What is the grand, take away lesson from yesterday’s jihadi/terrorist attack in Paris, that left 129 dead and hundreds injured?
Is it a result of the mass influx of Muslim migrants into Europe—including Islamic State operatives?
Is it yet another reflection of Islam’s unwavering Rule of Numbers, which holds that, wherever and whenever Muslims grow in numbers—and they make for an increasingly growing minority in France—the same acts of “anti-infidel” violence that are endemic to the Islamic world grow with them?
For all who are uninformed, the above are certainly lessons associated with the Paris attack. But they are not the grand lesson.
The grand lesson is that such attacks must and will continue to multiply in severity. Why? Because Western nations, their leaders and media talking heads continue to be shocked and dismayed. As Judith Berman writes for the Gatestone Institute today:
One of the most surprising aspects of the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night is how “deeply shocked” members of the European political establishment appeared to be.
Angela Merkel, David Cameron and the Pope all expressed their condolences — and “deep shock” — at the well-coordinated, citywide terror attacks in six different places across Paris…
Even “NBA players express shock, sympathy over Paris terrorist tragedy.”
What is truly shocking is that so many are still shocked. When someone is shocked, they are essentially saying they have no idea how a specific event, in this case yesterday’s Paris attack, came to pass.
In turn, this means that all the factors that led up to such terrorist attacks—from an already large Muslim presence further engorged with more Muslim migrants, to an inability to speak honestly about Islam’s supremacist and violent teachings—will continue unabated.
And that means many more such attacks and worse will continue. Count on it.
Waiting says
I was not shocked. After reading and seeing on the news, photos and reports of thousands entering France, Germany, UK and elsewhere, I have expected to see this kind of action. Not knowing when things would happen, but knowing that there would be acts of terrorism. Not knowing which country would be *first*..but knowing that there would be a first. And there will be more.
Glen Erickson says
I too was expecting what happened and wonder why it took so long. It amazes me that the world leaders prefer to see the world through their own ideological paradigm instead of accepting the reality of the Muslims quite different paradigm. I read the Koran around 1990 and was shocked. It was clear from that alone that this kind of thing was inevitable. What is wrong with the leaders. Yes, racial prejudice is bad, but even we dummies know that’s not the issue. Why can’t these supposedly smart people distinguish the difference between socially healthy human operating systems and those that are endemically corrosive to a free society.
Waiting says
Mr. Mark Stein (can’t recall the exact spelling of his name) was on the news and speaking about the fact some in government use the phrase “universal values” without acknowledging what those values are. Those who claim islam do not have the same values as the rest of us. They do not value freedom…to speak, to make choices according to personal preference or belief, truth, and especially, life.
It has nothing to do with race, as you point out. It’s about what we see as truth, integrity, and virtue and knowing islam has none of these.
Trev says
I started working my way through the Suna of Al Buqhari, it only gets worse. I’ve noticed the only time Muslims are commanded to do good works, it’s always qualified towards other Muslims, never infidels. Christianity makes no such distinction with the golden rule
dante says
What race is islam?
sooz22 says
Islam is NOT a race – it is a religious and political ideology that encompasses all facets of (their) life – and ALL “races.”
christianblood says
Will the French, the Americans and other Westerners immediately
stop backing islamic jihadists they are backing in Syria and instead give their full support to the Syrian Army which is the only force that can annihilate isis and all the other barbaric islamic jihadists in Syria? Will they learn from their grand mistake of replacing Arab secular rulers such as Saddam, Qaddafi, Mubarak and now Assad with barbaric genocidal islamic jihadists? Will they disassociate themselves of Saudi Arabia which is the country that sponsors the global genocidal islamic ideology of jihad and supremacism which is destroying lives
and countries from Indonesia to Nigeria and from Australia to Canada?
ClaraThomas says
When this terrorist action was going on, the first thing I realized was that it was Nov 13th. In the symbolic nature of the Masons and Illuminati, 11 and 13 are major numbers. Many of these terrorist actions over the years have been on certain dates. Its all about the numbers.
Most people will never figure this out. The mainstream media has their attention diverted to the usual Sex, Screen and Sport. The ruling elite own and control the media, the banking system and in general YOU. They have the money and the power.
As Nelson Rockefeller stated in the 1960’s concerning how the elite control and manipulate the news and flow of information.
M=m3 Manipulation = Money x Media x Manpower.
cheeseburger says
Obama choreographed the entire event.
featherofmaat says
I’d love to blame Obama for everything because he’s vile. But, this exercise in stupidity and madness goes back to years before Obama appeared on the scene. Read “The Redirection” by Seymour Hersch, 2007, The New Yorker and you will truly understand. Trust me, you won’t be smiling after you read the article.
Lancelot Blackeburne says
Not shocked at all. It was only a question of time; a matter of where and when.
ISIS and Islamists in general have been saying this would happen and many of us believed them, even if our “leaders” didn’t.
Samuel Huntington predicted this clash of civilizations back in the early 1990s. It’s here, just in case anyone still doubts it.
But our “leaders – like Angela Merkel, who preaches “tolerance” (read “surrender”) in the face of this Paris attack – still don’t get it.
Francoise Hollande says the response to this attack will be “merciless”. Yeah right, Francoise; we don’t believe you.
The only question is whether we have the votes to turf out the likes of Angela Merkel and Francoise Hollande and replace them them with people like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban before it’s too late.
featherofmaat says
Sarkozy was getting tough on the scourge and he was voted out. Mustafa Kemal’s Turkey no longer exists. GB has Sharia courts. Sweden is suffering. The Vicar of Christ is delusional. Obama is, well, we all know what Obama is. It’s time for a massive cleansing and I’m totally ready for it.
Trev says
I’m just waiting for our paris here in Canada now that our new premier Trudeau is fast tracking 25,000 “refugees” into Canada by Christmas. Merry Christmas Canada.
featherofmaat says
“And that means many more such attacks and worse will continue. Count on it.” Indeed, Raymond, Indeed. For years, this scourge was overpowered. Now, we have to live defensively because no one knows where or when these barbarians will strike again. The West empowered and enabled this scourge to run amok. Relativism, combined with a healthy dose of GREED, can be a VERY dangerous thing. When I look back over the events of the past five years, there is a feeling of disbelief. It’s surreal.
Magicmaninthesky Nothanks says
I was not in the least bit shocked. Since I have a full understanding of the teachings of Islam and the character and recorded actions of the first Islamic terrorist Mohammed.
evoval says
These leaders are not shocked. They’re playing those that give them the benefit of being stupid as fools.
christianblood says
If there is any trace of common sense left in their hearts, the French,
the Americans and other Westerners should immediately stop backing
islamic jihadists they are backing in Syria and instead give their full
support to the Syrian Army which is the only force that can annihilate
isis and all the other barbaric islamic jihadists in Syria.
chief says
Oh why can’t some one say it as it is. Allah is Satan and his mission is to seek kill and destroy. Muhammed was a false prophet, and the Koran is corrupt, evil and satanic. Full stop ! It is about time the Koran is banned and all mosques be strictly supervised to be more people friendly.

