Iconic landmarks around the world were lit up in blue, white and red in a show of unity for the 129 innocent people killed in the Paris attacks. From Shanghai to San Francisco, some of the best-known buildings were lit in the colours of the French tricolour last night. Tower Bridge in London, Sydney Opera House, the 408ft spire of One World Trade Center in New York, the Empire State Building, San Francisco's City Hall, the CN Tower in Toronto and even the High Roller Ferris wheel on the Las Vegas Strip were all bathed in bold blues, whites and reds as an eloquent expression of fraternite' with the French capital.

We will fight back with solidarity marches, candlelight vigils and symbolic acts of sympathy...

Don't forget the power of #hashtags.

Public desecration of the Islamists’ bodies would be far more effective than lighting up buildings. Burying their bodies/parts with pig carcasses, etc.

That is, if saving more innocent lives really is the goal.

Wouldn’t it be better to “light up” the terrorists?

I’ve got a better idea - instead of lighting up iconic buildings, let’s light up Islamic capitols with nuclear fire. That’s a message that the survivors will understand.

I hear that elementary school children are writing letters to ISIS asking them to “stop being bad and hurting people”.

Actually that’s the US State Department you’re referring to.

White House should have gone Red, White and Blue! Trump should have Trump Tower done in the Tri-Color! So too the Statue of Liberty!

I agree with you. By yellow, I was referring to the color of cowardice.

"More rainbows and unicorns in the face of evil."

And those ridiculous CoExist bumper stickers. The last car I saw with one still had their Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker. Haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

Well that should put the fear of God in those jihadists. Colored lights. God help us.

These same idiots are going to respond to sharia by posting sad faced selfies in their vails.

It is a time for womanly sentiments to be done away with. The world is not a nursery school.
