The French are finding out the hard way that a country can host tourists or Islamists, but NOT both.

I can’t think of anything more frightening (outside of death) or horrifying for a woman than an acid attack. I hope the women are ok.

They were depopulating and dying out anyways. Similar to the fall of the Romans Empire.

Your pretty much insane to go anywhere in Western Europe or Scandinavia anymore. Sure. you'd probably go and be OK but if you aren't, you really, really aren't. Just not worth the risk.

My daughter is doing study abroad. I told her Austria, Poland , Hungary or somewhere in Asia. Those are the choices.

If France and the UK don’t want to call it terrorism, let’s call it what it is.......a typical act by the members of the religion of peace.

Attributing terrorist acts to mental illness is the act of a cowardly government.......identify why/where/how and if you dare, destroy the source.

Um....if this attack was not terrorism, it means that French women are attacking American tourists with acid.

‘Um....if this attack was not terrorism, it means that French women are attacking American tourists with acid.’

Even more reason to avoid France.

Acid attacks common in Bang/Pack etc. Would have more expected this in UK, and by a man.

And India too.Don't know if there's any religious breakdown.Obviously Pak/Bangledesh are 99% moslem but India isn't.

I know this is headlining Drudge in red but otherwise, the stories are sparse on this.


I have not looked at Drudge since he spiked the Imran Awan story.

The London attacks must have been done by 450 psychotic female parishioners from the Church of England.

Keep in mind the literal translation of Allahu Akbar: “This has nothing to do with Islam.”

Some reports said that the attacker had been previously the recipient of an acid attack.

I wonder if that was some sort of family honor attack?

There are still many areas in Europe safe to travel. My son is hiking in Scotland this week, my other son was in Italy early summer although I was apprehensive when next he went to Barcelona and Ibiza. Thank God he never encountered any trouble.

So don’t go walking around town with your face uncovered and you’ll be ok?

I was in Barcelona a few months ago, and the whole time I was walking along Las Ramblas, I was thinking that someday something bad was going to happen there, little did I know how soon that would be.
