#1  WaPo gave a key detail: He admitted helping his brother steal the motor scooter he used in all seven killings, although he denied knowing of his deadly intent.

Islamofascists Rally in Toulouse to Honor Killer Merah
Google translation:
The initiative is as astounding as unfortunate. Thirty young people, mostly girls, gathered Saturday in the district of Toulouse Izards, which grew Mohamed Merah, to honor the memory of the killer of seven people shot dead by police Thursday, comparing the pain of those families victims. One hundred members of security forces have surrounded this event static during which a woman wearing a full veil has harrangué group.

"We are what we ask today is that we stop demonizing Mohamed, that's it, he died," she said. "We share the pain and suffering of the families because it is the same pain for us here," said the girl, who declined to give his name. "I think what influenced him is what he has seen in his many travels. He could not manage all that. It was still a teenager in his head, despite his 23 years."
They're openly celebrating their victory. And why shouldn't they? After islamofascistic attacks we're habitually rewarding islamofascists as long as they don't personally employ the method we call 'terrorism.'

#1  Take names, photos, DNA samples & construct family trees. Then crack down on them. Hard.

#3  They either want to be French or they don't. If the latter, deport them back to their country of origin, or their parents' country of origin.

I'm getting really tired of this: if you don't wish to conform to the laws and culture of the democratic state in which you live, and your differences are both fundamental and irreconcilable, then leave.

Europe's Muslim Nightmare
Europeans horrified to discover that they must contend with homegrown terrorists

As long as we were dealing with Islamic hard boyz arriving in Western Europe from the Middle East and not part of local society, it was possible to monitor them and thwart their terror intentions. They were foreigners. Yet what happens when the hard boyz are French or European locals of Mohammedan descent who were born in Europe? To what extent can their actions be monitored and their terror activities curbed? It's much more difficult, and this is the European nightmare, which keeps growing, as illustrated by the brutal murder in Toulouse.
 
These Mohammedan European youngsters, some of whom view jihad as a model for imitation, are deeply familiar with European society and its constitutional, security and moral vulnerabilities. Studies show that Mohammedan youths born in Europe are much more radical than the generation of their immigrant parents, who were preoccupied with making a living.
 
A fascinating and important study by British think tank Policy Exchange found that Mohammedan youngsters in Britannia are quickly moving towards radicalization, Islamization, and a desire to change Britannia's identity to conform to Islam. These are loud warning signs, yet nobody can do anything about it in Europe for fear of being accused of primitivism.
 
The study was premised, among other things, on a poll among Britannia's Mohammedan population. Some 37% of youngsters aged 16-24 want to adopt Islamic laws in Britannia (of course, nobody would renounce their British citizenship) compared to only 17% of respondents aged above 55. Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed this guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread...
37% of young respondents want their children to study in Islamic schools, compared to only 19% of older respondents. Some 7% of respondents confessed to admiring terror groups like al-Qaeda, including 13% of youngsters and 3% of older respondents. (Notably, the terrorist who went kaboom!" at Tel Aviv's Mike's Place café in 2003 was a Mohammedan carrying a British passport.) Finally, 74% of the youngsters prefer their wives to wear a veil, compared to 28% among older respondents.
 
Easy prey for terrorists
Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed this guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread...
the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
has become an awkward, clumsy body, up to its neck in bureaucracy, with odd technocrats assuming top posts: For example, Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton. The EU exposed European states to accelerated Mohammedan immigration, while forcing them to adopt liberal, lenient laws towards minorities and immigrants. The sense of illusory sovereignty and safeguarding of borders, which is supposed to be natural for every country, was almost annulled, while officials in Brussels make decisions for all EU states; the same Brussels that already boasts a Mohammedan majority at city hall.
 
And so, the European Union has become easy prey for those interested in establishing terror cells and misusing the benefits of living in Europe. These Jihad groups view the EU as a bulbous, atrophied body that is an easy victim for their schemes. These are al-Qaeda's grandchildren already, who are no longer operating in the name of veteran leaders and usually don't even know them. They are an original European product. Some of them travel to the Middle East or to Afghanistan, come in contact with terror elements, and import the ideas, and arms, to Europe. At times there is no need for it, as the Internet is a superb guide and many youngsters are exposed to violent Islamic information without speaking a word of Arabic.
 
For long years, senior EU officials felt they were living in a remote, calm island, looking from above at the Third World and Islam, or at least this is how they hoped to view themselves. Yet this is no longer the case. And this truth, which has now pervaded the hearts of millions in La Belle France following the Toulouse massacre, is horrifying them. It is not the Jews whom the French are now thinking of; first and foremost, they fear for themselves.

The Yoots of course don't have that problem since the state provides for all their needs - and even encourages them to have lots and lots and lots of kids.

#7 
They richly deserve whatever is coming to them. I wonder if their survival instincts will kick in. If they do, it will be quite the treat watching the wholesale slaughter of muzzies in Yurp.

#8  I for one am going to laugh my head off when Europe finally panics. I've always figured it will be the French who "deal" with it first. Once they do, Germany and the rest will quickly follow.

Laptop Of Toulouse Shooter's Brother Located Near School
Experts have used cellular tracking technology to determine that a laptop belonging to Abdelkader Merah, the brother of Toulouse gunman Mohamed Merah, was located near the Jewish school where the latter rubbed out four people on Monday. The computer appeared to have been near the scene of the shooting on the day of the attack.
 
Abdelkader, who has been taken in for questioning in Gay Paree, denied involvement in his brother's shooting spree.
"Lies! All lies!"
Earlier on Saturday, Merah's brother was flown to Gay Paree for further questioning , along with his girlfriend, but a lawyer for Merah's mother, 55-year-old Zoulhika Aziri, said she had been released without charge.

Jean-Yves Gougnaud told news hounds in the southern French city of Toulouse that Aziri's world had been "turned upside down."

"She is devastated," he told news hounds after her release. "At no time could she have imagined that her son was the one who did it."
 
Aziri was freed late Friday from a cop shoppe in Toulouse, a judicial official said on condition of anonymity because the information wasn't cleared for public release.
 
Police have found explosives in a car Abdelkader owned, according to the public prosecutor leading the case. He was already known to security services for having helped smuggle jihadist bully boyz into Iraq in 2007.

#1  Oh, but they're no al-Qaida! No, no, Mohamed Merah was clearly a lone wolf.

But her pleadings, I denied,
That leave only me to blame
For those who died."
