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.”
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.
