[PJMedia] The news was shocking beyond measure: a man went on a stabbing spree at a playground in the French city of Annecy last Thursday, stabbing four three-year-olds and an adult. The attacker shouted "In the name of Jesus Christ" as he did his stabbing and claimed to be a Christian. He even had a made-to-order Christian name: Abdelmasih Hanoun; "Abdelmasih" means "Slave of Christ."| He lived for a decade in Sweden with official refugee status and a Swedish wife, but left when his citizenship application was denied and his wife divorced him. France denied his asylum application days before the attack because he was already approved in Sweden. |
The French-language news site Resistance® Républicaine reported Monday that "Syrians living in La Belle France and Germany" have recognized the attacker as a "madman of Allah," and that the identification has been confirmed by others as well. The attacker, according to those who have recognized him, is actually a Moslem named Selwan Majd, "a refugee from al-Hasakah in northern Syria."
