'THIS TIME, IT'S WAR': How French newspapers are covering the terror attacks

[Bus Insider - Auz] Roughly 150 people have been reported dead and more injured in terrorist attacks at seven locations around Paris.

Special operations troops stormed the Bataclan theatre, a concert venue in the 10th Arrondissement, where attackers were holding people hostage and shooting them one by one. More than 100 people are believed to have been killed in that attack.

Elsewhere, there were bombing attacks on the Stade de France where France were playing Germany, and there were shootings at a bar, a restaurant, and a shopping centre.

Philip Bromwell, a journalist with Irish national broadcaster RTE, tweeted this round-up of the Saturday French newspaper covers.

"L'horreur", declares Equipe, needing no translation.

Le Parisien says: "This time, it's war", while Le Figaro also says "War right in Paris".

#1 A few days ago German police arrested a man from Montenegro, who was driving a car from Austria en route to France (Paris was programmed into his navigation system). In his car automatic guns and explosives were found. French police were alerted.

#2 They were alerted EU, but were they alert?

America was alerted about the Tsarneyevs but were too PC to be alert.

#3 In the afternoon of the attack there was a bomb threat against the hotel the German national team was staying. No bomb was found and French police seemed to be rather nonchalant about the whole thing. Bomb threats in Paris seem to be as common as stale baguette on Mondays.

#4 Not much was done after the Charlie Hebdo attack; there were no consequences. Yesterday's attacks are what results from a failure to respond harshly.

#5 Post the notices of mushroom clouds over the territory held by ISIS and then I'll believe you. The rest is theater.

#10 When will the world learn Muslims are nothing but lying savages. They will say all the right things to your face, when you turn your back, they will stick a knife in it. Exterminate them, and vote them out of office next year.

Let's not get into that sort of talk here at the Burg. We recognize our enemies and we'll deal with them, but we're not into genocide.

#14 We are not fighting ISIS, ISSL, AQ, or any other dreamed up unit name. We ARE fighting ISLAM. Its not radical ISLAM, it is Islam as a culture, religion, and way of life. This PC crap about "lets not go there" is how we will loose this war on Christian values and the Western way of life. The culture of everyone gets a trophy and its not the religion but the bad guys in it is just wrong. They infiltrated the West praying on our good cristian values of helping refugees. The refugees were their Trojan horse, now they are loose inside our culture.
Look at it from a military perspective, they are fighting and winning, we are losing. They sent fighters to Iraq and Syria. Then they returned to build the infrastructure to receive the next eschelon of soldiers. They came as refugees, we paid for them and brought them here. They have massed and now are beginning to disrupt our rear area just like any good doctrin would perscribe. They will now attack in mass. What will we do? Nothing... We are paralized with fear of being called bigots or racists. If we put them on trains and send them packing we will be called Nazis. The same if we burn down their Mosquse. Worse yet when we even discuss it we are called out by the moderators and told to not go there. We need to go there! we need to discuss a way ahead, it wont be pretty or kind, our enemy is brutal and cruel, we have to defeat them and we need to be more cruel than they could imagine. Their mothers strap bombs on their babies and blow them up, without remorse. And we are worried that something written here might offend. Understand, and I HAVE SAID THIS SINCE THE BURG STARTED, If we are not willing to enguage in total war with ISLAM we should surrender. We need to make the cost of war with us so extreem that they refuse to fight any longer. They dont care about life, we have to destroy what they care about in order to win and that is ISLAM. If you dont like what I say, disagree, but we as a nation had better start talking about the ugly truth, because the last ten years and ALL my dead friends are just a prelude to our future if we dont!

#16 Well said 49Pan. We are losing more an more of our culture everyday due to these vermin. When is enough going to be enough? How many innocent civilians are going to have to be prayed upon before we put a stop to this?

