"Muslim" terrorists attack French magazine in Paris

The way forward is not to hate Muslims, but neither is it to excuse Islam.

Words like “Islamophobia” and blasphemy try to shut down discussion, and that can’t be allowed if there is to be a solution.

For those who claim that the actions of western countries are mainly to blame, I offer the words of the french jihadists the other day “God is Great” and “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad – no mention of drones at all – maybe we should take them at their word.

I agree with all of that but it still seems reasonable to suggest our behaviour [western foreign policy generally] has helped spread resentment and has not spread radicalism. It has not caused this incident but it may have fuelled their journey to radicalism

We have been coping with radical Islam for generations

I think he meant to say “we’ve been coping with radicalising muslims for generations”

Still you support them and criticise the nasty terrorists. You are both beyond parody and reason.
Whoppit was way to polite in his response to you

I haven’t the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Why does anything need to be “done” about Muslims?

Yes Hora , the state formed by terrorism, has been nothing but the victim of others act if brutality and they way the treat the Palestinians is nothing short of Humanitarian and example to us all

I doubt the west will end up in worse state than israel unless we start to treat Muslims worse than they do.

If i wanted advice on dealing with arabs/Muslims and living side by side in peace and harmony I would no more ask the advice of Israel than I would ask Nazis about how to treat the “jewish problem”

YMMV and forgive the goodwin

Jambalaya – have you seen this report from our Saudi ‘friends’
A man who supports feminism and is an atheist and used Facebook

Utterly despicable demonstration of what a good many of the extremists want to see applied here in the West.

Would now be a good time to mention this?

One of these is freedom of expression the other had to be retracted:

I see the usual suspects here have their heads in the sand. Read that piece a few times. There is a chilling truth in almost every line. The extremists exist, to attempt to passify or normalise them is pointless. These killers murdered journalists for drawing a cartoon, its nothing to do with Western action at home or abroad. Nothing to do with a 10 year old ban on headscarfs worn by teachers or action against ISIS or Al-Q. They were born in France and lived their entire lives there supported by all the French state has to offer.

EDIT: Just for those that don’t know Al-Monitor is a news website run by a Syrian living in the US, its pretty balanced IMO

They were born in France and lived their entire lives there supported by all the French state has to offer.

So who trained them then?

Let me guess, the freemasons, on orders from the lizards and their control structures?

You tell me, I’m interested in the basis for jambalaya’s account…

A balanced newspaper has various views within i. The issue is whether that commentator was balanced not the entire content and whilst criticising others for having their head in the sand you both missed that point and did not comment on it ….oh the irony.

The extremists exist, to attempt to passify or normalise them is pointless.

I agree i have no desire to normalise Israels behaviour …YOU ?

THe issue was whether we should ignore human rights in order to “deal with them”. Again you missed the point – this time the one you made – I have no idea how you do this tbh and i am starting to suspect trolling, this is bizarre. Clearly you support this but only as long as your side that does it and we blame them for us doing it .

Its not a “principle” i support.

So who trained them then?

One of them is known to have been to the Jihadis training camps in Yemen

A chilling truth from unnamed sources (which doesn’t surprise me from you) that disagrees with several ex-heads of the organisation one source is supposedly from. Hawkish pish.

Supposition much?

Not disagreeing with the general message, but lumping all Israelis into one murderous group is similar to lumping all Muslims in with Islamist extremists. As I’m distantly related by marriage to some moderate Israelis, just to declare my connection.

Hope ST Towers are happy to have Charlie’s cartoons on their website?

@ Tom W I am referring to the sate not all the people within it and your point is true

Damn, forgot to use the word “nuance” …..

Anyone come up with a satisfactory explanation for the lack of blood yet?

Compare:

Do you just spend your life looking for conspiracies in absolutely anything and everything?

What Who made you say that 😉

No, but when key events are unfolding and the powers that be have a very rich history in falsehoods, lies and fabrication, it’d be silly to just buy it every time without some analysis…

Lifer .. “Supposition much”

To quote myself:
“For those who claim that the actions of western countries are mainly to blame, I offer the words of the french jihadists the other day “God is Great” and “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad – no mention of drones at all – maybe we should take them at their word.”

I’m not saying that the actions of western governments are irrelevant in this discussion .. just that when people murder others and then _clearly say_ they are killing for a particular reason perhaps the search for a solution would benefit from listening.

The religion of peace again spreading it’s message of peace of love again I see…

We obviously need to give them a cuddle and tolerate them more…

it’d be silly to just buy it every time without some analysis

could you not just buy it every once in a while? For a change, like.

We obviously need to give them a cuddle and tolerate them more…

We should help them integrate more. If they spent their youth getting pissed, then instead of expressing their alienation through violent religious extremism, they could do it in the more time-honoured western fashion of kicking the shit out of each other outside a kebab house at 3 in the morning.

If the aim was to ‘avenge the prophet’ then what’s the rest of the carry on about? Much more dangerous to limit the scope of potential motivation IMO.

I wish; but you really have to wonder when MPs and the people running the intelligence services have interests like private military contractors/mercenaries:

The problem I have with all conspiracies is that they assume a level of ruthless competence, and efficiency in those allegedly carrying them out. And thats where it all falls down for me

they assume a level of ruthless competence

Agreed – it’s usually a combination of mindless self-interest

SKY NEWS: Armed man takes hostage at Kosher grocery store in Paris following a shooting

You have to remember, these same people manage to get such vastly complex projects as aircraft carriers funded, constructed, staffed and operated, as just a tiny part of the system.

Then of course there is all the associated technology in Jets, drones and the weapons they fire…

Do you think GCHQ/NSA just came together by accident?

Anyone come up with a satisfactory explanation for the lack of blood yet?

@jive I gave you the answer immediately (my knowledge comes from reading accounts of photographers from WW2). Do what I suggested and look for ISIS execution videos, vice news have many. Lots of executions with zero blood.

Yes, but they don’t construct aircraft carriers etc without anybody noticing, do they?

For the most part the ‘security forces’, governments etc, who are always (the ‘shadowy figures’?) behind these supposed conspiracies, just demonstrate that they couldn’t organise a piss up in brewery

Pretty good cover buffoonery:

Bet it’d take some doing to arrange maintenance and paying the bills of a house like that mind:

I guess Junkyard is too busy thinking up his next bizarre allegation about me to answer my question, then.

Hey ho.

Lifer .. I do kind of agree.
I’m not saying that western influence has zero effect, just trying to counteract the two narratives that pop up on these threads.
a) “Its all our (the wests) own fault and nothing to do with religion” VS.
b) “All Muslims are ‘orrible jihadists”.

Having said that .. what they (the French jihadists) said is what they said.
We should listen because it implies that invasions, drones and misplaced hellfire missiles which kill innocent people aren’t actually their primary motivation (despite what many western liberals seem to think).

Do you think it’s likely that they woke up one morning, saw this cartoon, and said “Well up til now I’ve had no issue at all but now, I’m going to flip out and go on a killing spree”? You have a hate-filled, resentful man convinced his faith is under attack, I’d say it’s a given that this is the trigger but many things have led to the point where he goes mental.

I don’t think it was a trigger as much as an easily identifiable and soft target.

None of my comments were aimed at you, though one mentioned your response to someone when you called them a nob and i said you were to polite. I saw little point in responding to your comments
You may also wish to consider why i said if in my responses to other posters and reflect …or not as the case may be,

hey ho

I guess Junkyard is too busy thinking up his next bizarre allegation about me to answer my question, then.

Going to go out on a limb – I reckon he thought you were referring to the poster when you said “Nob”…not the person in the quote. That’s what I thought at first too.
