So sad and closely touched by this attack ! Till now, I was seeing all those events on TV, happening into far away countries but within an overnight, to constate that more than 168 Parisians had under our windows, succumbed to the attack and bomblast of barbaric tyrans, who barged in our country to destabilise the Democracy and government in place, and spell terror in every spirit is !!!! This isn't RELIGION !!! How saddening it is !!! A Friday night, it happened when people were on weekends, students, friends decided to spend some quality time, out with their friends and dear ones, to a concert or opt to go for a drink in a bar, and than they would never return back home, to their close ones, lost their life in one night because of some tyrannical and egoistic ideologists !!!!
