France has been termed the terror capital of Europe, with multiple attacks occurring, as well as others being thwarted, over the last few years. A big plot to blow up the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and a nuclear power plant was foiled in July 2014. Even more plots were foiled in France. There was an attack where an Islamist hit 11 people with a car while yelling “Allahu Ackbar”, which came shortly after another attack by an Islamist on French police in December. Now we have this
(BBC) Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12Â people and injuring 10, French officials say.
Witnesses spoke of sustained gunfire at the office as the attackers opened fire with assault rifles before escaping.
Police have launched a major operation in the Paris area in their hunt for the attackers.
Charlie’s latest tweet was a cartoon of the Islamic State militant group leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Two black hooded men walked in and opened fire, then escaped, and are still on the loose. Anyone think this has anything to do with the so-called religion of peace?
(UK Telegraph) “Several men in black cagoules were heard to shout ‘the Prophet has been avenged'”, wrote Pierre de Cossette, a broadcast journalist with Europe1 News.
Charlie Hedbo has published numerous satirical pieces and cartoons regarding Islam and Mohammed. They’ve made fun of Christians, Jews, and many, many more. But it is only one that turns violent.
The Guardian reports that 10 reporters and 2 police officers are among the murdered. Also
The journalist Martin Boudot, from the Premières Lignes agency, has posted this video from the roof of a building situated close to the Charlie Hebdo building. we can hear gunshots and voices who cry ‘Allahu akbar’.
Huh. How about that. I’m sure we’ll soon hear about “lone wolfs” and how this has nothing to do with the radical, hardcore beliefs of a chunk of Muslims, unlike when the entire Republican party, all conservatives, all Christians, are blamed for the actions of 1 person.
Francois Hollande has been speaking to the media. He said that 11 people had been killed and four people seriously injured but 40 people had been rescued.
Hollande said that the security level had been increased in Paris and a number of terrorist plots had been foiled in recent weeks.Â
An emergency meeting will be held at the Elysees Palace in the next hour.Hollande said France had experienced “an exceptional act of barbarism committed against a newspaperâ€.
Perhaps France should reconsider their policies which have let vast amounts of illegal aliens from Muslim countries in.
Crossed at Right Wing News.
yes radical rightwing fundamentalists who wish to inflict their religious positions on others.
most muslims in France arrived legally from former French colonies
Gee, who could have predicted John would make this leap? Funny how he fails to actually condemn the Islamic jihadis, eh?
Incredible. 12 innocent people die from idiot muslim jihadis in France and all John can do is use it as an opportunity to slam his political opponents here and stand up for muslims there.
You can kiss their asses all you want John, but at the first chance, they’ll hack your head off and leave it by your solar powered blanky.
…And how many people have “radical rightwing fundamentalists” killed in the past 50 years? How many riots? Executions? No, the Oklahoma bombing doesn’t count, as that lunatic wasn’t a Christian.
Quit listening to the voices in your head, John, and rejoin the real world.
Let’s condemn the violent murderers and those like them, but spare the majority of peaceable Muslims.
Not all liberals are terrorists like Ted Kaczynski. Not all conservatives are terrorists like Eric Frein. Not all Christians are murderers like Scott Roeder.
I will agree that this is not representative of all Muslims, just like individual criminals are not representative of all gun owners, for another example.
But one problem is that the perception does exist. It is my belief that until and unless the moderates regain control of Islam, all are going to be tainted by actions such as these.
It may not be fair, but that’s just the way it’s going to be.
Let’s condemn the pussies who are “offended” over a satirical cartoon. “Religion of Peace”? Total B.S. More like “religion of the perpetually aggrieved.”
j,
Many people, including conservatives, are offended and perpetually aggrieved. The difference is that civilized people don’t murder innocents when they’re aggrieved.
The same way that not all Christian fundamentalists firebomb abortion clinics and murder doctors, not all Muslims are murderers.
