Jesus. Horrific stuff.
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages, What feats he did that day
Just another nail in the coffin of Western Civilisation.
To be frank, you'd be as well just converting now.
*Edit, the BBC, as you would expect, doesn't mention the beheadings and calls it quite simply "a knife attack" and then goes on to basically blame France, like a lot of people here and there will no doubt do.

Did anyone catch last week those two towns projecting the Mo cartoons against municipal buildings? Sparked some heated debate in various corners of the internet, unsurprisingly.
On the one hand, yes, it is provocative and would stir up further hostility from the Muslim community liek this horrendous incident. On the other, if you don't do it or something else to reinforce that anyone has the right to depict the prophet, whether it's in an educational context as with the teacher or straight up wanting to be offensive for the sake of it, then the extremists win. Yet if you take the course to assert the rights and secularism of France it gets construed as attacking Islam and helps the extremist recruiters. Every action that is perceived to encroach upon Islam fuels actions that will encourage greater state intervention and resentment of the French public towards their Islamic citizens (regardless of whether they're Islamists or not), yet the state cannot simply turn the other cheek. To do so would be a dereliction of duty to the populous.
It's a vicious Catch 22 to which I see no solution.

So is Christianity if you only measure it by the actions of those on the fringes.
Ban all imaginary sky fairies is the way to go ; or at the very least tax them into oblivion.

Look, Sam, it's not my fault if you don't have the bravery or balls to answer it.

At the risk of indulging you, yes. Also no.
It's obviously not all Muslims or we'd be in outright warfare, but that statement feels an awful lot like 'not all men' when certain women's issues are discussed. No, not all, but enough. Then around that there will be those who actively support and legitimise, but do not themselves commit the atrocities. Then there are those who offer more tacit support, those who feign or claim indifference (which is tantamount to tacit support), others who are too cowed to speak up when they encounter an extremist view or support for extremists (again, functionally tacit support). It is an Islam problem and as someone with strong French heritage and still has family over there l I'm getting particularly sick and fucking tired of all the excuses that get made for the one faith group that keeps providing individuals willing to execute our citizens and an environment that nurtures them.
However, with that, there are Muslims perfectly happy to adhere to the norms and laws of the Western European societies they live in. Many have started to liberalise massively. They are absolutely compatible.
How we ditch the former, keep the latter and quash Islamist terror I simply do not know.

That's a lovely, but naive opinion. Given the atrocities committed against tens of thousands of young vunerable children and young women in this country that could not and would not have happened without the implicit enabling of most of the culprits communities. It's unescapable logic.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:31 amAt the risk of indulging you, yes. Also no.

If I read that correctly, Western Civilisation was built on the back of raping children?
That's a new height in apologism. Congratulations, that's really set the bar quite high.

Failed attack in Avignon with the perp shot dead before he could do anything. Knife attack at the French consulate in Saudi too. Thankfully no one seriously hurt.

Imo it will probably take another ten years of sustained Islamic terrorist activity in Europe for the masses to come to terms with what is going on and muster up the collective will to do something to meaningfully address the problem.
Up until now people who have been warning about the threat of Islam have been written off as "far right extremists" but as more and more people see that the threat posed to western civilisation is real those opinions will move into the mainstream.

The Left scream "far right" at anything that isn't slightly left of Pol Pot. They are going to be in for a very big surprise when the real "far right" emerge due to the inaction by politicans of all colours and the media. Don't say you weren't warned.

You are both right.

I remember few months after 9/11, a French tv reporter in Paris was asking teenage muslims who their hero was, Zidane was at the top but many mentioned bin fucking laden, girls included.
The past decade terrorist attacks were done mainly by "school dropout losers turned small time drug dealers" who considered themselves more Algerian than French.
Right now most of these attacks in Europe are done by young refugees coming from Afghanistan Syria and other shitholes that are living in a totally different world are proving that they are completely incompatible to be living in our society.

There'd be far fewer radical Muslims in Europe if it wasn't for Barack Hussein Obama creating the refugee crisis by de-stabilising Libya and funding extremists in Syria to try to topple al-Assad.

On the other, if you don't do it or something else to reinforce that anyone has the right to depict the prophet, whether it's in an educational context as with the teacher or straight up wanting to be offensive for the sake of it, then the extremists win. Yet if you take the course to assert the rights and secularism of France it gets construed as attacking Islam and helps the extremist recruiters. Every action that is perceived to encroach upon Islam fuels actions that will encourage greater state intervention and resentment of the French public towards their Islamic citizens (regardless of whether they're Islamists or not), yet the state cannot simply turn the other cheek. To do so would be a dereliction of duty to the populous.
It's a vicious Catch 22 to which I see no solution.
They need to stop external funding for mosques and faith schools coming in from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Countries also need to do all they can to discourage America from interfering in the Middle East and North Africa. Obama seems to receive virtually no criticism for creating the refugee crisis. Hopefully Trump will get in again and there won't be any more wars in the region for a while at least.
