I remember that evening very well.
I was watching television when the first images were transmitted live from Paris.
It was terrible, it was the second attack I could watch on television after the September 11 attacks in New York City.
It was a massacre. 130 people were killed and more than 400 were wounded in a coordinated islamic terrorist attack.
I do not forgive! I do not forget! Take a moment and remember!
Take a moment and remember!
«Well let me tell you something. There’s a big difference between a country in which the flag is waved only by hooligans in a stadium and a country where it’s waved by the entire population. Waved, for example, by indomitable workers who dig in the ruins to come up with an ear or nose of the creatures slaughtered by the sons of Allah.
The truth is that America is a special place, my friend. A country to envy, to be jealous of, for reasons that have nothing to do with wealth et cetera. It’s special because it was born out of a need of the soul, the need to have a homeland, and out of the most sublime idea that Man has ever conceived: the idea of liberty, or rather of liberty married to the idea of equality. It’s special also because the idea of liberty wasn’t fashionable at the time. Nor was the idea of equality.» – ORIANA FALLACI, Anger and Pride.
