Perpetrator of French Stabbing Attack Was Muslim

Last week I posted about a stabbing attack in France involving a Middle-Eastern man apparently angered that he had been denied refugee status in France. What set this apart from other similar attacks was the man was wearing a crucifix and declared himself to be Christian. Turns out the Christian angle was a sham: the man was Muslim.

The French-language news site Resistance Républicaine reported Monday that “Syrians living in France and Germany” have recognized the attacker as a “madman of Allah,” and that the identification has been confirmed by others as well. The attacker, according to those who have recognized him, is actually a Muslim named Selwan Majd, “a refugee from Al-Hasakah in northern Syria.”

As I suspected when I wrote about this last week, the Syrian refugee's claim to be Christian was just a sham intended to assist his pursuit of being admitted as a refugee and, eventually, be extended citizenship. The article goes on to point out that lying is common among those seeking refugee status:

Resistance Républicaine also notes that numerous refugees have given European authorities a great deal of false information. That’s certainly true. In Sweden several years ago, it was revealed that 5,460 of 7,000 Afghan “child migrants” were actually adults. In Britain, more than 2,000 adult migrants have been caught lying about their age and pretending to be children. Many migrants have claimed to be Christian, thinking that doing so would help their claim for asylum. Back in 2021, also in Britain, a man Enzo Almeni, who had converted to Christianity to get asylum in Britain, returned to Islam and became a jihad suicide bomber.
