40 Year Old Doctorate Student Commits Islamist Inspired Terror In France

        A 40 year old doctorate student in France, originally from Algeria, attacked a police officer with a hammer, attempting to hit him full force on the head. The attack was captured on camera.
        Officials believe the man self radicalized, having shown no previous association with Islamist groups. The attacker said the attack was for Syria.
        What is happening in Syria is tragic. But a wrong never gives anyone the right to commit a violent act against innocent people. People will always have grievances. But now thousands, maybe millions, believe it is their religious right or duty to respond to grievances, real or not, with acts of terror.
         Thousands have been killed, and thousands more will die, because of the belief that terrorism is acceptable and the desire of God or Allah. There are also those that see terrorism as an understandable response to oppression. So you have a demented religious belief supported by cowardly apologists. Meanwhile, the innocent suffer, and huge resources are expended to respond to terror that could have been put to far better use alleviating poverty and reversing the severe environmental degradation that is choking this world.
