(CNSNews.com) - "This is a terrible act of violence, and one that we condemn in the strongest possible terms," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning, shortly after masked gunman killed 12 people at the offices of a satirical newspaper in Paris that has made fun of the Prophet Mohammed.

Isaiah 9:16 - For the leaders of this people cause them to err ; and they that are led of them are destroyed .

Matthew 15:14 - Let them alone : they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors , and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err , and destroy the way of thy paths. 13 The LORD standeth up to plead , and standeth to judge the people. 14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

Pres FUBO has now weighed in.

Its terrorism.

3 minutes ago
Statement from U.S. President Barack Obama

“I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine that reportedly killed 12 people.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time.

“France is America’s oldest ally, and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world.

“Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended. France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers.

“We are in touch with French officials and I have directed my Administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice.”

“and he also called Islam a “peaceful religion.”...

And yet the very “prophet” himself was a butcher, a rapist and a killer. Sorry. No sale.

Well, in the BIG picture, there’s only Christ vs anti-Christ, and there’s no “neutral” or “middle” ground.

Obama is clearly in the anti-Christ camp,
right there with other liberals, Islam, etc.

Bush’s cowardice in naming the real enemy is the biggest thing I hold against him.

“you can’t go to war with 4 billion Muslims!”

Well, whether you “can” or “can’t” - they’re at war with you!

2 Thes 2:8-15
“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. “
