Is that due the rise of right-wing groups?

Sadly, the RF rulebook precludes me from giving a full and frank answer as to the "what". No doubt Muslims all over RF would soon be in full meltdown.

And sadly.....it's probably just the beginning.....there are over 300k Jews in France.

More specifically.....the rise of anti-semitism.

No, as most of the attacks against Jews and Jewish targets there have been from M.E. elements. Same is true in Sweden where some of my cousins live.

Well I never.....
My daughter missed the 7/7 bus bomb by 50 yards and 2 minutes. My wife and I missed them by 15 hours.
.... and I heard the Guildford pub bomb go off.
I thought that we had probs in the UK....... oh dear.....

If anything the rise of so-called "right wing" elements is a reaction to this
Middle East (which is a very polite way of saying almost exclusively Muslim).

So diplomatic...Not Y.O.U.
Middle Easterners.

Only when talking about politics or economics, my sweet.
You nail this topic on its fat little head --- almost all the time.

I'm intrigued, Wizzy. What are you suggesting here?One false flag in each country and people still believe it.

It's been all over the news here for the whole day...
There are already massive movements of people that will gather soon in Paris and other big cities to show their support to Charlie hebdo and freedom of speech.
The journal and the cartoonists were well known for their satyrical cartoons about politicians, and extreme religious leaders or movements.
"Charb", the director (dead now...) was a very strong willed man who already faced death threats and a first attack few years ago. This is what he said:
"I am not afraid of retaliation. I don't have childrens, no woman, no car, no debt. It may looks a little pompous, but I prefer to die standing than kneeling"
Cabu, Wolinski, Tignous and Charb, director and very famous cartoonists died. Everyone on facebook groups and individuals are also paying hommage to the dead cop, Ahmed, 42 years old.
It's sad to see this happen over a cartoon. Charlie wasn't against Islam, they mocked every extreme, should it be political or religious or whatever, and they valued their freedom to do so.

Exactly. If Muslims want to protest, do it. But for god's sake, do it peacefully and respectfully. Signs and the like, not ammunition and death.I can remember many years ago in the UK when the Monty Python film "The life of Brian" came out, there was a bit of a fuss and some Christian groups protested outside cinemas and such like.
But opening up with AKs?

Yes, and that makes today's attack even more appalling.
