PARIS Prime Minister Manuel Valls declared Saturday that France was at war with radical Islam after the harrowing sieges that had led to the deaths of three gunmen and four hostages the day before, and as the authorities mounted a frantic hunt for a suspected accomplice.
It is a war against terrorism, against jihadism, against radical Islam, against everything that is aimed at breaking fraternity, freedom, solidarity, Mr. Valls said during a speech in Évry, south of Paris.

What “rally” are they “girding” for? I refuse to click to the Slimes page to read the article.

OH NOOOOOEZ
Holder don’t gonna likez dat..
It is time that the French Police and Military started to GO to the No Go Zones.
I just read that 700,000 are marching in France today, with a possible 1 million tomorrow. That has got to worry their countries’ leaders, so I am sure the leaders and media will try to deflect and misdirect some of the anger and energy.
With this “war” include deportations? No, didn’t think so.
Okay, now why is he saying today there is war on Radical Islam, when yesterday he refused to relent that it was “Islam” at all?? Does this French President have two personalities, one today and one yesterday? Someone must have changed his mind.
France declares war on militant Islam? Well, they better start at home since they allowed so many of the infidel to live within its borders. The French Revolution Part Deux!
It’s way past time for that
it’s about time that America declared war on radical Islam as well , starting with those here at home that always seek to make excuses for it and give cover for it .
Cry havoc let fly the dogs of war ; sharpen and make ready thy swords
Guess we’ll see how well the French can fight and how willing they are to see it through. They haven’t exactly acquitted themselves well over the last century.
Gonna use real guns, Frenchy, or rubber bands around your fingers?
Here is a hint: tell Eric Holder, who apparently went to Paris to “help” to go take a long walk on a short pier.
And begin to make good friends with the ONLY real world leader around right now. His name is Bibi. I think you’ve heard of him.
The Prime Minister may come to find that’s a MUCH LARGER number of Muslims than he ever realized.
France is in the unfortunate position of having Muslim former colonies, which defers French citizenship on those we would not traditionally think of as French. Some of the Muslim population is a result of immigration of “French” citizens from these countries and not necessarily a naive open door.
No, they won’t.
They’re French.
Oh, I agree. The French people have the reputation for being insanely liberal leftists, but many of them are not. They had a huge anti-”gay marriage” demonstration there a few weeks ago (unreported here, of course) and I have met many decent French people - even Parisians - who are horrified by what is going on and being tolerated there.
The only good thing about this Charlie Hebdo attack is that it may have changed the attitude of the press and even awakened non-conservative French to the peril they are in.
As for us??? Yawn. Back to sleep. Wait for a few more of us to die and then go back to sleep again.
And with a Muslim in the White House...what can you expect.
DeGaulle & Algeria — I think that’s how this mess got started.
