Update:
Mohamed Merah has a father. And he’s planning to sue:
ALGIERS — The Islamist
gunmanserial-killer whose murder spree shocked France will be buried in his ancestral homeland Algeria, his father told AFP Monday, adding that he planned to sue France over his son’s death.
I told you the funeral will be massive!

In a prior report, Mohamed Merah’s brother Abdelkader said “I am very proud of my brother. I regret nothing for him and approve of what he did.”
This development barely begins to unravel the trail of money and contacts that made it possible for Mohamed, who was on welfare, to travel extensively and amass weapons, but it is a start. “French gunman’s brother suspected of complicity,” from Reuters, March 25:
Why did the ABC promote this vile white-wash?
“Soft hearted” like brother Tariq?
More on the vile Tariq Ramadan white-wash of the “soft-hearted” Toulouse jihadist which the ABC yesterday promoted:
Britain’s Daily Mail, March 22:
(MOHAMMED) Merah (was) jailed in Afghanistan in 2007 for helping to run a bomb factory. . . and was known to have attended an al-Qa’ida training camp on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Arrested for kidnapping a man and sword-waving rampaging around his neighbourhood where he screamed “al-Qa’ida”, police soon let him go.Tariq Ramadan, the editor’s choice on the religion and ethics page of your ABC online:
MOHAMMED Merah is rather like an overgrown adolescent—unemployed, at a loose end, soft-hearted . . . Religion was not (his) problem . . . He was a young man adrift, imbued neither with the values of Islam, nor driven by racism and anti-Semitism.
My take yesterday here.
UPDATE
Another extraordinary whitewash on the ABC’s The Drum:
It may be worth noting – however one feels about Merah’s grievances, they are plainly secular.
Only “secular” grievances? So on which secular grounds did he shoot Jewish children, and praise Allah as he killed?:
Merah had filmed all three killings, and claimed to have posted them online. Police have viewed the videos… When killing two other paratroopers four days later in the nearby town of Montauban, he cried out “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great” in Arabic.
Why these plainly deceptive attempts to write Islam out of the script? Why does the ABC publish such clearly false claims?
UPDATE
First he raises a killer, and then he sues those who had to stop him:
Mohamed Benalel Merah … hit out against France for having shot his son instead of taking him alive at the end of a 32-hour siege at his apartment in Toulouse.
“France is a big country that had the means to take my son alive..,” he said. “They preferred to kill him.”
“I will hire the biggest named lawyers and work for the rest of my life to pay (their) costs. I will sue France for having killing my son.”
A normal man would apologise for such a son. Indeed, if anyone should be sued, it’s the father who produced him.

The scum that Hollande employs:
The Minister of Justice
As I mentioned two days ago, Christiane Taubira, the author of a 2001 law designating slavery as a crime against humanity, has been named minister of Justice. Three of my older posts relate to her law and her position on slavery:
From May 2006: the text of the 2001 law. Here are Articles 1 and 2:
Article 1 -
The French Republic recognizes both the transatlantic and Indian Ocean Negro slave trade, on the one hand, and slavery itself, on the other, that were practiced from the 15th century, in the Americas, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, and Europe against African, Amerindian, Malagasy and Indian populations, as constituting crimes against humanity.
Article 2 -
School curricula and research projects in the fields of history and the human sciences will accord to the subjects of the Negro slave trade and slavery the important place they deserve. A spirit of cooperation will be encouraged and supported in order to make readily available the written archives in Europe, along with oral sources and archeological records that have accumulated in Africa, in the Americas, in the Caribbean and in all other territories subjected to slavery.
(…)
Note: Taubira’s law does not mention the Arab-Muslim slave trade or the exactions inflicted on Negros by Muslims.
From May 2008: the decision by Nicolas Sarkozy to designate May 23 as a day commemorating abolition. Sarkozy originally wanted May 10, the date of the law itself, but leftist opposition pushed him into electing May 23, the day, in 1998, when 40,000 Frenchmen from overseas departments marched in Paris.
From June 2008: an interview with Tidiane N’Diaye, a Senegalese writer and economist, and a Muslim, who exposes the crucial role played by the Arab-Muslim wars and Negro slave trade in keeping African countries backward. He refutes the notion that the transatlantic trade was the only factor in Africa’s fate and reveals the extreme brutality used against the Negros by the Arab-Muslims.
In my introduction to the above post, I referred to a statement made by Mme Taubira in response to critics who reproach her for placing the entire blame for Africa’s economic and cultural backwardness on the shoulders of the West:
(…) the Negro slave trade practiced by Arab-Muslims must not be brought up too often so that “young Arabs do not bear on their shoulders all the weight of the heritage of Arab misdeeds.”
Had François Hollande made her minister for Overseas Affairs, it would have made some sense. But as minister of Justice for all of France, she may impose a degree of judicial terrorism never before seen, resulting in even greater suffocation of the truth and deformation of the reality faced by the people in their daily lives.
I wondered about her qualifications to be minister of Justice. Does she have a law degree? According to Nouvel Observateur:
(…) But this out-of-the-ordinary orator, with her fiery temperament, has had less success in local elections: she failed twice, in 1995 and 2001, to win the post of mayor of Cayenne, and in 2010, she lost in the regional elections.
Born in Cayenne in 1952, into a modest family where her mother raised six children by herself, Christiane Taubira has a doctorate in economic and agro-alimentary sciences with graduate degrees in sociology and Afro-American ethnology. Divorced, she is the mother of four.
It seems that the post of minister of Justice is now reserved for unqualified non-European women. Nicolas Sarkozy’s first Justice minister was Rachida Dati, a Muslim woman who, to her credit, did almost nothing. Let’s hope Mme Taubira does likewise.
Update: May 18 – Just after posting I found an item at Nations Presse revealing that Mme Taubira, as deputy in the National Assembly, had been convicted in September 2004, by the council of prud’hommes of Paris for not having paid her assistant, Sylvia Edom, the overtime accrued between October 2002 and April 2003. The council also ruled that Edom’s dismissal was “abusive”.
So far, François Hollande has appointed three persons with past convictions or indictments, despite his solemn promise not to hire anyone with a record. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, convicted of favoritism, Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira, convicted of unethical conduct within the National Assembly, and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, indicted for voluntary manslaughter in the affair of contaminated blood in 1999 and later exonerated. More on that later.
