Remigration activist Dries Van Langenhove reported Wednesday that “Mohamed Bakkali, the logistical brain behind the Paris and Bataclan attacks that killed 129 and wounded hundreds more, is allowed penitentiary leave by the Brussels court. If Bakkali continues his ‘calm and good behaviour’ according to the court, he could soon be freed indefinitely.”
As unbelievable as it sounds, it’s true: For quite some time now, Bakkali has been breezing in and out of prison at will. The Brussels Signal reported, also on Wednesday, that Bakkali “has been granted multiple temporary prison leaves by a Belgian court. The Brussels Tribunal d’Application des Peines (TAP) approved six penitentiary leaves of up to 36 hours each for the 39-year-old, a Moroccan-Belgian national who is serving his sentence in Ittre prison, a high-security facility in Walloon Brabant. He has already benefited from several short permissions since July 2025.”
What is the point of having a man in a high-security prison if he can take a few days off whenever he wants to, and wander around unnoticed among the unsuspecting native population that he would likely be only too glad to terrorize again?
Bakkali, as “calm” as he is, may still be savoring the memories of the last time he acted to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), when he perpetrated his jihad massacre at the Bataclan theater in Paris on November 13, 2015. The New York Post reported in July 2016 that “the Islamic State terrorists who attacked the Bataclan theater in Paris last November not only killed scores of innocents — they also gouged out the eyes and sliced up the genitals of some of the victims, according to testimony in a disturbing French report.”
The details are unfathomably ghastly: “Some victims’ bodies from the second floor of the theater had been beheaded, eviscerated and otherwise mutilated.” French lawmaker Georges Fenech “said he had heard of one especially grievous account: The father of one victim had told him that his son had been disemboweled and castrated, with his testicles found in his mouth. ‘They had cut off his testicles,’ Fenech said during testimony.”
How could Mohamed Bakkali, or anyone, act with such unimaginable savagery? He likely had no problem doing so, for he had been taught that the unbelievers were “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6), and that non-Muslims are “like cattle, no, they are worse.” (Qur’an 7:179) The Qur’an also says that non-Muslims are “the worst of animals” (8:55).
The Qur’an is clear about how Muslims should treat these vile animals: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (48:29) Ruthless in what way? The Qur’an tells Muslims to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, 4:91) and, just in case that wasn’t clear enough, adds “kill the idolators wherever you find them” (9:5). This includes pretty much everyone, for in the Qur’anic view, virtually every non-Muslim is an idolater.
And why is Bakkali so “calm” now? It’s likely because he knows that a serene demeanor will earn him a pass out of the slammer. It’s also possible that the man is calm because he is at peace with Allah. In the Qur’an, Allah promises to “heal the hearts” of those who fight the unbelievers and thereby allow the deity to punish him at the hands of the believers: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers, and he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-15)
Bakkali punished the unbelievers with particular fury. And now Allah has removed the anger from his heart.
The Belgian authorities would be insane to free this man from prison. It is virtually certain that absolutely nothing has been done while he has been in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments. In fact, those sentiments were likely reinforced, as he was allowed to engage in Islamic prayer with other inmates and read the Qur’an that incited him to violence in the first place. Any other course of action would have been “Islamophobic.”
Belgian authorities were acting upon their total ignorance of Islam and refusal to examine the implications of its violent tenets. And now they’re on the verge of allowing a particularly brutal jihad murderer to walk free and have the opportunity to murder more infidels, because he’s “calm.” Can Western European countries possibly get any more insane and suicidal? Absolutely. Watch this space for the next insane thing Europeans do in the face of the inexorably advancing jihad.
