Obama: “The future must not belong to those who would slander the prophet of Islam”

hebdo attack

Remember those words? Barack Obama uttered them in September of 2012 while he was apologizing for the video that his administration claimed was the cause of the Benghazi attacks.

Someone took those words to heart.

At least twelve people have been killed in an attack on the building in which reside the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo, which frequently publishes satire of Islam.

CBS News’ Elaine Cobbe reports that, according to witnesses, two armed and masked men walked into the headquarters of the Charlie Hebdo magazine and opened fire in the entrance hallway, killing people as they saw them.

They were after those behind the magazine:

Paris prosecutor’s spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre confirmed 12 people were killed. Among the dead were two men who went by the pen names: Charb — the editor and a cartoonist as well — and the cartoonist Cabu, Thibault-Lecuivre confirmed.

Two police officers were also among the dead, including one assigned as Charb’s bodyguard after prior death threats against him, a police official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.

Charlie Hebdo resisted past threats:

Charlie Hebdo’s office was firebombed in 2011 after publishing a cartoon depicting an image of the Prophet Muhammed. Any depiction of the prophet is forbidden by Islam.

Ignoring the attack and the threat of further violence, Charlie Hebdo published more Muhammad pictures the following year.

AFP reports that the gunmen shouted: “We have avenged the prophet.”

“The motive here is absolutely clear; trying to shut down a media organization that lampooned the Prophet Mohammad,” CBS News security consultant and former CIA deputy chief Mike Morell told “CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose. “What we have to figure out here is the perpetrators and whether they were self-radicalized or whether they were individuals who fought in Syria and Iraq and came back, or whether they were actually directed by ISIS or al Qaeda.”

Some think we're next:

Morrell added a warning that law enforcement and intelligence agencies would need to “worry about copycat attacks, not only in France but in the rest of the world, and I would even say in the broader world to include the United States.”

Here are the gunmen defending the prophet by executing a policeman as he begged for his life:

The White House was reluctant to call this terrorism at first.

The gunmen were armed with AK-47's, which is odd since military style weapons are outlawed in France.

A car bomb has reportedly gone off outside a synagogue near Paris. I bet those are illegal in France as well.

Capitalism = private business. As long as you have private ownership to some degree maybe 40% then you have capitalism. yes there is socialism but that's even more so here in the United states: look at the size of government here at all 3 levels state , federal local and the massive regulations , taxes etc . At all 3 levels. This was a private business. These guys just worked 9-5 hard just like anyone . This was not socialism at this company . LEARN. that is the difference private ownership, property rights. get it yet?

capitalism suceeds in spite of government regulations not because of them .

as long as you have private ownership of busineses you have the engine that drives the economy and that the parasites in the socialist part(the government) can leech off of.

A "spontaneous protest" caused by a "despicable video magazine". There is no connection to islam.

Islam hates freedom

Islam attacked freedom of speech today

This is why socialists/democrats love Islam because Islam is against freedom.

Islam IS a hateful ideology and agenda in all ways....It’s not about freedom...it’s about Islamic rule of law via Shariah. They don’t care about our freedoms...they live under their rule of law in all aspects of their life....and that is their goal for our nation and others. Period.

Look at Iraq and all other nations they claim for Islam....they will eventually shed blood and war to impliment Sharaih Law....and that is their agenda. The Islamification of all country’s they are in.

Indidivdual freedoms’ of host countries is not what their agenda is wired for....it’s implementing their law.

“Moderate Muslims” must come to the forefront of worldwide news coverage and condemn these animals, even more strongly than Egypt’s leader. And they must start killing them. Until that happens, and countries like Egypt start to wipe out the extremist animals, the world will just have to contend with more uncivilized barbarism like this.

We have all read the history books about the barbarism of the Middle Ages. What will they write about this period, 400 years from now? And who will have turned things around for the better of civilized society?

Barrack Hussein Obama has never publicly said that he is not a Muslim. That would amount to apostasy (sp?) which is punishable by death under the Koran. He has obliquely referred to his “Christian religion”, but has never, not ever, said he is not a Muslim. That tells you what he really believes, in my opinion. I challenge any member of the mainstream media or press to pose this question to him. “Will you right now tell the American people that you are not a Muslim?”

france like much of europe, is socialist. whatever trappings they have that are capitalist are pretty much that. they exist to support the welfare state. their “work week” and inability to fire people and pay perpetual unemployment bennies, state mandated vacation laws and such, they’re socialist.

they are socialist sucking the money out of the fewer and fewer producers in their society, producing despite what the socialist state is doing to them.
