12 dead in 'terrorist' attack at Paris paper

Paris (AFP) - Heavily armed gunmen shouting Islamist slogans stormed a Paris satirical newspaper office Wednesday and shot dead at least 12 people in the deadliest attack in France in four decades.
Police launched a massive manhunt for the masked attackers who reportedly hijacked a car and sped off, running over a pedestrian and shooting at officers.

Police said witnesses heard the attackers, who were armed with a Kalashnikov and rocket launcher, shout "we have avenged the prophet" and "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest).

Two police were confirmed among the dead and four people were critically injured.

The capital was placed under the highest alert status after the attack on Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly that has sparked anger in the past among Muslims for publishing cartoons of the prophet Mohamed.

Television footage showed large numbers of police in the area, bullet-riddled windows and people being carried away on stretchers.

Not the first Islamic led terrorist attack in Paris.
s
Seems discotheques were the favoured target in the 70s and 80s.

more like the Religion of P$$!

These monsters are not true Muslims. They're evil extremist animals. Its a shame good God fearing and loving people are stereotyped and associated with terrorist.

Anyone of any relgion can put on masks and shout islamist slogans.
Next thing you hear its an islamist terror attack. Lmao its fkin hilarious.

Just the same way i can mask myself and pretend to be black and kill white cops and shout racist remarks against whites. Next thing you hear black masked man kills white cop

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

Yeah, I can just imagine 3 men killing 12 people just to get Muslims a bad name.

Sure seems like it but I looked it up and there are actually many non Islamic /Muslim terrorist organizations. You know the other day at my work a teen boy threw eggs at a woman and her little girl because he thought they were Muslim. He called them rag heads and shouted other profanities his father did nothing when he found out what his son did. The family was actually from India.

yep they are!
Actually the only True Ones!

This morning, French journalists at Charlie Hebdo a satirical outlet renowned for its disgust with political correctness were working at their desks. Then three gunmen entered their office and murdered at least ten of them. Seven others were wounded. Two police officers were also shot dead.

Though many details are obviously still unclear, it seems near certain that this was a jihadist attack. According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen described themselves as members of al-Qaeda. Video footage shows one terrorist shouting the Takbir Allahu Akbar (God is great).

Unfortunately, Charlie Hebdo has long been an Islamic terrorist target. But not because of Iraq, or Afghanistan, or drones, or French foreign policy. But because Islamic extremism both Sunni and Shia is at war with human freedom.

Believing their notion of God's sovereignty is the unimpeachable source of existential purpose, Islamist extremists see Charlie Hebdo's satire as a mortal sin. Enabled by insipid sympathizers in the West (behold this pathetic eulogy for freedom following the 2011 firebombing of Charlie Hebdo's office), the fanatics have successfully cultivated the lie that some freedoms are more equal than others. Or, put another way, that their freedom is supreme while everyone else has the right to be a slave, or in the grave. In that sense, today's atrocity at Charlie Hebdo isn't just an attack against French society. It isn't just an attack against free society everywhere. It's an attack on our very souls as individuals our right to free thought and creative spirit our right not to be drones.

In the coming days, we must invigorate our commitment to freedom.

Nevertheless, France's (and its international partners) immediate challenge is to capture the suspects responsible. Having escaped the scene after brutally executing a wounded police officer on the street, French authorities rightly fear the attackers may strike again. Yet officials must also assume that other cells are also planning attacks. Correspondingly, France's eminently capable counterterrorism services are likely to launch raids across the country to break terrorist suspects they've been monitoring. We should also expect tightened security measures in the U.K., which has its own significant terror threats.

The simple, undeniable reality is that much of Western Europe faces a profound terrorist threat. As I've explained before, the rise of the Islamic State and terrorist tourism has catalyzed this crisis. Yet in France, as Andrew Hussey notes in The French Intifada, the challenge is accentuated by the painful reverberations of French colonialism. Indeed, with some eyewitnesses suggesting the Charlie Hebdo murderers spoke fluent French; this may well have been a homegrown plot.

Regardless, our perspective must not pass from the basic reality of what has occurred today. Innocent men and women were murdered for the content of their speech. Innocent police officers were murdered for attempting to save lives. There is no moral complexity to what has occurred. This is terrorism in the cause of ideological tyranny. And equivocation however veiled deserves no intellectual quarter in the civic debate that must now follow.

Every time one terrorist goes 'Bang!' The worlds a w****r short! I'd love to meet the Instructor? " Right lads, i'm only going to show you this once, ok? " How will they shag the virgins anyway, when as soon as they go 'Bang!' they become flying mince? F*****g arseholes!!

if you say so... they should quit playing around and just wipe them all out now...

12 dead, 11 wounded and out of the 11 there are some that aren't out of the woods yet, including a cold calculated killing of a police officer who had his hand up for mercy... I hope the French Police find the two brothers and show NO mercy when they arrest them, screw arresting them just give them a double tap.

This is the third or fourth attack on or in France. Why isn't our fearless Fuhrer speaking out? France was one of the FIRST to come to our aid after 9/11 and THIS newspaper that was attacked was one of them that published front page "We are all American's today".

This is the 3rd or 4th attack by Muzzies since 2012.

The religion of pedophiles and degradation towards women more like it. Starting with the pedophile Mohammed, may shame be upon him F'ing pervert!

Ummmmmmmm, they know who the suspects are. One turned himself in, two are still on the loose and one just got out of prison in the past couple years for terror related charges linked to Al Qaeda and both just got back from Syria from fighting WITH ISIS.

We have a fairly large Sikh community here and after 9/11 they were constantly thought to be Muslims because of how they dress and their headgear and hate crimes went through the roof against them. Their gas stations and hotels were destroyed and they were assaulted.

That's the problem with idiots who act irrationally and want to profile people. They are no better then the ****** terrorists we are fighting.

Domestic terrorist organization's don't count. They don't pull off this kind of crap on a regular basis. 95% of all the terrorist attacks since the 90's have been from the pedophile worshippers.

You know I got respect for you but that's the attitude Hitler had........... There are some good Muslims out there, even though they are sucked into a cult created by a pedophile.

yea, i've heard all that before... the only way to deal with bully types is to put some fear in them, which the way we are being towards them right now just makes them laugh at us... the liberals think they can win this the way they going, it will never work... bush had the right idea when he invaded Iraq, but they should have never stopped there...

I agree with that, but to exterminate them because they are Muslim? If they were credible evidence they were connected to a terrorist organization like all the ones we detained then yea, extract as much intel as you can, put one in the back of their head and toss them overboard like Osama.
