The motives of non-Muslims fighting back or being critical of Islam are always apparent. They’re always horrible bigots.
But the motives of Muslims stabbing people is always a mystery. No one can really be sure of what their real motives are. As Obama famously liked to say “let’s not jump to any conclusions” with the unspoken addendum “unless it’s a police officer shooting a drug dealer in a Democrat district.”
What was the motive of the latest “Allahu Akbar” shouting stabber by the name of Abdelkader? It’s a mystery, folks. We’ll probably never solve it.
French police shot a man dead on Tuesday after he allegedly stabbed five people in the centre of Marseille.
Do we really need the “allegedly” in there? Were the people not actually stabbed? Is there a mysterious ‘second stabber’ out there? Are we concerned that the terrorists will come back to life and sue?
The suspect, armed with two knives and an iron bar, tried to stab people at random and “without provocation” in a violent rampage, said Nicolas Bessonne, the Marseille public prosecutor.
According to Le Figaro, the assailant was a Tunisian man under judicial supervision and prohibited from carrying weapons.
An interior ministry source told The Telegraph that no motives had yet been ruled out but that “we must remain cautious over whether this is terror-related”.
Let’s take a microscope and closely examine his motive?
But the man began reciting verses from the Koran before rushing towards them and ignoring their orders to drop the weapons, according to Le Figaro.
It’s a clear mystery. Will probably never be solved. May be mental illness. Or the price of tea. Anything but the things he was shouting after he stabbed a bunch of people and just before he rushed at armed law enforcement forcing them to kill him.

The profile of Abdelkader D., the 35-year-old Tunisian who injured five people in a knife attack in Marseille before being shot dead by police , is becoming clearer.
“At first, I met someone kind and pleasant ,” Sophie told us. According to her version, the man, originally from a small Tunisian village located not far from the Algerian border, arrived illegally in France in 2018 from Italy via the Alps. According to her, he passed through several administrative detention centers (CRA) in 2020 before being released during the Covid period and returning to La Rochelle.
He had also been previously arrested for shouting hateful things about Jews in front of a mosque. So not a thing to do with Islam.
“The attacker spoke words, but it’s not for me to say,” France’s Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau commented Tuesday evening. “Words were spoken in Arabic.”
Words were spoken. They were in Arabic. What do they mean? It’s not for Bruno to say.
