One dead and police hurt in knife attack in France {Mohammedan}
BBC ^ | 23rd Feb 2025 | Lucy Clarke-Billings; Hugh Schofield

One person has been killed and five police officers injured in a knife attack in the eastern French city of Mulhouse.

A 37-year-old Algerian man was arrested at the scene and the prosecutor has opened a terrorist inquiry because the suspect reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar", or "God is great".

The man injured two police officers seriously, one in the neck and one in the chest. A 69-year-old Portuguese man who tried to intervene was stabbed and killed.

The suspect was subject to a deportation order because he was on a terrorism watch list, according to the local prosecutor. President Emmanuel Macron said there was "no doubt it was an Islamist terrorist attack".

After expressing his condolences to the family of the victim, Macron added: "I want to reiterate the determination of the government, and mine, to continue the work to eradicate terrorism on our soil."

The attack took place at about 16:00 local time (15:00 GMT) on Saturday near a busy market in Mulhouse, which is close to the borders with Germany and Switzerland.

...Visiting the scene on Saturday evening, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau told broadcaster TF1 that the suspect had been found to have a "schizophrenic profile" following his arrest.

He also said France had attempted to expel the suspect 10 times, and each time Algeria had refused to accept him.

He called for the establishment of a new "balance of power" with Algeria, and told reporters "we must change the rules" on how detention centres operate.

There was no immediate public comment from Algeria in response.

I find it interesting that FRance did attempt to forcibly convert Algerians to Christianity from 1870 to 1890, but that failed.

I don’t know why

Put him on a military plane, fly to Algeria, and drop him off. From 5,000 feet.

That won’t work. Well I mean yes for him it would work 🤣.

The only thing that would work is mass deportations. He is just an outlier, a more radical individual the population of Islamists will keep producing, in growing numbers.

France may be lost.

The suspect was subject to a deportation order because he was on a terrorism watch list, according to the local prosecutor.

And there is the problem with the Open Boarder policy.

He was on a terror watch list and yet he was able to enter the country.

The government did not know he was in the country and did not know where he was until he decided to kill a couple of cops.

That isn't related to the open border (not "boarder") policy.

The open border policy is WITHIN the Schengen zone -- see below -- this is not related to a guy coming from Algeria (not part of the Schengen zone)

He was on the terror watchlist IN France and he committed the terror attack IN France.

Two separate cultures can not co-exist unless one is overwhelmingly more powerful then the other. When they are equal there will be violence as one side attempts to overwhelm the other side. The one that is not afraid to use violence will in the end win.

In Europe today, the governments have chosen Muslims over their own citizens. Unless something changes Europe is lost.

Not being a mind reader I think President Trump understands this which is why he is disengaging America from Europe. Getting our military out before the fall.

“the suspect had been found to have a “schizophrenic profile”

No, he is a follower of Satan’s spawn Muhamhead. This is how Europe and the US neuter themselves in this fight. Call it what it is.

I spent a while in Phalsburg which is a short trip to Mulhouse .What beautiful setting with hard working farmers and small business owners. Such a waste of God’s creation to having these Neanderthals come and destroy.

Didn’t the French read “The Camp of the Saints” way back when?

Or are they bringing back memories if Vichy, France?

Years ago the magazine “National Lampoon” did a hit piece on France saying that Marshall Petain was the “Hero of Verdun” and that France’s watchwords of Egalite, Liberte’ and Fraternite’ were actually “Passivity’, Timidite’ and Debilite’.

Quick story: I was once in a Bible meeting where there was a guy who was obviously Spirit filled. I watched a guy walk up to him and say, “I want what you have”. France had nothing to give them when they attempted to convert them.

Hey, hey hey! Please don’t insult the Neanderthals. There is no evidence they were like this murderous bastard. Even Algeria doesn’t want the slimeball back.

“Allah akbar” does not mean “God is great”.

It is more accurately translated as “Allah is GREATER (than your God)”
