Islam: the contagious mental illness.
Muslim scum.
Same MO as the Roanoke stabbing.
What a mere coincidence.
Was he white moslem, black moslem, arab moslem, asian moslem or Indian moslem?
Should have been introduced to the guillotine within hours of his apprehension, and the happy event should have been internationally televised.
Any national who converts to Islam should lose his or her citizenship, all rights, protections, and privileges of citizenship, and be permanently exiled.
A Frenchman....right.

Killer: Muslim
Victim: Infidel
Killer shouts: "Allahu Akbar!"
Police: "We don't have a motive yet."
This is a tough one. Let me think . . . Let me think.
If the police are saying No link to Terrorism because they cant find any instructions, let them read the Koran.
"Kill them wherever you find them" (2:191, 9:5)
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks....." (8:12)
"Between us and you, enmity and hatred forever" (60:4)
The Koran is part of Islamic law - death penalty for denying any verse.
