Classy.
You are aware that "anti terrorism" is a political argument?

Outstanding."It's capitalism, stupid."
There is no such thing as a non-political argument. This protest itself is an argument. And it is very political.Getting in political arguments while the world tries to send a message about anti terrorism.

Or basically you no empirical evidence to argue witv and can probably only post poorly sourced articles that make vague connections.I have no desire to argue with you about states that have been proven to sponsor terrorism and use slave labor in the 21st century.
This is absolutely untrue.
Damn, last number is 4M trough all the country (ITélé)

Disagree. There's no real political position on terrorism . Its more of a human rights argument than anything superficial like politics.You are aware that "anti terrorism" is a political argument?
See the people that are using this as a case for freedom of speech, rationalization for the continued war on terror, anti immigration policy, etc.
There's actually a huge Wikipedia page about this affair, and it doesn't even get into details.As someone already posted:
2) There were internal discords in the journal itself.

as long as the US is in bed with Saudi oil; they will continue to be a big contradiction of being anti-terrorist but still buying oil from an opressive regime that is currupt and supports terrorist activity at the same time.
Bush stated after 9/11 the phrase described the policy that the United States had the right to secure itself against countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups
11 out of the 15 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi Arabians. Saudi Arabia funneled money to ISIS and Sunni rebels in Syria.
It's total hypocrisy that you keep making business with the very same corrupt Saudi regime that sponsors terrorism

Seeing people united for peace is truly beautiful.
World War here we come.
I'd say that's probably true to some extent, at least recently (that was definitively untrue thirty years ago, curiously, so that may be a little more complex than a WW II consequence).That was my experience living 22 years in France at least.
Try to do dark humor about black or maghrebin people.
Then try the same joke with jews.
People tend to be more defensive and attentionate about jews, probably because WWII.

People tend to be more defensive and attentionate about jews, probably because WWII. Which doesn't mean there aren't jokes/satires made at their expense; but you are very fast branded with antisemitism, even if it isn't your point at all. Which isn't helped by actual antisemits that sadly still remain.
They were attained thru a colloquial acceptance of said rights, not politics. There's stout differences between the two. Politics and law only codify things but they are literally only paper thin without social acceptance.lol. Human rights were attained through political actions, and they are maintained through immense political power in the west. You do not understand the nature of politics.
Why is CNN talking about Jews?
Why is CNN talking about Jews?
On my way back I checked a few newsfeed and read that people had friendly chatters with the policemen in charge of security, there were even chants to thank them. That's the second miracle of the day, especially when you know the usual tensions with the police in demonstration. The old 68ers from Charlie Hebdo would have probably hated it, just like they would have hated the Marseillaise chants or the whole consensual march. But it's something we needed at this time, and a rare occurence in the country. We usually talk a lot about liberty and equality in such events, but it's the first time I've witnessed fraternity. It feels good.
May I ask why you are saying this?
Can I call a friend? ^_^a) Because 4 Jews were killed in the terrorist attack
b) Because there is currently a ceremony in the Great Synagogue
c) Because they own the media
d) All of the above
I wish I went to Paris... even if it was nice everywhere.Phew, finaly back from the march. It was quite an experience, although I mosty realized it on my way back. [...] It feels good.
You're talking about "legitimate power." Which is essentially a manifest power structure that has been accepted by society. At one point, the power structure was created through an "exercise of power" (like the US and French Revolutions- and the subsequent drafting of their Constitutions, and the US Civil War and the Amendments that followed it) which is what politics is.They were attained thru a colloquial acceptance of said rights, not politics.

It's how we still have racism post Civil Rights
Act. Or how we still have voter oppression post Voting Rights act.
I'd like to think I have a great sense of how social constructs such as law or politics affect society.
Wikipedia said:In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence or control the behavior of people. The term authority is often used for power perceived as legitimate by the social structure. Power can be seen as evil or unjust, but the exercise of power is accepted as endemic to humans as social beings. In the corporate environment, power is often expressed as upward or downward. With downward power, a company's superior influences subordinates. When a company exerts upward power, it is the subordinates who influence the decisions of the leader.[1]
Wikipedia said:Power may be held through:
- Authority
- Delegated authority (for example in the democratic process)
- Social class (material wealth can equal power)
- Resource currency (material items such as money, property, food)
- Personal or group charisma (including public opinion)
- Ascribed power (acting on perceived or assumed abilities, whether these bear testing or not)
- Expertise (ability, skills) (the power of medicine to bring about health; another famous example would be "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king" – Desiderius Erasmus)
- Persuasion (direct, indirect, or subliminal)
- Knowledge (granted or withheld, shared or kept secret)
- Force (law) (violence, military might, coercion).
- Moral persuasion (including religion)
- Operation of group dynamics (such as public relations)
- Social influence of tradition (compare ascribed power)

(all 4 in the shop were jews, btw?)
On a similar matter, seeing how Charlie Hebdo was secularist at heart, and attacked as often as possible catholics, I found quite... strange? ironic? (can't find the term) the main Paris church saluting them with bells...

In all interaction between humans, politics and political power exists.

Our poor prime minister (Denmark) fell down the stairs, thankfully she's okay.
And I'm so happy to see us people stand so united in dark times like these. I'm so sad about what happened in France.

This picture is pretty epic:
Having all these people out in the streets in every parts of the world is heartwarming. Having so many officials marching together too. That said...
I really hope Charlie will mock them all with all their heart in their next edition. Make fun of how Leaders can only march together when caricaturists die, of how so many of the marching foreign leaders have no freedom of press, or have lèse-majesté laws. Or how they were able to put millions people in the street in their name but were still struggling selling 50 000 copies of their journal as of last week. Or how so many news outlets gave Charlie credit yet without showing the controversial covers. So much material. Don't fail me Charlie Hebdo, the world will read your next 1million edition. Make it count. Offend us.
That's one for the history books. Amazing. Shame on the people trying to make this about something it's not "fake national unity." Yea ok.This picture is pretty epic:
