U.S. Republicans see a clash of civilizations. French president says no.

But French President François Hollande, whose nation's capital was the scene of carnage last week, does not agree with this talking point.

On Monday, he addressed the French Parliament, declaring, "France is at war." But he specifically rejected the rhetoric espoused by politicians such as Rubio and, closer to home, the far-right leader Marine Le Pen.

"We are not committed to a war of civilizations, because these assassins don't represent any civilization," Hollande said. "We are in a war against terrorism, jihadism, which threatens the whole world."

This admission did not come at the expense of tough action. French jets have already pounded Islamic State redoubts in Syria, while Hollande has plans to expand France's paramilitary forces and urged lawmakers to approve a three-month extension to the current national state of emergency
