Yep typical vapid response. Its not like France is not generally seen as western or secular by the Islamic world, or has a history of Terrorism directed against for all kinds of its actions in the past. Seeing as the target was reports and paper, not the government I say Well I guess one has to risk something to have an open Western society in a world were there a lot idiots and nut jobs.

France "liberated" Libya once overthrowing Qaddafi. Now that islamists gain strength after the chaos west created there they want to bomb Libya again

Which would imply a political target.

Libya and Mali have nothing to do with this. This has everything to do with a bunch of religious extremists with their panties in a bunch over a depiction of the prophet Muhammed in this particular satirical newspaper, which by the way pokes fun at everyone (Jews, Christians, atheists, politicians, celebrities, etc.), not just prophets or Muslims. Some members of the latter group, however, are the only ones willing to shoot the place up in revenge for a drawing, due to the taboo of any depiction of Muhammed, whether it is funny or reverent.

Wow you really have no idea what this is about. An early contestant for "Most idiotic post of 2015".

[Nicov55]

yeah...right.
Maybe you'd rather have us to accept having islamic republics qettling everywhere at our doorsteps. We will fight these insane people everywhere and we will prevail. We may have done and we may yet do mistakes but i believe we must get the world free from that islamofacism cancer. Democracy will always beat idiotic theocratic morons from the middle age.

I know it's late to correct that, that it's not very important and quite off topic by now, but that disturbs me for several reasons...

First, things like that with different dates have been repeated frequently since yesterday and most were wrong and then, terrorist attacks in France in 1945 ?
Are we talking about the resistance there ?

Anyway, it is not.

The deadliest terrorist attack in France is still (and will stay for a long time hopefully) the attack on the train Paris-Strasbourg in 1961 by the OAS (Secret Army Organisation) a far right terrorist group with links in the army and who supported the war in Algeria rather than the independance. There were 28 deaths and over 100 injured.

Confirmed. 11 people killed, included 2 policemen, and several other wounded.

The attack was at the office of a satyric newspaper, which publish some "offensive" cartoon (for islamist) in the past.

And apparently one of the attacker "Allah is avenged"

[Yayattasa]

Not only to islamists, they also published cartoons deemed offensive by christians in general, catholics, jews, right-wing and left-wing adherents, etc.

yes, but I doubt the terrorists attacked them because they made cartoons offensive for jews. Some foreign medias even call Charlie Hebdo a sionist newspaper...

[Steph]

Not the point. You tried to make it seem like only muslims are offended by their cartoons when in fact you know well it isn't true.

You missed the point. iI'm not speaking about a general case, but about this specific attack.

The muslims who are offended think they are the only one offended by the cartoons. Evidence: Some labelled the newspaper sionist while it also make "anti jews" cartoons.
So the attack from the terrorists was only because of muslim cartoons. They didn't care about the other religion/group targeted by the newspaper.
They shouted "we avange the prophet, allah ackbar", not "we avenge every religion, all the gods are great.
