#3 he was armed with a mini-Uzi 9mm machine pistol

Doesn't handling that Jewish weapon contaminate him?

#4 He committed suicide while running away from Infidels. He murdered children.

Nevertheless, he will be a hero in the Arab world. Do a poll in the Arab world, who is the bigger hero, Mohammad Merah or Mohamed Bouazizi. Lets see who would win. That face shot from the Drudge Report will be the new Che picture for Islamists.

#5 Oh, 'jumped' did he?

â¢ Video surveillance equipment was sent into the flat and when it approached the bathroom Merah jumped out âall guns blazingâ armed with a sub machine gun.
â¢ After a fierce fire fight lasting around four minutes Merah jumped through the window of his apartment and over the balcony. As he did so he was shot in the head and died from his wounds.

#6 Islam certainly seems to attract those with violent tendencies, doesn't it. Gives them the excuse they need to express what they can't seem to control.

#8 Merah claimed to have received al-Qaeda training in Pakistan's Waziristan area, and also said he had been to Afghanistan. Common theme re Waziristan but still the Pak army do nothing.

#10 The self-confessed al-Qaeda militant was suspected....

Isn't about time "self-radicalization" is rejected as a narrative myth to soothe muzi sensibilities?

#12 I can hear that AK from time to time.

#13 I've always been under the impression that it would be pretty frickin hard for a Moroccan to buy an AK-47, an Uzi, and acquire GRENADES in France. This guy was no lone wolf. That stuff is really hard to get in France. This guy was clearly al-Qaida affiliated, and took his time to prepare these attacks. The weaponry would've cost thousands of Euros, I'd imagine. Where did he get the money to fly to Pakistan and buy all these weapons? Lone wolf my beef.

#14 The French + possible "sieges" of such Gunmen = Terrorists, may had only just begun ....

To wit,

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > FRENCH ATTACK COULD INSPIRE NEXT/NEW GENERATION OF TERRORISTS: EXPERT. Similar Terror by "Lone Wolves" as poten waged throughout Europe.

* SAME > TOULOUSE SHOOTING: 80 FRENCH NATIONALS
"TRAINING WID PAKISTAN TALIBAN [TTP]", mostly in NW Pakland = North Waziristan but some in South Waziristan also???

ARTIC = also denotes...
> PAK-BASED TTP MILITANTS = are CLOSELY WATCHING THE EVENTS IN FRANCE.
> FIVE TERRORISTS [fully trained?] LEFT PAK BACK IN JANUARY 2012 - Final Destinations, Plans cannot be confirmed or denied by the TTP.

* SAME > TOULOUSE GUNMAN SUSPECTED OF TRAINING IN PAKISTAN [ + Afghanistan].

* TOPIX > THE JIHAD IN EUROPE.

NO more or not much of a UK Royal Navy anymore = CHARLES MARTEL + BATTLE OF TOURS II IN FRANCE???
