“French police kill ‘radicalised’ man who stabbed officer,” by Anna Pujol-Mazzini, Telegraph, May 28, 2021 (thanks to Darcy):
A 40-year-old man stabbed a police officer at her station on Friday morning in western France, launching a manhunt that mobilised 250 officers and helicopters, before being killed in a shootout with police, authorities said.
“This morning at 9.45 am, an individual presented himself to the town hall and savagely attacked a policewoman, who fortunately survived her injuries,” said Gerald Darmanin, France’s interior minister, from the small town of La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, in the suburbs of Nantes, where the attack occurred.
The attacker, who has not been named but has been described as French and roughly 40 years old, then escaped with his victim’s service weapon, prompting a manhunt around the town which was put on lockdown for hours.
“The individual fled and escaped a first arrest. Some 250 gendarmes were mobilised to find the aggressor who obviously wanted to attack the gendarmes again since he fired with the weapon he had taken from the policewoman and he was then neutralised,” Mr Darmanin added.
French police also deployed helicopters and search dogs to find the suspect, and closed nearby schools and stores. When he was located, he fired on officers trying to arrest him, the gendarme service said.
When police officers located him and tried to arrest him, there was a shootout in which two of them were injured, according to the Gendarmerie Nationale.
The suspect was gravely wounded in an ensuing shootout in which ten rounds were fired, and died Friday afternoon of his injuries, according to a police official.
The motive for the violence is unclear, but the man was known to security services and had spent time in prison. He had been reported for practicing “a rigorist version of Islam” in 2016 and had been diagnosed with severe schizophrenia, according to the interior minister….
The Friday attack is not being investigated by the anti-terror prosecutor at present, Mr Darmanin said.

Disagree. Perfectly sane people can become enamored with an ideology and become obsessed with implementing it to the point of breaking the laws of God and man. The examples are Stalinists, Hitlerites, Maoists, Pol-Potists and the Dems who stole the 2020 election.
They have ‘overvalued’ their ideology. They believe in their own infallibility. That is the problem with jihadists. To organize big jihad operations requires being psychosis free. Hitler may have been schizoid, but his high-ranking followers were not … they were sane.
Not that Muslims try to imitate Mohammed whose behaviors have been interpreted by psychologists as insane.

correction: NOTE that Muslims try to imitate Mohammed …

‘Rigorist’ beliefs or ideology such JIHADISM will lead to acting upon those beliefs.
With 5 million Muslims, France will have at least 700,000 jihad-supporters and about 25,000 jihadist-wannabes ready to conduct kinetic jihad when called upon.
The pipe-dream of creating a ‘French version’ of Islam is totally absurd. Kemal Ataturk tried and failed to create a ‘Turkish version’ of Islam. Unfortunately, Islam can only be embraced as is or abandoned, because it is allegedly ‘perfect, compete and eternal’.
France should stop trying to update Islam and start helping Muslims to leave Islam by funding research to debunk Islam completely in every aspect.

JIHADISM?
C’mon, Mort.

So who is going to be held accountable for this act of terror?
This “devout” muslim was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2016.
So…
What criteria did the psychiatric medical staff use as a “test of cure / control” of his schizophrenia before his release from the psychiatric hospital /clinic?
And why was he let out of prison? Who is accountable for that decision?
1. What medications / psychotherapy was he prescribed?
2. What was the follow-up care regimen?
3. Most importantly, if it was determined by the psychiatric medical staff that the islamic religious ideology exacerbated his underlying mental illness, did they recommend leaving the religion? If not, why not?
Ray Jarman says
All excellent questions and I hope that all know the answer.

‘Rigorist’ version of islam? Why, they don’t believe in Salafists anymore?
Donovan Nuera says
Will they close his mosque as no doubt he just left their Friday afternoon combat planning meeting..uh.. “prayer services”
Andrew Blackadder says
I cracks me when I read about some muslim screaming allao snackbar, stabs people while screaming it, and the Police cant find a motive, where is Inspector Clouse when you need him most.
So if I was TV Weatherman and suggested that heavy rain fall coming soon was the result of black clouds on the horizon, would I be unable to make a connection, or a motive, for these clouds…..
Madness takes its toll..
