Paris airport attacker suspected of "Islamist Radicalism"
PARIS — A manpreviously known to French anti-terror authoritieswas fatally shot early Saturday at Orly Airport after struggling to steal a soldier’s gun and earlier assaulting a police officer at a traffic stop in a northeastern Paris suburb. The suspect, whom authorities identified as the French-born Ziyed Ben Belgacem, 39, told the officers he attacked in Orly Airport that he wanted to die “in the name of Allah” and that “whatever happens, there will be deaths." In November 2015 following the deadly Islamic State-orchestrated attacks on Paris, Ben Belgacem’s name had been among those whose homes French authorities searched in connection with an investigation into radicalized networks. France has been under an official state of emergency since November 2015, when a cell of Islamic State militants carried out attacks on a concert hall, a stadium and a number of cafes across Paris.
France is overwhelmed with violence being orchestrated by Muslims of the Islamic State. Yet the Progressive Left in the United States are blind to the violence they are willing to allow into the United States.
America now is a police state with a population of flimsy pancakes on one side and uneducated morons on the other, and in the middle you have (few) sensible, rational people making informed comments and trying to break it up like a parent intervening on tantrum-bound toddlers.
Muslims are dangerous, when they're dangerous. People, are dangerous, when they're dangerous. Criminals are criminals despite their race or religion or gender or whatever the fuck label they have. People do bad shit no-matter where they come from. There are a billion Muslims on the planet, and there are roughly the same number of Christians, and there are Hindus and Sikhs and a thousand other kinds of bullshitters, and they're all fucking stupid to believe that there are mystical creatures that incite virgin births and part water and heal the blind with mud and spit. Infantile morons, the lot of them. But are they all dangerous? No. However, they all have a propensity to believe they have a mandate from God to do whatever the fuck it is they think he wants them to do, which is a problem for people like myself who just want to live generally happy, simple, straightfoward lives: pints with friends, help a stranger, do a good deed a few times a day, find an enjoyable career, speak my mind as much as it benefits a situation, try my hand at variety as the spice of life and attempt to get by without the need to trample over someone else to do it.
But because of this wart-like outgrowth of unintelligent morons who have very loud voices shouting opinions that perfuse the air like the excrement from foul-smelling sphincters, that's becoming exceedingly difficult to do.
What the fuck is wrong with the world?! Why can't everybody sit the fuck down, have a cup of tea and shut the fuck up for a second.
Alas dear fool your your anti-American rhetoric is eclipsed by your embarrassing lack of knowledge on the subjects which you used to spew out your ''hate comments''.
Firstly, there are are 2.2 billion Christians worldwide with some 1.6 billion Muslims.
In a 2005 report, ''The Color of Crime'' by the New Century Foundation it showed the following statistics.
Blacks are 8 times more likely to commit murder than people from other races and 7 times more likely to to commit robbery.
When blacks commit crimes of violence they are 3 times more likely to use a gun than non-blacks and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
Of the 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed in the U.S, involving blacks and whites , blacks commit 75% and whites 15%.
Blacks commit more crimes against whites than blacks with the ratio being 45% against whites and 42% black on black and 10% on Hispanics.
Only 10% of youth gangs are white.
Hispanics commit violent crimes at a rate of approximately 3 times the white rate and Asians commit violent crimes at one quarter of the white rate.
So, the Asians are at, or close to the top of the well behaved league.
In 2015 The Department of Justice released crime figures by category for the period 2012-2013. these were;- A black is 27 times more likely to attack a white person and 8 times more likely to attack a Hispanic then the other way around.
''RAPES'';- Recorded statistics show that between the period 2001-2003 there were an average of 15,400 Black-on White rapes. There are no recorded instances of White-on-Black rape.
The statistics go on but filth like you aren't interested in facts.
You and your kind will wallow in the imagined perceptions of your own sick and twisted minds and will never let the truth deflect you from your shocking prejudice and bigotry.
Your own Prime Minister, Theresa May and her Tory ministers are, quite rightly, every bit as nationalistic as Donald Trump.
The liberal left wing loonies, such as you, with their ''open border policy', are the reason why Europe is experiencing Muslim terrorist incidents which has killed 100s of people in the past two years and other Muslim related incidents such as the attack on Orly Airport in Paris yesterday.
Welfarism and the Nanny State has bred the work ethic and industrial innovation as well as the fighting spirit out of you powder-puff Brits and have relied on the Yanks to extricate you from an embarrassing catalogue of mishaps and military disasters.
World beating industries which your Victorian grandfathers established and led the world have either been bought over by foreign rivals or let wither away by your 'lack lustre' business leaders.
Where is the Rover Automobile Group? Who owns Jaguar?
Who owns Cadburys? The list of takeovers is endless.
The nation which built the world's first Nuclear Reactor has had to plead with the French and Chinese to build the next generation of reactors to keep the lights on and the wheels of your industries turning.
It's a real shame that brilliant and persuasive philosophers such as you were not around during the 1930s when the Nasis in Germany were gaining power.
