Islamic attacks pick up steam in Europe. What will be done?

There has been a reprisal in the past month of a disturbing trend in Europe: Islamist terror attacks.

On Oct. 4, a migrant from Syria attacked two tourists in the German city of Dresden, killing one. He had arrived in 2015 and had recently finished a three-year juvenile sentence for assaulting a police officer and causing bodily harm.

On Oct. 16, French teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded in a terror attack in the Parisian suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. Paty was killed after he had shown cartoons of Muhammad published in Charlie Hebdo magazine to his class on free speech.

The terrorist responsible had been in contact with Islamist fighters in Syria and reportedly paid around $350 to two students to identify Paty.

On Oct. 29, three people were killed at the Notre Dame Basilica in Nice, France, by a 21-year-old Tunisian who illegally entered the European Union on Sept. 20 through the Italian island of Lampedusa, a favored landing site for migrants coming from North Africa.

After trying once before to reach Europe and not succeeding, he returned, and on his second attempt was transferred to the city of Bari on the Italian mainland where he was put into COVID-19 quarantine.

Tunisian authorities did not flag him as a threat and cited him for minor crimes. He was given an expulsion order on Oct. 9, but because he was not flagged as a terror threat, he was allowed to leave and traveled shortly thereafter to France.
