Ironically, there was an article in yesterday's paper about the former French Foreign Minister meeting with the leaders of Al Nusra Front (Al Qaeda in Syria) and guerrilla forces in Syria. They recently received TOW anti-tank missiles from the US as well.
It looks like an inside job. The offending material was published on the web only minutes before the attack. The gunmen were well equipped and organized. It's not something you would put together in a few minutes.
We will soon be reading of condemnation of these attacks from all corners of the Islamic faith, leaders of Middle Eastern countries, religious leaders all over the world, CAIR, etc.
Not.
Actually, tons of Islamic leaders have come forward expressing disgust over these criminal acts. Islam really is a religion of peace, the extremists mis-interpret a few parts of it and basically cease to be Muslims in the true sense.
It's like saying Westbero Baptist church is a accurate representation of what it means to be christian.
It's like the great bumper sticker: "When Jesus said love thy neighbor, I'm pretty sure he meant don't kill them".
Yeah, because Christians are behind so many terrorist attacks, beheadings, and stonings these days.
Yeah Christianity (more specifically it's extremists) has evolved a ton comparatively speaking, but it's past is riddled with murder, rape, torture, you name it.
Atheists aren't any better in the extreme either, just look at what Stalin and co. did not too long ago. Some humans are evil, plain n' simple.
What I found interesting while listening to the report on this today is that many French cops "choose" not to carry a firearm.
Given the current terrorist rise, the attacks over the last couple of years (from lone wolf to mass attacks) I don't understand the logic behind a cop going unarmed into the unknown on a daily basis.
