A man who I would assume is a Muslim helped stop a crazed Nazi from assassinating Jacques Chirac at a Bastille Day parade today:

I saw a guy with a gun,'' said a witness, Mohamed Chelali, who told LCI television that he and other members of the crowd helped subdue the man. Another man knocked the rifle out of the attacker's hand and I threw myself forward, grabbed the gun and then everyone started calling: ‘Police, police,’’’ Chelali said. His account was not immediately confirmed by officials.
