The French government isn't doing enough to protect the Kurdish community from the persecution and violence that follows them. Kurds should be able to live in peace and security, but complacency among authorities doesn't allow for this. This attack shows the extent to which racist far-right ideologies threaten the peace in France.
While the attack is undoubtedly heinous, French authorities — who are doing everything they can to protect Kurdish sites — aren't at fault. Although it's clear that the suspect was targeting foreigners, it's not certain that he was targeting Kurds in particular. Rather than inciting further violence, officials should be left to conduct a thorough investigation.
