France is mobilising 7,000 soldiers and increasing its alert status to “emergency attack” level after the death of a teacher in the northeast town of Arras, stabbed to death Friday by a former student with a record of Islamic radicalisation.
President Emmanuel Macron made the decision after convening an emergency meeting of his security cabinet on Friday night.
Macron has described the stabbing attack, which left two other staff members at the school seriously injured, as “Islamist terrorism.”
This is the decade we kill each other before we kill the planet, isn’t it?
I really hope so. Sounds more interesting than being a boiling frog pot.
To nuke, or not to nuke, that is the question.
Before? I’d say humanity and the planet are shoulder to shoulder. If it were before, the planet might have had a chance
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Saturday’s mobilisation announcement came after President Macron held an emergency security cabinet meeting on Friday evening.
The incident took place at the Gambetta high school, which is located in the town centre, and police say the attacker shouted “Allah Akbar” - “God is great” in Arabic.
He has been named as 18-year-old Mohammed Mogouchkov, a former student at the school of Chechen origin who was the subject of “active monitoring” by France’s General Directorate of Internal Security DGSI.
France’s President Emmanuel Macron visited the school on Friday afternoon, and called on people to remain “united” and to “stand together” in the face of “the barbarity of Islamist terrorism.”
Speaking in the courtyard of a building near the school where Friday morning’s deadly attack took place, Macron said “the choice is made not to give in to terror, not to let anything divide us.”
A 24-year-old man known to have been “radicalised” was arrested and placed in police custody for carrying a knife as he left a mosque in Limay on the outskirts of Paris.
The original article contains 423 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 59%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Mobilizing 7000 soldiers over one stabbing is a heck of an overreaction, no? France showing their latent Islamophobia again.

If terrorists decided to use “America” as branding, then saying “home of the brave my ass” would be as equally invalid a statement.
It’s not a random coincidence. Islam, like Christianity, has plenty of calls to violence in scripture and culture.
For example, see article 7 of the Hamas founding charter:
“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).
Other terror organizations like Boko Haram and Al Quaeda similarly quote other parts from the Quran. Because they can, because it’s there.
So for your analogy to work, we would have to assume “America” has some inherently violent parts at it’s core. Which it probably does.
In a true “Religion of Peace”, extremists would have to invent things, not bend things, to justify violence.
Obligatory disclaimer, the overwhelming majority of Muslims (and Christians) are peaceful, decent people.
But they don’t, so you argument is invalid.
… that doesn’t invalidate my point at all - their choice of religious affiliation does not define the religion. Just as in my example, the theoretical “Terrorists of America” don’t get to define what American values are, just because of their name. A counter group could take a similar “America” themed name with completely opposite values and objectives and it wouldn’t mean jack shit.
Ohhhh, we’re discussing hypotheticals, sorry I thought you were serious.
Because then for sure you would have taken in consideration that religious affiliation, nationality and branding are pretty different things. The level of psychological involvement and the way these elements interact and define ones individual structure is quite incomparable. Usually for religious people (especially fundamenlists) religion does define their personal values, morality an so on. This IS the purpose of religion after all.
And then of course you would have taken in consideration that this is a conflict with mainly a religious conflict. Although you can say palestinians fight mainly for their land the other Muslim countries that support them have also religious motives.
And of course it’s a fact that they didn’t choose to take another religious affiliation or as you say a different brand.
I don’t wish to be cruel or unpleasant and i appreciate the reply, but this really doesnt grasp what i outlined before
Ok, then maybe I’m at fault and I didn’t understand what you were trying to say.
Reasonable. Im sure my assertion wasnt 100% watertight
No they are just animals, the religion part is just an excuse these pathetic animals use to justify their barbaric actions.
Which country has the most school shootings?
Classic whataboutism.
The answer is america, and 2 things can be bad at once.
What sort of reply is that to what he said?
When someone calls the USA out on their school shootings, do you then bring up Ukraine with many more dead?
What sort of reply is that to what he said?
An honest one. There’s violence everywhere. At least Palestinians and Israelis are fighting each other over land. In America you get shot over a cheeseburger or because someone else can’t get laid.
When someone calls the USA out on their school shootings, do you then bring up Ukraine with many more dead?
No, I say “yeah it’s unacceptable.”
He vents his frustration about religions. While yes, violence is everywhere, it makes a ton of difference if there are < 1 homicides per 100’000 or, for example, 7. Or regarding religions: some outright want you to be violent.
