Terror Attacks In France And Tunisia
[guest post by Dana]
A gruesome terror attack at a factory in France:
The severed head had Arabic writing scrawled across it and was found on a fence next to two jihadi banners.
Two other people were hurt in the explosion at the factory near Grenoble , said French President Francois Hollande.
The explosion in France was triggered when two attackers deliberately crashed a car into gas canisters, according to police.
One Islamist had been killed at the premises in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, southeastern France. The main suspect, named as Yassin Salhi, 35, has been arrested.
Salhi was known to intelligence officials, and may have been radicalized.
President Hollande referred to it as “terrorism”, not “workplace violence”:
“The attack was of a terrorist nature since a body was discovered, decapitated and with inscriptions,”
Further, Interior Minister Cazeneuve, speaking from the scene, described the attack as “barbarous” and a “terrible terrorist crime”.
According to a reporter for the the Daily Telegraph:
“The person arrested was allegedly carrying a flag of the Islamic State and he said he was a member of the IS.”
This attack came shortly before “militants, feared to be from ISIS”, opened fire on sunbathers at a resort in Tunisia popular with Europeans, killing 28 people and injuring 36 others:
Witnesses said the terrorists used a jet ski and a boat to access the beach and hid their machine guns in parasols while dressed in Western clothing.
About the sole surviving gunman:
A Tunisian student, previously unknown to the security services, is the prime suspect in the massacre, Tunisia’s Secretary of State for Security, Rafik Chelly revealed.
Mr Chelly told Tunisia’s Mosaique FM radio station: ‘He is Tunisian, from the Kairouan region [in the centre of Tunisia]. He is a student. He was not known [to the security services].
‘He went to the beach, dressed like someone who is going for a swim and he had a parasol [sun umbrella] inside which he had his weapon. After he arrived at the beach, he used his weapon.’

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/26/2015 @ 11:12 amwhat will the reaction be when Islamic Fundamentalist do barbaric killings here in response to the SC guaranteeing the rights to moral depravity, as the IF sees it?

Islamists killing Muslims in countries where Sharia Law, if not absolutely codified, is the backbone of the legal system. Nope, I don’t see how we can blame Islam for this. I think it’s maybe the lack of jobs, or perhaps the U.S. relationship with Israel.
JVW (8278a3) — 6/26/2015 @ 12:30 pmDo you think banning the Isis flag might help?
elissa (ea46f3) — 6/26/2015 @ 12:39 pmbanning a black flag?!?!? Racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/26/2015 @ 12:49 pmSo today in the Western world the rainbow flag and the ISIS flag were both raised in triumph.
And strangely enough, no one in the West will see the symbolic connection between the two.

Such an irony, no? And, no one will look at it in terms of our “mission” to degrade and destroy, which is having little impact…thus, the gays continue to be thrown off buildings.
Dana (86e864) — 6/26/2015 @ 1:30 pmBut the crusades.
egd (1ad898) — 6/26/2015 @ 1:58 pmNot only are such incidents called workplace violence in the US, but decapitation by a Muslim of Coptic Christians has nothing to do with Sharia until proven so…

A actually heard a (“not particularly” devout) muslim I know, say: “See how many one of ours can kill of yours?” But he was referring to the attacks on 9/11.

AZ Bob (52f2b6) — 6/26/2015 @ 8:02 pmSince so much of the left throughout the Western World makes lame excuses for or rationalizes away the disreputable nature of Islamism and Sharia Law (in spite of how reactionary it is), and since the left has inculcated political correctness to the point where anti-US, anti-Western, anti-Christian fanatics can have a field day (eg, a massacre at Fort Hood) or easily immigrate to Europe or the US, it seems somehow fitting — it seems only fair — if the left ends up the ultimate and unwitting victim of such extremism and (as the saying goes) very much hoisted by its own petard.
Mark (a11af2) — 6/26/2015 @ 8:10 pm35 Mile an Hour Town , pretty accurate i think about the present.
seeRpea (0cf003) — 6/26/2015 @ 8:24 pmPlayplace violence, that’s all. Move along.
htom (4ca1fa) — 6/27/2015 @ 6:40 amI’m wondering if the French victim was Jewish, or was someone whose name or face might make a Muslim think he was Jewish. Seems an obviously pertinent question. Has any ‘news’ agency even tried to answer it? I’m also wondering if he was the killer’s supervisor, or just a fellow employee. Does anyone know?
Dr. Weevil (c83662) — 6/27/2015 @ 5:56 pmhe seems to have been the overall boss,
