Toulouse gunman dies in hail of bullets during police raid
France24.com ^ | March 22, 2012 | Staff

Mohamed Merah, the 23-year-old man who confessed to killing three French soldiers and four people at a Jewish school, died from a gunshot wound to the head Thursday after police stormed his home in Toulouse following a 32-hour stand-off.

  In a dramatic end to a 32-hour standoff, a masked French SWAT team slipped into the apartment of an Islamist extremist Thursday, sparking a firefight that ended with the suspect jumping out the window and being shot in the head. Mohamed Merah, 23, was wanted in the deaths of three French paratroopers, three Jewish schoolchildren and a rabbi - all killed since March 11 in what Merah reportedly told police was an attempt to “bring France to its knees.” Police had been trying to capture him alive since a predawn raid Wednesday to arrest him at his apartment in the southwestern city of Toulouse. The killings he was accused of - and boasted about to police - have shocked France, ignited fear in moderate Muslims about stoking discrimination and may even affect the country’s upcoming presidential election. The seven slayings, carried out in three motorcycle shooting attacks, are believed to be the first killings inspired by Islamic radical motives in France since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.  French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking in Paris, said an investigation was under way to see if Merah, a French citizen of Algerian descent who claimed links to al-Qaida, had any accomplices.

This stand off lasted 31 & 1/2 hours too long.

72 Virgins? Nope, meet 72 Virginians.

In a statement to the Nation after the terrorist was taken diwn, the President pledged to root out Islamist extremists, and their breeding grounds in prisons and the Internet.
The left, panicked and in disarray has launched a campaign of lies and conspiracies, and misinformation to try and bring down Sarko who has already risen in the polls.
I will try and keep you informed of the latest poll results with daily updates.
MARCH 22, 2012
SARKOZY 30% +2
HOLLANDE 27.5% -1.5%

I read that he stopped his scooter and pursued this little 8-yr old girl, cornered her and shot her in the head.

Islam is evil.

Thank you, wtd, for reminding us of this connection in the network of killings by Islamo-Fascist terrorists.
I read it on a different site, but forgot to include it in my post.

Anybody who decides to kill a child in the name of religion is a coward and so is his religion if they don’t rebuke him.

“Mohamed Merah”

Why is it that a majority of Muslim terrorists are named Mohamed?

.... oh, yeah. Never mind.

Due to the shortage of human virgins and a sense of humor by Mohammad, he will get his 72 virgin pigs. Sorry, but human, sheep, and goat virgins are reserved for higher ups in the Islamic Jihad food chain.

No woman is allowed celibacy in Islam, and no child is safe from rape. Period. But that is OK for liberal french, or too late for them. Bubye. THis is not an isolated incident, this is their policy to murder when in position of force, and smile and act stupid when in position of inferiority, whether perceived or real. Hence you have the guilt ridden rapist who murders and justifies himself or herself by pleading “humane feelings” and crying because the perception is not so good only... but if the perception is ok, you have this ape going all smiles drifting around in a car.

This is TYPICAL and cousin of liberal stupid behavior as a bridge to Hitler.
