Witnesses said they heard the gunmen shouting "We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" and "God is Great" in Arabic ("Allahu Akbar").

Totally not religious.

I just hope they catch them at this point so we'll know more

edit: I heard the video, religious people have to say "peace be upon him" after hearing the name of their prophet so I'll still believe the people that did it aren't religious.

They didn't escape in the direction of Mecca, true Muslims wouldn't dare commit such a grave offense against the Holy Prophet as to turn their back to him after avenging him in such a glorious fashion.

Must be atheists trying to slander Islam.

Wish I could find a source besides just a retweet from Chris Kluwe, but supposedly one of the heads of the Russian Orthodox church praised the killings and said it was justified.

Holy shit, I would have never guessed it was this bad there: 60-70% of all prison inmates in France are Muslim. But Muslims are only 12% of the population.

It's almost as if most of the muslim population were poor immigrants who are generally more incarcerated and doesn't show any bias towards religion but more of a problem in economics in first world countries...kind of like black prison populations in the US.

Ahmed Merabet, a French Muslim Cop, first victim of Charlie Hebdo attack.

The youngest suspect in today's deadly attack at a satirical newspaper's office in Paris has turned himself in, French police said, while the other two are “on the loose, armed and dangerous."

French authorities have named the three suspects who they believe are responsible for the shooting deaths of 12 people, U.S. law enforcement officials told ABC News.

Officials identified the suspects as Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, two relatives both in their 30s and still at large, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, who is in custody after surrendering to police in the French town of Charleville-Mezieres, about 2 miles north of Paris.

Cherif Kouachi, 34, is listed in a private database, ABC News has confirmed.

Kouachi, along with six others, was sentenced in May 2008 to 3 years in prison for terrorism in Paris. All seven men were accused of sending about a dozen young Frenchmen to join Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, after funneling them through radical religious establishments in Syria and Egypt. French authorities believed Kouachi had been planning to go to Syria for training in 2005.

Saw this on Reddit from the user (AWildSketchAppeared), basically made a sketch from the quote:

"If your faith can be shaken by a drawing, then you have none."

Spoilered for large picture.

Several training grenades were thrown into the courtyard of a mosque in the French city of Le Mans. One of the grenades exploded, but no injuries were reported.

Four training grenades were thrown onto the property overnight Thursday, the local French daily Ouest-France reports. Three of the unexploded grenades were discovered by police. Police have cordoned off the mosque and so far no arrests have been made.

A gunshot was also reported overnight, with the bullet hitting the mosque.

French police have noted several attacks against mosques since Wednesday, when gunmen opened fire on the Paris office of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

On Thursday morning, an explosion was reported in a kebab shop near a mosque in Villefranche-sur-Saone, eastern France. There are no reports of any injuries and the cause of the blast remains unknown.

Local authorities have told AFP the incident is being investigated.

An assailant also opened fire near a Muslim prayer room in the Port-la-Nouvelle district near Narbonne in southern France on Wednesday night. The door to the room was damaged and a window was broken, but no injuries were reported in the attack. The local prosecutor told AFP the room was empty at the time of the attack.

An investigation into the incident is currently underway.

Tensions are running high following the dramatic assault on Wednesday, which left 10 journalists and 2 police officers dead. French authorities have introduced the highest state of alert in the country. According to French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, extra security forces have been deployed to secure mosques, synagogues, department stores, shopping centers, train stations and airports.

The French PM added that an extra 650 soldiers and 2,000 more police officers will patrol the streets of Paris on Thursday.

Wednesday attack is something the US would go to war for... These Frenchies should get on board what with those aircraft carriers nestled in their bay.

Holy shit dude. What the fuck is going on over there.

Glass houses, I know, but Europe actually has a fairly terrible track record with racism and intolerance (even outside WWII). Most European countries have never really had to deal with different varieties of white people in their society, let alone different races and creeds, but now they do.

French people are throwing grenades at mosques. Germans are having anti-islamization rallies. British immigration controls and benefit systems are tightening. Greeks have the Golden Dawn party which is really just the worst. Italy is deporting as many of immigrants as they can back to Syria, Libya, or wherever they started from (though it's better than their previous policy).

[vagus]

That's like saying America deserves to get bombed for invading other countries and spreading propaganda.

Satire is a tradition in French media. Been happening for ages. Sad to see such a blatant act of terrorism.

[NynJa]

From the few videos I've seen passed around facebook (I KNOW BAD SOURCE LOL) long before this incident happened, a couple major cities in Europe, like London and Pairs, have basically been taken over by muslim people and basically act and treat it as their own home nation.

I'm sure some people are going to find that racist label for me, but when people of a different culture come into your home town and start treating it like their own and give start harassing the locals for not following "sharia law"...do you really wonder why the locals get pissed off? And now this whole incident, presumably done in the name of their religion.