#17 This is a tough discussion. Nobody around here wants genocide. Period. We want to kill or neutralize the enemy and provide safety for our citizens and our allies. The difficulty lies within how to handle the vast numbers of enemy. If there are 30+ thousand active ISIS in Syria alone and you add in all the other Jihadis from around the globe (Iraq, Afghan, all the other ME Countries, Somalia and the other Muslim African Nations, Indonesia, etc., etc.) the numbers are huge. For every one active fighter there are probably 10 support people who provide financing, weapons, training, documents, etc. Then you add in all the passive support from families and friends. You get some huge numbers. So if the idea is to focus on the enemy alone the numbers are HUGE. To handle this matter decisively will be exceedingly difficult and ugly. And the longer the world waits to take action the worse it gets.

#20 Yeah, riiiight...Like the last time, that "Je suis Charlie" parade was an apology to muslims in real life...Watch the media in Europe, Canada and America...only Drudge mention they are muslims...The "extremist" muslim will saw off your neck while the "moderate" muslim will hold your feet...A billion murdered since mohamed, yet we nuke the Imperial Japs, who did far less.
Remember that ALL MUSLIMS emulate mohamed...the guy who in Medina, beheaded one thousand Banu Qureiza Jews, men women and children, then tortured their chief for his gold, cut his head off too then raped his young wife on top of his still palpitating body...DAESH(the real name of ISIS) is just trying...still far from a thousand for one muslim...
No, indeed we will have to nuke the lot...if our effete leaders dont do it, Pooty Poot will not hesitate...

#21 The allies killed 8+ million German, Japanese and Italy military personnel to defeat that ideology and evil. Until the free world is willing to make a similar commitment we will continue to see Islamic fascism grow.

#22 It is too late for France...all the cities are surrounded by "Zones sans lois"(Outside the law zones) where ambulances, firemen and the police just cannot venture...no go zones unless you are Legionnaires or spetsnaz with tank, artillery AND aviation support...when the time come, soon, they will choke all the highways to town, all the railways will blow and it will be the siege of Beirut all over Europe...But is America all that much better with Looie Farrakhan and Barry Hussein in charge?

#25 Re: the French train derailment

Derailing trains was a favourite form of terrorism, long before the car bomb was thought of.

#26 Let us not confuse genocide on a defenseless population with total war against a merciless, armed enemy.

Well said, KBK. Genocide would mean killing every one of the one billion or so Muslims in the world, down to the babes in arms. But that is not necessary to destroy Islam as a triumphalist ideology.

The only proof of Islam's rightness, claimed from the beginning by the Prophet Mohammed himself and by all who followed him, is successful expansion by conquest.

But Islam's conquests were stopped and reversed by the West, starting in the 18th century. Through the middle of the 20th century, by its own key measurement Islam was proved to be a losing ideology, demonstrably lacking proof of Allah's approval. That the Muslim world subsequently achieved self rule was not the result of Muslim superiority in warfare, but because the Western conquerers chose to allow them self rule, and even kowtowed to those nations which had oil to sell, particularly Saudi Arabia and Mullah-ruled Iran.

On the other hand, the inferiority of Muslim societies compared to the West has been obvious, leading some to attempt to purify beliefs in the hope of regaining the favour of Allah and therefore regaining the ability to conquer the world that is the proof of Islam's rightness. Destroy the home territories of ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Al Qaeda in Arabia, Hamas, Hizb'allah, and so forth, and the failed idea will be less attractive to the Muslim underclass of Europe and Britain.

This will need to be coupled with some major changes in European and Britain society, however. The generous support of the unemployed will have to end -- independent of no longer being able to afford it, idle hands are the Devil's playground; after working 40-60 hours a week, those Muslim yoots will have considerably less time and energy for mischief. And misbehaviour can no longer be tolerated, but must be attacked with certain arrrest and long jail terms, American style. The
Broken Window theory has been demonstrated in New York City and elsewhere.

Should Europe choose not to make those changes, and to decisively return those immigrants they don't want, despite the fact that their home countries (and Africa) don't want them back, they will indeed be lost... for a while, at least.

We've seen in New York City how quickly things can go from bad to good -- the Broken Window approach of Rudy Guiliani -- and how quickly from good to bad -- that ideologue de Blasio. And also how many people have become gun owners over the years since Barack Obama first ran for president. America is the one country that is not like the others.
