Following the murder of an elderly priest in a church yesterday in northern France by two men linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), French President Francois Hollande today (July 27, 2016) warned that the militant threat in the country has never been so severe, according to the Euro News website.
In a brief televised address, the French leader spoke of a war against Islamist militancy.
He said, "I also owe you the truth: This war will be long. It is our democracy that is being targeted, it is the bulls-eye and it will be our shield."
Hollande concluded: "It is our unity that makes us strong so French men and women, let us form a blockade, that is how we will win the war against hate and zealotry."
