“Take advantage of the coming days”? You mean, like, last minute shopping? No, the Islamic State wants Muslims in the West to take advantage of holiday crowds to commit jihad mass murder on the largest possible scale. “ISIS to Followers: ‘Take Advantage of the Coming Days’ to Strike ‘Gatherings of Infidels’ Like Strasbourg,” by Bridget […]
Father of Strasbourg jihad mass murderer says his son supported the Islamic State
“Shortly after Chekatt’s death, the Islamic State group’s Amaq news agency claimed he was a “soldier” of the group. French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner rejected the claim as ‘totally opportunistic.’” But Chekatt’s father “acknowledged that his son backed the IS group.” So once again we see authorities dismiss an Islamic State claim of involvement in […]
Robert Spencer interview with Sputnik: “French authorities need to enforce the idea that there is one law for all”
I spoke with Sputnik News about the latest jihad mass murder in France: Go here to listen to the audio. “Author on Terrorism: Macron Was Wrong Considering Climate Change Worst Problem,” Sputnik News, December 15, 2018: France’s Interior Minister has today confirmed that the man suspected of opening fire at a Christmas market has been […]
Dutch paper: Strasbourg jihad murderer’s zebibah confirms “exaggerated conversion behavior” that led to his attack
Expect De Telegraaf to be denounced as “Islamophobic” and apologize, but they’re actually correct: not all devout Muslims are violent jihadis, but all violent jihadis are devout Muslims. Counterterror analysts in the U.S. used to consider this, but all that was swept away by Obama’s enforced willful ignorance in 2011. “France is looking to ‘striking […]
France: Strasbourg jihad mass murderer Cherif Chekatt “killed during police operation”
This entire episode should lead the French to do some serious soul-searching about their entire approach to the jihad threat. But it won’t. “Suspected Strasbourg shooter Cherif Chekatt ‘killed during police operation,’” Independent.ie, December 13, 2018: The suspected Strasbourg shooter Cherif Chekatt has reportedly been killed during a police operation. Armed police launched a security […]
720 cops hunting for Strasbourg jihad murderer, who has been convicted of 27 crimes
And he was calling for “practising a radical form of religion” (of course the hopeless Laurent Nuñez doesn’t dare name which religion), but he still wasn’t considered a threat to carry out an act of jihad violence. All the relevant authorities in France should be fired for this, but they won’t be. “French police release […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Jihad in Strasbourg
Cherif Chekatt reminds Emmanuel Macron that climate change is not the only threat France faces. My latest in FrontPage: Emmanuel Macron, France’s youthful wunderkind, Europe’s poster child for globalism and socialism, has been absorbed lately with furious protests and riots over a confiscatory new tax he placed on gasoline in order to fight what he […]
France: Strasbourg jihadi screamed “Allahu akbar,” Interior Minister still unsure he had “terrorist motivations”
“Deputy Interior Minister Laurent Nunez earlier told Inter radio station that authorities could not confirm that the suspect had ‘terrorist motivations.’” Perhaps to admit the obvious would show Nuñez, and the French authorities in general, to be so catastrophically feckless and willfully ignorant that they just can’t bring themselves to do it. At least Strasbourg […]
France: Strasbourg jihad mass murderer was “radicalized” in practice of Islam, but cops still searching for motive
“The terrorist motivation of the act, as we speak, is not yet established,” said Laurent Nuñez, the deputy interior minister. But Nuñez also said this of Strasbourg jihad mass murderer Cherif Chekatt, who is not referred to by name in this article: “He had several stays in prison, and it is during those stays that […]
France: Strasbourg jihad murderer Cherif Chekatt was born in the city
Initial reports that he was a migrant were apparently incorrect; this Reuters report says Cherif Chekatt was born in Strasbourg. Now authorities should be asking why and how he learned to hate his native land to the extent that he carried out this jihad attack. But they almost certainly won’t. “Gunman kills at least two […]
