Islmaic stabbers in Europe

 Mark Steyn:

Another day, another empty seat at this year's Christmas table - thanks to western governments, feckless and complicit in the destruction of their societies.

So a German couple decide to travel to Paris for a pre-Christmas break. The City of Light and all that, right? Don't worry, they didn't go to any of those dangerous banlieues. Instead, they were a few yards from the Eiffel Tower strolling the Quai de Grenelle when a man attacked them shouting - go on, take a wild guess - yes, "Allahu akbar!" The husband, in his early twenties, was fatally stabbed; the wife is alive because a passing cabbie intervened. The stabber then fled across the Seine and attacked a local chap and a 66-year-old English tourist whom he hit in the eye with a hammer.

Who would do such a thing? The BBC was right on the case, identifying the perp as "a 26-year-old French national". Those crazy Frenchmen! It's only a fortnight since a bunch of other "French nationals" went full Maurice Chevalier on a village in the Drôme. And now it's happening at the Eiffel Tower.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking: "'French national', mon cul! I'll bet his name is Mohammed bin Jihad."

Wrong! It's Armand. And you can't get more French than that, can you? Unless it's Armand Croissant. In fact, Armand was born Iman - in full, Iman Rajabpour-Miyandoab, a son of Iranian non-Muslims who converted to "radical" Islam. It gets better:

The suspect had in 2016 been sentenced to four years in prison for planning another attack, and had been on the French security services' watch list, the minister said.

Great news: he was on the "security services' watch list". And how did that work out for his victims?

So, as a certain "niche Canadian" has been saying for close to two decades, the so-called "lone wolf" turns out to be yet another known wolf - just another working stiff from Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves. His Facebook friends included Larossi Aballa, who stabbed two policemen to death in Magnanville, and fellow stabber Adel Kermiche, who who murdered a priest at Mass in Saint-Étienne du Rouvray. Oh, and, while still in prison, he was in touch with Abdoullakh Anzorov, who a fortnight later fatally stabbed and posthumously beheaded the schoolteacher Samuel Paty.
...

Some people are just intolerant of other religious groups and feel the need to stab them.
