Take up the cross avenge the murder against the infidels

Could be turkey or Paki. Most probably 🦃

Time to deport those that commit crimes back to their countries , close your borders and send the families of the guilty back also. Any nation plagued from people of foreign nations that haven given asylum in any country committing crimes must be expelled from the countries

The world is going to hell, much thanks to Donald 'the Madman' Trump!

Innocent man is on a run for the crime of wild gun. Where are we heading with all this brutally on the innocent?

Blessings to him. Amen 🙏🏼

When they start killing the religious; there are some serious problems;

Just peacefull things....😊😊

How much more blood must be shed before we can say that islam is the greatest threat to European civilisation? Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on this priest.

a suspect diversity everywhere take your pick

Is this a way to convert people? I'm confused

What is going on in France!?

Not again 😢😢🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

More peaceful religion response I’m sure

☹️ praying for peace... 🙏

May God be with him. 🙏🙏🙏

Weird , I’d bet it’s a white racist huh?

Three guesses.

What a good God says to his believers, kill your fellow man, who does not believe in the same religion as you! This is God; Or something else?

How come only the Jihadis have guns?

Suspect last seen dressed up as Hitler

Anyone who does not like the Western way of life and European values ​​should return to their place of origin. Europe has fed you enough, it is unacceptable that you have been given so many and so many opportunities to curse the West. Enough.

😢

I think police did this to blame Muslims. In Islam killing one human is like killing all humanity Islam is a religion of peace and humanity

whose the most brutallity killing in all of the world, still remembered shooted by Bretton Tarrant (he's still alive).. is his religion must be mistaken

USCIRF have any shame left when they support islamists?

This is disgusting. Freedom to practice is a right. This Jew stands with France.

Looks like France has shown that social integration is not possible given the cultural differences. Maybe change strategy

Religion of peace strikes again

Religion of peace

Send them back!

'War against Islamist ideology' means more attacks in France - interior ministerMore attacks on French soil are likely as France is engaged in a 'war against Islamist ideology', its interior minister said on Friday. Hi Mr. Sun, we are ordinary people who have been deceived and lost a lot of money by trusting the Theron Foundation and investing in the Shark Defay project. We ask you for help, please help. Please😔🙏 Don’t surrender And placating to the ideology under a threat of those attacks means your people will suffer.
