Je Suis Charlie

In a scene reminiscent from a DVD box set two or three lunatics murdered in cold blood a number of people in broad daylight in the centre of Paris.

As of writing, they haven't been arrested but we know they were on the "radar" of jihadism and known to the security services

Its a dark day for people in general, the threat from lunatics with guns is ever more present and the back lash will be disproportionate. Or will it? Russia / Ukraine mangaged to shoot down a passenger jet without a reprimand. Procol Harum in Nigeria are kidnapping schoolchildren on a regular basis, whereas the lunatics in Pakistan are just killing them with impunity.

And what is the point of all this? Murders are carried out in the name of God but God isnt listening, God would not allow this to go on. And who has the rights to God. What about the God of the people at Charlie Hebdo?

I am sickened by the fact the lunatics see Charlie Hebdo as a legitimate target. All they did was take the piss out of your beliefs. They killed no-one, harmed no-one. If you want legimate targets seek those that are willing to fight back. Or try entering the political arena like the rest of the world.

Jihadists need to get a sense of humour. This is the 21st century not the new crusade. Not the new dark age.

It scares me that this will fuel the far right, currently in popularity in Germany and France.

It also scares me that this will fuel politicians' over zealous need to protect us and bring in more anti terrror legislation to take away our remaing liberties.

My thoughts go out to all the ill in the world today.
