European Terror Attacks
At least 10 dead. :(

Possibly too early to suggest motive but they have wound up followers of a certain religion recently with cartoons depicting a certain prophet. |
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
Now says 11 dead and 10 injured.
Horrific |

I came home to find my missus in tears as her bro works in that area of Paris.
I hope these cowardly, murderous **** die horribly and slowly. Also those who aided, supported, trained and brainwashed them :mad: |
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
I really don't understand the mentality of people who can do this sort of thing, especially when the reason boils down to an attack on freedom of speech. Insulting the great God? Cartoons? Words written on paper? I'd have thought any God worthy the name would be above all that but then Gods can't choose their followers can they and it's quite clear how their word can be cynically misinterpreted by mortals...
The authorities here won't be wanting to cause panic but you have to wonder just how many of the attacks which have been foiled here in recent times could have resulted in carnage. I think we all need to accept that it's inevitable sooner or later. |

It will be interesting to see how the French react to this.
they'll react a lot more than the pansy British ever will. I expect there will be more to come. and it will escalate. |
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
Breaking on Euronews is that there's something kicking off in the 11th Arrondissement area of Paris with numerous unmarked police cars having been seen in pursuit of something. Lets hope they've either got the murders or it's a false alarm as opposed to a second major incident.
|
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
After seeing the murder of the injured Police officer with no hesitation or second thoughts I'm in no doubt the attackers have received some form of military training and battle hardening and wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if it turns out they have been in Syria in the recent past.

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
News reports on French radio and TV are showing demands for "calm and order" following these obscene murders, but it is obvious that anti-muslim sentiment is ready to boil over countrywide. And maybe even Europe wide, a day after anti-islamification rallies in Germany were confronted by liberals demanding "calm and order".
WW3 is already in progress against an cowardly enemy that hides in plain sight amongst the masses of their "religion". |
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
But over-reaction (against the general Muslim population) is exactly what these terrorists/idiots want....
|
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
The truth is that these **** would think nothing of murdering anyone who doesn't share their extreme views, other Muslims included. Decent people of all races and beliefs need to come together to root out and remove these people from society one way or another. I hope the extreme right wing politicians who've been gaining popularity don't fall into the trap which has been set for them.

Unfortunately that does not work with religious nut jobs who kill in the name of there God. The only way to deal with them is put them down like you would a rabid animal. I feel sorry for the law abiding people who wish no harm on anyone but will be targeted now because of these religious nut jobs. |

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
I have friends who live in Paris and work in various areas of security and the one thing, aside from the evident professionalism with which this attack has been carried out, that is intriguing them is the fact that there is no evidence of an attempt at suicide on the part of the perpetrators. That's quite alarming as it would suggest they have more in store for the people of Paris and, in all probability, further afield.

As long as there are people on this planet there will be terrorists and as long as there are terrorists, innocent (and not so innocent) people will die. That's what terrorists do and that particular genie was let out of the bottle a very long time ago.

I don't think there is evidence is justify that anything other than a small minority of Muslims support these killers or wouldn't report them. Either way such a belief means you stop viewing them as people with their own motivations, thoughts and nuances and start viewing them as a homogenous bloc. They're just a 'Muslim' and you think they're not innocent. Every Christian I know differs from each other in many ways. The only unifying aspect is their religion and even then there are dramatic differences. The same would be true of Muslims. There is an interesting article from the summer about the lack of religious knowledge displayed by ISIS fighters: http://www.newstatesman.com/religion...radicalisation |

If these murderers in France can be detained without risk then that's what should happen. Like the UK France is a nation of laws and to execute people is against those laws. All of us are equal under the law and that's a principal we should protect. However if there is any risk to anyone and the police need to stop them with force then so be it, I have no problems with that either. |

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
Hang on.Let's be careful about the language we use to describe those who committed this crime and that which we use in connection with those who are of the Muslim faith but are not terrorists of any sort.
As Stephen Fry has said in the past the nazis used certain words to dehumanise Jews and others they regarded as inferior so as to justify the final solution..Let' not start talking that way about people who will be just as horrified as we are about these particular attacks. As Damien says let us hold to OUR values despite what certain factions try to do to make us abandon those values. |

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
I don't really like our front pages tomorrow. Disappointing. Most of them all have a image of the police officer moments before he was shot. Not only is it tasteless but it's the wrong message to send. The best ones are either in Germany where they've reprinted the cartoons, France where they've cleared the front page to display a message of support, or 'The National' in Scotland which is displaying pictures of the people around Europe attending rallies.
The other British papers just went for the dramatic. ---------- Post added at 22:39 ---------- Previous post was at 22:36 ---------- The Independent led with a cartoon. Good for them. |

Re: Mass shooting in Paris
Already conspiracies are floating around the internet about the whole incident - the fact the terrorists were masked and not immediately identifiable plus the "convenience" of one of them leaving an ID card in the car has led some people to compare it to how the passport of one of the 9/11 bombers was found under thousands of tonnes of rubble, and that the 3 people being sought are 'patsies'.
Or it could just be the French police and secret services have done their job well and fast... |
Re: Mass shooting in Paris
Which goes to show that some people, maybe a lot, believe what they want to believe. Virtually every IS image I've ever seen has shown them masked - maybe the beheadings aren't happening, maybe they're all agents of the west, maybe it's all a plot to demonise Islam... :rolleyes:
You only have to read and/or listen to the views of some people to realise that their minds are already made up and nothing we can do, no amount of reasoning or education after events such as this will alter that fact. These people are impervious to reason and are the ones who could well be joining the ranks of the extremists. |
