So far I find I have a lot in common with the Maoist Communist
Party of France (CPmF), with their article in; Killing
Charlie Hebdo: face all the reactionaries with revolutionary unity!
On one hand they made the point that the magazine
contributed to Islamophobia. But killing them was an unjustifiable and barbaric
act. In no way should we show any sympathy for the attackers in this crime. The
people behind this are reactionary and represent a backward form of politics
that can never help people escape imperialism and oppression of the bourgeois
system.
While the US is the main imperialist power dueling ISIS over
pieces of the empire in the middle-east, France has plaid its part in this. In
no way should we ban together with the bourgeois talking heads who shed crocodile
tears over these deaths.
CPmF is right that progressive people should unite against
both imperialism and reactionary religious groups who promote false promises of
liberation.
Now that I have looked at some leftist reactions, let’s look
at a few idiotic quotes from the rightà

“Even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris. (For all the wrong reasons.) Obama couldn't do it for right reasons”

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz took his own swipe at the president Monday and penned
an editorial in Time titled "Our President Should Have Been There."
"The absence is symbolic of the lack of American
leadership on the world stage, and it is dangerous," Cruz wrote
MSN—
…..On Monday's Daily Show, Stewart mocked the media mogul
for tweeting last week that Muslims "must be held responsible" for
the Paris terror attack on satire magazine Charlie Hebdo's offices.
Murdoch wrote that the blame should fall on all Muslims "until they
recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer."
Stewart began the segment by referring to Murdoch as
"his excellency from the republic of Media Conglomistad," saying:
"He has spoke-tweeted."
"Moderate Muslims, until you have completely wiped
Islamic extremists from this earth, this s---'s on you," Stewart said,
adopting Murdoch's apparent point of view.
The host said that Murdoch believes everyone in a group
should be responsible for illegal activity by the other members of that group,
"except if the criminal acts are newspapers hacking dead people's phone,
and if the head of that newspaper company is [Murdoch himself]." This is a
reference to the hacking scandal that was primarily centered on Murdoch's
now-defunct News of the World.
Alternet—South Carolina
Senator Lindsey Graham used the occasion to fan the flames of a Crusades-like
religious war. What a great idea! "It's not an attack on our homeland, but
it's definitely an attack on our way of life," Graham told conservative radio
host Hugh Hewitt. "There’s a perfect storm brewing to have this country
hit again."
He also urged President Obama to “take sides!” And, what
exactly? Declare war on Islam? "We’re in a religious war," Graham
bloviated.

JE SUIS CHARLIE: This is a 2011 cover of French satirical
magazine Charlie Hebdo. It was the magazine's response to being firebombed. The
caption “L’amour: Plus fort que la haine,” translates to “Love: Stronger than
hate.” On Wednesday, terrorists killed 12 and injured eight in the newspaper’s
offices in retaliation for ongoing cartoons about ISIS and Islam. - See more
