    Under colonial rule locals could practice their own laws.
    Since France is colonized by Islam, the French can practice their own laws, but will also have to accept the laws of the Islam colonizers. Some 1400 years of iIslam history made that very clear.

      I doubt the following facts will find their way into your skull but France is French, it is occupied by the French, it is governed by the French, it has not been colonized by anyone except the French. Islamic ”locals” have no status except as guests should they decide not to assimilate. Some1400 years of French history has made that very clear.

    “Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
