    Most horrific crime ever. Fortunately, a French guy fought him, even though that guy was only "armed" with a backpack.

    France: ‘Christian’ who stabbed children on playground turns out to be a Muslim named Selwan Majd

    “The Annecy terrorist is a Syrian Muslim named Selwan Majd…,” translated from “Le terroriste d’Annecy serait un Syrien musulman nommé Selwan Majd…,” by Christine Tasin, Resistance Républicaine, June 12, 2023:

    Here is what is circulating from Syrians living in France and Germany who recognized the madman of Allah. And this was confirmed by relatives of Father Boulad in Alexandria…

    To be continued.

    From the beginning we said that it cannot be a Christian… and that it has the signs of being done by a Muslim…

    The assailant is said to be a Syrian refugee named Selwan Majd…

    He claimed his name was Abd El-Messih Hanoun, but his real name is “Selwan Majd,” a refugee from Al-Hasakah in northern Syria.

    He had traveled to Turkey with false papers where he met a Swedish tourist and made her believe he was a Muslim convert to Christianity.

    He married her in Sweden under the false Christian name, but the Swedish authorities doubted him and refused to grant him citizenship, later his wife separated from him.

    In France, he went to seek help in a church but the church also doubted him.

    He committed his crime by wearing a cross, claiming he was a Christian in order to hide his terrorist nature.

    Unfortunately, the European authorities have acquired a lot of false information recorded either by the refugees themselves or by the Turkish authorities.

    Thousands of people infiltrated European countries and became sleeper cells.

    Most horrific crime ever? Seriously?

    "The six people wounded in the attack did not have any life threatening injuries and have been examined by a forensic doctor, according to the prosecutor, who added that the four children remain in hospital."

    Stabbing babies in their push chair...I mean...what kind of depraved person does that. Of course, there has to be a complete moron like @Xopher who is like...no big deal, they didn't die.

    If not for this guy with his backpack, this would have likely ended much worse. He didn't run away, he kept confronting the Islamist.

    You said "most horrific crime ever". I would think any school shooting would be more horrific than a tragic stabbing where no one died. Oh but a supposed Muslim did it so it is the "most horrific crime ever".

    If you have nothing better to do than to nitpick words when someone stabs babies in a push chair, I have no words for you. We already knew you are a vile, hateful person, but you are pathetic beyond belief.

    That article sounds super xenophobic. Also, I don't understand how pretending to be Christian helps in doing an attack. As for the horrific nature, we've had multiple mass shootings in elementary schools with many deaths. A euro stabbing attack is going to have a hard time competing.

    It is not nitpicking when you call it the "most horrific crime ever" Any sane person would disagree with that statement. Odd how you didn't post this story when it happened days ago until it comes out he may be a Muslim and not a Christian. Same old schtick with you.

    This is not about the mass murder Olympics, my goodness, I expected better of you. It was an expression of disgust - of course, mass shootings are horrible, and more deadly. But it takes a special kind of depravity to stab a baby in their push chair with a knife. As horrible as it sounds (and it's part of what makes guns so terrible and dangerous), it's probably easier for a perpetrator to overcome whatever remaining inhibition threshold they have if they are shooting people from a distance...but to stab a knife into an innocent baby in a push chair, you have to actually get really close.

    The "pretending to be a Christian" was to get asylum granted.

    Own it. It wasn't the most horrific ever. His response was 100% valid.

    You guys really are morons.

    Again, this is not about mass murder olympics. It was not a comparative statement in terms of the outcome, it was an expression of disgust as to how low someone can sink, to stab innocent babies in their push chairs.

    You leftists really have a screw loose.

    I think we can all agree it was horrific. Nobody is saying the attack was a good thing. But when every bad event is described as "the worst ever" it lessens the power and significance of the "worst ever".

    When "worst ever" is misused in attempt to demonize an entire particular group, it loses even more meaning.

    It immediately seemed fishy to me, sad how Tagesschau and other German media happily parroted how it isn't a terrorist act because he was Christian and brought in for psychiatric evaluation.

    And oh surprise, so far absolutely no clarifications or updates based on the new findings yet.

    Yes, the media in Europe made a big deal out of him supposedly being Christian, then swept it under the rug when the real facts came out.

    People like this leftist guy on Twitter (ironically calied Christian Christensen lol) were literally gloating when they thought he was a Christian.



    Watch him never correct himself, quietly delete that tweet, or bury it under other propaganda.

    It's of course horrible regardless of whatever religion the attacker has and whatever the depraved motivation is.

    Just interesting to watch how the media treats it, how leftists try to downplay it (as we have seen on this thread), and how leftists even attack the guy who fought the attacker. Such warped minds.

    So you are telling me Muslims don't convert to Christianity? How about googling "Muslims converting to Christianity" Christians are claiming hundreds of thousands or even millions are converting. So you take the word of right wing media telling you he is Muslim because people who knew him before he converted say he was Muslim. Well no kidding. Yes some people have abused it for asylum, but you are taking the word of jihadwatch when they specifically state there is no way this guy could be a Christian because a Christian wouldn't do this. That is completely asinine. Christian's commit all kinds of atrocities just like others.

    It happened almost a week ago. Yet nothing from you. It was all over the news, yet not a peep from you. You didn't say a word about it until some right wing anti-muslim rag made these claims. You would have never posted this if this guy wasn't a "Muslim".

    It didn't become the "most horrific crime ever" until a supposed Muslim committed it. You are disingenuous. No one said the crime wasn't horrific. It is. I don't give a damn who committed it. You on the other hand didn't give a damn until it was a Muslim.

    Two immediate thoughts:

    1) The source posted by OP seems sketchy AF. Not making a value judgment on the claim (seems plausible enough), just a really shitty report.

    2) For "the most horrific crime ever" It's extremely odd how OP was silent for an entire week until the identity of the attacker switched from Christian to Muslim.

    Couldn’t it have been a terrorist attacking even if was a Christian?

    Horrible story but at least he didn’t have a firearm. It’s sad to say it but if this happened in the US most likely it would’ve been done with a firearm.

    Why didn’t you post about it when it was initially reported that it was a Christian? Why did you wait until it is reported it was a Muslim to post about it?

    You're the one who made it about the "mass murder olympics" when you said most horrific crime ever.

    A day care was in the building blown up in OKC and 19 children were killed. McVeigh knew there was a day care in there.

    Another 19 children were gunned down in Uvalde.

    There are plenty of others.

    What that man did was truly horrific and it takes s special evil to do that and may traumatize those kids for life, but at least they have a life.
