In the wake of Friday's coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, the French people — and supporters around the world — have been grieving. More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city.
Many Parisians have been traveling to the sites of the attacks to honor the dead. And for some mourners, there is concern as well as sorrow — worry that the attacks will lead to a backlash against Muslims in France.
'It Should Not Be Complicated'
In the trendy Canal St. Martin neighborhood, in the 10th arrondissement, gunmen opened fire on several packed restaurants and bars on Friday night. The next day, a steady throng of young Parisians arrived to pay their respects.
Among those huddling and holding hands, staring at the growing pile of flowers in front of the establishments' shattered windows, was 18-year-old Ryan Abeichou, a third-generation French Muslim whose grandparents came to Paris from Tunisia.
The informatics engineering major said he worries the latest attacks may turn a growing segment of French society against its Muslim citizens — including secular ones like himself — even though they are just as horrified and hurt by what happened, Abeichou said.
"It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault," he said, adding: "But I think it should not be complicated, because making that connection is wrong."
His 17-year-old friend Mathilde, who is a pre-med student, said that isn't keeping people from doing just that even at these impromptu memorial gatherings. She was visibly upset as she recounted the scene a short while earlier in front of the Bataclan Concert Hall, which saw the worst bloodshed in Friday night's attacks.
"It's shameful what they were saying, calling Muslims terrorists," she said, her hands shaking as she pulled a cigarette out of her purse.
'They're Trying To Scare The World'
In the 11th arrondissement, outside a pizza place where five people were gunned down in the attacks, Javier Valdeperez was laying flowers and lighting candles.
Valdeperez, whose parents are originally from Spain, said that unlike the Paris attacks in January, which targeted the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists as well as shoppers at a Jewish supermarket, these attacks seemed aimed at a diverse group of civilians with nothing in common with one another — except that they were enjoying themselves at a concert, a restaurant or a soccer game on a Friday night.
"[The attackers purposely] chose Friday night, and they chose this place full of young French people," Valdeperez said, gesturing toward the pizza place where people were killed. "When they attack and kill people, they're trying to scare the world. It's hard to prevent these kind of attacks."
He, too, said he fears the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment across Europe, and worries that France's far-right parties will try to capitalize on the attacks.
"This kind of act enables hate against people coming from Syria. [The far-right parties] are going to come out saying that there's no way to host people from these countries. It's going to be a surge of hate!" Valdeperez said. "We have to be careful of that. It doesn't represent Islam or the Muslims. It's just a bunch of psychopaths."
This was a horrific event that happened to Paris. We are all helping this country out like how they made us stronger after 9/11. Having “More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city” (NPR) is horrible and this should never happen again.

The recent attacks in Paris were a great tragedy to the country and the world. Over 120 innocent people were killed in these attacks that took place in public areas. "When they attack and kill people, they're trying to scare the world. It's hard to prevent these kind of attacks" (NPR). Many have showed great support to the country as they rebuild and mourn their losses. These events maybe tragic now but in a couple years they will make our world stronger than it is now.

This event that happened in Paris was very tragic. It is awful that "120 people died in explosions and gunfire" (NPR). It is really nice that some of the people are leaving flowers and candles for the people who were unfortunate enough to be caught in these attacks. I hope that nothing like this ever happens again in Paris.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened in Paris is very horrific. It is crazy to think that "more than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire"(NPR). At the moment U.S. is helping Paris out, sort of how they helped us out in 9/11. It is awesome to know that many people are leaving gifts and flowers to mourn the losses of the many people that were killed in this bombing.

What happened in Paris was beyond tragic. "More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city" (NPR). I agree that when something like this happens, it is an attempt to try to scare others of what they might do next. I think that it is good that people are going back to honor the people involved in the killing.

