Twelve people have been shot dead at the headquarters of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, say police.
Two masked gunmen are reported to have stormed the offices of the controversial publication, which has previously been attacked over its portrayal of the Prophet Mohammed.

Radical Islam declared war on the West about 25 years ago, but we have not yet decided to fight back.

Actually, it started much earlier than that.
One small example comes from a book by Simon Winchester, "Krakatora." In brief, he documents the uprising of radical Islam which occurred following the eruption of the volcano. Both the book and that wrinkle are very engaging.

That's an odd connection. I would never have put that together.

There's a bit more to it. Basically, the Dutch were operating like a bunch of SOBs, so, there was already lingering resentments. The eruption and subsequent hardship which ensued were catalysts for the uprising.
True to his training and interest, geology factors in all of Winchester's writings in one way or another.

Back to the current event, were there any licensed concealed-carriers nearby to assist the police? Apparently not.

25 years?
"Benjamin Franklin hated giving money to Islamic pirates. The majority of early American tax revenues were used to pay-off Islamic pirates, who demanded that Americans be subservient to Muslim pirates. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson finally got fed up with paying the 20% shake-down ‘tax’ Muslim pirates levied on US ships, and Benjamin Franklin and a band of patriots (meeting in the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia!) founded the US Marines to protect the US from the Islamic pirates."

I have a great idea.
Why don't we just follow Europe's idealistic notions on immigration and the left's idealistic notions on immigration, religion, profiling, and people in general and invite millions more of them to immigrate to the US legally and illegally?

Sure, why not? I mean, we live in an enlightened age where we all love one another and live in toleration, right? No need to be mindful of what history teaches.
You can do that if you have a pen and a phone -- go for it.

We should be one with the world community as Pelosi and Obama desire, and be more tolerant of opposing views (or bombs as the case may be).

Here in heavily French influenced Cajun country we actually get TV Monde 5 from France in our cable package.
I can understand French sporadically (so I couldn't understand everything they were saying) but their coverage seemed very low key and almost workman-like.
They also returned to their regularly scheduled programming after about an hour of covering the attack....here in America we stay on with it 24-7.
