French surprised that integrated middle-class Muslims arrested for terrorism

Every time a radical Muslim kills, the media is quick to remind us about the integrated middle-class Muslims – the hardworking cargo handler, the well liked elementary school assistant, the friendly grocer.

Unfortunately, France just arrested a hardworking cargo handler, a well liked elementary school assistant, and a friendly grocer on charges that they were getting ready to massacre a bunch of innocents.

One was a well-liked elementary school assistant. Another was a hard-working cargo handler. The third was a friendly grocer. They were longtime friends in their quiet suburban neighborhood, and they joked with teenagers and greeted children with a smile.

They found weapons in the apartment of the well liked elementary school assistant, and the authorities intimated that the group of well-liked Muslims were about to launch a massive attack.

Yet in the early hours of Nov. 20 agents from France's internal security agency swooped down, plucking the three and one other from their apartments, charging them with plotting a terrorist attack, and locking them up in a prison outside Paris.

Here was a new type of terrorism arrest: decently paid men in their 30s giving no warning signs of radicalization – no beards, no robes, no proselytizing[.] ... There were certainly more obvious candidates for jihad. The four arrested gave no outward hint of radicalization.

And unlike many troubled youths in Paris and Brussels who have latched onto the Islamic State, they did not live on the margins. They had stable jobs and no previous brushes with drugs or crime.

"Nobody saw anything," said Olivier Bitz, Strasbourg's deputy mayor in charge of counter-radicalization. "And that is profoundly disconcerting. It is profoundly destabilizing for society. Now, the threat can come from anywhere."

No, not from anywhere.  Just from Muslims.

What is it going to take to get the progressives to understand that islam and western culture are incompatible. It’s like mixing oil and water.

Warning factors:

They are Muslim.

They are men.

They are between 18 & 50 in age.

They have been indoctrinated with the Koran to kill anyone who isn’t Muslim.

How many more points do you need???

I would recommend a series of videos by one Stephen Coughlin on the subject of Islam, Sharia Law, and jihad.

Here is a relatively short video which is called “Stephen Coughlin Red Pill Brief #1”

Please note: this is a more recent video and rapidly brings up a number of things that you would think were, or should be, important to American leaders (but of course the DNC is really an MNC, or Muslim National Committee, in how they have been influenced by the things mentioned there ... and don’t presume the RNC is necessarily much better).

And here is a link to video #1 of the lecture series:

Finally, here’s a brief article about they guy from 2008 that may also be of interest:

Thanks.

No surprise warranted, Frenchies. Every Muslim in France is a potential terrorist because the Koran demands it! How stupid is Western Civilization to passively become Dhimmis of this 7th century death cult? Stupid is as stupid does.
