France Truck Attack

[matelot]

My heart goes out to the French. Yet another terrorist attack and 84 dead.

 

The authorities will really have to sort this problem...

[Gary Prentice]

How do sort it out though?

Cue another political "keyboard warrior" thread

 

But yes, thoughts to those in France. A terrorist attack there every 18 months now on average...

[skyhuck]

Absolutely horrendous, my heart goes out to all those affected.

 

There seem something strange about this:confused1:

 

The truck was driving very slowly until the police opened fire and then it sped up and started swerving, strange:confused1:

Over the years I've gone over this subject time and again..

and the only long term solution is to undermine Islam by exposing it for the fraud that it is.

 

How can a Muslim lunatic carry out such attacks if he's unsure that his beliefs are built on solid ground...

 

We have to have scholars delve into the foundation of their holy books to pick the thing apart.. much as they have Christianity...

 

In the short term, nothing much to do, but put it behind us and carry on like nothing ever happened, the one thing these lunatics want is to cause a civil war between Europe and Islam. Best to stick two fingers up at them by ignoring them, treat em like a troll..

Nothing worse than being ignored....

Yet there are lots of Christians left in this world

 

Think your plan is floored.

 

 

Only just heard about this attack. Bloody awful but cant see how this type of attack could be stopped.

The Israelis lock suspects up for years if a military officer considers them a threat. It's not ideal, but I don't really see an alternative.

 

The entire Middle East is a tinderbox and they keep a lid on things by having a brutal police state. You step out of line there and you spend a long time in a very brutal jail... I had a Jordanian mate that was a communist and he went on a protest march, he was arrested and spent a few days in prison.

They believe their holy book was written by god. I can absolutely guarantee that if a scholar starts rewriting it he will be killed. If a scholar starts criticising it he will get killed.

 

How many times do you have to get punched before you realise you're in a fight?

Paul Westons take on it. Worth watching.

I lived and worked among Turkish Muslims for a number of years and the simple truth is that as a faith they are taught from an early age that its the Muslim way or no way, the rest of us are just infidels.

 

They are believers from childhood and questioning the faith is just going to alienate them and drive them further into the hands of extremists.
