French President François Hollande Says #CharlieHebdo Attacks 'Have Nothing to Do With Muslim Religion...'

Well, I guess this is ironic, considering how I was just praising the French counterterrorism operations, but the French president is the elected (and temporary) leader of the nation. Members of the the GIGN (National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) are career professionals carrying out policies and procedures that are often decades in the making.

Hollande has been criticized as "weak and indecisive" vis-à-vis homegrown jihad, and boy, it shows. Via CNN:

“Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion,” Pres. Hollande says of #ParisAttacks. http://t.co/7Bxdhozq4H
