  • Sharpening Contradictions: Why al-Qaeda attacked Satirists in Paris

      After every such tragedy, we always hear the same platitudes from politicians of all Governments.
      I do see a connection... and it is not religion.
      Religion is the pretext for this revolt, aka terrorism.
      The real reason is the ongoing pillaging of countries by the West and Europe, for their natural resources, aka oil, and leaving the country in tatters... It is called Capitalism at any cost to society...