After these tragic events that have occurred in France it is warming to see so many people paying their respects to those who lost their lives on that day. As for the matter of new found discrimination of Muslims, I believe that there is no need for it. The people of Paris and France have already been through enough trauma and heartbreak that they need not create even more for themselves and their country. These Muslims living in France were not a part of the attacks and should therefore be shown respect and not be discriminated against.
ReplyDeleteThe recent events happening in Paris are extremely horrendous. It is truly depressing how many innocent people were affected. Actions like this scare the world, but I will never quite understand the reason why people turn to destruction. The fact that many people and places are supporting Paris in a time of crisis is reassuring that from this tragedy, we will only get stronger.
ReplyDeleteHannah Miller, p2
ReplyDeleteThe recent tragic events that have bee happening in Paris are just terrible. It takes something like this to shock the world. It still is a good sign that the whole world is supporting them because is is very reassuring for them I'm sure. I still don't understand why someone would want to do this to these people. 'They're Trying To Scare The World'. This quote i think is very true. What happened in Paris was very horrific and tragic, and with ending so many lives, they basically put the world in eternal shock to where it is like we cant function. But from this, i think that we can only get stronger.

What recently just happened in Paris what an event and moment that should never happen again. It is crazy to think that 120 people have died from explosions and gunfire shots, but there will never be any understanding of why people would do this. Bombing Paris was a huge attempt to ¨scare¨ the world, which in my opinion, is very accurate. It is good that people are going back to honor the ones who died in this tragic event.
ReplyDeleteIt is insane to think that someone has the drive to kill "more than 120 people in explosions and gunfire". That fact alone is sickening. ISIS wants power and if we let this event pass without coming together, we are giving them that power. However, we have been coming together to support those affected by this horrific event, which is a small light in the darkness because this tragic event is uniting us to stop ISIS.
ReplyDeleteThe recent tragedy in Paris is horrible. It is so sad that "More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city" (NPR). I think that everyone is in shock from what happened. It is so sad to see pictures of the innocent victims because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think that they really scared everyone, but people have seemed to show great support to the country after what happened. I think that after this event Paris will become a stronger country.
ReplyDeleteIt is horrible that "more than 120 people were killed" in Paris. People should not blame Muslims, though. ISIS is to blame. They are an extremist group that is nothing but a bunch of "psychopaths". ISIS has also targeted Muslim places of worship more than any other.

ReplyDeleteOne of the largest issues among terrorist attacks today is the stigma that it creates among the races involved. The recent Paris attacks has created a social outburst against Muslims. A lot of discrimination is showing up in schools now, against Muslim students and people. "It's shameful what they were saying, calling Muslims terrorists" (Corsan). We need to stop calling Muslims by this word because Terrorists only make up a very, very small portion of the Muslim population. All races are generally peaceful, it is the extremists that create a lot of stigma. The generalization of the origin of terror needs to be stopped if people wish to not judge others based on their religion.

