Go back to whatever country you came from and take all your mosque with you.

Do you think there is fundamentally any difference between the thinking of:

"If I don't get my way about Islam, I'm going to become violent!"

And

"If I don't get my way about the 2nd Amendment, I'm going to become violent!"

Both hold an intransigent stance that leads to violence.

It's not any one issue in particular that causes violent terrorism or outrage. It's this intransigent code in regards to what a person feels makes them powerful, when applied to any issue, that says "They're taking away my power! I'm not going to allow that to happen!"
"It isn't all muslims, but it's always a muslim"

France is becoming the new Israel. At 10 percent muslim, they will suffer repeated attacks against western ideals, and Jews.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube promising and discussing violent resistance if the government were to make the "wrong" changes to gun law. Go search for yourself.

Seems the connection is the jihadist military training camp they went to in Yemen is what I just read somewhere.
Hasn't been verified though.

Who is "we"? Maybe you can expand that silly statement and dig yourself a little deeper.

Sprinkler their bodies with water used to wash down pigs?

What I don't get is how stupid did Europeans have to be to allow any Muslims into Europe in the first place? What possible good did they think could come from this?

So far ....

3 locations with shootings (not counting the printing company hostage situation)
15 people dead - multiple hostages in multiple locations

They are claiming they are affiliated with Yemen al-quaeda - ISIS is claiming responsibility for the operation now.
There have been reports that ISIS is now coordinating with Yemen al-quaeda (also known as AQAP)
AQAP is the most dangerous of all the AQ groups to the West.

It's a little over 48 hours since this began - local time in France is 3pm.

Islamic and Terrorism, war, conflict, hatred, killing go all the back to the origins of Islam. They organized attacks on other towns in the Mosque. The organized these in an effort to "convert" them to Islam. Forcing people to convert to Islam or die has been a tactic of theirs from the very beginning. Study some history.
