Shortened title.

A man armed with a machete was shot five times in the stomach after attempting to storm the museum Police source said the attacker was shouting 'Allahu Akbar' before being gunned down Streets around the Louvre have been evacuated and France's interior ministry branded the incident 'serious' French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has described the attack as 'terrorist in nature'  A second person has been arrested, but it is not known if they were linked to the attack The identity and nationality of the attacker are not yet known, the interior ministry has said

The way I read it they may not be entirely sure whi the heck the perp is.

I wonder if the French would take the threat more seriously if terrorists blew up the Louvre?

Islamic terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center towers. How much of an effect did that have on liberals in this country?

[trisham]

Good point.

[dangerdoc]

So why are all those French police officers running around with their armor flapping?

Is that a new thing like wearing your baseball cap backwards?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Unexpected.

[Cubs Fan]

Egypt and a few other countries should be on that list.

Remember the two Tunisian truckdrivers in berlin and France?

I do not fault Trumpo in any way. He is 1000 times better than obama and hillary.

But if you are going to kick the lib/media hornet nest you might was well kick it all the way.

Good point. I think some on the left would be more heartbroken by the loss of masterpieces than the loss of human life. They seemed to be twisted that way...

Frenchies! dump Hollande, and elect Le Pen!

Today's event at the Louvre stirred up memories of dire prescient warnings from over a decade ago...

  ". . . look only at what has happened since the new century began, since 2000. And here is a tentative list off the top of my head:

• Bamiyan Buddhas, 1,500 years old, in Afghanistan, destroyed by Taliban with explosives, and technical help from Saudi and Pakistani engineers.
• Tomb of Joseph in Israel, the grave marker reduced to rubble by the “Palestinians,” despite that site supposedly being sacred to Muslims as well as to Jews.
• A Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, where Hindus and Chinese both labor under the disguised Jizyah of the Bumiputra system.
• Orthodox churches and monasteries, destroyed in Kosovo and Bosnia, in full view of NATO troops, the U.N., and the world’s media.
• And then, of course, the thousands of churches destroyed in Indonesia, as recorded by the Barnabas Fund.
• The remaining Greco-Bactrian artifacts among the tiny holdings in the Kabul Museum.
• The damage done to the Temple Mount structure by the excavations and vandalism to Solomon’s Stables from the “Palestinians.”
• Statuary vandalized by Muslims — both Christian statuary in a church in northern France, and pagan statuary in the Piazza del Popolo.
• The medieval Armenian cemetery of Jugha in Azerbaijan — obliterated by Azeri authorities.

  Oh, these are just things that come off the top of one’s head.

I do appreciate the word, “was” in the title.

[carolinablonde]

The article says he was shot outside the Louvre. But the picture of someone laying on the floor is inside the museum. Did they drag him in?

[Company Man]

An underground shopping mall connects to the Louvre. He was shot at the intersection, which is known as ‘the carousel’.

“He was dying to see the Mona Lisa.”

Well it was reported that he had paint bombs in his back pack so maybe he was....

Wow. Well, the Mona Lisa is behind glass. Wouldn’t have worked out.

"The perp was from Egypt"

Farouk him!

Aswan freeper to another I say they should interrogate him and if he remains mummy, sock him in the cheops, kick him in the asp, then tie a concrete block around his ankhle and throw him in the Nile.

No ifs or tuts about it!
