Could this have been prevented? Early in 2014, Professor Andrew Hussey's "The French Infitada" was published (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/29/books/review/the-french-intifada-by-andrew-hussey.html). In it, Dr. Hussey predicted that the France's no-go zones (ZUS) were proliferating and that an intofada was simmering beneath France's romantic surface.

If there is any good to become of the Charlie Massacre in Paris it may be that the so-called "Progressives" have been awakened to the threat that the radical islamofascists and advocates of sharia pose to freedom and to progressive values.

Halleluja! It's about time. Now, let's see how a united liberal world responds to the anti-liberal threat posed by advocates of sharia.
