[ April 19, 2024 ]
The Express Tribune reported Wednesday that “French police has arrested a man for yelling ‘Allah hu Akbar’ during a screening of Joker at a cinema in Paris, after his actions caused panic among film-goers.”
A Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” caused a panic? Why, those greasy Islamophobes!
The Express Tribune continued that “the incident took place on Sunday evening at the Grand Rex Cinema and saw the man yell the phrase.” According to a witness, “In the middle of the film, a guy who was accompanied by another man, shouted ‘It’s political’. He repeated the sentence at least six times. At first, people laughed, then some asked him to shut up.”

At that point, the man who was shouting stood up and screamed “Allahu akbar.” The witness added: “People then got up in a panic and ran to the exits but the doors were blocked. Some were crying. A mother was looking for her daughter.”
The man who was screaming “Allahu akbar” then “managed to escape the cinema after other moviegoers tried to detain him. Police later arrested him. He was detained on suspicion of ‘apologising for terrorism.’”
No worries, however. No “Islamophobia” was committed. The man wasn’t held even for twenty-four hours: “By Monday evening, the detention had been lifted ‘following a review of behaviour,’ a judicial source told Le Parisien. The 30-year-old was reportedly admitted to the psychiatric ward of the police headquarters.”
This was an odd incident. How is it that in the enlightened, multicultural, diverse Paris of Emmanuel Macron, a theatre packed with people could be so “Islamophobic” as to think something was amiss with a pious Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar”? Will those who fled in panic be brought up on “Islamophobia” charges?
Apparently the English-language establishment media’s full-court press a few years ago to convince Americans that “Allahu akbar” was a benign phrase didn’t get echoed in the French establishment media.
It was a concerted effort. In the New York Daily News, Zainab Chaudry of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) argued that non-Muslims shouldn’t “believe the worst” about “Allahu akbar” because Muslims don’t just scream it while murdering non-Muslims, but use it in a variety of contexts. She even offered this chilling advice, certain to get people killed were it ever heeded: “So the next time you hear Allahu Akbar — whether it’s in a media report, on an airplane, or in a shopping mall, remember that the phrase used by millions of Muslims and Christians daily to praise God regardless of their circumstances, can never be justified for use when harming His creation.” So stay put, evidently; fleeing would be “Islamophobic.”
On CNN around the same time, Omar Suleiman — the imam who prevailed upon Google to alter their search results so as to bury any negative information about Islam — also argued that Muslims say “Allahu akbar” in a variety of contexts, many of them positive. And the New York Times actually tweeted that the phrase “Allahu akbar” had “somehow” become “intertwined with terrorism.”
Somehow! How could this have possibly happened? Could it have anything to do with the thousands of Muslims who have screamed “Allahu akbar” while in the process of murdering infidels?
We live in an age in which perception is forbidden and propaganda prescribed. Those who dare to see what is in front of everyone’s eyes are not imprisoned, at least not yet, but are excoriated, vilified and shunned as racist, bigoted, “Islamophobes,” and their sins transferred to their children and their children’s children. Meanwhile no one even seems to notice the rapid erosion of the freedom of speech, which is the foundation of any free society: the theatregoers in Paris are rare in their willingness to reveal that the scream of “Allahu akbar” made them panic at all. If they had thought about the situation for a moment, at least some of them likely would have stopped and thought, “No, I will not commit professional and personal suicide by showing that the scream ‘Allahu akbar’ bothers me at all. I will not see my career and private life destroyed by charges of bigotry. I will sit here and await my fate.”
And that fate would come to them.

Will the psych ward provide some good ol’ fashioned Chinese style “re-education” a la Uigher treatment? Seriously, how do you rehabilitate, re-educate, reform, whatever you want to call it, a Muslim who bases his violent, deadly, anti-social actions on a deeply held politico-religious ideology like Islam?

