Wrong. That's the core of it.

Wrong. Power is at the core. People committing these acts are fringe extremist who have a thirst for power/and or attention.

There are billions of Muslims who practice in peace. Ask yourself, why are they not exhibiting the same bloodlust?

It's true, religious beliefs may drive intent, but the motive is usually grounded in something more tangible and readily attainable than what the religion has to offer - power, money, reputation, etc.

Interesting perspective: I don't get what closing the borders does. Terrorists in France were already in France. Not the same for other countries too?

So they can't escape. It's easier to find them in France than in foreign-countries.

Good ****ing God. For those blaming religion, do you really think this is the time? Do you really think the billions of muslims in this world don't hate this just as much as we do? Everyone is very well aware that extremism is bad. What are you trying to achieve exactly? Do you want to abolish religion? That's not going to happen. So shut the **** up and do something more useful like thinking of solutions and spreading awareness on possible precautious measures.

Close borders to people coming in from Syria and Iraq. In fact, if I were France, I would consider trying to renegotiate its membership within the European Union.

The leading hypothesis is homegrown terrorism thus far

why? 99% of all terrorist attacks are done in the name of Allah. I've never encountered a Mormon terrorist, and except for the pope i dont know christian terrorists either. christians gave up that kind of behaviour some hundred years ago.

Nope. Only 6% of terrorist attacks in the US between 1980 and 2006 were done by muslims.

In the EU, 98% of terrorist attacks are not religiously motivated

you cannot abolish religion but you can make it irrelevant and put the law above it and everyone who has a problem with that should be sent back to wherever they came from.

I mean how many revolutions and war had (Western-) Europe to endure and to survive for the laws we have today and then there are some people who think Sharia or whatevs it's called is superior? Take several seats.. religion is like a hobby - at least here in Europe.. you can practice it all you want, but do not interfere with the law and people who are religious should leave everyone alone who do not wish to be bothered.

Allegedly the man who was poating on Facebook during the hostage crisis is alive.

A small light of positivity.

CNN: There are still gunmen on the streets, unclear how many. People need to stay on their houses.

Jesus, praying they catch the other ones and this is the end of this tragedy.

True, but it is, admittedly, easy to simply send Isis operatives in with refugees from Isis-dominated countries rather than attempt to contact and convert people in a different one. Also, as I asked earlier in the thread, aren't most of these refugees males from 20-30 something? Like... statistically speaking.... those AREN'T the usual refugees countries get (as said, I could be wrong, that's just what I heard)

I don't think anyone believes there's some kind of Isis factory though

They themselves said they were going to do exactly that.

Canada stands with France at this dark time and offers all possible assistance. We will continue to work closely with the international community to help prevent these terrible, senseless acts. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of France and we mourn their loss

i was more referring to throwing bombs at people and at public places and not sth like cyber terrorism which is included in that chart.

Good point on Paris Would count 9/11 as lightning striking once, part of the same attack

[Patri]

You should all read The Rage and the Pride and open your eyes. That book was written two weeks after 9/11 and it reads like a prophecy unfolding before us in 2015.
