French President Francois Hollande urged his nation to remain united and alert. Calling the grocery attack "a terrifying anti-Semitic act," he said the terrorists were "fanatics who have nothing to do with the Islamic religion."

What do you suppose they’re fanatic about?

Good question, one that requires some deep thinking.

Two events - massacre/hostage crisis at a controversial magazine, massacre/hostage crisis at a kosher market. At first blush, you would think the perps hate Jews and people who insult the prophet Muhammad, but that can't be right, because Islamic Jihaddists believe that and these were people who "had nothing to do with Islamic religion".

There were reports that they shouted "alluhu akhbar" while they were murdering their victims but that can't be true, 'cause then they would be mistaken for muslims and who would want to be lumped into a group that they had nothing to do with?

No, this had to be an enormous coincidence. The perps must have picked these places for some other reason, because why kill and die for a cause that you don't believe in?

I don't believe there's any other religion that tells its adherents that it's perfectly fine to kill people of other faiths...or kill agnostics. But if there were another religion that had those things in its holy book, who among us would tolerate them killing people like Muslims do? Nobody.

I'm a Christian, but if a group of Christians went around murdering people of other faiths or agnostics, I'd condemn them quite readily and look forward to their executions. Where are the average Muslims condemning all the violence?

This is obviously a Hollande daze.

I understand the reluctance. Imagine you're Joe Blow in New York City. A journalist asks you to condemn a Mafia kingpin responsible for rubbing out dozens of people. He wants to print your name, so readers will know that this is not some figment of his imagination. The typical response is likely to be "No comment."

Excellent answer!! Still laughing. Deep thinking indeed. You could probably be a TV reporter or something!

Too bad the numb nut at the bottom hadn’t pulled the trigger on that AK a second sooner. He is pointing it directly at the other son of Islam.

The left loves to control public thought by manipulating us with words and meanings. For instance, a Muslim terrorist is called a fanatic, an Islamic fanatic, a religious fanatic, and then the left will do the do the bait and switch, and call someone a religious fanatic who is a Christian fanatic. The left has made all fanatics the same, equal, only they aren’t, not even close. What one’s fanaticism makes them is completely relevant to what they are fanatical about, and how they choose to express that fanaticism.

A fanatical Muslim and a fanatical Christian are very likely to be completely different in what they believe, how they express their beliefs, and what they become because of their beliefs. One, the Christian, can be a very good and decent person, doing no harm to anyone. What the Christian can’t be, and be truly fanatical about following Christ, is a terrorist, a violent person or a militant person. A Muslim is under no such constraints. A good Muslim can slip into your house at night, slit your throat, rape your wife and daughter before torturing them to death, and leave your house a good Muslim. That is the nature of Islam, and why throwing the word fanatic around is meaningless.

All Muslims are inherently terrorists whether or not they demonstrate it. Islam is terrorism, and nothing in the history of Islam’s drive to conquer the world proves different.

“French President Francois Hollande urged his nation to remain united and alert”

More BS from the bed-wetting Nazi propagandists at AP.

Hollande, during the manhunt, got on TV and urged the French to “respect diversity.”
