What justification can there be for the Paris massacre?

Why did you find it important to mention that? I just feel like I hear a really old dog whistle.

Also you misspelled the phrase.
Most likely because the morons that carry out these atrocities have a tendency to say it.... repeatedly...

The first person killed by them was a Muslim. In fact two of the 12 were Muslims. 1/6th of the victims were Muslims. I heard that they were radicalized over Abu Ghraib torturing by US soldiers. I suppose if US marines are wiring your genitals to the national grid you might get a bit upset over it and try to take some kind of revenge. There is also a lot of chatter about it coming days after France voting YES in the UN that made Netanyahu go crazy and demand an explanation and a payback for doing that. There was the 9/11 element where in all of it suddenly an ID turns up like the 9/11 passport in millions of tons of rubble. There is the part where the French revealed the names of suspects only to find one of them was at school at the time and found out about it on Twitter. These professional gunmen who apparently after the shooting travelled back home to their address. So many stories coming out. One thing is for certain though. Charlie Hebdo got the reaction they wanted. They don't do what they do not to get a reaction. It's just that they didn't like that reaction but it was a reaction all the same. People screaming about their rights to free speech. Funny that. Sarkozy didn't waste any time in arresting for anti semitism John Galliano in a Paris cafe when he exercised his rights to free speech. Who was outraged and burning candles for him? You see it's all so hypocritical. John Mc cain could have been the one who supplied these so called islamists when they were in Syria last year. It's confusing now isn't it for Westerners knowing what rebels are the good ones and what ones are the bad ones and who to arm and who not too. Gaddafi and Assad were right. The USA and it's allies were arming 'rats and cockroaches and Al Qaeda'. Their citizens fell in line with the Western media and now they seem to be realising that Gaddafi and Assad were right all along and the Americans and Israelis and French and British were stirring a hornets nest in backing insane salafist groups. they knew exactly what they were doing. The USA still refuse to back El Sisi in declaring the MB a terrorist group even though they know full well they are terrorists.
No pink top hat, all the people they killed were muslims. hell as far as you are concerned i am a muslim. hell as far as you are concerned i am god (or alah as you put it). now back off and stop justifying evil!

Try shouting some anti semitic slogans in Paris cafes and see how quick they arrest you. See how much they respect your crucial rights. It's all bull****.
You can freely make fun of Jews in Paris, there is a wealth of hilarious cartoons related to Judaeism, hate speach and the freedom to draw cartoons are different things. Shouting anti-semitic slogans is not making fun.

Western governments have undoubtedly contributed to the problems we are now seeing. Yeah, it's complicated.

But I still don't want some religious nutter setting off a bomb on a train, or spraying AK fire all over the place.

It's incredible what double-standards go on in the world depending on the situational views that comfort the onlooker during such outbreaks.
PEGIDA have been shunned by the left-wing as, quite frankly, racists. Yet, we see Charlie Hebdo, a highly offensive weekly magazine, being commended as an organization that stands for "free speech" and upholds "Western" values. Why can people not make up their minds instead of being mindless drones?

Yes. An attempt to intimidate the free press? Undermine democratic values? I would like to understand but I don't think I ever will.

Like I said in another post, I don't know enough about these satirical mags etc........ I've never even bought a Private Eye.

It's time that I had a look about to discover how many there are, and what kind of limit which they might set upon themselves.

I bet you a kit-kat and cuppa that the UK is positively 'nice' compared to some European outfits. Well, we are, aren't we........ I hope so.

It's pretty simple. Armed bands of assassins imposing their sense of justice for perceived violations of their value systems, no matter what those are, have no place in civilized societies which have appropriate systems to govern themselves, such as checking hate speech and whatnot. They are not the appointed judges in that society. And if they don't like the government, then they need to find another country where they can rule as warlords through oppression and fear.

They are a threat to all within a free society, and need to be removed, one way or another. What this is is a war on civilization by those ill-suited to participate in one. It is an attempt to overthrow modern systems of governance and turn back societies to the time of warlords. It is not about the religion like rape isn't about sex. It's about seeking power over others. They are in effect simply rapists.

It's these guys who've been to Syria and Iraq to fight and kill every other religion there is as well as Muslims who are smarter than they are.

This brings up a question that has been on my mind. Suppose you are sitting in a restaurant and a masked man dressed in black comes in screaming "Allahu Akbar", do you feel you would be justified in taking this guy out with a chair, steak knife, or any other weapon you could put your hands on-- just in case?
If a man with a face mask ran into a restaurant shouting anything I'd probably be freaking out. If a man sat down at the table beside me and said "Allahu akbar" over his food, to a companion or on the phone in a normal tone of voice, I wouldn't freak out.
See the difference?

Most likely because the morons that carry out these atrocities have a tendency to say it.... repeatedly...
It really is more in the how than the what.
It was "oh by the way wink wink". If you want to make a point about Islam, just say it, don't dance around it.

The motive is clear, there is an agenda to fulfill WW3 in the middle east. :(

Oh, come on. Surely you must have noticed that these lunatics have a penchant for screaming "Allahu Akbar" at the drop of a hat.
One must assume that somewhere Islam is involved in their thinking. To pretend that there is no connection to Islam worth noting is somewhat bizarre. To cast aspersions on folks who notice this penchant, as if there is something wrong with their taking note, is inane, if not outright dangerous thinking.

Besides, noting they yelled "God is great" while merrily rampaging the area adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the comment. In simpler terms, "A group of deranged fanatics stormed a building, killing many occupants, while yelling God is great."

You don't think the utter starkness of the contrast is worthy of note? Seriously?
