A series of terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13 made the whole world shudder with horror. Islamic terrorists got the message across. France’s government blames the extremist group ISIL on the violence. Last Friday, Paris suffered six simultaneous attacks, which left 129 people dead and around 300 badly wounded. The worst single attack occurred at Le Bataclan, a large concert hall, where over 120 people were shot down.
