Je Suis Charlie

The news today has filled me with a level of anger that is overwhelming. An incandescent rage. That three individuals heavily armed perpetrated this most heinous of crimes against innocents and brutally murdered ten French nationals including two policemen. These three terrorists have paved their own road to perdition and will suffer eternal damnation. This act will undoubtedly lead to reprisals. This was not a religious act. this had nothing to do with faith. It had everything to do with hatred and with extreme fundamentalism. This was cold, calculated murder. There is no room in my faith for such violence

Je suis Charlie. I stand in solidarity with France, my French friends and all those who abhor such barbaric behaviour.


President Francois Hollande said it was a terrorist act "of exceptional barbarism". In a somber address to the nation tonight, Hollande pledged to hunt down the killers, and pleaded with his compatriots to come together in a time of insecurity and suspicion.

The hearts and minds of the peaceful and free World are with France tonight....
