diga Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 10 people, French prosecutors say. Witnesses spoke of sustained gunfire at the office as the attackers opened fire with assault rifles. The satirical weekly has courted controversy in the past with its take on news and current affairs. Its latest tweet was a cartoon of the Islamic State militant group leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. An eyewitness, Benoit Bringer, told French TV channel Itele: "Two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs. A few minutes later we heard lots of shots." The men were then seen fleeing the building. "It's carnage," French police official Luc Poignant told another French channel, BFMTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaban Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Can we trust our media, which raised hell over PK, to reprint the offending material of Charlie Hebdo as a show of solidarity? And if they cannot, can they really claim they stand for a free, impartial press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachin=GOD Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If the aim of such despicable and cowardly attacks is to show that their leader is strong then these people are absolute fools because such attacks only show that the leader is so weak that even a cartoon can shake him badly hence the need to kill people connected to the cartoon/magazine.

b555 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Cabu and Charb supposedly died in the attack, the latest reports say. This is the drawing Charb published in this week's issue: It reads : "Still no terrorist attack in France", and the terrorist says "Wait, we have until the end of january to present our wishes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomGuy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I wonder how the people who call themselves moderate followers of the religion of peace convince themselvs tht they wanna call themselves even a moderate follower of such a faith when they see such incidents happening all over the world on a daily basis... I saw a widely circulated pic of lord ganesha Jesus buddha etc having sex with each other on internet. As expected, there was no noice since the messenger of the religion of peace wasn't included in the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalia_Test Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 What I really don't understand is - We in India have no choice but European countries and US/Canada,etc have options in terms of limiting this damage by immigration laws....They know the problem for sure ( enough incidents for them not to know ) and all they have to do is not let it in...Whatever is already in will be easier to handle provided you stop the trickling in... Why the hell don't they stop this at the root level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
