It is a massive bloodbath and a attack on freedom of speech and will have consequences. This terror attack shows the attackers and their faith in a bad light. It is like "putting oil in fire" for some german folks known as PEGIDA.
My toughts are by the victims 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Per my rant (elsewhere): attacks on Freedom of Speech by the Islamic world are apparently quite successful.
Recall the Mohammed cartoon events?
And USA theaters + SONY bending over for it? SONY found a back door but terror won (again).

You reap what you sow and I'm not talking about publishing the cartoons which, as someone else has pointed out, should now be the front page of every media outlet.

None of this matters. It doesn't matter that some Muslims aren't terrorists. The non-Muslim world has generally come to view ALL muslims as terrorists. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.
The only safe play is to assume that's a correct viewpoint, and act/prepare accordingly. If you don't, you're already 75% victim.
Yeah, it's a damn shame to feel this way, but it is what it is.

Now that is one dangerous generalization.

Do you mean, if you do not assume or if you are not prepared to it?

Like it or not, the world is a dangerous place. To walk around with your head in the clouds assuming the human race will come to its senses and suddenly start being tolerant and nice, you're gonna wind up dead. I'm not being cynical, I'm being pragmatic. Well, maybe I'm just a little cynical...
I choose not to be a victim. If someone runs at mean shouting allahu akbar, I will not hesitate to introduce them to the virgins they've been promised.

My view on this?
If the "rest of the Muslim world" is so OK, then let them clean their house.
Until then, I presume a-nod-and-a-wink.*

Well - after Europe cowed with the publication of Muhammad cartoon (amongst other things) and rewarded Hamas by 'recognizing statehood' as a reward for getting thousands killed for political gains, and, in general showing a lack of character, what do you expect? Don't you get it? These attacks are the equivalent of rockets from Gaza.
All that's missing, since it's Europe, is someone being apologetic with the standard "this is not representative of Islam" line.
Two routes appear before you now, admittedly not civilized options, but you're on the brink of basically an Anschluss by occupying forces. And "civilized" is a cultural thing and there are two cultures at war.
Either stand up and clean out the vermin and their overseas supporters,
Or save some time and institute sharia law now.
Sometimes, unphilosophical as it may be, you must chose to Either Live in Fear or Be Feared.

I choose "Be Feared".

No - never even heard of it.
I simply pay attention to the actions. To the words.
And also, to the silences.
International news media seems to bend over backwards with appeasement. I observe this over and over. The governments, particularly in Europe, are appraising their situation and, for all intents and purposes, cowering at that situation.
As presented on a number of news discussions, in France, they don't even call terrorists "terrorists" when they arrest them: lest the citizens be panicked?
Years ago, I made a prediction about using motor vehicles in a coordinated attack by driving into crowds. That, it seems, has come to be. I had another prediction: adding poisons to packaged food at the factory. I'd love to be wrong about that. You have no idea how much I'd love to be wrong.
At the risk of yet another 'Abuse' vote, I will note that an Islamic Revolution has been in effect for many years now. Previously it manifested in more third-world-ish countries in the form of separatist movements. Now, it appears, we're on the verge of it moving on to bigger things.

Can't disagree with anything you said.
But I'm sure others will figure out a way.

Yeah, and they abandoned the car in my sister-in-law's neighborhood.

There was an excellent interview with the political cartoonist Martin Rowson on the BBC's rolling coverage. He said that the notion that Charlie Hebdo brought this on themselves by their provocative reporting was extremely offensive. It is the duty of everyone to laugh at those whose response to criticism or satire is to resort to terrorism and violence.
The suggestion that those cartoons should be published on the front page of every newspaper and website is an excellent one.

A thoughtful Scottish husband was putting his coat and hat on to make his way down to the local pub.
He turned to his wee wife before leaving and said,’ Maggie - put your hat and coat on, lassie.’
She replied, 'Awe Jock that's nice are you taking me tae the pub with you?’
'Nay,’ Jock replied ‘I'm turning the heat off while I'm out.'

About two years back I had developed a very rough App called "Gestop". The ideas was to have a 3D gesture controlled desktop and controlling every app through gesture.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbA55znyGXA[^]
After posting this video, I really got some brutal thrashing in the forum, being ridiculed for fantasizing something that would never be a reality.
And this January laptops are launched with the same concept. Of course the technology is much improved, the control is way too smooth but the seed of the idea is now a plant. And it's only going to grow by every day!

( Watch between 30 sec to 45 sec).
So posting it in the same forum!!!!!
