It is terrible what has happened in France, my sincere sympathy goes out to the bereaved families, France and humankind.

There is a determined group of Muslims that cannot and will not live in peace with non-Muslims. It is no use pretending this is something it is not. They are motivated by their understanding of their religion. It is pointless and harmful for Muslims and others to pretend otherwise.

Their weak argument that it is because of the West’s involvement in the Middle East is a hollow one. What involvement did Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan, Indonesia, etc, have in the Middle East, that the same groups/associates should target those countries? In the case of Nigeria, they have been terrorised for more than 100 years, since that country was merged, with sporadic wanton violence against non-Muslims.

Until the world, politicians and peaceful muslims confront this ideological cancer square on, it will continue to eat away at humanity and harm innocent people.
