The terrorist motive is obvious, but French authorities are only “considering” it, because they’re institutionally committed to the proposition that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Thus an act of violence avowedly committed in the name of Muhammad makes no sense to them.
“Police officer wounded in stabbing in front of Cannes police station, terrorist motive ‘considered,'” translated from “Un policier blessé à l’arme blanche devant le commissariat de Cannes, la piste terroriste «envisagée»,” AFP, November 8, 2021:
A police officer driving a vehicle was wounded Monday morning by stabbing outside the Cannes police station by an individual claiming to act “in the name of the prophet,” AFP learned from police sources. “The terrorist motive is being considered,” according to these sources.
The policeman was “saved thanks to his bulletproof vest,” according to these sources. The assailant was “seriously” shot and wounded by a second police officer and his prognosis is threatened. Two other police officers were lightly hit by shrapnel from the colleague.
Around 6.30 am in front of the Cannes police station, the man opened the door of the police vehicle and stabbed a first policeman “in the chest,” before going around the vehicle to attack “the captain,” said a police source.
According to one of these sources, the attacker is a 37-year-old Algerian national unknown to the police and intelligence services.
The Home Secretary said on Twitter that he was going to the scene. The mayors of Cannes and Nice, David Lisnard and Christian Estrosi, have expressed their “support” for the police.
Since the start of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term, France has been hit by 17 Islamist attacks. The last dates back to April 23, 2021 at the Rambouillet police station, where a 36-year-old Tunisian national fatally stabbed an Interior Ministry official.

All Mohammedans jihad attacks are literally ‘HATE CRIMES’. Don’t the French police know that?
Jihadists fight ‘in the cause of Allah’ in order to right the wrong of ‘incorrect’ worship by the dirty kufaar and in order to impose discriminatory SHARIA SUPREMACISM.
Muslims fight the kufaar because Allah hates them and wishes Muslims to hate them too.
– “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”
– Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
– “The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
– Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and HATE the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”
– from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”
All jihad attacks are thus ‘HATE CRIMES’ motivated by Allah’s hatred and the hatred of Muslims directed against the dirty non-Muslim KUFAAR.
Such CANONICAL hatred is the motivation for all jihad and is normative Islam, rather than an aberration..
Don’t they know?

In Germany, the authorities are deceiving, but in France, for real, they have cognitive dissonance.

Islam isn’t benign.

La sécurité serait la deuxième préoccupation des français après la pouvoir d’achat.
L’islam ne doit pas être dissocié de l’islamisme (dixit Éric Zemmour).

“Since the start of Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term, France has been hit by 17 Islamist attacks. The last dates back to April 23, 2021 at the Rambouillet police station” ….. er no, The last dates all the way back to Nov 2nd (6 days ago)and before that Oct 31st, as R Spencer has reported.
Westman says
The term “terrorist” has lost any specifity, thrown about by Leftists, labeled upon citizens by tyrannical governments, and even used by US politicians to describe protesters.
Why not just be specific and accurately describe the motive for this stabbing of a policeman and all the other mahem, where the perpetrator utters Islamic praise or pupose, as an, “Islamic motive”?
Western governments think they are spinning the reputation of Islam as a peaceful ideology while the citizens observe continual mahem in its name. It seems that, “Actions speak louder than words.”
john smith says
Exactly Westman, by calling them terrorists they are disassociating them from islam.
Call them what they really are mulsims just carrying out jihad. The sooner they start telling the truth, the sooner people will start waking up.
James Lincoln says
I think that you’re right, john.
The term “terrorist” is too generic – unless you and the adjective “islamic”…
Kagman says
Sweden is lost… France still has one nostril above water – the rest of Europe, not much better. Every second democrats wield power in the US, the closer we come to the abyss. One way or the other, there will be significant conflict. Clearly, better sooner than later
Michael Copeland says
Memo to Agence France Presse:
Those “Islamist attacks” are identical in motive to Islamic attacks. There is no distinction.
Second Memo:
The Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”, has no mention of “Islamist”.
“Islamist” is a category unknown to Islamic law.
tim gallagher says
The terrorist motive is “being considered”. Sacre bleu. This is beyond a joke. Maybe Inspector Clouseau (I think that’s the name of the hapless dope that Steve Martin played in the movie a while back) is in charge. I wonder if anyone still buys this garbage from these police who try to cover up the motive. I am reminded of a joke on that comedy “Becker” , where Ted Danson played the cranky doctor, John Becker. There is this slack, dopey detective trying to find out who did damage to Becker’s office, and Becker says to the detective, “If I ever do kill anyone, I’ll make sure I do it in front of you, that way I know I’ll never get caught.” Some of these police investigating whether Muslim terrorism is involved in the crimes they are looking into are absolutely pathetic. I’m sure nobody still buys their bullshit.

n France that migrant Muslim stabbing of a police officer “ in the name of the Prophet”, of Islam Muhammad as well as other brutal ,violent vicious and bloody Islamic actions form jihad –minded Muslims in other Western nations had been foreseen in the last century, as the following essay explains.
It might be of some interest to a few people that that a book with title of JIHAD IN THE WEST published in the year 1998 authored by Paul Fregosi ,was a man who was thinking ,a bit ahead of his time ,as in before 9/11 and then many Islamic horrors of jihad terrorism that hit London, Manchester, Madrid Paris as well as other Western nations of Europe .For above mentioned book of page 411 reads “Most worrying , both Islam and the West see each other as potential enemies of tomorrow .The future is a source of concern , not of optimism.”
For this year of 2021 is the “future” as seen from the time-frame of the year 1998 when that book was published. As the author thus had a valid point in what he wrote in the above quote .
Moreover the threats of the jihadists towards the people of the nations of West .This has been further explained and revealed by in the book , by Robert Spencer ,THE HISTORY OF THE JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS .Which in page 367 informs the reader that “The early twenty- first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims: in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice ,Amsterdam, Madrid, Brussels, Berlin Munich ,Copenhagen…”
Those jihadists /Muslims with their insidious jihad-minded Muslims scheming for the subtle and not so subtle, Islamic conquest of Europe by every possible means, including the stealth and violent jihad which is, indeed, awful.
As explained by William Wagner in his book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD .Which informs the reader n page 195 “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategist who are seeking world dominance.”
Therefore, all Europeans and other Westerners would be wise to be on guard.
Walter Sieruk says
The brutal cruel vicious violent and many times murderous jihad terror attacks in the different nations and cities of Europe by jihad –minded, committed and dangerous Muslims are wicked and destructive to both the people and infrastructure of Europe.
Such jihadists violence and evil has been further explained and exposed in the book by written by Robert Spencer, who is a scholar of both Islam and the different methods of Islam’s jihad. In Mr. Spencer’s book THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FOR MUHAMMAD TO ISIS on pages 367,368 the reader is informed that “The early twenty first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims : in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice, Amsterdam. Madrid ,Brussels, Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, Malmo Stockholm, Turku ,in Finland , Moscow , St Petersburg , and Beslan ,among rather places… ”
It also should be noted that those jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations be the Muslim terrorists in the city of London, Manchester, Stockholm, Brussels , Strasburg , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.
