Machine gun attack on Paris magazine office

Feel free to blame the Papists.

I saw on Twitter that the police have surrounded a house in Reims, about an hour and half drive northeast of Paris. They have also found an abandoned vehicle that matches the description of the one those dbags were driving.

I hope French security forces show the terrorists the same kindness those scumbags showed to that poor wounded soul on the sidewalk.

The reality is christians are the same threat here in america to freedom. When you have groups who go out and shoot abortion doctors, kill gays, and attack people like atheists and muslims while trying to form america into a christian theocracy we prett much are in the same boat. Those people of christian faith get their people into power and use our military to fight against muslims and kill them when they are in marriage ceremonies, parties, and praying in their own country. Please do not tell me of how muslims are a danger to free speach when you have christians trying to ban expression of atheism, Islam, and homosexuality here in this country while erecting huge displays of their faith that they want protected in the public square from the vandals who target anything other than christianity.

If you want us to accept that the religious right wing radicals here in america are not an expression of christianity then you will need to stop pretending that the radical muslim terrorists of the world are all an expression of Islam. Otherwise you are the exact same as the WBC, NOM, and other christian terrorist groups here in the states. How is it in your compound in Waco?

There have been only six abortion doctors killed since records began (excluding those perhaps accidentally killed in liquor store holdups). Trying to get Christians to kill people in the name of Jesus is obviously an utterly futile task, because even gay boy scout leaders are more violent.

Because somebody asked in my locked double thread: Why 'allegedly' islamist?

Well, look at the video and the whole attack as it happened. This isn't the work of nutcases who want to please Allah or something. Those strap on a bomb belt and march right in. The Paris attackers had a list, a plan and they want to survive. It's almost as if they are professional mercenaries doing a job. If they are AQ or IS or Al-whatthegreenfuck this would mean that group changed tactics. I'd almost go so far and say that looks more like open war or a demonstration of power than terror.

As for 'Islam did it!' - no it didn't. Like always, some people are abusing religion to incite hatred in the underprivileged. Shit has worked since man invented gods and will probably for a long, long time. The head honchos couldn't give less of a crap about religion. They want power and they abuse religion to get it. But I do have to admit, the teachings of Islam make it quite easy. However, not one of my Muslim friends, acquaintance or coworkers have the least bit of sympathy for islamist terror. They share the sentiment with 99 per cent of all Muslims.

Btw, a wild theory that popped into my head while I was following the events was damn, what if this was organized by nazi nutters? They're stoking hatred all over Europe at the moment and they are using the uneasy feeling about Islam to spread their poison. A brutal attack? An extremist leader (LePen) who'd probably please even fringe groups just waiting to get to the top? A false flag operation to set certain events in motion? Remind you of something?

Yeah. Right-wing Nazis. That's it.

It's like the way one of the Tom Clancy novels with Muslim terrorists had to change them to Nazis for the movie version.

We've seen this pattern before: the Tsarnaev brothers and the Boston Marathon.

The suspects the authorities are pursuing are young men of Arab descent. This isn't a false flag operation.

Not everything (in fact, practically nothing) that happens which your political opponents exploit is caused by your political opponents.

I remember Jay Leno doing a joke about the Army capturing Saddam Hussein. Somebody claimed that finding him at that moment was part of some scheme by the Bush Administration. Leno said "You know, it is kinda funny we found him just when we were looking for him."

Hey, now, we can't go blaming muslim terrorists for the acts of muslim terrorists, y'know. It might offend the muslim terrorists.

All 3 of those are essentially the same thing. At the end of the day these guys wanted to cause change to their line of thinking through violence.

The reason for the change in tactics is probably due to the fact that over the past decade there's been a whole shitload of terrorists killed.

Holy fuck you're blind and stupid.

And Archangel should know: Blind and Stupid are his specialties.

It's like you and @Archangel were separated at birth.

One suspect dead, two in custody according to NBC:

Speaking of Piss Christ...

That's just fucking cowardice and stupid. I'd rather it be up than taken down just to spite those fuckers. They won't subvert my freedom of speech.

The State Department spokesmen needs to condemn this clear act of workplace violence.

WTF? Begged for his life? Talk about an exercise in futility! You would have to be one dumb motherfucker to think you will get mercy from a shit-bag extremist.
At least die with dignity! I don't get how some people's minds are wired.

Claire Berlinski was there, by accident, and writes about it.

Sad but true. Asking an extremist to have mercy is like asking a monkey to file your taxes. But waxing philosophical, every single one of those people killed had a good run...they had a good life.
If these killers live to be a hundred their lives will have been, and will always be shit. All their children and future generations will be shit.

"If Muhammad Returned..."
'I am the prophet, fool!'
'Shut the fuck up, infidel!'

You're a tiresome, racist piece of shit. I hope you get cancer and die.

You are a fucking idiot.

The New York Times again showed why it's birdcage liner, with many people (even liberals) getting disgusted with the lead sentence.

LONDON — The sophisticated, military-style strike Wednesday on a French newspaper known for satirizing Islam staggered a continent already seething with anti-immigrant sentiments in some quarters, feeding far-right nationalist parties like France’s National Front.

So how does thinking that a shit-bag extremist will show no mercy make me a racist? Not seeing that connection. Please explain,
because I'm drawing a blank. Would you not just give the finger to a guy who is about to kill you? Race has nothing to do with that.

MSNBC explaining that the Hebdo attack is the same as Jerry Falwell suing Hustler magazine. Thanks for putting it in perspective, MSNBC.

So Jerry Falwell led an attack killing twelve Hustler Magazine employees?
