Politicians try to calm fears, but the mass shooting at Charlie Hebdo follows a series of attacks across France

French politicians rushed to offer their commiserations in the aftermath of the mass shooting at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, but they have been battling fears about terrorism for years.

The success of Marine Le Pen, the far-Right Front National leader, has been the most visible sign of the rising tide of Islamophobia in France, which increased again in the wake of several attacks in December.

Miss Le Pen said that she was "horrified" by the attack on the satirical magazine, saying she felt "huge sadness for the victims and sent her condolences to the families of the victims."

In December, the French Prime Minister Manuel Valls had to call for calm after a series of attacks – where cars were used as battering rams on festive crowds – at Christmas.

Thats actually good ultimately. Because people are now almost immune. So when the actual backlash starts, they no longer fear the words.

Yup, that islamization chart has held true.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This disgusting article is Stockholm Syndrome on steroids.

The authorities in France detailed UNARMED officers to the site

Except for the large metropolitan areas, most American 'neighborhoods' are well-armed.

So you know where they'll hit.

As do we...

"Wow... they’ve just had a horrific Muslim Terrorist attack, and they’re whining about “Islamophobia”?"

Which is why I won't shed any tears for Europe when they are overrun by the Muslims; it will be an apt punishment for the arrogance and stupidity of the European elites. And if the same happens here, it will be for the same reason.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Being afraid to confront Islamic terrorists is the worst kind is Islamophobia

[MortMan]

A phobia is an irrational fear.

Fearing the effects of islamization is not irrational.

Yep, people have to realize it's not just the Islamo-Nazis but those who clear the way for them. Like in France and England, just why are they allowing "Sharia controlled zones" to exist? That's absolutely insane, it's allowing these pockets of totalitarianism to exist in a free country. Imagine if the Nazis moved into England during WW2 and said "Well we're not going to take over all your country, just little parts of it" and Churchill said "Oh OK, that's fine" It's just the height of lunacy but that's EXACTLY what is happening!!

“I’d say they face a rising tide of Islamic Terrorism” - with all the atrocities, beheadings, rapes, lone wolf terrorism and all by Islamists - I believe a little Islamophobia is a smart thing.

[dfwgator]

Coming soon to the US. Why do you think the Muslims were so involved in the Ferguson protests? That’s what they want, “No Go” zones here in the US, will cops will not go, so they will be free to establish order there.

[ScottinVA]

Islamophobia?

How about .. especially after today .. they’re getting fed up??

[Steve_Seattle]

"France faces rising tide of (Islamophobia) Common Sense."

The libs need to feel superior to the rest of us even with guns pointed at their faces. They are just slack-jawed DUMB.

[Vaquero]

It’s not paranoia if there are actually people out to get you. So Islamiphobia would be, as it has been so dramatically proven today , a good thing for self preservation.

Lock and load.

I’m guessing the Muslims of France are about to experience some well-deserved Francophobia.

Any bets on retribution?
