No terrorist group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, an Islamic State militant praised the attack on the French satirical magazine on Wednesday.

"The lions of Islam have avenged our Prophet," Abu Mussab, who fights for IS insurgents in Syria, told Reuters via internet connection. "These are our lions. It's the first drops – more will follow," he said, speaking via an internet connection from Syria. He added that he and his fellow fighters are happy about the incident.

Mussab said he did not know the gunmen who carried out the attack, but added "they are on the path of the emir [IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi]....and our Sheikh Osama (bin Laden)."

Reports suggest that the cartoons portraying Prophet Mohammed published earlier by the satirical paper were the reason for the attack. The gunmen reportedly called out the victims by name, shouting: “We have avenged the prophet."

The religion of peace at it again.

The word "terrorism" is politically loaded and emotionally charged,and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition.

So whats haneef got to do with this barbarous murdering rampage?

1. French terrorists  -  post in this thread - The police source said one of them had been identified by his identity card which had been left in the getaway car.

2. Haneef suspected terrorist - sim card ties doctor to terrorists court told- headline (2007) Sim card a supposed 'link' to suspected terrorist.  The authoriies were wrong this time.

The connections between 1 and 2 are -  terrorists (or suspected terrorists)  and items found that could connect them directly to a terrorist act or the intention to commit one.

Thank you, was busy with children, boot camp and dinner.

That is exactly what it had to do with it, no political connection whatsoever, just a possible reason why an id card may be found.

It won't be a popular comment but I do agree with this....

What's the bet he will be lambasted for it and the quoted passage  will be ignored?

"Killing in response to insult, no matter how gross, must be unequivocally condemned.

That is why what happened in Paris cannot be tolerated," says Donohue. "But neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction."

So, is Donahue claiming that it's not ok to hold to account (by way of satire) the evil which is preached and practised by people, be they religious, or representatives of religion or otherwise?

Criticism of evil is to suppressed at our peril; the peril of having of that evil perpetuated, because we find it "politically incorrect" to criticise it. This is wrong and is unacceptable.

He isn't claiming anything, is he? He was making a comment about the situation and how we all need to take some responsibilty for our actions and that we should not tolerate what either side has done .

No it's not.

Terrorism is causing fear to others, for what ever reason (usually, think like I do) who are just going about their daily lives. You know what? I don't have to agree, I don't have to like the same political party, or religious group. I choose to think for myself and not make excuses for it.

Really?POLKS as you call it is a troll.Read the comments that it left hoping to start a fight.You gave kudos that makes you a troll as well.

Really? Polks is a poster who often posts things I agree with, sometimes not.

I give kudos where I feel it represents a view that is interesting, maybe one I might agree with or even an opposite view to mine, which might make me reconsider my thoughts on certain subjects.

I have given kudos to you in the past as well, was I a troll then?

I don't know on the news I see extremists implying to convert us on the street I'm accousted by other religions trying to convert me. But France has seen some incredibly shocking extremes from religious protests (Molotovs once the weapon of choice for Christians etc). This is sad and sickening and is beyond reason but to start to accuse that all Mulims are hateful would be bitterly ironic as we imply hatred towards them. These are isolated incidents from $%&%^*& who don't respect humanity like we all do from all walks of life. Will we ever be rid of them? Who knows, probably not any more than we will be done with wars, murder, corruption etc.

Some of the first to speak out were Muslim clerics who declared these people are criminals not muslims.  One said the criminals would no longer be welcome to enter a Mosque.

plenty of mosques will take them.
