PARIS — The Algerian doctoral student suspected of attacking police officers in front of Notre Dame Cathedral — with cries of “This is for Syria!” and a hammer — was identified Wednesday by a relative and a friend as an ex-journalist who firmly believed in democratic values and showed no signs of radicalization.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said a search of a residence linked to the suspect in the suburb of Cergy-Pontoise uncovered a declaration of allegiance to the Islamic State group. A nephew in Algeria, lawyer Sofiane Ikken, said he was mystified by the finding because his uncle, Farid Ikken, had previously expressed disdain for the extremist group.

"showed no signs of radicalization" - of course not. Read the koran, there is nothing 'radical' about killing infidels.

Oh, no big deal, he was an x-journalism student... who decided it was going to take too long to convince the public through the liberal mouth piece that Islam Is a Religion of Peace and that you should convert... so he decided the quicker rout was to terrorize the public... nothing to see here, move along, move along...

“decided it was going to take too long to convince the public”, so he turned to violence. Gee-golly, just like a good’ol Socialist or Communist. It’s uncanny how similar those three control freaks act.

Studies need to be made on how many joutnalist commit murder and rape.

Clearly, background checks that include fingerprinting and DNA testing are called for.

A student? Real news outlets said he is 40 fricken years old? Student my ash! Ever notice how ever single one of these animals is an “engineering student” or a medical student?” And they have NOTHING built by an engineer or even a third rate hospital in the shiite hole countries they come from?

Studies need to be publicized (many have been made) about the IQ levels and mental and emotional stability of a population that has practiced consanguinity for centuries.

The results of these studies are clear and shocking.