Using your outstanding powers of persuasive argument you would have heard Hitler saying. hey, Hermann Goring, Himmler, quick look I've just read this article by Sean B and I think instead of embarking on WW2 we should all sit down, have a nice wee cup of steaming hot tea and a chocolate biscuit;- 'roars of laughter from the back stalls.
Pop over to North Korea, expansionist China or belligerent Russia and spout out your your bullshit dogma to these regimes.
Your use of profanities sums you up in a nutshell.
Despite shitheads( and, make no mistake, you're the Patron Saint of shitheads) like you, the special relationship between the U.S, and the U.K will remain strong and serve as a force for good as it has for over 100 years.
What you're implying is that genetics directly determine behaviour: specifically, that being black or Afro-American makes you more likely to be a criminal. The first notion, I can appreciate, but the second is daft, particularly when you attempt to equate African Americanism with Islamism.
First of all: not all Muslims are black, second, relatively very few are Afro-American. Third, terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists in the US account for a small minority in comparison to white schoolboy shootings, extreme left terrorism, white supremacist terrorist attacks and Jewish terror. Fourth, out of all the countries Donald Trump tried to ban immigration from earlier this year, none -- zero -- of the terrorist attacks carried out in the US between 1980 and 2015 were perpetrated by people born in those countries.
And fifth, Hitler was, if you remember, quite white. In fact, in this regard, throughout history, white-run civilizations -- from the European Papacy through the Romans to the British Empire to Stalin's USSR -- have killed monumentally more people than have black-led civilizations.
Your hypotheses on black skin equating to higher biological propensity for crime are a perfect example of narrow analysis, and assuming that correlation equals causation. Black skin socially means higher likelihood of systematic social isolation, impoverishment, prejudice and oppression. Not ancient history ago were black people in the USA still in chains. So if you want to talk about the morality and civility of white people, I'm afraid you're very much on the back-foot. It's proven all over the world that the single greatest determiner to criminality is poverty. Where poverty increases, violence and crime increase. It's two fold: one, judicial practice is defined by those with power, currently centralized in economic wealth, two: the levels of impoverishment can be and are heavily directly linked to political decision making.
If you want to cut crime, you cut poverty. If you want to cut poor education, you remove barriers to education. If you want to further social cohesion, you give equal rights and equal treatment -- both in theory and in practice -- to everybody.
Like so many other shitheads the facts don't mean anything to you so you and your type try to rewrite history and make fake excuses for the failings of the black man.
Blacks cannot compete successfully in the white man's world so they become frustrated, that frustration turns to resentment which develops into anger and then onto violence.
Generally speaking blacks do not have the temperament to apply themselves to the discipline of a formal education so a disproportionate % of them leave the education system without any qualifications. This greatly reduces their chances of securing gainful employment so they turn to crime to finance their druggy lifestyles.
Where are the industries, the financial institutions and international corporations created by blacks?
Rhetorical question as we all know they don't exist.
All unprejudiced and rational people will recognize that almost every invention/discovery which has gone to advance and improve the welfare of mankind has been made by whites.
The computer you're using, the language in which you're communicating, the internet, electricity, the light bulb, television, the radio, radar, the camera, the microscope, the telescope, the telephone, photocopiers, the internal combustion engine, the diesel engine, space going rockets, the automobile, the submarine, navigational aids, ocean going liners, sonar, high yield farming methods, modern building techniques and materials, anesthetics, antiseptics, the necessity for hygiene, penicillin, most life saving and pain relieving drugs along with surgical operating procedures, the list is endless.
Do you really believe that the absence of any meaningful contribution in the field of scientific discovery or innovation inventiveness is just a coincidence?
The only time blacks enjoy a comparatively reasonable standard of living is when they live in a countries with white, or predominately white administrations.
When they're left to their own devices even oil rich Bongo nations such as Nigeria experience hardships which with a little forward planning based on past experience and the application of proper executive government could have been avoided.
Instead we're bombarded with images of sad eyed Bongo children accompanied with hard luck stories read by orators explaining in plaintiff tones how these poor children with stupid, useless parents, just as they've been since the dawn of time.
Due to the inability of the Bongo to fend for themselves the money sponge which is Africa will never change.
Their begging bowls will always be pointing west, they will always be drinking contaminated water which poisons them and trying to grow crops in barren and arid conditions, again, as they've be doing, unsuccessfully for centuries.
Where was the black's curiosity to explore and discover the world in which they lived?
Where was their sense of wonderment at the stars of the universe and their ability to develop technology with which to answer the million mysteries of cosmos?
Once more, rhetorical questions, as it was, and still is only a matter of;- monkey look, monkey see, end of story.
Why didn't the black nations of Africa go on voyages of discovery and find Europe and exploit the natives?
All the aforementioned indisputable facts mean nothing to those who do not wish to see, so once again I'll permit you to wallow in your self imposed ignorance and remain forever in a state of bewilderment and confused denial bellowing on about how the Bongo should be given the opportunity to better education, an education which most of them don't want nor could benefit from.
