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.

I agree, but I don't think any sort of effective measures will come from the French government.

The French people need to respond, and in retaliatory fashion. I believe there are some there who just may have had enough, this is a significant emotional event for French citizens. There need to be consequences. Prediction: Mosques go boom in France.

The key will be to ensure Churches and Synagogues are well defended FIRST.

If I am not mistaken, in Sweden, there has been a mosque or two that when up in smoke via being torched.

We had some left wing talk show guy here in Chattanooga talking about how the “intellectual” Islam has been taken over by “fundamentalists” just like the Christian religion has. I can’t get a grasp of this stupidity. From day 1 when Mohammed murdered thousands of Jews, this religion has been a religion of terror and Murder. My hero is Charles Martel.

Look for violence to break out in the next couple of years by the natives against the Muslims over in Europe. It is coming.

Remember how bummed out the Democrats were that 9/11 didn't happen on their watch?
There's a reason Obama and the RATs are importing more Islamists and
it's being covered up by the southern border invasion. "Look a squirrel"

Could you imagine working in France at a place that had lampooned Mo and not CCWing? The Amish could come for you at any time.

Obama has been busy releasing terrorists. Every terrorist act now belongs to the Democrat Party.

If they don’t they should as there is no protection by government or police. Same situation here.

We need to deal with the lexicon, specifically the word "Islamophobia", and how we're supposed to react when we hear this word.

Why shouldn't we fear Islamists in our midst?

When you are in an airport, and you see someone in Islamist garb, or for that matter, anyone who looks Arab, isn't it THEIR fault that certain thoughts enter our heads?

"Islamophobia is completely justifiable, and if you're an innocent follower of Islam, then it is incumbent on YOU to limit the damage to yourself and your family, by not only speaking out, but getting in the streets to protest your own out of control co-religionists.

Soon we’ll have CAIR issuing press releases saying how innocent muslims feel threatened.

Agreed. Go visit the UK and see how it is now given over to muzzies, along with Holland, Spain, Sweeden, and Denmark.

1. Make it a crime to criticize islam.

2. Jail anyone who publishes a cartoon of the pedophile.
