Another underreported story, this one from last June, affords us a glimpse into the Muslim-Infidel divide that has riven French society — in this case, it took place behind prison walls, where a Muslim prisoner tortured and then murdered his non-Muslim cellmate. More on this tale of torture-cum-murder can be found here: “France: Violent French-Arab inmate accused of torturing his cellmate to death over a period of 2 weeks in extremely overcrowded prison,” Remix News, June 24, 2025:
A French inmate with an extremely violent history, Lofti H., is accused of torturing his cellmate to death over two weeks in the Vezin prison near Rennes.
On June 16, Lofti H. was charged with “murder aggravated by acts of torture or barbarity” against his fellow inmate, Alexis B., a 25-year-old man suffering from significant “fecal incontinence problems” and psychological problems.
Alexis B. was discovered unconscious early Saturday, June 14, by prison guards.
An investigation has determined that the man was subjected to extreme torture over the course of two weeks. An autopsy was conducted on the body.
According to preliminary findings of the investigation, “acts of torture and barbarity” were allegedly inflicted on the victim, with “injuries of various ages” discovered on his body, including burns.
During his appearance before the Rennes investigating judge, Lotfi H. admitted to inflicting “extremely severe” blows on his cellmate, rating their intensity at “nine” on a scale of one to 10. However, his lawyer, Me Sobieslaw Bemmoussat, stated that Lotfi H. denies any intent to kill Alexis B. or any acts of torture.
The forensics experts found evidence of “acts of torture and barbarity” that had been inflicted by Lofti H. not all at once, but over a two-week period. They also found burn marks on the body of the Frenchman, and signs — bruises, deep hematomas — of his having been repeatedly beaten. Lofti H. denies “any intent to kill Alexis B.,” but the evidence of such intent is written all over the martyred corpse of Alexis B.
Sources told Le Parisien, Alexis B. was alone in a cell with his fellow inmate, Lotfi H., a 26-year-old from Nantes whose criminal record includes 22 mentions for acts committed between 2013 and 2025, including a number of violent acts….
Right before his cellmate was found dead, Lofti H. reportedly “asked for help” from the guards because he could “no longer stand the smells in the cell” coming from Alexis B. However, he claimed that no guards came to help him….
I wonder if Lofti H.’s cellmate had been a fellow Muslim, also suffering from the same malady Alexis B. ,would he have tortured him to death? I think it was not only the”fecal incontinence” of Alexis B. that led his Muslim cellmate to torture and murder him, but the fact that he was an Unbeliever, and thus “one of the most vile of created beings.” He was making life unpleasant for Lofti, a Muslim and thus one of the “best of peoples.” Alexis B. did not deserve to live. And what fun it must have been to torture him slowly in so many ways — punches, kicks, pushing him down and then stomping on him, crushing lit cigarettes against his skin, and so much more. He had it coming: Alexis B. was an Infidel.
There is a bigger problem in French, and indeed in other European prisons. Muslims are represented in much larger numbers behind bars than they are in the general population. In France, Muslims are 10% of the population, but more than half of the prison population. They are the “biggest gang” in French prisons, and non-Muslims, fearful of their own safety in prison, sometimes convert to Islam in order to enjoy the security provided by fellow Muslims. The only way to stop this massive conversion to Islam of those who were already criminals is to separate Muslim from non-Muslim prisoners, keeping them in separate wings of a prison, where they are given meals in separate halls, exercise in the yard at different times, and work in different parts of the prison. A much better solution would be to have Muslims and non-Muslims assigned to different prisons, as a way of discouraging conversions to Islam. It would take a brave politician to suggest such a policy. Who is willing to step up to that particular plate? Geert Wilders? Jordan Bardella? Eric Zemmour?
