Try taking a look around the world. Are Boko Haram trying to provoke anything?

they're just brain dead people who think their actions will being everyone to their knees.

they just need exterminating. or put into a hospital where they can get help with their mental state.

Section in bold is the preferred option. The Libs will want them kept alive and jailed so they can do there time and then they can be released back into the community as fit citizens .

Unfortunately that does not work with religious nut jobs who kill in the name of there God. The only way to deal with them is put them down like you would a rabid animal.

I feel sorry for the law abiding people who wish no harm on anyone but will be targeted now because of these religious nut jobs.

No person who genuinely recognises the humanity of their fellow citizens, or who is remotely interested in the good of society at large or for any section of society, could ever justify this terrorism. Reading words and seeing images that satirise your beliefs is as far removed from a warrant to murder as it is possible to get.

Europe has a tradition of humanism, in which both freedom of expression, and freedom of thought and belief, including freedom of religion, are respected and upheld in law. To criticise beliefs, including through satire and ridicule, does not contravene others’ freedom of belief. Rather, criticism is essential to freedom of expression. Murder on the other hand is the ultimate nullification of all a person’s freedoms and being.

It is our true hope that Europe will neither bow to this violence, nor rise to it. We will not be provoked into an equal savagery. We will resist all terror, and we will defend freedom of thought and expression: essential values for free and meaningful lives.

Not much more to add to that. We must neither appease, as we may have been guilty of, or respond in kind.

We're better than that, and the Islamo-fascists who perpetrated this vile act.

So one side continues the killings, other violent acts and, non violent acts that are taking over aspects of the countries, while the victims have to just let them?

I didn't say anything about letting them and specifically said I was not in favour of appeasement.

I'm not in favour of genocide either though, hence the comment about not responding in kind.

No.

You go after the killers. You don't go after innocent Muslims.

Agreed but when you do get hold of them you make sure they can NEVER do it again and in my eyes there is only one SURE way of doing that and that is to put them down.

Given how much they yearn for their 'paradise' putting them down will be giving them exactly what they want.

France doesn't have the death penalty.

I have friends who live in Paris and work in various areas of security and the one thing, aside from the evident professionalism with which this attack has been carried out, that is intriguing them is the fact that there is no evidence of an attempt at suicide on the part of the perpetrators. That's quite alarming as it would suggest they have more in store for the people of Paris and, in all probability, further afield.

Fine by me at least they can NEVER do it again, the same cannot be said for jail as they could be released to do it again in the future.

IIRC the 7/7 bombers were called "nice" guys before the bombings. All those who have joined ISIS etc, were probably/mostly considered "nice" guys. Then consider incidents in Rotherham, Rochdale and around the country. If these are examples of the nice guys then.............
