#1 I have a hunch that this is the end of the preliminaries. As WSC said "the end of the beginning".

#2 Time to clean out the Islamic enclaves, close the mosques, deport the Imams.

#3 For that to happen, AP, it would be necessary to recognize that Islam is not "just another religion" but an actual existential threat to Western Civ. I'd like to think it is the end of the beginning but we still have time for a few more choruses of Kumbaya. Right, Mr President?

#4 holy crapoly this is a big one

everyone should complain to their media outlets loudly and vocally if they do not describe the attackers as Islamist or Islamist fascists in the first 20 words.

it is unacceptable to hide it till the end and just say *isil* did it

dishonest.

#5 The problem is not Muslims, anon1---they just behave according to their nature. The problem is staunch refusal of EU ruling classes to admit that this nature is. Or, the stanch refusal of the EU masses to admit that it's Bastille Storming time again.

#6 I concur g(r)om but you left the US out. Our elites are just as bad and insist on playing frog to the Islamic scorpion.

I'd be more impressed if Hollande had declared a state of WAR rather than emergency. At least a couple of newspapers over there used that term.

#7 The core of the problem lies in Riyad, Doha and Teheran.

#10 Getting the feeling yet of the last Roman 'emperor' and his entourage ensconced in the enclave of Ravenna while the Vandals loot the city of Rome?

#11 Although mostly defanged, it is important to remember that Europe invented killing on an industrial scale and in it's death throes might reconnect with that part primitive part of its collective brain.

#12 It might serve as an instructional reminder, the reason we are here in this great United States of America, and not still in Europe. Our forefathers got it right. Not always obvious to some I suppose.

#13 Not always obvious to some I suppose.

And not always obvious to those who visit or come here to live, and claim to "know it."

#14 Two from Theodore Dalrymple lay out the dimensions of the problem facing France:

The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris
Surrounding the City of Light are threatening Cities of Darkness.
Autumn 2002

Tyranny of the Minority
There is more to fear in one terrorist than to celebrate in 99 well-adjusted immigrants.

#15 @procopius: One can hope that the despair of 3rd century Rome will be followed by a 4th century revival. And that we can hope for a Belisarius after that. All of which is but a postponement of the deluge. BTWool: to all concerned - even back in the 90's when I belatedly attended grad school at Univ. of Chicago the term 'western civilization' was verboten by many in the social sciences. A real eye opener at that time for me. Self-hatred (for a noble pursuit) is a terrible thing.
