The police told him not to hang up the phone. It wasn't the terrorist who did not hang up. The police had video from teh store camera and audip from the phone. Now they wanted to attack before he found out they had attacked the oher hostage site. <br /><br />When he started to pray, they moved in.<br /><br />In the printing plant, there was both the owner and an employee. He told the employee to hide. But theer was not room for two.<br /><br />One cartoonist - the one who drew his week's cover escaped because it was his birthday. He and his wife - it's not clear to me - stayed out the previous night, and that morning he stopped off to eat, so he was so late for work he arrived after the shooting.Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-87648590911426250882015-01-13T06:54:24.522+02:002015-01-13T06:54:24.522+02:00Sammy, it sounds like you could write a modern &qu...Sammy, it sounds like you could write a modern "The Russians are Coming; The Russians are Coming." <br />It was an awful mess, and except for the Jew who tricked the terrorists, and the Muslim supermarket worker who hid some customers, most everything went as wrong as it could.

The guards weren't equipped to stop all who wanted to enter, to check their bodies and bags. The terrorists had easy entry.<br /><br />Actually, it happened this way. <br /><br />There was a staff member/cartoonist who had her toddler in some kind of day care which let out at about 11 am or so. so she went out to get her and take her ack to the office. <br /><br />When she arrived back at the building, the two terrorists aimed a Kalashinkov rifle at her and her daughter and told her to enter the key code to let them in. So she did. They pushed her in, too.<br /><br />They also killed the security guard in the lobby.<br /><br />Then they raced up to the third floor, but that wasn't the right office. So they went back down to the second floor, where I suppose they had the name of the publication on the door. <br /><br />It should maybe be like Alcoholics Anonymous.<br /><br />Inside the offices there was a policeman, the husband of a newspaper editor, that's why he got the job maybe, whose job was to protect a man there. He got off two shots, but was no match for the AK-47s.<br /><br />And that ging up to the third floor first wasn't the only thing. <br /><br />At first they entered the wrong door, or the wrong building. But the people there told them they had the wrong address, and Charlie Hebdo was next door.<br /><br />Why didn't they tell them they were some place far away - 20 to 30 minutes driving, at anonexistent address, or maybe a place that supports terrorism, and if they looked puzzled, tell them they moved - last week.<br /><br />HaChaim V'moves B'Yad Haloshon.<br /><br />This actually happened with someone in the grocery store. A 70year old man was there. He said or they knew he was from North Africa. They asked if he was a Moslem. He said he was a Mussawi, which means follower of Moses, which is a respectful term used by Moslems to describe Jews. <br /><br />Terrorist Amedy Coulibaly apparently misunderstood this to be a form of Islam he hadn’t heard of, <i> <b> and he wasn’t about to reveal his ignorance by asking a question! </b></i> <br /><br />So he treated him all right, and in fact became very friendly/<br /><br />Now maybe I have some of this wrong.Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-49445752049506883042015-01-12T06:36:27.787+02:002015-01-12T06:36:27.787+02:00Mr. Cohen, thank you for the historical data.

Being non-Muslims, these Jews held the inferior status of <i>dhimmi</i>, which, despite giving them protection to worship according to their own faith, subjected them to many vexatious and humiliating restrictions in their daily lives.”<br /><br /><b>SOURCE:</b> <i>In Ishmael’s House: A History of Jews in Muslim Lands</i> (introduction chapter, page xx) by Martin Gilbert, year 2010, published by Yale University PressAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-36058132181651406952015-01-12T04:18:46.338+02:002015-01-12T04:18:46.338+02:00“In the 5th century [of the Common Era] Yemen [the...“In the 5th century [of the Common Era] Yemen [the land immediately south of Saudi Arabia] adopted Judaism as its religion.
