On the night of 13 November 2015, Paris suffered [[November 2015 Paris attacks|a series of terror attacks]]. In reaction to those events, many individuals, governments, and other organisations around the world expressed their solidarity with France and with the victims. Many world leaders issued statements, mostly strongly condemning the attacks and vowing to stand by and support France. Public vigils took place in many international cities, and a number of world landmarks were illuminated in the colours of the [[Flag of France|French flag]]. Members of the public expressed their solidarity through social media by sharing images, notably the "Peace for Paris" symbol, designed by the French graphic designer [[Jean Jullien (designer)|Jean Jullien]], and through the slogans, "Pray for Paris" and "Je suis Paris" (itself a reference to the phrase "[[Je suis Charlie]]", which was shared widely in the aftermath of the [[Charlie Hebdo shooting|''Charlie Hebdo'' shootings]] in Paris on 7 January 2015).

The [[Muslim Council of Britain]] described the attacks as "horrific and abhorrent" and participated in one of the [[Trafalgar Square]] vigils.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mcb.org.uk/vigil-in-solidarity-with-the-people-of-paris/|title=Vigil in Solidarity with the People of Paris|work=Muslim Council of Britain (MCB)|date=14 November 2015 |access-date=15 November 2015}}</ref> The Council added that "There is nothing Islamic about such people and their actions are evil, and outside the boundaries set by our faith&nbsp;...there is no justification for such carnage whatsoever."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mcb.org.uk/horrific-attacks-in-paris-muslim-council-of-britain-responds/|title=Horrific Attacks in Paris: Muslim Council of Britain Responds|work=Muslim Council of Britain (MCB)|date=14 November 2015 |access-date=15 November 2015}}</ref> The [[Association of British Muslims]] said that "The Muslim faith condemns such acts of violence" and "The attacks in Paris were not aimed just at France or Paris, they are attacks against the values and freedoms we cherish and live by in Europe, they were aimed at all of us."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aobm.org/aobm-statement-on-terror-attacks/|title=The Association of British Muslims – AoBM Statement on Terror Attacks|work=The Association of British Muslims|date=14 November 2015 |access-date=15 November 2015}}</ref>

The Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda, [[al-Nusra Front]], praised the attacks, saying that even though they view ISIL as "dogs of hellfire", they applaud when "infidels" get attacked by ISIL.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/al-nusra-front-back-attacks-paris-despite-opposition-islamic-state-976490550|title=Syria's Nusra Front backs Paris attacks, despite opposition to Islamic State|work=Middle East Eye}}</ref>

In a press release by the [[Australian National Imams Council]], the Grand Mufti of Australia [[Ibrahim Abu Mohamed]] made some controversial remarks that: "These recent incidents highlight the fact that current strategies to deal with the threat of terrorism are not working. It is therefore imperative that all causative factors such as racism, Islamophobia, curtailing freedoms through securitisation, duplicitous foreign policies and military intervention must be comprehensively addressed".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/paris-attacks-australias-grand-mufti-sparks-outrage-after-comparing-attacks-to-racism-and-a6737721.html|title=Paris attacks: Australia's grand mufti sparks outrage after comparing attacks to 'racism and Islamophobia'|first=Alexandra|last=Sims|date=17 November 2015|work=The Independent}}</ref> He received criticism from politicians and the press for not directly condemning the Paris attacks. Which led to a further statement: "We wish to emphasise it is incorrect to imply that the reference to causative factors provides justification for these acts of terrorism." and "Dr. Ibrahim Abu Mohamed have consistently and unequivocally condemned all forms of terrorist violence."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/18/australia-imams-council-denies-grand-mufti-justified-paris-attacks|title=Australia's imams council denies grand mufti justified Paris attacks|work=The Guardian|date=17 November 2015 }}</ref>

The attacks called attention to existing controversy over [[mass surveillance]] and calls for prohibition of [[strong encryption]] or otherwise hard-to-monitor communications.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2015/11/after-paris-encryption-will-be-a-key-issue-in-the-2016-race/|title=After Paris, Encryption Will Be a Key Issue in the 2016 Race|first=Issie|last=Lapowsky|magazine=Wired|date=17 November 2015}}</ref> Shortly after the reports it was reported that a [[PlayStation 4]] unit had been found in the home of one of the suspects, which correlated with Belgian home affairs minister [[Jan Jambon]]'s statement three days before the attack that "The most difficult communication between these terrorists is via PlayStation 4".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/260265-isis-terrorists-may-have-used-playstations-to-plan-paris-attacks/|title=ISIS may have used PlayStations to plan Paris attacks|author=Katie Bo Williams|work=The Hill|date=16 November 2015}}</ref> Though not encrypted, PlayStation chats allow millions of customers to speak with people they would not otherwise know, complicating the [[traffic analysis]] that can expose patterns even in encrypted communications when the participants in a conversation are identified.  Comments after the attack by American CIA Director [[John O. Brennan|John Brennan]] blamed disclosures by [[Edward Snowden]] and availability of encryption for aiding terrorist networks,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/us/after-paris-attacks-cia-director-rekindles-debate-over-surveillance.html?ref=world&_r=0|title=After Paris Attacks, C.I.A.

At the second political debate in the [[2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries|2016 U.S. Democratic presidential primary]], when [[Bernie Sanders]] was asked whether after the attacks he still believed that the greatest threat to national security was climate change, he explained that climate change was related to rising terrorism, because it caused competition over resources.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/260465-gop-senators-rip-sanders-for-linking-terror-climate/|title=GOP senators rip Sanders for linking global terror, climate change|work=The Hill|date=17 November 2015|first=Devon|last=Henry}}</ref>
