Abdulakh Anzorov is the Muslim fanatic who decapitated the middle-school teacher Samuel Paty for showing his class, as part of a discussion on freedom of expression, one of the Charlie Hebdo caricatures of Muhammad. Before showing the caricature, Paty gave Muslim students who might be offended permission to leave the classroom. One Muslim girl reported to her father about how disturbed she had been about the event; it turned out that she had not even been in school that day. Her father, Brahim Chnina, accused Paty of disseminating pornography to the students and filed a criminal complaint. He also took to social media to complain, naming Paty and providing the school’s address. He encouraged other parents to join him in mobilizing against the teacher, whom he described as a “thug” (voyou). The Grande Mosque of Pantin put online a video denouncing Paty; the imam of the mosque, known to the anti-terrorism police for his fiery sermons, demanded on the video that Paty be fired.
Brahim Chnina also filed a complaint with the school, and encouraged people to protest right outside the school.
A meeting was held between the head teacher, Samuel Paty, and an official from the education authority. Chnina additionally filed a legal complaint about Paty’s lesson, leading the teacher to go to the local police station accompanied by the principal. Paty told investigators he could not understand the complaint because Chnina’s daughter was not in class on the day Paty showed the cartoon. In March 2021, Chnina’s daughter, known as “Z,” admitted she had been suspended from school due to truancy since the day prior to Paty showing the cartoons, and, as such, she had not been in the classroom that day. According to the Paty family lawyers, Brahim Chnina was aware that his daughter had been expelled before the cartoon incident.
Abdoulakh Anzorov, 18 years old, saw online the video put up by the imam of the Grande Mosque of Pantin, and resolved to avenge the honor of the Prophet by murdering Paty. He went to the school armed with a cleaver, had Paty pointed out to him by some students, waylaid the teacher as he walked home, and decapitated Paty for daring to show a caricature of Muhammad.
Now, a year after the killing of Samuel Paty, a video has again surfaced, in which Anzorov’s father is interviewed. He praises his son for the murder, saying that with the beheading, “the debt of all Muslims will be settled.” The interview, first broadcast before the summer, was hardly noticed by the media at the time, but a few days after the nationwide tribute to Samuel Paty that was held exactly a year after his murder, it is worth looking at it, for it contains new information about the murderer Anzorov — in particular, about his support from his proud father, who no longer lives in France.
A report on the interview with Anzorov’s father is here.
Last June, a Chechen Salafist blogger published on social media an interview with Abdulakh Anzorov’s father, Abouyezid, that lasted almost an hour and a half. Abouyezid Anzorov states that in early October 2020, his son became aware of a video “sent by an imam of a local mosque” denouncing Samuel Paty. This appears to refer to the video circulated by Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who claimed to be a member of a “Council of Imams of France.”. The terrorist’s father added that this “imam” referred in his video to “apparently unsuccessful attempts by Muslims to take legal action against images that are offensive to Muslim believers.”.However, in his video, Abdelhakim Sefrioui makes the following accusation: “For five to six years, Muslim children aged 12 to 13 have been bullied, assaulted and humiliated in front of their friends.
This charge by Imam Serfioui is false. There are no reports of Muslim children in France being “bullied, assaulted and humiliated.” There are many reports, however, of the reverse – that is, of non-Muslim French children of all ages being “bullied, assaulted, and humiliated” by Muslim classmates.
“Abdullakh watched this video,” Abouyezid Anzorov continues, “he couldn’t stand it and ran to the kitchen to tell his mother. His mother cursed those who draw the cartoons and replied that it was not in our power, that it was our job to pray.” Abdoullakh also showed the video to his brother, but not to his father, a security guard who was then working in a city other than Évreux, where the family lived. The father then spoke of his son who, without family pressure, had started praying at 5 years of age and fasting at 7 years of age, a “good son for his parents” who “” “followed Chechen traditions and behaviour”. There was “no fanaticism in him,” added Abuyezid Anzorov.” I educated him to love Allah more than his parents.”
The father is mightily proud of his son, not despite but because of his murder of Paty. He who was a “good son” and followed “Chechen traditions and behavior.” When Abdulakh Anzorov killed Paty, ”the debt of all Muslims” was “settled.” The insult to the Prophet had been properly avenged. As far as his father is concerned, his son was a Muslim hero.
Anzorov’s father assures his interviewer that “there was no fanaticism in him [his son].” Is this true? Abdullakh Anzorov began praying at the age of five” and “fasting at the age of seven.” How many Muslim children at those ages display such zealotry or, as some might say, “fanaticism”? And wasn’t his “fanaticism” on display when he sought out Paty to kill him?
A father so proud of his son for murdering someone he did not know — a gentle middle-school teacher whose only crime was in fulfilling his duty to discuss freedom of expression with his class, a teacher so solicitous of his Muslim students’ feelings that he invited them to leave the classroom before the discussion began — is a moral monster.
Abouyezid Anzorov, whose own fanaticism was communicated to his son at an early age, helps us to better understand Abdulakh Anzorov, and what led him, that day in mid-October 2020, to swing that meat cleaver into the inoffensive neck of Samuel Paty. Talis pater, talis filius.

Deport him to another jihad country.

He’s Chechen, right? Why not, w/ the approval of the Russians, deport him to either Chechnya or Kyrgyzstan?

The Bible reads “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.” Proverbs 28:4. [N.K.J.V.]

The Muslims claim they believe in GOD. GOD gave us the ten commandments one being ‘thou shall not murder’.
Then mohammed claims he is a messenger of GOD and writes a book that repeatedly contradicts the ten commandments.
Why would anyone who says they believe in GOD follow the writings of anyone who goes against what GOD has written.
So is it the Muslims are so egotistical that they choose to follow a man’s writings and ignore GOD’s directives.

Robert Spencer has put his finger on the spot where ‘the shoe pinches’, namely, the perception of the Muslims that Islam is not getting due respect … they will always feel that, though, won’t they?
Abouyezid Anzorov is correct in his understanding of Islam. Islam provides in SHARIA LAW for the VIGILANTE SLAYING of blasphmers or even those who appear to disagree with Islam openly.
You merely have to ‘mention’ something that a Muslim doesn’t want to hear and voilà, you are eligible for beheading.
Beheading seems to be the punishment of choice.
Even micro-aggressions or imagined aggressions count as punishable blasphemy according to mullah Abdelhakim Sefrioui who made the following accusation: “For five to six years, Muslim children aged 12 to 13 have been bullied, assaulted and humiliated in front of their friends.’
Whether the micro-aggression offends him or the fact that a Muslim friend saw it (and felt humiliated) is not sure. Either way, the kafir is DEAD MEAT in his eyes.
Guess what France? This is a civil war that you did not choose and the only way out is to deport Muslims or convert them out of Islam.
mortimer says
Don’t you feel totally relieved? In the matter of his son THE BEHEADER, father Abouyezid Anzorov has assured us that ‘There was “no fanaticism in him … I educated him to love Allah more than his parents.”
Well, that’s nice … I guess beheading is an example of ‘moderate Islam’ in his thinking.
See how Muslims think?

According to Hugh Fitzgerald’s excellent feature article:
“Abdulakh Anzorov is the Muslim fanatic who decapitated the middle-school teacher Samuel Paty”
Instead of calling him a “fanatic”, perhaps a “very devout” muslim?
