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.

That's a bit rich coming from Brandis.The Haneef affair was nothing but a political stunt,orchestrated by Howard & co.to give them a much needed boost in the polls.It didn't work though;and from memory Haneef was awarded $1million in compensation.It should have been 5 times that amount and come out of the LNP coffers (slush funds).

Back to the matter in Paris.It's been reported the 18 year old suspect has handed himself in.

Other reports are saying that is incorrect. No doubt we will hear more soon.

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."

I agree too. Those cartoons were nothing short of "incitement to racial hatred."

Racial Villification Law In Australia

Since the introduction of provisions dealing with racial hatred in 1995, [3] the Racial Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to insult, humiliate, offend or intimidate another person or group in public on the basis of their race. Specifically, the Act states:

It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if:
(a) the act is reasonably likely in all the circumstances to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or group of people, and
(b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or some or all of the people in the group. [4]

A variety of acts can constitute racial hatred, including speaking, singing and making gestures in public, as well as drawings, images, and written publications such as newspapers, leaflets and websites.

There are three essential components of this unlawful conduct:

1) The act must be done in public;
2) It must be reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate the people against whom it is directed; and
3) It must be done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the group against whom it is directed.

Pure nonsense.Show me a shred of evidence that Christians were responsible and that the war was to further the aims of Christianity.

You make comments to people hoping to get a rise out of them so you can start an argument and make a scene.
