NICE, France (AP) — A young Tunisian man armed with a knife and carrying a copy of the Quran attacked worshippers in a French church and killed three Thursday...

The attack in Mediterranean city of Nice was the third in less than two months that French authorities have attributed to Muslim extremists, ...

Thursday’s attacker was seriously wounded by police and hospitalized in life-threatening condition after the killings at the Notre Dame Basilica...

President Emmanuel Macron said he would immediately increase the number of soldiers deployed to protect schools and religious sites from around 3,000 to 7,000.

France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor said the suspect is a Tunisian born in 1999 who reached the Italian island of Lampedusa, a key landing point for migrants crossing in boats from North Africa, on Sept. 20 and traveled to Bari, a port city in southern Italy, on Oct. 9....

...

The French prosecutor said the attacker was not on the radar of intelligence agencies as a potential threat.

Video cameras recorded the man entering the Nice train station at 6:47 a.m., where he changed his shoes and turned his coat inside out before heading for the church, some 400 meters (yards) away, just before 8:30 a.m.

Ricard said the attacker was carrying a copy of Islam’s holy book and two telephones. A knife with a 17-centimeter blade used in the attack was found near him along with a bag containing another two knives that were not used in the attack.

...

Witnesses heard the man crying ”Allahu Akbar” as he advanced on police...

A 60-year-old woman suffered “a very deep throat slitting, like a decapitation,” a 55-year-old man also suffered deep, fatal throat cuts... a 44-year-old woman, managed to flee the church alive but died at a nearby restaurant.

I worked with a Tunisian guy that I immediately found odd, turned out Mahdi was all into the knife antifada.

This dickhead thought everyone was against him and it was my job to review his work, he took everything as personal criticism.

Was this the result of Pope Francis refusing to comment and condemn the theology that was used to permit such action ?

Macron, always one beheading (or maybe two) behind events and decent security for Jews and Christians in France.

French Moslem extremists are the “New Vichy” forces of Islamic fascism in that country.

Must have reached around 5% Muslim. They go all Jihad on ya. Once they start you have to hammer a few mosques to demonstrate that the attacks caused damage to Islam or they will not stop. If you try and negotiate, you are toast.

Its all land out in the Qu’ran.

Its why Bush hammered them after 911, Jihad was world wide but they left us alone.

The Muslim war on Europe is on. Europeans choose not to fight. There will be no Charles Martels this time in Western Europe.
