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...

They generally seem to know their history better than we in the West know ours.

Send him the Hayek quote on my FR home page. 3rd one down, the two-paragraph one.

Best do it anonymously.

Or throw a copy of Liberal Fascism on his desk when he’s not around.

These guys have long memories.

Yes, they certainly do. As with the mega-mosque being built in Tours, this location was not chosen at random.

Why do we assume that someone with the name Mohamed Merah is muslim? After all, Barack Obama is a christian!

Interior Minister Gueant said Merah, who had been under surveillance since the attack on the first of the soldiers last week, wanted revenge “for the Palestinian children and he also wanted to attack the French army because of its foreign intervention.”

So "under surveillance", he was permitted to walk into a Jewish school without so much as a patdown.

The political damage would of been huge if it had been a right winger, the political fallout from it being a Muslim will be negligible. The discussion would of been endless with an attack from someone from the far right, but now will be fading to a low murmur. I would say you have to love France, but unfortunately the same thing would happen here to a only slightly lesser degree.

Great video, it is so logical.

I don’t care what they say about all this not being news, it is good to hear the laughing evil cackle of bragging self congratulation on being the 1%ers who absolutely love crapping on the country and their readers.

This is typical Marxist gay pathetic attitude of thugs who once they have the upper hand, they are no longer the bleeding hearts, they rape.

Yeah, the French like use Jews as the yellow canaries... of submission. This in no way is going to revolt them against Islam, but to run to their deadly embrace, because that is what terrified cowards do.

...of thugs who once they have the upper hand, they are no longer the bleeding hearts, they rape.

The end of the tape is especially creepy. When they're actually talking to a live conservative - their 'light oh so superior' voices become filled with hatred and contempt. I didn't even know people could hate that much... Thanks for taking the time to watch it.

Pass it on:

Exactly this. The only way to terrify a terrorist is to physically punish him and then hold him up as an example to the rest of them!

They’re already choking in the deadly embrace. Immigration has turned France into a giant enemy base camp.

Interesting that the first reports about who the suspect might be, put the term “right-wing” right on top.

What a surprise!

Every single one of the news reports I saw on thing, both national and local, said a "right-wing extremist" or "neo-Nazi" did this. In reporting this story, Fox News even did a recap of the mass shooting in Norway last year!

More and more I see how right Andrew Breitbart was. The real enemy is the media.

I loved that the brilliant CSIs in the media concluded that the shooter had to have been a “Nazi” because....he shot three African men! And everyone KNOWS that Muslims can’t be racist.

We both know that would never happen but I am increasingly becoming of the mind that we, all of us or at least Western governments should just take to killing these worthless Saracen bastards at random and let these 7th. century barbarians live with the fear of random, unexpected violence and death they so freely subject the rest of us to. There IS NO SUCH THING as ‘’radical Islam’’ nor is there such a thing as a ‘’moderate’’ or ‘’good’’ Saracen* *(Muslim). Islam is ALL radical!! I can’t count the number of times I have won this argument with people when they try and tell me this bs about ‘’good Muslims’’. I ask them what I call the “Silver Bullet Question’’ and that is “Oh yeah? Were there ever any ‘’good Nazis’’, you know ‘’moderate’’ ones?’’ I get the deer-in-the -headlight total loss of words reaction every time.

ISLAM calls for decapitation. In this case I’ll agree to the following method!
