    I wonder were the bombs ahead of schedule? There could have 60,000 and 80,000 at that match tonight ... Surely to set off the bombs as people were pouring out would have been their more optimum time ... from the baddies point of view that is ... thankfully they didnt do it in that fashion

    @mattmoorek: FWIW Charlie Hebdo attacks carried out by French citizens. Border controls are designed to stop perps fleeing. https://t.co/mqaMGJIAQ9


    Good point as that female terrorist escaped the country and made it to Syria.

    The thread is not going to be closed, this is happening now and it would be irresponsible of us to lock it at this point.

    In future report the thread if you think it should be locked, posting on thread is backseat modding and derailing the thread.

    Move on please folks.

    It's depressing the amount of people on this thread who don't seem to get this. It plays right into these nutter's hands.

    Yes..because the police can read the minds of people who formulate these plans in secret and carry them out at the drop of a hat.

    Did the people carrying out the attack do so telepathically? French intelligence has been shown up a few times recently with perpetrators known to police, supposedly being tracked yet able to get their hands on automatic weapons without the police knowing.

    I work with Muslims that will not condenm such attacks as these. They REFUSE to condemn them. I know that in their hearts they applaud them.

    Have you reported them for supporting terrorism???

    Or do really work with people of the Islamic faith that support barbaric terrorism???

    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.

    What peaceful choices could they have taken exactly, to combat the biggest militaries in the world f*cking their countries for resources and bulldozing anybody who tried to object?
    Anger is an inevitable consequence of hopelessness and helplessness. Violence is not an inevitable consequence of anger but it's a common consequence.

    We can keep walking on eggshells around Islam, designating those who are "grand" or those who are "fanatics" but it won't make any difference. Islam as a religion, with its core tenets, is not compatible with a civilised society. Never has, never will be.

    To the people of France,

    I am sorry for calling you frogs. I am sorry for hating your language because I couldn't learn it in school. I am sorry for generalising and calling you all arrogant.

    I am thankful for the amazing time I had when visiting your beautiful city of Paris when I was younger.

    My thoughts are with you all now.

    Kind of hoping some Japanese guy living in France has had enough of it and deciding to get it solved by himself.

    It doesn't change the central tenets of the religion that advocate for domination and violence.

    These attacks are facilitated by the liberal policies of Europe. The scumbags responsible depend on the fact that they can operate and plan in the shadow of free movement and association with their peers. Foreign funding especially from Saudi Arabia for wahabi mosques should be banned immediately. Deny these ****ers the opportunity to poison the minds of gullible young people.

    Our hopes and dreams don't involve dieing a martyr and meetin Allah. In Islam that is the highest thing they can achieve.
