Paris, December 2, 2023. 9 pm. A man shouting “Allahu Akbar!” (“Allah is the greatest!”) stabbed a German tourist walking along the Seine near the Eiffel Tower, an area considered safe. On the way to the hospital, the victim died. The murderer, again shouting, “Allahu Akbar!”, attacked two more people, seriously wounding them, before the police arrested him. A government press release quickly mentioned that the killer was a French citizen, born in France, with the exceedingly French first name of Armand.

Staff have gone on strike at a school near Paris saying they fear for their lives after Muslim pupils and parents voiced anger towards a teacher who displayed a Renaissance painting of nude women.

After the recent murders of two teachers by jihadi terrorists, staff at the middle school at Issou, on the Seine west of Paris, are worried that they too could be attacked.

Nearly 4 in 10 Muslim students in France opted against unequivocally condemning the stabbing of teacher Dominique Bernard by an Islamist extremist on Oct. 13 in recent polling.

The Ifop survey asked a weighted sample of 1,805 students in French state education between the ages of 15 and 17 the following: “A teacher, Dominique Bernard, was murdered by an Islamist of Ingush origin in a high school in Arras. When you think of the perpetrator of this assassination, what is your reaction?”

They’re just being good Muslims. Murder pleases Allah.

Six youngsters in France have been convicted of their roles in the savage killing of Samuel Paty after false accusations generated a storm online

Just 14 minutes before he stabbed and decapitated Samuel Paty, a French school teacher he felt deserved to die for the sin of blasphemy, Abdoullakh Anzorov made a last check that he was about to kill the right man.

It was a Friday afternoon in October 2020, and the Chechen-born Islamist was standing near a school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a sleepy suburban town northwest of Paris. He was talking to a group of five boys, aged 14 and 15, to whom he had promised a €300 (£257) reward for pointing out their teacher to him as he walked home after class.

Six teenagers have been convicted in France for their roles in the 2020 beheading of teacher Samuel Paty.

Mr Paty was killed outside his school in Paris after showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a class on freedom of expression.

A teenage girl was found to have lied about what happened in class, while five others were guilty of identifying Mr Paty to his attacker.

The sentences from 14 months to two years are all suspended or commuted.

The dark series of crimes inflaming French public opinion continues with a murder in the heart of the capital on Saturday night, December 2nd. Once again, controversy has erupted over the identity of the assailant, which the media and the political class were at pains to conceal in order to avoid facing up to the harsh realities of Islamism and immigration.

The attack took place in southwest Paris, not far from the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. A German tourist was killed, and two other people were injured. The German tourist suffered several blows to the head, back, and shoulders. Two other people were injured in the attack. One of them, an English tourist, was hit in the eye with a hammer.

Saturday’s was another symbolic terror attack, perpetrated at France’s most iconic landmark

There was more bloodshed in Paris this weekend, this time involving a man who, prosecutors claim, had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (IS). A German tourist was killed as he strolled close to the Eiffel Tower with his wife during the attack on Saturday evening. Two other passers-by, including a Briton, were wounded by the assailant, who French interior minister Gerald Darmanin said shouted “Allahu Akbar” and ranted about Muslims dying in Afghanistan and Palestine as he launched his deadly assault. Police used a stun gun to stop the man who is being questioned by anti-terror police.

The perpetrator of the terrorist attack in Paris on Saturday, December 2nd, was clearly a dangerous criminal who many warned had the potential to commit an act of violence, but despite having him ‘under surveillance,’ the French authorities could not prevent him from killing.

The mother of a man suspected of stabbing a German tourist to death near the Eiffel Tower in Paris reported concerns about her son weeks before the attack, a prosecutor has said.

Two others, including a British man, were injured in the attack on Saturday.

A 26-year-old French man was later arrested, and anti-terrorism prosecutors opened an investigation.

France’s interior minister said there was a “failure” in the alleged attacker’s psychiatric treatment.

Two weeks have passed since the murder of Thomas in Crépol, and the case—the subject of a vast enterprise of political manipulation—has found new heralds. The mayor of the town of Romans-sur-Isère, who is politically classed as ‘miscellaneous Right’ (divers droite), i.e., on the Right but with no party affiliation, has decided to raise her voice to defend the facts and what she has been subjected to for so many years in her municipality. She now faces a death threat.

PARIS (AP) — Six teenagers go on trial Monday in Paris for their alleged roles in the beheading of a teacher who showed caricatures of the prophet of Islam to his class, a killing that led authorities to reaffirm France’s cherished rights of expression and secularism.

Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher, was killed on Oct. 16, 2020, near his school in a northwest Paris suburb by an 18-year-old of Chechen origin who had become radicalized. The attacker was in turn shot dead by police.

A newly released study shows, for the first time in French history, that the second most widely spoken language in the country is dialectal Arabic, with an estimated population of between three and four million speakers. The resulting population ratio in favour of people mainly of North African origin is fraught with consequences.
