    described him as “easily influenced” and a “buffoon.”

    From reading this article, this applies more to the judge who fell for this terrorist’s bullshit.

      Really, if it gets to the point where there’s enough evidence to have the loser wear a tracking placement then the response should be “if you want to leave and join these maniacs in their craphole, feel free. A nice man is waiting to collect your passport and citizenship at the exit door, since you obviously have no use for the latter. Goodbye forever.”

      Once he was in Syria, this stupid and delicate little snowflake would have been worm food within a month and the French priest would still be alive.

      Exactly. I’m all for every person that wants to join Isis being free to join. In fact, I’d set up a government triage station to help with their transition. They could hand over passports, renounce citizenship, and get a handy dandy monitoring chip that would in no way be used to track their comings and goings in Syria and lead to a nice tidy drone strike as soon as more than 3 of them were standing around drinking cokes, tweeting death to the west, and smoking marlboros.

    I predict a lot of “but it’s a religion of peace riiiiiiiiiiight?!?!?!!” comments but let’s just nip that in the bud- fuck you, just say you don’t trust Muslims and be open with your bigotry. The smarm doesn’t make me more open to fearing Islam.

      Islam is an openly supremacist ideology that doesn’t even feign equality and tolerance for non-believers. But neo-Nazis and the Westboro Baptist Chirch probably cause your blood pressure to skyrocket, right?

      Ok. I’ll say it. I don’t trust them. I don’t trust those who can rationalize their completely intolerant beliefs. I don’t trust those who believe that apostasy is punishable by death. I don’t trust those who believe a woman should be veiled.

      Fuck Islam. Fuck Christianity. Fuck them all.

      It’s all horseshit and the fact that we have to be polite and go along with it is ridiculous.

    There is a valuable lesson to be learned here about the wages of feeding violent rhetoric to stupid people.

    Classmates who knew Kermiche described him as “easily influenced” and a “buffoon.”

    Wow, I didn’t think I’d have anything at all in common with this guy.

    This should not be surprising. The French have allowed their country to become a country within a country. Most of their cities have pockets that are no go zones for anyone that is not Muslim.

      I've seen it in person. If you make a wrong turn, you won't be lynched but you know you are not wanted there. It's a breeding ground for Radical Islam and as long you refuse to acknowledge it as such it will continue to happen.

    Continual violent rhetoric, and a sense of oppession combined with a weak will, or just plain stupidity results in situations like these. People against the wall, or under the belief that they are against the wall, tend to fight. It’s a damn shame that it cost this priest his life, by people who were easily converted. If there is any consolation to the fallen man, or his family, people are moving to beatify him, on the road to canonization.

      I don’t think his parents seem too upset about his death. Sounded like he was a nuisance at home as well as at school. Some people just shouldn’t have kids. The teenage years aren’t easy and you have to know that going in, it shouldn’t be a surprise. All kids have brushes with the law now and again.

      If they feel oppressed, they should return to the lands of their ancestors.

    “I wasn’t surprised...”

    “On my mother’s life I didn’t believe him...”

    A little bit of inconsistency there...

    “He said that [Muslims] couldn’t exercise their religion peacefully in France...”

    France has demonstrated more tolerance of Islam than most Muslim countries have of other religions.

    The “problem” seems to be that France won’t allow conservative Muslims to reshape their secular society with backwards religious beliefs, which really pisses a lot of them off.

    People like this asshole in particular should feel oppressed by Western countries. They’re clearly not interested in practicing a sane, non-violent interpretation of Islam compatible with secular, modern Western society of the 21st century.

    That won’t stop you from hearing that it’s “our” problem you see, for not “doing enough” to integrate them (read: make them feel like their shitty beliefs are appreciated or valued in any way).

    When you come from a culture where sawing-off people’s heads is a response to hurt feelings, throwing suspected gay people off rooftops is considered normal, and murdering your sister because she went on a date gets you high-fives from your own family, it’s not up to other cultures to make you feel welcome if you think that sort of thing is acceptable.

    If your beliefs have fucked everything in multiple countries, don’t be expected to be allowed to fuck-up other countries in the same way. Nobody wants that.

    Can’t help but think that any widely publicized movement — say International Stiltwalkers In Speedos — would be joined by these sociopaths if it was perceived as a way to be noticed/commit violence.

    (just read this article on punitive god/mental health, so maybe it has to be Angry Stiltwalkers in SpEdoS)
