    Good for you but you'll find nowhere in my posts did I say it isn't a terrorist attack, just that we don't know for a fact that it is. It's being "treated as" one last time I checked.

    Well use that grey matter between your ears. It's not that hard to come to a conclusion with everything that's happened in Europe recently.

    What is it with people like you, refusing to accept what's really happening?

    RIP to all who died.

    Worst thing about these attacks is they require very little preperation or training yet cause maximum carnage with little hope of stopping them occuring.

    Personally think all muslims should be profiled at this stage. They add absolutely nothing to Europe. They leave their country's full of problems and bring their problems with them and cause nothing but headaches for Europe.

    What about people born and raised in Europe? Maybe we could keep them all in camps. We can put them to work to set them free. Seig Heil! :rolleyes:

    I really hope that if it is confirmed a terrorist attack, you turn some of that anger you direct at posters here, on those that allow Islamic Fundamentalist teachings to proliferate across Europe.

    Oh **** off, you don't even know my political leanings. You not only like speculating motives but now speculating about the political views of posters who only want to avoid speculating about things as serious as this?

    While we are at this bull****, though, are you angry about the attack in Zurich on innocent people at a Mosque?

    How ****ing dare you claim I'm an apologist for fundamentalism.

    Sure. Refugee camps. Not throw open the borders to millions of unvetted people from regions were religious extremism is rife.

    That's not smart policy.

    Again there we have the glee word. Basically if anyone says anything linking Islam to terrorist incidents they are lambasted by the bleeding hearts for being "gleeful" and delighted. How predictable.

    It's the people having an 'I told you so' moment that are being gleeing.

    Or maybe we should bury our heads in the sand and pretend Europe doesn't have a problem. 'Refugees welcome'...:rolleyes:

    Something similar used to be said about another religious group in the 1930s.

    And for some reason we do not seem to count the failed Attacks. There need to be deaths before it gets taken seriously. There have been arrests and failed plots every second week this year. Their army is big and hidden, and we do not know half of what is going on

    Even with deaths she will prevent the press from reporting the facts and truth. Head in the sand stuff...if we dont read it or speak about it sure its not really happening.

    1 suspect dead in the lorry. Another on the run and some reports saying cops have arrested a suspect close by. No confirmation that he is the right person however.

    Hard to think I was at the Xmas market in Dortmund this evening with my workmates for a quick drink.

    What's really happening? Oh **** off, next you want to tell me Sharia Law is taking over Ireland?

    You aren't coming to a conclusion, you are coming to a possible answer. Know the difference.

    Refusing to accept? I just said it was a suspected terrorist attack according to police so please **** off with your bull****.

    This driver is probably just mentally ill, bless him, like those previous cases in Germany and Sweden earlier in the year.
    Nothing at all to do with terrorism.

    Bless him.

    Feck off with your self in all fairness.

    Loads of people are mentally ill and they don't decide to plough people down in a truck.

    You sound delighted. The sheer glee certain posters get on here when they have an opportunity to go "I told you so!!!!" every so often when there is an incident is disgusting.

    No, you are disgusting. I'm calling you a coward that cares more about being 'right on' than actual people. You and people like you are the callous ones.

    That this mentality is being spouted, thanked and passed off as acceptable sort of sums up 2016.

    Oh **** off. I didn't even call anyone here "wacist" (because of course anyone who wants facts can't spell). There's a difference between immediately going "GUYS IT'S THOSE EVIL MUSLIMS" and "possible terrorist attack". We don't know the motives of the driver, their background, their nationality etc.

    So please just **** off back home.

    Log OFF.........

    That incident was a terrorist attack also. It occurred simultaneously with other bombings in Britain.

    I thought the Glasgow truck driver suffered some kind of fit or blackout.

    It gives me a chill down my spine.

    A fellow human being who is so cold and calculated to people he would never have met. People looking forward to Christmas and to spending time with their families.
    It is hard for us to comprehend how some people can be so heartless and blinded by irrational hate.
