The news was shocking beyond measure: a man went on a stabbing spree at a playground in the French city of Annecy last Thursday, stabbing four three-year-olds and an adult. The attacker shouted “In the name of Jesus Christ” as he did his stabbing and claimed to be a Christian. He even had a made-to-order Christian name: Abdelmasih Hanoun; “Abdelmasih” means “Slave of Christ.”
It was suspicious and contrived, but it did seem to confirm the Leftist elites’ claim that the largest terror threat comes from right-wing Christians. There was just one catch: some people have recognized Abdelmasih Hanoun and say that he is actually a Muslim. I know, knock me over with a feather, right?
The French-language news site Resistance Républicaine reported Monday that “Syrians living in France and Germany” have recognized the attacker as a “madman of Allah,” and that the identification has been confirmed by others as well. The attacker, according to those who have recognized him, is actually a Muslim named Selwan Majd, “a refugee from Al-Hasakah in northern Syria.”
The chain of events that culminated with the stabbing of the children was set in motion when he “traveled to Turkey with false papers.” Once there, “he met a Swedish tourist and made her believe he was a Muslim convert to Christianity.” Love, or something, blossomed, and Turkey was no place to hang around in when big, beautiful Europe was beckoning.
The happy couple made their way to Sweden, where Majd married his Swedish bride, using the name “Abdelmasih Hanoun” and claiming to be a Christian. However, “the Swedish authorities doubted him,” with good reason as it turns out, “and refused to grant him citizenship.” Later, his Swedish wife left him, and he made his way to France.

“Abdelmasih” means “Slave of Christ.” …Not exactly. Al Masih can be a transliteration of Messiah, but it also has other meanings in Arabic besides “anointed one” (transliterated), such as “the traveler” or “the one who heals by caressing”; it’s also used in a more sinister context in Al Masih ad-Dajjal, a figure akin to the devil incarnate. The true cognate word meaning “anoint” in Arabic would be mamsuah.
Allah FUBAR.
Doing the work of his master, the Father of Lies.
Liars just have to lie.
In Syrian-Lebanese Orthodox Christianity Jesus the Messiah is always “Al Masih”.

Yes, and God is always “Allah”, which may be a blasphemy since it refers to that moon god.
Arabic Christians find their language of prayer and worship co-opted and distorted by those who, while theoretically “Abrahamic” attach entirely different and often antithetical meanings.
Very similar to orthodox Christianity and Mormonism.
Kicking the can . . . instead of returning the can.
Absolutely true.
Islam is as Islam does.
Daily Mail headline screamed “Christian” when the story first broke. Wonder if they’ll retract with as much fanfare?
Kudos. Among the strategies the worldwide Left and militant Muslims use is the obfuscation by words, especially across languages. Thanks for the addition to this thread.

The final syllable is not pronounced separately and distinctly but is slurred/combined with the beginning of “Qam”.
I know many Arabic Christians and have heard the final syllable in speech, less so in music (but that is the nature of song)
With respect, the video is in Aramaic.
Largely irrelevant. It appears the authorities discarded the Christian claim, to be used by politicians. It's worth remembering the PFLP, still an active terror group, was founded by George Habash, an Arab Christian. Far more important, a communist. Stalin wasn't particularly fond of Christians either.
