A little too complicated to understand, huh? I suggest a reading comprehension course at your local elementary school

There’s nothing to understand.

NICE, France (Reuters) - A knife-wielding attacker shouting “Allahu Akbar” beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a suspected terrorist act at a church in the French city of Nice on Thursday, while a
gunman was shot dead by police in a separate incident.

Within hours of the Nice attack, police killed a man who had threatened passersby with a handgun in Montfavet, near the southern French city of Avignon. He was also shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest), according to radio station Europe 1.

Now a priest in Lyon has been shot inside (it sounds like but also hear reports he may have been outside locking up for the day) his church. Sounds like twice in the stomach with a shotgun. He's alive for the moment, in critical condition in the hospital.

This is so horrific and sickening. I hope and pray that he will survive. My goodness.

An interesting detail:

The issue has led to tension with some Muslim-majority countries, with effigies of the French leader burnt in Bangladesh and a war of words with (Trump’s pal) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who questioned Mr Macron's mental health.

Where I grew up, one is owed basic courtesy but you must earn respect. It is not given simply by demanding it.

But the demand for respect is coming from Allah. That makes a difference, surely?

**** Allah and his pedophile 'prophet', my dude.

I have never understood why when someone says something negative about Muhammad their reaction is to riot and sometimes kill someone.

For the morons who see no difference can any of you point to anything even remotely similar in the Qur'an to the Parable of the Good Samaritan?

OK, Muslims get upset about the cartoons of Muhammad, but why deliberately attack a church?

Always sad when someone has to resort to insult when they can't successfully make their argument.

I'll take that as yet another failure on your part.

Excuse me, where did rogue fail exactly?

You may take it as whatever you like; others can see what it actually is.

Ask him - he's the one throwing out the insults. First sign of a failed argument.

Neither Judaism nor Christianity can be described as religion of peace in history.

If we're judging the religion by it's adherents, the Rohingya could attest to the violence of Buddhists. If we're judging the actual texts, neither Judaism nor Christianity have proscriptions for violence outside of the conquering of Canaan. There's a lot of usage of the death penalty but that's largely been done away with the Mishnah. The New Testament focuses more on the spiritual than temporal power and social ordering.
