Well, what are you going to do about it? Maybe you should just start shooting anyone you believe is a muslim. Would that be the corrective action?

Why France? Why not us? Is it because we have an armed America behind every tree and bush...and in movie theaters and cafes? I don't know, I'm just asking.

Or is the next attack still in the works, while they wait for a huge crowd gathering? The malls and shopping centers on Black Friday? Times Square on New Years Eve?

Why not us?
They will attack here again, sooner or later. They said they hit Paris yesterday because they are the most adulterous city and full of vice. Like murder isn't vice, but hey.

But it's expected. That's why you see National Guardsmend in train and bus stations all the time. They aren't just there for decoration.

instead of national guard, in France we have threesomes of "soldiers"(2 men- and 1 women and one member of a minority out of the three-) ambling lazily with empty guns in hotspots. Hardly a deterrent for even a rookie terrorist as we have seen tragically yesterday.

This is a Europe thing mostly because the vast majority of U.S Muslims are wealthy and middle class while in Europe Muslims are at the same social status as what blacks and Latinos are in the U.S. The only non wealthy middle class Muslims are the refugees from places like Somalia and other war torn region. For example I have never met a non-refugee Muslim in america who didn't live in a middle class neighborhood while it was the exact opposite where their was a 40-50% chance that the Muslim I met in the U.K lived in a middle class neighborhood.

No, the problem is they are all "radical" and the bleeding hearts don't want to to believe it. These are not rational people that we can just hug it out with.

There is another poster on here bringing up OKC, funny how far you both have to go back 1995 and 1978 when since that time we have had what hundreds of attacks by Muslims.

I was in London on 9/11 and I'm Irish American. One idiot over there who had to defend Islam said well maybe the IRA did it.....LOL. The IRA by 2001 was pretty much non existent. And when has the IRA ever attacked the US.

I said "well it's not the IRA, because even the IRA isn't stupid enough to kill themselves along with their targets, there is only one group who does suicide missions".....
Oklahoma City was more politically motivated than anything else. McVeigh was an anti-government nut who was pissed about Ruby Ridge. Jonestown and Koresh were both cults who were really only threats to their own membership.

There is no comparison. I wish people would just stop trying to make these false equivalencies.

When those fail to convince anyone, we hear about the Crusades, colonialism and Islamaphobia being the problem. Nope.

More ignorance. The wealthy ones are the ones funding the terrorists.

Well, that's the reason why I didn't mention OKC because it rather points to what I've been saying. Sure, it was partially in response to Waco but their cause was not about religion but about being anti government.

One has to be able to divide the motivational reasons and not just assume it is this or that. At best, that is wasteful of effort.

As far as Jonestown and Koresh, it was in response to his question.
