    That's "I am Charlie" in English.

    The French are coming out by the thousands to demonstrate in solidarity with the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, where 12 people were murdered earlier today by several cowards.

    Good on the French! This American stands in solidarity with you!

    May their souls rest in peace. May whatever gods they believe in look after their soul.

    Paris's tweets is trending victims names, Je suis charlie, Nous sommes charlie, and the locations of protests. The pictures of protests are heartening.

    I do. The answer is, Its not going to accomplish anything. As Ive stated over and over and over....crazy fanatics only respond to ONE thing and that is absolute force. Radical Islam should be rounded up immediately and exterminated from the planet. It wont happen though, this will continue happening as it always has and people will stand shoulder to shoulder with catch phrase signs thinking they are actually doing something. As if these radicals are fearing signs. Obviously its quite the opposite.

    Thanks. I would hope everyone reading should come to that conclusion but sadly our society has been dumbed down to the point where people actually think a group of insane people who behead little children can and should be reasoned with. They shouldn't. We should go in with overwhelming force and terminate them with extreme prejudice. The world is being bullied by cavemen with clubs while those of our nations who possess trillions of dollars of weaponry sit in the corners pissing ourselves preferring beheadings and office massacres over someone thinking we are intolerant to religion.
    Religion stops being a religion when they begin committing genocide and acts of terror. At that point it becomes a political movement that should be dealt with by force.

    Well, your post isn't very entertaining. We already knew that 1+1=2. The sky is blue and the ocean deep. It does give me cause for bother tho, because "we" are a dwindling number. The majority who rule over us ascribe to a whole different paradigm. I guess, anyway.
    You and I and the rest who comprise the "we" who live in the sensible world (a shrinking place) are pretty well aware of what needs to be done, and how. This has been addressed every coupla' hundred years in history.

    This.

    Mass protests caused by terror, tyranny or a revolutionary act watched by millions are going to cause one or two emotional processes.
    One rise in emotion immidiatly (by watching the terror and protests), and the second rise in emotion right after when the first becomes clear (process of awakening) This is why it is very hard to stop an emotional (aka revolutionary) process.

    When people see the terror followed by massive protests on tv and online, their state of emotion is going to rise (unnoticed), and when you see that that process is going on, it is going to do the same once again, than it's called 'awakening'.

    The result is the growth of movements, and the only thing that is 'accomplished' is that a person becomes part of a movement (and these movements cannot be stopped by opposition or a political struggle or via revolts or protests, because that will be like throwing oil on the fire.

    The only way to accomplish something (that is keeping freedom alive, because the other side of the coin is useless) is by reducing emotions as much as possible.

    It's much easier to amplify emotions of a society, than to reduce emotions while events like these happen a couple of times a year. One shock after the other, or one awakening after the other (depends on how informed someone is)
    But when you see both emotional steps (both a rise in emotion), a thirth cannot happen (because you knew what the first and second did)

    Just because the Israelis+Palestinians (*)(*)(*)(*)ed things up beyound recognition doesnt mean Europe has to follow the same lead....

    I salute the joined protest in France from all religions, its the only way to diminish these attacks.

    Terrorists aim to destroy harmony by terrorising the public, driving a wedge of hatred, these kind of demonstrations unite the citizens.

    Alpha,

    As I was pondering in amazement the daring performance of these murderers and the death of 12 people in Paris France, I also was wondering what motivates these people to resort to extreme actions and assassinate 12 innocent victims? Religious zealotry one would say... but this has ramifications in very many ways... itemizing the reasons, one can find too many to write about but someone ~ Ari Lieberman ~ preceded all of us and wrote it all in a very interesting article... Here it is for all to read... HB

    Appeasement Comes Back to Haunt France
    January 8, 2015
    ~by Ari Lieberman

    It&#8217;s time that we finally admit it. The battle for Old Europe is over. The Gates of Vienna have finally been breached. Old Europe has been experiencing a tidal wave of violence and terror in recent years correlating to and in direct proportion with the growing influence of Muslims in the western part of the continent. Yesterday&#8217;s massacre in Paris by Muslims screaming &#8220;Allahuakbar&#8221; (what else?) represents a culmination of growing Muslim power and even dominance in France. Britain, Sweden, Belgium and the rest of the sorry lot are not too far behind. Today&#8217;s European Muslims have successfully accomplished what the Nazis could not accomplish in World War II. They have sown an irreversible dread into Europe and implanted a fascist-like Islamist seed that has taken firm root.
    It is ironic that France has been the recent target of most of the violence. France of all the countries of Old Europe is one of Islam&#8217;s greatest appeasers. For all its official rhetoric, France has done precious little to stem the growing tide of Jew-hatred and anti-Israelism that has gripped that country. The sign of a sick and diseased country can be measured by its treatment of its Jews and by that paradigm, France&#8217;s condition is terminal. Mass emigration of French Jewry, prompted primarily by French Islamists, is met with muted response and inaction by French officials who appear either indifferent to their plight or at a loss to devise a coherent strategy to effectively deal with the phenomena.

    You cannot stop extremism by making more extremists. Every time we have gone in and bombed some village, town, or city we have killed some terrorists. The problem is that we also cause collateral damage which is code for we have killed innocent people. When we do that we create a whole new batch of terrorists. So what have you achieved? You kill three terrorists but you create four more to replace them. We need to try something different because repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insane.

    You mean a genocide? We didn't commit the genocide this mockery of a human being suggested and because of that, you draw the conclusion that we didn't used brute force?

    The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistans killed thousands upon thousands of civilians, plus the military personal. Israel have been doig it for decades. If the muslim would have accomplished even a tenth of the brutal attrocities we've committed there, we would scream like stuck pigs - wait; We're already screaming like stuck pigs.

    Oh, and thank you for reproducing my post before I edited it. It had to come out.

    Genocide was not in the equation nor was brute force. Brute force is unbridled.

    What, we were firing blank rounds, maybe?

    Toefoot, even using a fist is using brute force.

    A military invasion is brute force.

    Past that, we're talking about extermination, or genocide.
