1. Charlie Hebdo gunmen ‘surrounded’ as special forces and police helicopters close in on French town after two men ‘armed with Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers’ rob petrol station

Two armed suspects wanted over the Charlie Hebdo massacre have been surrounded by terror police in northern France, according to reports.

The men, believed to be brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, are thought to have barricaded themselves into a house in the town of Crépy-en-Valois, around 80km north-east of Paris, it was reported by some French media.

Other reports suggest investigators are instead combing an area measuring roughly 20km by 15km around the town in search of the suspects.

Officers are also said to have found a Molotov cocktail bomb and jihadist flag in their abandoned car, according to Le Figaro.

Bruno Fortier, the mayor Crepy-en-Valois, said helicopters were circling his town and police and anti-terrorism forces were deploying en masse.

‘It’s an incessant waltz of police cars and trucks,’ he told Reuters, adding that he could not confirm reports the men were holed up in a house in the area.

(As I understand it, this means that there have been three events today, January 8, in France alone so far. A street sweeper and police woman shot, and a bomb at a kabob shop.)

3. Marine Le Pen, rational pro-enlightenment politician, calls for death penalty for terrorists

I personally believe that the death penalty should exist in our legal arsenal,” Le Pen told television channel France 2.

  2. Merkel praises ties with Muslims as Germans voice fears

    BERLIN: Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a fresh call for tolerance Thursday as a poll showed a growing majority of Germans see Islam as a threat and an anti-immigrant group said the Paris massacre underscored its stance.

    “We have very good ties with the vast majority of Muslims in Germany. All have been clear in their statements on terrorist attacks,” she said.

    She acknowledged that there were also “unfortunately some individuals in Germany” who had “joined the jihadists” and said the country must maintain existing security measures.

    “We do everything we can so that people of every faith — be they Jewish, Christian, Muslim or of no religion at all — will be protected in the same way.”

  3. IS beheads Syria imam for ‘insulting Allah’: Monitor

    The Islamic State (IS) group beheaded Thursday a Syrian imam, or mosque prayer leader, for “insulting Allah,” a monitoring group said.

    “The IS executed the imam of a mosque from the village of Abu Khuyut near Hasakeh city (in northeastern Syria) at dawn Thursday,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

    The Britain-based Observatory added that three of the mans’s sons were IS fighters, and that it was the first time the jihadists executed a religious official for this reason.

    The man was detained after watching a video on executions carried out by IS and cursing because Allah had permitted them, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.

    The IS carries out near-daily executions in the territories of Syria and Iraq that it controls.

    Originating in Iraq, it appeared in Syria’s civil war in spring 2013, and has since committed some of the conflict’s worst abuses.

  4. TUNISIA – Extremists Slit Throat of Tunisian Police Officer

    Associated Press

    Tunisia’s Interior Ministry says that Islamist extremists have slit the throat of a police officer and knifed him in the heart as he returned from work.

    A ministry statement said the officer was attacked early Sunday on his way home in a rural zone in Zaghouan, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Tunis.

    A spokesman for the union overseeing security, Mounir Khemili, said the attackers also used a saber to cut off a finger of his right hand.

    In December, a National Guard member was beheaded in Kef near the Algerian border where security forces have been fighting extremists holed up in the mountains

    Marine Le Pen is correct. Islamic terrorists should be interrogated until they are no longer useful, then hanged in public, ten-at-a-time. They are an obscenity. The media and the government and the left wing and the Muslims and most of the Christian leaders including the bloody Pope, are all conspiring to keep us in the dark, but the truth is that we are now engaged in World War Three and there’s nothing we can do about it except lose or win.

    We must now learn to openly hate our Islamist enemies and to rejoice with glad hearts at the sight of them dancing at the end of the hangman’s rope. President Le Pen needs to put together a coalition force of the meanest special forces guys from around the world, fund them generously, and set them loose on the enemy until they are all either dead or permanently discouraged. That’s what needs to happen. Now!

    Oh, and maybe we should stop letting tens-of-thousands of Muslims into our countries. It’s just a thought…

  6. Hannity vs Anjem Choudary On Islam, Sharia Law, Paris 1/7/15

    « Paris Shows ‘Consequences’ of Insulting Islam »

    • I’ve always wondered if perhaps our Anjem isn’t just a little too honest for his own good, or at least for the good of the Islamic movement. Will his abundant “honesty” be the clumsy foot that trips the trigger that awakens the sleeping Infidel giant and marks the beginning of the end for the Islamists? One can only hope. Anjem is so wonderfully, vibrantly, enthusiastically irritating…
