Terrorist attack in France
Fox News reports that a terrorist is holed up in a supermarket in Trebes after ambushing a group of policemen who were jogging near Carcassonne, France this morning;
The gunman then took shelter inside the supermarket in Trebes and reportedly yelled “Allahu Akbar!” which roughly translates to “God is Great!” in Arabic.
The suspect also reportedly said “he is ready to die for Syria” and demanded Abdeslam be released from custody. Abdeslam is the lone surviving member of an ISIS terror cell behind the deadly 2015 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people at a theatre, the national stadium and cafes.
Two people are dead and twelve are injured. The gunman has released all of the hostages except one police officer.
Too bad the French don’t have draconian gun control laws that would have prevented this terrorist from possessing a rifle.

Those pesky Amish folks again. Even in France.
Have you ever tried calling Amish Tech Support?
Brother Elijah is the worst.
One time I made a mistake and asked them for help assembling an IKEA cabinet.
Started cussing me out in Aulde Aenglish.
Huh, and all this time I thought the Amish spoke Aulten Deutsch.
Poor guy was just looking for the Hawaiian-themed snack bar and was snubbed by a Frenchman because of his atrocious accent. /s
Isn’t it odd how those draconian laws, constant surveillance, and socialist policies still fail to stop folks from killing people? And isn’t it odd the mental contortions the DNC and other Socialists engage in to argue that if we just did things their way, all would be unicorns and rainbows?
“…Socialists engage in to argue that if we just did things their way, all would be unicorns and rainbows?”
And a hundred + years and millions of lives they STILL haven’t gotten it right. Wonder why?
Because these particular Socialists were not the ones in charge, of course. Duh!
/jk
Talk about a religion that demands blind faith and unquestioning obedience, and Socialism says “Here I am!”
A fine example of gun control laws preventing bad guys from getting scary black rifles! Oh, wait…
The covert pipeline of military ordnance flowing from the Balkans to mozzie terrorists in Western Europe continues unabated, draconian gun bans or not…
Whatever “Allahu Akbar!” might have meant to peace-loving Muslims (both of them), it is now linked inseparably to murdering terrorist bastards immediately before they kill or try to kill. Consequently, I hold the words in deep disdain and wish nothing but the worst for the bastards who utter them.
I read one account by someone much more familiar – in a first-hand manner – with the culture than I wherein they claimed the proper translation of “Allahu Akbar” is “God is Greatest” – and the implication being that whatever the speaker is confronting is contra Allah and so to be destroyed or subjugated.
That is, it should be understood not as “God is great [and so are a number of other things]” but “God is greatest [and you and your beliefs are trash.]”
I thought Ali was the greatest. He used to say so, anyway.
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”
He was one egotistical jerk, but he was the greatest boxer of his time, and could back up his brag with action. I think he mellowed with time – or the “egotistical jerk” may have all been an act.
I was a Smokin’ Joe Frazier man. Once Joe got inside, it was lights out. Man could he punch.
I liked Smokin’ Joe, too. And like George Foreman even more.
There were some good boxers in the ring back then.
Hey was a draft dodging mooslime too.. no matter how good a boxer he was, that was enough to make me have no respect at all for the man. and yeah, on top of that, he was egotistical as hell
Correct “akbar” in context is “greatest”/”supreme”.
There is a second part that translates as ” and Mohammed is the prophet of Allah”.
The phrase, either version, is one of absolute supremacy.
The only iron-clad requirement to be a Muslim is to recite the full version of that phrase, in Arabic verbatim, three times before witnesses.
Fake news, guns are not allowed in Europe.
Allahu Akbar mean “allah is greater”
As is allah is greater than your God. And allows us to do this.
Is too!
Is not!
Too. Too. Too…
Not. Not. Not. Not…
The whole “72 virgins” thing always seemed to me like the whole religion was tailored towards rapists, but what do I know?
allah also promises young boys for sex in “paradise” too.
‘Gunman in French hostage situation shot dead by police after killing at least 2’
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/03/23/gunman-holds-hostages-in-french-supermarket-claims-allegiance-to-isis-1-dead-reports-say.html
“The gunman who killed at least 2 people before barricading himself inside a supermarket in southern France, has been fatally shot by police.
The announcement came just minutes after French President Emmanuel Macron said the incident appears to be a terrorist attack.”
“The suspect was identified as Redouane Lakdim, 26, a petty criminal and small-time drug dealer who was said to be radicalized and under police surveillance, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said.”
