    Yeah, cos the IDF are well on top of their own situation aren't they?

    Suicide bombings have been reduced, albeit replaced by a different tactic of random stabbings

    The point was how to change the mindset of somebody who is prepared to blow themselves, and others, up

    Now being reported the Egyptian passport belonged to a victum. It'll be easier for some of the press to place the blame on those refugees coming in and fuel the fire of rumour. since 9/11 it seems we've been in a situation where people can't help but watch the 24 hour live news - craving an instant update

    It's a tragic despicable event and I'm sure as Paris is so close to London most of us have felt affected by it in some way

    How else do we stop giving them the freedom of travelling around Europe without closing borders? and even if we could stop them travelling through the Alps or skirting the coast in boats to avoid controls, confining them to the countries they land in is just nimbyism.

    Despite the horrific nature of these attacks, the annual death toll from terrorist-related activity is pretty miniscule in the great scheme of things. To change the way civilised society operates in the face of these idiots is absurd, timid and exactly what they want.

    They were muslims though, why pretend otherwise? It's dishonest to pretend that terrorism of this nature is nothing to do with Islam. Yes, it's a backwards, literalist interpretation of their scripture that is abhorred by the overwhelming majority of muslims but I don't think it helps to pretend that it is unrelated to their religion.

    Here's an article from a young muslim guy in Pakistan who explains my point far better than I could ever hope to:

    This isn't the time or place for you two to start waving your ****s about so do us all a favour.

    No one is doing that and my post was wholly reasonable. So do one you troll.

    Or are we to be treated to Diamond's line on how the victim's deserved it like we got with Boston?

    How so? I'm just asking you to clarify 'naive'. I don't think we are saying much the other disagrees with.

    What does this type of point scoring attempt post have to do with the terrorist attacks in Paris?

    Didn't you lot get your own forum section to solve all the worlds problems in?

    Could you not start a thread on this there if you wish to talk about the politics of it all?

    Shouldn't you be directing this at Diamond? If you look at my response to ZZ it's mild and conversational.

    He chose to make it an argument so I chose to remind him that he's not occupying the high ground.

    Lol, the passports that these terrorists carry must be special bomb-proof ones. Amazing.

    I was thinking that too, but then I was wondering, did all of the attackers get blown up? I.e the ones at the concert? I wasn't sure if they were shot by the police or blew themselves up

    Hardly.

    I doubted it but reports are saying 'suicide bomber' not terrorist which makes me think it was found on a dead guy.

    Hahaha respect ey, interesting for you to bring that up now after your comments in the past.

    This makes no sense whatsoever Squibba.

    It's preposterous to seek any other motivation for IS other than they give themselves - to provoke the 'Crusaders' into apocalyptical battle with them, or to have the West withdraw from the Caliphate so they can get on with ethnically cleansing the region.

    It's even more preposterous to see it as an Israeli action in any shape or form and that whiffs of the usual 'Jewish conspiracy' rubbish that I hope your above.

    So, I dunno, what is it you are trying to say?

    I just want to see what people make of what he said. Glad I got a reaction.

    A bit odd do you not think? 'Grave mistake'

    "And here we go, French flag being projected all over the world and Facebook makes a French flag DP filter. I wonder why FB never created a Palestinian flag filter where hundreds die each month? Or maybe a Syrian, Iraqi or Afghan flag? A Pakistani flag after 16th Dec APS attack? Its exactly this "Selective" Humanity and Imperialistic mindset which leads to hatred towards the west. I condemn Paris attack but i also condemn the hypocrisy of western imperial mindset."

    So if they have this hatred towards us why keep do they keep waiting for what they surely think is worthless recognition from 'the West'?

    No idea, I'm just posting interesting things that I'm seeing across my social feeds.

    Hatred towards the west is a rather dangerous comment I'd say.

    I think it's perfectly natural to have a special bond with countries that are either geographically or culturally close to your own country, which explains UK and US interest in these events.

    I don't agree or disagree with any of this by the way, just theories and observations mentioned by people around me which I share because I like to know what you guys think :)

    I was about to post about the amazing documents you can see in the 9/11 museum in New York (passenger's belongings, documents from the offices of the floors that were hit etc.) but then I realised you'll probably just claim 9/11 was a conspiracy as well

    Interesting way to look at it actually, logical.

    I'm not sure how force and all that works but if someone has a passport in his pocket and blows himself up via a bomb strapped to his back, I'm surprised any of his limbs survive let alone his passport.
