    It's been shown that CNN is being completely unreliable with the reporting of this.

    As an Irish guy in England I wonder how long before such things happen here, clearly there is a widespread global problem with Muslims and extremists. They are not normal beings.

    But when September 11th happened RTE had coverage on it all day all I'm saying is why aren't we as a nation who have a national TV broadcasting service in our country can't have a dedicated news channel like all other countries in Europe to cover news like this what about people who don't have sky or other satellite coverage known nothing that's happening in France and who could have relatives involved my opinion it's disgraceful

    Rte news now. Ìts on your tv

    Hollande looked shocked on the TV. This will happen again and again if Europe persists on letting undocumented Muslims into Europe. ISIS warned this would happen and they would hide terrorists in amongst immigrants and all Europe did was welcome more and more. I worry how many more have gotten in.

    we might have our own crop in a decade or 2 .

    http://www.thejournal.ie/umar-al-qadri-teaching-2430709-Nov2015/

    A PROMINIENT IRISH Muslim cleric has claimed that Muslim children are being taught “hatred of other communities” at unregulated weekend classes in Ireland.
    Shaykh Dr Muhammad Umar Al-Qadri, founder of the Irish Muslim Peace and Integration Council (IMPIC), has said that the Irish government needs to help the Muslim community set a standard syllabus for these Islamic classes.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    you try to claim that Islam is a religion of peace and co-existence and I show you it manifestly never has been and you decide to go in for a bit of whataboutery. Nice.

    You posted a reference to a time in human history when warfare was rife and I pointed out this is hardly a reflection of unusual violent tendencies in Muslims considering Christians were just as bad. Then again throwing out the term 'whataboutery' is common when hypocrisy is pointed out.

    The bizarre thing is that it actually is not. It is actually a hugely anarchic religion where no human agency has authority. There is no Muslim equivalent of a Pope or even a Church. So Islam can be hugely individualistic in line with Western values on individualism.

    However, seeing as there is no organised Muslim religion, there is equally no organised opposition to cranks who preach hate and intolerant puritanism. Saudi oil wealth has funded these cranks for the past 50 - 60 years, and western governments have unwisely tried to "engage" with cranks with the misguided aim of multiculturalism (Londonstan, etc)

    The likes of ISIS and their "fellow travellers" are an evil of the likes of the Dirlewanger SS Brigade. This was an SS brigade so evil that Guderian recorded their commander breaking down as he admitted the conduct of the unit in their fighting in places likes Warsaw. An SS brigade, that traumatised their commander.

    Europe has faced this sort of evil before. The problem was not solved by engaging with it and trying to understand their point of view - it was solved by killing them, and if any survived by following the survivors and killing them. The Dirlewanger brigade was wiped out, and their members lie in unmarked graves. At the same time, after the high feelings of the time were resolved, it was understood that Germans were not equivalent with Nazism. The same approach, and the same understanding, needs to be applied to the problem Europe faces today. Muslims are not the enemy. Jihadist groups are. Find them. Fix them. Kill them.

    I was just watching the News and thought this was a toatal attack on Western democracy and values..which in certain respects is a declaration of War. The EU should shrug off its Neo-Liberal "lets all love one another" s*itetalk and deal with this in a persistent and consistent manner by adopting a TINA approach.

    We have the means to end this..if Soviet USSR attacked New York..what would have been the likely response?? I say introduce them to the Minuteman.

    Nah, sure boards mods reckon it could all just be a coincidence... perhaps perpetrated by radical nihilists. Who knows?!

    Mick Wallace should know better than to come out with that kinda crap now. Or well actually, not him... He wouldn't to be fair.

    I'm putting my money on radical environmentalists. We just don't know!

    I imagine he/she was talking in the macro not micro. It is terrifying, we have no idea if this is another brief explosion of violence or is the start of something sustained and in more than one nation.

    With the army deployed and the borders closed France is terrified. Rightly.

    Is it? You weren't bothered by the slaughter of millions of children and women in Iraq and all across the middle east as a result of the West's 'liberation' of these places?

    This is bad news. Any country sitting on the fence will jump in now and ones that are aiding logistically will step up operations. I predict an all out war. Sad day.

    There was a tweet from someone claiming to be on the first floor of the Bataclan venue "Badly wounded, launch an assault quickly...They're shooting us one by one". Posted on the live feed of Libération. The newspaper removed it after a few minutes however. Not sure if that reflects on its authenticity or not.

    Will be thinking twice about going to euro 2016 next year if we qualify. Not worth the risk given how many terrorists ISIS may have gotten into France.

    I think the civilised world needs to have a serious discussion around Islam and whether it can ever be welcome here. It's fine saying we can't tar brush an entire religion because of the actions of a few, but it's also the only religion which ever pops up during this type of event.

    Ultimately these type of things (albeit without the suicidal side of things) have happened in the UK in the past and unfortunately, probably will again.