You can’t. What makes it worse is they use MUSLIMS for the “rehabilitation”.
Minnesota seems to be a big dumping ground for them from Obama years.
With MUSLIM AG, Keith Ellison, don’t expect much to change. People VOTE Muslims in office.
Experiment with terrorist rehab fails 1st U.S. test
‘De-radicalizing the jihadists doesn’t work, because … ‘
Leo Hohmann By Leo Hohmann
Published May 7, 2017 at 6:51pm
…
The program was developed in Europe and operates on the principles of the “countering violent extremism” or CVE, which is also part of the global, United Nations-supported Strong Cities Network.
Rather than going to prison, Abdullahi Mohamed Yusuf, 21, (from Minnesota) was sentenced in November to a 20-year supervised release. He was granted time served and sent to live in a halfway house. He receives counseling, reports to a probation officer and wears an ankle monitor but is otherwise free to come and go.
But less than six months from the time he was released, Yusuf has already hit a road block.
He was returned to federal custody last week for allegedly failing a polygraph test and watching a documentary about ISIS in Europe.
According to a report by a U.S. probation officer, Yusuf failed a polygraph while under questioning, then admitted to watching CNN’s “ISIS: Behind the Mask,” a film about a Belgian ISIS soldier that was on TV April 18 at his halfway house, the Star-Tribune reported.
The terms of his 20-year supervised release include a provision that Yusuf not “possess, view, access, or otherwise use material that reflects extremist or terroristic views or as deemed to be inappropriate by the U.S. Probation Office.”
It’s all part of a “unique approach to supervising federal terrorism cases,” the Star-Tribune reports. This approach was approved by federal Judge Michael Davis and the U.S. District Court’s Probation and Pretrial Services department, which chose the Minnesota case to introduce the country’s first terrorism “disengagement and deradicalization” program.
The program is based on evaluations and training from German researcher Daniel Koehler, who concluded that Yusuf had “a medium to low risk of future offending and a comparatively advanced stage of disengagement,” according to court filings. ( WHY listen to GERMANY????)
Almost everyone in Minnesota law enforcement is not on board with the controversial program, sources tell WND. And groups that try to educate police on the religious underpinnings of jihad are typically closed out of the discussion.
…
Philip Haney, who spent more than a dozen years screening for jihadists at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security before retiring in 2015, told WND that Minnesota is not the first to experiment with the idea that terrorists can be rehabilitated.
He says it’s been tried many times, in many places, including the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp.
The concept, that religiously motivated terrorists can be reformed, finds its roots in the “countering violent extremism” movement – an approach that began in Europe and was brought to the U.S. by the Obama administration.
“But the bottom line is these programs have been demonstrable failures,” he said. “They started with Saudi Arabia rehabbing Gitmo prisoners, and it’s actually achieved the opposite results.”
According to data released in March, the intelligence community has confirmed a total of 121 former Gitmo detainees have re-entered the battlefield. Another 87 former detainees are suspected of rejoining the ranks of their brother terrorists. The total of 208 confirmed and suspected terrorists makes up 30 percent of all those released from Gitmo.
…
Such attempts completely ignore the original source of inspiration for Islamic violence – the Islamic texts, which include the Quran and hadiths – the reported words and deeds of the prophet Muhammad, Haney said.
…
And Minneapolis, with its large Somali refugee community admittedly struggling with ISIS and al-Shabab “recruitment problems,” was one of three cities the Obama administration chose in 2014 for CVE (countering violent extremism), pilot programs, along with Boston and Los Angeles.
…
Minneapolis was one of four initial U.S. cities to sign up for SCN, (global Strong Cities Network), along with New York, Denver and Atlanta. Since then, six more U.S. cities have joined the global policing network – Aurora, Colorado; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Los Angeles; San Diego; Montgomery County, Maryland; and Louisville, Kentucky.
(I’d bet they most if not ALL are sanctuary cities too run by DEMS..)
…
So the CVE and Strong Cities Network are inexorably linked, both tracing their U.S. points of origin into the heart of the Obama administration and its effort to take the heat off of Islam and place it onto “right wing” terrorists.
…
All of this was done without consulting Congress, or with any apparent consideration of states’ rights, or the Constitution itself, says Haney.
Part of the U.N.’s focus is to cultivate global governance through cities, bypassing nation-states. This was made evident in the New Urban Agenda adopted by the Obama administration and more than 100 other world leaders at the Habitat III Conference last year in Ecuador.
(The U.N is usurping sovereignty from countries and imposing their laws for what I believe is a one world government.)
…
“They have fundamentally transformed counter-terrorism from a law-enforcement-based approach, which treated them as criminals with all the rights of normal defendants and that in itself was the subject of great debate, but Obama took it a step further and transformed the U.S. system from a law-based approach to a civil-rights and civil-liberties approach. So they’ve basically paralyzed our law-enforcement system,” Anderson said.
…
Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, speaking openly at a community forum in St. Cloud in October 2015, told residents that anyone who cannot accept living alongside Somali immigrants “should find another state.” Less than a year later, in September 2016, a Somali refugee went on a stabbing spree at the Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud, injuring 10 people.
…
“What the average citizen does not know is they no longer have reliable law enforcement,” she added. “They don’t know that. Linden Hills is a perfect example of that.
“So this is a country gradually surrendering to Islamic sharia law. We are, already, incrementally surrendering. Former Obama-appointed U.S. attorney for Minnesota, Andrew Luger, several times made public statements that showed his bias toward Muslims and against non-Muslims in Minnesota. “
…
On and on it goes…

Turkey Warns Europe It Is Repatriating All Captured Islamic State Terrorists
By SIMON KENT
3 Nov 2019
The Turkish government has warned its NATO allies in Europe to get ready to receive thousands of Islamic State fighters captured on battlefields in Syria as it begins efforts to repatriate them to their countries of origin.
…
“We are not going to keep them until the end of time,” Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters. “We’re not a hotel for Daesh,” he said, using another name for Islamic State.
He said Turkey would hold captured foreign fighters “for some time. After that we’ll send them back to their countries”.
Soylu said E.U. countries including the Netherlands and Britain had stripped some of the fighters of their nationality to prevent Ankara from sending them home.
“They found an easy solution,” he said. “They say ‘I took his nationality away, it’s your problem now’. That’s unacceptable in our view, that’s totally irresponsible. What do you want me to do with your terrorist?”
…
He claimed the British government’s decision in February to strip them of citizenship was “illegal”, exposing them to “rendition and torture”, Elsheikh said, “being taken to any foreign land and treated in anyway and having nobody to vouch for you”.
The EU wanted Trump to take them. No way! LOL!
Trump left Turkey to deal with them. EU they are YOUR citizens.
Hang them. Do whatever you want with them. They are YOUR problem.

After this muslem jihadist is found “sane”, he should immediately be DEPORTED along with the ENTIRE tribe(family) to a location of the State’s choice. Perhaps in the Kurdish country area.