Where is it etched in stone that whites owe the blacks anything and we have a responsibility to continually endure their violence which is a congenital characteristic of their psyche'.
The blacks must recognise that the onus is on them to 'up their game' and contribute more positively to the societies in which they live.
Language is first recorded in black cultures. Electricity was discovered by Persians. Blacks gave us algebra, astronomy, stonecraft, the kiln, metallurgy, the needle, wheels, sailing, written language, bronze, paper, docks, alphabets, drills, scissors, currency, swords, glass, lighthouses, cranes, canals, irrigation, the windmill, universities, numerical zero, hospitals and the ambulance, soap, early mathematics, surgery, complex architecture, mineral mining, the concept of law, international trading, electrical filaments, pacemakers, telegraphs, 3D graphics, gasmasks, the X-ray spectrometer, chemical synthesis, refrigeration, elevators, ultraviolet spectrographs, blood donation and transfusion, dynamic and condensing microphones, cardiopads, visual art and music.
While the primitive Bongos and ancestors of Muslims were building huge civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt, white Europeans were freezing to death and eating each other.
I was born in Ireland and I remember when the Brits in their uniforms were trampling all over Irish people. I remember when an Irish republican couldn't get a job because some fucking moron decided that Protestant Loyalists would run the majority of industry. And I remember watching Irish people fight back. They were violent times, and impoverished times. And once the Brits and their khaki minions fucked off out of my country and quit oppressing its people and usurping its resources, you know what happened? The violence swiftly ended; the Republican population swiftly regained standing; the Catholic demographic of the country quickly found jobs and garnered educations. Now, it's a relatively peaceful place.
When you have a history of the systematic enslavement, rape, subjugation, oppression and theft of infrastructure and resources by Western countries upon the African continent -- just like the historical genocides and enslavements of the Irish by the Brits -- you make a rod for your own back. The same can be said of the Middle East, with the centuries long appropriation of their lands and subjugations of their peoples. From the British Empire and the French Colonial powers and their genocides, and BP's thefts in Iran, and the propping up of the Shah, and Savak, all the way back to the Belgian Congolese genocides and the South African apartheid and to the formation of an forced state in Palestinian and Ottoman land.
The issue isn't blacks. It's crusty white morons like yourself who think they own the world. White people didn't invent philosophy, science, art, music, or literature: they simply invented more efficient methods of killing people than "The Bongos" could conceive of, then turned them towards humans of different colour.
I know what it's like to have hardship in life, and not hardship like "someone on the internet doesn't agree with my mighty-whitey political and social opinions", I mean dodging beatings and bullets and feeling and being oppressed. A selfish, conceited, unempathetic moron like yourself, someone who can't understand or appreciate poverty or powerlessness because he's spent his entire life coddled in some fucking solipsist delusion of his own stinking grandeur, will never be able to understand humanity, or justice, or fairness. He's too busy sniffing his own farts.
Keep pretending you're the strong, wise, smart one. But we both know you're a coddled little weakling.; an ignorant, spoiled, priveliged, heartless, senseless little spineless racist bitter waste of breath.
Read the end of your rant and yes it is a tell all. Progressives just have to use racist in every form of rant. If that is all you got you are losing in any conversation.
Do you know the definition of racist, you buffoon? Out of everything I said, you choose one word, one word that completely describes, fits and characterizes this man's attitude towards black people, and then refuse to accept what it is.
Racism has fueled the Progressive Party for years. You should really learn some history then you might be able to engage with some type of intelligence.
"Learn some history" .. "racism has fuelled the progressive party for years"... yea ... naw, I'm content to watch you destroy your country for now. I'll be here, with popcorn and cheers.
Racism - noun -- prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
London or any other part of the UK presents an obvious target for Islamic terrorists, more so than Germany given the UK’s high-profile involvement as the closest military ally of the US.
UK intelligence agencies repeatedly warn that it is just a matter of time before a British target is hit. In a rare speech earlier this month, Alex Younger, the head of the UK’s overseas intelligence agency MI6, described the threat posed by groups such as Islamic State or its sympathisers as “unprecedented”.
One of the most alarming warnings came last year from Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former British army officer and chemical weapons expert, who raised the risk of Isis mounting a chlorine attack in the London Underground, similar to the sarin attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995.
Not all Muslims are Terrorist but all Terrorist are Muslim
There is no radical Islam. Muhammad was a psychopath, their teacher, their role model, their "great prophet", is infallable in Islam, and was a child molester. He also preached child brides and genital mutilation. He beheaded thousands of people as well. Islam itself is radical and extreme and evil. There is no moderate Islam. If it is moderate, it isn't Islam by Quranic definition per Muhammad's own commands. Even the so called "moderates" slit the throats of live animals on Hajj and practice self mutilation when in mourning and on certain Islamic holidays, just like the Baal worshippers of old. It's a cult of death.
All the more reason for serious vetting of immigrants and refugees, but no the liberals would rather allow Islamic extremists into our country with a hug and a handshake despite the obvious threats these people impose. France is a perfect example of liberal policies and how they lack common sense.
