“The episode, particularly shocking for those who witnessed it, caused more fear than harm.”
“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“A young armed Guinean shouts ‘Allah Akbar’ in the middle of the street in Troyes,” translated from “Un jeune Guinéen armé crie «Allah Akbar» en pleine rue à Troyes,” by Albane Wurtz, L’est Éclair, November 21, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
On Monday November 20, a minor of Guinean origin was arrested in the area of Avenue des Lombards in Troyes. He was armed with a knife, threatening passers-by and shouting “Allah Akbar.”
On Monday November 20, a horrific incident took place on the Avenue des Lombards in Troyes, in the immediate vicinity of student accommodation. A young man of Guinean origin, a single minor accommodated in a nearby shelter, had initially attacked one of the educators at the centre that was taking him in. The man managed to defend himself, whereupon the young man left the premises.
He was wearing a traditional religious garment and then went out onto the public street. Armed with several knives, one of which had a fairly large blade, he shouted threats at passers-by who encountered him. He also shouted “Allah Akbar,” causing immediate panic.
As soon as they were informed, the police quickly arrived on site and arrested him. Taken to the police station, he was placed in police custody.
Fortunately, the episode, particularly shocking for those who witnessed it, caused more fear than harm. No injuries were reported.
This Tuesday, November 21, both the City of Troyes and the Aube prefecture congratulated the police through press releases.

Throwing them in prison only makes it worse
Deport them already

I don’t think that letting Jihadists know that they will never face prison time makes sense–this wll just embolden them, and set up a system where Muslims receive different and preferential treatment. Then, citizens cannot be deported.
FYI says
“allahu akbar” does not mean..
“Why can’t we all just get along?”
“Group hug!C’mon people let’s feel the love”
“Peace and love to all infidels”
It means you are going to be attacked.It also can me “Shoot me i’m a muslim nutjob” if you like.I mean if you want it to..sure..

Fear itself can also cause harm.
