Abstract
The attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015 have raised many questions as to what such acts of violence have to do with culture and religion, and how the academic field of intercultural communication could explain these acts. This article argues that it is best to leave out culture as well as religion when trying to come to terms with these and similar acts of horrorrism, to express more than étatique forms of solidarity, to engage in broader and deeper analysis of culture and communication in the various peripheries of society, and above anything else, to use a language ‘that permits knowledge and encourages the mutual exchange of ideas’ (Toni Morrison).
