They cannot break democracies that stand together." Finland's Prime MinisterJuha Sipila says "we must not give space for fear and intolerance." After laying flowers outside the French Embassy Saturday, Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said "the perpetrators must be pursued and defeated. We will never give up."
