US president Barack Obama has called a summit of American allies to discuss the best ways to stop violent extremism.
In a statement announcing the summit, the White House cited recent attacks in Sydney, Ottawa and Paris as providing the impetus.
The summit would aim to highlight American and international efforts to prevent violent extremists and supporters from radicalising, recruiting or inspiring individuals or groups to carry out further attacks.
A reply to: @JBOMBER regarding QuoteLinkA reply to: @Daytripper regarding QuoteLinkIts almost nearly all over. The terrorists have won as far as I'm concerned. The Hebdo attack will ensure that nobody will dare to be critical of Islam going forward. Has anyone from our 'fearless' media republished those cartoons that were responsible? I would have thought that was newsworthy and in context.Of course they haven’t.
The Paris turnout means nothing and achieves little (if anything). The meek West will become even meeker with their desire to appease as they know now there are real life consequences.
Sword 1
Pen 0Have to agree. The cartoons should have been plastered all over every newspaper, TV & network in the world as a sign of how pathetic the attack was. “Killed for this” should have been the catchcry but as you say the media en-masse have been weak as ■■■■.
If the cartoons were not against our own laws, then maybe they would have.
Might want to consider that a large part of these hysterically amusing cartoons are obscene, and not for children to witness, so maybe keep them to adult magazines.
As it is those cartoons have received far more notoriety in the wake of the carnage, and have been seen by tens of millions more people by now, than they ever would have been if this massacre had not taken place. The following article is a decent summation of things as they now stand.

Muslims don't need terrorist to ruin the brand. It's application at state level does enough of hat. Just take an average day being a blogger in Saudi Arabia or a woman caught with a non-related man in her house in Aceh, Indonesia.
Are numbers in those countries dropping? Sure to many westerners repeated examples of how outdated the religion is, further
ensures we would never consider becoming muslim but my question is, does it have the same effect in those countries? Are more Muslims leaving the religion, are more becoming radicalised or is it really have no effect?

If the mainstream media not doing what I would personally like them to do means terrorism has won, then they won a long time ago.
I’m not sure it was ever a terrorist goal to have the media disappoint you in particular though, and if you haven’t seen (certainly one of) the cartoon in question in the media then I can only imagine you weren’t paying much attention.
I find your assertion by turns both bewildering, ignorant and borderline offensive, all three in different ways.
There’s the peculiar idea that nobody dares be critical of this religion, when you will find so much of it in this thread. I won’t say without fear of reprisal, but that reprisal involves people disagreeing with them (and for the record I’ll say it again, places that are under the power of Islam are oppressive, misogynistic (and real misogyny…not the namby-pamby you called her a bitch for taking all your shit in the divorce misogyny we have in the West) and brutal).
Anyway, finish your latte and get active, brother!
Start a blog, and don’t forget your hashtags.
Maybe you could get the downtrodden masses to march on Spencer St, or perhaps Cronulla, to complain about your impending oppression.

Or the eighth commandment…
I’m confused as to how you think Smote providing an example of a concept is ridiculing you.
There’s no such thing as “free speech” anyway. Ask any defamation lawyer…

Well, it may be obvious, but I’ll point it out anyway. Defending so-called ‘free speech’ by ridiculing/intimidating or belittling those you disagree with is not exactly a self-supporting method of argument.

Hezbollah Chief: Extremists Harm Islam More Than CartoonsByASSOCIATED PRESSPublishedJANUARY 9, 2015, 11:34 AM EST
BEIRUT (AP) — The leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah group says Islamic extremists have insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammad more than those who published satirical cartoons mocking the religion.
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah did not directly mention the Paris attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead, but he said Islamic extremists who behead and slaughter people — a reference to the IS group’s rampages in Iraq and Syria — have done more harm to Islam than anyone else in history.
Nasrallah spoke Friday via video link to supporters gathered in southern Beirut.
Nasrallah’s Shiite group is fighting in Syria alongside President Bashar Assad.
His remarks are in stark contrast to those of Sunni militants from the IS group and al-Qaida who have called for attacks on Western countries.

Pot calling the kettle black
Nice example.
And unlikely to be deleted, unlike Darli’s.
If an Essendon fan punched an opposition fan outside a game, we can say they don’t represent us, but we can’t say they are not an Essendon fan.
does that help?
