Too shocking and alarming is the terror killing in a Christian church in France.

A knife-wielding attacker shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a suspected terrorist incident at a church in the French city of Nice on Thursday, police, and officials said. Nice’s mayor, Christian Estrosi, who described the attack as terrorism, said the attacker had repeatedly shouted the phrase ‘Allahu Akbar’, or God is greatest, even after he had been detained by police.”The methods match, without doubt, those used against the brave teacher in Conflans Sainte Honorine, Samuel Paty,” he said, referring to a French teacher beheaded earlier this month in an attack in a suburb of Paris.The attack comes while France is still reeling from the beheading earlier this month of middle school teacher Paty by a man of Chechen origin.Hope that all the right-thinking Muslim leaders in India including the Muslim League, too will join me in condemning this heinous terror attack against the Christians.
