Academic Stabbed to Death for ‘Insulting Mohammed’ During Lecture
NRO ^ | 7 Dec 2018 | Jack Crowe

Posted on 12/07/2018 7:58:34 PM PST by Rummyfan

An Irish lecturer was stabbed to death by a student outside the Paris university where he taught on Wednesday for allegedly insulting the prophet Mohammed by displaying a drawing of him during class.

John Dowling, 66, was speaking with a student, identified by authorities only as Ali R., following a lecture when the 37-year old student fatally stabbed him 13 times in the throat and chest.

The suspect, who is set to be indicted for murder on Friday, told the authorities that, while he killed Dowling to defend his faith against a perceived slight, he has also long maintained a personal grudge against the lecturer, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

Government prosecutor Catherine Denis said that Ali has nurtured an ‘obsessive resentment’ against the university since it expelled him in September 2017.

“He came to France two years ago to join the management school, but did not pass his first year,” she said. “Since then he had been returning to the college, and had become unwanted to the point that he was not allowed in any more.”

Ali’s explanation for carrying out the murder, however, cited Dowling’s display of a drawing of the prophet Mohammed during class.

Frankly, we are not that far away from such murders of conservatives in the U.S. by feminists, warmists, antifa, abortion lovers, trans lovers, radical homos, Democrats, the “Resistance,” BLM, et al. The whole panoply of radical left wing kooks wants us dead and they have been saying that very plainly the past few years. I’m surprised the killing fields have not yet begun.

Not sure about now, but a few years ago, many of them here were, too. Some of them, career students...taking advantage. I lived near Oklahoma City University in the 80s. I lived next door to 2 guys from Yemen. They bashed America a lot.

Well, I’m glad they got that in.

Otherwise we might think this is just another Muslim terrorist.

He’s just your garden-variety-happy-go-lucky-stabby-the-clown.

O.K. give him a letter with a stern warning that this is frowned upon.

The victim was Irish but all the other people quoted are French officials, the incident happened in France, so I don’t see how any of their remarks reveal any particular attitudes of Irish people towards Muslims. From what I read on line in Ireland, it’s not much different from the U.S., and there’s a realistic understanding of the dangers involved, unlike in some European countries.

Should receive a light sentence. He had a legitimate reason defending the religion of peace. Perhaps some counseling would do.

It’s striking how these people ‘think’ even when the clear cut evidence is right in front of them bleeding... and the man admitted it was because of Islam he did the knifing.

Even more is the fact mulsim leadership are laughing their butts off while all these people turn their heads every way possible to avoid the truth in front of them...

The world was not able to process 9/11/2001. Especially the liberal side of America.

They keep thinking they can appease the animals. They are under delusion.
