Absolutely despicable what they did.

I was just pointing out that the man may not haven know the word stop, the last thing I would do about him is make it into a joke.

These reports are virtually always grains of truth rolled up in extrapolation or sometimes pure lies depending on who reported it. And contrary to popular belief, eyewitnesses are often the least reliable sources of information in the immediate aftermath.

It is created by Global injustices where we drop bombs on foreign countries, marginalise sections of society based on race or religion and commit state sanctioned murder where innocent civilians are bombed on Live Tv and military incursions are given snappy names like Shock and Awe and some how we act surprised when people get upset about it and become radicalised in our own societies. Most of these terrorist attacks are carried out by national radicalised persons rather than foreign terrorists. But that's not what you really mean though. A Terrorist Apologist by its constructoin would point to someone who condones or indeed supports terrorism. Whilst you might only support one side I support neither. I don't condone terrorism. Be it state sanctioned or Islamic nutjobs. Both are equally wrong. Both are equally stupid. And writing these attacks off as some sort of dumb morons who "hate freedom" is the worst type of flat out dumbing down I have ever seen. But then again, most people are pretty stupid when they are afraid and the media is spoon feeding people a constant diet of lies and fear.Where's all the coverage about the radical muslum attack in Quebec last Monday who also shouted Allah Akbar with his buddy with an AK-47 and the same nonsense is being spoon fed five days later. Forgive me if I am a non believer for now.

Vers 10h00, dans un escalier qui descend dans la galerie marchande du Carrousel du Louvre qui donne accès au musée mais situé en amont des contrôles de sécurité, un homme "armé d'une machette au moins, peut-être d'une deuxième arme" s'est avancé vers quatre militaires de la force Sentinelle en proférant des "menaces" et en criant "Allah Akbar", a déclaré le préfet de police de Paris Michel Cadot. "Le militaire le plus proche, semble-t-il, a tiré pour se défendre face à l'agression", tirant cinq balles, "blessant sérieusement l'assaillant", notamment au ventre, selon le préfet de police. A la mi-journée, il était au bloc opératoire, son pronostic vital engagé, selon une source proche de l'enquête. Un militaire, légèrement blessé au cuir chevelu, a, lui, été pris en charge à l'hôpital militaire Percy à Clamart. L'identité et les motivations de l'auteur restent à déterminer. Aucun explosif n'a été retrouvé dans les sacs à dos que portait l'assaillant. Le parquet antiterroriste a ouvert une enquête de flagrance pour "tentatives d'assassinats aggravées en relation avec une entreprise terroriste et association de malfaiteurs terroriste criminelle".

Then the last 10 years happened. See some apologist on boards won't change my opinion any more than some lad down the pub who said yadda yadda. What changes opinions are political and economic events on a global scale. Ever ask yourself why it's only those who disagree with you who are 'incapable of changing their opinion' as you judge it? Don't confuse a difference of opinion with someone incapable of forming the correct opinion in your eyes.

Do you think these people will evolve into rational beings at any time in the future or will they forever be stuck in the sixteenth century.They won't drag us all back there no matter how many of them move to the West and then become terrorists because they are stuck in ghettoes of their own making. There are plenty of Middle Eastern countries they can apply to move too though no more than the States they have to go through immigration and Security and that will be decided by the Middle Easten countries themselves, same as president Trump is deciding at the moment what immigration he is allowing.

Political and Economic Events have changed your opinions. That's quite interesting. What's your view. How was it shaped by political and economic events.
