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

UK: Muslim writer condemns ‘French police’s brutal senseless murder of the Muslim’ who beheaded man on street

Oct 18, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 36 Comments

Now he says he was being “sarcastic.” All right. Just imagine, however, what the outcry would be if a foe of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women actually justified the killing of one of those largely fictional “far right” terrorists. Siding with jihadis and even jihad murderers, however, is increasingly acceptable among the Western intelligentsia. Dana Nawzar Jaf is unlikely to suffer any consequences for this endorsement of the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy other than a few angry tweets.

Note also how he drags the Islamic supremacists’ ever-present bogeymen, the Jews, into this. His argument essentially boils down to saying that students should not be exposed to material they find offensive. That’s bad enough in itself, as all students should be challenged to consider their assumptions and become able to defend them, or allowed to change their views if they discover what they held was false. But the Holocaust denial analogy breaks down on the fact that Holocaust denial is a monstrous falsehood, while Muhammad cartoons are neither true or false, but expressions of the freedom of expression, which is the foundation of any free society. There is nothing wrong, either, with students learning in school why Holocaust denial is false, with all the evidence presented, just as they should also learn why the freedom of speech is so important.

“Fury as New Statesman writer condemns ‘brutal police murder’ of Islamist terrorist who beheaded teacher outside French school,” by Abul Taher, Mail On Sunday, October 18, 2020:

A British-based writer sparked outrage last night by condemning French police for shooting dead the armed Islamist terrorist who beheaded teacher Samuel Paty.

Dana Nawzar Jaf – a former Chevening Scholar at Durham University – questioned the police’s decision to kill Chechen fanatic Aboulakh Anzorov, fearing the terrorist would attack them or others.

Mr Jaf, who describes himself as a Kurdish activist, had taken to Twitter, posting: ‘I fully condemn French police’s brutal senseless murder of the Muslim suspect last night.

‘Macron and his security apparatus should explain to the public what was the need for the use of the disproportionate force against someone suspected of a knife crime. France is in crisis.’

Mr Jaf – an occasional writer for the Left-leaning New Statesman magazine, did not condemn the beheading itself….

Last night, Mr Jaf, who is believed to have arrived in Britain as an exchange student from Iraq in 2009, said: ‘That was not meant to be a factual statement about the police. It’s meant to be a sarcastic comment towards Macron who is the number one fueller of terrorism.’

Talk about the upside down world of brain dead Muslims! And the West stupidly falls for it!! Some times one wonders who is brain dead here??

        The muslim apologist says ‘disproportionate force” was used against the demonic muslim terrorist.

        And like…that BEHEADING of the innocent teacher..isn’t ‘Disproportionate force’?

        Is not the killing of the poor defensless unarmed teacher ‘a brutal senseless murder’?

        The islamic mind is not known for being able to fathom Irony or Logic:centuries of islamic savagery and primitive backwardness following their demonic god al lah{the ‘BEST of deceivers’ koran 3:54}their child -raping self confessed false prophet muhammed{al tabari 6:111}their plagiarized holey book has seen to that.

        And the islamic chechen savage ran at the police:He deserved to be taken out!
        He was like a diseased animal like many of his apologists and defenders of the murder and mayhem cult that is islam.

        And this muslim is yet another one of these ‘scholars’ in one of those Lefty-Globalist sponsored fields of{I could have guessed this I promise you]

        ‘Sustainability,Culture and Development’ from Durham university.

        {What next from the world of Academia?

          Fair enough.
          I was thinking more of a rabid dog..
          A rabid dog HAS to be put down if it represents a threat to anybody.
          And the chechen thug ran at the police officers.
          Now what is going to happen when an armed thug tries to attack a police officer with murderous intent?Using non-lethal methods won’t work.You cannot reason with him.
          So the police officer HAS to use force.It is lawful to do so.
          If a rabid dog tried to attack the police officer,the dog would have to be killed.

      Yep. The nice people of western cultures were decieved and the people who spoke out were called racist….and here we are a country loaded with mosques who teach the doctrine to be offended and can decide to proactively shut borders to this ideaology and practice and since it betrays the idea of religion.

    I respect the Quran. I possess one and find out how dangerous the ideology is when the aim is to enslave or suppress non Muslims if they have the opportunity. Even moderates result in one step forward and two step backwards. Those who are Islamic supremacists should be deported in any Muslim country since there is just one Umma.

      The horrifically hateful quran *should* be taken seriously by non-muslims – for it is taken seriously by devout muslims.

      In other words, one needs to know the mindset of the enemy of the West.

    Mr Jaf’s remarks are illogical at best, and perhaps stupid.
    1) he first condemned as “senseless” the use by police of deadly force against a murderer, then “explained” afterward that his statement was not meant to be “factual.” Of course not . It was not factual , it was evaluative.
    2) His reasoning, if any, for his condemnation seems to be that the police action was disproportionate because the terrorism was committed with a knife.
    I) Jaf thereby joins the legions of idiots who apparently think that a police officer faced with a suspect brandishing a knife should holster his gun and pull a knife to make it a fair fight. This is neither how police work is done nor how it ought to be done.
    II) in addition, the suspect used an air gun against police.
    That will do for now . Others may continue the chore of analyzing his drivel.

