Jihad in Strasbourg

Cherif Chekatt reminds Emmanuel Macron that climate change is not the only threat France faces.

Emmanuel Macron, France’s youthful wunderkind, Europe’s poster child for globalism and socialism, has been absorbed lately with furious protests and riots over a confiscatory new tax he placed on gasoline in order to fight what he thinks of as the greatest threat France and the world face today: climate change. But on Tuesday in Strasbourg, a Muslim named Cherif Chekatt reminded Macron that France faces another threat, one that could prove to be immensely more serious: jihad. Chekatt opened fire at a Christmas market in his native Strasbourg, murdering four and injuring eleven.

As of this writing, Chekatt is on the run, and in a departure from the recent tendency to wave away all such attacks as manifestations of “mental illness” and insist that they’re not terrorism, much less jihad, French authorities are, according to the Telegraph, “treating the attack as a terrorist act. Anti-terrorist prosecutors have opened an investigation.”

In fact, Chekatt was “on a list of ‘security threats,’” France’s “Fiche S” list of people who pose a serious terror threat. RT reported that the regional prefecture announced: “The author of these acts, listed as a security threat, had been sought by police” on Tuesday, but they hadn’t been able to catch up with him before he opened fire. A former London police inspector, Peter Kirkham, explained to RT: “There are so many people that are involved around the edges of this sort of terrorism if this is what it turns out to be, that you can't keep any sort of meaningful surveillance on them. Even just monitoring the use of communications and social media would be too much.”

This is an excellent article on the French government refusing to take necessary actions to protect their people from Muslim terrorists.

The recent attack could have been easily prevented.

macaroon is more concerned with phony climate change than with protecting his people.

Nothing to worry about.

It’s just another example of force cultural enrichment.

This time with a gun of peace, instead of a knife of peace or a gun of peace.

Such attack could have been prevented with stricter gun control, if weapons of war were banned, etc, etc.
... wait, guns ARE banned in France.

...you can't keep any sort of meaningful surveillance on them. Even just monitoring the use of communications and social media would be too much.

So, if we can't do those preventative things, is there another solution? Just what might the other solution be?

Western Europe is dead.

It’s just still walking around for a little while on remaining reflex.

Might it be massive deportation with concomitant securing of the border?

The largest mosque in France is located in Strasbourg.

Go figure.

Yes, and if macaroon hadn't deployed 80,000 security forces to protect himself from the wrath of his own people, then they might have had time to round up a few more jihadists.

Well certainly burning all those cars isn't going to be helping anything. Man , these Frenchies are something. Don't like the price of gas so burn your car. This incarnation is spreading to Belgium and Germany. They're burning their cars too I think.
