British Prime Minister David Cameron, US Attorney General Eric Holder and French President Francois Hollande were among the leaders taking part.

The politicians stood arm in arm to lead the march, which was preceded by a declaration from Mr Hollande that 'today, Paris is the capital of the world'.

Giant letters attached to a statue in the Place de la République spelt out the word ‘Pourquoi?’ (‘Why?’) and small groups sang the national anthem.

As many as 1.5million people flooded Paris for the march today, while 600,000 rallied in towns and cities around France outside of the capital.

Other noted world leaders in the city included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko and Italian PM Matteo Renzi.

But what I need to see is Moderate Muslims...

You will never ever in a million lifetimes see that. That's sort of the point.

Fortunately there are a lot of golf courses that will still allow Obama and his disruptive crew to play,

and there are matters of critical importance to the U.S. such as the extradition of Roman Polansky,

so he has a good excuse and all for not showing up.

Nothing more then a Communist CYA event, as the Front National was intentionally excluded and these low life Socialists are the ones who are the enablers of the Jihadists by bringing them to France in the first place and prosecuting anyone who criticizes it in the second place.

Hollande is a joke and a nebbish, unwilling and unable to protect his country. Merkel is the idiot who said “immigrants are a gift” just a week ago.

They should call it the March of the Morons.

Or perhaps the March of the Guilty.

I agree with you. So lets stop trying to differentiate Radical from Moderate and admit that there are those Muslims that kill people and those who don’t have gumption to kill people. But they all believe the same thing.

Too little, too late. France surrendered to the worst of all national evils: political correctness.

There is still an opportunity to correct their mistake. We also have time to correct ours.

Start mass deportation of Muslims, and maybe it will mean something. Until then it’s all just for show.

Abu Mazzan (hope I spelled that right) was the second to the right of Merkel. Don’t know that Routers cropped the picture.

That isn't accurate. France basically said it was a fools errand to invade Iraq and it would create a Pandora's box. It was. And it created the testing grounds to export jihad throughout the world.

Are you saying what I said is not true?
Or are you saying France had good reasons not to go along with us?- tom
