Raptor10,
I am unsure what the attackers motives were beyond revenge - after the publication of cartoons by Charlie Hebdo. There are those who consider the death of the lady French police officer disrupted an attack on a Jewish school 100m away and so seizing the kosher supermarket may indicate a hatred of the Jewish community (seen before in earlier attacks in 2012, by a lone wolf).
Time will tell if French policies are affected.
I have long thought apart from the profound armed propaganda impact the attackers 'desired behavioral change' is not in us, but amongst those who are already angry and who lack the motivation to violently act. A "Yes we can" objective.