    “France is in crisis ” alright, but not for the “reason” he’s stating.

    France has allowed…and purposely welcomed…millions of moslims into the country, which means they have welcomed terrorists by the millions into the country.
    If one handles snakes, one is going to be bitten. Just ask any snake handler.
    If a cowboy rides enough bulls, eventually he will be trampled or gored. Allow more than a small…very small…number of moslims in, and there will be terror attacks by the hundreds and thousands.

    If a country allows millions to ***teach*** murder and terrorism and the daily incitement of hatred, allowing those who hate to roam free after using violence to express that vicious hatred…hatred without cause… then what can that country expect?
    And the police cannot allow all of them to remain free after they commit murder. Allowing any of them to go free or with only a slap is what is “senseless.”

        That’s too true, Ray. i was thinking of those ones who would like to “leave islam” and not just the country where they are forced to be moslims. Also, about those people who may have been moslim when they came, but found reasons to change. A few do. I met a guy who was in that situation, became Christian and when his family found out, he had to stay on the run, hiding from his family and other moslims who knew him or his wife. (She was Christian, too.)

        There is also the fact that the greater the percentage of moslims to the general population, the greater the damage they do as they feel more and more power, the greater numbers they can produce.
        Also, those who believe that countries are unfair to keep out all moslims…
        The world would be better off if there were no…zero… moslims.
        All those who are moslim would be much better off, too.
        If the angel who became satan had never left “his proper dwelling”.. if he had never…done anything he has done. None of what I have written is pc, but I don’t care.
        I was just being generous in my comment.I don’t control any country.
        In my house, there are no moslims.

    When Dana Nawzar Jaf states that “France is in crisis,” he was certainly correct but not in the way he meant. France is going to have to make a decision that many other nations in the what was once the free world. Are we an open society that possesses the freedom to relate the truth, no matter how uncomfortable or are we to put our heads into the sand and pretend all is fine? I like the teacher’s, Mr. Samuel Paty, answer to situation. He paid dearly for standing up for truth as many have in the past such as Dr. Edvard Beneš and Jan Masaryk and others fighting for their nations and for truth itself. Will France and other nations blame their maladies on the likes of Alfred Dreyfus and will it require someone like Emile Zola to put his reputation on the line to protect integrity? We did not obtain by magic the goals of the 1215 Magna Carta and the United States Declaration of Independence but by sheer determination and blood of many patriots dedicated to the principles of truth. Maybe Mr. Paty’s slaughter will awaken the French but I am afraid his death will not effect the people enough to stand up for liberty.

    Well I’m glad that there is outrage about this Muslim piece of crap’s disgusting comment. I think that this scumbag Jaf should be thrown out of the country. As for the police shooting the Muslim piece of crap who beheaded the teacher so barbarically, well I think humanely putting him down by shooting him dead was far too nice a fate. I think he deserved to have a far more painful death. I suppose that Jaf thinks that Macron is the chief fueller of terrorism because he isn’t just completely caving in and letting islam take over France. How dare the infidels resist the Muslims taking over would be Jaf’s diseased outlook on things. Muslims, such as Jaf and so many others, are barbaric scum who don’t belong in any civilised non-Muslim country. Their view of life is totally incompatible with civilised life. Imagine any magazine actually giving a platform to a diseased scumbag like Jaf to spew out his evil garbage.

    Note that Dana Nawzar Jaf doesn’t consider the murder of teacher Samuel Paty to have been senseless.

    Then he has sneered at the teacher supporting freedom of speech:

    “Bullying Muslim children in the name of teaching them free speech has to stop. Showing caricatures to Muslims kids disrespecting Prophet Muhammed is child abuse…”

    In a way the Muslim writer is correct. the goal of every true Muslim is to be a Shaheed. He has certainly gained that Islamic honour to go to Islamic Jannah where his first meal will be ‘whale liver’ with zanjibil wine followed by Chicken Curry or what ever he wishes.

    So Jaf makes a fatuously inappropriate and inaccurate knee-jerk comment about the French police when they were clearly doing their duty in attempt to defend the crass criminality of one of his fellow muslims, then tries to get himself off the hook be claiming that he was ‘only being ‘sarcastic’ by drawing attention to President Macron’s invlovement in ‘fuelling violence’ in France. Does he know what the concept of ‘sarcasm’ is? Just in case Jaf had lost his copy of the English dictionary, the definition is:-

    ‘A cutting, often ironic remark intended to express contempt or ridicule.’

    1. How exactly is claiming that the French police were committing a ‘brutal senseless murder of the Muslim’
    after they had caught the said muslim literally red-handed after committing an appallingly grotesque
    murder in a public place, supposed to be ‘A cutting, often ironic remark intended to express contempt or
    ridicule’ – when, at best, it’s just totally inappropriate, transparent, pathetic lies?

    2. Who exactly does Jaf think he’s kidding when he then tries to shift the focus of his ‘sarcasm’ to President
    Macron, who appears to have had nil involvement in this absolutely appalling outrage, and when the only
    part that the President seems to have played in ‘fuelling violence’ is playing the stooge to French muslims
    and possibly encouraging them to think that they can get away with murder? Just like this incident?
