"‘World leaders’ who responded like sharks to chum at the “Je suis Charlie” mass rally in Paris on Sunday soon returned to their offices to carry on with what they always do: forging the same lax immigration policies that allow the barbarians to get in through the gates and patently ignoring the inevitability of the next Islamic terrorist attack.
But before leaving Paris they had firmly planted in the minds of the throngs what they thought would live on as an indelible picture:
World leaders and especially Western ones care—really care—about the horror of Islamist terrorism, even while still telling the great unwashed that only Islamaphobes identify Islamist terrorism as Islamist terrorism..."
She's good, that one. This is interesting...the "march of leaders" was a silly stunt, and yet Obama's taking flack for skipping it. How did we manage to do that?

This brings back the response of the PTB to 9-11... Marches, chic buttons, memorials to the dead, sympathy for the injured .... and nothing changes.
France still has laws on the book against insulting Islam; we have our hate crimes. Immigration policies will not change. France will still have its no-go zones which we are rapidly approaching. There will be more censorship. more surveillance to deal with hate crimes and violence by extremists. The fine print will define those who want secure borders and immigrants who are needed and assimilate as extremists.

I think what is missing most in the response to these recent unpleasant events is a ribbon we could wear which would not only show we are miffed about the violence but at the same time don't have any animus toward any of the world's great religions. The Oscars are coming soon and maybe Hollywood will come up with something by then.
Allahu Akbar" is Arabic for "Nothing to see here"~~Mark Steyn explaining the reaction of Obama, Hollande, et. al., to Muslim terror attacks.
