But it was no joke.
It was a beautiful spring day in the brave new France, and so a couple of New Frenchmen decided to go into a bar. They did not, however, have cold beer, or this being France, a cool glass of white wine, on their minds.
The French-language publication Sud Ouest reported on Monday that “two brothers in their forties threatened to kill bar patrons in the name of Allah on Friday, April 10, in Mauléon-Licharre, in the Basque Country. They will be tried in June for violence and death threats, as the prosecution did not pursue a terrorist charge.” Celebrate diversity! Or as they put it in France these days, احتفوا بالتنوع!
As you might expect, however, not everyone had diversity at the very top of his mind when the scene in the bar unfolded. Up until the Muslim brothers entered, it had been a supremely pleasant evening: “On Friday, April 10, around 10:30 p.m., while about ten people were peacefully seated on the terrace of this lively bar in downtown Mauléon-Licharre, in the Basque Country, two heavily intoxicated individuals arrived.”
Those were the two Muslim brothers, who, despite having apparently imbibed the alcohol that Allah had forbidden, remembered their devotion to Allah long enough to start issuing threats, which “deeply affected the bar’s patrons and manager.”
It seems that “the situation quickly escalated between these two brothers, both in their forties, and some of the bar’s customers, before spiraling out of control. One of them grabbed a knife from a charcuterie board, making threats. Customers immediately took it from him. The two men, of Algerian origin, left and then returned with broken bottles, ready to fight. According to several witnesses, they then made death threats in the name of their God: ‘Allahu Akbar,’ ‘Allah is strong,’ and ‘Allah will kill,’ they reportedly said repeatedly.”
“Allah will kill” is an interesting thing for them to have said. If they had killed anyone, it would have been Allah doing the killing, for the Qur’an designates Muslims the executors of Allah’s wrath: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers, and he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-15) --->READ MORE HERE
