DEAN: And I think you got to deal with these people. The interesting thing here, is we talked about guns the last time in regarding the United States, regarding how guns get in the hands of the kind of people that kill the two police officers here two weeks ago. France has tremendous gun control laws, and yet these people are able to get Kalashnikovs. So, this is really complicated stuff, and I think you have to treat these people as basically mass murderers. But I do not think we should accord them any particular religious respect, because I don't think, whatever they're claiming their motivation is, is clearly a twisted, cultish mind.http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2015/01/07/howard-dean-dont-call-paris-shooters-muslim-terrorists
The entire “religion” of Islam is one huge cult, retaining its members by either turning them into zealots, or destroying all aspects of freedom of thought by really harsh methods of enforcement.
Part of that enforcement included obtaining instruments of death, and using them with some kind of specious “authority” granted by a madman who was totally lacking in the least bit of human empathy.
In another era, it was swords, spears, and long knives, but as technology improved, it spread to the use of projectile weapons and chemical agents like poison gas of various kinds. Semi-automatic and fully automatic sidearms were the “gift from Allah” to expedite the dispatch of those with non-conforming opinions from this world.
Therefore, whether legal or not, great effort is expended to obtain these instruments of death, and to apply their use as widely as possible.
The lack of any organized resistance, armed with the means to repel or stop these rampaging bearded men with burning eyes, means the perpetrators of this violence can slice through the local population wile a hot knife through butter. The excessively harsh gun control laws of France assured there would be NO simple way to stop these berserk madmen short of confronting them with a military presence.
And the army is just not that easy or quick to deploy. A firearm snatched off the wall and aimed at the passing marauders becomes the first line of defense, especially if the local police are not allowed to carry arms.
Howard Dean and Bill Maher making absolute sense, and within days of each other, too.
