    BBC News - "assuming these are terrorist attacks."

    Bloody hell, put two and two together.

    Lesson 1: Stop fearing being called racist by lefties and stand up for the future of Europe. Being called racist by a naive leftie really doesn't amount to a hill of beans but the future of Europe matters so so much.

    Spent a beautiful couple of weeks in that wonderful city with my girlfriend now wife in the late 90's

    I now look at my teenage daughter watching this with me and I know she may never experience a major European city like I did

    That's what kills me

    Bit of an exaggeration.. things will return to normal. I visited Paris with my friends for the first time just after the Charlie Hebdo attack, still magical. She'll get to experience it like you did

    100 killed at the nightclub. Police stormed the concert hall but obviously the terrorists attacked first. This is getting worse by the minute, I don't even want to think about what I'm going to wake up to.

    The terrorists are overjoyed following the Friday the 13th massacre that is being reported on all the news outlets. Time for concerted and a deadly clear out of all these known terrorist wannabes. These people that want to join a Islamist group should have their citizenship revoked if they are French. Harsh life sentences for membership of these organisations. Work with the secular Muslims and not the extremists, society has no place for these people, no society does.

    It's fcuking awful that innocent people going about their daily lives are being slaughtered or maimed in the name of religion. Albeit extremists beliefs making this happen, but it does make me very concerned about my children's and Europe's future.

    To say that all Muslims praise these attacks in their hearts is pretty xenophobic, dear. In fact, it is the very definition of xenophobia. And where you live has little effect on that, clearly.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't xenophobia the fear of other nationalities?
    Firstly Muslim/Islam isn't a nationality, secondly to say that all muslims praise these attacks isn't an admission of fear of them but rather a sweeping generalization of the followers of a religion.

    Lots of people have died unnecessarily tonight, and for what? The politicians will pay lip service, saying something like "we must stand together in this moment" like they always do. But they created this mess and the blood is on their hands

    This isn't down to multiculturalism- it's poor economic and social policy making that caused ghettoisation

    Ah c'mon efb, that goes on all over the world(Jesus, that's practically the exact description of why Ballymun was regenerated!).
    It DID NOT cause people from there or from anywhere else where poor economic and social policy exists, to become mass murders and suicide bombers.
    To say that in tonights events and previous ones in Paris and elsewhere were not to some degree caused by an issue, whether it be religious or not, with its roots in problems related to multiculturalism, is foolish.
    Bordering on blind.

    Puts thing into prospective. People enjoying their Friday night after a long week at work and these animals end it all, all in the name of a fictional character. Was sweating watching the Ireland game earlier. Couldn't give a fcuk now.

    Good luck, France.

    Given the amount of people who streamed out after, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

    A living nightmare for those poor concert goers.
