"Charlie" Rallies Continue Amid Global Jihad Threat

The White House announced it will hold a global "Summit on Countering Violent Extremism" next month, but it failed to mention anything about radical Islam, which was the motivation behind the Paris attacks.

Editor's Note: One BCN contact wrote the following report after witnessing the huge march in Paris of solidarity against terrorism this past weekend...

"...After watching the people of France march down the streets and the avenues of France for the last five hours and more, I can say that something happened which was historical and may be even spiritual. Today, it was 'the real people of France' who marched down the streets, not to manifest but to play their part. Today, the heart of France started to beat again. One poster read 'L'Amour au lieu de la haine' meaning 'Love instead of hate!' LOVE NEVER FAILS! and maybe the very nation, who has a reputation for love, suddenly remembered that she possesses the only weapon to defeat the powers of Hell. Amazingly, today was January 11, which reminded one of 9/11. Could it be that even Jesus, today, was marching with the crowd in the streets of France?" -Francine Lovell

(France)—[CBN News] France has ordered 10,000 troops into the streets to protect the nation after last week's terror rampage in Paris.

Fears are spreading that terrorists could unleash new attacks, not only in France but in America too.

Just days after Muslim terrorists killed 17 people in Paris, ISIS is calling on jihadists in the West to strike again.

In a message posted on Twitter, the terror group urges radical Muslims to "strike the soldiers... strike their police... security and intelligence members."

"That environment is still one that gives me great concern, especially—especially those we identify as lone wolves," U.S. Attorney General Eric Hold told ABC’s "This Week."

Sen. Richard Burr, R-Va., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, calls it a war on civilization and says events like the Charlie Hebdo massacre could become weekly occurrences.

"The thing that worries me the most right now is the buzz on social media. Whether it comes from a specific brute like ISIS or whether it's just on the chat rooms, the target is to just go out and kill law enforcement and other officials," he said.

Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., went further, stating she thinks terrorist sleeper cells are hiding in Europe and the U.S., waiting to be activated and carry out more attacks like the ones in France last week.

The new threat comes as more than a million people took to the streets in Paris on Sunday, and millions more in other cities in a show of unity and defiance against terrorism.

The rally cry "I Am Charlie" rang out, honoring those killed in the attacks on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher grocery.
French President Francois Hollande led world leaders, arm-in-arm. The crowd was massive—a size not seen since the liberation of Paris in World War II.

"We are not afraid. We are not afraid," one demonstrator said.

"We have to be here in the memory of these people, innocent people," another protester said.

Although Holder was in Paris, he did not attend the unity march. The White House was slammed for not having a single high ranking official at the event.

The Obama administration did announce it will hold a global "Summit on Countering Violent Extremism" next month. But the announcement failed to mention anything about radical Islam, which was the motivation behind the Paris attacks.
