Deaf Islamic convert is named as Paris police HQ attacker: IT worker who fell out with supervisor 'after he refused to deal with women' slaughters four colleagues, including female officer, with a knife - as police arrest Muslim wife

Michael Harpon, 45, stabbed and killed four colleagues with a ceramic knife

The knifeman was shot dead in the courtyard of the Paris police headquarters

Colleagues said he had worked there for 20 years and had security clearance

Union bosses described the attack as a 'moment of madness' and internal row

Anti-terror agencies are 'evaluating' the situation, the Paris prosecutor said

Emmanuel Macron has gone to the police headquarters to show his 'solidarity'

A deaf civilian police worker who had recently converted to Islam was shot dead in Paris today after murdering four colleagues with a ceramic knife following a 'dispute over working with female colleagues'.

Michael Harpon, 45, caused the bloodbath in the French capital's historic Police Prefecture, next door to Notre Dame Cathedral.

Investigators have not ruled out a possible terrorist motivation for the Thursday afternoon attack, which left a woman and three men dead.

All were repeatedly stabbed by Harpon, who had worked in the IT department at the Prefecture since 2003, in the worst loss of French police lives in a single day since World War II.

Harpon had recently been reprimanded by his female boss over his refusal to interact with women, Actu17 reported.

Buddhist converts go to monasteries to meditate
Christian converts open soup kitchens or gospel ministries
Jewish converts go to their mother-in-law’s house for Passover.

Muslim converts have the need to kill people

Well I had just about been convinced that he wasn’t a Muslim. I won’t make that mistake again.

BTW, ceramic knives are expensive.

He's worked there for 20 years. No trouble.

A deaf civilian police worker who had recently converted to Islam was shot dead in Paris today after murdering four colleagues with a ceramic knife following a 'dispute over working with female colleagues'.

What a stellar little cult of death they have.

Harpon, who was deaf since childhood, was originally from the Caribbean island of Martinique – a French overseas territory.

He had been married since 2014, and converted to his wife’s religion in 2018 before they had their first child together.

France: Man who stabbed four police officers to death converted to Islam 18 months ago
OCT 3, 2019 1:13 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

“Kill them wherever you find them.” (Quran 2:191)

“Kill them wherever you find them.” (Qur’an 4:89)

“Kill the polytheists wherever you find them.” (Qur’an 9:5)

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks.” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Attack at the Prefecture: what is known about the assailant,” translated from “Attaque à la Préfecture: ce que l’on sait de l’assaillant,” BFMTV, October 3, 2019 (thanks to BD):

Four police officers were killed on Thursday at the police headquarters in Paris. The attacker was shot. He was an administrative official in that préfecture….According to reports, the assailant had converted to Islam 18 months ago.

They must have come way down. I remember when they first came out they were over $300.

BTW, Speaking of Walmart and knives, I purchased 8 or 9 Spyderco, Ruger, and SOG on clearance two weeks ago for $6 to $9 each. The SOG had been $29 and the Spyderco, $54.96.

Every single one was made in China but while I would prefer U.S. made, I had a hundred dollar Spyderco maybe 20 years ago and these are beautifully made. I can’t believe how much Chinese stuff has improved.

Everyone here called that immediately (except the deaf part, which Big Media wants us to believe is mitigating).

“They got a taste of diversity is our strength.”

As four cops died while others apparently needed to find a firearm.

“a ‘dispute over working with female colleagues’. “

This is 2019. You’re going to need to get over that.

Simply put but a grave fact that our society is ignoring.