ReplyDeleteThe French society should not turn on their Muslim citizens. The Muslim terrorists of ISIS are a very small portion of the Muslim race. Their actions should not damage the reputations of good French Muslim citizens. According to Ryan Abeichou, "it's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault." The French government as well as the people should establish right now, that they support their French Muslim citizens, and will continue to treat them as equals. It would be unjust to abandon fellow citizens that have served beside you and under the French flag.
The tragedy that occurred in Paris was remarkable and beyond tragic. It is beyond terrible that "more than 120 people were killed." This became not only tragic to Paris, but the whole world as well. This should not represent Muslims or Islam.
ReplyDeletePeople tend to freak out whenever something "bad" happens. Because of this they will point fingers at anyone that fits the bill. Because of this "It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault,". throughout history, people always associate the radicals of a religious or political group, and turn their entire party into them. Essentially they are stereotyping them. When in reality, many Muslims out there would be the nicest people you could have come to know.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a natural thing for people to want answers after a horrific event. Some scared people are associating all Muslim citizens as terrorists because the attackers themselves were from ISIS. I agree that “it doesn’t represent Islam or the Muslims. It’s just a bunch of psychopaths” (NPR). This attack on Paris is not one we will forget. People all around the world came together and created awareness for this tragic incident. This event did not make us weak; in fact, it made us even stronger. Countless thoughts and prayers go out to those victims and their loved ones who suffered from this horrific event.
ReplyDeleteOlivia Lasecke period 2
It is understanding that we often search for scapegoats in horrific tragedies such as these, however the recent events that took place in France, were done through acts of terror, and the Muslim citizens of France should not be blamed. We cannot incriminate an entire race, or religion for the a small group of extremists because their acts do not “represent Islam or the Muslims. It’s just a bunch of psychopaths” (NPR). These people are cruel, disgusting individuals, and the innocent Muslim citizens of France should not be associated with them just because to their race.
ReplyDeleteThe attacks on Paris were shocking and horrific, yet many people have been associating all Muslims as 'terrorists' since the attacks happened to be from ISIS. "It's shameful what they were saying, calling Muslims terrorists" (Corsan). It's awful that the media have portrayed Muslims to be terrorists and dangerous. Only a very small group are known to be a part of ISIS, but we should not stereotype Muslims by their religion or what they look like. The French people and government should continue to treat their Muslim citizens equally, along with the rest of the world if we want to see a change.
ReplyDelete"The informatics engineering major said he worries the latest attacks may turn a growing segment of French society against its Muslim citizens." This isn't good. Only a small amount of muslims are part of isis. Only 1,000 of the millions and millions of people are muslim extremists. The French should not attack the innocent muslim community for something that those people didn't do.
ReplyDeleteParis was hit very hard recently and I am not surprised to see that some of the things that happened after September 11th are happening in Paris. In the US, many horrible things happened to innocent Muslims after 9/11 and I hope France does not make the same mistakes but instead, does what they can against ISIS and continues things such as taking in immigrants (as France has already continued to do). It is extremely wrong to place blame, anger, or hate towards Muslims who have done nothing but be Muslim and I hope that the people of France all know that the best way to get through this is with love and unity instead of the way the US started an all out war that didn't accomplish anything but more death
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised when I heard about the killings and bombings in Paris. It really opens your eyes and makes you realize that these incidents can happen anywhere at anytime. After this incident, ISIS took blame for it right away and then everyone starts to point fingers at Muslims. "It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault" (Abeichou). The French community should treat Muslims in France with equality and not look at them differently from this incident because not all Muslims are working and fighting for ISIS. We need to find a way to end these acts of terror.
ReplyDeleteIt is awful what has happened in Paris. I agree with what Abeichou said. "It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault," he said, adding: "But I think it should not be complicated, because making that connection is wrong" (Abeichou). I agree with him because Muslims in France did not have anything to do with the bombing. They are just as devastated as everyone else.

Paragraph 1 states "coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city (NPR)." Its horrible to think that something like this could happen to innocent people. I have no clue why ISIS does the horrible things they do but, hopefully this war that was declared will stop ISIS from creating more harm to innocent people.

