3 people murdered by jihadist at church in southern French city of Nice
A violent attack took place in the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption basilica, right in the center of the city of Nice in the South of France on Thursday around 9 AM, when, according to Reuters, a knife-wielding attacker was shouting “Allahu Akbar” as he beheaded a woman and killed two other people.As always, it's truly repulsive and terrible this had to happen. The city's mayor boldly called the attack what it is:
Several media outlets have also reported a decapitated woman and two other deceased victims, as well as several injuries, including one who is in serious condition.
Le Monde reported that “the national and municipal police intervened and the perpetrator was arrested.”
The mayor of Nice did not mince his words when he spoke to the television cameras Thursday morning, reports local newspaper Nice Matin, revealing that the attacker “would not stop repeating ‘Allahu akbar’ while he was injured”.Indeed, even the PLO's been turning against them now, and Turkey's incitement definitely speaks volumes as well. This is exactly why France and other European countries made a terrible mistake in courting favor from such countries, since they were bound to turn against them full force later on.
Declaring that “enough is enough”, mayor Christian Estrosi said Nice was “paying too heavy a price by once again being victims of Islamo-fascism”.
By once again, the city mayor was almost certainly referring to the 2016 Nice attack, in which an Islamist terrorist drove a high-powered delivery truck through crowds of revellers celebrating France’s national day, killing 86 people along the beachfront.
Today’s attack also comes in the context of intensified Islamist activity in France in recent weeks. Less than two weeks ago, a French history teacher was beheaded in front of his own school after he showed cartoons of Mohammed to his class to illustrate a talk on freedom of expression. The French government reacted to the killing with unusual determination, closing a local mosque that had agitated against the victim before he was killed, and arresting dozens who celebrated the attack.
These actions have not gone down well with some in the Muslim world, however, with France’s response to Islamist murders and terror attacks starting a war of words between the nation and Muslim majority countries Turkey and Pakistan, as well as Palestinian leaders.
