Am well and alive, albeit very shocked. And your wishes are extremely precious to me!

I've become a francophile in the last few months, reading many French books - Maupassant, especially ZOLA, and Stendhal, as well as listening to many lectures about French history. I really hope the pestilence of hatred and radicalism is eradicated in the wake of these horrible, terrifying, pointlessly-atrocious attacks. It makes no sense at all I and sincerely wish France a speedy and total recovery.
I don't know know what else to say other than that I hope the forces of violence are put down like a rabid animal. No nation deserves what France has been inflicted with this night. May the perpetrators be annihilated, without hesitation or mercy.

That such actions should take place at all is unthinkable. That they are undertaken in the name of Islam is a slap in the face to all the peaceful Islamic people world wide. This isn't Islam's fault, this is the fault of misguided people who equate might with right. I dread to see the fallout of these tragedies. ISIS seemed determined to start WWIII...
My prayers and thoughts go out to the people of Paris, and the whole Nation of France. As they mourn their loss and try to deal with the mind numbing horror of it all, may they find comfort and peace that passes understanding.
God Bless

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
ISIS doesn't seem to realize the damage it does to the reputation of Islam.

Sure it is. You can draw a direct doctrinal line from the Quran to Isis.
ISIS are probably doing damage to Islam's reputation on purpose, by the way, since it's likely that ISIS was started by the CIA/Mossad to maintain public support for a perpetual war against the Islamic world. I mean it's pretty convenient that these terrorist bombers are always found with their passports right? And it's probably not coincidental that this all broke out in Syria after Assad gave support to Putin in the face of U.S passive aggression toward Russia. We're on the wrong side, most likely, but it's hard to tell.

Most of the victims of Daesh are Muslims. Islam is not a single bloc. It has many branches.
This guy is a born again christian who literally gives chapter and verse to destroy any idea that the Islamic religion is not responsible
for the massacres. His last dig at the duplicitous Cameron is beautiful to behold.

"Je crois que beaucoup de gens sont dans cet état d’esprit: au fond, ils ne sentent pas concernés par l’Histoire. Mais pourtant, de temps à autre, l’Histoire pose sa main sur eux." Michel Houellebecq.
I think the Islamic religion is responsible for the recent violence to the same extent that the Christian religion is responsible for antisemitism and to the same extent that atheism is responsible for Naziism, Maoism or the Khmer Rouge.
What I wonder is, Is there a way to be a Muslim or a Christian or an atheist without being associated with their peculiar brands of violence? The reason I want to say, "Yes", is for the sake of civil liberties. I have no interest in becoming a member of any of those groups. That concern for civil liberties puts me on Cameron's side.
David Wood's response to Muslims could be used against his own religion's antisemitism if we decide to look only at a literal interpretation of texts.
