    The lead is the lead singer from Queens Of The Stone Age

    No. Josh Homme is the lead singer of Queens. He is the sometime drummer with Eagles. Jesse Hughes is lead singer with Eagles. He escaped unharmed through a backstage exit apparently

    U2 are playing there over the weekend, Munster are playing there next weekend both will be called off I'd say. Not that important mind you but a few Irish will travel to that

    Seems like there was no soccer match on tonight involving Ireland this attack has taken away from the buzz of the result

    And what about Northern Nationalism and Unionism that spawned Pub Bombing in the UK in the 1970's and 1980's and similar type gun attacks in pubs?

    In fairness there are probably about 4 million nationalists all told, that's a pretty small pool to draw from. There are over a billion muslims in the world and a lot of them seem a lot more motivated to "the cause" than the Irish ever were.

    If the liberals were around in the 1930's and 1940's I'm sure they would try to mollycoddle the Nazis back then. What is needed is a total ban on Islam it is not a religion it is a movement of hate, mass immigration will destroy Europe. Liberals and the left are the real enemy of Europe, Russia and Putin are the only last true hope for our people, our race and our way of life. Islamic State just want to kill us all, so better we wipe them out before they do us.

    Crystal Palace defender, Martin Kelly posted on Instagram earlier that he was at the restaurant that was attacked by terrorists. No word from him yet.

    He posted this before it all happened?

    How exactly would closing a mosque prevent a terrorist attack?

    If the mosque (like many Saudi funded mosques) was a recruitment ground for fanatics or radicals then yes.
    Outline what exactly it is you'd do in order to prevent such attacks

    Exit the Middle East. Curtail immigration from there for a generation. Support, not overthrow, secular dictatorships.

    I can't believe some small minded individuals are labelling millions of people because of the actions of a small group of extremists. Shame on you, you're playing right into the arms of the murdering thugs that have carried out these atrocities tonight. This is what they want.

    Who are the band in the theatre, mental stuff, absolute tragedy.

    Eagles of Death Metal, a side project of Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, although he doesn't really tour with them.

    They played the Olympia during the week.

    Maybe you could answer the question.

    Should all Irish people have been banned from travelling to the UK during that period?

    yes, and anyone with a legit reason should have been let in, after proper checks were carried out, and visas issues.

    You know, proper border control.

    I'm not the biggest fan of metal music myself but they're hardly that bad.

    They're not metal. The name is ironic. They're similar to Queens Of The Stone Age. A bit of stoner, a bit of straightforward rock. Slightly camp. They have one or two good songs

    SERIOUSL:Y WTF are you talking about. if you want to talk about ira mafiaosi then start a frigging thread on ira mafiaosi.

    This is not a thread about Ira. This is a thread on islamic people who decided to start a shooting spree in the middle of paris.

    Link?
    David Cameron today challenged the Emir of Qatar to stop the flow of cash to ISIS - following bombshell allegations in Parliament that the country is 'siphoning off' funds meant for the World Cup to fund Islamic terror.
    The Prime Minister held talks with the Qatari leader Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Than amid increasing concerns over the wealthy Arab state's links to Islamic extremism and the deadly conditions migrant labourers are forced to live in.

    OP MOD NOTE UPDATE:

    This is obviously going to be an extremely emotive thread, we will bear that in mind while we attempt to balance modding with free discussion.

    Please separate Muslim from ISIS/Islamic Extremists/Terrorists. We cannot tolerate peaceful human beings being branded otherwise.

    Please try to be civil but also have a little more patience with your fellow posters as this is a worrying time for all of us.

    Sounds nice, but it's not true. Any Englishman in London will tell you EXACTLY where the Muslim majority areas are and they are VAST.

    There are none. There are two regions of London with a non-White majority, Tottenham and (IIRC) Brixton. And the majority population in those two regions is Afro-Caribbean. There are regions with large numbers of Muslims but they are not the majority in any.

    Europe for Europeans
    There needs to be a greater screening process, a very rigorous one.
    The people who done this have lived in France for sometime, should never have been allowed in considering what they have done tonight.

    Eagles Of Death Metal, though they've been reported safe.

    Not sure, but I believe their crew is unaccounted for right now. They were probably in a better position than anyone else, because most theatres would have a separate back or side entrance for acts.
