Still under shock from Friday night’s terror attacks, Paris may need a few more days to regain its signature mood of defiant dignity. Almost everyone had expected an attack but most still hoped it would never come. Now they are all asking why it did.
It happened because the Islamic State, the latest version of the Islamo-apocalypytic movement, has decided that Western democracies, representing the “Infidel” world, are no longer prepared to fight even to preserve their comfortable lives. The Paris attacks came on the first day of the Muslim lunar month of Safar, which coincides with the anniversary of Prophet Mohammed’s first successful “ghazva” (raid) against the “infidel” at Safwan in 623 AD.
Islamic State is already referring to the Paris attacks as another “ghazva,” promising many more. The aim is to terrorize all mankind into submitting to the diktats of The Only True Faith.
(snip)
Paris was attacked not because of what the French do, as some Blame-The-West intellectuals claim, but because of what the French are: infidels who refuse to see the light of Islam. The hope is that just as the Prophet forced the Arab tribes to accept Islam in exchange for protection, the “infidel” nations will also decide that it is in their best interest to submit.
Today, however, I see no sign the French tend toward submission. As always, the terrorists may end up like the man who, having won a great many tokens at the roulette table, is surprised when the casino tells him his winnings cannot be cashed.

What do you honestly think anyone is going to do about this.
I suggest a few strongly worded motions. Then nothing.
Needs to be revealed here on FR....it's why so many Islamists and Jihadists swarmed into Syria and ‘why’ Syria is Key.
Frankly they will not be deterred from fighting unto death in Syria....that is what they are there for....to bring in their Mahdi and Syria is more than just significant to them...and the leaders who are sending them such as Erdogan...who definitely operates with their false Islamo apocalyptic ideology and beliefs.
That will never be a go for Islamists.
There will be war.....this is all the prelude to that.
I don’t doubt that war is coming. I just doubt we will fight back.
We as a country may not but we individually can create havoc.
“What do you honestly think anyone is going to do about this.”
I would guess that France will have their aircraft carrier, the Charles DeGaulle, drop all their ordnance over Syria.
Perhaps they will provide some weaponry to those fighting ISIS - they are one of the world’s top weapons makers. They have a history of employing local forces to achieve objectives for them.
Their own Special Forces may want to get some as well - Good training opportunity.
Hollande said that their “pitiless” war would be both overseas and at home.
Top French national security officials are meeting today to decide on a set of measures. They need to do something for public consumption, but many of them are no doubt personally angered as well.
The French foreign policy establishment is more consistent across different Presidential administrations. There is an elite of experts who stay on for a career. They will have the big picture, and will look at shaping the mid/longer term, as well as addressing today’s problem. They will want an example that has deterrent value in the future.
The office of the French President is a more powerful office than that of the American President. When it comes to domestic policy, their President is capable of directing an extensive crackdown, and suspending all kinds of rights and protections.
The muslim minority is a key part of his (Hollande’s) political coalition though. Without muslim votes, he would not have been elected. Muslims are a minority of his votes though - he could lose more votes from Ethnic French than he gains from muslims, if he plays it wrong politically.
**Update**
Just heard on Fox that French bombs have fallen on Raqaa.
To Arms!
Form your Battalions!
March!
March!
Let their filthy blood soak the fields!
(adapted from the French national anthem)
Good for them. I am pleasantly surprised.

“The Japanese have the right idea regarding Muslims moving to Japan - it is not allowed.”
Hit 'em again.
Harder!
Harder!
And, until Western political leaders recognize the enemy for what it is, understand their strategy and act to effectively combat it, we are going to lose.
The government's primary responsibility is to provide security within the borders. The jihadis recognize this and are exploiting the weak wills of the West's political leaders.
Accordingly, a literal changing of the guard is necessary.
“Is Islam at war with us/the world?”
It is really Saudi Arabia, trying to covertly conquer the world, for their extreme version of Islam.
Of the four main Sunni schools of interpreting islam (fiqh), the Saudi Government adopted the smallest and most extreme - the Hanbali school. From this extreme approach, comes the Wahbbis, Salafists, Takfiris, ISIS, al Queda, Boko Haram, the Muslim Brotherhood - all the Sunni murderers plaguing the world today. Saudi Arabia is the source, the funder, and the safe haven of this scourge on humanity.
What makes the Hanbali school extreme?
1. They absolutely, explicitly reject the use of reason or judgement interpreting scripture. They adhere to a doctrine of Athari - only literal reading is allowed, either to determine law (sharia), or to theologically understand God and the divine law. Their view is that human reasoning and logic are wholly inadequate, and unreliable - more likely to error than not. They are the worst sort of closed-minded Fundamentalists.
2. They accept only text from the quran and the example/opinions (hadith) of the original group of muslims (muhammad and his companions). These were people totally dedicated to violent conquest and backstabbing each other for power - not cultivating their characters or perfecting their morality. No Old or New Testament is accepted, no scientific fact, and no philosophizing or moral analysis of any sort. They base everything on a fundamentally corrupt source.
3. They (arbitrarily) use a doctrine of pre-emption, where things that were said or done later, supersedes whatever came earlier - even if the earlier statements were pronounced by muhammad as direct revelation from God. God changed his mind several times apparently, but stopped doing so a few decades after muhammad’s death. This is a bad rule, because early in his career, muhammad lacked the power to force his will, and made many statements about tolerating others, or “there will be no compulsion in religion”, or such. All of that is contradicted by his increasingly brutal and totalitarian policies as he gained power - until he finally got to “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against all people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle”. The doctrine of pre-emption, coupled with the literal reading of only a limited set of documents, negates the option of tolerance and results in a requirement for world conquest.
If people are afraid of contesting islam on its merits, or believe that such an approach would not succeed, they could instead undermine or outlaw the Hanbali/Wahabbi/Salafi/Takfiri teachings, that preach terrible hate, oppression and incite endless war.
That is what has been recommended by folks like the King of Jordan, and the President of Egypt. It would require censoring the Saudi funded imams, mosques, media outlets, and activist organizations, as well as neutralizing their terrorist arms.
It was heavily edited. Did you avert your eyes before you noticed the pixilation?
Oh, I thought you didn’t have the original, was just offering one.
In a gun free zone.
Oh, gotcha, thanks. No, I think even with pixels it makes the point.
Then leave them alone in their sand. Let them eat their sand.
As graphic as it is, thaat is the picture everyone needs to see. Thanks for posting.
