(Anadolu) The terrorists must not be confused with Muslims, former French President Francois Hollande warned Friday.
“These Islamist terrorists want there to be a war between religions,” Hollande said while reacting to the deadly knife attack in Nice city, which left three people dead.
“Do not confuse these terrorists with Muslims. It would be the fault that will plunge us into a conflict that we do not want to touch,” the ex-president said on the morning edition of LCI television.
Hollande was referring to a string of attacks which took place on Thursday in the French cities of Nice, Avignon and Lyon, and the French consulate of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
