He stopped a jihadist in France. Now he's been stabbed in California (not coincidence)

Yesterday’s brutal knife attack on the U.S.-born French train hero Spencer Stone is yet more evidence suggesting that Stone and his fellow heroes are being targeted, possibly by Islamic terrorists.

In just the span of a week, this is the second time a world-famous American Christian who overwhelmed a would-be mass-murdering jihadist terrorist on a train in Europe two months ago appears to have been targeted.

Stone, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and civilian Anthony Sadler, devout Christians who have been friends since childhood, all subsequently received France's highest honor, the Légion d'Honneur, from French president François Hollande and were feted at the White House and the Pentagon.

Stone, Skarlatos, Sadler, British national Chris Norman, French-American Mark Moogalian, and a young French banker identified as “Damien A.” all saved potentially hundreds of lives for the role they played this summer in subduing Ayoub El-Khazzani, a Moroccan national with known ties to radical Islam. When the assailant got on the train in Brussels, Belgium, there were 554 souls on board.

Because of what they did on that train, all six men and possibly those close to them make attractive targets for Islamists. Fanatics who support Muslim expansionism surely view the sextet as enemies for taking down one of their own.

I saw at another source that the attackers were “Asian” men. Is Asian now a code word for Muslim, as it is in Britain?

As usual, the details of the attack and the perps are under an almost total blackout and a police spokesman announced immediately terrorism was not involved. Move along folks... Nothing to see here... Move on...

Some East Asian countries are 80% Muslim, for instance Indonesia.

Well worth the time to read.

So, were these “Asians” from Malaysia? Brunei? Indonesia? Afghanistan? Pakistan? India (significant muslim population)?

OK. But just as importantly—has anyone else ever heard of groups of “Asian” men harassing women?

Yes. Women in general are treated very poorly when it comes to sexual harassment and even sexual assaults and rape in many Asian counties; Japan and Thailand and South Korea being well known for such. It is cultural, perhaps not as bad as in the Muslim world but it still more often than not puts the blame on the victim rather than on the assailant and many assaults either go unreported or are dismissed by the authorities.

It is not uncommon for women; both Japanese and Western women to be sexually groped and sexually assaulted on crowded trains in Japan with no one coming to the women’s defense. And some Karaoke bars in Tokyo and South Korea are notorious for sexual assaults.

That sounds way more to me like the behavior of Muslim men, who would feel entitled to act in such a manner simply because the women were being immodest and out at night with men who were not their relatives. Also, given Stone's previous protective behavior, the fastest way to really engage him would be to draw him in by attacking someone else. Thirdly, the pattern of the stabbing behavior suggests a targeted, personal attack rather than a simple bar-fight stabbing scenario, which is much different. This was a purposeful attempt at assassination until proven otherwise, in my opinion.

I guess you have never heard of the problem of the Asian street gangs in California:
