A man attacked people by the tour Eiffel with a hammer.

"Mr Darmanin said the alleged attacker was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar", Arabic for "God is greatest", and told police he was upset because "so many Muslims are dying in Afghanistan and in Palestine".
The suspect is also understood to have suggested France was complicit in the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza."

I've been accused of Islamophobia.

The funny thing is, I absolutely love Islamic culture - mathematics, sacred geometry, music, etc.

However. We can't pretend that this wonderful philosophy, when corrupted by religious nutcases (just as Christianity has been over the centuries), does not result in absolute mayhem.

To me, this is a coming of age. Can people just stop screaming "Islamophobe!!!" and start screaming, "7 October not in my name!?!

I saw a tweet about this last night but not a sign of it on any main steam media, not even this morning. It was so disquieting and I did wonder, if this is it now. These attacks won’t be reported anymore and we just won’t know about them. Relieved to see it reported.

Agree @PurpleChrayne

We can expect more of this in future. Hamas and their cronies have made it clear that the west is next.
