Yet again, innocent Frenchmen have paid the price for open borders.
Yet again, an Islamic fanatic has committed murder in a Catholic church.
Yet again, France will do nothing.
The latest three murder victims in the name of the Prophet were in Nice, and follow the beheading of a teacher two weeks ago, a stabbling in September, and the murder of a Catholic priest during Mass four years ago.
But French authorities aren’t solely to blame for permitting the murderer to enter the country. So are Italian authorities. The “refugee” landed on Lampedusa, an island southwest of Sicily, and from there went to France.
What Happened
The terror attack in the Mediterranean port is that city’s second. In 2016, an Islamic fanatic, working for ISIS, drove a truck into Bastille Day crowds at the Promenade des Anglais. He left 86 dead and 458 wounded.
This time, the murderer used a knife.
“Video cameras recorded the man entering the Nice train station at 6:47 a.m. [Thursday], where he changed his shoes and turned his coat inside out before heading for the church, some 400 meters (yards) away, just before 8:30 a.m.,” the Associated Press reported.
That man is Tunisian Brahim Aioussaoi, the BBC reported, citing French and Italian dispatches.
Once at the Basilica, he slashed the throat of sacristan Vincent Loquès, 55, who was opening the church. Aioussaoi’s 60-year-old victim, an as yet-unnamed woman, BBC reported, was found nearly decapitated by a holy water font.
Brazilian immigrant Simone Barreto Silva, a 44-year-old mother of three, escaped to a nearby restaurant, BBC reported. “Tell my children I love them,” she told paramedics.
The attacker was carrying a copy of Islam’s holy book and two telephones. A knife with a 17-centimeter blade used in the attack was found near him along with a bag containing another two knives that were not used in the attack.
He had spent some 30 minutes inside the church before police arrived via a side entrance and “after advancing down a corridor they came face-to-face with [the attacker[ whom they neutralized,” Ricard said.
French President Emmanuel Macron unbosomed the usual boilerplate to calm the frightened French as he surrenders his country to Islam.
“Very clearly, it is France which is under attack,” AP reported of Macron’s remarks. Once known as the Eldest Daughter of the Church, France will support Catholics, he vowed, “so that their religion can be exercised freely in our country. So that every religion can be practiced.”
One of those religions is Islam, of course. As the New York Times reported, Macron believes in an “Islam of enlightenment” and “an Islam that can be at peace with the republic.”
What sort of peace Islam will establish with France is open to question. For the three victims in Nice, it was the peace of the graveyard.
The authorities say Aioussaoi was born in Tunisia in 1999, and traveled to France after a stop in Lampedusa. He landed there on September 20, BBC reported. Tunisians flooded Lampedusa in 2011 and promptly began rioting and burning in 2011.
Italian authorities sat on their hands and watched as the invasion force besieged the Mediterranean isle off the northeast coast of Africa.
The “refugees” then began the insidious but relentless invasion of mainland Europe.
A Beheading And Priest Murdered
Thursday’s three murder victims are the only latest to die because French authorities refuse to close the country’s borders and crack down on “migrant” terror and revolutionary activity.
On October 16, Abdoullakh Abouyedovich Anzorov, a Chechin Muslim with no reason to be in France, beheaded teacher Samuel Paty because Paty showed his students the infamous cartoons of Mohammed that appeared in the weekly Charlie Hebdo magazine. Seven people face charges. Cops killed Anzorov.
Last month, a Pakistani Muslim stabbed two people outside the magazine’s former offices. The magazine moved to a secure site after two Muslims murdered 12 employees and wounded 11 more after the cartoons appeared. In September as the trial of the accomplices began, the magazine republished the cartoons, inviting a threat from al Qaida.
In 2016, two Muslims murdered Catholic priest Jaques Hamel at the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray in Normandy. They forced him to kneel at the foot of the altar and slit his throat.
