I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:If you question the government narrative about terror attacks like the one that occurred on September 11, or believe in religious prophecies about the end times, or dispute the legitimacy of your rulers, or hold any sort of views that politicians consider “extremist,” watch out. Last week, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron told the United Nations and its largely autocratic member regimes that the perpetual terror war requires far more than just crackdowns on violence and terrorism. Now, as the terror war becomes increasingly globalized and fanatical, what Cameron described as “non-violent extremism” all over the world is in the crosshairs, too. Domestically in the United Kingdom, authorities are also plotting an intense crackdown on speech and ideas, with official plans that have been widely criticized and ridiculed by opponents as extreme, counterproductive, and repressive. For the fortunate “non-violent extremists,” authorities are planning to impose a censorship regime further curtailing free speech, in addition to close monitoring. Under an upcoming set of new “rules” to be inflicted on British subjects by Cameron’s self-styled Conservative Party, people considered to be “extremists” will have to seek approval from terror police simply to post messages on Facebook or Twitter. According to the U.K. Telegraph, the so-called “Extremist Disruption Orders” will also prohibit “extremists” from speaking at public events if authorities decide they might represent a threat to the vaguely defined “functioning of democracy.” Top government officials said “extremists” would be barred from speaking on television or radio, too. If a group promotes or spreads what politicians consider “hatred” — biblical notions of marriage, perhaps, or the speeches of former U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill — its members and donors can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. The so-called “banning orders” purporting to prohibit organizations and speech the government disagrees with are reportedly part of a broader strategy dubbed “Prevent.”

And yet, the world MSM types like Christiane , went w/ the ' activists ' card. She does a grave disservice to both groups, terrorists and activists, imo. Of course, it actually benefits the cause of the terrorists to be elevated to the status of 'activist', because it assigns legitimacy to their cause. And a legitimate cause must be respected, and not exterminated.

Quote: PARIS, France – President Barack Obama will not join other world leaders at Sunday’s Paris march in tribute to the victims of this week’s Islamist attacks in France, a US official told AFP. Ever since the bloody shooting that killed 12 people at satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday — followed by separate attacks that left five more people dead — Obama has made repeated declarations in support of America’s “oldest ally.” But he will not join other leaders including British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, all set to attend the march. The rally will put Netanyahu in the same event with Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas. More than a million people are expected to go. “I want the people of France to know that the United States stands with you today, stands with you tomorrow,” Obama said Friday, following three days of bloodshed. On Thursday, Obama wrote the Gallic slogan “Vive la France!” in a condolence book during a visit to the embassy in Washington. Here is a list of world political figures who have confirmed their attendance: Albania — Prime Minister Edi Rama Algeria — Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra Austria — Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz Belgium — Prime Minister Charles Michel Benin — President Thomas Boni Yayi Britain — Prime Minister David Cameron Bulgaria — Prime Minister Boyko Borisov Canada — Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney Croatia — Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic Czech — Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka Denmark — Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt Gabon — President Ali Bongo Ondimba Georgia — Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili Germany — Chancellor Angela Merkel Greece — Prime Minister Antonis Samaras Hungary — Prime Minister Viktor Orban Israel — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman Italy — Prime Minister Matteo Renzi Jordan — King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Latvia — Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma Mali — President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita Niger — President Mahamadou Issoufou Palestinian territories — president Mahmud Abbas Portugal — Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho Romania — President Klaus Iohannis Russia — Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Spain — Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy Switzerland — President Simonetta Sommaruga The Netherlands — Prime Minister Mark Rutte Tunisia — Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa Turkey — Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu United Arab Emirates — Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan Ukraine — President Petro Poroshenko United States — Attorney General Eric Holder European Commission — President Jean-Claude Juncker European Parliament — President Martin Schulz European Union — President Donald Tusk NATO — Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg RELATED STORIES How French police cornered and killed jihadist attackers France shaken, 20 dead in three stunning days of terror Read more: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/663811/obama-wont-attend-france-peace-rally#ixzz3OWNzLPcg

So f'ing what? It may very well be exactly that, but it also does serve as a very visible shift, at least initially, in the mindset that Europe has been operating under for the past several decades. The open borders, multi-culturalism views of inviting the world in, damn the consequences , may have come home to roost. But you're right. Unless laws are changed and borders are more tightly controlled, it's all just for show.

