French soldier attacked by knifing Muslim near Paris train station
A man armed with a knife attacked a French anti-terror soldier outside of a Paris metro station, with reports that the assailant made ‘references to Allah and Islamic State’.But his ideology most definitely should be, and any continuing failure to admit to that only makes the situation worse.

The attack occurred at 6:30 am local time Friday morning at the Chatelet metro station, and the man was arrested without causing injury to the soldier. No one else was attacked or injured.
According to a police source, the assailant “made references to Allah”. The attacker is believed to not be known to police.
