"site of the assault, was on an Islamic State hit list recovered from suspected jihadist Sid Ahmed Ghlam"

"an arsenal of weapons was discovered in Ghlam’s car as well as at his student residence, which included Kalashnikov rifles, a police-issue pistol, and a number of bullet-proof vests. Ghlam is currently in a high-security prison awaiting trial for numerous crimes including murder, attempted murder, association with criminals with a view to commit crimes and other infractions connected to a terrorist organization."

The Church was made up of Senegal parishioners.

Only the elderly attend Mass regularly, so that doesn’t surprise me.

We’re seeing the result of Christianity being removed from society.

Not true. According to reports, the Church was mostly made up of Senegal immigrants - young and old. How many of them were practicing takiya (however it is spelled) is unknown.

The old fashioned beat cop or sheriff’s deputy of many of our youths should have seen what was coming and reacted. But then that was racist and abused the racial and religious minorities’ rights???

Burn it down! Burn every mosque in 50 mile circle of this murder! France—Show your anger! Bring back the guillotine for these murdering devils. They will cut off Christian heads—we should reply with the same fate for those
Islamics survive the attacks.

France has emptied out her Catholic Churches for DECADES now.....REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED, SADLY.

Went to Easter Mass in Paris is 1983 in a very wealthy area, and there was not 50 people in a HUGE CHURCH!!! Been back to France, SPain, Italy, and it's all the same...a HANDFUL of people at Sunday Mass.
