Clearly Abdallah A.O. believed his murders were a holy act, an act performed in service to the god who commands his followers to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5). That is, however, the one aspect of this case, like so many others, that all investigators and other authorities will discount, even though it is the key to everything that happened. How long can France, how long can the West, survive this willful ignorance?
An update on this story. “Terror suspect shouting ‘Alluhu [sic] Akbar’ stabs two to death in French town locked down by coronavirus lockdown then yells ‘kill me’ as he is arrested by armed police,” by Peter Allen, MailOnline, April 4, 2020:
A Sudanese refugee was in custody in France today after stabbing two people to death and wounding seven others in a suspected lone wolf terrorist attack during the coronavirus lockdown.
The bloodbath took place in the town of Romans-sur-Isère, which is south of the eastern city of Lyon, late on Saturday morning.
It corresponded to numerous suicidal knife attacks carried out by Islamic State-linked terrorists in France in recent years.
This time, the 33-year-old – who has been identified as Abdallah A.O – was heard to shout ‘Alluhu Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is the Greatest’ – before lashing out with a blade.
When police arrived the man screamed ‘Kill me! Kill me!’, but the officers were able to arrest him without harming him.
France’s Interior Minister Christophe Castener later described how the man – who arrived from Sudan a few months ago but who was not previously known to police – attacked his victims in a bakery, a tobacconist and then out on the street, before police intervened at around 11am.
France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors said Abdallah had been seeking asylum in the country despite ‘complaining about living in a country of non-believers’.
A spokesman for the office said: ‘During a search carried out at his home, police found handwritten documents with religious connotation in which the author of the lines complains in particular of living in a country of non-believers.’…
The Sudanese are one of the biggest groups seeking asylum in France, with many feeling violence and extreme poverty in the Darfur region, as well as political persecution….
‘He was found on his knees on the pavement praying in Arabic,’ the prosecutor’s office said.
‘Anyone who had the misfortune to find themselves in his way were attacked,’ town mayor Marie-Helene Thoraval told AFP….
One was stabbed in the bakery, before the attacker discarded his original knife, and then went into the butchers to pick up another one.
He then continued with his lethal rampage, jumping over a shop counter and sticking the butcher’s knife into a victim’s neck.
The man then ran out into the street and appeared to lash out at random at anyone in his way.
When police arrived he put his hands in the air and then asked to be shot.
‘He shouted at the police to kill him,’ said David Oliver, a spokesman for the Alliance national police union. ‘All the ingredients for a terrorist act are there for us.’…
Mihcael Copeland says
‘All the ingredients for a terrorist act are there for us.’
It may take them a very long time even so to recognise this as such.

Jihads like this one are occurring every day in France … you would think the French police would be able to recognize jihad by now !
There could be 50,000 motivated jihadists in France. That is more than the total troops of many medium sized countries.
They just need someone to recruit them.
David says
What would people say if the Bible contained verses which said ” In future times, there will come a deadly religion, and it adherents must all be killed for the sake of mankind”?
There would probably be a lot of complaints, to put it mildly. However, there aren’t such verses. That is the difference between Islam and Christianity
Lookmann says
We hear this all too often. The IS men of Iraq/Syria, Grooming gang members of UK and lone wolves like these quoting Koran to justify their violence/rape. But then learned men like John Kerry, Pope(present) say Islam, a religion advocating peace is misunderstood by these men. Who to believe ?
Muslims know Islam better than these fake[ stupid] experts, I believe.
mortimer says
Disagree, Un-Looking, Un-Observant man, Muslims know that JIHAD is ARD AL-AYN and ARD AL-KIFAYA.
Here is the Official Definition of Jihad according to Saudi Arabia:
“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – footnotes on p.39, ‘The Noble Koran’, published by King Fahd Complex for Publication of the Quran, Madinah, KSA.
mortimer says
Disagree, Un-Looking, Un-Observant man, THE TOP SCHOLARS OF ISLAM agree that ISIS is following PURE SALAFIST ISLAM … read and weep …
A LEADING SAUDI CLERIC ENDORSES ISIS DOCTRINES – “ISIS IS A TRUE PRODUCT OF SALAFISM” – Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani
– Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani (former imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca), has said that the Islamic State (IS) group follows the same brand of Islam as officially espoused by Saudi Arabia.
“We follow the same thought [as IS] but apply it in a refined way,” he said. “They draw their ideas from what is written in our own books, from our own principles.”
The cleric said that “we do not criticise the thought on which it (IS) is based”.
AL AZHAR UNIVERSITY’S GRAND IMAM ENDORSED ISIS TEACHINGS:
Dr. Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Sheikh and Grand Imam of Al Azhar said, “Al Azhar cannot accuse any [Muslim] of being a kafir [infidel], as long as he believes in Allah and the Last Day—even if he commits every atrocity,” adding: “I cannot denounce ISIS as un-Islamic, but I can say that they cause corruption on earth. ISIS believes that those [Muslims] who commit the great sins are kafirs and can be killed. Thus if I denounce them of being un-Islamic, I fall into the same [trap] I am now condemning.”

