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.

You know I’ve often wondered about this ban on any depiction of Mohammed. Is it because he’s satanic in origin?
why’d drudge take this off his site?
“The future must not belong to those who would slander the prophet of Islam”
Sounds like a rally cry for Muslim terrorists. Maybe they can use it the next time they slaughter people.
It was an open invitation from Obama to slaughter.
OK . . . There is only way to not “slander the prophet of Islam”
The person using the video would have been better off with a rifle. At that elevated range he could have easily wiped out the terrorist group.
Too bad they are unarmed in France!/S
He does not want to get killed?
He might balk at the notion of attracting the ire of a billion people, including the most powerful man on the planet.
And Islam murdered them and attacked freedom of speech today. The Muslim Obama at the white house is against freedom.
Here are just 2 of the cartoonists of the 12 murdered:
Anyone who gives the filthy disgusting subhuman savages a free pass is guilty of what they do.
the Koran is toilet paper and Muhammad the prophet of Islam married a 6 year old girl named Aisha
At the age of 53 Muhamad the prophet of Islam married a 6 year old girl named Aisha
There’s a video out there of Biden hitting on a 10 year old girl. Maybe he read the Koran
Is it slander if it is true?
Ayatollah Obamahommed
Obama is busy releasing terrorists. Every terrorist attack now belongs to the Democrat Party.
It’s ILLEGAL ALIENS LIKE OBAMA that really hurt the United States!
Do you think you will hear republicans in congress when interviewed by the MSM remind people of obama’s words, maybe on FNC...MAYBE.
everything correct except that france isn’t a capitalist system. it is solid socialist. they still have private businesses but the business rules and taxes and everything put them square in the socialist section.
Eff Oshiitehead in the oval office and his prophet he rode in on.
