French soldier shoots attack outside Louvre.

A French soldier guarding the Louvre in Paris has shot a man who tried to attack a security patrol with a machete shouting "Allahu Akbar", police say.

The man, who tried to gain entry to the Louvre's shopping centre, was shot in the abdomen and seriously injured.

One soldier sustained a slight head injury.

PM Bernard Cazeneuve said the attack was "terrorist in nature". The Louvre, home to numerous celebrated art works, is the world's most visited museum.

The incident began at 10:00 local time (09:00 GMT) in the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre at stairs leading to an entrance to the museum itself.

A patrol of four soldiers are reported to have tried to subdue the assailant using non-lethal force after he rushed at them.

When this failed and after one soldier was injured, five shots were fired. The suspected attacker was taken to hospital.

Is the Louvre guilty of imposing a "Muslim Ban"?

I honestly had to do a Google search on that because what you said didn't instantly click in my brain. Hehe.

That's interfering with his religious right to murder the innocent. How dare they keep a devoted Muslim from doing as Mohammed commanded.

Hi KW,

Fortunately, the French aren't quite as PC as we Americans. They didn't have some thoughtless person tell everyone that God has given each individual the right to pursue his own happiness. All any American has to do is show that whatever action is being questioned is their way of finding their happy place and such action immediately becomes a constitutionally protected action. After all, apparently somewhere in the Scriptures, God said so. Although, personally, I haven't found it yet.

God bless you,
In Christ, ted

No, all non-machete-carrying people are allowed in freely.

Be careful there are pacifists that will insist that french soldier is evil for resorting to violence and not taking a non violent approach. Christian pacifists at that.
