The non-existent problem of Islamic terror struck again near
the Louvre, the famous French museum, as a terrorist of unknown religion
and national origin shouting "Allah Akbar" (a phrase in Arabic that
means everyone should be nicer to other people and not behead them) and
waving a machete was shot dead by French soldiers.
It's unknown why the soldiers shot him, but some experts are blaming Islamophobia. Others complain that the soldiers used excess force, first attempting to fight him off and prevent him from beheading him, before taking the extreme disproportionate approach of shooting him. Sadly, gun control once again failed to accomplish its stated purpose of allowing murderers to kill without any interference.
The assailant, who has been hospitalized, has already complained that his nurses are female and aren't wearing hijabs. The European Court has promised to take up his case.
While it's unknown why the man was carrying two machetes around, it's possible that he wanted to present them as a gift to the soldiers by slashing at their heads with it, and they, misunderstanding his intentions due to their prejudices, shot him instead.
Either way it's a tragedy and we should not jump to any conclusions, but we should welcome more refugees, as long as they're Muslim, because we don't want any religious tests, except for non-Muslims.
What we really should take away from this is that it has nothing to do with Islam, but possibly with Islamophobia, and we will shortly be interviewing a number of moderate Muslim Brotherhood spokesmen, most of whom aren't carrying machetes, but who are very concerned about the Islamophobic backlash and the ability of French soldiers to shoot back.
