French authorities, and authorities all over the West, treat behavior that is obviously motivated by the teachings of Islam about jihad, and its sanctification of violence, as a mental illness rather than a threat. This is because they are so cowed and terrified by the prospect of charges of “Islamophobia,” and so abjectly ignorant of the actual teachings of Islam, that they assume that Islam simply cannot possibly be the motivation for jihad terror and jihad-related activity. They therefore have to look for that motivation elsewhere.
“Removed from a roundabout where he was praying, he hit a police officer: 3 months in prison,” translated from “Délogé d’un rond-point sur lequel il priait, il avait frappé un policier : 3 mois de prison ferme,” Ouest France, September 13, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
On June 26, as night fell, a young man was surprised by passers-by in the middle of the theater roundabout, in the city center of Saumur, praying while shouting Allah Akbar. Alerted, a police patrol went there to ask him to leave the premises. But the welcome given to him is rather virulent: interrupted in his prayer, the 25-year-old faithful Muslim does not want to know anything.
As they tried to remove him, the police officers were attacked and one of them was hit in the face. He has a fractured nose and broken teeth (2 days of ITT). Placed in police custody, the man had to be quickly hospitalized under duress due to his very aggressive behavior in the cell. A psychiatric assessment was ordered, initially not revealing any impairment of his judgment.
Placed in police custody again in mid-July, upon his release from hospital, the man of Senegalese origin and holder of an Italian passport (he was in Saumur to work as a seasonal worker) was summoned to court to answer for his actions. He was tried for these acts of violence on Tuesday September 12 by the Saumur court which considered his psychotic disorders to be real.
The public prosecutor, Alexandra Verron, requested a 10-month prison sentence and a ban on appearing in Maine-et-Loire. The court finally sentenced him to 6 months in prison, 3 of which were suspended. He was kept in detention.

Cultural enrichment.

The Saumur Court is quite right. The young man is suffering from a psychotic disorder. He is a Muslim.

This is a little off topic, but it is similar. In Colorado, a young man killed two people in two separate unprovoked knife attacks. He wasn’t angry, but simply killed them as a sense of duty. He stabbed both victims (he didn’t know them) in the neck. It doesn’t seem that he is Muslim, but this type of an attack is so Islamic in nature that it smells like a recent convert to Islam. https://kdvr.com/news/local/crime-stoppers-person-stabbed-to-death-on-rtd-bus-in-denver/.

It appears that islamic countries are dumping their mentally challenged people and criminals on the unsuspecting open borders countries. Now that is diversity for you.

Since 100 per cent of them are mentally unstable we can expect a lot more. And our leaders will let them in. Oh, yippee!!
