    Yeah that'll work. Let them create an islamic super state and see what happens.

    What would happen? Not much. The threat is internal to Europe.

    Of course US war mongers are to blame too – but Paris was hostile to most Anerican adventurism although it's got into the quagmire that is Syria

    It's all the same unified philosophy of western (specifically US) elites. Invade the world. Invite the world. That this philosophy is crazy is of course obvious to all but these elites.

    Wow. PC Liberalism knows no bounds. Plumbing the depts of stupidity.

    It is probably well known as to who carried out the acts but try rationalise anything on this fúcking forum and you get tarred with being a "PC Liberalist".

    I am by no means a sympathiser for any of these acts but I or anybody else shouldn't be shot down for attempting to rationalise even a little bit.

    People are dead yet people call for action to be taken to kill more people. It's a fúcked up world we live in. It really is.

    Allāhu Akbar yelled the gunmen at the Eagles of Death Metal concert according to eye-witnesses on French media

    Nah, all them eye witnesses are racist obviously. Started the year by saying this, ending the year with the same "maintenant, nous sommes tous francais"

    Borders don't stop bullets or bombs or those born and raised at home from carrying out attacks

    I'm not defending terrorism, I'm defending millions of innocent Muslims being unfairly blamed like us Irish were during the troubles

    They don't condemn these continuous attacks forcefully enough at all. Not comparable at all.

    Imagine if all those allied soldiers who fought in World War 2 could see how the Europe they fought for would turn out, slowly being destroyed from the inside out.

    All Germans were blamed for the Nazi's. All Russians are regularly tarred with the same brush because of their political leaders.

    Why do you ringfence This particular group? What makes them un-blamable?

    Most people don't do what you claim with regards Germans and Russians.

    Do you think it was right that Irish people faced hostility in the 70s in England because of the Provo's actions?

    The 'group' are un-blameable because the culprits are self-appointed spokesmen and not representative of the majority.

    50 or so people, some covered in blood, have gotten out of Bataclan just now.

    50 people have left the theatre, covered in blood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    This has definitely been a well planned out attack, not just a quickly put together idea. The worrying thing is we have no idea if there's more planned and this is just the start of it :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭Dick phelan


    I'll admit i am genuinely scared, the world is changing into a very dark place.

    These attacks just seem to be occurring in random locations.