Mortimer, why are you sneering at Lookman? He accurately understands Islam, and rightly indicates that those like John Kerry and the Pope do not.
mortimer says
correction: FARD AL-AYN and FARD AL-KIFAYA.
David says
Do I detect a touch of cynicism and sarcasm in your remarks?(lol) This follows the current style of Robert Spencer. To quote Annie Lennox “Who am I to disagree?”

My comment was addressed to Lookmann.
Mike Stevens says
Sudanese are like Somalis, the most dangerous and unwelcome of all so-called “refugees”, being low IQ (and thus virtually unemployable) black African, AND strict Muslim, with all the problems and dangers that brings. As the innocent people of a French town have found to their cost.
But to the ‘diversity/multiculturalism/political correctness brigade, they are the dream ticket and can do no wrong – being black African AND Muslim, those two most desirable of categories.
Ray Jarman says
It was Christians in the Darfur region that were slaughtered not Muslims. I guess that since the Christian population has destroyed in Darfur, this savage and others traveled to France to find even more Christians, or at least nonbelievers, to kill for his Allah. There is absolute no grounds for any Muslim from Sudan to claim refugee status.
Mike Stevens says
Indeed. These are not like genuine refugees of the past, as in, say, after the Second World War when millions were on the move – but civilised people moving to be with other civilised people, with shared values, ready to contribute and integrate, grateful for the opportunity to be given a new life. They were the innocent victims of the aftermath of the Nazi attempt to dominate the world.
Almost without exception, the “new” refugees are fleeing countries which are hellholes of their own making, because of their inability (and unwillingness) to co-exist peacefully. In the Muslim world and black Africa, the first response to conflict is not to sit round a negotiating table, but to immediately resort to violence.
And unlike past refugees, they are not grateful, or willing to integrate and contribute. Nor do they share any of our values. This Sudanese savage is a perfect example.
James Lincoln says
Excellent post, Mike.
mortimer says
Muslims hate all kafirs because Allah commands them to hate kufr and kufaar.
mortimer says
DOES ISLAM HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH TERRORISM?
Quote: “He then continued with his lethal rampage, jumping over a shop counter and sticking the butcher’s knife into a victim’s NECK.”
Koran 8:12 “I will cast TERROR into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so STRIKE upon the NECKS and strike from them every fingertip.”
Coincidence? Or cause and effect?
David says
Mortimer, he was only doing what every ‘good’ muslim should do, except the fingertip command.
Michael Copeland says
Dear President Macron,
This, you say, is “an odious act”.
It is in compliance with the commands of Islam.
How do you now categorise Islam?

Yes–hideous story.
Giacomo Latta says
”complaining about [his] living in a country of non-believers”
I don’t suspect the globalists/human traffickers responsible for his being in France bothered to inform the aforementioned terrorist that his fate was to be surrounded by filthy kuffir on a daily basis, but I would have assumed that French authorities would have been ready with a handy brochure that would tell him so. Now, instead of the cost of a ticket back to where he came from the French are saddled with costs pertaining to hospitalization, imprisonment, medication, deprogramming (calling Dr. mortimer!) and endlessly so on.
David says
This man is a tortured soul. He knew he would need to die, to become a martyr, so that he would go as promised by Muhammad (I mean Allah) to Paradise. His plan was thwarted, by kind-hearted police.
In the UK recently, two attackers were granted their wishes and were duly shot on the spot.Paradise awaits(Or probably not)
Oscar Pearson says
Make sure he is executed!