What happened in Paris was a true tragedy, but so many attacks happen in the world that never get on the news. More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city (Olivier Corsan/Maxppp /Landov). It's so sad to hear about how over a hundred people died. Each person who died has a family that they'll never get to see again. I hope that one day we get to live in peace. - Sheila Ordukhani per2
ReplyDeleteThe tragedy in Paris is unspeakable. I know that all Muslims are NOT terrorists, and that it's unfair that these Radical Islam's are making a bad wrap for Muslims. "It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault," he said, adding: "But I think it should not be complicated, because making that connection is wrong." (NPR) I do think that people need to be aware of peoples emotions and not judge people on their stereotypes, but on their actual person.
ReplyDeleteThese events are very tragic, no body and no country deserves this type of torture to a country nobody should ever have to find out their loved one was killed in an act of terror. Not a freak accident a act of terror by people who have nothing to lose and have committed themselves to a cause that will only cause more bloodshed and more people grieving on both sides. "coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city (NPR)." I just don't understand why people would hurt innocents for no reason. Yet this is not a time to stereotype all Muslims don't have suicide vest strapped to them and want to take lives, only a small percentage of those radicals take away from the many.
ReplyDeleteThese acts of terror need to be shut down quickly because they are happening more frequently. What happened in Paris truly sad and makes people realize it could happen near them next. When ISIS said they did the terrorist attack people immediately think Muslims, but ISIS is a small portion of Muslims. Since there are many French Muslims in France but they had no part of it. "It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault" (Abeichou). P.2
ReplyDeleteWhat happened in Paris is just mind boggling No country should ever have to go through what just happened. These acts need to be stopped before they just keep coming and causing many more problems. After ISIS said they did these horrific acts everybody turned to Muslims because they think they had something to do with it. "it is going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault" (Abeicou). This just goes to show that ISIS is capable of turning innocent people into murder suspects. They need to solve this ISIS problem fast before it really gets out of hand.
ReplyDeleteI hope that there isn't a bad backlash against the Muslims. I believe it's sad when an entire group of people are judged, beaten, and shamed because of the religion they follow even though it's just a small group of people within that religion who are taking the religion's words out of context and twisting them to justify killing. "he worries the latest attacks may turn a growing segment of French society against its Muslim citizens — including secular ones like himself — even though they are just as horrified and hurt by what happened"(NPR) this quote really connected with me because of the last bit as the man talks about how his own community is just as horrified. I'm ashamed of anyone who would dare to go out and beat or kill innocent Muslim people who are just as horrified at the attacks as everyone else is. It's embarrassing to have people who openly blame the Muslim religion for all the wrongs of the small percentage of Muslims who are extremists.
ReplyDeleteIt is heartbreaking in my eyes that one would have the audacity to massacre innocent people. After these attacks many people decided to turn on all Muslims, when that is not our problem. Our problem is ISIS and the very few Muslims that have decided to take part in this. By doing this, ISIS has opened every ones eyes and basically "warned" the world as said in this article, "When they attack and kill people, they're trying to scare the world. It's hard to prevent these kind of attacks." (NPR) We will only get stronger from here.

The attacks that happened in Paris are in no doubt extremely sad for many reasons. The obvious one being all the people hurt and killed during the attacks and how that affected so many families. But the other reason not very many people think about. Because, ISIS was the group that did the attacks and the majority of ISIS is Muslim people start to think that whenever they see someone who is Muslim they think they are apart of ISIS or that they are going to do something bad and the same thing happen right after 9/11. The thing is Muslims don't deserve to be looked at differently because of something they didn't even do. Now here is a question, did white people start to be stared at or thought of differently when the Colorado movie theater shooting happened?
ReplyDeleteI think this is extremely sad and disgusting what ISIS does and it's attacks on humanity. Being Muslim myself, Islam has no tolerance for killing, and has the up-most highest respects for everyone. "Killing one person is like killing humanity" (Quran). So I do believe that it is unfair that Muslims are being stereotyped as terrorists, or savages, because of an extremist group that feels they are in a "jihad" or holy war which our religion has no belief in killing for god. Muslims condemn every extremist group, and I don't think they we should be subjected to other people's crimes. I do believe there are double standards. "Now here is a question, did white people start to be stared at or thought of differently when the Colorado movie theater shooting happened?" (Bernard). Here we can see that, did people go to white people and call them terrorists, or ask them to say sorry for what happened. No, and this should not be the case at all. We need to stop blaming people for something they did not do.
ReplyDelete-Muzamil Ahmad p.6
I completely agree with everything Muzamil said. When I first heard about the attacks on Paris made by ISIS, I was shocked and very upset. Coming from a Muslim family, I cannot believe that anybody would blame an entire religious community for an attack as large and serious as this, though I do not blame them. Many people do not understand that the Islamic community has nothing to do with the attacks made by ISIS. ISIS is an extremist group whose murderous actions are not defended in any section of the Quran. These attacks on Paris affected the lives of all the families and friends of those who died and are mourning the gone, but have also affected the lives of thousands of muslims who will now be discriminated against for a disgusting crime that they had nothing to do with.

