Western media are declaring the million-man march in Paris, where world leaders paraded down Boulevard Voltaire in solidarity with France, a victory over terrorism.
Isn’t it pretty to think so.
Unfortunately, the massacre at Charlie Hebdo, its military-style execution, the escape of the assassins, and their blazing end in a shootout Friday was a triumph of terrorism not seen since 9/11.
Unlike the Boston Marathon bombing where the Tsarnaevs did not know or care whom they maimed or killed, the attack on Charlie Hebdo by the Kouachi brothers was purposeful and targeted terrorism.
And like a flash of lightning in the dark, it exposed the moral contradictions and confusion of the West.
During the slaughter the Kouachis shouted “Allahu akbar,” said they had “avenged the Prophet,” and spoke of ties to al-Qaida.
And the first response of President Francois Hollande?
These terrorists “have nothing to do with the Muslim religion.”
This is political correctness of a rare order. Perhaps terminal.

I wondered about this my own self. There is ample proof the jewish holocaust never happened and was just about money leeching.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know what purpose it serves to go around making fun of others religions.
I could care less about someone elses religion, just don't scram it down my throat.
The nature of things is to hide their own nature.
