France is in a continued state of ‘high security alert’ after a series of Islamic terror attacks rocked the country leaving multiple innocent bystanders dead and wounded.
ZeroHedge (h/t The Luddite Hippie) And now on Tuesday French police descended on a hotel to apprehend a man who had been seen walking the streets of central Paris wielding a machete. Local reports said the man barricaded himself inside the building.
Multiple witnesses had called police when at around 11:30am they saw “a man armed with a machete in the corridors of the Metro at Père-Lachaise station,” according to a Paris police spokesman.
The incident was enough for police to shut down the entire street after the man was seen entering a hotel. The hotel was surrounded with snipers positioned on surrounding buildings.
It’s unclear at this point if he attempted to attack or swing it at anyone, but it understandably caused momentary panic in the area, given last month’s beheadings. So far there’s been no reports of victims, while police said the investigation is ongoing.
One eyewitness was cited in a UK media report as saying:
“There’s a guy walking through the halls of Père Lachaise with a machete. I watched my life pass, not knowing if I should stay in the metro or run back.”
No doubt police are taking no chances and it’s likely that anyone seen brandishing a weapon in public, especially something like a long blade or sword, will trigger a full emergency SWAT response.
On Monday night four people were killed in Vienna when terrorists began random killings in the center of the city. One gunman was still at large hours after the terror attack and was being pursued by police and military.
Other European countries too have increased security given the latest mass shooting by jihadists roving the streets and randomly killing in a Jewish neighborhood of Vienna Monday night.

Won’t be the last copycat attack in Europe. The Muslim rioters and bigots all over the world are encouraging it the best they can since they seem to think their hour has come.
It is disgusting to see the total lack of solidarity in western Europe except between France and Austria, who both were hit with Islamist terror. Merkel is the worst here, she doesn’t even admit that there is a problem with Muslim extremism.

Quran (8:12) – “(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels… “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

There’s going to be a lot more Muslims wielding machetes eager to please warlord Mohammad.
No Muslims = NO TERROR
Muslims = TERROR

Consider a hypothetical: a Christian travels to a muslim majority shithole country, enters a mosque, produces an automatic firearm, shouts God is Great & proceeds to shoot the people assembled there. After killing several people, he is apprehended & charged with murders. At his trial he mounts the defense that the honor killings, FGM, forced female child marriages to old men, the covering of women with burkas, the cruel halal slaughter of cattle, camels and sheep, the torture of dogs and dozens of other islamic doctrinally based actions all operate to offend his faith and sensibilities. Enraged by such arrogance, the judge declares, “you cannot argue that here, this is not even your country!” The guy replies, “why not, your faithful come into Christian countries and do such things for the same reason.” The “educated” judge, wearing his judicial robes, responds “but that is different. it is our religion that requires it and the persons who do such are good dutiful muslims fighting the jihad for allah. you are not a muslim. you are rather an infidel killing muslims. when you do that you are guilty.” so the fellow is guilty for the same action that if done by a muslim would not be a crime. it seems that the crime is defined by who commits it not by the nature of the act & intent. Do you really want muslims who hold this persepective to share a lawful presence in your society?
