Awful news, and apparently simply because they ran an article/tweeted taking the piss out of the IS "leader".... the so called "peaceful religion" once again showing how it has been hijacked by extremism ...

Sad day all round ....  :(

RIP Charlie Hebdo.

Many newspapers are pixelating the front covers for fear of retribution, so the best way to honour his bravery and our freedom of speech is by showing them in full.

Not us! What happened was they fired 16 mortars at us and wounded some locals. Luckily nobody was killed. Another group tracked them down and killed them. Five in all. I still have shrapnel from the mortars sitting on my tv in Spain.
I sent messages pre 911 from Africa to the UK press warning them that there was an imminent attack to either the UK or the US. Nobody listened.
Everybody MUST be aware of their surroundings in this country from now on.

Basically.... He is the major of Rotterdam. Himself of Moroccan descent, a Muslim, and mayor of a city with a large immigrant population. He strongly rejects the attacks on Charlie Hebdo. He says on national TV that jihadists who reject the values of the society in which they live, should "piss off" and leave the country. It is good to see such leadership. We need more of that now and less political correctness.

What is the solution? Clearly crusades/shooting people/ousting regimes and trying to force democracy don't work...

If the Christian church were stronger/more forward thinking then perhaps Islam wouldn't be the fastest growing religion amongst western populations.

Perhaps all religion could be outlawed? Or perhaps all faiths combined to form a global, all encompassing church :-\

The problem is the human condition.. so there is no solution; not until we accidentally erase ourselves as a species, anyway (it's only a matter of time, surely!)


Apparently the events in Paris have already been reason enough for tougher security checks at some airports (certainly in Spain as someone returning from there found, yesterday) and calls in some countries for de-facto monitoring of all communications and the introduction of a "Patriot Act" style thing..

You have that half right about the Christian church: it is already forward thinking, but weak. I know that is a risky generalisation, but I have another - Islam's moral certainty and inability to compromise is its strength and a large part of its appeal.

There isn't a reliable, effective answer to this, let alone a palatable one. The American approach of Patriot Act and Homeland Security is more for political effect than actual use.

That was then, this is now  :(
No point the world getting into a pissing competition over who's religion was the biggest idiot hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Imo, its called evolution and attitudes have changed as we evolve.

Running around with a AK47 wasting anybody who you think may disagree with you or sending a young child complete with explosive vest into a group of people stood minding there own business and blowing them all to atoms is not justified in any religion regardless of what went on years ago.
To that, you can add grooming non Muslim minors for sex or female genital mutilation to the pot.

We already know what they know; they hate us and are prepared to die to do something about it. They might be hatefilled, vicious, violent, religious extremists, but the people that run this sort of thing aren't stupid or incompetent. They have an endless supply of 'soldiers', and the things they do aren't like putting a man on the moon. So the chances of the foot soldiers knowing anything that could trace further up the chain are non-existent. You don't stop this sort of thing with enormous government bureaucracies filtered through the military and further buggered up by politicians. That sort of thing leads to even worse consequences than we are looking at here.

The only realistic, effective thing to do is to prove to these maniacs that they are wrong whenever they pop their heads up.

And no, I don't like what that implies either

Then everyone has to be intolerant. And as Nick W says, I think that's an equally dangerous line to go down.


Any form of religious extremism is going to be dangerous. Most historical commentators agree that religion is a way to control the masses, and is about power (of those at the top). By faith's nature, the foot soldiers will do as their leaders say, knowing the next life promises more, whether that be a line of virgins, "Heaven", whatever.

We must not forget that the vast, vast majority of people gifted with a faith are decent, law abiding, caring people.

I don't think those sentiments would have helped Lee Rigby, he didn't know anything was amiss until they turned him in to a bonnet mascot before chopping his head off.

Then everyone has to be intolerant. And as Nick W says, I think that's an equally dangerous line to go down.

Any form of religious extremism is going to be dangerous. Most historical commentators agree that religion is a way to control the masses, and is about power (of those at the top). By faith's nature, the foot soldiers will do as their leaders say, knowing the next life promises more, whether that be a line of virgins, "Heaven", whatever.

We must not forget that the vast, vast majority of people gifted with a faith are decent, law abiding, caring people.

Has anyone bothered to tell the extremist loons that the virgins are all boys?
That's what they're hoping for.

I always thought they were generally "straight", it's the Catholic church and MP's that like to bat for the same team.

Arabs? Straight? Yeah, because their religion says they should be. They don't like a drink either.....
