Attacks in Paris

[mat]

No one has taken responsibility yet.

There's some wild accusations on this thread already.

how can you stay out of it though ? they are killing thousands of innocent people and attacking europe. i dont think we can stay out of this.

it hasn't worked mate....just makes it worse

Of course not, but would you dispute that allowing hundreds of thousands of people into Europe from ISIS breeding grounds just might be a factor in an increase of terrorist attacks in this continent?

Having more of them here gives them the opportunity to pull off the well orchestrated, timed and planned attacks like we've seen tonight. This hasn't just been one or two nutjobs with guns like 7/7 or Charlie Hebdo.

If you think recent terrorists who just arrived from Syria pulled an operation like this off you are a nut job. This takes serious planning and money. This will have been in the works for quite some time.

I hardly think it's the end of the human race, these sorts of attacks have been going on for many years and the terrorists act under a number of guises

Wait till they get a real bomb.

im not saying it has, but you can't talk to them and you can't do nothing

Apologies for my over simplistic perhaps naive view.

But where are the heads of the Islamic faith condoning this violenders and these militants?? I'm not just talking about Paris given its still unfolding, I meant in general.

There is no central authority since the demise of the Ottoman Empire and that is part of the problem in that you have a number of competing versions of Islam claiming they are the true version

Depressingly, I don't think there is a solution. You just have to try and contain as best you can. Which in itself is a pretty bleak prospect.

I think we could very feasibly clamp down on attacks in Europe if we turn a blind eye to everything in the Middle East. They don't want us there and I don't think we particularly want to have troops there.

While this is a nasty situation, I don't trust the figures being mentioned by the media, they always increase the figures to get the viewers, but I think it's going to be a high figure.

If they attack the UK in a conventional manner we can do something
