Drop the bullshit politics. Muslims have big problems on their hands and if they don't address them it will spiral more out of control.

There's no room in the modern world for this type of behavior from a religious sect and nobody of any belief will tolerate it.

That list doesn't even address extremists going into their own countries and holding their own people hostage. Let's get real about it and have a conversation or let's continue to have some sort of philosophical argument about racism and Arabs. I choose to get real because real people lost their lives and real people continue to lose their lives.

Anything else is disingenuous.

Al Qaeda claims French attack, derides Paris rally

(Reuters) - Al Qaeda in Yemen has claimed responsibility for the attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, saying it was ordered by the Islamist militant group's leadership for insults to the Prophet Mohammad, according to a video posted on YouTube.

Gunmen killed 17 people in three days of violence that began when they shot staff in Charlie Hebdo's offices last week in revenge for the publication of satirical images of the Prophet.

One Western source said no hard evidence of a direct operational link to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had yet been found.

But it was the first time that a group had officially claimed responsibility for the attack, which was led by Cherif and Said Kouachi, two French-born brothers of Algerian extraction who had visited Yemen in 2011.

In Washington, a State Department spokeswoman said the United States believed the video was authentic but officials were still determining if the claim of responsibility is true.

Ansi said the "one who chose the target, laid the plan and financed the operation is the leadership of the organization", without naming an individual.

"ZAWAHRI'S ORDERS"

He added that the strike had been carried out in "implementation" of the order of overall al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, who has urged Muslims to attack the West using any means they can find.

Ansi also gave credit for the operation to slain AQAP propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, a preacher cited by one of the gunmen in remarks to French media as a financier of the attack.

Meh, I feel like they are just claiming credit because no one else did. "Yeah, yeah we thought of the idea! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

Waiting so long to claim credit is not their style, nor is this typical of their tactics.

AQAP are the Winklevoss twins of terror attacks.

After all of the attacks on mosques, etc following the Paris terror attack, looks like we have our first Muslim killing to transpire from the anti-Islam marches. This one in Dresden. Khaled Idris Bahray.

That is unfortunate.

What do you suggest the French should do?

Again, what did any of that have to do with what I posted? Does it offend you that I even dare bring up an innocent kid dying in Germany after an anti-Muslim march? Did he deserve to die? I posted because it's blowback from the French attack... Aka on topic.

Okay JSS.. let's get real..

What do you want to do about it? You cited Saudi Arabia... What do you want to do about them beheading a woman in the street? Guess what, they behead dozens of men and women every year...

So.... what is it that you want done?

[The Human Q-Tip]

Regarding the deliberately isolating themselves comment: Isolating themselves why?

It could be for any number of reasons. Certainly, it's easier and probably more pleasant to hang with people with whom you share a language, culture, religion, interests, etc.. Even in the U.S., people of different ethnic/religious groups are more likely to congregate together. It could also be if you're part of a religion that believes the conduct of non-believers to be generally immoral, maybe with familial pressures playing a role. For example, some people may not believe it appropriate to marry or even date people outside their religion/culture/ethnic group.

And, it could also be if members of the majority simply are not welcoming.

My point is that probably all of that is at work in France to some extent, and the problem is that those behaviors on both sides can be mutually reinforcing.

You do raise a very good point regarding the speed to which cultures are brought together. It undoubtedly complicates things, and it does contribute to the desire to isolate. And if so, then governments/immigrant populations need to think about what can done to make the situation better. The expectation should not be the other should unilaterally take action.

Right. It's a two-sided problem. BUT, I'll also say there can come a point that regardless of the initial causes of that isolation/segregation, there comes a point where you have to deal with the situation as it currently exists. You can't really unwind it based on "who started it" because the individuals who "started it" may be long gone. Blame for causing the initial breach is irrelevant.

At some point, you've just got to sit down and devise rules of acceptable conduct. There must be tolerance -- as in not using physical violence -- even if there isn't acceptance or respect, and even if you have hatred/disdain.

It sounds like the most likely case. The only thing that makes me suspect it could have Al Queda involved is cos these 2 brothers were in the no fly list in the US and one of the brothers apparently received training from Al Queda.

That is true. They were trained in Yemen by AQAP.
