    Stadium sealed off according to france 24, crowd unaware of anything going on match still going , france scored.

    Hostages at the Batacan according to france 24, eagles of death metal playing there over 100 shots fired.

    The match is well over.

    Fair amount of bollocks being spouted on this thread.

    To all those lashing out at an entire mass of people based upon the actions of a few, you are exhibiting exactly the kind of response the culprits want you to show. Well done.

    It's all the more pitiful when one considers this is exactly the kind of crap Irish people had to contend with in the 70s when they were subjected to hostility in England based upon the actions of the Provos.

    Get real. And to those who want to see action, send in the troops etc,. it's very easy to be an armchair general when you come from a neutral country, isn't it? Am I to take it many of the hawks on here will be flying over to Turkey and heading into Syria in order to personally take up this cause they are so passionate about? Nah, didn't think so.

    Stadium is closed off, so nobody is leaving. The police force would just be slightly inept if they didn't do that right away..

    And yet we take in people from these parts of the world without so much as a background check.

    Dick look at the big picture. Why are america in the middle east? Think about it for at least one hour before replying.

    To liberate?
    To help the zionists?

    Clue: my first option has a hint of sarcasim.

    can we blame the religion of peace yet?

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    The deputy mayor of Paris says shooting is still going on.

    100% caused? No role for a violently hateful ideology? I have no doubt that social factors can be a contributory factor in people going off the rails but to absolve (as you appear to do here) jihadist ideology (which has had plenty of privileged, wealthy supporters) of blame is to engage in self delusion.

    I didn't defend jihadism but you cannot blame a whole religioun for the acts of a minority

    Is Muhammad Ali a terrorist????

    Oh i agree the US and the UK should never have gone into Iraq and it's there stupidity that has made this situation worse, my own opinion is that the West should leave those countries alone don't invade them or take them into our countries.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,758 ✭✭✭Laois_Man


    It doesn't make sense that they set the bombs to go off outside the stadium while everyone was inside and not waiting another hour when they'd all be coming out?

    At least 30 people dead now

    Explosion at Stade de France bar. 5-6 ongoing attacks. Horrific.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    Islamic extremists do not represent the "Muslim world", whatever that is. These people are enemies of the civilisation we all enjoy. Pacifism is not the answer.

    UK are right to keep those people at channel tunnel and still in France. France are stupid to allow them to be there, no one knows who is in that mix of people.

    Bollox mate !!!

    BOLLOX!!!

    comparing this to Irish people in the 70s is ridiculous !! - a tiny tiny percentage of Irish were sympathetic to the IRA and the bombing campaign in the north, a huge amount of muslims are sympathetic to ISIS .

    The west doesn't do enough to integrate these people - they are afraid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    I think we will get another war soon unless we do something about ISIS as there getting worse and worse. They killed one of there leaders today and this is payback.

    Every time we do something to stop them they kill loads of people they have shot down a plane after Russia bombed them. Now we kill one of there leaders they kill more of us.

    This needs to stop !!!.

    Money, natural resources, positioning themselves in a globally crucial area due to said natural resources, nothing else.

    Any Muslim I have ever met have been kind and caring and I can guarantee you that they are disgusted by these scumbags carrying out terrorist acts in the name of their religion.
    Funny then these actions are mainly only carried out by followers of Islam.

    Not saying it is beyond this kind of scum to do something like that but that would have a lots of kids involved.
    Probably the only way to make even the most delusional defenders of this lot say: enough is enough

    Political Correctness and integration didn't cause this. Extremism is caused by isolation and ghettoisation.

    extremism is caused by religion,being fed and believing bullsheet all your life is the problem.

    MOD

    Lads, this is a serious incident. A bit of cop on is needed in what you are posting.
    As KERSPLAT! has already said, calm down on the blaming and finger pointing, it's all speculation at the moment.

    There have already been a few bans handed out on the thread since the last warning.
    Do not try to debate or discuss this one.
    Discuss what is happening and what we know. Again, no speculation.

    °°°°°


    It's some world we live in. We all know what's going on and who is responsible but we're too afraid to say it in case we offend the people who are doing the killing. Time to grow some balls before we allow these people to profit from our politically correct cowardice.

    Glazers Out!

    Don't take it too literally. I ain't getting any enjoyment out of this. Bad taste I know.


  • Registered Users Posts: 272 ✭✭Padster90s


    Any claims of responsibility yet? Just heard on the radio there's at least 1 gunman on the run. Alot of people are saying isis but aqap- al qaeda in yemen seem to be bigger in France.

    There is no such thing as terrorism qua terrorism. It is always inspired by an ideology of some sort. Whether the acts tonight are inspired by a version of Islam, white supremacism, animal rights or whatever it will be the followers of that set of ideas who will have to confront the challenges to their conscience that being part of the same tent (however large that tent may be) as the murderers poses. The no true muslim/Republican/anti-abortion activist/whatever line does not excuse them from that process, however decent people may be as individuals.

    No its just a couple of terrorists on a killing spree
