Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham, tweeted that Allah and the Christian God are “not the same.” Following the recent jihad attack in Strasbourg, Graham warned that “radical Islam continues to be a major global threat,” an obvious point that nevertheless makes one an “Islamophobe” for stating it. Graham disagrees with the […]
France: Muslim cleric says it’s “impossible” that “Allah allows us to kill someone…Islam is a religion of peace”
The Qur’an forbids Muslims to kill other Muslims (4:92), but of course Cherif Chekatt did not set out in Strasbourg to kill Muslims, but non-Muslims. Kamal Naghchband was, alas, collateral damage, but at his funeral, the imam Eyup Sahin seized the opportunity to enunciate some general principles: “Do you think that Allah allows us to […]
Dutch paper: Strasbourg jihad murderer’s zebibah confirms “exaggerated conversion behavior” that led to his attack
Expect De Telegraaf to be denounced as “Islamophobic” and apologize, but they’re actually correct: not all devout Muslims are violent jihadis, but all violent jihadis are devout Muslims. Counterterror analysts in the U.S. used to consider this, but all that was swept away by Obama’s enforced willful ignorance in 2011. “France is looking to ‘striking […]
France: Strasbourg jihad mass murderer Cherif Chekatt “killed during police operation”
This entire episode should lead the French to do some serious soul-searching about their entire approach to the jihad threat. But it won’t. “Suspected Strasbourg shooter Cherif Chekatt ‘killed during police operation,’” Independent.ie, December 13, 2018: The suspected Strasbourg shooter Cherif Chekatt has reportedly been killed during a police operation.

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Jihad in Strasbourg
Cherif Chekatt reminds Emmanuel Macron that climate change is not the only threat France faces. My latest in FrontPage: Emmanuel Macron, France’s youthful wunderkind, Europe’s poster child for globalism and socialism, has been absorbed lately with furious protests and riots over a confiscatory new tax he placed on gasoline in order to fight what he […]
France: Strasbourg jihadi screamed “Allahu akbar,” Interior Minister still unsure he had “terrorist motivations”
“Deputy Interior Minister Laurent Nunez earlier told Inter radio station that authorities could not confirm that the suspect had ‘terrorist motivations.’” Perhaps to admit the obvious would show Nuñez, and the French authorities in general, to be so catastrophically feckless and willfully ignorant that they just can’t bring themselves to do it. At least Strasbourg […]
France: Strasbourg jihad mass murderer was “radicalized” in practice of Islam, but cops still searching for motive
“The terrorist motivation of the act, as we speak, is not yet established,” said Laurent Nuñez, the deputy interior minister. But Nuñez also said this of Strasbourg jihad mass murderer Cherif Chekatt, who is not referred to by name in this article: “He had several stays in prison, and it is during those stays that […]
France: Strasbourg jihad murderer Cherif Chekatt was born in the city
Initial reports that he was a migrant were apparently incorrect; this Reuters report says Cherif Chekatt was born in Strasbourg. Now authorities should be asking why and how he learned to hate his native land to the extent that he carried out this jihad attack. But they almost certainly won’t. “Gunman kills at least two […]
France: Strasbourg Christmas market jihad mass murderer is Muslim named Cherif Chekatt

Strasbourg terrorist known as “security risk,” cop says “so many people, you can’t keep meaningful surveillance”
The Islamic State (ISIS) years ago announced its intention to mount so many jihad attacks that Western law enforcement and intelligence agencies would not be able to keep up with them all, and would collapse. They’re well on their way to attaining their goal. “Inevitable threat? Strasbourg gunman was on terror watch list, had grenades […]
