Paris terror attacks on Friday 13th

Are you Caucasian, preferably blonde? Been searched with a drug sniffing dog, once had to strip down to my underwear in front of people waiting in line, also had some spray being put into my luggage that was supposed to show dangerous substances I guess. My personal highlight was when at the gate when we were boarding I was the ONLY one from the whole plane to be pulled out by an air marshal or someone like that and being questioned about the purpose of my trip in an extra room. I was 16 and wanted to visit my host family after a student exchange a year earlier.Crazy really.
I am not saying that people of colour don't get profiled. I am only saying that security there tonight will be way beyond the norm. In what country did you have to strip to your underwear in front of people?
USA
The incident at the gate was in Germany.
That is terrible. I hope that you don't get treated like that in the UK. I can believe the US being like that but you you should be able to sue for that.

Have to wait for an official statement as we've had a few false reports before. Lets hope this isn't true.
Muslim man in Northampton asked what he's doing about ISIS
17-11-15
A 38-YEAR-OLD Muslim working as a land surveyor in Northampton has been asked how he plans to stop ISIS.
Mohammed Rahman, who was born in Kettering and attends mosque around four times a year, has been informed that responsibility for halting ISIS rests with the Muslim community and that means him.
He said: “Tony in marketing came over specially to ask how I was fighting creeping radicalisation in young Muslims. They seemed disconcerted when I said my daughters preferred 5SOS, which I then had to explain was an Australian boy band.
“Pam in the postroom wanted to know if I was going on an anti-ISIS march. I said I would if there was one going on, and she pursed her lips.
“Then I got called into the management meeting to tell them whether airstrikes could be effective against Syria or if we needed boots on the ground.
“I said I didn’t know. They didn’t say anything, but I felt like I’d let them down.”
Rahman decided to make an effort by leaving critical comments under an ISIS video on YouTube, following which he was placed on MI5 and CIA watch lists.
They have those Daily Mash pieces above the urinals in my local. Always make me chuckle.
no official reports yet on the car bomb
These people are easier to exploit, majority of these fools get brainwashed online, if you stick to the mainstream it rarely happens. In a way i can see the justification in all these new snooping legislation proposed, i do believe it would help identify the majority of these people at an early stage.
This is not what this term means.
Some interesting stuff in the article but also some misunderstanding and inaccuracies about the religion.
E.g i doubt you will find a Muslim that would deny that the period of the Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) stay in Medina was the Islamic ideal.

In Barcelona shortly after the bombings in 2004, some friends and I were going through security. One ginger, two blond hair/blue eyes, and an Indian are going through. The ginger and my blond friend were pulled aside to open their luggage and have it gone through. They had bought swords as souvenirs in their checked bags so the guys with the guns weren't especially happy with that. They saw me and the Indian guy going through but chose them. We were all 16/17 so thought it was hilarious that they didn't profile him.

I think I'd spend all my energy and resources on changing the Muslim communities mindset.
Firstly, I'd get a message out living amongst non-Muslims is a blessing and an opportunity to be ambassadors of Islam. This gives us an opportunity to show the virtues of our faith. Our conduct should be so good in our daily dealings it should captivate whosoever sees us and accepts us in a positive way. We should basically leave an everlasting impression on everyone who comes into contact with us in everyday life. A life of piety will immediately attract people's attention.
Secondly, I'd urge Muslims not to live an insular lifestyle, failing to manifest the beauty of our faith. We must earn our place in our host country. Leave an imprint on the host community of our usefulness. We must demonstrate our existence here is more beneficial than that of the locals. We have to demonstrate we are a blessing and mercy anywhere we live. We cannot just live in an enclosed environment with just our prayers and fasting, negligent to our neighbours and society.
Third, we need to strengthen our position everywhere in the world through deeds I have mentioned above. We need to earn our recognition. Display a noble character. Live as you would as a guest. Strive to master the national language and become proficient so that you can use it effectively. This way the world will begin to love us and our faith, we will then see people stand to defend us. If there is the slightest opposition against us, they will be the first ones to argue on our behalf and vouch what a blessing we are for them.
Fourth, don't get engrossed in pointing fingers at other nations. (I need to take note) Don't believe any present Islamic groups are fighting for a just cause. Remember every person that gets killed without faith is a victory for the satan. Our victory as Muslims is to take every individual on this earth to heaven through being exemplary in our conduct. Power and land are always only temporary as history has proved. That's not our goal.
When martyrdom is basically a cheat code to heaven, why bother with the rest?
Heading back from the game! Wasn't searched or profiled or anything ! UK rules.
Logic dictates the terrorists wouldn't target events immediately after last week knowing security would be at the highest level.
Counter logic dictates they would very much want to target another event immediately in order to prove that enhanced security won't stop them.
Amazing post, and a bit of an eye opener.
How tight what security Compared to the average game?
Genuinely - Did you not see what happened in Germany tonight?
I was watching the game. Please don't say there's been another terrorist attack?
Germany Match Cancelled Over 'Concrete Threat' - news.sky.com

Has this been posted?
Yea it was pretty noticeable. Lot of policemen / lot of armed policemen, from the tube platform all the way down Wembley way to turnstiles and inside. Also patrolling the shops around the tube station too.
Logic is out the window with these guys, akh.
I seriously doubt it
What? After the attacks? How is that possible and noone didn't recognized him?
Very sage words mate.
Not sure I should post the link to it here, but the IS's English-language magazine Dabiq ran an interview with the guy believed to be the mastermind (Abdelhamid Abaaoud, aka Abu Omar al-Baljiki) behind this back in January, it's vol. 7 of the magazine, easy to find online.
That's mental. Surely that can't be him considering he fled to Belgium? No way he'd have come back to France and not get identified.
It was pointed out to me that people might not want to be searching for this stuff online, but would still be interested to read the interview so here's a c&p:
Think I first saw it the day after the attack doing the rounds on social media. Did he flee after then? He appears to wink at the camera.
Also says "F**k them"
IS have a magazine? Dafuq?
I was worried about it though. If they could pull it off it would have shown they could do what they want, even when security is at it's highest.
That would really cause mass fear and change people's thoughts on doing certain things IMO.
(Just seen Phurry said something similar)
I think a big reason behind certain people wanting to become part of IS is to be part of some kind of brotherhood, a family of sorts where they feel like they've all got one another's backs and get treated as if they're important the more they behave like they're expected to (I think the same about gangs and even genuine religion to an extent, although obviously in a completely different way).
I'd bet half of them weren't anywhere near as 'religious' until they got involved.

Everyone is freaking out. Look at what someone sent me.
Bitch please.
Bitch please.
Somebody asked in a different thread how isis were funding themselves. Heard earlier that their black market oil is netting them $50million a month. That's pretty serious revenue!
Flight from LA to Paris diverted to Salt Lake City. Bomb threat apparently....
