Not to be political, but I do not think it is a matter of this thing happens too often. That is more like people dying from drunk drivers. To me, it is more like ISIS is on a mission. What to do.

Prayers for all. Especially shocking for me as my wife and I were just there four months ago.

Hate to say this but, this is just the beginning. There is know way you are going to stop this from happening. I certainly hope we have enough sense to close our borders to the Syrian Refugees. There will be all kinds of Isis embedded in those refugees. I would not want to be living in Europe right now, having to look over your shoulder all the time.

I suspect our world changed again tonight. Sometimes it takes something like this to get "sleeping tigers" to awake.

I hope. I tried warning about this here a few weeks ago and upset some people who want to welcome "Syrian refugees" with open arms and doors.

I've always been a live and let live kind of person.... but there is only one thing that is understood by the people who perpetrated this and other similar tactics...the sooner we understand that the better.

We have absolutely no proof who caused this attack. ISIS itself has not claimed responsibility. Nor is there any evidence this is related to the mass migration currently going on.

Want to push your Islamophobic agenda? Fine. But at least have some shred of evidence before doing so.

The Charlie Hebdo attack was perpetrated by natural born Frenchmen.

So pump the brakes on SYRIA OMG.

Yeah... They don't want anything close to peace. I wish they would leave everyone alone. I'm afraid that won't happen. Clearly...


Echo the prayers.

That is a very reasonable, politically correct response...

That being said, the first thing I thought when I read the headline, before anything ended, was Muslim extremist terrorist attack. I would've bet A LOT on that, if pressed.

As for evidence...
I just read that the terrorists were discussing Syria and Iraq.

And Charlie Hebdo attacks were may have been natural born Frenchmen, but they were also Muslim extremists.

Now all of that being said... before accusing someone of pushing Islamophobic agendas perhaps wait to see whether it's Islamophobia or reasonable assumptions based on significant past experiences.

Hey, perhaps I'm wrong... maybe this was a complicated bank robbery. Or a Christian extremist attack. Or perhaps it was done by militant Hasidim. Any Buddhists out there that were on terrorist watch lists lately?

The first person arrested stated he was a Syrian affiliated with ISIS. The survivors stated the terrorists shouted Allah Akbar. I can understand why apologists for Islamic terror are angry. But you should be angry at the person who decided the war on terror was over.

In July, ISIS threatened an attack in Paris. All terror attacks in France this year were by Muslims.

ISIS also downed the Russian Jet.

They aren't contained; they aren't the JV; and global climate confusion isn't a bigger threat.

Even if you're an apologist for Islamic terror, they want to kill you too.
