FULL TITLE: Paris policeman’s brother: ‘Islam is a religion of love. My brother was killed by terrorists, by false Muslims’

Ahmed Merabet, the police officer gunned down in the Charlie Hebdo attack, was killed in an act of barbarity by “false Muslims” his brother said in a moving tribute on Saturday, where he also appealed for unity and tolerance.

Speaking for a group of relatives gathered in Paris, Malek Merabet said the terrorists who ignored his brother’s plea for mercy as he lay wounded on the street may have shared his Algerian roots, but had nothing else in common.

“My brother was Muslim and he was killed by two terrorists, by two false Muslims,” he said. “Islam is a religion of peace and love. As far as my brother’s death is concerned it was a waste. He was very proud of the name Ahmed Merabet, proud to represent the police and of defending the values of the Republic – liberty, equality, fraternity.”

Malek reminded France that the country faced a battle against extremism, not against its Muslim citizens. “I address myself now to all the racists, Islamophobes and antisemites. One must not confuse extremists with Muslims. Mad people have neither colour or religion,” he said.

“I want to make another point: don’t tar everybody with the same brush, don’t burn mosques – or synagogues. You are attacking people. It won’t bring our dead back and it won’t appease the families.”

His brief speech was a moving tribute to the slain officer, loved as a son, brother, companion and uncle, but also a powerful call for harmony.

Yes, we ALL have seen the millions and millions of Peaceful Muslims around the world energetically protesting and crying out against these “false Muslims” haven’t we?

Any evidence of “love”??? Has anyone here seen it? You can deny reality but you can’t deny it’s consequences.

I think it’s clear that the backsliding Muslims were the police officer and his brother, sadly...

It is strange. They all say this, but there is little evidence of it...

How many “false Muslims” are there?
How does one tell a “false Muslim” from a “true Muslim” before the attack?

Where there's Islam there is extremism. They go together.

Just read the Koran. Actually, just a little of it will show what a true Moslem and Islam is.

Nothing in the book except commands from Allah to attack (usually by surprise,) conquer, convert, enslave, murder, and rape.

The savage killers were true Muslims as litterally described in the Koran.

The evidence and practice of it is that these peaceful moderate Muslims only put out signs that say “We are Americans” when their brothers have committed some atrocity.

You don’t see them protesting in the street against them, you don’t see them out on the blogs protesting (you see, however, thousands of bleeding heart liberals defending them). You will see sometimes when CNN slips up and shows it - thousands and thousands of crazy Muslims ululating “death to America” every time some Muslim kills westerners, though.

You can’t get into their Mosques and hear what they are saying but it isn’t peace and love I’d bet. The only protesting you hear about it is from CAIR or some other ARAM Muslim backed terror front carping about their “rights” here in America and all the prejudice they are experience.

They are an infestation. Members of a diseased religion that adds absolutely no value to human quality of life, period.

Wasn’t there a post here on FR last week about a poll taken in France of Muslims in November 2014?

In that poll 69% of French muslims stated that they support the Islamic State.

So "false muslims" behave like mohamhead and follow his written instructions in the koran, but "true muslims" ignore those instructions and pretend their founding father was not a murderous pedophile - at least when non-mulsims are around anyway.

Got it.

Unfortunately, “false” Muslims seem to hide quite nicely in the midst of so-called “peaceful” Muslims.
