The French woman was murdered as she visited the municipal market in Tiznit, and “a Belgian visitor” was injured. The Moroccan suspect is being investigated in France, Belgium and Morocco. He is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
Jihadists are often deemed mentally ill for their attacks on infidels because they are indeed “abnormal” by all Western standards. Some also really have a psychiatric history. There remains a lack of understanding about how jihadists can exhibit symptoms of mental illness and also be driven to murder in their jihadist cause. But it isn’t the mental illness that drives a jihadist’s zeal to do harm to infidels. It is his allegiance to Islamic texts, fueled by Islamic preachers who promote hatred and violence against disbelievers. Islam awards martyrs a great value for murdering infidels in the cause of Allah.
“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Allah guarantees him who strives in His Cause and whose motivation for going out is nothing but Jihad in His Cause and belief in His Word, that He will admit him into Paradise (if martyred) or bring him back to his dwelling place, whence he has come out, with what he gains of reward and booty.'” Bukhari 53 no 352
No mental health evaluation encompasses 1400 years of religious motivation.
Belgium and Morocco are investigating “possible links to terrorism,” while the French anti-terror prosecutor has launched an investigation into a “murder in connection with a terrorist intent.”
By Western standards, such murders as those of the Scandinavian girls in 2018 are psychotic, but they were driven by jihad intent.
“3 countries investigate Morocco attacker who killed tourist,” Associated Press, January 20, 2022:
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — A Moroccan judge on Thursday ordered a man suspected of fatally stabbing a French woman and injuring a Belgian visitor to undergo psychiatric evaluation, as authorities in three countries opened probes into the suspect’s possible links to terrorism.
A 78-year-old French woman was killed in a knife attack in a market in the southern Moroccan town of Tiznit on Jan. 15, the French interior ministry said in a statement.
The suspect, a 31-year-old man, was arrested later that day in the city of Agadir, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Tiznit, police said. Before he was apprehended, police said he struck again, attacking people with a knife in a cafe located on Agadir’s coastal strip, and injuring a Belgian woman. She was taken to a local hospital for multiple stabbing wounds.
The suspect has no criminal record, Moroccan police said. They added that last year he allegedly received treatment in the psychiatric ward of the Hassan I Hospital in Tiznit. An investigating judge in the capital, Rabat, ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the man. He was placed in the Razi mental facility in Salé, near Rabat.
Morocco’s public prosecution assigned the case to the police anti-terror squad, to investigate “possible terrorist motives.”
In Paris, the French anti-terror prosecutor announced Wednesday an investigation into a “murder in connection with a terrorist intent” after a French tourist was killed in southern Morocco.
And the Belgian Federal Public Prosecutor’s office said Thursday it will investigate the case for a possible terrorist link in the attempted murder of a Belgian tourist in Morocco.
In 2018, two Scandinavian women were found beheaded in the Atlas Mountains near Marrakech in an operation carried out by Islamic State supporters….

That’s to say that it is Islam per se the civilized world has to annihilate.
This is a World War between the Islamic World, Dar al-Islam, and the REST of the World, Dar al-Harb. Naive pundits saying otherwise, demanding the (non-existent) Moderate Muslims join with us to destroy the Radical Muslims, are dangerous, ignorant fools trying to lead the rest of us off the cliff.
There is only one Quran and Sunnah that all Muslims worship. There’s just Islam, and it’s pure evil. You need not take my word for it. Just listen to Turkish PM Recep Erdogan: “The term ‘moderate Islam’ is ugly and offensive. There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.”
Muslims believe the Quran is the literal word of Allah, therefore sacrosanct in perfection, Eternally immutable, and 100% mandatory in compliance for all humans on Earth. Nobody is allowed to selectively adhere to some directives while dismissing others.

In the late sixties, I traveled to Morocco all by myself. No problems. I even made local acquaintances, but the resurrection of Islamic radicalism has changed all that.

No non-Muslim should visit a Muslim country. After all that has happened in the last few decades, why take the risk? There are so many other places to visit. Why the insensate urge to travel? How about staying home and reading?
BexarKat says
Does anyone else find it odd that every time a Muslim shoots, stabs, beats, or chops someone – it is due to “mental illness.” But on second thought, one must be mentally ill to subscribe to a cult such as Islam.

As Ricky Gervais once said “I’m a white, rich, atheist male. I’m an oppressed minority in 13 different countries that I’d never visit anyways.” I’m pretty sure he meant Islamic countries.
Sadly there’s so many non-Muslims that have no idea how dangerous Islamic countries are, esp nowadays, so they foolishly go and end up getting kidnapped and tortured for ransom or are killed just because they are white and western/infidel.
Most of the blame goes to our leaders and the media who continue to lie and whitewash Islam and post no travel warnings. When are they going to take this danger (Islam/Muslims) to our lives seriously?

Pre 1990 a European (Jew or Gentile) was safe as houses in the Maghreb. The change is down to the Saudi financed madrassas, the return of jihadis from Afghan. and underlying every thing, over- population.
I mention Jews because I used to work sometimes with a Sephardic Berber Jew who was treated with great respect and affection by Arabs and Berbers..

Save your money. Why travel to a Muslim country as an infidel when you can have your very own, ever enlarging, local Muslim area, complete with Mosque and Islamic Center. Courtesy of Leftist-Green-Marxist-Globalist Trudeau and peers. No need for Yoga either. If your mind is weary and your head needs to “disconnect” from all the hustle and bustle of daily life, visit the nearby no-go zone.

With once “safe” places like Morocco and Tunisia traversing the well-worn path to cesspool Islamist Jihad, only a fool would travel to any majority Mosslem state – or Nice, France for that matter.
