France is mobilising 7,000 soldiers and increasing its alert status to "emergency attack" level after the death of a teacher in the northeast town of Arras, stabbed to death Friday by a former student with a record of Islamic radicalisation.

President Emmanuel Macron made the decision after convening an emergency meeting of his security cabinet on Friday night.

Macron has described the stabbing attack, which left two other staff members at the school seriously injured, as "Islamist terrorism."

What sort of reply is that to what he said?

An honest one. There's violence everywhere. At least Palestinians and Israelis are fighting each other over land. In America you get shot over a cheeseburger or because someone else can't get laid.

When someone calls the USA out on their school shootings, do you then bring up Ukraine with many more dead?

No, I say "yeah it's unacceptable."

He vents his frustration about religions. While yes, violence is everywhere, it makes a ton of difference if there are < 1 homicides per 100'000 or, for example, 7. Or regarding religions: some outright want you to be violent.
