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.

His brother working as a French policeman was a false muslim - an apostate worthy of immediate death by the mujahadeen.

It amazes me how powerful the media is on shaping thought and literally brainwashing people. The religion of peace crap comes directly from the Muslim brotherhood PR arm...

During my two-year stay in Kabul as a contractor I got to know many Muslims and their so called ROP. They hate Christians and many are pedophiles - up to 50% of the men in Kandahar province are estimated to be pedophiles.

Only those with their head in the sand would believe this crap.

By believing this crap, they don't have to do anything about it. Pulling their heads out of the sand would then require some tough decisions.

Make some tough decisions now, or some tougher ones later.

A little more of Islamic LOVE and we are all doomed!

“Which verses of the Koran promote “love”?”

“Which verses of the Koran promote “forgiveness”?”

“Which verses of the Koran promote “kindness”?”

Love, Kindness & Forgiveness are these part of Islamic doctrine? I venture to say no they are not.

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.

True Muslims must also collaborate with us Infidels and enforce secular laws, instead of pursuing Allah's directions. - Tom

I must admit, Islam does love to murder the helpless and innocent. That is as close to love as they get.

“Islam is a religion of peace and love.”

As my favorite Erle Stanley Gardner fictional lawyer would say, “You have assumed a fact not in evidence.”

One more time: there is no such thing as a “fake” Muslim. There are no “moderate” Muslims. There are only Muslims and they are killers without conscience.

“Any evidence of ‘love’??? Has anyone here seen it?”

Well, as best as I can tell, the Muslim definition of “love” consists of sodomizing small boys, forcing young girls to marry crusty old men, murdering women for disobedience (aka Honor Killing), and having sex with the occasional goat. So, yeah, there’s plenty of Muslim “love” on display in the Muslim world.

Sodomizing small boys, forcing 8 year-old girls to marry crusty old men, relegating women to the role of slaves, honor killings for disobedient wives / daughters, and having sexual relations with any goat they can catch.

Yes. Exactly. If you were to ask the average 80 year old German, he was a baker, a postman or a crossing guard. Just like if you ask the same of a Frenchman, he was in the Resistance.

Actually, the average 80-year-old German would probably tell you that he had still been in elementary school at the close of WW II (which was, after all, 70 years ago).

Regards,

Nidal Malik Hasan prepared a slide show for his fellow Army doctors on the subject of Islam. One of his last points read: “We love death more than you love life!”

They could prove it by whole mosque communities marching for peace in Paris. I’ll be holding my breath. Not.
