A gunman suspected of killing seven people in the name of al-Qaeda, including three children at a Jewish school, has been arrested by police after an hours-long siege in southwestern France.

About 300 police, some in bullet-proof body armor, had earlier cordoned off an area surrounding a four-storey house in a leafy suburb of the city of Toulouse where the 24-year-old Muslim man, identified as Mohamed Merah, was holed up on the ground floor.

Merah had been arrested for bomb making in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar in 2007 but escaped months later in a Taliban prison break, the director of prisons in Kandahar said.

Merah, a French citizen of Algerian origin...

The article at “The Times of Israel” (http://www.timesofisrael.com) quotes Israeli journalists as surmising that the French police may have spread misinformation about neo-Nazis deliberately as a strategy to induce the real murderer to drop his guard.

...and now that we know that the suspect isn’t a white, right-wing, extremist, Limbaugh fan, the story will vanish down the memory hole.

I wonder if Toulouse was chosen as a place for attack for symbolic reasons in the same way that it is speculated that 9/11 was chosen as a date for the anniversary of the Battle of Vienna.

These guys have long memories.

Every bombing or shooting, the media speculates that it could be a right wing nut, but they never speculate that he might be islamic.

This, even though the ratio of islamic nut to right wing nut in these stories is running about 4,687 to 2.

Yes, but too bad there is no such animal as a “right-wing Nazi”; as the whole concept is rather leftist, perhaps a bit right of communism, but leftist nonetheless. So much for accurate journalism....

Even my supervisor, a tenured professor of biology,and an avowed liberal/statist thought nazism was a “right-wing” ideology. Duh, oh.

Nazi-sympathizing group

Well, that part is correct. There is no larger or more outspoken group in support of Nazism than the Islamic Ummah (أمة). Some people tend to let the brown complexion of the typical faithful and Semitic linguistics of their unholy book fool them. All they lack are the well tailored uniforms and extravagant, disciplined parades.

“Mohammed.” Whoda thunk?

I thought mohammedans constrained themselves to pedophilia in honor of their prophet.

President with gonads:

“In the interest of safety, it will henceforth be the practice of our government law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, CIA, ATF, and TSA, to scrutinize those of the Islamic religion in a discriminate manner, without apology, in all phases of investigation and crime prevention activities.

“We will move forward in this manner until the leaders of the cultural/religious jihad movement begin to denounce violence, until said leaders are taking steps we demand be taken to police their own, and until we see evidence that these steps are having an effect on practitioners of the Islamic religion.”

Undercover tape - made by a conservative - of ‘journalists’ talking about Rick Perry, helping Obama, how NPR cheats on taxes, Tea Party, etc. and their general contempt for conservatives. New York Times group-think elites speak freely:

Hey, without the death penalty there, he might still have a chance in his head to keep spreading around his spew of irresponsibility and islamic hate. Anybody else would be lobotomized as mentaly ill in the PC French system of health care, but him, he has a political reason, so that makes him part of the state’s biscuit parasitic system.

Castrate him, in public, let him heal and then put him in a French prison. These Mohammeds live and breathe “genitalia”. You would only have to do this a few times and all of this “crap” would come to a screeching halt.

Muslim.

Initial reports from the heavily-biased, consistantly-evil news media, was a right wing Nazi.

THE PRESS IS EVIL, AND PROUD OF IT.

All he needs is sometime and then, once the majority or empowered, he turns into a wolf again who will murder at will... and so it goes.

It is so obvious that Islam is an evil agenda. The press is made of a bunch of communist sycophants who never disliked to see a savage’s revolution victorious. They are thugs. Give them the means, and they are thugs, criminals, wanting the 5 min fame in the streets, bleeding always for their minions so long they are in the minority, encouraging them when they are tyrant in the majority.

The press is all the example of what happens when you let them have power.
