Terror Tragedy in Paris

Submitted by Mike Ramirez (United States), Jan 8, 2015 at 00:41

Dear Marie Claude, I am deeply saddened by the terrorist attack this week against Charlie Hedbo that left twelve people dead in Paris. My prayers go out to the families of the victims. I have always felt a warm regard for the country of France ever since being introduced to the songs of Edith Piaf several years ago by a former girlfriend who was born in your country. The attack reportedly was carried out by three men who believed it was their obligation to take vengeance against the newspaper company for the satirical publications about Islam.

It is unfortunate that the world has come to this and that the leaders of your country as well as ours are more concerned with and controlled by "political correctness" rather than admitting that the goal of Islam is world domination by the use of all means possible including increased acts of terror against non-Muslim societies.
