Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, the Franco-Iranian terrorist who stabbed a tourist to death and injured two other people with a hammer on Saturday, not far from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, had contact with the perpetrators of no less than three recent French terror attacks. One of these contacts was the assassin of Samuel Paty, the history teacher who was stabbed to death and whose body was then decapitated in 2020 after he showed his students caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in a civics class on freedom of expression.
In 2018, Rajabpour-Miyandoab was already convicted of forming part of a plot to attack the Parisian business district of La Défense. In addition, citing police and judicial sources, both the French daily Le Parisen and the news channel BFM report that Rajabpour-Miyandoab had contact with the following three perpetrators of notorious French terror attacks:
- Larossi Aballa, who in June 2016 killed the police officer Jean-Baptiste Salvaing and his wife Jennifer Schneider, also a police employee, at their home in Magnanville near Paris. After taking her hostage, Aballa would slit Schneider’s throat in front of the couple’s three-year-old son who survived the attack.
- Adel Kermiche, who, just one month later, along with an accomplice, killed Father Jacques Hamel, stabbing him and slitting his throat following a mass at the Saint-Étienne church in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, also not far from Paris.
- And Abdoullakh Anzorov, the killer of Samuel Paty. Paty was killed outside his school in the Parisian suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.
More alarmingly still, Rajabpour-Miyandoab is reported to have had contact with Anzorov in early October 2020, shortly after his own release from prison and just two weeks before the assassination of Samuel Paty.
Much has been made of the fact that Rajabpour-Miyandoab is a French citizen who was born in France. But it should be noted that of the three aforementioned terrorists, only Anzorov was not a French citizen who was born in France.
According to Le Parisien, “Armand” Rajabpour-Miyandoab, who was in fact born Iman Rajabpour-Miyandoab, has since adopted the name “Amine”.
It appears, indeed, that he does not come from a religious family, and, in any case, the overwhelming majority of Iranian Muslims are, of course, Shias, who are themselves regarded as heretics by Sunni fundamentalist groups like Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Speaking in Arabic in a video recorded prior to his attack, Rajabpour-Miyandoab pledged allegiance to the latter.
The main victim of the Paris attack has been widely described as a “German tourist”, but he appears in fact to be a native of the Philippines who, according to Le Parisien, only recently moved to Germany to take up employment in a nursing home. The fact that the victim is Filipino could be of significance, since just hours after the Paris attack, a Catholic mass was struck by a terror attack on Sunday morning at Mindanao State University in the Philippines. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the latter attack.

Expect more hand wringing. ———-That is all the response we get from the squirming apologists.
Yep they are importing potential murderers, rapists and terrorists on an industrial scale and anyone who opposes them is a far Wight WAcist who must be destroyed!
It really comes to something when you see the threat level to Israelis travelling abroad increased this month, however, we know that just being a Jew anywhere just now comes with an increased risk to one’s personal safety;
”Since the beginning of the Swords of Iron War, Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) has been conducting ongoing situation assessments together with the Israeli security organizations.
The NSC released recommendations last month (Nov. 3) for Israelis abroad, emphasizing threats existing in several countries, but since that time, the threat levels in many countries have changed and in many cases, have been raised in accordance with the in-depth analysis conducted by the Council.
Alerts were raised this month to to threat level 2 for countries in Western Europe, including the UK, France and Germany, as well as in South America (Brazil and Argentina), Australia and Russia.”

This is disgraceful and the police are investigating. It is just one example of similar incidents. Jewish kids being persecuted by ignorant, hate-filled hostiles;
”Police are investigating claims Jewish children have been prevented from getting on buses in London.
In one incident, several Jewish schoolboys were waiting at Egerton Road bus stop in Stamford Hill, north London and signalled for it to stop. The driver initially slowed down but then continued without stopping, the complaint says.
It is claimed several passengers were encouraging the driver’s alleged actions, making antisemitic remarks and expressing their gratitude for the bus not stopping, the Met Police said. The incident is said to have occurred at around 8.05am on the 76 bus towards Waterloo, on 26 November.”

Bus not stopping at a stations it’s supposed to stop at is poor service and not persecution.
Turning the other cheek and pretend hand-wringing are no longer acceptable responses. Third World brutality / savagery merits a suitably first world response along the lines of “terminate with extreme prejudice.” Clinically of course.
It must be bad in Denmark if they’ve had to resort to this. Increased threat levels all over Europe and beyond now though, as well as antisemitic hate crime. ”Never again is now”.
”The Danish government has dispatched armed troops to man Jewish places of worship and the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen following a dramatic rise in anti-Semitism and an increased terror threat across the country.
From Wednesday, firearms units will guard synagogues in an attempt to provide further assurances to an increasingly insecure Jewish community.
“The conflict in the Middle East has led to a completely unacceptable increase in anti-Semitism and insecurity for Jews in Denmark,” Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said, as cited by the Copenhagen Post.
“We’re in a situation where the terrorist threat hanging over Denmark is serious,” he warned
The justice minister explained the move to utilize the country’s armed forces would “free up more hands for other important police tasks” including the policing of pro-Palestinian protests which the defense ministry has admitted are stretching police resources.
Anti-Semitic hate crimes have sky-rocketed across Denmark since the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel by Hamas. Holocaust memorials honoring Danish Jews have been defaced and the country’s chief rabbi was assaulted and spat at in public as he traveled to a TV interview last month.”

The only way to deal with these “terror” attacks is to go on the offensive – those known to be a threat need to be rounded up. Sending the army to “guard” Jewish property is inviting attacks elsewhere. And of course, how convenient to be able to normalise armed soldiers on the streets. Very convenient.
You’re right, hux. Guarding synagogues isn’t exactly a viable long-term solution. It’s always best to get to the root cause of the problem. This just comes across as a temporary, reassuring measure for the Jews but these people still have the right to go about their business feeling safe and free from harassment. If nasty sods really intend to do harm to Jewish folk then they’ve got ample opportunities elsewhere, such as public transport, shops etc. Armed guards can’t be everywhere. I’d be carrying Mace and a Swiss army knife for self-defense if I were a Jew.
“I’d be carrying Mace and a Swiss army knife for self-defense if I were a Jew.”
I suspect these items may well become part of most people’s daily carry.
A bag of chilli powder and a short piece of dowel, about 6 inches long and carved to a blunt point. A yawara stick. You can do a great deat of damage with one after you have slung chilli in their face.
There is moron on here who keeps defending these scum. I think we all know who that is.
Oh yeah.🤣 More than one toxic plonker trailing me around these comments though. Nothing says, “I’m a well-balanced individual with zero psychological issues” like changing your username so you can still troll posters, all the while harping on about the same tedious sh*t, grinding the same tired, old axe and displaying the same personality disorder, but assuming everybody’s too thick to notice. No need to channel my Miss Marple skills there then.🕵♀️
Stupidity+arrogance= some serious 🤡 issues that need addressing.
Toxic personalities, disrespectful posters……I’ve got sod all time for such muppets.
Got quite an impressive list now though.😉😁 “Don’t feed the trolls”.👍🎯
The barbarians were allowed and invited inside the gates a long time ago. It’s hardly surprising that they are now behaving like barbarians.
