Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular (AQAP) Takes Responsibility for Paris Attack
The Intercept :"Al Qaeda Source: AQAP Directed Paris Attack"by Reporter Jeremy Schahill
A few of their important messages to all the Western countries:
One: Touching Muslims’ sanctity and protecting those who make blasphemy have dear price and the punishment will be severe.
Two: The crimes of the Western countries, above them America, Britain and France will backfire deep in their home.
Three: The policy of hitting the snake’s head followed by the Al-Qaeda organization under the leadership of Adhawahiri is still achieving its goals; until the West retreats.
Four: The inspiring media policies of the Mujahideen of Al-Qaeda especially of Inspire Magazine has greatly succeeded in identifying its targets and collecting powers.

Hm. Blasphemy.
I'm glad that ebay billionaire is paying GG, Scahill et al lots of big bucks. His A/Q guy's a real comedian isn't he? Who writes his material I wonder?
Here's more of the same, Tarpley-Rense rattling around all over the place. They reminded of Merah though and his status as a member in good standing of French Intelligence, Another take-away is the emphatic opinion they're going to steer things back at Assad again. Also that the head honcho of the thing was US Gen John Allen... Again, could be, who knows?
He wisely cautions quite correctly too 'don't confuse an intelligence operation with 'free speech'...
Behind the Charlie-Hebdo Massacre: Is French President Hollande bucking the NATO Party Line by Demanding an End to Sanctions Against Russia, by Preparing to Release Warships to Moscow, by Refusing to Invade Libya, and by Undercutting the Merkel-Samares Demagogy? (audio)

Smithy,
They took responsibilty for the Kosher supermarket attacks as well cuz they are Anti-semitic, Osama Bin Laden pretty much said the same stuff
Do you stop at message 1? You are not interested in the rest ? Why? Cuz, it might make you have to think about inconvenient stuff like occupation, war and support to autocracies?
NDPP, I am gonna take Schahill;s report with a lot of salt
Who cares?
Bec,
Now there is an international womanhunt for the second supermarket attacker
France's most wanted woman is in Syria http://dailym.ai/17tWQwo
Between 82% and 97% of all victims of terrorism are Muslim
Looks like the odds are extremely low for Americans and indeed most people in Canada Western Europe to die at the hands of terrorists
How many Muslims has the U.S. killed in the past 30 years?
Rarely noted facts when discussing Al Qaeda and terrorism
Smithy,

No, I didn't stop there but don't let that stop you from leaping to assumptions and making baseless smears.
Muslim man in Kosher supermarket saved 15 people from the terrorists by hiding them in the cooler
In case you missed it, a Muslim man was the hero of the Paris grocery store siege
Media's fascination of woman who may nor may not be involved in Charlie Hebdo attack
Did she leave France and go to Syria? Who knows ? But its does not stop them from speculating

Would that this could go viral.
It has, actually.
"Islamists" were responsible for only 0.7% of terror attacks in Europe between 2006-2013
That's clearly just irresponsibly fanning the flames of Otherphobia.
But I'd sure like to know what constitutes the "other" 99%+. Buddhists? Catholics, still grumpy about "The Last Temptation of Christ"? Atheists, angry that Netflix isn't available in their location?
Given that the Global Terrorism Index suggests that a full two thirds of global terrorism can be attributed to the actions of just four groups -- ISIS/ISIL, Boko Haram, the Taliban and Al Qaeda -- I'm finding the idea that Islamism is responsible for less than one percent of terrorism in Europe a wee bit hinky. It's such a shame that they only had the two colours for that pie chart, or perhaps they could have told us more.
Yet but that .07% are real hum-dingers...
Global?
That is why linked to victims of terrorism are Muslim
Boko Haram killed 2000 people in Nigeria last Friday
Taliban killed 100 school children in Pakistan last month
Al Shabab kills Somalis inside Somalia
ISIS in Iraq killed a staggering 5,500 in first six months of 2014
These are insurgencies that use terrorism as a tool for political reasons
"Islamism" is just a made up word variation include "Islamists" thus useless terms
I'm finding the idea that Islamism is responsible for less than one percent of terrorism in Europe a wee bit hinky. It's such a shame that they only had the two colours for that pie chart, or perhaps they could have told us more.

I could've sourced it better but the data is still the same
EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report 2006-2008
Source:
In the US and Europe, all Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94-98% that Aren’t
Are All Terrorists Muslims? It’s Not Even Close
Back in the United States, the percentage of terror attacks committed by Muslims is almost as miniscule as in Europe. An FBI study looking at terrorism committed on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 found that 94 percent of the terror attacks were committed by non-Muslims. In actuality, 42 percent of terror attacks were carried out by Latino-related groups, followed by 24 percent perpetrated by extreme left-wing actors.
And as a 2014 study by University of North Carolina found, since the 9/11 attacks, Muslim-linked terrorism has claimed the lives of 37 Americans. In that same time period, more than 190,000 Americans were murdered.
In fact in 2013, it was actually more likely Americans would be killed by a toddler than a terrorist. In that year, three Americans were killed in the Boston Marathon bombing. How many people did toddlers kill in 2013? Five, all by accidentally shooting a gun.
