Twitter accounts associated with the Islamic State (ISIS) and radical Islam mourned the deaths of brothers Said and Cherif Kouchai and Amedy Coulibaly in France.

Charlie Hebdo Shooters Cornered with Hostages Near Charles de Gaulle Airport

The manhunt for the Charlie Hebdo killers led to a day of chaos in Paris, as the perpetrators – Cherif Kouachi, 32, and his brother Said Kouachi, 34 – went to ground in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele, not far from Charles de Gaulle airport. At the same time, the man who murdered an unarmed French policewoman yesterday, now believed to be a member of the same terrorist cell as the Kouachi brothers, has taken hostages of his own, and reportedly offered to trade them for the brothers’ freedom – an offer the French authorities are unlikely to accept.

French Police Classified Second Police Shooting as ‘Terrorist Attack’

French authorities classified the death of police officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe, 25, a terrorist attack. The shooting is France’s second terrorist attack within a span of 24 hours. Two gunmen slaughtered twelve people at Charlie Hebdo headquarters on Wednesday as they screamed, “Allahu Akbar!” Even though both are considered terrorist attacks, authorities did not initially link the attacks, though reports are now surfacing that the three suspects may be related.

Opinion: The Right Not to Offend

I don’t much feel like re-posting the Muhammad cartoons for which Charlie Hebdo became famous. It’s not a matter of fear, or political correctness. A decade ago, I was living in the heart of the Muslim community in Cape Town, writing articles against fundamentalism and in defense of the U.S. and Israel even while I enjoyed breaking Ramadan fasts with friends and neighbors. I did so at some considerable risk to my personal safety. I was lucky to meet religious Muslims who wanted nothing to do with violence–and it is precisely because of those relationships that I choose not to offend, even while standing with Charlie Hebdo.
