THE WORLD SHOWS IT’S UNITY AGAINST EXTREMISTS

We all witnessed history on Saturday as over 40 world leaders and some 3.7 million people rallied and marched through the streets of Paris in a show of global unity against terrorism and Islamic extremists. The nationally and racially diverse crowd held signs in support of those killed in the recent terror attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French magazine, and a Kosher grocery store where 17 people were killed along with three terrorists. High ranking government officials present at the march included British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and of course French President Francois Hollande. It is great to see the world come together to stop the evil acts perpetrated by these extremists groups. Pictured below is some of the world leaders walking arm and arm at the Unity Rally.
