He may, however, have “mental health issues,” as mental illness is the all-purpose catchall today for authorities who do not wish to admit that jihad exists.

Personally, I think Jihad is a mental illness, or more precisely, a spiritual illness that accompanies devout Islamism. The only reasonable response is to segregate devout Muslims from sane societies and send them back to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Somalia, etc., etc.

An update on this story. 

RCMP lay terrorism charges against Edmonton city hall shooting suspect

by Paige Parsons, CBC News, March 4, 2024:

A security guard alleged to have fired shots and thrown Molotov cocktails in Edmonton city hall in January is now facing several terrorism-related charges.

In a news release Monday, the RCMP said its Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) has charged Bezhani Sarvar, 28, with counselling commission of a terrorism offence and possession of property for terrorist purposes.

Sarvar is also facing nine criminal charges in connection with the Jan. 23 attack at city hall that led to a lockdown.

In its news release, the RCMP say the following criminal charges laid against Sarvar also constitute terrorism offences:

Intentionally or recklessly cause damage by fire or explosion to property, knowing the property was inhabited.

Intentionally possess incendiary material while committing an indictable offence.

Use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence.

Intentional discharge of a firearm while being reckless as to the life and safety of another person.

Possession of a prohibited device (two counts).

Mischief.

Carrying a concealed weapon.

Possession of weapon for the purpose of committing an offence.

In the wide-ranging and sometimes sporadic video, Sarvar lists a long list of concerns with society, and says he wants to make the world better. His critique includes inflation, unaffordable housing, multiculturalism, “wokeism,” the fighting in Gaza, immigration, bullying, racism and genocide. It’s not clear when or where it was recorded.

Oriola described the contents of the video as a seemingly unrelated and borderline non-rational tapestry of grievances. and said video suggests Sarvar might have mental health issues….

France: Muslim schoolteacher sings Islamic

religious songs glorifying the Islamic State

Apparently when he was hired, no one thought to ask him what he thought about secularism, jihad, and other pertinent matters. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic,” and pointless anyway, since the people asking the questions would almost certainly not have known how to spot warning signs, and Sofiane O. was likely prepared to deceive them in all sorts of ways. Celebrate diversity!

A Drancy school teacher imprisoned for singing in praise of Daesh

translated from “Un professeur des écoles de Drancy incarcéré pour des chants à la gloire de Daech,” by Denis Courtine and Frédéric Gouaillard, Le Parisien,
February 26, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):

He highlighted his job as a school teacher in Drancy (Seine-Saint-Denis) throughout his time in police custody. Him, a jihadist? Impossible. It is against the values of the French Republic to which he is, he says, very attached. Against secularism, of which he is one of the representatives in his establishment, according to what he said to the police, but which is denied by the rectorate. This “black hussar” speech was enough to shake the convictions of the investigators. Except that by listening to Sofiane O., the police officers from the criminal squad were undoubtedly hearing other music. And there was nothing republican about that one.

Lying is never a problem for devout Muslims. There is no compulsion to telling the truth in Islam. 

The 26-year-old teacher is suspected of having performed at least five nasheed, that is to say Muslim religious songs, glorifying, in French, the fighters of the Islamic State. One of his “works” was even published on the website of the “I’lam Foundation,” the main propaganda channel of Daesh.
