Debbie Schlussel: Ilani Halimi Trial Begins Today: Muslim Gang Tortured Jewish Guy to Death


By Debbie Schlussel

Today, the trial of the Muslim killers of Ilan Halimi began. Unfortunately, the trial is closed because two of the TWENTY-SEVEN barbarian Muslims (redundant) who murdered him are minors.

Three years ago, I told you the story of how Halimi, of blessed memory, was kidnapped by a Muslim gang of 27 in France, after luring him with an attractive woman. The Muslims, headed by Youssouf Fofana, held Halimi captive for 24 days, while they tortured him and called his parents who heard his screams in the background, while his torturers shouted anti-Semitic slurs. For 24 days, the Muslims burned Ilan Halimi with cigarettes and an iron, beat him, cut off his fingers, and otherwise brutally tortured him. His "crime": He was a Jew.

Throughout, Muslim neighbors in the building heard his screams and cries from torture. And they did nothing. In the end, the Muslims dumped his mostly lifeless, cut-up, burned body (80% of it was covered in burns) on railroad tracks, and he died shortly thereafter. He was only 23.

From the coverage of today's first day of trial:

The leader of the "barbarians," Youssouf Fofana, smirked at Halimi's relatives and shouted "Allahu akbar!" ("God is Greatest!" in Arabic) [DS: Um, it actually means "allah is the greater" or "the greatest," meaning greater than your or my G-d] at them as he entered the courtroom.

Bearded and wearing a white tracksuit, Fofana gave his identity during formal questioning by the judge as "Arabs African revolt barbarian salafist army."

The 28-year-old said he was born on February 13, 2006, in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois, the date and place of Halimi's death.

During his time in detention, Fofana, a young French man of Ivorian origin, has bombarded the magistrates investigating the case with letters full of anti-Semitic insults. . . .

After the murder, Fofana fled to Ivory Coast. From there he made death threats by telephone to Halimi's father and girlfriend. He was extradited to France on March 4, 2006.

From previous coverage of the Halimi murder:

The items found in the torture chamber included extremist Islamic literature and leaflets of a pro-Palestinian charity blacklisted by the United States and Israel. The charity, the Comite de Bienfaisance et de Soutien aux Palestiniens (CBSP), a Hamas-affiliated fund, is still active in France despite the exposure of its members and financial support tying it directly to terrorist activities in the Palestinian Authority. What happened to Ilan is not the first attempt of this kind. The gang tried to pull off similar crimes before with four of the six previous victims being Jewish. Similar stories are only now surfacing.

French daily newspaper Le Parisien reported that the gang's last victim was a fifty-year-old Jewish man, who had driven home a girl who attempted to seduce his twenty-year-old son.

As I noted back in 2006, Ilan Halimi looks like he could be an Arab. That's because his family of Sephardic Jews left Arab countries, so that they could live in peace and without harassment and persecution from Muslims. But they could not escape Islamic anti-Semitism and barbarism. The problem long ago exported itself from greater Islamic barbaria to France, where it has long been at home.

This is France, but it could easily happen here in the United States. If you think otherwise, you're a fool. If you watch the second video, below, the Jewish leader in the community is still burying his head in the sand, as do the American Jewish community establishment's self-appointed liberal leaders. He talks about how the Jews and Muslims all get along and still get along. That's a big lie. There is a reason for the mass Jewish emigration from France to Israel: violent Muslim attacks on France's Jews.

Also, note that French television (Muslim Arab reporter Karim Hakiki--he's not biased, right?) keeps saying the neighbors were unaware or didn't hear. A complete and obvious lie. They heard, but they did nothing, because the inhumane Islamic culture accepts wanton torture and murder, especially of non-Muslims, particularly Jews. Watch how this Arab Muslim a-hole "reporter," Hakiki excuses this gang and claims they were not anti-Semitic. Uh-huh. Liar. That French television holds a debate whether or not this was anti-Semitism, tells you everything you need to know about France. It's lost forever. More like Al-France de Mohammed.

The Nazis never left France. They just have a different religion. And an invasion at Omaha Beach of Normandy won't stop them this time. It's too late.
