There is a whole chapter of the Qur’an entitled “Booty,” or “The Spoils of War”: sura 8. It details how Muslims can collect such booty in battle and how they must pay a fifth to the Islamic authorities (see 8:41).
“Robbery and terrorism project: three Stéphanois radicalized in court,” translated from “Projet de braquage et terrorisme: trois Stéphanois radicalisés devant la justice,” by Hélène Jaffiol, Le Progrès, January 22, 2021 (thanks to Mason):
A threat of an attack, radicalized profiles, and Act I of the yellow vests as a backdrop … The affair caused a stir right up to the top of the state. The Minister of the Interior, in person, Christophe Castaner, congratulated himself, in front of the cameras, for having avoided a bloodbath on the first day of the yellow vest protests, on November 17, 2018.
Two scheming brothers and a converted former soldier
Arrested a few days earlier, the plans of the four individuals, three of whom live in Saint-Etienne, were investigated, but the terrorist case gradually weakened. It is finally for a robbery project, against a backdrop of jihadist booty, that they will appear before the Paris Criminal Court, this Friday, January 22.
Who are the protagonists of Saint-Etienne? Two radicalized brothers, Kamel and Hilial A, and Rémi M. a 50-year-old converted father of four children. Ms. Léa Dordilly, lawyer for the youngest of the siblings, Hilial, 24, paints his portrait: “He broke up with the rest of his well-integrated family. He lets himself slip and lives between petty crimes, shenanigans and swindling. ”
Under the influence of his older brother, who has just been released from prison, the young man slips into radical Islam in a matter of months. While wiretapped, they speak of “the Islamic State”, rage against “disbelievers” and speak of “taking action”.
“It is not enough to have a radicalized profile to link everything to terrorism”
In their wake appears Rémi M., 54, a former soldier, whom he met on leaving the mosque: “He had a complicated life, experienced a phase of alcoholism. He converted about fifteen years ago and practices a rigorous Islam”, emphasizes his lawyer, Mr. Michaël Bendavid. It was he who sent the text “It will bleed on 17 [November]” which accelerated the anti-terrorist operation in Saint-Etienne (see box).
But instead of an attack, it was a project to rob a van or an ATM that they seemed to be preparing on the sidelines of the yellow vest protests. A plan that was still “in its infancy”, according to Ms. Dordilly, who also referred to an attempted purchase … in a toy store in Lyon: “It was for a dummy weapon. The seller got suspicious, so my client gave up. ”
But for the lawyer, like her colleagues in the defense, it is the notion of jihadist booty, “the ghanima”, attributed to this robbery project which raises questions in this file: “We could not hold against them the preparation of an attack then we say that the robbery was intended to finance a hypothetical future action. But just having a radicalized profile is not enough to link everything to terrorism.”
Michael Copeland says
Learning Curve needed. Yes, French authorities, robbery is hostile jizya-taking: booty is Islamic. Notice they were not planning to rob the mosque, just the filthy kuffar..
somehistory says
This is a very confusing account. There were “three” or “four”?
“Two scheming brothers and a converted former soldier”
“the plans of the four individuals,”
It isn’t enough to link them to “terrorism”? They spoke of the isis, they planned to rob others to ‘finance, fund’ a future attack and that is “not enough”?
In the U.S, they would at least be charged with a conspiracy as they attempted to buy a ‘weapon’ and were caught. Certainly they had jihad as their goal.
I watched an old Gunsmoke, I believe it was, as I recall James Arness and two little kids river rafting, trying to outwit a bunch of robbers. Notably, the main robber, Slim Pickins, I think it was, said something like, “They’re getting away with ***our*** money.”
This is the way all moslims think when it comes to money. It all belongs to them.
mortimer says
THEFT of the property of the DIRTY KUFAAR is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. They just shouldn’t do it to a Muslim.
“Islam stipulates certain conditions for taking the wealth of the disbelievers. According to our classical scholars, it becomes permissible to take the disbelievers wealth for jihad-related purposes even if one is without an army or (a Caliph) … The GREATEST FORM OF INCOME IS THAT OF THE SPOILS OF WAR and the greatest profession is being a soldier in the path of Allah. The income generated from BOOTY TAKEN BY FORCE FROM THE ENEMIES OF ALLAH IS PURER and MORE VIRTUOUS than income generated from being a businessman, an engineer, a physician, or a farmer, simply because that was the source of income that Allah destined for his Messenger Muhammad (SAW). Working as a mujahid (jihadist) is sunnah (the sacred example of Mohammed).”

Spot on, Mortimer.
Infidel says
Sounds like a better reason than most others to convert to islam ?
SKA says
“Booty” has at least two meanings. One is equivalent to “ghanimah” or spoils of war. The other more colloquial meaning is sexual favors of a woman or sex slave. Since mujahideen can have sex with “those whom their right hand possesses” this is also a motive for engaging in jihad. Sex and wealth! What a high morality!
Michael Copeland says
Indeed. “And take their wives as war booty!” shouted an obedient protester outside the Danish Embassy in the contrived “Day of Rage” (four months after the event) against the Jyllands Posten publication of cartoons of Mohammed.

Both goods and humans–as slaves and sex slaves–are war booty for Muslims.

………………
This is how pious Muslims think. There is a Sura of the Qur’an titled Al-Anfal, or “war booty”.

It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu’minin, Abu Hafs ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (ra) who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: ” إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ”.
رَوَاهُ إِمَامَا الْمُحَدِّثِينَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بن إِبْرَاهِيم بن الْمُغِيرَة بن بَرْدِزبَه الْبُخَارِيُّ الْجُعْفِيُّ [رقم:1]، وَأَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُسْلِمٌ بنُ الْحَجَّاج بن مُسْلِم الْقُشَيْرِيُّ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ [رقم:1907] رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي “صَحِيحَيْهِمَا” اللذَينِ هُمَا أَصَحُّ الْكُتُبِ الْمُصَنَّفَةِ.

Not sure what this has to do with your post above, but thanks for the Hadith.
And this convert to Islam didn’t immigrate to France–he was already there.
But it is certainly true that most Muslims consider their immigrating to the West to be a Hijra.

Notice the part where mamad says action are judged based by motives or intention rather than the act(innama al-a3malu biniyati)
I know the hadith itself is about hijrah(immigration) but mamad words is to be applied everywhere, remember that pisslam is “answer to everything” and “complete religion”
It doesn’t matter what this monster do, so long as his intention is to restore khilafah/amr bil ma3ruf nahi an-munkar, it’s great according to pisslam pov

Well, that’s true.

”He broke up with the rest of his well-integrated family.”
”Under the influence of his older brother, who has just been released from prison, the young man slips into radical Islam in a matter of months.”
Just what sort of integration are we talking about here. It must be muslim integration not Western society integration.

What a pity the guillotines are in our time out of use and stand in museums? There is a great need for them now. A Dutch adage fits completely to this case: Opgeruimd staat netjes. That means (rough translation): a clean house is a neat house.
OLD GUY says
Join Islam and automatically become a CRIMINAL, islam promotes this idea of attacking non-muslims for their property, sex slavery and murder. Sounds more like a street gang than a religion.
Let’s all thank Pres. Joe Biden and his Administration for giving the American citizens the chance to experience the evil of muslims/islamic migrants first hand. There will be American citizens BLOOD on Biden’s hands for this open border policy. But he and the elite left don’t care, it won’t effect them in their gated communities protected by armed security.