It was horrible hearing about the horrific incident that occurred in Paris on November 13, 2015. Everyone's hearts go out the family members and loved ones of the people who passed do to the terrorist attacks. After reading the article titled "In Paris, Some Mourners Worry About Backlash Against Muslims," I am astonished to hear that Muslim people who live in Paris are being blamed for this tragedy. Ryan Abeichou, a Muslim who lives in Paris, states, " he worries the latest attacks may turn a growing segment of French society against its Muslim citizens — including secular ones like himself — even though they are just as horrified and hurt by what happened" (para. 5). I really hope this is not the case because the only ones to blame for the attacks is ISIS.

Ever since I heard of the incident about Paris, I was shocked. I really did not understand why others would attack. I also did not get the reason why they would do it in the first place. The reason why they keep attacking is because they want them to be scared. it is with a murderer, they want the victim to scream for help and plead for their life. A father was helping his son out by telling him not to be afraid and help him believe he is safe. "Of course they do, look, everyone is putting flowers. It's to fight against guns"(CBSN). The father is giving his son that the flowers are more powerful then the enemies weapons. "The flowers and candles are here to protect us"(CBSN). That is the response from the boy that there he not afraid anymore.
ReplyDeleteThis was a horrific assault not only on France, but the World, and the rights we stand for as a single human race. We cannot let these attacks get the best of us, and instead, must come together as one despite the terrorizing events. Valdeperez, a Spaniard living in France stated, "'This kind of act enables hate against people coming from Syria'" (NPR). I agree with him because categorizing all Muslims or Syrians as terrorists is an unfair stereotype and prejudice. These people have taken to social media with the #notinmyname. As humans, we must learn to love each other and come together not only in circumstances like these but everytime and everywhere. To finish I would like to include a quote from Martin Luther King Jr., "'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.'"

The incident in Paris is terribly wrong. It really allows me personally to be thankful for what we take for granted. "Coordinated teams of assailants stuck at least six sites across the city" (NPR). The fact that over 120 people were killed for no reason makes me angry. Many people started turning on the muslims, but we can't get caught up in that. This is not only a threat to France, but to us too.
ReplyDeleteThe attacks on Paris were awful and the world feels for the country and its people. This article does share a valid concern now, however. It must be key to stand together and strong. All of us, not singling out a certain ethnicity. He said, "It doesn't represent Islam or the Muslims. It's just a bunch of psychopaths" (NPR). These terrorists attacks are not representative of Muslims whatsoever and we cannot single the entire race out if we hope to stop these horrible terrorists.
ReplyDeleteFriday night's horrific attacks had an impact on the whole world. However, while some people were mourning, others took the chance to start a feud against Islam and Muslims. Sadly, these people are too ignorant to realize that people who execute attacks like this are just one group of people. Like Valdeperez said, these groups of terrorists don't define all Muslims, "It's just a bunch of psychopaths" (NPR).
ReplyDeleteThe attacks that happened in Paris were a terrible thing, but the article brings up a good point. All Muslims shouldn't be thought of as bad, because they are not all extremist like the ones who attacked Paris. All Muslims should not have to be treated badly because of the actions of only sum Muslims. They can't help how other people in their religion act, and they have nothing to do with the attacks. To illustrate, "'It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault...But I think it should not be complicated, because making that connection is wrong'"(Abeichou).

"It's shameful what they were saying, calling Muslims terrorists." Calling Muslims terrorists is absolutely ridiculous. Just because there is a terrorist group claiming to be doing the acts they are doing for Muslim faith, does not mean the entire population of Muslims would be terrorists. Many other religions have had groups that have as well been warped to their belief to interpret it in a way that would cause terrorism to blossom. Although I do personally believe that no other religious based terrorist group has been quite this bad.
ReplyDeleteThe people in France need and should have their time to grieve after this terrible event that has happened to them. The country needs time to collect themselves and get back on their feet after this happened to them. In the article, it said "'It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault."(NPR) I believe that an attack like this does not represent a whole religion and the people that believe in it. For those Muslims that weren't involved, they should not have to feel like it's their fault or have people accuse them of it.

Another quote that really irritated me was this ""It's shameful what they were saying, calling Muslims terrorists," (Mathilde) I agree with Mathilde, It bothers me sometimes when some people call "Muslims terrorist", I understand there might be some, but NOT ALL Muslims are terrorist and In my opinion, I don't think a person should be called "terrorist" because of their religious belief.

