Aljazeera is reporting that the French government is restricting right to assemble until Thursday.
Are they thinking they will be stopping ISIS having access to large targets?

In his 2003 book Terror and Liberalism, Paul Berman argues that distinct cultural boundaries do not exist in the present day. He argues there is no "Islamic civilization" nor a "Western civilization", and that the evidence for a civilization clash is not convincing, especially when considering relationships such as that between the United States and Saudi Arabia. In addition, he cites the fact that many Islamic extremists spent a significant amount of time living and/or studying in the Western world. According to Berman, conflict arises because of philosophical beliefs various groups share (or do not share), regardless of cultural or religious identity.[19]
Edward Said issued a response to Huntington's thesis in his 2001 article, "The Clash of Ignorance".[20] Said argues that Huntington's categorization of the world's fixed "civilizations" omits the dynamic interdependency and interaction of culture. A longtime critic of the Huntingtonian paradigm, and an outspoken proponent of Arab issues, Edward Said (2004) also argues that the clash of civilizations thesis is an example of "the purest invidious racism, a sort of parody of Hitlerian science directed today against Arabs and Muslims" (p. 293).[21]
Noam Chomsky has criticized the concept of the clash of civilizations as just being a new justification for the United States "for any atrocities that they wanted to carry out", which was required after the Cold War as the Soviet Union was no longer a viable threat.

I can't recall a similar petition when the IRA was bombing civilians in the both Northern Ireland and England, can you? It's been established that at least one of the attackers was a French national apparently, so not too sure closing borders is keeping the enemy out when it's already within.
At least five people were killed and seven injured after a train derailed and plunged into a canal in France, according to local reports.
Photographs of the wreckage show its carriages half submerged in the water outside Eckwersheim, Strasbourg.
Rescue workers were seen approaching the mangled train on rubber dinghies and tending to the wounded by the side of the canal.
It is not known what caused the test TGV to come off the tracks or whether the death toll is expected to rise.

A simple search online shows them speaking out. The media isn't going to show it on TV because it goes against their agenda.

A large majority of muslims will not support terrorism. However, it is laughable when muslims tweet, "ISLAM MEANS PEACE". The quran has a large section about war.
Quran - Spoils of War
Most people are just trying to live their lives in peace. However, Islam is a breeding ground for intolerance and radicalism.
I don't think anyone should be judged for being a muslim. Although, the middle east would be much better without Islam.
