When terrorists of any religion come right out and say they're doing it in the name of their religion, you can't take them at their word, because reasons. But politics, that's okay to blame. Also because reasons.
Uhh never heard of the IRA? Living in the NW of England a lot of their terrorism either passed through or occurred here. Both my parents where in Manchester when a massive bomb destroyed much of the town centre. I take it I should blame just the terrorists and not the religion because they are not muslims?

Umm, the sandboones state unequivocally that their religion is their motivation. I don't hear the IRA stating that. Regardless, there's good and bad everywhere. Just so happens there's a lot more bad amongst the camel humpers.
Was the IRA fighting over religion or was it fighting a imperialist United Kingdom in an attempt to merge Northern Ireland back into the rest of Ireland? Did the IRA ever support forcing people to convert to their religion or get beheaded? Did the IRA kill people who insulted God? Did the IRA ever run around screaming "God is Great!" while killing people? Is the IRA hell-bent on spreading it's religion around the world? Religion may have been an issue in Ireland and the IRA but it has never been the sole reason the IRA did what it did. Islamic terrorists? They are doing it because in their eyes God loves them smiting the non-believers. And any who are not of the Islamic faith are non-believers.
They are working their way up to shooting schoolgirls on a bus - you have to walk before you can run!
Fuck that, just send a giant bulldozer to the moon and have it drive around etching an image of Muhammad shagging a goat into the regolith. Not so large as to deface the moon to the naked eye, but big enough that one can just make it out with a pair of 10x binocs.
They were a little outgunned. Plus they were dead. Or perhaps you missed the part of the video were the terrorists walk up to a wounded police officer begging for his life and they casually shoot him in the head killing him?
No, everyone saw that. It is the how come after the first cop was gunned down (and they started shooting people in the building) they only sent a single cop instead of multiple units? Hell, with all the civilian video of the attacks it seems like they could have a decent idea of where they were going when they fled. That doesn't seem to be the case though.
It takes time to get to a scene. And Paris isn't exactly a bastion of nice big roads with no traffic on them.
That was my thought too - this attack seems pretty well coordinated and not nearly the poorly executed "lone wolf" attacks we've seen recently in Sydney and Ottawa. Them being trained somewhere in the Middle East does make sense. Fucking shooting people over cartoons though, unreal. I hope this unites France and makes everyone support their values even more than they did when they woke up this morning.
Exactly, which makes me wonder how they were able to get away with the Parisian traffic what it is. Risky business taking a getaway car in that city, it's literally taken me 45 minutes to move a couple of hundred meters in that city.
I've just read they think they have the getaway car. Of course they aren't sure yet. It wouldn't surprise me if the two terrorists ditched the car a couple blocks down the street and switched vehicles or went into one of the nearby buildings. Hopefully they fucked up somehow and if it is the car they left identifying clues in the vehicle. @shootER merge Auroa's thread into this one.
Also, kudos to @Zombie for needing only two posts to so egregiously overshoot any sane reaction that you've actually got people defending Islam on this of all days. You could turn people against little kittens if you took their side.
Why thank you. But seriously Rick would defend them even if I was defending them or not involved in this thread at all. Rick and a few others on this board including yourself are blind when it comes to the threat of Islam. Islam is a threat to your way of life and you better wake up to that fact. When it comes to Islam almost all you lefties are retarded. A few like Jan Jensen and Aurora at least see that Islam is a threat to Western Civilization.
