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

Nice Church Attack and Paris Teacher Beheading Linked, French Investigators Say

Nov 17, 2020 1:00 pm By Vijeta Uniyal 10 Comments

Both jihadi attackers shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ as they beheaded and mutilated their victims.

Last month’s beheading of a Paris school teacher and the subsequent terror attack in the city of Nice appear to be connected, evidence uncovered by the French investigators shows. The Tunisian Muslim immigrant, Brahim al-Aouissaoui, who beheaded a 70-year old woman and two other worshipers in Nice’s Notre Dame church may have been in personal contact with the Russian-Chechen Muslim refugee who beheaded Samuel Paty, the 47-year-old Parisian middle school teacher.

French authorities and President Emmanuel Macron identified these acts of jihad as ‘Islamist terrorist attacks.’ No doubts could be cast on the Islamic motives behind the two killings. Both attackers shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ as they beheaded and mutilated their victims.

The Paris school teacher was beheaded after a Fatwa, or the Islamic death warrant, was issued against him for showing Mohammad caricatures from the Charlie Hebdo magazine to his class as part of a discussion on free speech. Al-Aouissaoui was “armed with a knife and carrying a copy of the Quran” when he attacked the worshipers in the Nice church, the Associated Press confirmed.

Reuters on Friday reported the latest findings released by the French Prosecutors:

The man suspected of knifing to death three people in a church in the French city of Nice had on his telephone pictures of the man who beheaded a middle school teacher near Paris 13 days earlier, prosecutors said on Friday.

The discovery of the photos on the phone of 21-year-old Tunisian Brahim al-Aouissaoui, who was shot and wounded by police in the Oct. 29 attack, could indicate a common motive behind the two attacks.

Anti-terrorist prosecutors said in a media statement that an examination of Aouissaoui’s mobile phone had also revealed images linked to the Islamic State group. The prosecutors did not say what they were or how they were linked to the group. (…)

Until now, the only connection prosecutors had drawn between the Paris attack and the Nice church attack was the method employed. In both cases, the attackers used a large knife and beheaded, or tried to behead, their victims.

The Paris beheading marked the beginning of a new wave of Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe. Samuel Paty’s decapitation was followed by a series of terrorist attacks in France. Earlier this month, a gunman struck outside a synagogue and other locations in the Austrian capital Vienna.

The Islamic State took responsibility for the attack that killed four people and injured 23 others. The attacker, identified as “Abu Dagnah Al-Albany,” was pictured on social media with “a machine gun and a machete and … a ring stamped with a sentence saying “Mohammed is the messenger of Allah”,” Reuters reported.

Following the Islamist stabbing and beheading frenzy, President Macron raised the nation’s security alert to the highest level and called in the army to counter the threat. He ordered the deployment of 4000 soldiers to guard churches, synagogues, and places of worship.

Mass migration from Arab North Africa and Muslim-majority countries have turned major French cities into bastions of jihadi elements. The country is home to 17,000 ‘radicalized’ Muslims, a 2017 European Union intelligence report estimated.

France is under siege from jihadi forces, the country’s right-wing opposition warned. French opposition leader, Marine Le Pen, demanded a “wartime legislation” to fight “an organized and already installed force” of Islamism in the country. “The situation calls for a strategy of reconquest,” she urged.

    Linked? Come on. They’re all linked. Everything they do is in their instruction manual of life called the Koran.

      “could indicate a common motive”. Well done, Reuters, for beginning to approach the answer. Keep at it, Reuters, and you may just get there.

    One very good way to describe this twenty –first century “War of Ideas” is that of a great a conflict and a clash between Christianity and Islam. As explained by the Christian author, William Wagner,, in his book which is entitled HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD had explained on page 155 about a meeting that he had with a Muslim cleric , which reads “Several years ago one Imam told me that ,prior to 1990, the greatest enemy to Islam was Communism but now it is the Christian missions.” Further, on page 208 the Wagner had written about some zealous Muslims that “They have failed to stop Christian missions. They see Christian missions as their number one enemy.” On the very next page the reader is informed that “Christianity remains the number one buffer against Islam, a fact readily recognized by those who seek a world wild ummah.” [1]

    [1] Ummah – The community of all those who affirm Islam.

      satan and his “seed” have been at enmity with God and His people since satan took a nosedive into sin and seduced Eve into following him in rebellion against God and His Laws. In the 3rd chapter of Genesis, God said that this enmity would last, continue, between “seeds” until Christ “bruises satan in the head,” which will be a fatal injury to the demon.

      The “enmity” and the resulting war between satan, his “seed” and that of God’s people began with Cain murdering Abel, down through the centuries when the Jews had enemies on every side and into the Christian congregation of God’s people. It continues today and will not end until satan is dead by the Hand of Christ.

    OMG! When will the French cease to amaze me. Reading the article I read:” Mass migration from Arab North Africa and Muslim Countries.” What in the hell are they talking about? Mass Migration! Nazi Germany in both World Wars: We didn’t read: Mass Migration from Germany. It was a Mass German Invasion. Europe, like Oriana Fallaci wrote years ago: Europe sold its soul to the Muslims and they come and multiply like rats. She was a visionary. Every murder perpetrated by Muslims is not only Linked but ordered in their Satanic book. The Cult-of- Mo believers will go to Hell, no Paradise and 72 Virgins for them. The European leaders better start in believing the threats by the Muslims and the quicker they are deported en masse the better Europe will be. Europeans are being held hostage by these degenerate fanatics. They are NOT welcomed in Europe or America. Now that could change with Biden pandering to the Muslims and America will see an invasion worse than Europe. Time for Europe To wake from its coma and act, stop talking, just do it. People must remember: You don’t reason with a child, a drunk or a fanatic Muslims. China, Russia and India aren’t going to put up with the fanatic Muslims. China has already proven its plan starting with the Uighurs. In God we must Trust.🙏
