More than 128 people were killed and dozens injured after a night of gun and bomb attacks when Paris, the City of Lights was attacked. The attacks took place in artistic venues, that celebrated the creativity of humanity -- the Bataclan concert hall, Boulevard Voltaire, Belle Equipe bar, rue Fontaine au Roi, Petit Cambodge restaurant, and Le Carillon bar. The ISIS attack in Paris was an attack on Western civilization. ISIS declared War with the West when ISIS attacked the City of Lights, one of the greatest cities in civilization, ISIS declares War in Paris.
On a warm November night, bombs and bullets that blew to pieces kids rocking to music of a heavy metal band in the Bataclan concert hall... the extremist group ISIS claims it is because “hundreds of apostates had gathered in a profligate prostitution party,” the ISIS statement declared. Among the dead, Africans, North Africans, and Middle Eastern descent, many were from Muslim families. In an ISIS statement after the attacks, the dead were called “apostates,” meaning those that abandoned Islam, those who became part of Western life and culture.
Brigadier General Peter B. Zwack (Ret.) wrote in the Huffington Post: "The ISIS attack in Paris was an attack on our global community. This will not end. We have to face this fact. The target of these attackers was non-combatant innocents. They will attack again. As much as we abhor the idea of more ground action in the Middle East, this is going to take concerted, long-term international military and civil action. It will involve major forces committed long-term in the nexus area encompassing ISIS root areas predominately in Iraq and Syria."
Can the West galvanize and coordinate a final blow to this modern day attack on our way of life?Democracies threatened, the question is, do we understand that our way of life is under attack???
