It's not just what THEY want, it's exactly what the sinister and powerful interested parties with their grubby fingers around the neck of the entire planet want. Again: not Muslims.

Islamic Extremism is a tool used by people who are not religious at all to further their own unfathomable goals and to shape the world. These are mostly powerful, horrendously wealthy Western men. They use Islam because, frankly, only someone devoutly religious can be duped into throwing away their life and the lives of others by committing these atrocities, and Islam is the only truly devout religion left on any sort of scale.

They push the buttons and pull the strings. Many terrorist attacks are carried out be legitimate extremist groups - spurred on by, or copycat attacks of, certain key events.

Charlie Hebdo absolutely reeks of being one of these key events. As soon as the story broke it didn't feel quite right. The surgical execution of the plan, the conveniently placed evidence, the perfectly framed killshots, the blanket media coverage and the speed of apprehension. And of course, the expected public reaction that will only nurture above mentioned legitimate cells and copycat attacks. It smacks of false flag terrorism. I hate that this is so clear to me. It makes the fuming racism all over Facebook even more ****ing depressing.
