It happened again. In the same area near Paris, where the teacher Samuel Paty was brutally murdered last October after a school discussion about freedom of religion, an alleged Islamist assassin cut the throat of a police officer on Friday. The unsuspecting victim of the fatal attack leaves two children behind. Before the police shot him in self-defense, the murderer is said to have screamed out his perverse message - Allahu akbar - God is greater!
In France, terrorist killings in the name of the Islamic god have claimed more than 250 lives in recent years; Hardly any major city or region in the country was spared. There is also a direct connection between the murder of the teacher Samuel Paty and the policewoman Stéphanie M.: The murderer on Friday, a previously innocent Tunisian who had lived illegally in France for ten years and was granted the right to stay in 2020, was one right after Paty's execution Internet group called "Respected Mohammed" joined.
For most people, the murder of the policewoman looks like the next link in a chain that won't break. And it is precisely this mixture of horror and dulling that is part of the strategy of the so-called “Islamic State”, which recruits its murderously pious violent criminals via the Internet. With more and more deaths, a civil war mood should arise, and peaceful coexistence of ethnic groups and religions should become impossible; Fear should rule in Europe. Worst of all, the grim statements by French President Macron that such terrorism will never be accepted are increasingly becoming a sad routine.
