The Muslim teenager who attacked a Jewish teacher in the heavily Muslim-populated city of Marseille today, is a Turkish Muslim citizen of Kurdish origin who said he acted in the name of the Islamic State (ISIS), the prosecutor in the southern French city of Marseille said.
Forward (h/t Maria J) The victim used a Torah book as a shield, according to one news website, which carried a photo of the blood-stained book. Its leather binding showed a deep cut.
“He claimed to have acted in the name of Allah and the Islamic State, repeating several times to have done on behalf of ISIS (Islamic State),” the prosecutor, Brice Robin, told a news conference.
The 15 year-old, who was armed with a machete and a knife, wounded the teacher in his back and in one of his arms before being stopped and arrested. The attack on the victim, who was wearing a kippah, occurred in daylight in front of a municipal building in the 9th district of Marseille, a police source told AFP.
According to the French Jewish news website alyaexpress-news.com, the victim is in his thirties. Identified as Benjamin Amsalem, he was on his way to the Dvar Avraham synagogue when the attack happened, according to that website.
Witnesses said the alleged assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “Allah is the greatest,” before the attack, the report said. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve earlier called the attack a “brutal anti-semitic aggression.”
When will the media admit that these ‘Jihadi’ attacks are racist hate crimes by Muslim fanitics. A racist hate crime sounds much worse than a jihad attack. Jihad to a Muslim is synonymous to crusade for a Christian. Muslims think jihad is a noble venture. It should be emphasized that these are racist hate crimes, and the perpetrators are racists Muslims.
Your going to get dizzy following all the reports about assaults. Just the beginning.
ICE
I already am. Someone should start a blog just for those stories.
Anyone who does an act for the Islamic state is either a suicide bombers or an Islamic heathen CANNIBAL that wants to eat the enemy unbeliever especially enemy number one in Islam is the New.
Thank God he survived. Anti-Semitic?? Of course!! But not a TERROR ATTACK also??! Of course, the attack in Philly has yet to be called a TERROR ATTACK either!!
The police chief in Phila. called it a terrorist attack – the mayor refuted that comment.
Stinking animals they are!! I’m so glad this teacher is ok. He shouldn’t have to teach such hate filled people. Countries, what will it take before you get them out!!?? Them must be having a good laugh thinking they are getting away with their barbaric ways.. And peoples tax money goes to support them… What a joke.
This is just a hint of what is to come to the West and the rest of the EU
Time to make a stand.
When will people …the leftist fools understand that islam is at WAR with the rest of the world..
Not until it affects them personally.
Assertions by Western “leaders” that “this has nothing to do with Islam” in 3… 2… 1…
Well that’s IF the story is told at all outside of counterjihad blogs.
Islamic peace and tolerance at it again. These people need to be deported back where they came from. They have brought there barbaric beliefs and actions with them to all the host countries.
