I was shocked and saddened by the news of these cowardly attacks on unarmed civilians and the police officer.
Papi_3city - France had it coming because of over tolerance? Feeling weird being white in Paris? Those are brave statements, which I can understand how some may find racist, but I don't. Nobody has this coming to them, nobody. As for feeling weird being a Caucasian in Paris, since when? I've been to Paris and I see it as a multi-cultural metropolis. It has been this way for centuries, and will remain so. I agree that the more recent influx of middle eastern and African Muslims into Europe has brought with them an undesirable element - extremists. So what is the solution, a final solution perhaps ala Adolph's Merry Henchmen, or perhaps something less drastic like reaching out to the moderates. Also would help not to bait them; just saying that if you kick a sleeping dog, don't be surprised if you get bit. The more they are antagonized, the more likely it is that some who would otherwise not care will join their cause. See ISIS.
Lastly, the old Polish Professor you quoted is an ignorant fool, and all those who prescribe to his/her way of thinking as well. I will say one name, Timothy McVeigh. Want more examples - use Google or visit your local library. Not every terrorist is a Muslim, that's just simple ignorance, and bigoted as well.
RvanSteensel - How many times have you fired an AK-47? How many people have you personally seen shot or have shot using an AK-47? If we ever meet, and either of us remember this thread, perhaps we should have a conversation about the effects of being shot. I've got some experience on the subject.
dconstrukt - WTF did the jews have to do with this cartoon? They didn't have anything to do with the cartoon, and didn't need to either. Perhaps you should read something/anything about the hatred that Islam has towards Jews/Israel. Islamist terrorists will kill Jews on sight whenever possible, period. No other reason is required.
