Here yet again we see it: Islamic piety, which Islamic apologists frequently contrast with the corrupt and sinful West, is enforced by violence and fear; it has nothing to do with actual virtue.
An update on this story. “Knifeman gunned down in frenzy of police machine gun fire in Bordeaux after ‘killing one and wounding another’ Police officer shot the suspect dead after he allegedly attacked two people,” by Peter Allen and James Reynolds, Daily Mail, April 10, 2024:
A knifeman was shot dead by police machine gun fire in Bordeaux tonight after he allegedly stabbed one passer-by to death and wounded another.
The bloodbath unfolded just before 8pm on Wednesday in the south-west French city, at end of the evening rush hour.
‘A police officer used his machine gun to kill the assailant on the Left Bank of the Garonne river, just after he had attacks by the city hall,’ said an investigating source.
TV journalist Amaury Bucco posted a video of one of the alleged stabbings, saying the attacker was a ‘man dressed in a djellaba and armed with a knife’ close to the Pont de Pierre [Peter Bridge].
There was no early indication as to the motive of the stabbings, but it came on a night of high tension across France, following warnings of an attack on football stadium by ISIS.
Local prosecutors confirmed that the attacker was dead, along with one of his victims.
A third person suffered ‘very serious stab wounds,’ and was in intensive care, said the source at the Bordeaux prosecutors office.
Witnesses said they saw the knifeman ‘attack pedestrians with a bladed weapon after telling them off for drinking.’
Prosecutors confirmed that the dead person stabbed in the throat was an Algerian national, aged 36.
The investigating source said: ‘The man was set upon in Place de la Bourse [Stock Exchange Square] and was stabbed alongside at least two others.
‘The other two were wounded and taken to Bordeaux University Hospital, but he died at the scene.
‘The attacker had reproached a group of North African people for having a drink – possibly because they should have been fasting during Ramadan.’
Muslims avoid all food and drink during the Ramadan fast. The period of religious prayer ended April 9 this year.
One police source said the attack had ‘no terrorist connotation for the moment’.
The source said it was likely to be ‘a brawl with an unknown motive’….

Damnaram or ramagoat??

He’s now a good moslem, cos he’s a dead moslem. Hope the cop shot his dick off too so he can’t enjoy his 72 virgins.

Islam needs to be removed from Europe in full ASAP.
The safety of French and European Citizens is being put at risk along with their western culture and Christian belief system which underpins European civilisation.
The Police response was the correct one to take. Such terrorists need to be neutralised full stop.
MD Anthony says
Far to late ….it will require a religious war and Islam is ready to die for that.
Egor says
The problem is, I cannot tell one from the other. I have to wait until he or she commits an overt act. By then for the victims it is too late as it is for the martyr
SKA says
Fasting during Ramadan can’t be the pretext because Ramadan ended on April 9. Rather the pretext can only be that the two men were drinking alcohol.
Goofy says
It is suggested that a self righteous Muslim killed another Muslim and hurt others for drinking during Ramadan. But Ramadan was already over when the killing took place!
Anyway, he made the point that he Is a more devout Muslim than the others, and that is important to the self-righteous Muslims.
abu taleb says
The motive was unknown and the stabber must be mentally ill. To say otherwise is Islamophobia.
If we combined the Europe system with the US system, the stabber would have been freed by now. This must be the ideal government for the left and muslims.
Man says
When a person drink in public another would not know whether he is a Muslim or not and a Muslim should not judge and take things into their own hand. So base on the narrative and what happens there is no religious indication or the assailant and the victim. So please do not slanders and lies about things that you do not know by speculating.

It is noted that the attacked condemned his victims for drinking. This is not speculation.
Then, Muslims are *supposed* to take matters into their own hands if the state is not doing its Islamic duty imposing Shari’ah law. And France is not an Islamic state–not yet, certainly.
This Muslim poster “Man” of course knows this.

France: Muslim stabbed other Muslims because they were drinking during daylight hours in Ramadan
………………………………….
Islam: drinking during Ramadan Haram; *stabbing* people drinking during Ramadan praiseworthy.
God, I hate Islam.
Just glad that the French police gunned down this murderous barbarian.
