Massive Rallies in Paris as the French (and all of Europe) come to realize how ridiculous is the situation they have created.
Do they have the guts to do what is needed? Namely, round up the Algerian minorities and send them back to Algeria? The answer is no. They have not been hit hard enough, yet.

More than 100,000 people gathered in cities around France as night fell to pay tribute to the 12 people gunned down in an attack against the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly on Wednesday.
In Paris tens of thousands more gathered at Republique square, not
far from where the attack took place, police said. Officials in cities such as Marseille, Toulouse and Lyon also reported thousands gathering in public spaces on the country's darkest day in decades.

Demonstrators wore black stickers marked "Je suis Charlie" (I am Charlie), a slogan aimed at showing solidarity with the victims of the deadliest attack in France in decades.
In a somber address to the nation, Hollande pledged to hunt down the killers and urged the country to come together after the tragedy.
"Let us unite, and we will win," he said. "Vive la France!"

Others waved banners with slogans such as "Press freedom has no price" and "Charb mort libre" (Charb died free), a reference to the newspaper's slain editor-in-chief Stephane Charbonnier.
Charbonnier was one of four cartoonists killed in the attack that also left 11 people injured.

"It's terrible that these people were murdered. In future, no-one will be able to speak his mind. We have to demonstrate in our thousands," said Beatrice Cano, a demonstrator in her fifties, who was carrying the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo.

Charlie Hebdo (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁli ɛbdo]; French for Weekly Charlie) is a satirical weekly newspaper in France that features cartoons, reports, polemics and jokes. Irreverent and stridently non-conformist in tone, the publication is strongly antireligious[25] and left-wing, publishing articles about the extreme right, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, politics and culture. The magazine was first published from 1969 to 1981. It folded, but was resurrected in 1992.[citation needed]
ReplyDeleteThe magazine, which has a history of attracting controversy, was unsuccessfully sued in 2006 by Islamic organizations for having published the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. The cover of a 2011 issue, dubbed "Charia Hebdo" (a pun on Sharia law), depicted a cartoon of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[26] The newspaper's office, at the time in the 20th arrondissement, was fire-bombed[27] and its website hacked.[citation needed] Religion was a primary target of the magazine, and two years before the attack, Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Stéphane "Charb" Charbonnier stated, "We have to carry on until Islam has been rendered as banal as Catholicism."
I think the response is fantastic and the Western world stands united in its support of freedom of the press.
ReplyDeleteEric Holder is interested in prosecuting General David Patreus for disclosing classified information to his mistress, a West Point graduate having security clearance with the General. This is nothing new for Holder. I happened to hit the "next blog" button a few times and came across this blog posting from October of 2009:

Osama's Friend List
Eric Holder's witch hunt against the dedicated and patriotic Americans in the CIA who have helped prevent another 9/11 type attack is an classic example of pure scorched-earth politics. Holder is obviously trying to make a name for himself and in the process destroying the lives of true patriots, and doing even more harm to those who might have been willing to protect America in the future. This fact is confirmed by the former intelligence officials from both parties who have signed a letter requesting an end to this dangerous and destructive political posturing.
Besides Mr. Holder, who benefits from these proceedings? Every potential terrorist on the planet with designs on harming the United States of America, the same U.S.A. that Mr. Holder allegedly swore to protect as Attorney General.
Our president has said that he does not support this process, yet he also says that he will not stop it. This tacit approval by President Obama gives a significant amount of aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States of America. This is either due to woeful ignorance or blatant disregard for the oath that he took.
Unfortunately, just as most Americans have forgotten the horrors of September 11, 2001. They have also forgotten the soft response to combating terrorism that led to those horrific events.
somebody better clue the Irish Republic onto the current trend,was over there this past summer and its almost like walking through 63rd and Halsted.shit bums every where begging money,cadging smokes petty theft"dont leave bags down or use the cell phone" and the newer generation of young irish kids all have a attitude with americans,last time ill ever go.
ReplyDeleteits a pity the French didnt show this unity when the Germans marched in and collaberated with them.

ReplyDeleteJust a matter of time until it starts happening here.
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON - In October, Illinois' senior U.S. Senator Dick Durbin called on the Obama Administration to accept 100,000 Syrian refugees - 77 percent of which are young men.
ReplyDeleteA Syrian passport was found Friday night on the dismembered body of a radical Islamic terrorist that blew himself as a suicide bomber outside Paris' soccer stadium, threatening the lives of thousands.
Officials report 129 were killed and 352 injured during Friday night's coordinated Islamic attack on Paris.
Durbin has not backed away from his statement in light of the Paris attack.
Ah the French, fight with their feet and F*c# with their face.
