According to a new report, the man who stabbed four police officers to death in Paris this morning is a recent convert to Islam:
NY POST – The deranged employee who stabbed four people to death — including three cops — inside a Paris police headquarters had converted to Islam 18 months ago, according to a report.
The unidentified, 45-year-old IT worker attacked three members of the police force’s intelligence division Thursday inside two different offices on the first floor, then went into a stairwell and assaulted two women, French TV station BFMTV reported.
The man, who fatally injured four people before he was gunned down, had converted to Islam a year and a half ago.
Still, police are not treating the attack as a terrorist act, saying the employee appears to have been feuding with supervisors.
French authorities took the man’s wife into custody in the aftermath of the grisly attack, according to CNN.
The fifth victim in the stabbing was in serious condition and underwent surgery Thursday.
You’d think that in france, of all places, they’d have a better handle on the people who work INSIDE a police station.
Now I can understand some initial hesitation in not wanting to simply attribute this to Islam – they need to investigate.
But they’d be fools not to consider terrorism, and significantly so. Because feuding with supervisors, at least for most people, doesn’t end with this kind of death, violence and bloodshed.
