    Führer is a normal noun derived from the verb führen. Which means to guide/lead.

    This is an English speaking site and we all know what the word means in an English language context. Don't hide behind semantics.

    Beyond your understanding maybe. Because you're thick and can't comprehend that a word in another language has different connotations than in your own.

    This is an English language forum so the words used here are used in an English language context.

    Kinda a stupid thing to say what you did though seeing as I'm fluent in Italian.

    There were no WMDs in Iraq. Fact. War crimes were commited by the Allied Forces. Fact. Even Blair admitted he made a mistake.

    Saddam was armed by the US. Fact. I'll direct you to wiki and you can continue from there :
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_war

    They turned on him when it didn't suit the US anymore.
    Remember the allegations about the babies being thrown out of the incubators? It was all fabricated - the girl who gave testimony was the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_(testimony)

    I could go on and on. I hope the people start joining the dots...

    using the word „fact“ that way does not make it so, one just sounds like a stupid tv ad…i fully remember all the american propaganda during the 2nd gulf war and my aim is not to defend the yanks on any of this…i just also remember how saddam did have and use chemical weapons during the 1st gulf war against iran and also against his own people in iraq later…
    large quantities of the stuff are unaccounted for to this day and some may well have made its way to syria back then, and it is entirely possible that isis found some of it…

    I never saw any Israeli or Jew for that matter killing the innocents in Europe like we have seen umpteen times with Islamic Jihadists.

    they are too busy killing innocent children in Palestine to be bothered with us European's

    I am pointing out what the word means. Perhaps you are the one jumping to conclusions based on your lack of knowledge.

    Such an over the top response on social media. Jaysus. It's a horrific tragedy but people care a lot less when it's a non-photogenic, non-Western location!

    Last time I remember such a social media outpouring was when Nelson Mandela died, and then a lot of people didn't know much about the man either.

    Because of the contribution to peace and the advancement of human civilization by Europeans they are entitled to a higher expectation of safety. When the birthplace of civic society and enlightenment values is targeted by the agents of oppression and destruction it's a greater outrage than when some country that doesn't even want democracy or human rights protections is targeted. This shouldn't be your primary concern at this point, but there's always one.

    That is a very decent rebuttal.

    Maybe you should respond to his claims of antisemitism rather than reporting to an ad hominem to hide the ugly truth.

    I wonder who funded the attacks? That was a fairly large operation which would have cost a lot of money.

    It's not the first and certainly won't be the last terrorist attack done by Islamic extremists. I wonder how many more straws will it take to break the camel's back.

    Doesn't at present look like there's any link with the Paris attacks. Just a tragic accident.

    So it isn't anti Semitic? I was thinking that, it's such a generic word it couldn't possibly be taken out of everyday talk like that.

    Look up the German for captain (of a sports team).
    By that logic, it would mean there are at least 2 anti-semites on a football pitch for every match in Germany.

    Yeah, I doubt ISIS would be decent enough to give such forewarning of their next attack. It's probably some 14 year old school boy currently giggling to himself over his edginess.

    Genuine question to anyone: given we're buying their oil, why would Qatar and SA want to sponsor terrorism in the west?

    It seems a pretty big coincidence if it isn't, and the French authorities have previous when it comes to downplaying Islamist attacks as being something other than what they clearly are.

    I'd safely say that train derailment is also a terrorist attack. Too coincidental not to be and they always go for a number of attacks on the same day.

    Europe is at war now sadly.

    Lets all give France the support it requires to deal with these animals.
