Marco Rubio Calls Out 'Islamic Extremists' for Terrorism in Paris

From his perch on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio ripped into Islamic extremists for the terrorist attack in Paris at the Charlie Hebdo magazine office.

I was saddened to learn of the terrorist attack that claimed 12 lives at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris earlier today, Rubio said on Wednesday. These journalists and satirists were apparently killed by Islamic extremists for exercising the fundamental human right of free speech and expression. These terrorists dont hate cartoons, they hate freedom. Theyre willing to target anyone and destroy anything in the name of intimidating free people and spreading their cruel and hateful dogmas. It is important for the United States and free nations everywhere to oppose these forces with strength and vigilance. Today, the United States must stand unequivocally with the people of France in their time of need and mourning. We must assist them to bring the perpetrators and sponsors of this act to justice.
