12 dead in attack on Paris newspaper; France goes on alert

[Christie Paul]

Hollande had just finished making some overtures of lifting sanctions against Russia.

Wrong move my boy. That will lead to Islamic terror!

We'll tell you who to hate, when to hate and how to hate.

Got it.

[Canadaguy]

I couldn't agree more.

[canman]

This all is becoming a melting pot. First Canada, then Australia and now France.

The World has to unite against those terrorists for once and for all.

What about England have we forgot lee Rigby and there is other European country's which are having mass problems and do I dare say south Thailand and other country's from only a year ago and what about Africa

26/11 the Taj in Mumbai

I hate to say it but it is only a matter of time before a similar attack is carried out in a western country. If you can stomach the reality, search out what this scum did to those they had captured and tortured.

Time to close the borders!!

Who has entered already can stay if integrating!! If not, a one-way ticket to Mecca!!

This is the whole point, islam is a way of life not a religion, they don't want to integrate, it's their way or the highway.

According to history muslims have tried to conquer the world twice before, 7th century and 11th century but have failed both times. For me personally Allah, is exactly the same as Hitler, they both had the same goal, to rule the world, only time will tell if his wishes come true.

[Briggsy]

Don't know whether to laugh or cry, the main lead BBC article keeps the word Islam out of the article until the very end. What a joke. It goes out of its way to disassociate the attack with Islam in the casual reader's mind.

It has nothing to do with religion

It has EVERYTHING to do with religion.
It drives their actions and gives their sad lives some meaning.
It's their life. They live and breathe it.

How much more evidence do we need to stop the Islamification of Europe and recognise the inherent danger of Islamists in the west.

WAKE UP!!

And white liberal lefties fret and wring their hands at the success of brave patriots Pergida (insulted as 'IGNORANT massses' by apologists) in Germany. Pergida is just the beginning. It will spread

This has EVERYTHING to do with religion.

While I'm in no way defending these terrorist cowards I do find your comment somewhat ironic considering you're against the Islamic spread across Europe while your avatar is a picture relating to the crusades. Either you don't mind being a hypocrite or you don't know your history very well.

A lot of these sort of people head for Switzerland. But i don't think these ones will get here.

For a lot of you, you have no idea what this newpaper and its journalists meant to a lot of French people and the French speaking countries that lived beside France.

The round missed, hitting the sidewalk. If, as some news reports claim, it indeed had been a headshot from that range, it would have been a quite obvious. And yes, head shots often bleed a lot after post-mortem.

The claims that these guys moved like commandos, is nonsense. Nothing of the sort.

It sure looked like a head shot at point blank range. So if the shooter missed that would

be pretty embarrassing for them. Also the Live Leak story said he was killed. Is there

information he is still alive ? If he was trying to play dead he certainly would have done it

as the two guys were running up to him with guns, rather than after.......

When you invite the wolf onto your farm don't start complaining when it slaughters your chickens.

Religion is the root of so much evil on this planet.

Islam is not a religion. Its an ideology. religions assimilate, idiologies dont

Indeed Islam differs from all other religions in many ways and if it was a religion of peace how come so many kills innocent in the name of Allah? Soon we will see these attacks happening all over Europe this is just the beginning and with mass immigration there is plenty of nutjobs going around.

And naturally this attack, like thousands of others committed year in year out by people pleding to kill and be killed for Islam whilst screaming Allah au Akbar, has nothing to do with Islam............. Because Islam is a religion of piss........ I mean peace............

No it was an upper back shot

If it was a head shot at that range with an AK his head would have been all over

the sidewalk

If you watch the liveleak video you will see he turns slightly just as round was fired

Pretty much as your pic shows was his position at time of shot & you can see where barrel is pointed

Also if you watch that video after the shot you will see a fast growing pool of blood pouring out of the exit

wound under his left arm onto the sidewalk.

Looks like a version of reversed crusade and a backslash from the ignored burden that comes if one colonialise other (Arabic) countries. They fed the snake on their own breast for easily granting french citizenship to millions of Muslims, leaving them in ghetthoes of their suburbs to benefit from cheap labor. This will also have an impact in other European countries especially Germany with its new movement "Pegida", the Danish nationalists etc. etc. Who wonders if the average citizen in his cosy little village home is fed up with Muslims "invading" their country topping the crime rate, while living on welfare and constantly demanding more and special rights (treatment)?

Sick !

I agree with people saying this was not terrorism. I think this is war.

I wouldn't be surprised if the two are ISIS fighters who came back to France.

some possible actions coming to mind:

- send the foreign legion to help the Kurds against ISIS. The legion can do the fighting and the Kurds can control the liberated territory

- State-subsidise a new Charlie Hebdo with offices located within a secure location

Quite sure its those ISIS guys coming back. All countries are on higher alert because of this.

Savages, hope they get them.

Hope we are going to see big protests condemning this.

Protest will not DO anything.

Find out who sold them the bullets and start there.

Work backwards.

Follow the money. Always follow the money. The rest is just smoke.

They feel they are getting revenge and now we will want some and then they will want some more.

Soldiers don't issue orders they just follow them. Find out who is giving the orders and target them.

The only thing that needs apologizing for here is stupid thinking.

[peterb17]

The world would be a better place without any religion.

Here we are in the 21st century with people still believing in historic mumbo jumbo.

I will believe in god, any god,when he turns up to prove his case.

In my book religion is brainwashing of the masses.

" people still believing in historic mumbo jumbo."

Do you include Buddhism here in Thailand as being in this category?

There is no divine being in Buddhism, The Lord Buddha was a real historical figure. Thais follow his teachings- big difference .

Allah magically dictated the terrorists manual to his prophet.

I would agree about the brainwashing- if you have seen children in the Islamic schools rocking backwards and forwards learning the verses of the Koran by heart- no science, geography, maths etc for them.

Islam cannot tolerate any criticism - it would shown up as a pathway to death, destruction and poverty.

I beg to differ I don't know of any Christians from the west that are causing terror and killing people in the name of Jesus unless your talking about 800 years ago , in fact not one part of Jesus word mention or says it's ok to kill not one part of that new testaments

I usually consider the IRA a religious (catholic) motivated, foreign (US-Irish) sponsored terrorist organization (not so much anymore now but certainly less than the 800 years you mention). But usually, Christian extremism is so nicely rolled up into day-to-day racism that it's easier to label it with the latter (USA, Russia, some of Eastern Europe to be current examples).

I'm not going to read through 11 pages of predictable ThaiVisa reactions, but I'd wager that nobody mentioned or is even aware of the fact that on the same day, more than 3 times the amount of lives (37) were lost by a car bomb in Yemen, possibly from AQ. Is there a thread here on TV? Didn't see much about it in other news sources. Yemen? Not us, not like us, them, not worth the mention... day-to day racism when even 3 of them are worth less (in news) than one of "us".

Almost all of the victims of Islamic terror are muslims, and yet somehow that is all "their" fault, too? Ah, the bigotry of TV...
