    Its very early yet but I be surprised if the death toll stays that low , unfortuanlly.

    Alright, don't post here again. Others want to discuss it, you don't that's fine. Cheers

    And once again we will explain it.
    It is all about how close we are to the event. Take all the people you know, how many have gone to Turkey? How many of them have gone to Iraq?
    Answer those two questions.
    Or to put it another way, when you stub your toe at that moment all the pain and suffering in the world means nothing to you.

    I wish they'd stop killing us with their peaceful religion. Aah stop, too peaceful, you're hurting me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭Vital Transformation


    Erdogan has ordered a media blackout on this for the moment, banning any coverage on the scene or suspects except official statements.

    It's our fault, we've been oppressing them.

    Doing this in Turkey ,they mainly targetting their own people ( Muslims ) but this attack was aimed at the Infidels celebrating New Years Eve




  • May god be with all the dead and wounded family, what a terrible to start 2017 Such a terrible time we live in

    Awful news :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭Noveight


    Poor folks never came home from a NYE party. Heartbreaking news for their loved ones on what should be a time of celebration.

    The recent trend is worrying.

    Shooting people at marathons (Boston in 2013) , rock concerts (Paris attacks) threatening writers they disagree with (Houllebecq is still in hiding).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    Seen videos floating around of inside the club and people dying, not for the faint of heart.

    These terror attacks need to be stamped out, Governments need to stop turning a blind eye as to what's happening to Europe. RIP to the victims.

    I find it bizarre that someone invokes one god to alleviate the pain suffered by those attacked in the name of another god.

    Religion. The root of all evil.

    God is whoever and whatever you want him/her to be. All i know is people who kill in his/her name are misguided. What i meant by my original quote is this a horrible thing to have happened and i feel nothing but worry about the world we live in and the radicals that live in it.

    Can't wait until Turkey join the European union.
    Come on Mammy Merkal.......... surely you can speed this up.

    Just seen the video of an attacker killing on the street before entering nighclub and he was dressed in black ,not a Santa Clause outfit but there is footage from inside of a man in a Santa outfit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,741 ✭✭✭54and56


    God is whoever and whatever you want him/her to be.

    Maybe for you but not unfortunately for billions of followers of the main religions around the world who take their guidance from religious books such as the bible and the koran or religious leaders such as the pope.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,895 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Muslims killing Muslims in the name of Islam .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,547 ✭✭✭✭Poor Uncle Tom


    Muslims killing Muslims in the name of Islam .

    Will you stop, please, they're flesh and blood like us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,761 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Some people want to enjoy themselves and cause no harm. Some people are just plain evil.

    It is just a very sad way for 2017 to start, but this is all too common and it is hard to see what can be done to stop this needless carnage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,068 ✭✭✭ebbsy


    Looking at the list of incidents in Turkey in 2016....

    I will pass on going there anytime soon.

    No mention at all of it on RTÉ, I suppose they classify some lives as more newsworthy than others. RIP to all involved.

    Personally I think religion is not the root of all evil. People are evil.

    People are nice
    It's groups of people that become easily led

    Fixed that for you.

    BBC "After the shooting, the killer shouted the murder was in revenge for Russian involvement in the conflict in the Syrian city of Aleppo."

    No surprises there then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,761 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Pity the shooter just didn't shoot himself in protest first.

    Russia was probably bombing idiots like the shooter.

    RTE is just sh!t at updating its site, would be the last place I'd ever check for breaking news.

    Those pesky Asians at it again.
    Or are we now allowed to say the followers of Muhammad did this.
    As per intrustions from their most perfect man?
    Peace be upon you.

    It's like a ****ing cancer as it spreads out. I would think Europe is in for a lot of carnage in 2017. Hope I'm wrong of course!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 806 ✭✭✭getzls


    Just remember as we now doubt will be told.
    This has nothing to do with Islam


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,506 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    Agence France-Presse is reporting comments from the interior minister, saying that the death toll has risen to 39, including 16 foreigners.