Damn fine thing he was under surveillance; otherwise he may have caused trouble. How about instead of surveilling these assholes, deport them? Hondo’s Rat Islands would be a good choice, as anyone who has been to Adak can appreciate.
How’s that tight gun control working out for you Pepe?
Give the French their due: both their population and government in general acknowledge the threat from radical Islam and take measures to mitigate same.
In the US, much of the population ignores that same threat. Some ignore it because they’re ignorant or oblivious; some because they’re in denial; and the rest do so willfully because it doesn’t “fit the narrative”.
Hondo, fair comment. But for most of Europe the barn door has been open far too long for meaningful mitigation. They do call a spade a spade though. You are correct wrt the US population. God forbid we offend anyone
Call a spade a spade over in most European countries will get you prison time for hate speech.
Great Britain, Sweden, Germany, France… along with Canada, all have prosecuted folks for crimes of telling the truth.
Wait a minute. I thought it was even more difficult to get a gun in the entire country of France than it was to get one in Baltimore. You know, to the point that there is no private citizen firearm ownership. So, where did he get the gun when it was illegal for him to get it? They need more gun laws to prevent terrorists from obtaining illegal firearms illegally.
Oh, you mean a legal gun! Amateur arms dealers in Baltimore are happy to sell without the niceties required by law, and are quite common.
There is gun ownership in France, even gun magazines:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cibles
http://www.crepin-leblond.fr
I know one of their authors.
They have Cowboy Action Shooting clubs there. The licensing rules are … challenging.
Private ownership of firearms apparently is legal in France. But by US standards, the legal restrictions on firearms ownership are rather severe.

If I could subversively become the Emperor of Islam, the first thing I would decree is that the whole 72 virgin thing is in the shitter. Now, if you die as a martyr, you get 40 acres and a mule to work them.
It needs to be a purty goat instead of a mule. Oh wait, you are trying to make being a martyr less attractive. How about other martyrs to pull the plow instead of a mule.
Nah, just make it a Helen Thomas clone – that’ll solve the problem for all time.
We need to go back to the boarder land days of the Scotch-Irish. When a terrorist kills your family member the whole family can go kill their family. A good ol’ family feud is what we need. Then the Muslims would think “Europe? I’m not going to live with those crazies”.
Since you are a professional troll, don’t you have spell check on your computer? “Boarder land,” really? University student huh? Maybe English is your second language.
Hey, cut lily a break.
It’s hard for her to try to sound intelligent while looking ups things on the interwebz and then copying them down.
And she obviously thinks she knows something about Scots, the Irish, and their interrelationships when clearly she hasn’t a clue.
“Adulting” is hard for her – and she fails so often, poor thing.
I know she is really working hard on them interwebz cuz she does most of her posting here in the middle of weekdays when most college students are in school, attending classes. Undoubtedly, she is one of them overachieving millennials who doesn’t need to attend classes.
I think “boarder land” is the term UCSB grads use when they’re talking about land farmed by a sharecropper.
Who is “we”, lily? You got a mouse in your pocket?
Your momma must be so proud of her special little idiot fuck-trophy…
It was the last-place prize.
They already have that “law” in place….that’s why the dipshits can’t calm down and actually progress as a people….and I’m referring to the subscribers of islam and the eye for and eye crap they pull. It just feels and continues their narrative.
*fuels. I hate this phone
I see lily’s trolling again.
She would be a more effective troll if she used proper English and made statements that were marginally believable vice outrageous, though.
I blame the DRF for this.
(Dropped Rifles of France)
Wonder how many more military the streets can take. Seems like an easier solution would be to kick the problem people out and not invite them in to cause havoc in the first place.
Western Civilization is stuck on stupid an people with room temperature IQ’s are taking advantage.
A modern day Devil’s Island French Guiana for Islamic thugs. It’s not death, but they’ll wish it was.
That was their solution for the criminal class back in those days. I had the same thought as a place to put them. Gotta be cheaper than all that supposed 24-7 monitoring.
France? Where is that?
Across the channel from the Islamic state of England and near Germanistan.
Well, despite what youse guys think, it is NOT impossible to have a gun if you’re going to use it for hunting. Hunting season in Provence is now underway.
http://www.lesremillys.com/en/contenus/france-hunting-season-.28.html
You’ll notice that, unlike the USA, there is a season wild boar, which starts in June and ends in August. It’s not impossible to have a gun in France. You simply have to jump through hunting hoops for it.
