More like a targeted assassination to me. more would have died if it was a massacre..

 

In that case... do the 3 suspects match the profile of a trained assassin? Have to read about the older bros. They were already radicalised apparently.

 

But the 18yr old surrendered when he heard his name connected through social media.

 

 

An 18-year-old who was considered one of three suspects in the shooting at Charlie Hebdo magazine offices has turned himself in to police, a source close to the case told the AFP news agency. Hamyd Mourad was implicated alongside two brothers in the attack. Mourad turned himself in late Wednesday night after seeing his name mentioned on social media,

I don't know.. like I said before, the things happening now doesn't reflect the habits of previous terrorists attacks..

 

this 18yo surrender himself is one good example.. never had I seen any terrorist surrender himself so quickly. or even voluntarily surrender himself for that matter.

have......during 7/11. One of the suspected hijackers was actually thousands of miles away at home when he saw his face plastered on international tv. He surrendered to the police but no news media picked up on this.

I thought that one turned out to be a mistake in the identity?

There is a difference between freedom of speech and provocation... regardless, the attack is not justified at all.

Maybe the innocent majority whose religious beliefs have been hijacked by these barbarians can consider really stepping out and make a much stronger stand against such acts of violence / killing, if it helps to deter such senseless destructions of otherwise peaceful life in the land?

 

 

I've often heard outraged people in the US express these very sentiments online ever since 9/11. But the fact is: it doesn't really work that way. For one thing, there already *are* moderate Muslims who very eloquently express their disapproval of terrorist acts done in the name of their faith (or any other). For another, the real majority - the White Christian majority - don't hold themselves to the same standard. For example, when a White supremacist terrorist went on a killing rampage in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin (yes, he apparently knew they were Sikhs and not Muslims), I don't recall there being *any* call for the "majority" of Whites in the US to come out and strongly denounce this act. Nor did any such mass abjuration actually occur spontaneously.

I have one question to the 3 terrorists :

What would their Prophet do if he was here ?

"Chiong" (faked, 冒牌) believers??.... basically hijackers of their "chosen" religion to suit their own barbaric actions??

This is rubbish. Nobody who exercises the right to free speech and expression in a secular country that explicitly grants those rights "deserves" this. [rolleyes]

 

It's time we stopped treating religions (*any* religion) with kid gloves. Look around you and see how far we have come. Is it religion that did all that? No, it's science. It's secularism. Secularism is the bane of, and the antidote to, fundamentalism.

 

I'm not one of those militant atheists who deny that religion has *any* role to play in modern society. I accept that many people find solace and succour in going through the rituals. Furthermore, while secular humanism a la David Hume has allowed us to codify a set of societal ethics without needing to resort to religion, I cannot deny that many of those ethical principles are ultimately rooted (historically) in the teachings of organised religion.

 

However, it's time that people faced facts: our world wouldn't be where it is today without secularism and science. Our children can expect to live longer, grow up in relative freedom and marry pretty much whom they choose because secular thought has essentially defeated the stranglehold that organised religion once had on many major societies. Make no mistake: if most of us were still living in rigid theocracies, the world would be a *very* different place right now.

 

Even mainstream Christianity, which is often held up (by some mainstream Christian pundits almost unbearable in their smugness) as a paragon of moderation went through many bloody centuries with numerous atrocities being committed in its name. The point is that some variants of Islam are going through this upheaval right now. I believe (or at least sincerely hope) that they will ride it out and let secularism dilute the aggressive fundamentalist fervour that gives the religion a bad name. I always remind myself that Islam did go through a golden age when mathematics and science and *secular thought* were allowed to flourish in ways that put even the European Renaissance to shame. I hope they go back to that because the world will be the richer for it.

I'm looking at all the mass gatherings and showings of solidarity around the world in protest of this attack.

 

All i'm thinking is terrorists would have a field day with that many people in one location.

Valid point but no doubt security would have been heightened..

 

The precise aim of terrorists is to strike fear into ordinary citizens into being paranoid about anything, everything, everyday hence the name. The more we fear, the more they suceed.

A gunman has killed a policewoman in Paris, a day after suspected Islamists killed 12 people at the office of a satirical magazine.

A second person was seriously injured in the attack in the southern suburb of Montrouge, after which the gunman fled.

 

It is unclear of the incident is related to the Charlie Hebdo massacre, which traumatised France.

in a perfect world, i agree...

 

but based on what is happening around the world especially with all the recent terrorist attacks, including the one at sydney.... and with the constant threats against them...

 

they decided to post a cartoon with this caption

 

Last drawing by Charb (killed at Charlie) "Still no attack in France. Wait! We can send best wishes till end of Jan"

this is a in your face challenge... a challenge that was met and sadly got some innocents involved..

so i stand by my view, the cartoonists deserved it, rubbish or not.

Satan condems any act of violence carried out in his name.

 

However I don't know of any terrorists act carried out in the name of Satan.

 

Its always the other religions so they will need to speak up if they think

 

these acts of terrorism is not inline with their beliefs. Sadly the opposite

 

is happening, some people are quietly happy and others are signing up

 

and flying to the middle east to support their brothers and sisters in arms.

 

:D
