    Uh-oh, this might be an issue for everyone thoroughly enjoying blaming the refugees.

    People arriving in Europe on fake passports is even more concerning surely. But you keep plugging away with your agenda and ignoring what's really going on.

    These things will take time to clear up. At the moment it seems that two Syrian passports, rumored to be fake, were found at the scene of the suicide bombings. At least one of these has been said to belong to someone registered on a Greek island as a refugee/ asylum seeker.

    The passport is a curious element but not the "smoking gun" either pro immigration or anti think it is.

    If a fake passport was used by someone registered as a refugee they were still registered. If it belongs to a victim of the murderers then it shows problems with the proper management of the immigration process. If it was a plant then that will have to be linked to the other arrests and forensic data.

    In short we need to wait and see: as it stands this morning it doesn't give either side of the immigration argument a trump card and I doubt it will.

    Yeah.... No.
    There is not so much blaming the refugees but the way it is being dealt with. Free for all because they all were highly educated, skill full Syrians that were coming over.

    In fact it isnt the first one on a fake passport getting, or trying to get in, with the "refugees"

    No matter what or what may, let us not forget the terrible things that just happen which are facts.....innoncent people were killed by extreme terrorists under the banner of Islam............before we assume anything, let us all think silently about this before typing something erratic.

    Here and elsewhere I'm seeing loads of "Muslims are not terrorists" talk, which is right, because it's true. It is putting the cart before the horse, though. What are Muslims themselves going to do about this? I see millions of decent, hospitable, hard-working people who are tied, by their religion, to a death cult over which they have no control. Make no mistake - the events of Friday the 13th are Islam in its original, purest form. Salafii-Jihadists such as Daesh are the ones trying to take Islam back to where it started: a single caliphate where no other religions are tolerated in any form. They are not heretics, or deluded, or criminals: they are the Real Islam, the way it was originally intended.

    So, what is the average Muslim to do, when you look at the news and don't recognise what is being done in the name of your religion? Why get all defensive about it? Don't be a victim. This is your chance to say "this is not my religion", and leave Islam behind. If you can't leave, because of threats to your family or your livelihood, or for "cultural reasons", I'd call this a good time to ask: "just what good is Islam doing me, anyway?" You're better than that. :o

    Agree.

    The problem with Islam is that you are either with us or you are our enemy. This is what European dhimmis don't get.

    99.99999999999% of Muslims dont' choose to be one. Their parent and society chooses it for them. They might be highly intelligent, thoughtful, insightful human beings. But they are fooked.

    They cannot leave. They will be murdered.

    The cannot criticise it. They will be murdered.

    The cannot convert to another religion. They will be murdered.

    They cannot update it. They will be murdered.

    Even when they remain a Muslim, other Muslims will say they are not being a strict enough Muslim. They will be murdered.

    Even if the become the strictest, most observant Muslim, not just 100% or 200% you forget that they will be part of one of the various strains, just like Christians may be Catholic or Protestant. The strains are at war with each other. They will be murdered.

    What is the average Muslim to do ?

    In Islamic shyte holes like Pakistan and Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, they are fooked.

    In free Europe ?

    They could renounce Islam in the morning. They live in a free country where they can be any religious or sexuality or political persuasion within the law.

    What do they do ?

    They don't go secular. They embrace the hardcore, totalitarian Islam that their parents were fleeing to the free West.

    25% of young " British " ( that's born ) Muslims believe that anyone who leaves Islam should be murdered.

    Jon Snow, Channel 4 news anchor is tweeting that it's coming from 'Paris police sources'

    https://twitter.com/jonsnowC4?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

    (Queue lots of 'You know nothing Jon Snow' hilarity)

    This raises a number of possible further questions which I am going to ask even if I will be greeted with roars of take it to CT and 'puttonyatinhat'..

    Did bomber enter Greece on a false passport?
    If the fingerprints the Greeks have match those of the corpse then this is likely (haven't seen any reliable sources that say they do but have heard it said this is the case so waiting for confirmation).
    If so why was that not picked up by the Greek authorities?
    Greeks are overwhelmed granted but this does raise the bizarre notion that those with ID such as passports should be viewed with extra care as they could be ISIS members travelling on false passports who are trying to avoid 'hassle'...

    Was a genuine refugee's passport copied in Turkey?
    If so - where is that person now?
    Dead? Alive? In Turkey? Greece?
    I assume steps are being taken to find them...

    If these passports are fake then that blows the whole 'they want to be identified' posse out of the water - if they are fake it means they wanted to be identified as Syrian refugees.
    Why would they want to do that I wonder?

    Who copied the passports?
    How did they get them?
    One possible (and I stress possible) is that ISIS is involved in trafficking people across the Med - not that far fetched give we know they are heavily involved in the sale of art and antiquities while making a big deal about destroying the 'blasphemous idols'

    Also reports that there were 3 AK47's in the car found abandoned in Montreuil, meaning 3 of the attackers could still be at large.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,490 ✭✭✭stefanovich


    Yep. And also it would be impossible to say if the person who used it to pass through Greece was/wasn't the same person involved in the attacks.
    You can be sure the passport wasn't there by accident anyway. They want you to be scared. They want us to wonder what we have done letting so many undocumented "Syrians" into Europe.

    I can guarantee they are laughing at our naivety and the idiots welcoming the refugees into Europe.

    Alternately they could be trying to scare us into stopping refugees...

    Latest update there suggesting the possibility that some of the attackers may still be at large. Very worrying if true.

    Yeah definitely, even looking at all the noise they made about sending 'thousands' of jihadi's in with the refugees tells you they want the narrative out there at the very least.

    why would they leave the guns behind?
    More likely their owners were killed!

