Trump is live on Fox news right now, scoring political points of this tragedy already.

What, like the whole "BOMB SYRIA FOR AYLAN!!!" thing?
Both sides are as shamelessly disgusting as each other there, in fairness.

It's really hard to believe this could be anything other than Islamic State.

No it's worse than that. What this chap did was try and make this whole attack about why his opinions were right on an anonymous comments section on the internet.

Upon hearing this news, the most important thing to this bloke was getting an "I told you so" in on a forum on the Internet. "Let's try and score some points here for my political leanings. Let's strike while the iron is hot and the bodies aren't even cold."

Let's just let that sink in for s second.

That everyone who doesn't automatically hate all Muslims is an apologist according to this guy. And he thinks now is the most appropriate time to re-share his views with us. Thanks buddy. Quality post. Good job. You can sleep now. Your job is done. You've told everyone "I told you so". Good job.

Some people man!! Can't believe how people think it's alright to use these terrible tragedies towards their own agendas. Sickening

Truck didn't explode. That is a good thing.
It was rigged it seems.

That statement means less than nothing.

They fight to prevent conquest of their lands & homes.... coincidently slap-bang in the middle of islamic nations.

Islamism's war against the West (and yes, it is a war) will continue while people remain desperate to pretend to themselves that there is no such thing.

This pretense is succor for ISIS, it is their shield.

Trump had a scheduled interview on Fox, he didn't go on Fox specifically to talk about the latest terrorist attack, but of course he had to answer questions on it.
He did blame foreign policy for helping create these situations.

Yes that was silly today with Froome running to the finish line after hitting a camera. Saw it on the news early. They should clear the area of photographers and meddling spectators and let those cyclists ride on.

It is such a pity that wasn't the biggest news event out of France in the past 12 hours.

I drove the Bourg St Andeol Vallon Pont d'Arc road this morning it's packed with campervans most of the way, not only is it dangerous for the tour people, it's also a liability as regards security for attacks too. Lots of kids and families watching the tour everyday, some very dense, narrow areas.

Islam has proven countless times that it is too primitive and violent for Europe. Europe as a continent really needs to slam the door in its face and start shifting those who are already here back to where they came from.

News of these sort of attacks is coming so often that it's hard not to become desensitized to it all. It has become a case of wondering how many did they get this time?

Devastating and needless loss of life.

Isis want to turn this west v Isis fight into a west v all of Islam fight. The nut jobs like trump wanting internment and banning Muslims from countries are doing exactly what Isis want them to do.

Must be 100's dead.
Too many people , way too many got hit.

Yeah you might be right, just saw some footage of the start of his "run". I think he was stopped by police of course at the start, there was some confrontation but he pushed on anyway.

It would be a stupid move tactically. I'm aware there are Muslim extremists from/in Ireland, but they're better "used" by ISIS in countries of far more important political significance. Like France, Germany, Belgium, UK, etc.

The Muslim extremist community in Ireland is growing, but it's still too small to gain proper momentum like in e.g. the UK. In fact, in such a small country as Ireland, an attack could dissuade possible new extremists from getting involved. ISIS aren't going to waste people and resources on bombing this little island ... they'll certainly try their best to get new recruits from here, but we are WELL off the radar as a target anytime in the foreseeable future, in my opinion.

I do watch, and in the back of mind I think exactly what you posted, easy targets for terrorists, what is worse is on the mountains is a lot of these people are drinking for a long time before the cyclists arrive, maybe not the most coherent crowd which would make it easier for a terrorist.

I didn't say French citizens. I said French nationals. Congrats on failing to notice the distinction.

And I'm saying that it already is.
It's just that this new reality is yet to actually click with people.

ISIS are a sideshow.
Mosul & Raqqa will fall within 12 months..... ISIS will be eventually expunged from Syria & Iraq, their demise is already irreversible.

But the war is still in it's infancy.

But, of course... let the cognitive dissonance kick in & pretend that I'm wrong.

We'll be back here in 6-8 weeks.... yet again, pretending that there is no war against the West.

Journalists do it literally all the time. Look at any photographer or videographer who goes to warzones. Read a few newspapers, watch the news on tv.

Cop on. Your far too naive.Any sign of a Muslim extremist in a community is dangerous, even if it's one person.

This is a fight to the finish.

I will not listen to any more excuse making.

Islamic extremism everywhere world wide needs to be wiped out.

Islamic State should be wiped out firstof all and any party or group or mosque cleric or individual anywhere else in the world that espouses Islamic extremist ideology needs to go.

The West needs to put away Pokemon Go and fight for its survival.

She missed the truck from going to the toilet, she's in shock probably. How dare people mock someone who barely missed a terrorist attack from their armchairs.

These threads really bare people for what they are inside, some have more in common with the animals who commit these atrocities then they might like to think.

You make it sound like islam peacefully assimilated into europe in the past. The initial invasion of muslim forces through southern europe was stopped by the forces of Charles Martel at the battle of Tours in the 8th century. Most of the Balkans was occupied by Ottoman forces for centuries during the dark ages until the advance of islamic forces was halted at the battle of Vienna in 1683 by the combined forces of the Hapsburgs and the Polish hussars led by Jan Sobieski.

Umm... Yes it is. From Oklahoma to Karachi. It's not as if the Irish haven't put a ton and a half of home made explosives into a truck and set it off a few times.

Why would you think that it's such a difficult concept?

Between the US and Greece and North of Morocco how many times has that happened in the last 20 years?
