Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ

Posted by Soulskill on from the rest-in-peace dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A pair of gunmen have stormed the office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and wounding seven more. The magazine had recently published a cartoon of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and witnesses say the gunmen shouted, "we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad," before leaving. "Four of the magazine's well-known cartoonists, including its editor-in-chief Stephane Charbonnier were reported among those killed, as well as at least two police officers. Mr Charbonnier, 47, had received death threats in the past and was living under police protection." The attackers engaged police in a gunfire outside the building, then fled in a car. At the time of this writing, they are still at large. Currently, the BBC has the most information out of English news outlets. French speakers can consult the headline at Le Monde for more current news.

      I'll say it again, "buddy". If all the Muslims were terrorists, do you think you'd be able to live your comfortable, first-world life, where all you have to do to be scared read about attacks, but don't really suffer a real threat of attack? OR do you think with nearly 1 billion martyrs running around, that perhaps most everyday would be filled with terrorist attacks nearly everywhere.

    Never heard of the Islamic Golden Age have you? While European Christians were burning witches, the Middle East was too busy with science, art and math. Or did you think algebra, algorithms, and Arabic numerals were from Christian superiority in rational thought?
