    Ireland doesn't have Marines, genius. More importantly, we are militarily non-aligned.

    "Real Muslims" FFS!

    While I've no doubt that the vast, vast majority of ordinary Muslims would not support these attacks, the question of what "true" or "real" Islam is or is not is ultimately a theological one, just as it is with Catholicism or Hinduism. The leader of ISIS, has I believe a doctorate in Islamic Theology from Baghdad University. What are Piers Morgan's credentials?
    the fact that he can see 1 billion Muslims aren't going around trying to destroy The West every day?

    Why aren't sky news reporting this? There's already been pics of the fire.

    They are reporting though that there's still terrorists on the run with unconfirmed reports of shots close to the Louvre.

    Because it is a hoax

    Would the public tolerate mass deportations of suspects with any vague terrorist links.

    The vast majorities of the European public, at the moment, probably would.

    Pretty much every Left Wing Party, Left Wing Media Outlet and Human Rights Quango would go apesh!t if that happened.

    If I could I would disband all religions. All through history they have been so misinterpreted and twisted to cause people to turn on their fellow human being for the sake of some belief in an imaginary friend....totally sickening

    People calling for an end to "PC nonsense" etc etc.

    It's exactly what the people responsible for this barbarism want Europe and France to be drawn into.
    There are times when war is a necessary evil. When Europe was under attack by fascists in the late 1930s and these modern day fascists who murdered these people in Paris

    So will we see million Muslim marches across Europe chanting "Not in our Names." in the next few weeks or months?

    Moderate Muslims need to stand up and visibly reject this attack Not just release a mealy-mouthed statement through an Imam or Muslim Council.
    Why should individuals (who happen to be Muslim but had nothing to do with this whatsoever) have to be seen to 'visibly reject this attack'?

    I remember similar sentiment being expressed in the 80s about Irish people and the actions of the IRA [I was living in London at the time] and wondering why I was being made somehow responsible for the actions of terrorists who claimed to be acting in my name.

    Mohammed ( peace be upon him ) created a society in the 620s based on racism anger and hate towards everyone else.

    Extremist monsters ?

    Educate yourself about Mohommed[/Q]

    At least learn to spell his name.

    I really don't care about his name.

    What I care about is that in the 620's he had a harem of 11 wives including a 6 year old who he had sex with when she reached the age of 9.

    In addition to this he had 4 women he kidnapped and kept as sex slave, which is basically rape.

    He led his men in murdereding 900 jews in an afternoon, by beheading them, one after the other.

    He had nearly 50 of his critics assasinated during his lifetime.

    1300 year later his followers are carrying on exactly as he did, because he was supposedly the perfect man and the perfect example

    And you are worried I spelt his name wrong ?

    the IRA had goals that were at least possible and being British they operated using British values . Having the goal of overthrowing your society to indtroduce a theocracy, not so much

    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

    Are you serious? While I see a difference alright I wouldn't be comparing the IRA to the brits or US army.

    Murderers are murderers no matter what packaging they use?

    The IRA gave up their weapons and always had a strict policy of targeting military officers not civilians. It is extremely unlikely ISIS would do anything of the sort.

    According to CNN, at least 390 French citizens are known to be currently fighting on the front line for ISIS, another 185 went and returned to France. Presumably there are more the authorities don't know about it. And obviously everyone who sympathises can't travel, so plenty more would be sympathetic.

    So these are not isolated extremists as we keep getting told.

    I would really like to believe that the politicians will announce tomorrow that the borders are being closed indefinitely and all muslim migrants that came in the last few weeks are being deported.