Quote: “The enemy is pre-ordained. It's us. Which means Howard Dean is right. This is a cult, a cult of apologists. But Dean is also right when he says this is not a religious issue, which means, if I don't see Islam when I fight terror, then you cannot see Islamophobia when I fight it,” Gutfeld remarked. Gutfeld said that we should see “a death cult, one that needs no understanding, just eradication.” Gutfeld wondered where this cult has learned to punish language. “How about Harvard and our modern cult of hate speech activists, who see language as violence, creating speech codes with penalties? Seeing ‘activists’ silence critics so easily must make them drool with envy.”

How this man has the nerve to criticise the language code of others is beyond me. It's projection at its finest.

Quote:President Barack Obama voiced continued support for France following Friday’s hostage-taking standoffs and the killings at a publication there earlier this week, pledging that the United States will do all it can to help a key ally. “I want the people of France to know the United States stands with you today, stands with you tomorrow,” he said at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, Tennessee. The president said he’s been briefed on the latest developments by his counterterror adviser, Lisa Monaco, and has made clear his willingness to provide “whatever support our ally needs.” The world has been reminded that terrorists have “nothing to offer but hatred and human suffering,” Obama said, but the response in Paris has shown that liberty will prevail. “We stand for freedom, hope and the dignity of all human beings, and that’s what the city of Paris represents to the world,” he said. “That spirit will endure forever, long after the scourge of terrorism is banished from this world.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/obama-france-attacks-response-114128.html#ixzz3OaTWFk2g
Quote:President Barack Obama promised to give France the full assistance of the U.S. in hunting down the gunmen who attacked the Paris office of a satirical magazine, leaving at least 12 dead. Obama denounced the mass shooting as a cowardly act carried out by terrorists who fear freedom. He vowed U.S. counterterrorism officials would work hand-in-hand with authorities in France, which he called one of America’s oldest and strongest allies. “The values that we share with the French people, a belief, a universal belief in freedom of expression, is something that can’t be silenced because of the senseless violence of the few,” Obama told reporters at the White House before meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden. “We will provide them with every bit of assistance we can.” Obama later called French President Francois Hollande to offer condolences as well as assistance.
Quote:President Barack Obama made remarks about the shooting that took place at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris on Wednesday before holding a meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden. Obama said his “thoughts and prayers” were with those affected by the shooting, saying his administration is doing all it can to “remain vigilant” against threats to Americans in France and in the US. “I’ve reached out to President Hollande of France and hope to have the opportunity to talk to him today, but thought it was appropriate to express my deepest sympathy to the people of Paris and the people of France for the terrible terrorist attack that took place earlier today,” Obama said.

Quote: U.S. President Barack Obama faced sharp criticism from some American media on Monday over not attending a huge Paris solidarity rally in the wake of deadly Islamist attacks. "You let the world down," blared the front page of the New York Daily News. Numerous world leaders came to Paris Sunday to lead a march in support of victims of Islamist attacks killed during three bloody days in France. The violence began with a gun attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and ended up leaving 17 people dead. Millions turned out on Sunday in the biggest protests in French history that included around 1.6 million people rallying in the capital. But Obama was not among the leaders who walked arm in arm at the head of the procession in Paris, with Washington represented by its ambassador to France Jane Hartley. "As an American, I do wish that we were better represented in this beautiful procession," said CNN's Jake Tapper from the rally in Paris. Attorney General Eric Holder was in Paris but did not walk with the world leaders while Secretary of State John Kerry was on a visit to India. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden had no events on their public schedule for the day. Kerry announced he would visit France later this week and he downplayed criticism of the administration. "This is sort of quibbling," Kerry told reporters in India. "The relationship with France is not about one day or one particular moment," said the top US diplomat. Political-insider magazine Politico wrote a story about the administration missing the rally under the headline: "Barack Obama's French kiss-off." http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/162648
