Echoing the BBC. The focus is all on the possible ‘backlash’.
Via Daily Caller:
Muslims are the true target of the latest terror attack on a Catholic church in France, according to CNN.
In the name of the Islamic State, two Muslim men stormed a Catholic mass in Normandy Monday, took two parishioners and two nuns hostage, delivered a sermon in Arabic at the altar and then slit the throat of an elderly Catholic priest before police shot them dead. One of the hostages is in critical condition.
At least one Catholic person is dead, but according to CNN it’s Muslims in Europe who should be afraid.
“The goal in going after such a provocative target? To trigger a backlash against Muslims in France and drive the country’s Muslims into the recruiting arms of the Islamic State,” CNN surmises.
