ISIS Wrecked Paris Today...

[Fygee]

Current death toll is at 153 per CNN. Expect that number to rise. No organization has taken credit for it yet.

The majority of the casualties were in Bataclan at the heavy metal concert. Apparently they shot the wounded execution style. Fucking horrible and disgusting.

I really hope they don't turn the country into what we became after 9-11, but also kill the fuck out of the people responsible for this.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for Europe

The french elections aren't that far and shit like this will most likely put the Front National in control of the country. If that happens, France will get out of the European Union and say fuck you to third world immigration.

 

[mjmjr25]

Oh man - this is horrible. Hopefully the response is firm, but also very focused where it needs to be.

 

[Takumaji]

So don't let this tragedy cloud your judgment.

Exactly. It would play right into the hands of ISIS and other terrorists who most probably are celebrating the fact right now that they just made the world a bit worse. Let's not do the same, eh.

 

[Michael Yagami]

I've been at work and away from social media while this story has been unfolding

I'm just now getting the feed and I'm speechless.

I don't have any words right now.

eagles of death metal are not a heavy metal group.

They are, if you are a Mormon...

 

[Fygee]

I don't listen to them so I was just going off of what some of the news articles described them as.

Then again they have "death metal" in their name so I should have put 2 and 2 together. :P

every news article i've seen has labeled them as a 'blues rock' band. which is at least closer. its cool though. i saw someone else call them a metal band earlier and i figured i'd nip that one right in the bud.

 

[famicommander]

What an awful and depressing thing. I'm going to drink myself stupid(er) and hope this doesn't lead to another war in the Middle East.

 

[Marek]

and hope this doesn't lead to another war in the Middle East.

I'd say it's a few months too late for that, bud.

 

[famicommander]

It started long before that. I just meant that I hope there's not another full-scale invasion and ground war by western powers.

 

[Marek]

I knew what you meant. that's what we've got coming.

It's sad that France is dealing with this tragedy. I don't wish a 9/11 on anyone.

As an aside, I saw someone write about how "all white people are accountable for racism, and they should join in protests against racism if they aren't racist." And it made me think, "are all black people accountable for black crime?", and my answer was "no." And I don't think all Muslims are accountable for terrorism. I don't think most Muslims think of their religion as anything more than cultural identity. We have a few on these forums who are decent. So don't let this tragedy cloud your judgment.

This is true, and sadly these Muslims you speak of are considered hypocrites by their own religion. Here's just a few (of over 100) verses of criticism for peaceful Muslims right in the text itself:

Not equal are those of the believers who sit, except those who are disabled, and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit. Unto each, Allah has promised good, but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit by a huge reward

- Qur'an 4:95

And that He might know the ones who acted the hypocrite and to whom it was said, "Come, fight in the way of Allah or repel (the enemy)." They said, "If we knew (about) fighting, we would indeed closely follow you." They, upon that day were nearer to disbelief than to belief; they say with their mouths that which is not in their hearts; and Allah best knows whatever (secrets) they keep back.

- Qur'an 3:167

Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost (Shakir: "have the upper hand") for Allah is with you

- Qur'an 47:35



So if a Muslim doesn't believe that these terrorists are doing the right thing, then they are not a true Muslim, they're a hypocrite... straight from the source.

Anyways, I guess I'm just expressing my frustration at these ancient and backward ideals that are still pervading the middle east to this day. They're stuck in a bad religion and it's sad.

They're simply savages who have no place in the western world. But multiculturism, am I right?

Just like Charlie Hebdo before, terrorist attacks in the heart of europe frighten me alot more than anything happening in some middle-eastern shithole right now.

The french elections aren't that far and shit like this will most likely put the Front National in control of the country. If that happens, France will get out of the European Union and say fuck you to third world immigration.

Seems calculated when you mention this.

@ki_atsushi religion of peace though.

 

[totoro]

I've got a feeling that this is going to be the start of some serious shit.

This exactly...
...that aint gonna end well...

France used to be a country that was very good at waging war.
It wasn't until WW2 that they got the reputation of cheese eating surrender monkeys.

The french President has already vowed a "pitiless" war will be waged over this.
It's sad that this much was needed to wake up someone in Europe, but things will be better in the long run, hopefully.

 

[LWK]

This whole thing is a fucking mess to a new level.

 

[celeritas]

France used to be a country that was very good at waging war.
It wasn't until WW2 that they got the reputation of cheese eating surrender monkeys..

Are you sure about that? There's so many French military victories that there used to be an infamous Google Bomb accentuating their military prowess (did you mean French military defeats?).

The french elections aren't that far and shit like this will most likely put the Front National in control of the country. If that happens, France will get out of the European Union and say fuck you to third world immigration.

I think that's where there's going to be conflict brewing. All those migrants flooding the EU are probably going to find less and less sympathy for them in this environment, if they don't get flat-out deported out of the Schengen Area.

Same here, you think you would be safer here in the west. My thoughts go to the victims and their families.

Are just the terrorists the savages? If so, yes they don't belong anyone, let alone the 'west'. Multiculturalsim has nothing to do with it.

That what Terrorism does: terrifies.

The world needs to unite against this, enough is enough. I'm not going to label it as a Muslim attack (even though it's obvious it is), these people are just scum, despite their beliefs and despite where they come from, the colour of their skin, etc, etc.

They're people like anyone else, and I believe we should rally together and unite against them. If these were Christians, Scientologists, hippies, I'd be saying the same thing.

These people and their intent frighten me too. Kill them with fire.
