They Ask That You Leave Your Machete Home When You Visit The Louvre
To the Daily Mail's Dave Burke and Peter Allen's credit, they got the translation right of "Allahu Akbar," perhaps because the Paris prefect knew -- it does not mean "God is great" or "I wanna see the Mona Lisa" (which makes its home at the Louvre along with a ton of other incredible art).
Allahu Akbar is about Islam's calls for Muslims to engage in the violent takeover of the globe for Islam.
The story:
A terror probe has been launched in Paris after a machete-wielding man was shot after trying to attack four soldiers outside the Louvre.The suspect was shot five times in the stomach and is in a critical condition.
He was shouting 'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is the greatest' - according to the Paris prefect.
After being refused entry, he pulled out the weapon and was shot by a soldier, officials have confirmed. A solider is believed to have suffered a head injury.
The Louvre was evacuated. Here's a photo I took in more peaceful times in the area near where the guy pulled his machete: 
Let's blame it on Trump and burn down McD's (do they have Starbucks there?).
Gotta keep up with the times you know.

Yes, they have Starbucks everywhere -- probably everywhere but Guantanamo.

I'm as concerned to Islamist terrorism as the next guy, but this one sounds like garden-variety crazy person to me.

Bob, they're French. They burn cars and tires.

Shot 5 times in the stomach and still alive? Someone needs an anatomy lesson and a refresher course on the range.

Perhaps just a very good shot.... hit the same exact place 5 times.

"Shot 5 times in the stomach and still alive?"
Yes, but he will no longer enjoy a meal. The ultimate cruelty in France!

Maybe his camel had been chewing khat. Makes people act crazy sometimes.

Au contraire. Gitmo DOES have a Starbucks for the prisoners - but everything is tainted with "Pumpkin Spice" (I mean the flavoring, not the fat ginger Spice Girl).
Which is just cruel if you ask me.
