Three ISIS sympathizers stab a Jewish teacher in France

[DemocratSinceBirth]

A teacher at a Jewish school in the southern French city of Marseilles was stabbed on Wednesday by three people professing support for Islamic State, but his life was not in danger, prosecutors said.

Three people on two scooters, one of them wearing an Islamic State t-shirt, approached the teacher in the street, Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin told Reuters.

Another showed a picture on his mobile telephone of Mohamed Merah, a homegrown Islamist militant who killed seven people in a series of attacks in southern France in 2012.

“The three people insulted, threatened and then stabbed their victim in the arm and leg. They were interrupted by the arrival of a car and fled,” Robin added.

1. More Jews will be moving out of France.

I hope the man is ok.

2. They said he's alive and not in critical condition.

Edit: I think they also said it was in Marseille (not Paris).

5. Thanks for the update. It's nice to get good news.

The poor people of France must really be on edge right now...and yes, I do include those muslims would could be the victims of hate crime.

4. Sad...

[Iliyah]

6. WTF, damn

[smirkymonkey]

7. Ok, so these are muslims who are not "terrorists" but are ISIS sympathizers?

How many more are like that? They might not have killed anybody, but they are still a threat to the public.

8. The DU theory that there is no such thing as antisemitism is not holding up to scrutiny.

There are several posters on this site I consider to be very antisemitic, one of them Kelliekat44 finally got PPR'd after years of anti gay and anti Jewish posts. Another who attacked Bernie and characterized him in various bad ways. I hope KellieKat44 is not the last of these posters to get the sack. I hope her cohort is paying heed, clown time is over.

9. yeah, well, the Charlie Hebdo attacks were the fault of the cartoonists, too, yaknow.

The attackers the other night blamed "obscenity and prostitution" so probably before long someone will show up to assert that those attacks were the fault of Larry Flynt and Amnesty International's statement on decriminalizing sex work.

11. One of the things people also seem to forget...

...Jews were attacked then, 4 killed, yet it is either ignored, trivialized, excused, or worse, called "collateral damage" or "blowback."

[Warren DeMontague]

12. yeah, those discussions are always fun.

or should I say, "fun".
