  • Sharpening Contradictions: Why al-Qaeda attacked Satirists in Paris
    • dave 01/08/2015 at 7:17 am

      there are gradations of everything .........an attack on a school full of kids would be condemned worldwide?....maybe so....but the terrorists who attacked the school in pakistan felt justified because they saw it as legitimate target because the kids were children of the military.......any fanatic can come up with any justification...especially if theyre pointed in the right direction.....
      if there was a genuine uprising of muslims worldwide you would be seeing a lot more lone wolf activity.......because most of what we see is planned and organised i'm led to believe that there are
      people for whom this chaos is in their best interests........follow the money...thats where the power is......check out the conceptual artist who has been advising putin for the last 15 years....vladislav surkov.....hes performing live on a daily basis in front of millions of people...and hes getting away with it.....i think attacks like this are
      part of a much bigger deception being practiced worldwide...and no...i'm not a conspiracy theorist......
