France should respond by doubling its participation in the anti-ISIS campaign.

Not Islam...yet only the Islamic groups (in multiple countries) are beheading innocent people.

But let’s talk about Ferguson at the U.N. and defend a black strong-arm robber instead.

World War III is in progress.

Westerners held by the terrorists are forced to confess and denounce the West before they are beheaded. Terrorists held by Westerners are allowed to live free of stress, given high profile terrorists lawyers, comfortable clothes, prayer rug, frequent visits form Islamic clergy, soccer, and other luxury items not found in the hell-hole from which they came, and they never denounce their religion.

How times have changed in France. When I vacationed in Europe in the mid 80's, I refused to visit France because of their stance against allowing US planes to fly over French air space in order to bomb Tripoli.

Now, I would enjoy visiting France, and as a descendant of the French, I would be like a kid in a candy store enjoying it's rich history, beauty and culinary delights.

Wait for the Rick Steves episode to ‘rehab’ the Algerians.

He'll jump through his own rectum telling us how wonderful they are and how much we need to understand their culture.

Right. Rick!

He really IS nauseating when he starts that s&^%!

The French pleaded with the savages to set this man free, but the savages’ reptile brains couldn’t understand the pleading, since the French used words like “family” “love” “kindness” “mercy” and “justice”, which in the subhuman brains all sound like “allaku akbar”.

The guy was a harmless nature photographer who went to places like this to take pictures of birds. Islam can do nothing but destroy.

The French have long believed they have a special relationship with Arabs.

Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi, Yemen, Sudan, Nigeria, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.

What do all of these hell-holes have in common other than fonts of terrorism?

“harmless” should read “clueless” or “extremely naive”.

Other than the masterpiece mystery stuff, I avoid PBS but an episode of that guy was in the last few minutes.

The pali and yassir worship was laughable.

I used to work in public TV and I didn’t watch most of it. If some friends in master control on, they would sometimes find a network feed of Stargate or batman TAS and put it on a tie line.

I had to keep an eye out for the ass kissing loudmouth informer to management. He loved to snoop and blab about others. He was a big commie lib and especially hated me since I didn’t conform and was actually competent.

Not once ever did he or anyone else ever was left high and dry for days in a row doing the job of 4. He would have whined for weeks if he had to do one. I never got so much as a gee thanks from any of that crowd upstairs at 1101 GRB for the multiple times it happened to me.

I was planning on going through there years ago.

A lot of cross Africa or around the world motorcycle treks go through these countries.

Used to be a “brotherhood” and folks would not bother you. Sure you would get robbed, but you carried very little to rob so it was expected. THAT was almost a rite of passage.

Now, they kill you and steal your bike.

I had to settle for a long cross continent ride in the US and Canada.
