Ilan Halimi: Islamic Jew-Hatred in France
October 11, 1982 – February 13, 2006
Story continues below advertisement
Today is the anniversary of the murder of Ilan Halimi by a gang of Muslims — "the Gang of Barbarians."
Halimi was found naked, handcuffed, and bound with nylon rope to a tree
about 40 yards inside a woodlot from a railway outside Paris, on
February 13. A list of cases of the 'bystander effect' reported that
more than 80% of his body had been burned with acid, as well as gasoline,
to the point that he was difficult to recognize. He had severe
contusions, blood blisters, and hematomas covering most of his body, to
the point that he was more blue than flesh-colored, multiple broken
bones, one ear and one big toe missing, and his testicles looked like
"blackened oranges." Halimi died en route to a hospital.
The French police officer
leading the investigation said the gang “kept him naked and tied up
for weeks. They cut bits off his flesh, fingers and ears, and in the end
poured flammable liquid on him and set him alight. It was one of the cruelest
killings I have ever seen.”
The gang phoned the family several times and made them listen to verses
from the Koran while Ilan screamed as he was tortured in the background. (Tom Gross)
The French police arrested late Thursday night most of the members of the gang
that abducted, tortured and murdered Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jew from Paris.
Hundreds of SWAT officers raided apartments in Bagneux and arrested 12 people. Another suspect was arrested in Belgium.
"They acted with indescribable cruelty," the judiciary police chief
leading the investigation said. "They kept him naked and tied up for
weeks. They cut him and in the end poured flammable liquid on him and
set him alight."
While the citizens of France were shocked by the unbridled violence of
the gang, Halimi's family claims that the murder was motivated by
anti-Semitism.
"We think there is anti-Semitism in this affair," Rafi Halimi, Ilan's uncle, told the press.
"First, because the killers tried to kidnap at least two other Jews, and
second, because of what they said on the phone," Rafi Halimi added.
"When we said we didn't have 500,000 euros to give them they told us to
go to the synagogue and get it," Rafi said. "They also recited verses
from the Koran."

So very sad for his family… what a handsome kid. What they did to him is beyond belief. The horror will never end… until ALL of these psychotic Islamofacist killers are destroyed.

muhammedans would do the same to any of us, there should be no “but there are good muslims too”, they will side with their filthy brethren when given the chance, all of them are our enemies, muslims are our enemies. There are not and can be not good (in the absolute sense of the word good) muslims.

These savages are worse than feral animals. I pray Ilan has found peace from his horrifying end.

Of course, none of those cowardly little pigs could have prevailed in a one on one with Ilan… But the saddest part of all is that these kinds of things have become daily fare for our world, while the U.S. Democratic Party, their counterparts on the left in Europe, Asia, South America and the U.N., including several high profile religious institutions that blather about “peace” and “pali” victimization in one breath (ok, I’ll be P.C. here and not embarrass them by naming them), choosing to look the other way, or at best, give momentary, duplicitous lip service to the suffering of the countless victims like Ilan, dismembered children, ad nauseum…

“They also recited verses from the Koran.”
This is the core of islam. It is Evil. Evil’s best friend is a moslem.

The thing that also needs to be mentioned is that in Scotland a gang of Muslim thugs kidnapped a young Scottish non-Muslim boy, Kriss Donald, and tortured him slowly to death by much the same fiendish methods, though not over so long a period of time. He, too, was dumped while still partly alive though dying.
Islam eats the human soul, suppressing or erasing the capacity for empathy, and unloosing and sacralising instead all the darkest and most perverse and ugly impulses, the impulse to dominate, to *hurt*, to humiliate, to obtain a perverse pleasure from tormenting something alive and killing it sloooowly.
Sadism and murder, codified as a ‘religion’. A cult not just of human sacrifice, Murder, but of Torture…and, usually, Rape, Mutilation, and Dismemberment. A ‘religion’ for Jack the Rippers; for psycho serial killers.
Even the Aztecs killed their victims swifter and more cleanly than these obscene Mohammedthugs.

For the family of Ilan Halimi.

A mesmerisingly beautiful setting of the Aaronic Blessing.
Despite what was done to Ilan, I choose to believe that these words are true, that they reflect ultimate reality; that this, and not the power of Thanatos, will prevail.
I believe that eternal justice will be done. I believe that one day Ilan, and all the others who have been murdered as he was, will stand before the Holy One alive, in everlasting joy and beauty; and that the murderers will know utter defeat, will know that they, the worshippers of death, have failed; that the ruler of the Universe is not the infernal Allah but, rather, the covenant keeper, the Holy One of Israel.

Where was the French government when all this went down? Why did they not arrange the delivery of 500,000 marked Euros and transcend the cell in so doing?

What happened to the savages who did this to Ilan? Do these scumbags still breath? Do their families live in fear of retribution? If not, why not? No act like this should be unrequited. These individuals and their families need to suffer as Ilan did!!

‘Refugiado Indisciplinado’
Kriss Donald’s murder does bear similarities. A background and the disgusting dhimmidom of officials is here….
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kriss_Donald
I ask myself, which is worse? The crime is undoubtedly off the radar of any normalcy we expect in the West and can only be propelled by an unimaginable hatred. Not mentioned is that Donald’s eyes were also gouged out.
Meanwhile local police, the council and a supine media collude in cover up, obfuscation and lies with no other intent than protecting their adored Muslim clients.
I believe similar tactics were tried on in France.

Cultural enrichment, European style anno domini 2006. Breathtaking, isn’t it?

Poor kid. At least G-d had taken him home.
I always wonder why we never hear or read or see ANYTHING about how Gilad Shalit was treated while in islamofascist capitivity. Because I can’t imagine he was treated gently or well and I’ll bet he was tortured.
