An Irish lecturer was stabbed to death by a student from Pakistan outside a Paris university. The murderous Muslim claimed the man had insulted Muhammad, so he bought a steak knife and brutally stabbed him in broad daylight.
John Dowling, 66, was speaking with 37-year-old “Ali R.” following a lecture when the Muslim took out a knife and savagely killed him.
The suspect is set to be indicted for murder on Friday. According to sources, he told authorities he killed Dowling to defend his faith against a perceived slight and had a personal grudge against the victim.
Government prosecutor Catherine Denis said that Ali 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 anymore.”
“He produced a drawing, which he showed off in class, insulting the prophet Mohammed,” Ali told authorities, according to Denis.
However, no other students recall Dowling doing any such thing.
What has disgusted most people is that French authorities have said there is no evidence that the native of Pakistan was a terrorist. They say he was just a “pious” and an “obsessive patriot.”
“We don’t have proof of radicalization, but rather a feeling that we’re dealing with someone who is very religious, very pious, very practicing.”
