Macron says France ‘has been attacked’ after three killed at a church in Nice

French policemen stand guard at the site of a knife attack at the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Nice in Nice, France, on Oct. 29, 2020.Three people were killed in a knife attack in and around a Roman Catholic church in the southern French city of Nice on Thursday, becoming the latest victims in what President Emmanuel Macron cast as a struggle between Islamic extremism and the secular ideals of the French state.

Officials have described the beheading of a woman and the killing of two other people at a church in the French city of Nice on Thursday as a suspected terrorist attack.In another incident on Thursday, a Saudi citizen was arrested after a security guard was stabbed outside the French consulate in the city of Jeddah.

The killings came less than two weeks after middle-school teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded outside his school near Paris after showing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to his civics class.Eric Gaillard/The Associated Press Mr. Erdogan said Mr. Macron needed “mental checks” and called for a boycott of French goods. Amid a growing rivalry between Paris and Ankara – who have taken opposite sides in both the civil war in Libya and the fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan – French officials warned before the Nice attacks that Mr. Erdogan’s rhetoric risked inciting violence.

Some leaders used more confrontational language. Shortly after the killings in Nice, former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohammed posted on his own Twitter account that Mr. Macron’s remarks in the wake of the killing of Mr. Paty were “very primitive.” While he said he rejected violence, Mr. Mahathir said “the Muslims have a right to punish the French. The boycott cannot compensate the wrongs committed by the French all these years.

Thursday’s attacks came hours before the country was to start a new lockdown intended to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Counterterrorism expert Yan St-Pierre said that with fewer people expected to be on the streets after the lockdown begins “there’s a possibility the attackers in France may have felt compelled to act today.”

acoyne Is CBCNews still avoiding the use of the term 'Islamic Terrorists per Trudeau's instructions? The media has failed us all. We cannot trust it to report or comment fairly and without bias. Therefore we have found alternatives. They lose, online sites & Social Media wins!

Macron should just concede to the religious radicals he’s imported, obey their demand and import more.

A miracle of Merkel
