Charlie Hebdo massacre: how the West will respond
breitbart ^ | Jan. 7, 2015 | James Delingpole

Posted on 01/07/2015 6:31:03 AM PST by PROCON

The story so far: 12 people, including two policemen, have been murdered at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by two hooded men wielding AK47s. In 2011 the magazine was firebombed after running a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. Charlie Hebdo’s most recent tweet, before the latest attack, was a cartoon featuring the leader of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Here’s what will happen next.

1. French authorities will urge the public not to jump to any unhelpful conclusions about the identity and motivation of the killers.

2. Politicians, police chiefs and mainstream media reports will urge restraint over what is clearly an inexplicable rogue incident which may have nothing whatsoever to do with the Religion of Peace.

3. Extensive – and largely fruitless – efforts will be made to find Muslim community leaders prepared to speak out against the incident, in the unlikely event that it proves that the killers may have had Islamist sympathies.

Unfortunately, this assessment is probably correct.

The same script being repeated over and over again. The MSM know their talking points and they aren’t going to risk being shot or beheaded for daring to tell the truth about islam. There are those who thought that Salman Rushdie overreacted when he went into hiding many years ago, but as a muslim he knows the insanity of many of his fellow muslims. By all means conservative media need to keep speaking out but they also need to be prudent in the face of a real threat. I’d be installing some major security measures if I was running Fox News.

The backlash will arrive sooner than I thought. In the last year or so they kidnap and rape school girls, torture breasfeeding women, behead children for being Christian, behead a nice woman in Oklahoma, blow up a marathon, behead a soldier on the street in London, behead an elderly woman in London, etc,,,

The only answer is a hard put down of islam. This will happen, they are seriously overplaying their hand and believe nothing will ever happen.

I’m so done with rag heads. So. Done. It’s time to go nuclear. Send out early warnings to all governments. The scourge of humanity needs to come to an end. Once and for all.

Probably nothing since most if not all the brave souls that resisted the Nazi’s have passed on.

No, it won't happen. We have not a single political leader that will support this. Watch, France will do nothing and will soon be overrun.

Author left out demands for additional gun control as I’m sure every French citizen has an AK-47 laying around the house.

Rouge individuals with AK-47. Where’s the closes Cabela’s to Paris? Seriously, where does one get an AK in a country where citizens cannot have one under any circumstances? There isn’t a country that borders France that allows its citizens to own modern rifles. There’s an infrastructure behind what happened.

Pay attention to this detail too. No one around had weapons to stop these guys. They just walked around like the owned the street. “Only police need guns.” Well, the police was executed while begging for his life.

Statement from U.S. President Barack Obama

“I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine that reportedly killed 12 people.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time.

“France is America’s oldest ally, and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world.

“Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended. France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers.

“We are in touch with French officials and I have directed my Administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice.”

11. Blame the attacks on Tea Party incitement.

Breitbart left out a few steps:

11. The crime scene tape and the chalk will be expertly applied.

12. A thorough investigation will be undertaken.

The politician who comes out and says, “Now is the time to react against Islam where ever you see it. To arms citizens Form your battalions! Let impure blood Water our furrows!”
