Steve alluded to this incident when he made fun of unarmed French police fleeing the scene after encountering armed terrorists, but there’s much more to it… Turns out that the armed terrorists were attacking the Paris offices of satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo”, whose staff, in the face of increasing Islamization of France in general and the Paris Banlieues (ghettos) in particular, made merciless fun of Mohammed and Islam, such as this 2011 cover art!

In the end, 12 staff of the Weekly magazine were killed by attackers using machine guns and a rocket launcher, who fled yelling “The Prophet is avenged” and “Allahu Akbar”. Hmmm – what could be the motivation?

Hebdo-AlBagDaddyTo Frenchmen as brave as these, I can only say “I salute you!” – not something you’ll hear very often around here. When the Danish Press hid under their desks, the writers at Charlie Hebdo doubled down – threats from Islamic terrorists? ‘Plus de ridicule’ came the reply, and their latest tweet, or should that be tweak, was denigrating Al-Bag-Daddy of the Islamic State.

Stephane-Charbonnier Editor Stephane ‘Charb’ Charbonnier was fearless, saying “I’d prefer to die standing than live on my knees”, and in 2012, when death threats were made: “I don’t feel as though I’m killing someone with a pen. I’m not putting lives at risk. When activists need a pretext to justify their violence, they always find it.

When the weasels in the white house can’t call terror by its name:

But Francois Hollande rushes to the scene:


You know the world is upside-down!

Rest In Peace you heroes of free speech – We’re all “Charb”, now
