French Atheist Nicolas Bons Dies Waging Jihad After Converting to Islam

We live in a time of unparalleled idiocy. Islam commands its adherents to violently subjugate or kill unbelievers (Qur’an 9:29, 9:73, 9:123, etc.). Because some Muslims ignore these commands, we pretend that the commands don’t exist. Meanwhile, Muslims who actually follow the commands are busy waging jihad, and the only thing our leaders and the media do in response is praise Islam and condemn critics of Islam. Politicians and the media thus help protect the message of Islam, and this leads to more conversions, which leads to more jihad.

Nicolas Bons was raised as an atheist, and he was known for being timid. After he converted to Islam, he became increasingly violent, and he died in a terrorist attack in Syria. Was his violent behavior following his conversion to Islam a mere coincidence?

To all those who constantly assure us that Islam is no different from other religions, do you think that Nicolas would have died in such an attack if he had converted to Christianity, or to Mormonism, or to Buddhism?

Nicolas Bons

TOULOUSE, France — When Dominique Bons’ timid son stopped smoking overnight and started praying frequently at his home in the southern French city of Toulouse, she alerted the authorities.

They did nothing because Nicolas was not suspected of any crime. One day last year he disappeared. Then Bons was sent a text message saying the 30-year-old had been “martyred” on December 22 driving a truck bomb in the Syrian city of Homs.

He grew up in a middle class suburb to atheist parents but converted to Islam in 2009. Like his younger half-brother who died in Syria months earlier, he joined the al Qaeda splinter group, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

They are among a growing number of people, an estimated 2,000 so far, who have left European states to fight alongside Islamist rebels in Syria to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad. Europe’s authorities are struggling to stem the flow.

Bons is angry that her efforts to alert the government to a potential problem were ignored and is also convinced that the strategy of France and other European countries of jailing those caught trying to get to Syria makes the situation worse.

“It’s crazy,” said Bons, a retired military secretary who has set up a support group for parents of children who have been radicalized. “In jail they will be reinforced in their desire to go back to Syria… It seems like they (the government) are doing whatever they can to ensure that this continues.”

In March, three men aged 21 to 26 were arrested at an airport in eastern France for sentenced to between two and six years for conspiracy to commit terrorist acts.

The population of French prisons is estimated to be up to 70 percent Muslim. Moderate preachers employed by the state are lacking, so a void is filled by untrained imams who preach a Salafist or hardline form of Islam and hatred of the West.

Radical Islamist Mohamed Merah, who killed seven people in and around Toulouse in 2012, is thought to have sharpened some of his ideas during a stint in jail. (Continue Reading.)
