A coordinated terrorist attack hit Paris Friday night, killing more than 120 people, injuring hundreds more — and sending shock waves of grief, fear and anger across France.
The attacks struck multiple sites across the city simultaneously — explosions outside the national stadium, a hostage situation in a crowded concert hall, a barrage of gunfire at multiple cafes and restaurants. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which French president Francois Hollande called "an act of war."
As Paris went into lockdown and French investigators sought the attackers, the French were not alone in their grief: around the world, cities and individuals expressed their sympathy and solidarity.
From Brazil to Iran, from Sweden to Ramallah, here are 33 images of the world reaction:

I get it. Grieve. Mourn. Hold vigils. Lament and wail. But when the tears are over, take up a sword and strike down the filth that did this. Chase them to the ends of the earth. Don’t let them draw one more easy breath or take one more step without looking over their shoulders. Let them start at every shadow and hear threats in every whisper of the wind. And when death finally comes to them, let it not be a merciful release, but a grim reminder of all the pain they’ve inflicted in their tortured, short, miserable lives.
death to ISIS
Meaningless.
We will find
Sooner or later
If Achmed’ll pray
To a glowing crater
“Meaningless.”
Yep.
ISIS is laughing their guts out.
“That’s their response?”
Kill ...them ...all.
Much larger.
And in the center of Mecca.
Where is that “Oh my God” animated gif.
Meanwhile, Obama imports huge mobs of Syrians and plays golf.
Looks like a bunch of typical, useless, pointless western symbolism.
Maybe we should all wear some lapel pins and tie some ribbons on trees too.
I agree. Enough of the hand wringing, wailing and gnashing of teeth. The Muslims kill because they know that West will do nothing. There is a time to kill and a time to refrain from killing. Now is the time to kill. Burn their mosques, drag them from their homes , shoot the military age males and deport the rest back to the shitholes they ran away from or Berlin, London or new York is next-—again. The people of this world have the right to love in safety and security without the fear of sudden, wanton violence and murder from Bronze Age barbarians. How much more can decent people endure?
If this was the first time that Muslims slaughtered dozens of people this solidarity might actually have some meaning. But since this is just one of many Muslim slaughters, and many more Muslim slaughters are to come and nothing more will be done, this is really meaningless.
Some burning korans with bacon would be more presentable. The burning of mosques would be even better.
After the LAST (and very recent) Islamofascist attack on France, the world grieved and cried and showed support.
What has France done to stop this threat?
Anything?
No. Instead, they are still following the leftist/socialist path of importing these deranged demons “because someone has to do the work to pay for the socialist state.”
If France would return to some of their Judeo-Christian values, dumped the socialists, and started taking care of themselves (rather than looking for someone else to), AND CALLED ISLAM THE EVIL THAT IS, perhaps this latest attack could have been averted.
And oh yea, THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE HAVE THE INALIENABLE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
It is NOT the USC that gives that right. It is common to the natural rights of man that each individual has the God-given right to defend himself or herself.
Another attack on a gun-free zone.
WAKE UP, WESTERN CIVILIZATION. YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK BY ENABLERS FROM WITHIN AND ENEMIES FROM WITHOUT.
