The attack on a French Newspaper could have been avoided. American Democracy influences the French Government. While America has Freedoms it has no responsibility for its actions, rather it has a large Military to protect itself from backlash caused by its citizens. The first attack in France was its sense of Freedom to say anything and get away with it. If you slap someone and do not receive a reply, this is called the Christian response (turn the other cheek); if you get punched after slapping someone this is a Reality response - you then call the person who punched you a "terrorist or criminal" because you have laws against punching. So if you slap someone and are carrying a gun in case of a violent reaction -- what are you other than a bully? USA has laws against Bullying. France afterwards deliberately provoked the Islamic World by new cartoonist attacks on Islam. This is an Act of War on Islamic Countries.
Al Qaeda and the Islamic State are factions that developed when American influences entered the region by force. USA Presidents push American ideology onto every country it trades with (Human Rights, Democracy, Freedoms, Capitalism Economy, etc.). It does this to seed American values and lifestyle so it will one day annex these foreign lands. AQ and IS are the Middle East's Military response to American Imperialism. They want to conquer the World (
Stand in Line - M7-UEIR) and create an Islamic society. When Governments become corrupt with power, people turn to religion for answers. In this case it is Islam. The leader of IS claims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. Not everyone who is related to Muhammad is Islamic. By rights I should make my own Caliphate, though I am not Islamic because I am God in this life, according to the CIA who classified me top secret because I conquer countries with my supernatural abilities. If I wasn't classified perhaps the AQ and IS would have surrendered to me by now (or they forfeit Islam).