    What? :confused:

    Where did I say anything about evil or stupid?

    They use terror as a weapon.
    Creating a situation where innocent people are stuck between the closed fences of Europe and ISIS is to create a terrifying scenario (no point running you have no where to go - resistance is futile) as well as feeding their Us Vs Them propaganda by allowing them to say - 'Look, the so called liberal European Christians won't help you. They do not value your lives because you are Muslim. Join us and we will show the decadent west the value of Islam'.

    Classic war propaganda 101.

    If you were trying to escape & blend in with a crowd, carrying a large gun might make you stick out just a tad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,058 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't obvious that some of the attackers escaped. There were I think six separate attacks but as far as I know the attacks on the restaurants were gun attacks and not suicide attacks. Unless those responsible for those shootings were the same people who attacked the Bataclan then surely those attackers have to be at large still?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭Arne_Saknussem

    Well if they were abandoning the car and looking to get away the assault rifles might give them away??

    Yeah that's the speculation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 399 ✭✭acb121


    ... I actually believe at its foundation it's a peaceful religion that like many religions has been interpreted by evil people for their own benefit and used to minipulate young impressionable men ...

    This is the problem.

    " At it's foundation " BY ITS OWN FOUNDER, Mohommed, it was a war mongering cult, raping, pillaging, murdering, persecuting, paedophiling it's way across the Middle East.

    Most wishy washy Europeans use their childhood Christianity that they have left behind, save for Christmas and Weddings, as their reference point to Islam.

    They think that Islam is simply like Christianity and Mohommed is simply like Jesus. All religions are the same, they soothe on messageboards.

    Mohammed himself, personally led his followers in beheading 900 jews in a single afternoon. Perhaps he even used one of his 8 swords, including his personal favourite, " The Cleaver Of Necks ".

    Mohammed himself, personally instructed his followers to rape women who were " unbelievers " and if they felt like it, kidnap them and hold them captive for the single purpose of rape when they felt like using a women for their own self gratification. Mohammed himself personally owned 4 women for that purpose, in addition to his 11 wives, which included one he married at 6 and penetrated when she reached the age of 9 and he was 53.

    Mohammed himself demanded and instructed that anyone who criticised him should be murdered, and he ordered the murder of about 50 of his critics during his lifetime, including poets and artists.

    Mohommed himself ordered attacks and robberies on travelling merchants to steal their wares.

    The problem with folk is they are deluded into thinking that Mohommed was some sort of baby Jesus character that they learnt about in primary school.

    You cannot even state the above, because folk get offended.

    They don't want to hear the facts.

    They just want to parrot this politically correct line that all religions are the same, and some bad people must be twisting Islam.

    You will get banned and silenced by people just for stating the above. Lad I know, got very angry when I told him that technically, 53 year old Mohammed penetrating a 9 year old was a child ( and why according to Islam's own texts she was a child rather than an adult ) and told me " you can't say that ". Knows nothing whatsoever about Islam, and does not want to know, because it might upset his politically correct worldview.

    People trot out platitudes about religion and they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

    electric chair for merkel

    Well, this might not be the end of her in Germany yet, but this incident has sparked a new debate in Germany over her open door policy (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/14/us-france-shooting-germany-idUSKCN0T30UX20151114).

    As the dust settles on all this, Merkel's "leading" role in Europe is now up for grabs. The good sense of the electorate in various member states is likely to prevent national politicians from continuing this policy.

    It doesn't matter whether or not terrorists used the refugee route, the point is they easily could.

    150 dead, hundreds injured and the politically correct BBC still cannot bring itself to use the word " terrorist ", never mind Islam.

    Militants is the soothing non judgemental word they use, less they offend anyone.

    Also reports that there were 3 AK47's in the car found abandoned in Montreuil, meaning 3 of the attackers could still be at large.

    Attackers definitely still at large. 8 killed, 4 at the concert and 1 outside. 3 denoted their bombs outside Stade de France. Therefore the restaurant attackers got away or are the same guys who attacked the concert which if the case calls into question the response from French forces.

    In the days to come, I can see France intelligence coming in for a lot of criticism as well as its response. Why did it take almost 3 hours to neutralise the concert? Apparently attackers went in at 10, it wasn't until 1 the situation ended.

    Also an operation this large will have taken a fair degree of planning, training both military and psychological, communication among the attackers and their leaders abroad, acquisition of firearms. There is surely a trail of evidence left behind. Intelligence should have had some knowledge of at least some of these guys.

    The terrorists are probably getting better at this kind of thing so intelligence needs to get better with it. It's the first form of defense against this kind of thing.

    They are not stupid enough to think we would actually close the borders to refugees. As much as it pains me to acknowledge this fact. Europe is full of sheep welcoming the wolves in.

    Kind of surprised they accounted for all the attackers so quickly and they didn't suspect some could have gotten away.

    That being said Montreuil is same sort of area in Paris so maybe it's just car they arrived in. They'd only fit five or so people in car anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    I see Joan Burton has weighed in with not at all clichéd words of wisdom.
    Ms Burton added: “I understand at this point that some people who are claiming this are associating this with Islam. That is entirely inappropriate. Islam is a religion of peace.

    http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/mick-wallace-criticised-over-tweet-about-paris-attacks-1.2430575

    Fair enough not wanting to tar all with the same brush but the "religion of peace" line has become a joke at this point, used more sarcastically than in earnest.

    That makes no sense.

    Getting the west riled up about refugees is obviously the aim of the passport (real or fake) being there.

    They don't want Europe to be a safe haven for people they're terrorising. They want the borders closed and are loving the spreading of xenophobia. They want a war.
