Pray for Paris

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the worst violence witnessed in France since World War II, a volley of nearly simultaneous terror attacks that the French President called "an act of war."

The assailants targeted six sites Friday night in Paris, the deadliest being a massacre at a concert hall where at least 80 people were killed.

In all, French authorities put the number of dead at 128, though the death toll is expected to fluctuate as the situation becomes clearer.

The threat of ISIS is well-known, with the jihadist group's atrocities in Syria and Iraq being met with condemnation and airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition that includes France.

Whenever I hear things like this, it breaks my heart. Terrorism must be defeated no matter the cost. We cannot go on living in fear on our own soil. We cannot continue as if these incidents don't happen. America has to man up and do something. I am sick and tired of Obama making stupid claims about ISIS. I am fed up of reading about ISIS now that they have teamed up with boko haram. It was such a relief to hear from my friend in Paris following the incident, I am especially glad he wasn't hurt. Say a prayer for Paris. Pray for Nigeria. Pray for world peace. 

The lights on the eiffel tower went out on the city of light and other monuments around the world were lit up in the colours of the French flag in a sign of solidarity.
