If Music Could Talk

Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and injuring seven in an apparent Islamist attack.

At least two masked attackers opened fire with assault rifles in the office and exchanged shots with police in the street outside before escaping by car.

The gunmen shouted "we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad", witnesses say.

President Francois Hollande said there was no doubt it had been a terrorist attack "of exceptional barbarity".

A major police operation is under way in the Paris area to catch the killers.

Fuck.

Don't expect that worthless fuck Hollande to do anything at all about it: http://www.businessinsider.com/muslims- ... ozy-2012-5

Muslims ≠ jihadists.

What do you mean?

I think we can all agree that killing innocent people is wrong under any circumstance.

Horrific.

A horrible attack. People who murder other people are, as a category, awful.

French media outlet Metronews reports that there's been a car explosion in front of a synagogue in Sarcelles, a city in Northern France. That's after an attack by three gunmen on the office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris just hours earlier.

Paris Metro reports that this event was an incident unrelated with the attack at the magazine, quoting the mayor of Sarcelles among its sources.

The car was parked in front of a synagogue, and reportedly exploded at about 2.30 p.m. local time (1.30 p.m. GMT).


Cops are now attributing this to "engine failure" but that could be a PR misdirect to smoke out the suspects, a fairly common tactic. The coincidence seems a bit too convenient.

Meanwhile, how bad is the situation on the street in France? http://www.jpost.com/Jewish-World/Jewis ... nce-352779

What would you propose Hollande do?

Resign.

Ah, the reality-based people who don't paint with a broad brush and who have the ability to understand complex situations without resorting to hateful stereotypes.

There, I fixed it for you.

So you're also saying the Jihadists aren't Muslims. OK.
