The father of Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, the Nice Bastille Day killer, said of his son, “He didn’t pray, he didn’t fast, he drank alcohol and even used drugs.” Piecing together the information given by his father, his neighbors and the officialsinvestigating him, it seems that Lahouaiej Bouhlel was not a devout Muslim. He had a criminal record, drank alcohol, ate pork, did drugs, did not fast, pray or regularly attend a mosque and was not religious in any way. He was cruel to his wife, who left him. This is not what many Muslims would typically consider reflective of their faith, particularly those who consider themselves religiously devout.
Yet the official French position, including that of the president and prime minister, on Lahouaiej Bouhlel’s motive was exactly the same as for every act of violence recently perpetrated by Muslims: it was an act of “radical Islam.” As a result, there were more threats of resolute military action against the culprits, more security measures, more surveillance and more public demonization of Muslims. “Security,” “terrorism” and “counter-terrorism” experts, thriving in the hot market of ideas on how to tackle “Islamic radicalism,” poured out from every nook and cranny, their bread and butter secure in the continuous Muslim mayhem, to write and talk of Quranic verses that encourage violence, of the mental make-up of the so-called “jihadis” and “Islamic radicals.”
The self-proclaimed Islamic State, as it often does, issued a statement claiming it was behind the Nice carnage, although the claim was belated and the group seemed caught off guard. The youthful French prime minister, who appears to do little fresh thinking on such matters judging by his unchanging analysis, said that although he could not confirm the attacker’s motives, Lahouaiej Bouhlel “is a terrorist probably linked to radical Islam one way or another.” This statement constructed a case that is simply not based on the facts: Lahouaiej Bouhlel was a disturbed, petty criminal and not remotely “Islamic.” Those “experts” who place the burden of being a poster child of Islam on the shoulders of an alcohol-drinking, pig-eating, wife-beating criminal who did drugs, neither fasted nor prayed, and did not go to the mosque, know little of Islam and almost make us wish Inspector Clouseau was on the case.

How do you integrate an alcohol drinking, pork eating, drug using ‘Muslim’? The guy is an angry misfit that has little to do with any Muslim. Quite a challenge, but more a social one.,,

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
I seek the refuge in God, from Satan the rejected.
I feel responsible as a Muslim and as a human being to speak out and tell the truth to prevent the world and Muslims as well from a coming catastrophe, destruction and misery, and war of civilizations. We, Muslim always claim that Islam is peaceful religion and bring mercy to all mankind. But on the contrary we see violence everywhere in Muslim Countries. Since then millions innocent people have already been suffered, displaced and killed. Nauzubillah. It is very sad, pity, heartbreaking and embarrassing too as a Muslim.
We have to admit that our current Islamic teaching, old interpretation of Islam by Extremist Clerics creates violence, oppression, discrimination, injustice, killing innocent people, children,women, blasphemy, gay-lesbian, apostate, create poverty and hatred toward Christian, Jewish, and Muslims as well
We Muslims are the ones who need to change. It is a Muslim problem that needs a Muslim solution .
The root of violence is not come from outside of Islamic teacing, but it come from the book of Hadith as second resource of Islamic teaching. Most Islamic scholars believe in the book of Hadith of Imam Muslim_Bukhari without doubt at all. What ever imam Muslim and Bukhari say, it is true from Prophet Muhammad(saw). Whereas Prophet never oversee this book and Allah never guarantee the purity of Hadith of Muslim-Bukhari. Allah and Prophet also warn His people;
Do not believe in Islamic scholars blindly, he can deceive you and bring on you disaster and misery of life in this world.
They have taken their imam, or scholars and their rabbis as gods beside Allah, Quran.9;31
O humankind,) follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow any masters other than Him. 3 Little you heed to advice! (3) How many a town We have destroyed! Our punishment came upon them at night or when they were having a nap at midday. (4) So, when Our punishment came upon them, they could say nothing but cry, “We were wrongdoers indeed.” Quran.7:3-4.
For example; Imam Muslim and Bukhari ordered Muslim to punish or to kill those who;
Gay-Lesbian
Blasphemer and apostates
Those who does not pledge to Caliphte ISIS
Those who kill those people above with suicide will go to paradise.
It is very clear that the root of violence and suicide is from the book of Hadith as second source of Islamic teaching.
My suggestion to all Islamic scholars around the world, this is Muslim Problem, we have to fix this problem without shame and to admit that and then we have to remove these diseas from the book of Hadith. Otherwise extremist Muslim will still use these hadith to justify their act of violence and kill innocent people, children and women.
May Allah will protect you and me from satan and will show you and me the right way ,or the straight path of new interpretation of Islam in 21st century. Amin
