Paris terror attacks on Friday 13th

Thoughts go out to the victims of this heartless, shocking crime.

Terrorism has no religion. Anyone trying to label and blame over 1 billion people for the actions of a few nutcases is a moron trying to propagate their bullshit right wing agenda.

Yeah I'm almost positive that all those "quotes" are completely made up. There's nothing in the book promoting violence

This kind of liberalism is so self defeating.

It's not liberalism, it's the ability to see that radicalism isn't reflective of the initial thought or teachings. What will be defeating is if we start thinking like you and writing off a whole religion and targeting people based on their religion because extremists are unjustly using it's name as justification of their acts.

True, but i think you have to ask your self would you risk your life, your family's lives to go to a football tournament, espicially if there is another atrocity between now and the tournament, as of now i can see a lot of people cancelling on it.

And this has nothing to do with religion but power, a guy who happened to be muslim wants to live like a prince and he is ready to do anything to achieve that, his minions are just gullible imbeciles.

I do go out, just not high profile events in DC (or other cities if im thete). That day hit me a little hard. I was in Pennsylvania and our radio station was obviously very rattled by the plane going down in Pennsylvania. My wife was in DC and I couldn't get hold of her for several hours because all the phones were down. In our lab of 6, 1 had a husband on a flight from Boston that morning and another had a daughter in the world trade center. Not a good day and today's events just amplify it for me.
 
Rip to those lost.
Can help but feel the pain of my Muslim colleagues at times like this. This is not Islam nor representative of millions of people. Yet they will be the ones that get the shady looks and bigoted media comments.

He has a point no European country is ready for this kind of terrorism.

No he does not! I'm not going to enter another debate about this all I'm going to say is that Israel is not an innocent party in that conflict. Lets stick to the matter at hand which is the terrible things happening in Paris.

Seemingly random choice of targets tonight- usually these types of attacks aim at very symbolic sites or events, but random restaurants and concerts appears to signal a new phase in this kind of thing.

It depends on their goal. In this case, it is to sow terror throughout the public and remove the sense of security that we feel in our day-to-day lives. With free movement throughout Europe, the effects won't be limited just to France. It could happen in Berlin, Oslo, Rome, etc. or at least that's the intent. With the huge number of refugees, there's the specter of more terrorists all around.

You are confusing Muslims with terrorists, not all white people are KKK members. There are abnormalities in every single grouping.

Was thinking this earlier, the best thing to do would be to have a great tournament and for Europe as a whole to show solidarity.

Cheers mate. Nice to see amidst the last couple pages in particular. These events are a double whammy for us Muslims living in the West. We get the same fear everyone else does, but then we also have to be scared of our neighbours who think we're to blame.

Oh so you must be someone who thinks if Islam didn't exist then all these problems would suddenly disappear? Don't be naive. And I have family that's muslim but I'm not religious at all, mainly because it's all a load of boring bs basically. It's just I know that it doesn't promote violence and very much condemns it. Sure it has it's questionable views on stuff, but I very much doubt that those quotes are in any way real.

so Islam is to blame?

Yes and no its the eye of the beholder that is to blame and what that person sees when he reads the Quran and what he preaches is to blame, a delusional psychotic person will absorb the text in a completely different way to the normal everyday person, he will pick out the parts that justify's what he does.
 
What a tragic situation.
Personally finding it very hard to understand what on earth could compel a human shooting indiscriminately at masses of people. Bastards deserve to die a painfully slow death.

Of course, and that's a big problem. You could shut down all major events and such, so there weren't any obvious targets. You could highly restrict access to, and heavily guard, public transit. And so on. You'd save lives by doing that, but at what cost?

There's probably no right answer, but I personally believe the best thing we can do is carry on with our lives as we've done. Security should be heightened of course, but not to an extent where it's severely limiting the freedom our forefathers did their best to secure us. As much as these attacks hurt, we can't let them destroy everything we've build.
 
May be a strange question, but outside of the suicide bombers and those atthe concert hall, no other terrorists have been killed/captured? Are they still at large or have I missed something?

Correct. They are at large as far as anyone knows.
 
Yep, Sky News have just asked, where are those who attacked the restaurant...

I was wondering that too, must be still at large unless the ones at the concert were responsible for the restaurant?

It could be that the same perpetrators attacked multiple targets.
