Qatar condemns terror attack on Charlie Hebdo
Qatar expressed strong condemnation and denunciation of Wednesday's attack by gunmen on the premises of Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris, which killed and injured several people, mostly journalists.
In a statement issued yesterday, the Foreign Ministry stressed that such acts against defenceless civilians contradict all moral principles and human values.
The ministry extended condolences and sympathy to the French government and the families of the victims, wishing them a speedy recovery.
The French government has launched a manhunt in an effort to capture the suspects. According to recent developments, French police have been able to track the location of suspects.
However, the ordeal is far from over as suspects have taken hostages in a shop and the police is plotting ways to free them, LBC reports.
Two of the suspects have been identified as Cherif, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, according to a report by The Sun.

If the next Liberation Charlie Hebdo issue is a satirical #cartoon about the Holocaust Would that be a freedom of expression or anti-semitism ?
je suis charlie = 11 dead
how about
je suis Syria = 200,000 dead
je suis Iraq = 700, 000 dead
je suis Gaza = 2100 dead in the last airstrike
I dont blame the west,,it is the screwed up Arabs who have zero feelings
Between "The Freedom of Speech" and "Hatred" there is a factor called "WISDOM". I did not see any "WISDOM" in the actions of both Charlie and those who killed him.
A wise person would not do something which hurts other community members even in personal life..in my opinion publicizing such things which a hurts a particular community is not WISE at all.
When the extremists don't really value their own religious teaching, how could they value your absurd freedom of speech which helps no one , except you make some money or a confused fame?
The egghead David would have walked or call for a protest when one of his closed allies closed many media outlets, put many journalists behind bar without trial and killed the freedom of speech with bullets and tanks.
Hypocrisy itself would feel disgusted being possessed by this confused leaders who talk one thing and do another thing and change their promises so often.
I'd say their is a lot more of concern and worry in the Islamic world than worrying so much about cartoons. Please before you start criticism, I not having a go at Islam at all , however some people really need to put things into perspective. If a cartoon upsets you, perhaps yoou should rethink your objectives.
Good Day!! to you all,Am Grace Jones from Ireland, and i had a business but it was closed down because there was no money any longer then i came across the post of John Parker on how he got his loan from (Aliko Dangote Loan Company) then i decided to also contact Aliko Dangote Loan Company on the internet,they help me to gain a loan to start up a business,And now i want to use this medium to congratulate the above company for the fast and safe money they loaned to me 7 days ago without any form of collateral,i got my loan sum of 250,000USD from the company to save my business and lots more, i saw their email on the internet, different people gave their testimony about this loan company, so i quickly contacted them and they also did everything for me without stress and my money was sent to my bank account in less than 48hrs,i was so surprise and felt glad and thankful,Now with the loan i got from them Am now able to live better than before,Now i will advice those who need urgent loan to contact them via [email protected] they will also help you with loan,Mr Aliko Dangote is a very Good man and I know that he will also help you..

The terrorist attack and taking lives must be condemned. But "Free Speech" does not mean that some sick minded pathetic losers start attacking other religions (what so ever the religion may be). "Freedom of Choice" also does not mean that people are allowed to wear skimpy and indecent attires but not allowed to cover their heads and face. What a Hippocratic peace of mind!
Darn auto corrections! Should read not QL ' s moderator
This is not QA ' moderator. This is only a pseudonym.
How incredibly ironic that the moderator of Qatar Living does not recognise Free Speech. It is appalling that you are condoning the attack while the Qatar govt condemns it!

Any way by now Charlie Hebdo must have learnt a lesson the consequences of publishing Cartoons.