Sometimes the simplest explanation always works.
Merkel, Hollande, and all liberals have taken money from the House of Saud to infest your countries with Muslims. Make money, get cheap labour, get votes and last get nobel peace prize at the expense of the original white european population. When terrorism happens, we will see, express shock, condem the “dastardly and cowardly” attacks, and say Islam is not terror, but a religion of peace and get even more Muslims, as we won’t tolerate hate in our hearts.
I am from India and our leftist and liberal Congress govt from years imported Muslim hordes from Bangladesh for their vote bank. They also made money because every Bangladeshi paid 100,000 Rs (roughly 1500 USD) per person to come on Indian soil. The result: its a time bomb we are sitting on. The worst is Muslims are allowed to take upto 4 wives in India, they are multiplying like rabbits. They want to outbreed and kill us Hindus.
My prayers are with the victims of the Paris attack, but more then that, my prayers are that the European / American people wake up and throw out leaders like Merkel / Hollande and Obama and bring in leaders like Trump, Viktor Orban and Robert Fico and Marie Le Penn. You are a lovely civilization who has brought liberty education and free speech to the world and to see your culture die will mean the dark ages will come back.

I always thought I would migrate to Europe to escape Muslim hordes in India someday. Alas, Europe is not safe anymore, it’s worse then India. Neither is United States with Hussain Obama in power. Neither is Australia. Will no place in the world ever be safe ?
Rolf says
You are not wrong. The oligarchs in Brussels think that they’re building a post-Christian post-national utopia. What they’re really building is a continent-sized Yugoslavia. The kind of internecine civil war and hatred seen in ’90s Yugoslavia is something that we may well see all over Europe in the 21st century.
And at least Yugoslavia was a fairly safe place before it began to fall apart! The Yugoslav communists didn’t hesitate to crack down on Salafists or maladjusted communities.
Here in the European Union, though, we are simply told that “there is no problem” and that we’re racist islamophobes for even thinking otherwise. Even though we’re seeing a horrible surge in crime and intercommunal tensions that is very clearly driven by maladjusted (and usually Muslim) immigrant communities. Even though anti-Western and anti-Christian bigotry is teeming throughout a lot of European Muslim communities. And even though radical Muslims are committing deadlier terrorist attacks here than the Red Brigades or the 19th century anarchists ever did.
There’s already a backlash against this. But it will take A LOT of effort before things will change at EU level – the European Parliament is democratic in name only, and the EU politicians have made it very clear that they will not accept any dissent from voter or politician alike. Just look at what they did when the people of the Netherlands and France voted against a EU constitution.

I go with you until you ask for the opportunist Trump as a leader. He has shown his true colors in Iowa. What a monster!

