Comment on the attack in Paris: We all are Charlie

Trauer in Paris: Pärchen mit "Charlie Hebdo"-Solidaritätsplakat

Twelve humans are dead, further are partly heavily injured. Four draughtsmen of the French satire magazine “Charlie Hebdo” had to die, because they drew, which fanatics did not want to see. Two policemen had to die, because they should protect this freedom. Six further humans had to die, because they came the three heavily armed murderers into the way with their assassination attempt on the freedom.

If the armed attack on the editorial conference of “Charlie Hebdo” leads to the fact that Islam critics and satirists suddenly take now consideration, then the terror won. But it won also, if each religious Muslim stands now in the suspicion, to be a ready for violence Islamist. The terror may not get influence on acting and thinking the particular - otherwise the freedom is lost. Only now quite the open society must prove that it is able, most different opinions to integrate - to bear and.

Who means on the day of the attack, the opportunity came now to content themselves about it gloat, for a long time before ready for violence Islamists to have warned as the Pegida organizers on their Facebook side do it, who tried to strike now from the terrible attack political capital for its backwards-turned party as it does the AfD functionary Alexander Gauland, has the freedom to it, but it operates an abhorrent business with splitting the society.

No, now the time is to find and punish the murderers, them and all those, which make common cause with them. Now the time is, in order to mourn twelve murdered humans. Together with their families and friends. Together with the Frenchmen, who had in the middle to experience the terror in their capital in broad daylight. Together also with all pacific Muslims, Christian, Jew, believers of each religion, agnostics and atheists, which must fear probably by right that the attack of Paris still heavier a living together makes that hate with still more will be answered hate and force by still more force.
