    I don't think we can take the risk any longer.

    The millions of Muslims living a normal life like every single one of us posting in this thread would say that yes it is..

    I remember this on the news a few weeks ago. The Muslim clerics were voicing concern, the Irish leftwing were telling us that everything was grand.

    Any relevance to a Cambodian restaurant being targeted? I can understand theatres and stadiums being attacked for big effect but a restaurant is a strange one. i just thought it seemed like it was a personal statement to attack the restaurant

    What do we do?

    Start the mass internment and deportation of millions of Muslims who have settled here generations?

    Good luck with that.

    That's it, there is no clear solution and at the same time I feel guilty for even posing the question because I'm aware that for many muslims in the Middle East, what's happening in France right now is happening in their countries on a weekly basis.

    Are you serious?

    Of course the biggest most important news story in the world right now is going to be discussed on the country's biggest discussion board.

    There'd be something seriously wrong with us if we were to brush it under the carpet, and allow no public discussion.

    I honestly don't even understand your thinking in that post. :confused:

    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.

    Ah here, there a billion or so people who practice Islam, they are people with the same hopes and dreams as anyone. Fanatics are the problem and what drives them. That's what needs to be addressed.

    Until some imam decides that the Irish have in some way offended islam and encourages his flock to go nuts.

    CNN says 6 separate gun attacks and one bomb attack. 18 killed in the first shooting, unknown numbers killed at the stadium by the suicide bomber(s).

    So the law of cause and effect is something which is unfamiliar for you? Or you're just choosing to ignore it?

    Becoming a terrorist is not an inevitable consequence of an event or series of events. The terrorists of Isis could have taken any number of peaceful choices to resolve what they faced but they decided that they preferred rape and murder, they exercised their free will to do so.
