Brave Muslims stopped far more deaths in the Paris terror attacks – now it’s up to the rest of Islam to show the same guts and root out ISIS

Amid all the chaos and misery in the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks, some very important facts appear to have slipped most people’s attention. The incident at the football stadium, Stade de France, for example, should have been a hundred, perhaps a thousand times worse.

ISIS’s atrocious plan was for one suicide bomber to go inside with a ticket to the game and blow himself up among the 80,000 spectators – including French President Francois Hollande – while another two waited outside to do the same as the terrified crowd fled into the streets.

It was only foiled because security guards frisked him at the entrance and spotted he was wearing a suicide vest.

The bomber backed away and detonated himself.

This prompted his two fellow terrorists to activate their own suicide vests.

Crucially, none of them was inside the stadium.

Thus only one person other than the bombers was killed.

For this, we have the vigilant security guards to thank.

And what needs to be made very loudly and clearly public is this: that team of security guards who saved many more lives included Muslims.

We know this because one of them, a Muslim known only by his first name Zouheir, revealed the amazing story to the Wall Street Journal.

He himself was stationed just inside the stadium, by the players’ tunnel and near President Hollande and helped protect people when the bombs started going off.

‘Once I saw Hollande being evacuated, I knew it wasn’t firecrackers,’ he said.

Those security guards’ outstanding alertness and courage stopped what could have been a massacre of 9/11 proportions or worse.

And they did so at great personal risk to themselves because ISIS don’t give a damn who they kill; Muslim, Christian, Jew, Sikh, black, white, gay, straight, male, female, young, old.

In fact, it’s believed a number of the dead and wounded in Paris were also Muslim.

Stade de France wasn’t the only scene of heroism that night from people of Islam.

Another Muslim, a worker named Safer at the Cosa Nostra restaurant, saved the lives of two injured women during Friday’s attacks by risking his own to run out into the mayhem and bring them inside.

His valour echoed that of a Muslim named Lassana Bathily who saved numerous customers’ lives at a kosher grocery store during the January attacks in Paris by hiding them in a walk-in freezer.

Compare and contrast these heroic Muslims with that of millions of other Muslims after these latest outrages by terrorists purporting to be acting under specific murderous instruction from THEIR religion, and THEIR prophet.
