AP “explains” — Why does France incite anger in the Muslim world? Its brutal colonial past, staunch secular policies and tough-talking president who is seen as insensitive toward the Muslim faith all play a role.

BBC;

Three people have died in a knife attack at a church in Nice, in what French President Emmanuel Macron said was an “Islamist terrorist attack”.
 
He said France would not surrender its core values after visiting the Notre-Dame basilica in the southern city. More troops are being deployed to protect churches and schools.
 
In Nice, one elderly victim was “virtually beheaded”, officials said. Another woman and a man also died.
 
A male suspect was shot and detained.
 
Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi spoke of “Islamo-fascism” and said the suspect had “repeated endlessly ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is greatest)”.

More Akbar! Police initially deployed non-lethal munitions to stop the assailant but were forced to open fire with live rounds after he charged at the cops.

Now I am definitely old enough to remember when Mark Steyns “America Alone”
was lambasted and ridiculed for its fantastical and fanciful ideas about
population replacement and the death of western culture due to
“demographics”.
 
A while later the same treatment was accorded to Melanie Phillips book
“Londonistan”
 
They both would now appear to be prophets.

Bumped for Update: 10 Saudi military students at Pensacola Naval Air Station now detained after jihad massacre

Mark Steyn;

I can no longer remember when I first used the line, but, as I’ve said many times before, sometimes a society becomes too stupid to survive.
 
Back when President Trump was Candidate Trump, he famously proposed a soi-disant “Muslim ban” on entry to the United States “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on”.
 
Which was a rationale to which I was rather partial – because a failure to “figure out what the hell is going on” is a big part of why we’re where we are a generation after 9/11. Mohammed is now in the Top Ten boys’ names in America, which means it will sooner than you think be, as it is in Europe, among the Top Five boys’ names, and eventually the Number One.
 
Well, the “Muslim ban” never happened, after being struck down by judges and filleted into meaninglessness by the lawyers of the permanent bureaucracy. But you would think, given the mountain of corpses piled up on 9/11, that at the very minimum Saudi nationals would no longer be being given pilot training in Florida. After all, fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, and half of those who flew the planes received their lessons in the Sunshine State.

It’s the new reefer madness.

“Ms Halimi, who was Orthodox, was killed after Kobili Traoré broke into her council flat in eastern Paris on April 4 2017.

Witnesses said the 65-year-old was beaten and called a ‘demon’ by her attacker, who recited Koranic verses as he threw her off her balcony.”