He maybe a monster, but right now we need monsters who will work with other sensible right-wing monsters to keep these real monsters at bay!!
Gerald, if these people are not removed forget western civilization ending, western women and young girls will be taken as sex slaves. It’s still not too late.
jafo says
Why is it only political leaders are shocked? More than two weeks ago I said such events were going to happened. Followed by popular uprising by the populace and attacks on refugee camps. Anyone with a lick of common sense could see this and worse coming to pass …. Morons. We are led by morons.
Rabaul says
I am not shocked by the attack or severity. I am disappointed and disillusioned at the global reaction. It seems that when Western interests get attacked, the West cries and screams against the tyranny of terrorism.On June 19, 2000, 211 people, mostly women and children, were massacred by jihadists working with the Indonesian military in the church in Duma, Halmahera, North Maluku. No fuss, they’re just Indonesian Christians. They don’t count. They’re not Westerners. There was no police, military or government investigation. No-one was charged. I know the names of the Indonesian military officers involved, but who cares! This is what disturbs me. The Indonesia jihad has not stopped, just changed tactics but even in this last few weeks 8000 Christians hounded out of their villages, their churches destroyed, but no fuss, they’re just Indonesian Christians, who cares? But when a country like France eg Charlie Hebdo and last Friday’s attacks, the world is in uproar. This selective shock and horror is why we are in a sick world and continue to be terrorised by Islamic extremism. No. It won’t stop soon. From Islamic jihad viewpoint it will only stop when the whole world is living under shariah law and then we will have peace, that’s what they mean when the say, “We love peace!” and “We are the religion of peace!
gerald nichols says
Totally on spot!
sooz22 says
Yes, they want the entire world to bow down to Sharia, but once all of the “others” have been obliterated, they will (and do) turn on themselves.

That “peace” will include stonings, torture, gays thrown from rooftops, murder of people for “blasphemy”…. The list will be endless.
Ian Anderson says
Hey
The French, Germans and the other lefties do gooders type Democratic countries need to get creamed. Taken over by the idiot Muslims cause it’s just nature. Evolution. The stupid get killed. If things ever got real bad the Yanks and Brits would just nuke Europe and some Mideast countries. Problem solved . No more do gooders and bleeder types. You see you can kill terrorists types wholesale ie make bullets faster than their woman can make babies . Just kidding. Annoyance at stupidity on national levels. Truth is the Yanks could wipe them all out in a week. Just want the trouble to continue. Trouble means more weapon sales. Simple. Few towel heads with small arms against massive military with first world heavy weapons? You are shitting me surely?

Obama of course will now get in his pulpit and say Europeans “must do more” to make it more difficult for Islamofascist Sociopaths to get AK-47’s, grenades, Semtex, etc…oh wait, all of the above is completely illegal already. Doesn’t matter, as in his and liberals delusional minds, “more laws” solve problems and are the answer for everything.

Islam is of the Devil. What else needs to be said.
Rollo10 says
ISIS are the creation of the US, who have been using them to oust Assad, but Putin explained to the world that US and her allies fighting in Syria, was illegal under UN charter. The only way a UN member can ‘attack’ a Sovereign nation, is under ‘self-defence’…..enter attack in Paris and Hollande first words; “this is an act of war”! At this time, no-one knew who the perpetrators were, but just like MH17, those ‘running the show’ knew! If nothing else, they have secured Europe, for their control, as all borders will now be closed and the EU can carry on destroying democracy and creating their One World Government. You could say this was a twofer, for the Zionists.
RMV says
Sharia law is an integral part of islam. All practicing muslims must accept sharia law
as part of their religious system and beliefs. Sharia law is the antithesis of
Western culture and civilization. Islamic sharia law is based on 16th
century beliefs and it fails to allow its patrons to mature with the rest of
the modern world.
If you are a Christian, you believe in Jesus and your
faith is based on Judeo-Christian roots. We as Christians have the utmost
respect for people’s personal freedoms.
One interesting concept of sin and salvation between
Christianity and Islam is that we as Christians pray, ‘Lead us not into
temptation.’ We teach our children to avoid places with allurements. In Islam,
persons and things that tempt are destroyed or removed. Women are covered,
prostitutes are executed, idols are blown up, and hands are cut off for
stealing.
In Islam you don’t pray ‘Lead us not into temptation’
because you do not believe in a Holy Spirit to guide your life. You simply
transform societies in such a way that there are no temptations. In this way
the road to the muslim paradise is made easier by destroying personal freedoms.
I for one do not believe all muslims are bad; however,
it’s in the interest of ALL muslims to enforce ‘Sharia Law’ as legal code in
all countries since it is the foundation of their faith.
The biggest misconception muslims have is that sin comes
from the outside. Sin does not come from the outside, it comes from within. You
can not force the sin out of anyone. You can not make someone sinless by
transforming the world around them like Sharia Law suggests.
The good and the bad are already inside each of us to
regulate and manage. It’s our own choice which one we choose to manifest. . .

Great point, Ray.
PigManFan says
The shock is the result of the popularity of religion. Religious people have a blind spot because they cannot identify the root cause of jihad: faith as a means of knowledge. If faith is a means of your knowledge, then how can a jihadist’s faith-derived knowledge be wrong? In other words, the content of a specific religion is not the key. It doesn’t matter if god said, “kill your son Isaac,” “turn the other other cheek (i.e. sacrifice yourself to evil),” or “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.” What matters is the method of acquiring knowledge–including moral knowledge–via faith rather than reality+reason.
