“There is no question of ceding anything,” says Charlie Hebdo.
Sorry, Charlie, but wake up to what is going on around you. This ground has already largely been ceded. In Sweden, police are hunting down people who burn the Qur’an. All over the West, it is increasingly taken for granted that if jihadis threaten to kill you for doing something, you simply must stop doing it, not stand up for freedom. The war against the freedom of speech has been going on for quite some time, and the foes of that freedom are doing very well.

An update on this story. “Paris stabbings were act of Islamist terrorism, says minister,” by Angela Charlton and Oleg Cetinic, Associated Press, September 25, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
A double stabbing outside the former Paris offices of a satirical newspaper where dozens were killed in 2015 is an “act of Islamist terrorism”, France’s interior minister has said.
Two suspects were arrested separately shortly after the stabbing in which two people were wounded.
The main suspect had been arrested a month ago on the steps of the Bastille Opera, not far from the attack site, for carrying a screwdriver but was not on the police radar for Islamic radicalisation.
The interior minister said the young man arrived in France three years ago as an unaccompanied minor, apparently from Pakistan, but his identity was still being verified.
“But manifestly it’s an act of Islamist terrorism,” Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said in an interview with the France 2 television station. “Obviously, there is little doubt. It’s a new bloody attack against our country, against journalists, against this society.”
France’s counter-terrorism prosecutor said earlier that authorities suspect a terrorist motive because of the place and timing of the stabbings: in front of the building where Charlie Hebdo was based until the Islamic extremist attack on its cartoonists and at a time when suspects in the 2015 attack are on trial.
Prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard said that the chief suspect in Friday’s stabbings was arrested, along with another person.
Mr Ricard said the assailant did not know the people who were stabbed, a woman and a man working at a documentary production company who had stepped outside for a smoking break…
French Prime Minister Jean Castex…promised the government’s “unfailing attachment to freedom of the press, and its determination to fight terrorism”.
In a tweet, Charlie Hebdo strongly condemned the stabbings.
“This tragic episode shows us once again that fanaticism, intolerance, the origins of which will be revealed by the investigation, are still present in French society….There is no question of ceding anything,” the newspaper said….

You mean it is no longer the religion of peace? Wait ’til the Pope and Trudeau hear about this. Gonna have to ship a lot of folks back to the desert.
mortimer says
It’s now official: Islam is the ‘former religion of peace’. The French government has discovered the JIHAD DOCTRINE, the AL WALAA WAL BARAA DOCTRINE and the GHEIRA DOCTRINE.

Please explain briefly this “WALLA WALLA BING BANG” of which you speak, Mortie.

It is about sacralized hatred of non-Muslims.

Islamic terrorism ? No mainstream Islam, this is the act of a devout Muslim.
Jerome B Bigge says
Just following the directions written in the Koran. Which is as all Muslims know, the “word of Allah”.
Michael Copeland says
Angela Charlton and Oleg Cetinic of Associated Press tell us that the suspect “was not on the police radar for Islamic radicalisation”.
Can they also tell us what is the difference between “Islamic radicalisation” and basic Islamic teaching?
(Hint: there is not one)
The Koran instructs “radicalisation”.
The Koran is the root (Latin radix) of this process.
The Koran commands killing.
Islam — ordinary basic orthodox Islam — violates Western criminal law.

So So true Michael! Why can’t we have a serious discussion in parliament about the threat to this country and in fact all Christians all over the world? Is it pure cowardivce? We hear nothing from the church about this, why? Have they just laid down in submission? It is pathetic! I have purchased a copy of the Quran to see for myself. Its teachings are quite unacceptable to decent Christians in what I have read so far.
Michael Copeland says
There are small signs of progress in the needed Learning Curve.
At last no instant declarations of “senseless killing”,….”we do not know the motive”, …”mental illness”, and so on..
No. The French Interior Minister announces accurately:
“It’s a new bloody attack against our country, against journalists, against this society.”
Indeed. This is Islam against Western laws, freedom of speech, and democracy – all in keeping with Islam’s doctrines.
Other journalists, please note well, BBC especially.
j c a reid says
Islamist is a non-word like Islamophobe. This was an Act of Terror carried out by a Muslim in the name of his Religion, as dictated by the Islamic Texts.
peter says
Whatever Quran says is anti Humanitarian and violates most of the constitution of western Democracies including US . Why not have it banned ? Politicians are cow towing because of loosing elections . God save US and the West!
Walter Sieruk says
Technically it may be more actually said that “Those stabbing outside the former Charlie Hebdo were actions of Muslim terrorism.” Not acts of “Islamist terrorism. This is because there are jihadist terrorist. Likewise there are Islamic terrorists and Muslim terrorists. All are are three different terms for a devout jihad-minded dangerous and violent follower of Islam.
Nevertheless, there is no such thing as an “Islamist terrorist.” For the “word” as “Islamist” and also “Islamism” are totally bogus fictional words as this below essay will explain.
As the word “Islamism” is a fake word that used that was made up after September 11, 2001 in order offend or upset non-violent Muslims. The real, actual, word is just “Islam.” Likewise, the word “Islamist” is also a bogus word that was made up after 9/11 in order not to offend or upset peaceful Muslims. To keep with reality, terms should better be used as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim terrorist” . Let’s call people and thing as the really are.
Likewise ,the terms “Radical Muslim” and “Islamic extremist” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam”.
Furthermore, those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”

O.K. So has PBS, and the media finally read the text , the facts. Sharia law is incompatible with our law….and as the sharia population grows, mosques get built so the future threats get worse, the ballots of Islam will over turn our country by silencing free speech about factual verses or commands of sharia law, they do so for acceptance. Sharia law will silence truth with the term hate speech, threats of violence so their political power is established, as long as the verses to terrorize the non islamic citizens of France, England, Scotland, Germany, U.S. Sweden, China etc. from Quranic texts that exists and is accomplished by information suppression by our left.
Jerome B Bigge says
Robert Spencer’s “THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO THE KORAN” also covers this topic. I have it on my Kindle along with Tom Kratman’s “CALIPHATE”. The latter seems to be an all too possible “history” of a future Europe, especially given how these countries are now welcoming Muslims with open arms! A worse fate in fact that what the conquest of Western Europe by the Soviet Union would have been. When you have something “worse” than Soviet Communism being “welcomed” by all modern democratic societies, you can see how people are “confused” as to who is “friend” and who is “enemy”. Frankly, it would be better to live under Mr. Putin than what it would be to live under Islamic rule!
DavidR says
What was considered an insulting lie in 2015 is now true. Muslims DO believe in Islam and Islam DOES require execution for unrepentant blasphemy. Islamists may not fear death but they sure as hell fear facts.

At least French authorities are admitting this–even if they do use the weasel word “Islamist”.

Grimly spot on, Check.
tim gallagher says
This is the garbage that our countries have imported by letting Muslims in. Totally different values to that of our hard won western way of life with its freedom of expression, even if what people express upsets some people. Such civilised values don’t exist in the Muslim world, not part of their backward way of life. This is the type of crap that will happen over and over again as long as we have Muslims fouling up our countries. Back to the dark ages, that’s Islam. Freedom of expression or Muslims, you can’t have them both in the same place. You have to be so primitive to be upset over cartoons of their foul prophet, who was such a low life creature anyway.
Check Burry says
Thumbs well up, to that
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Check Burry. Why our countries let in these Muslim enemies of our civilised way of life, including our freedom of speech, is beyond me. Let enough Muslims in and we’ll all have a rotten life.

I was wondering: We had a lot of movies about WW2 and the evils of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. We don’t we have movies about the Islamic terrorists and the evils they do?
