Impressive to say the least.
It has to come to this defining moment of unity from all believers, whatever they believe, to stand against killers in the name of a 'god'.

They are saying that they may hold differing beliefs of religion but they hold the same belief when it comes to murderers, terrorists, & those who would deny freedom of speech in seeking notoriety for themselves.

There should be a few more Nations represented today. Show up. Back up their words of condolences.

I sincerely hope in months to come this unity continues & grows & forces those who murder for the shock value to gain recognition, are successfully demeaned, disowned & suppressed from those of the world wanting to exist in a peaceful society.

Perhaps the horror of the murders in Paris will move leaders to change the power of such hate.

One can hope.

heads in the studio, the rest of the networks do not seem to have journalists anywhere and have to fly talking heads out to the field.
