Have the Charlie Hebdo terrorists won?

We can't blame the journalists, however. Who is supposed to protect the citizen? The government. We need better security by more efficient immigration programs and more investment into the police/armed forces, blah blah blah, you know the drill. I just don't think the men at the media should be blamed for protecting their families and themselves.

I'm not sure why non-Muslims are so keen on trying to piss Muslims off Have westerners ever considered that they invite people to hate them?

As I said to you in the other thread, you would be pissed off whether we tried or not. It's in your nature. It's what makes us dislike you

Anyway, if you hate the west so much, what are you doing here?

If you didn't try to piss us off, I'm fairly certain we wouldn't be pissed off with you - I think that's the general law of human nature, you know, to get annoyed at things that are purposefully done to annoy you.

I'm here because my country was destroyed by the empire and so I've had to stay here to suck this place for what it's worth

I believe whatever country you may be from, there are still people living there. So you know, bye

Unless of course you don't like that IS **** either, do you?

As I said, I'm claiming from this system my inheritance

No they haven't won. As far as I can see there haven't been general anti-Muslim reprisals and the response has been solidarity between Muslims and white Europeans against terrorism. The second they shot that Ahmed chap in cold blood it was over on that score.

The French political conversation may be pretty racist and unforgiving on the multiculturalism front but at the end of the day the silent majority is shamelessly stout about national unity in the face of anti-Muslim rabble-rousing as much as Islamist terrorism.



Lol, the Western media Marxist? What have you been smoking.



Yeah that's something to celebrate isn't it, very grown up of you...

If you respond like it's a war the terrorists have won. They're criminals and nothing more and should be apprehended and/or shot without making a big song and dance about it.

tell me you master gun slinger, how do you apprehend someone who is shooting at you and is hell bent on killing you?

The liberal coward style wont work there

Their aim, or at least a primary aim, was to scare journalists into refraining from publishing images of Muhammad, or indeed blasphemous content. It was a case of: "see what happens if you publish this stuff".

Not one mainstream British publication published the images (overtly) in solidarity with Charlie Hebdo. The Guardian admitted that it does not want to publish the images full stop.

And I bet journalists will now be even more cautious about publishing such images in future.

I appreciate that people don't want to put their lives at risk, but it is a huge shame that it's possible that the terrorists' goal was achieved. Had all publications published the images, fanatics would not have enough resources to target each publisher.

As I said, shot without making a big song and dance about it. This is not a war. Flag-waving and bravado do not bravery make.

could it go both ways? not making a big deal about the fact the terrorists shot and killed 12 people. i mean its the same thing right?

who cares if 12 people or more got killed..........we shouldnt make a big song and dance about it