ReplyDeleteThis is just a horrible thing to have happen to anyone, anywhere. And it is true that the people will try to pin the blame on a group that can be distinguished, and i agree that Muslims will most likely be the ones receiving that blame. i believe that is it wrong to judge an entire group of people based on those who take it to the extreme, and take it so far that it becomes an entirely different thing that goes by the same name, "It doesn't represent Islam or the Muslims. It's just a bunch of psychopaths."

"It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault" (Abeichou). It is a terrible thing of what happened in France. But the Muslims shouldn't be blamed from the bombings and everything else in France. They shouldn't be blamed for how they speak and act and how they look like. Not all Muslims are terrorists. I don't think that people should call Muslims terrorists because of their religion. Yes their are some Muslims who are terrorists but not all.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Paris last Friday was terrible. There was no reason for ISIS to attack Paris like that, there is no reason ISIS or anybody else should attack people for no reason. However, people now are going to look at Muslims and think they could have a part with ISIS. I think that is wrong, but on the other hand, you never know who could be apart of ISIS. But some Muslims are terrorists, but not all and not most of them are.
ReplyDeletewhat happened in Paris was devastating.. there was really no definite reason for ISIS to attack them like that. but now people are thinking Muslims are a part of this act too.i thick this is totally uncalled for but u may never know who or what is part of ISIS.
ReplyDelete“More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city(Corsan).” This is an awful event and has impacted far too many people. These terrorists need to be stopped. But, the percentage of terrorist is not near the amount of the muslim population so I do not believe that the whole muslim race is the problem and should not be seen like that.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I think everything that is happening is horrible. The attack in paris was a very sad and tragic day for all of the families who lost someone that day and for all the lives that were lost. Now that this has happened everyone thinks that of they see a Muslim person they are apart of ISIS or will shoot them.

ReplyDeleteI personally think that was ISIS does is extremely inhuman and disgusting. I am a Muslim, and I have always learned that hurting any living thing is a sin "Whoever hurts any person will not smell a whiff of paradise."-Prophet Muhmmad(Quran, 2:256). ISIS is all about violence and hate, bombing their selves under the name of Islam, saying that the are Muslims, when everything they are doing is the opposite of what the Quran says, they are abusing the the name of Islam. More than 120 people died in explosions and gunfire when well-coordinated teams of assailants struck at least six sites across the city" Many innocent people died during the terrorist attack in Paris, Hearing about the attacks that occurred in Paris and Beirut were awful and devastating. It is also sad when people rage into Muslim's and blame them all for what happened, "It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault."(Abeichou), not all Muslims are bad,and not all Muslims are terrorists.

I can't imagine what is going through the minds of those who live in Paris right now. In just a few hours there world has been flipped upside down. I feel bad for the Muslims that currently live in Paris because many people interpret that "their people" committed this act of violence but ISIS is just a terrorist organization and not a religious group. As this quote says,"It's going to be difficult for Muslims in France because some people will say it's their fault," he said, adding: "But I think it should not be complicated, because making that connection is wrong." ISIS needs to go.
ReplyDeleteI think this was a tragic moment for every one around the world. It must be very sad for their family family members especially. I don't think that it is the Muslims fault because they had no connections with the people in Isis. "[The attackers purposely] chose Friday night, and they chose this place full of young French people," I think that it it sad how they specifically targeted one of the most common place to find people and to just murder them. "It's shameful what they were saying, calling Muslims terrorists," she said, her hands shaking as she pulled a cigarette out of her purse." They should not be putting the fault on them but on Isis. The terrorist are now just starting to act just like what happened in San Bernardino. Why would these sick people do this.

The tragic events that took place in Paris were horrible. It shook the world in all places. It is important to not group all Muslims as the ones responsible because it was only a certain group. If we group them all together it will only hurt us. We have to all stand together and not turn on one another simply because of their religion or race.

It would be unjust to abandon fellow citizens that have served beside you and under the French flag.
