This morning in Paris, France, three gunmen shouting Islamic slogans invaded the offices of a French satirical newspaper with murder on their minds:

Footage of masked gunmen firing in the street, yelling “Allahu Akbar!”

The gunmen killed 12 people, wounding 11 others.

There is no question this is another terror attack by Muslim fanatics who are waging war against nearly everybody.

Every country on Earth is being impacted by the jihad.

Yet we still, still will not admit the truth about this ongoing war.

BARACK OBAMA: “The one thing that I’m very confident about is that the values that we share with the French people -- the belief, a universal belief in the freedom of expression is something that can’t be silenced because of the senseless violence of the few.”

But it isn't the few.  The jihadists have strongholds in at least a dozen countries.  They have killed thousands of American military people and tens of thousands of civilians.

They are occupying thousands of miles of territory in the Middle East and ISIS fanatics are beheading civilians on camera.

President Obama should know the word few is erroneous.

These people are waging a world war, and it will be a never-ending war unless the entire world comes together to defeat the Islamic jihad.

But many people will not even admit this is about fringe Islam.

HOWARD DEAN (D), FORMER VERMONT GOVERNOR:  “You know, this is a chronic problem.  I stopped calling these people Muslim terrorists.  They're about as Muslim as I am.  I mean, they have no respect for anybody else's life, that's not what the Koran says.  Europe has an enormous radical problem.  I think ISIS is a cult.  Not an Islamic cult.  I think it's a cult.”

That's just dumb.  ISIS recruits fanatical Muslims.  That's it.  They don't recruit flower children from San Francisco.

Howard Dean does not know what he's talking about.  He's in a state of denial and there are many others like him.

Now the French newspaper that was attacked by the jihadists had printed cartoons of Mohammed and poked fun at Islam.

In the jihad world, that is a capital crime.

In 2012, White House spokesman Jay Carney actually warned the publication.

JAY CARNEY, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: “We don’t question the right of something like this to be published; we just question the judgment behind the decision to publish it.” 

That's a message of weakness, although I understand Mr. Carney's point of view.  If you don't have to antagonize fanatical killers, don't.

But the real issue is confronting the jihad.

In Europe, many people are getting fed up about 18,000 Germans recently demonstrated against Muslims living in their own country.

These Germans were not protesting the jihad per se.  They are angry with Islam in general and that's a growing trend in Europe.

But that stuff does little good.

What should be happening is a coordinated effort among the nations of the world to fight the jihadists and punish countries that enable them.

And if Pakistan for example aids the terrorists, then all business should be cut off -- Pakistan and other countries like it should be pariahs …. isolated.

But the world will not do that.  Thus the jihad lives and 12 more people die in Paris, France.

And that's the memo.
