The Western world never seem to learn from their mistakes when come to dealing with the Muslims world. They make one mistake after another.
They want to impose their way of life on a culture completely alien and opposed to theirs.
Why do fanatical Muslims want to hurt and kill Westerners?
The story goes since way back to the creation of the state of Israel and Jewish atrocities against Palestinians, the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, the Arab Spring to the present Western involvement in the dismantling of Assad of Syria.
In Syria with the help of the Saudis they again created another monster, ISIS.
The 9/11 attack in the US was the culmination of Muslims anger against the West. The lull was only a calm before the storm. The Muslim ogre has grown bigger, richer, more organised and crueller.
Over the decades the West, with their 'might is right' attitude had cast aspersions on the Muslim world. Many of the attacks on Western targets were retaliations and revenge. The tit-for-tat kind of thing. Thousands of Muslims killed as collateral damage in indiscriminate bombings in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen mean nothing to the West. Muslim lives are cheap and can be done with, but they make a big show out of a few beheading of their own by fanatical Muslims. Fanatical Muslims were appalled with this kind of double standard.
Claims by the US that their weapons have bullseye accuracy were pure fabrication because every attack on so-called terrorist targets killed more innocent bystanders than the target itself.
Muslims also see the West as untrustworthy and horrible user and abuser. The Mujahideens, Saddam Hussien and Al Qaeda, financed and used by them to fight a common enemy have all turned against them.
The attack on the newspaper office purportedly because of a cartoon insulting Mohammad and Islam, is to the attackers the end justifies the means, seemingly trivial to the Westerners but a big insult to some crazy Muslims.
The Paris attack may only just be the beginning. More frequent attacks should be expected coming from ISIS, which have cells in every Western countries.
Fanatical Muslims who are prepared to die for their cause.
Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, senior leader and official spokesman for ISIS has called on the members to take retribution, to kill without question and by any means necessary civilians and soldiers from the Western alliance.
The world has become a very unsafe place, you don't know where and when they are going to strike.
The writer condemn this dastardly act of violence against civilians.

May I ask this lamed historian has he done any proper research who created the monster ISIS? ... and in the past, the making of Saddam Hussein, the Mujaheedins, Osama and Al-qaeda and the Contras of Nicaragua?
Who are the devils that created these monsters?
ISIS was created by the US, Israel and Britain to destabilise Syria and the whole of the Middle East region using Islam as the bogeyman to sway world's opinion against Islam and Muslims. The Zionist agenda include the extermination of small pockets of Christians to strengthen the doctrine that Islam is an evil religion. Many top brass in ISIS were trained by CIA and Mossad coaxing the use of unspeakable violence against its enemies to instil fear in the population. Killing Christians would give added value to the monstrosity of Islam.
Like everything else the Western powers had created in the past, the monsters they created went out of control and came back to bite them in the asses.
ISiS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was recruited by the CIA after the American released him from Camp Bucca during the Iraqi War and was later trained by the CIA and Mossad to fit their long term plan for the Middle East region.
One should ask why not have the US and its Western allies executed military intervention in Iraq to stop the ISIS advancement?
Even more perplexing, the Iraqi soldiers numbering almost 1.0 million strong trained by the US military have bolted,or were asked not to resist the ISIS advancement in Iraq.
Why?
What happened in Iraq is not Muslims killing Christians, it's Christians sponsored atrocities against Christians, who had become dispensable commodity in furtherance of Israel and Western powers imperialistic agenda for the region.
That's why the West is silent.
Islam is not evil, every level-headed Muslim knows that and it's plain to see there are many stupid Muslims around the world, who are easily cheated and tempted by money and power at the expense of their own religion.
To me they are not Muslims, they are heretics, or murtad.

There have been talks of Western military intervention in Libya, particularly the U.S, itching to put an end to Gaddafi's rule and to secure the oil fields to avoid another world's economic calamity.
Oils reserves in Libya are largest in Africa and ninth largest in the world and have one of the lowest extraction cost, reason why Gaddafi is flush with money.
The revolution and U.S sanctions have fused together international banks refusing to clear U.S dollars for the Libyan oil trade.For the moment no one is getting money for oil which has brought almost all transactions to a halt.Production has plummeted from 1.3 million barrels to under 600,000 barrels per day.
Countries in Europe would be the first to face the dire consequence as most Libyan oil goes to Europe.
No Arab countries have yet made a call for Western military intervention for what is seen as an Arab revolution and Arab problem festering in the region.Other than some American politicians urging U.S military intervention it was all quiet on the Western front.No leaders outside America's borders have called for military intervention.The Europeans are stung by the Iraq military misadventure.
American military intervention in Libya would indeed be catastrophic.
To the Arabs, fear of Western military intervention, whether they are rebels in Libya or street protesters in other Arab nations ......the answer is clearly Iraq.
Iraq is a lesson that has gone completely wrong.America's democracy in despair.
When the Western powers entered Iraq to get rid of Sadam Hussein, which they successfully did, they did not expect continued resistance that have put Iraq in total chaos and taking the lives of more Iraqi civilians than what Saddam had killed during his reign of terror.
Much of Iraq are still unsafe with pockets of resistance unleashing deadly bombing from time to time killing innocent civilians rather than the intended victims.......the U.S military, safely sheltered in the Green Zone.
What have the American achieved in Iraq?
A very unstable government and fragile democracy.
All hell will break loose the moment the U.S military leaves Iraq.Arm resistance and guerrilla warfare would continue to beset the country as long as the American continue to stay in Iraq and civil war is much in the offing the moment they leave.Damned if you do damned if you don't. Iraq, may need another Saddam Hussein to stabilise the country.
There is no clear picture who is the unchallenged leader of the rebellion in Libya, if anything to go by, the rebels are very splintered and disorganised, giving Gaddafi the edge over them at the moment.
U.S.military intervention would make Libya into another Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's time the U.S. take stocks of its damaging foreign policy and stay out of conflicts that do not concern them.
