Some mothertrucker in France just killed a bunch of folks!

Why is everyone so afraid of math in the Red Room?

It was kind of amusing when news of all the people killed in France was coming in the news, Amy and Annalee were going out for a drive I heard Amy say

"We don't go over there and bomb them!"

The last thing I heard was Annalee saying "...uhmm....Mom..."

Frankly you're twisting logic like taffy to support a....belief.

Not when it's approximate total is is the size of several standing Armies it isn't.

1.9 Billion Muslims globally
"Several Hundred Thousand" terrorist from said Muslim population
Majority of Terrorist incidents globally perpetrated by terrorist who proclaim themselves to be Muslim.

Sorry Packard, but Occam's Razor.

No, I really don't. How many Chinese Uyghurs do you see fighting for ISIS? How many fighters from Uzbekistan? How many Khazaks? Which "Muslim population" are we talking about? You asked how many Muslims there were in the world so I assumed you mean the global population. I asked you for clarification. You've failed to give it.

Nobody has suggested that there isn't a significant problem with Islamic extremism. Hell, I routinely argue for a full ground war against ISIS. It's the "it represents all Muslims"/"the (fictional) monolithic singular entity of Islam is to blame" narrative that I and other don't buy into. I fight against the bigotry here because the actions of that terrorist minority still don't justify that bigotry....and that is part of the reason you won't see me jumping on the bandwagon. It's why you don't see me banging on with jingoistic rhetoric or coming out with "religion of peace" sarcasm on here. Believe me, I have nothing but contempt for these religiously brainwashing, evil people. I have many criticisms to make of Islamic communities and their approach to the problem. I despise the very concept of people commiting any kind of hateful, violent or oppressive acts in the name of fairytales. But I choose not to discuss those views in detail because not only is everything I say already subject to straw man nonsense, but if I am critical of, for instance, the British Islamic community, I think bigots like @Dinner only will see that as an endorsement of their bigootry.[/quote]

Are you going out of your way to be thick?

If you agree with what is said in this article then maybe you should stop bitching about our gun culture when some nut shoots up some place. It's not "gun culture" that's causing these attacks it's, in this case, a lone wolf who aparantly heeded the call of ISIS who wants people like this to carry out attacks in their own country.

It's a Wrodforge tradition.

FBI director Comey on Nice attack: "extremely careless driver."

More narrative driving:

Yeah, I've heard reports that he was Allah'ing it up, but then they interview his ex wife's cousin who basically calls him the world's biggest douchebag:

I'm trying to figure out what four letter word works best in the asterisks. I mean, she could be saying "shit," but it doesn't quite fit. I haven't learned enough French to know all of the slang, so I'm probably missing something.
That said, it doesn't surprise me. It's like the assholes who say something in the name of Jesus/Allah/Jenny McCarthy before causing the deaths of millions. They do it because it will get them attention, and of course the needle pricks who do sponsor terrorism lap it up because it gets them notoriety. There was a time when people were ashamed of that shit, but now it's all "give me my 15 minutes," the sons of bitches.

If only he'd adhered to the tenants of his barbaric faith, this tragedy could've been avoided!

Spare the me hand wringing narrative driving, the 9/11 hijackers notoriously whored it up before committing their acts.

Pretty much - I read that like 80% of confiscated ISIS computers are filled with porn even though it's explicitly verboten.

There was a time that leftists could attack opposing thoughts with ridicule.

That time is coming to an end.

So anybody have a clue why the truck was packed with armaments, when he clearly wasn't going to be able to use them?

Perhaps he carjacked another terrorist on the way there.

They suspect he had an accomplice.

Have we seen that confirmed recently? Starting to wonder if it wasn't radio static. It would certainly destroy the disgruntled dad narrative.

a few replica guns and a disabled grenade is all I've heard.

His neighbors are saying he wasn't religious. He was disturbed.

How come all the mentally disturbed mass killers in Europe these days seem to be named Muhammed?

Man with machette arrested at vigil for victims.

That's why I asked. Without the arms, it looks quite a bit like an impulsive act. But with them, it's hard to explain, since he presumably had some plan that involved delivery and use of the weapons.

What's I saw this evening said he had one pistol, 3 fake(?) rifles, and a dud grenade.

You'd think all the irreligious behavior would be a clear sign that the attackers claims of being religiously motivated were bullshit, but idiots on both sides really want this to be a holy war.

ISIS and their ilk are basically just a ripoff of Project Mayhem, dressed up as a religious movement to appeal to rubes.

Yet he mowed down infidels just as ISIS has been demanding for the past two years. The first 'I' in ISIS means "Islamic".

Bring it.

So in other words, you don't like what the facts show, but you have no argument to support your opinion. Yet instead of changing it accordingly, you've just decided to repeat the same argument that has already been completely discredited:

So I'll just repeat my refutation again, as well:

So who killed the 11,000 people that died in Islamic terrorist attacks this year, and who conducted the 29,000 separate Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11? Why do 42% of French Muslims age 18 to 29 say they support suicide bombing?

All of your numbers are off, but that isn't the point here anyway. Do you indict all male humans?
