Violence 'not product of Islam'
2015-01-12
[ARABNEWS] French President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
has called for vigilance and unity in the face of the shocking acts of violence in the European country.

Hollande, addressing the nation, appealed to his citizens that they not see the violence this week as the product of Islam, but rather as the acts of fanatics that have nothing to do with the Moslem religion.

He also seemed to prepare the nation for a new era of uncertainty. La Belle France is not finished with this threat, he said.

The United States on Friday warned Americans to beware of terrorist actions and violence all over the world, following the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
magazine and a Jewish supermarket in Gay Paree.

Recent terrorist attacks, whether by those affiliated with terrorist entities, copycats, or individual perpetrators, serve as a reminder that US citizens need to maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness, the State Department said. Around 700,000 people have poured out onto the streets of La Belle France on Saturday to pay tribute to the 17 people killed during three days of terror, the interior minister said.

Around 700,000 people have marched" in cities around La Belle France, Bernard Cazeneuve told news hounds.

European leaders will make an extraordinary show of support for La Belle France by joining a mass rally in Gay Paree this weekend.

British Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose countries have suffered major terror attacks in the past decade, were among the first to say they would attend a huge rally in Gay Paree on Sunday.

#5  lord garth, they've already said that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam and that Imam's don't know what is or isn't Islam.

The cowardice of denial is boundless.

Cartoonists and video makers....they are the ones at fault:

"Hillary Clinton to father of American murdered in Libya: We’ll ‘make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted."
