Terror attack at Paris magazine leaves 12 dead; gunmen escape

Hooded gunmen shouting Islamic phrases stormed the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo Wednesday, killing 11 people, including the editor and four cartoonists whose work has included controversial drawings of the Prophet Mohammed.

The two gunmen armed with Kalashnikovs fled in a stolen car in the Paris suburb after exchanging gunfire with police at the scene, killing one, France24 reports.

Video shot from a second floor window shows the pair calmly getting inside the dark-colored vehicle in the middle of the street before driving away. Police said the car was later founded abandoned in the nearby 19th district in northeastern Paris.

Thoughts, condolences and prayers to the victims...

*scratches head in thought* ....wonder how long it'll take the chattering classes in the West to say, 'oh, it was the paper's fault, not the Islamists... *adds w/bitter deadpan* ...you know, the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to think that Florida pastor had the right idea a few years ago...

*continues previous thought* ...I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a backlash against Muslims in Europe and the West...but, to be quite honest, until they deal with the radicals in their midst, I really don't give a them what they think.

The Wanker has already sided with the terrorists several months ago:

On September 19, 2012 at the White House daily press briefing then press secretary Jay Carney condemned the judgement of Charlie Hebdo magazine for publishing “deeply offensive,” anti-Islamic cartoons.

This is very terrible, and I feel horrible that so many families just lost loved ones. It's good that these people were able to spread the word of their beliefs and speak their minds, but at a serious price.

...figures. Shame the media (and/or the American people) can't do this:

...in regards to Nobama, Islamists, political correctness, etc.,etc.,etc.,....

...shame the French no longer use the guillotine; this would be a good time to break it out of the museum:

One of the suspects in the Paris attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine has been killed and the two others are in custody, two senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC News. Authorities identified the three men as Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, both French and in their early 30s, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, whose nationality wasn't immediately clear.

One of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the investigation, told The Associated Press that the men were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network. And Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Authorities have not reported any arrests in the case.

The gunmen, armed with AK-47s, attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a publication that has enraged Muslims for publishing cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. On their way in, they killed a maintenance worker, then stormed into an editorial meeting, where they killed eight journalists, including Stephane Charbonnier, the magazine's editorial director, and Bank of France economist Bernard Maris, a columnist. A security officer and a guest were also gunned down. As they fled, they killed a second police officer.

Eleven other people were injured, four of them critically, officials said.

Because the masked, black-clad gunmen attacked with militaristic precision and left the scene with shouts of "Allahu Akbar," the killers were suspected to be well-trained Islamic extremists. But their motive and backgrounds are still being investigated.

While authorities hunted the suspects, shock and mourning spread across Paris and the rest of France, a country with an estimated 5 million Muslims. France has a long, troubled relationship with its Arab immigrants and a more recent history of unrest among young native-born Muslims. There has been growing concern about young men and women returning to France after joining jihadist activity in the Middle East.

Thousands of Parisians took to the streets in spontaneous and defiant demonstrations of unity. They lighted candles and held signs declaring "Je Suis Charlie" ("I am Charlie") in reference to the magazine. At the Place de la Republique, they crammed themselves up onto the monument in the middle of the square and chanted "Charlie! Liberty!" Candles, posters and signs covered the three statues representing Liberty, Equality and Fraternity — the bedrock of French values.

"They want to scare French citizens and prohibit any criticism of religion, so here we are to remind them that religion can be freely criticized," said Sasha Reingewirtz, 28, president of the Jewish Students Union.

President Francois Hollande declared Thursday a day of national mourning and called for a minute of silence at noon. Flags will fly at half-staff for three days. The government raised its terrorism threat level to its highest grade and announced that security forces would be deployed at media outlets, major shopping venues, sites of religious worship and transportation networks in the Paris region.

a sad story, but did the people get caught?

if not, why would you assume it was islamists that did it?

Hooded gunmen shouting Islamic phrases

^ who heard it and does those people that heard it know for a fact that they were screaming islamic phases or did they media just inserted that into this news story to try to blame islamic for this?

The first victory of terrorism is to silent the masses and make them afraid to speak the truth.
Do not be a fraid.
Freedom was never won without a fight, freedom was never kept without a struggle.
Do not let them silence you.

No I mean there multiculturalism failure and the no go zones all over France and Europe filled with radicalized Muslims. It will be interesting when they find out the weaponry probably came from isis or one of the other groups.

We are becoming multicultural by our open borders. But throughout our history no we are not. Immigrants came here to be Americans and be a part of American society and culture. Make English the first language and deeply engrain themselves in everything American. That is dying with the weak kneed politicians who believe in open borders because they do not believe it is fair we as Americans have it good while others are suffering. And the others who want the cheap labor and have bought off the politicians.

RIP..

Freedom of speech is dying an excruciating death. Watching it die is difficult enough, but knowing that, somehow, by my silence, I am complicit in the death, is unbearable. One thing is certain. I cannot stand by and do nothing. I cannot stand by and watch our freedoms die. I cannot stand by in tacit silence, while what's left of our freedom wriggles and squirms and gasps for air. There has got to be a mass resuscitation. There has got to be a way to breathe life back into our Bill of Rights. We are careening down a slippery slope into a disaster, the magnitude of which nobody has ever witnessed. You know I am right, don't you? You can feel it too, can't you?

I missed this originally. Good post!

Breaking news update. Turns out it was miltant french pastry chefs. They turned in there pastry mixures for machine guns because they did not like the way the cartoonists were portraying there cupcakes in such a ugly and disgusting manor. Witnesses thought they heard ala akbar being screamed but the militant pastry chefs were actually screaming death to all that defile a cupcake.
