Yesterday, in the suburbs of Beirut and today in the heart of Paris, terrorism equally targeted innocent civilians.

What happened in Paris will bring about tremendous hatred towards Arabs and Muslims.

What is happening in Paris is a devastating blow to the politics of moderation of the French President Francois Holland. It is crucial today for all moderates to rally around him to prevent the rise of the fascist Right.

What a cruel blow to the asylum seekers fleeing violence and death in Syria and Iraq or any other country! What happened yesterday is equivalent to a French or rather a European September 11.

Words cannot describe the horror of this tragedy; these events may announce a war of civilizations or cultures, if not religions.

It is a devastating blow by the forces of darkness to the image Islam. After this terrorist attack, the world will forget Israel’s crimes and those of Arab despots. AfterSeptember 11 in New York, the world entered into the chaos of Afghanistan and later on Iraq, today after November 13 in Paris, the world will see even greater chaos.
