Just another day in France, nothing to see here, nothing to worry about.

Oh and it had nothing to do with Islam.

It never does.

"Allahu Akbar"

In English that means, "This has nothing to do with Islam which is a religion of peace!"

According to the prosecutor, the attacker, armed with the machetes, approached four soldiers guarding the entrance to crowded shops beneath the Louvre just before 10:00 local time (09:00 GMT).

When the soldiers challenged him, he attacked two of them while shouting in Arabic "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest"). One of them shot him at least three times, hitting him in the stomach.

"The attacker fell to the ground, seriously wounded. He has been taken to hospital and is fighting for his life," the prosecutor said.
He was carrying a rucksack which contained paint spray cans - but no explosives.

Nope, Islam had nothing to do with it at all.

Paint bombs, just remember the targets were not the people, but the paintings.

Our heritage.
Our culture.

Museums in Iraq ? All destroyed by Muslims.
Historical places in Syria ? All destroyed by Muslims.
The Buddha statues in Afghanistan ? Destroyed by Muslims.

Imagine living in a city where you have to have armed guards
in front of your most cultural places.
Europe is a wonderful place.

I'd never heard that one Warner was telling about Islam being responsible for the loss of the nose of the Sphinx. I always thought it was Napoleon's cannons.

But yeah, It's a story:

The Arab historian al-Maqr?z?, writing in the 15th century, attributes the loss of the nose to iconoclasm by Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr�a Sufi Muslim from the khanqah of Sa'id al-Su'ada�in AD 1378, upon finding the local peasants making offerings to the Sphinx in the hope of increasing their harvest. Enraged, he destroyed the nose, and was later hanged for vandalism. Al-Maqr?z? describes the Sphinx as the "talisman of the Nile" on which the locals believed the flood cycle depended.
