Terror in Paris: Soldier fires at man attacking with machete, Louvre on lockdown!

[Mad_Murdock]

Well said. The vast majority of people claiming to follow the teachings of Christ are rank hypocrites.

Vast majority you say? Got a link to that statistical data?

I have about as much empirical data and evidence for my statement as Christianity has for the existence of God.

Homosexual transsexual Muslim feminist Islamist you mean.

Just a question why do you put muslims and LGBT groups Together?

[Seradi]

So, crazy person with a knife attacks a soldier and gets shot.

[Tomyris]

Sort of funny Trump tweeted this out as justification for his MuslimBan but forgot to mention the guy was from Egypt a country not on the list and mysteriously where he has business dealings.

Not to mention that he ignored the Quebec attack. I can't believe I was actually neutral towards his win, this guy is a joke.

[Deleted]

I saw people getting infractions for jokes and mockery during the Canada attack thread.

But here it must be ok because ...a soldier was the target?

No, it just takes time for them to react to reports. So just report and keep moving.

He was joking.

"Reports that the attacker yelled 'Allah Akbar' while charging with machete in hand"



...."Motives are unclear at this moment, we really don't know what drove this man to do such a thing." - CNN, probably

[PACOX]

They even said that the guy in Quebec said Allahu Akbar before shooting i wonder how much trustworthy the media is nowadays.

Allahu Akbar isn't just some terrorists mating call. They sure did a good job of making people think so though. Or one could say the media is in part responsible with the way they report the stories.

[Deleted]

I bet they are struggling so much to identify his motive. You know, like if there isn't a common denominator between all people involved in terrorism at all.

THeyre either muslim or right-wingers.

Oh come on, someone shouting that as they run in with a weapon trying to kill someone is pretty much pinning their colours to the mast.

Yeah Allahu Akbar is basically equivalent to saying "Oh my God".

Which is probably why there was a lot of confusion about the witness in the Quebec City mosque shooting saying it.

No, it literally means 'Allah is Great'. Stop spreading bullshit.

I said it's usage is equivalent. I didn't say it's a direct translation.

Try watching war footage from the middleast where they kill poeple or being killed themselves, you can literally not find one where they dont scream that for 10min straight, how does screaming oh my god while butchering people make sense? no im pretty sure it's God is great or Allah is Greater.

It's like their version of a battle cry.

Ok so, Europe is becoming a dangerous place to live.

don't let fear get the better of you, be rational. Dying from a terrorist attack is highly unlikely, a rare occurence. You litterally have more chance to get hit by a lightning than being a terror attack fatality.

2016 europe terror attack fatality, no more than 2-300 (can't find the exact number). europe population, 900ish millions, so terror death in europe are around 1/4,000,000.
odd getting hit by lightning are 1/1,042,000 in the US (http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/odds.shtml)

I lived in europe almost all my life, going to nightclub, to the pub, to the theater, i have never had any safety problem, got my bike stolen once, and car radio stolen once (i left the door unlocked).

I lived in los angeles for 6 years, i have been mugged once, my house got burglarized once, my car been broke into twice (2 car stero gone, 2 side windows to replace, and once an ignition cylinder jammed), my bike was stolen once.

I think the point that was being made got past you. These stories like to pretend that anytime someone says Allahu Akbar, some horrific shit is about to go down. In turn the public has been conditioned to fear a phrase that heavily relies on context to carry any particular meaning. Its shitty textbook sensationalism that plays on paranoia to get hits.

And of course if someone is yelling Allahu Akbar with a weapon in hand, GTFO of there.

Set, Game, Match.

Rational post trumps shitposting sensationalist baits.

Its commonly used how English speakers use "Oh my God" or some other religious based idiom.

[Allatar]

And that's the point I was trying to make. Like it or not, they have made that their battle cry and when every single person who commits an atrocity in the name of Allah shouts that before they do it, they can expect some association.

Th
I think I'm more tired of reporters saying stuff like "And he said Allahu Akbar before blowing himself up". No shit, thats what they do because they know its going scare the shit out of people. That little piece of information adds nothing to the story but give notoriety to the perpetrator. Its like reporters who feel the need to say the perpetrators name but doesn't doesn't mention any of the victims. Fuck the perpetrator, they don't deserve any sort of notoriety, hell let them remain unnamed and quickly forgotten if possible.
