After radical jihadists murdered their way through Paris in a three-day rampage that left 17 dead, France has declared its own war on terror.
Appearing on Saturday in Evry, a town just south of Paris, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the country is at war against radical Islam.
“We are at war — not a war against a religion, not a war against a civilization, but to defend our values, which are universal,” he proclaimed.
“It is a war against terrorism, against jihadism, against radical Islam, against everything that is aimed at breaking fraternity, freedom, solidarity,” Valls continued.
“We cannot let pass a single one of these messages, or a single one of these acts. Our indignation must be clear, total and last longer than three days. It must be permanent.
“We need standards, values and authority. There must be a firm message about the values of the republic and secularism.
“Journalists were killed because they defended freedom. Policemen were killed because they were protecting you,” he said, and “Jews were killed because they were Jewish.”
Valls’ statements evoked similar language used by President George W. Bush after 9/11. But 14 years later, U.S. Attorney General refused to say as much when asked whether we too are at war with radical Islam.
Noting what French prime minister declared on Saturday, both NBC’s host Chuck Todd and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Holder if he would say the same.
“I would say that we are at war with terrorists who commit these heinous acts and who use Islam,” he responded on “Meet the Press.” “They use a corrupted version of Islam to justify their actions. We are bound and determined to hold them accountable, to find them wherever they are, and then to try, as you indicated, to come up with ways in which we prevent young people who become attracted to this radical ideology from becoming members of these groups and perpetrating these heinous acts.”
And to the same exact question posed by Stephanopoulos, he answered:
“Well, I certainly think that we are at war with those who would commit terrorist attacks and who would corrupt the Islamic faith in the way that they do to try to justify their terrorist actions. So that’s who we are at war with, and we are determined to take the fight to them to prevent them from engaging these kinds of activities.”
The short answer, then, is no.
Radical Islam...
Islam at its core is radical.
I thought that this guy resigned what is he doing in Paris?
holder’s boss loves the jihadis too much to join in anything that annoys them.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Too bad they/we are not also declaring war on Multiculturalism, diversity and the destruction of the West. But then again saving the West is not the goal.
“Hollande committed the French army to destroy ISIS and its nest. Obama certainly won’t do it.”.
How ironic, the French standing tall and odumbo crawling down a hole once again.

Wake me when they start deporting every Muslim immigrant who commits any crime, every cleric who preaches jihad, and every immigrant who even sets foot in a radical mosque.
odd Westbrook ... just clicked link at your post and found link working. Please, try again, please.
Thank You for viewing the video. Am not producer of video nor do I believe is LucyT. The video has over 15 million views. If islam can make that video go away, islam will.
How does he justify, or expect to be taken seriously, when he has classified Obama’s political enemies as “terrorists.”
So be it. Islam must be stopped!
Absolutely! So many cannot understand why Obunga nor any of his henchmen attended the anti-terrorism march in Paris on Sunday.
What mystery? Obunga’s a muslim. Why would he root against his own team?!
No surprise there.
I am convinced that ultimately, the truth will come out.
Let us keep pressing!
Clicked on the link it worked and will consider the video as marching orders I will go out find a woman marry her and try to have minimal 3 kids with her.
Thanks, no-to-illegals.
I found the video link in comments section on FR.
yes, LucyT ... may none of We ‘the People’ never head to Holly’swood(s). Think into the woods maybe is always a safe bet, should the time come.
Below is an example of Western Taqiya:
“They use a corrupted version of Islam to justify their actions.....”
And to the same exact question posed by Stephanopoulos, he answered:
“Well, I certainly think that we are at war with those who would commit terrorist attacks and who would corrupt the Islamic faith in the way that they do to try to justify their terrorist actions....”
They keep pontificating about how radical Islamists are “corrupting Islam,” as if it’s any of their concern whether or not they are practicing ‘true Islam’ or had any authoritative knowledge of what Islamic doctrine is. Why? To give the average Yusef Muslim an out. He cannot tell his neighbors and Imam that he doesn’t give a s@#$ for the whole thing, and he just wants to bring home a pay check and let the other idiots go try for the 72 sexual novices. So he says that he doesn’t have to defend the death cult he was born into, because the Westerners aren’t going after ‘true Islam,’ just ‘corrupted Islam’. It won’t work in the long run, but it will make it possible for the West to damage the death cult’s infrastructure materially before they twig it that the West is really making war on all of Islam, especially ‘true Islam,’ i.e., the death cult.
