Toulouse Shooter Affiliated with French Al-Qaeda Group Fursan Al-'Izza

(MEMRI) Mohammed Merah, the terrorist who opened fire on a Jewish school in Toulouse, France, on March 19, appears to be a member of the French al-Qaeda branch Fursan Al-'Izza. The group is ideologically aligned with the worldwide shari'a movement calling to Islamize Western states and societies by "implementing shari'a law," "exalting the word of Allah," "abolishing democratic states," and "replacing them with Islamic regimes." A recent Fursan Al-'Izza video calls on "all Arab countries to boycott France and its products" until it repeals its laws banning the niqab and hijab headcovering. The video opens with the slogan "Restore the Caliphate," and ends with the slogan "Disavow the idol of democracy."
