Its most recent cover joked about author Michel Houellebecq’s new novel “Submission,” which speculates about a future in which France elects a Muslim president. Since its release, many have called “Submission” Islamophobic, though Houellebecq has said that “an alliance between Catholics and Muslims is possible,” and that “jihadists are bad Muslims.”
The shooters shouted “Allahu akbar” and “The prophet is avenged” while carrying out their attack. Terror analysts also noted that they made a one-finger hand gesture, signifying Islam’s emphasis of God’s oneness, that is often featured in propaganda videos of the Islamic State terror group.
In the videos, the men looked calm and poised, not firing any unnecessary shots, showing that they were well-trained for the attack.

Jihadis Massacre Writers and Cartoonists at a French Humor Magazine
"The French magazine Charlie Hebdo, targeted on Wednesday by Muslim gunmen, has a long history of mocking religions, including Islam."

So no "lone wolf" argument today. Bummer! Just the usual evergreen fake concern about massive savage backlash against Muslims. Which never happens.
And, yeah, the jihadis looked very "calm and poised" while shooting the unarmed guy on the ground. Profiles in courage.
One-finger hand gesture signifying "fuck you" to jihadis.
A truly stunning message from the Jihadis.
Marine LePen just got a giant step closer to being elected France's next Prime Minister.
I don't recall Christians and Jews ever gunning anyone down in my lifetime.
The news media seems to think they have.
(oh wait the left and Islam love to remind us all that there was once an abortion doc killer and that somehow represents all Christians and Jews throughout all of history)
F the left.
Haz posted this comment on Insty:
"Every Western newspaper and magazine should run a cartoon drawing of mohammad on their cover pages this week.
Religious fanatics DO NOT get to dictate the meaning of freedom of the press, be they islamists, Jews or Christians."
sigh..
It would be nice if that sort of collective courage existed.
Brian Williams in the background. So far not ONE mention of Islam. Radical or otherwise. Just "terrorism".
The "Islamic" is silent in Islamic terrorism.
Not fooling anybody, though. Even the deepest blue Obama lovin' citizen of the universe knows it's Islamic terrorism.
We should deal with Radical Muslims the way we dealt with Radical Japanese and Radical Germans.
Agreed, Evi.
Neville Chamberlin says.. er ...I mean - Howard Dean says:
"These terrorists are about as Islam as I am."
No death penalty in France. They'll come to regret that.
The executed policeman did not carry a weapon.
This is a Rotherham level of avoidance, as always. Has been that way for decades. Not, necessarily, due to fear of violence. But to a dearth of real thought and more importantly to further the leftist agenda. i.e. inclusiveness, diversity, acceptance of others no matter the occasional outbursts of anointed barbarians.
Essential point, to destroy Western Civilization.
I directly lay the blame for those twelve deaths today on the shoulders of media and academia.
They, combined, are much more dangerous to the civilized world than any particular deed some crazed Islamic nutter might dream up, up to and including use of an A bomb.
I notice the typical liberal reaction is to worry that about "Backlash" against the Moslems.
Even Insty, shortly resumes the amazon ads.
In the broader sense, I piss against the wind.
So, nevermind.
Xray -- I could be mistaken on this, but I think Insty has some things lined up (pre-programmed if you will) scheduled to show up on the blog.
Just sayin' it's a possibility.
MY comment posted elsewhere fits here:
My first reaction to this tragedy/disaster is the commentary I've heard and read about who did what when, etc...as if separation of group "names" is of some consequence. My experience, albeit long ago, is that insurgent terrorist are all joined at the hip and the various names assigned are to confuse and confound the westerners. They are ALL the same and joined at the hip, only the head and waving arms are distinct...otherwise they are exactly the same, and physically and psychologically related. Al Qaeda (with its multiple & sundry affiliation names), ISIS, Taliban, et al are ALL the same entity in reality. The "name thing" is only a reflection of who is competing for the top dog spot.
We in the west need, our leadership especially, to quickly learn just what non-state asymmetrical warfare really is all about. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, among the terrorist clans, applies press down and running over...why is this so hard to understand?
My "solutions" are untenable due to their violence (resource reduction per se by obliterating all areas who even think about supporting, even merely abiding, even under threats, the terrorists) however nothing else will work in the short run, meaning the next decade.
I have no hope we will get it and do something. It just isn't politically correct or acceptable, especially in the newer defined "liberal" (progressive) circles. We remain the consummate "good guys" and thus the targets of all the rest. When you bow down, you have just set the scene for your own be-heading. Our Constitution does NOT protect these radicals, so why do we keep insisting that it somehow does?
Aridog you goddamn retrograde fool.......Get with the program and accept our new Muslim Overlords.
The Borg loves you..
(BTW, what we are dealing with here is akin to matter and anti-matter; never the twain shall meet but when they do, watch out! l.e., Islam, in its entirety is TOTALLY incompatible with all aspects of Western Civilization.)
@Aridog/
Do you remember the original movie "War of the Worlds?" (1953, iirc) Remember the part where the Priest, in attempt to peacefully contact the Aliens, gets up out of the trenches and approaches the Alien craft in his robes, cross around his neck and arms out-stretched carrying the bible in a show of friendship and peace? And for his efforts? He got zapped by their death-ray and "disappeared." IMHO that's EXACTLY what the Muslim world is doing to all those apologists in the West who cravenly and foolishly seek to appease Islam--the "zapping" and disappearance of of Western Civilization.
Islam is on the march. Very few people from Western Civilization will do anything about it.
Perhaps it's the way it will be. Not now, or even 10 years from now, but sometime in the future Islam will be the only religion that's left.
Overheard on the internet a few years ago:
"Appeasement and accommodation never satisfies an aggressor. The more weakness you exhibit, the more appeasement they demand.
Eventually Islam will force us to fight or surrender. Then and only then will most Americans realize trying to pacify Muslims is a wasted effort and is futile."
The only way American leftwing journalists take this problem seriously is if the Islamic radials take out the following:
Cher, Madonna, Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, Brian Williams, the cast at MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell, Aflack, and Scott Pelly.
Then and only then will leftists wake up and take this problem seriously. Until then, it's all academic.
It’s all worthy of excuse making and down-playing.
In other words, if ivory tower narrative pushing progressives are not personally bothered, they will never understand.
April, those people you named will never even admit that there is a problem.
Nope never. Unless they are gunned down by the radicals.
btw - Where is the universal condemnation from the so called peaceful Islamic community?
*crickets*
Perhaps if radical Islam interrupted one of Hollywood's numerous self-congratulatory award ceremonies - then they would take the problems seriously. I'm sure of it.
Total cowards at CNN.
Terrorism works.
The left's excuse making is sickening.
"And it would be a bracing reminder that there are in fact two standards for two faiths and that that standard is derived purely from their members’ respective willingness to register their dissent by picking up AK-47s. Don’t let the media have its fig leaf."
The left will always make room for a "but". and it never ceases to be disgusting.
add Sally Kohn to my list above...
