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

    Can you elaborate on this? You believe they drive people to suicide bombings, shooting and hostage taking?

    Your choice of terms there have me in disagreement already but I'm curious so I'll let you explain further.

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

    100 plus hostages at the concert. Jesus that's not going to end well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,972 ✭✭✭captbarnacles


    As robertkk said really looks like mumbai attack tactics with scattered bombing, random shooting into crowded venues and tgen hostage taking.

    I hope not but the mumbai fidayeen left few hostages alive.

    35 dead at EODM according to French police. Hate to say it but I fear we may have lost a musical genius in Josh Homme this evening


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,247 ✭✭✭Meglamonia


    Blaming and finger pointing?? We know well who was responsible for this.

    We all know, it's a foregone conclusion

    Why can't we say it? If it was any other race there would be no problem


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,330 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    40 dead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,559 ✭✭✭refusetolose


    40 dead now?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    A lot of childish comments here regarding a very serious incident taking place. Many folk dead already and the worry of those 60 or more hostages. Some folk here are just thick.

    I know this is horrible, but there is something about a live news event which has uncertainty that activates some part of one's brain that makes watching the news very addictive.

    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.

    Just like how the Irish integrated in Munich etc during the 80's German consturction boom speaking German?!. Like the Irish enclaves in North London and areas of other British cities. Opression and discrimination in England yes and for 100's of years. As native Engish speakers and christian beliefs we moved beyond enclaves for work and 'integrated' but not in social terms. Like there is integration in Northern Ireland! You are are offering the very point of view that puts communities off integration with the like it of lump it attitude. To integrate the natives need to be willing to allow it without generalised xenophobia!


  • Registered Users Posts: 548 ✭✭✭leavingirl


    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.

    I agree too. Tony blair and george bush should be tried in The Hague for war crimes.

    America has invaded Syria. Thats why yiu have all the refugees.

    Interment without trial for all suspected Islamists.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    Reports stating that the shooters were all "non-masked". That suggests they have absolutely no thought of escape & expect to fight to the death. This is going to be a rough one.

    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 of politically correct cowardice.

    Absolutely spot on. Political correctness gone mad. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who and what is likely responsible (yet again).

    A shoot out currently underway at the concert hall where 6-8 hostage takers are hiding inside with more on the roof.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Six to eight hostage takers at the concert venue, more on the roof where they is a shootout with police.

    I'll let him answer obviously but Paris is especially incendiary and always has. Walking to the Stade De France is an eye opener. San Denis. It's basically a shanty town either side of big barriers for the entire run to the stadium.

    La Haine was made in 1998 (i think). French immigrants in Paris have always been ripe for evil extremism due to their social and economic isolation.

    https://www.reddit.com/live/vwwmdb26t78v

    This has live updates from journalists and people in the city or in France, much faster than mainstream media.

    Supposedly 60 dead now, some people in Bataclan at the concern have gotten out but are describing others dead or wounded...

    Insane :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 272 ✭✭Padster90s


    Death toll climbing fast.

    Think this guy is in the concert hall updating as to what happened/is going on.

    Are you saying the catholic populations in Northern Ireland were xenophobic and that's the problem?

    Could we be witnessing the end of Schengen tonight? When this incident eventually ends I don't think Merkel or Hollande will be able to convince anyone of their actions to date.

    Nothing to do with race. The amount of melanin or whatever in one's skin does not inspire one to commit mass murder. Adherence to an uncompromisingly backward & violent ideology does however.

    Just getting a comment in before the thread is locked - as it will be.

    These murderers are war criminal scum - murdering innocents, just like 9/11.

    Dregs of society, war criminal scum- as we well know from our own dregs of society scum.

    Usually right wing morons use the phrase "political correctness gone mad", but over the last few years it really has gone mad. If you call extremists crazy you're told to check your privilege.

    Joe Duffy was one of the main cheer leaders when Irish Muslims where heading over to fight Jihad 3 years ago. How's that looking now Joe?

    Very sad incident. Hopefully its the wakeup call that will get Europe to act. RIP to all those dead, may their families get justice.

    No we don't. The "race" you're alluding to isn't one big group of like-minded people. It could be ISIS, Al-Qaeda, some local mob independent of both, or some other faction we haven't heard of.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Calling extremism crazy is one thing- blaming a whole race or religion is not right on any level


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


    The French Revolution sought to promote fraternity and liberty...freedom from oppression from man or god.

    The struggle continues.

    Vive le France.
