Attacks in Paris

[George Hannah]

But the IRA had a relatively limited political aim, which was (for the most part) achieved by the power sharing arrangement. What is the political aim of ISIS that we could conceivably negotiate over?

They are at war with the west but we don't see it that way yet.

Borders shut. Good man.

I think when it comes to France there are a number of issues with their immigrant population and the total lack of integration and the levels of poverty and unemployment and the feeling of isolation that extremists feed on

Well it's gonna happen.

No, it's not.

This is a different type and level of terrorism,these bastards have no fear or worry about their consequences,fanaticals who are so blinked that they can not be reasoned with,the jihadi John killing will only fuel these fuckers more so ...

not tory bashing pal.........not seen him on mainstream tv......have you?

He has no need to do anything but put out a statement and call an emergency Cobra meeting

Raid the fucking theater! They're executing the hostages one by one.

They are raiding it and how do you know they are excecuting them one by one.

It's a fucking nasty situation but I'm not trusting anything I hear about it till the morning, these things always spike with speculation.

Hysterical!! Have you not taken your meds tonight, at the end of this carnage it is likely that nearly 200 people will be butchered, get a fucking grip of yourself you wet fanny

My, what big balls you have.

It's not an attitude that's going to solve anything though, neither will Blue Haze's earlier suggestions. It really is going to take brains not just brawn and knee-jerk reaction. We've tried that.

Totally agree

This is what people fail to understand. Islam isn't like Catholicism or CofE, where there's an undisputed head. and even in those religions, there are different strands (e.g. Opus Dei, Jesuits, etc.) There are a number of different Islamic sects, mainly Shia and Sunni but there are other smaller ones. Within those top level sects, there are different belief sets (e.g. the Wahhabist movement, which is a belief set in Sunni Islam). Islam & Judaism are largely based on individual communities and places of worship. There's no one who speaks for these with a single voice.

Well all the voices should unite with the same message, regardless of which sect or strand they belong to.


I know I'm being naive and it's an incredibly complex situation but that would be a start

Hollande looks absolutely shellshocked
