It looks as if this new convert learned the tenets of his new faith quickly. French authorities, however, were ready, and have already classified him as “mentally ill,” their ever-present fallback. They refuse to admit that jihad exists, and routinely classify jihadis as mentally ill.
Opinel is a French knife manufacturer.
“Draveil: Young Convert to Islam Arrested After Threatening a Woman with a Knife,” translated from “Draveil : Un Jeune Converti à l’Islam Interpellé Après Avoir Menacé une Femme avec un Couteau,” CNews, February 5, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
Equipped with an opinel, a man threatened a person in one of the streets of Draveil, in Essonne, on Sunday morning, on the pretext of his Muslim faith.
Panic gripped the streets of Draveil, in Essonne, on Sunday morning. Converting to Islam barely a month ago, a 22-year-old man caused panic among passers-by before being apprehended by the police.
This individual threatened a person with a knife and approached a second man demanding money, CNEWS learned from a police source, confirming information from Europe 1.
The police acted quickly thanks to the victims’ testimonies as well as a photo provided by a witness, our colleagues report. This photo was a crucial element in identifying and locating the suspect.
The first victim was targeted while returning home around 10 a.m. The assailant, armed with an opinel, confronted the woman in the middle of the street, discussing her recent conversion to Islam.
The man then aggressively approached other people, demanding money under the pretext of his Muslim faith.
A search was immediately carried out at the individual’s home, his aunt’s house. Authorities discovered the man suffered from psychiatric disorders, which may have contributed to his alarming behavior.

I have to admit anyone who willingly converts to Islam has some form of neurosis or psychosis. (Or is just damn ignorant of the religion in its entirety)
FYI says
I call it Islamophrenia.
Symptoms include..
Inability to use any level of critical thinking
Boredom
Tendency to project on to others{especially Jewish People}
Anger management issues
Easily triggered by small microaggressions
Cognitive Dissonance{like the koran itself: an exercise in Cognitive Dissonance}
Extreme Psycopathy/Misanthropy/Misogyny:ideal for deeply insecure alpha males
OCD like scrubbing
Joyless and inflicting it on others
Islamic Superiority Complex…

It sure sounds like France is going to have to start hiring massive numbers of mental health professionals for these “troubled” muslims.

Journalists have no access to any medical records.
It is legally impossible for any journalist to know if someone has been formally diagnosed with a “mental illness”
There is no way for any journalist to know, or even to find out, if someone has been formally diagnosed with a “mental illness.”
If anyone in the medical profession has breached patient confidentiality and told a journalist about any medical diagnosis made regarding any patient, ever, then they would face disciplinary action at the very least, possibly summary dismissal, and possibly legal action to boot.

Sammy,
Hipaa in the United States.
The journalist would have to get the patient’s permission in order to divulge the contents of any medical records.
Very limited exceptions to this.

The convert to islam
“Now that I have converted to islam I can do what ever i want.Commandments of the Actual Biblical God?Who needs em!
I am free to hate Jews and Christians,kill innocent people..hey i can marry a child and indulge in polygamy.
ah this is fantastic!No need to “Love thy Neighbor”:{2nd Chief Commandment in Bible}or follow any commandments{Ist chief commandment requires that}
In return i get a skull cap and can wear my pyjamas all day..{and lose my soul to a god who admits to being a champion deceiver and whose greatest enemy is a man called the”King of kings”but who cares about that?}.. i do get to go to allah’s carnal paradise to be rewarded for all the evil things i do.
Let the stabbings begin!Paradise awaits…ooooh i can’t wait for all those houris..”
{Of Course if anyone thinking of becoming a muslim was to actually READ the koran critically and maye follow allah’s advice in koran 10:94 and check with the Bible people and notice all the ERRORS in the koran they would likely STAY AWAY from islam:but that requires intelligence which is not usually found in many converts.After all how many converts to islam consider CAUSE and EFFECT:Do you think your decision to convert to islam is WHY you are in Jail?Yes}
David M says
He read about the jizya in Islam so went out to collect it himself! He wanted to be a good Muslim.

So Islam causes people to become mentally ill. This is Islamophobia. (sarc)
