Charlie Hebdo massacre: how the West will respond
breitbart ^ | Jan. 7, 2015 | James Delingpole

Posted on 01/07/2015 6:31:03 AM PST by PROCON

The story so far: 12 people, including two policemen, have been murdered at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by two hooded men wielding AK47s. In 2011 the magazine was firebombed after running a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. Charlie Hebdo’s most recent tweet, before the latest attack, was a cartoon featuring the leader of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Here’s what will happen next.

1. French authorities will urge the public not to jump to any unhelpful conclusions about the identity and motivation of the killers.

2. Politicians, police chiefs and mainstream media reports will urge restraint over what is clearly an inexplicable rogue incident which may have nothing whatsoever to do with the Religion of Peace.

3. Extensive – and largely fruitless – efforts will be made to find Muslim community leaders prepared to speak out against the incident, in the unlikely event that it proves that the killers may have had Islamist sympathies.

The only answer is a hard put down of islam. This will happen, they are seriously overplaying their hand and believe nothing will ever happen.

Never. Gonna. Happen. The West will go down clinging to its god of multiculturalism.

The world over I think people are getting close to saying enough of this chit and the politicians will be made to stop the insanity of muzzie cuddling.

Is this a “Workplace Violence”?

Also Israel and American soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan need to be brought before the International Criminal Court as I am sure they hurt Islamic feelings.<"sarc"/>

We have only to look to our OWN government — Obama and Hillary — stating that a YouTube video was responsible for Benghazi to prove the thesis of this author.

When our own government points to a video as some type of justification of malicious violence, then you know it’s over.

Ultimately, the world will resemble that of Terry Gilliam's film Brazil. A bomb will blow up in front of a sidewalk cafe, and crews will quickly clean up the carnage and the diners will continue their meals and conversations as if nothing happened.

And yet our southern border is wide open and Obama and Progressives (Marxists) insists on keeping it that way. Republicans are too scared to do anything about it.

Those people voted in those politicians. This is what they get for their Liberal utopian ideology.

There is no peace without War. More must die before this gets into their thick heads.
Probably millions more.

How will the West respond?

With wringing of hands, piles of teddy bears and lots of navel gazing as per usual..................

We voted for our politicians, too. We couldn’t even get those betraying liars to ditch Boehner.

"politicians will be made to stop the insanity of muzzie cuddling"

Politicians the world over have successfully immunized themselves from the "people".

Screw “the west”. If the very Men of France don’t respond and start attacking islam then there will be no response that is in any way meaningful.

I watched the openings of ABCNBCCBS at the top of the 7:00 PST hour. One led off with the Paris attack, the other 2 led with how cold it is in Chicago. And the unspoken implication is globalwarming/climatechange, etc.

So, reporting on a hoax is more important than reporting on Islamic terrorism.

***facepalm***

How wonderfully karmic (for Ovomit) would it be to discover that at least one of these terrorists was released from Gitmo.

God have mercy on the victims...but please, please, please let this be.

Even better would be to discover that one of the weapons was from the Fast and Furious crime.

"Watch, France will do nothing and will soon be overrun."

Not only France. Mudhommed is now the most popular name for new born baby boys in several European countries. And the mussie birthrate is two to three times that of the natives.

As Mark Steyn says: "Demographics is destiny."
