It's getting beyond ridiculous now. Definite condolences to them.

Barbaric. But I'm no longer surprised by such senseless acts. From what I read and seen, it was premeditated and the gunmen were trained and accustomed to killing.

 

[Breogan]

For publishing this.

LOL nude....

Spoiler

These guys were looking for attention and a reaction, and they got it.
Although I agree with their right to publish, even if belligerent stupid garbage^, and would defend that right.
Sometimes boundaries need to be pushed, if nothing else to assay freedoms worth.

Such a cowardly & barbarous attack. Condolences & prayers for all the victims.

12 dead, 2 being cops and 3 were among the most famous satiric and humorist artists.
Charlie Hebdo was threatened previously when caricatures of the prophet were released.
Apparently one of the terrorist shouted "the prophet is now avenged" when fleeing the scene.

It's sad that I'm not even surprised by this **** anymore. My deepest condolences to the victims and my sincerest hatred for anyone who condones this act.

 

[Gee]

Wow, this is terrible.

Mes condoléances aux victimes.

It's horrible...but it's nothing new. Humanity has always been this way...before we had guns we were killing helpless people with swords or beating them with rocks. Better weaponry has just made us more effective at doing what we have always done.

 

[Naked Shia]

It was definitely premeditated, since they already attacked them before.

 

[HaplessHenchman]

I don't even know what those pictures above say but I hope that paper does not stop the satire of "The Prophet". If they do, then these crazy Mofos have won.

 

[Naked Shia]

they didn't stop when they were first threatened. but it's different now.

If it was America cartoonist would be too afraid to offend the muslims to begin with. France shouldn't be shocked by this...when you mock the warmonger religious icon of a very intolerant religious group of racists, sexists people then obviously things are going to happen.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, some were making comparisons to the whole thing with Sony and The Interview. Don't know if they ever poked fun at killing them per se, but some of these guys just don't tolerate being spoofed at all, period.

 

[Galactus123]

This is sad. The terrorists are still running away apparently.

 

[Schlosser85]

Running away is all terrorists do.

 

[Apollo]

My condolences to the victims and their families. I hope they find rest and comfort in this terrible time.

So many things wrong with this post... it's almost a satire in itself of the inaccuracies but your posts show a history of taking the worst assumptions and stereotypes so it isn't a surprise.

These attacks were carried out by terrorists, not Muslims. There is a difference even if you can't see the difference.

Everyone else can go on and act not surprised but I am surprised by this that it would actually happen so boldly and openly. Maybe I'm not as cynical as the rest of you afterall.

Are you really? The attacks in Ottawa, Montreal, London (2013), Queens, were all bold and open in broad daylight. And that's not including the attacks that happen almost daily in the Middle East. Face it, this isn't surprising anymore. It's disgusting and horrid and I hope these militants are blown to shreads, but their attacks are becoming less shocking and more typical.

And that's why ISIS needs to be eradicated and the Muslim communities around the world need to speak up and speak loudly. Strength in numbers.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Violence never makes sense to me

 

[bullets]

Just horrible. We can't let these terrorists win.

Not to mention homegrown radicalized terrorism, either self-radicalized or indoctrinated overseas in Syria and Iraq, isn't new to France, and an increasingly unintegrated, disenfranchised Muslim community, the highest in Europe, only adds to the rising tensions.

Looking at the spate of incidences that happened in December just a month back, you can see this sort of violence escalating in France.

 

[PacificBoy]

Brilliantly poignant.

 

[chamber-music]

Cowards.

Murdering people over a cartoon.

I know people hold religion as sacred but it isn't something you should murder people over just because it is satirized.

 

[kane9321]

over a cartoon...

 

[matrix_ghost]

These terrorists aren't muslims. They are murders killing people in the name of islam. In sure many have seeb the footage of them brutally killing the policeman on the news. Well just read the bews and his name was " ahmed". Seeing how these guys had expert military training i wouldnt be surprised if they are jihadi fighters who fought in syria and iraq. Its a growing threat many ( european) countries are facing with these idiots returning completely with their ****ed up minds.
