Whether or not what Oliver Hadzovic is saying about his motive is true, he will be displayed as Exhibit A of “Islamophobia” in France. His heinous crime, whatever his motive, will be the justification for all manner of measures in France to restrict and silence, and even criminalize, criticism of Islam.
“Suspect in French mosque murder arrested in Italy, denies anti-Islam motive,” France 24, April 28, 2025:
The man suspected of killing a Muslim worshipper in a mosque in France on Friday and filming his victim writhing in agony has surrendered to police in Italy. The 21-year-old’s lawyer said that the murder did not have an anti-Islam motive and that the suspect had “killed the first person he saw”.
A man suspected of stabbing a young Malian to death in a mosque in southern France and then filming his victim writhing in agony has surrendered to police in Italy, French and Italian authorities said on Monday.
But the suspect, named by Italian police as 21-year-old Oliver Hadzovic but identified by French prosecutors as Olivier A., was not motivated by hatred of Islam, his lawyer told AFP.
Giovanni Salvietti said he had told investigators he had “killed the first person he saw” and that “he has said nothing against Islam nor mosques”.
The killing of Aboubakar Cissé on Friday in a French village caused shock, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to say there was no place for religious hate in French society and Prime Minister François Bayrou to denounce an “Islamophobic” crime….

The VAST majority of murders or physical attacks are caused by Muslims on ” infidels ” as ordered by their religion. So why is THIS highlighted
Raja says
Whether the truth comes out or not we can expect a nasty reaction to this murder as the Muslims across the world will think: how dare he did to a Muslim? and the Western elites will respond: Amen. The West will loathe the idea that how did this fellow do the unthinkable?

That name sounds Bosnian. Was he a Bosnian non-muslim who took it out on a muslim in a mosque given everything he had witnessed in his home country?
Raja says
Good question Infidel.
Nera says
They never “condemn both sides” and even less their own side because they actually want to win.
GE says
Can’t they use the same excuse that they use for a Muslim
when an attack is made on a non-Muslim?
“Perpetrator reported to have mental health issues”?
If it’s good for one side, should be good for the other—am I right? 🤷♀️
Patrick says
YES, you are correct!
OLD GUY says
Mental illness could be spreading from the Muslim/islamic population via the gang rapes of non islamic women. This young mans response to his crime sounds just like those coming from mentally ill muslim killers.
James Lincoln says
In a sane country, this would be a capital case.
