A French soldier patrolling a business neighborhood west of Paris was stabbed in the neck on Saturday by a man who quickly fled the scene and is being sought by police, President Francois Hollande said.
The soldier was patrolling in uniform with two other men as part of France's Vigipirate anti-terrorist surveillance plan when he was approached from behind around 1800 p.m. and stabbed in the neck with a knife or a box-cutter.

Peyvel said the man was able to flee into a crowded shopping area in the La Defense business neighborhood before the two other soldiers, who were walking in front of him, were able to react.
French daily Le Parisien cited a police source as saying the suspected attacker was a bearded man of North African origin about 30 years old, and was wearing an Arab-style garment under his jacket.
However, Peyvel declined to confirm or deny that description and said further details about the attacker's identity would be forthcoming.

Isolated incident. No connection to any terrorist network. I see no reason to be concerned here.

More info in post 40.
The shooter was a black Muslim convert. He got life in prison on a plea deal. As a black Muslim convert, he's practically untouchable.

Haven’t the western world’s so called leaders figured it out yet? It wasn’t the Christians that started the crusades, it was the friggin Islamics.
I for one will not be jihaded upon without a fight Any sand brother goes after me or mine will be ventilated as needed.

The Amish were RIGHT to forcibly shave off those beards of those who have been cast out of the faith.

Stockholm, Britian, France... doesn’t happen here, though. Could it be that 47 out of the 50 U.S. states allow CCW? A real toughy...

The Muslim problem in Europe is tailor made for the likes of Al Qaeda and their Arab patrons. As this culture war intensifies it's possible that radical Islamist groups in the Middle East will attempt to arm, equip and train homegrown extremists clustered around Europe. It's probably happening now. The tinderbox could be ignited by a series armed attacks on civilians and the bombing of historical monuments and sites like the Louvre or the Tower of London. The battleground would be the cities with NATO troops facing weeks or months of destructive urban warfare.
If this is the fate of Europe better for it to happen now. Time is on the side of the enemy. Osama Bin Laden predicted that Al Qaeda and its followers would turn the West into a police state. Bin Laden’s allies are modern liberals and the corrupt mass media they dominate.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of cells, already here, hiding in plain sight. The mosques are the Command & Control Centers.

Bears repeating; I plan to do just that.

I anticipate this will be happening right here in America before long. It has already happened here, but you are right, I expect more of it. So far, it looks like only conservatives are aware of the threat. Don't jump to conclusions they say. Hogwash, we know all about Muzzie tactics.

Don’t forget the Beltway Snipers, Ark Recruiting Station shooter, numerous ‘honor killings’ etc.
There are literally millions of “soft targets” in the US. Just wait until the murderous muzzie terror cells get their “go orders” from Iran. Beslan will become “the new normal”.

Just another lone wolf. Had nothing to do with any religion. LE has no clue why it happened. Nothing to see. Move along.
