What do you think after watching the terrorist attacks in Paris?

Having just entered 2015, Paris was hit by another terrorist attack, which greatly impacted the already increasing insecurity of the people living here.

From the comments on French Chinese websites, you can see that local Chinese netizens have slightly different reactions from the French. They are more worried about their own safety and dissatisfied with the French immigration policy. Compared with the French, the Chinese seem to feel more harassment, theft, and robbery from Albanians. However, the inability to solve crimes, the futility of calling the police, and the frequent occurrence of cases in areas where Chinese merchants are concentrated are all causes of dissatisfaction among the Chinese.

In addition, many Chinese believe that France’s social welfare supports lazy people. The Chinese are law-abiding and work hard. They are “good people” among immigrants, but they are not taken seriously. However, the former French colony in French-speaking Africa Immigrants cause trouble everywhere, but the "troublemakers" among immigrants are not punished as they should be. This incident gave some netizens an opportunity to complain, thinking that the French themselves have made France more and more unsafe.

A little perspective on the incident

First of all, I was shocked. After living in Paris for several years, I have often felt the security threats posed by frequent Muslim terrorist attacks and theft and robbery. I am not impressed by the inaction of the French police, but I am still shocked by such cold-blooded attacks and indiscriminate killings of innocent people. A dozen families were destroyed in an instant. The attackers undoubtedly committed a heinous crime, and everyone living in Paris lost their sense of security. This fear will not be eliminated for a long time. There are also worries, because if this reality continues to develop, everyone may be killed by such cold-blooded shooting in an instant!

The second is to think about press freedom and the bottom line of the profession. France is a country that advocates freedom. The democracy, freedom and equality won through the bourgeois revolution are not only engraved on the lintels of city government agencies, but also melted into the blood of most French people. In the press, this is reflected in the high degree of press freedom. big. "Charlie Hebdo" has repeatedly published satirical cartoons of the Prophet of Islam since 2006, arousing the anger of Muslims. In 2011, its office was attacked by a firebomb. However, it continued to publish despite strong protests and attacks, which shows that its publication The purpose and style have not been influenced or restricted in any way. However, in France, which has many Muslim immigrants and different religious beliefs, satirizing another religious leader with an extremely exposed, vulgar and unbearable picture, is it also suspected of overusing the right of public speaking? Just imagine, if the protagonists of those satirical scenes were Christian or Buddhist religious leaders, how would their followers feel? Who can guarantee that hatred will not be buried and extreme incidents will not occur? Improper use of language and cartoons can sometimes lead to violence. This is where journalists should reflect on themselves.

Once again, there is the concern about using violence to fight violence. Terrorist attacks launched out of dissatisfaction with weekly cartoons and in order to avenge Allah will of course be condemned by the world. However, in the face of more and more terrorist attacks that are getting closer and closer, we have to think deeply: Who is the world today? Has it set a precedent of using violence to fight violence? When a sovereign country can be attacked at will by major powers, and armed intervention is the norm in the world if it fails to meet the wishes of major powers, how can anyone dare to expect that he will always be treated as an exception? I once read the four-volume version of "The War in the Middle East". I sighed and sighed that I was glad that I did not live there. But who knows how far the momentum of using violence to fight violence will go? How long will the joy of the past last? Will our once safe zone still be that safe?

Tolerating different beliefs and religions, accepting the diverse choices of different countries and ethnic groups, and respecting the feelings of weak and small ethnic groups when big and powerful countries respect each other, this is the way today's world should be and can create long-lasting harmony.

If this terrorist attack that shocked France and the world does not prompt people who have the power to influence the world situation to reflect, those victims will become the forerunners, and I don’t know how many people will be forced to follow them in the future!
