This is obviously going to be an extremely emotive thread, we will bear that in mind while we attempt to balance modding with free discussion.

Please separate Muslim from ISIS/Islamic Extremists/Terrorists. We cannot tolerate peaceful human beings being branded otherwise.

Please try to be civil but also have a little more patience with your fellow posters as this is a worrying time for all of us.

Jusdging by recent trends its usually a radicalised national. God knows there are enough oppressed minorities living in Paris.

I feel a France German soccer match was a poor choice of target. There will be a lot of pressure of France to step up their military reaction.

Peist2007

If Isis the French will want to have a chat with their friends in Qatar

BoJack Horseman

AP saying 2 explosions outside Stade De France.... France playing Germany at the moment?
Could be flares/fireworks though.

Now let's not jump to conclusions...it wouldn't be proper.

"Oppressed" in what way?

JONJO THE MISER

This is what happens when you have mass immigration from cultures who will never intergrate.

Lovely Bloke

Opressed?

Do me a favour. There is no-one "opressed" in Western Europe. What there are are people who wish to live outside of Western norms, well do you know what? Fúck them. Integrate, or go elsewhere where your ideas are welcome tbh, but don't try to impose medieval, religious nonsense on the rest of us, then get all uppity when normal people don't want to live like that.

There are oppressed in europe without even bringing religion into it. Go into the outer suburbs of Paris and you will see oppression. People with no hope. Religion is a separate issue.

C'mon now JonJo.....

I'm sure allowing in 180,000 military aged, unemployed muslim men into Europe... per month, will be fine & dandy!

(not that we know the cause of this incident yet mind.... but who is taking bets?)

The shooter is on the run according to CNN.

Is that a live broadcast from someones phone?

Deep Six

Let's all take a random guess at what fairy-tale religion this gunman is brainwashed by.

Seems to be. I dont speak French but he's making more sense than Kay Burley

If so, as tragic as this may be, that is pretty amazing technology.

Everyone with a mobile phone is essentially their own live broadcaster.
No TV station can compete with that.

Was thinking the same. We'll find out in two minutes that its not live thereby ruining our childlike abandon

Ignoring our instincts is exactly what has gotten Europe into this mess in the first place.

"Several grenades were thrown towards Gate D of the Stade de France, several bodies have been torn to shreds, according to BFMTV."


"2 dismembered bodies have been found outside the Stade de France, police sources say they could be suicide bombers, according to TF1."

The religion of peace again.

But of course we know what the response will be over the next 24 hours. Outrage, disgust and then the typical PC liberals will come out and use hastags to make people know they aren't racist when Islam isn't even a race.

A few statements from some mosques and then the papers will go back to reporting on Wayne Rooney's hair cut.

Hostage situation at one of the incident areas.

Threes scenes of violence.

Sky saying 18 dead.

Custardpi

Following this on Libération's site. The police are saying 18 dead. Qu'ils reposent en paix. Absolutely horrific.

http://www.liberation.fr/direct/

KERSPLAT!

Unofficial reports of 18 dead on Sky News

RIP

Lovely Bloke

Glad the dismembered bodies didn't make it into the stadium and can collect their two hundred virgins by themselves and not bring any innocents with them.

Pure scum.

Irishness isn't an ideology. Irish republicanism is on the otherhand. Republicans did indeed have to do a hell of a lot of soul searching, compromise & adjustment to realities in order for there to be a viable peace settlement on this island.

I deleted it.
I have no idea why I type other words than the ones I'm thinking of. I do it a lot.
This is not looking good. Looks like a coordinated attack of some scale.

This is extremely scary to me!
