Did France deserve what it happens? Is this just the beginning?

Nov 23, 2015 16:16

After watching this movie produced by BBC and Shaista Aziz "A nation divided? A Charlie Hebdo aftermath", the first thing that came into my mind, was that France is not what you know from the social media and movies. Unfortunately not. France is a country strongly divided into one biggest french speaking, born in France and looking french group and ( Read more... )

I hear ya crystal clear. Those other guys 'look scary' to ya.

Everyone knows why we need colonies, so I think it is useless to explain in my article.

Oh why, do tell. I'm sure this would be a fascinating story to hear.

As has already been argued here recently, terrorism cannot be defeated and removed unless the core reasons for radicalisation are addressed in a meaningful way. Otherwise we would only be dealing with the symptoms of a much deeper problem.

Just a minor nitpick. I do not recall The Sudan every being a French colony. But like I said, it is a minor matter.

Technically, parts of it were French for 3 years. Before the Fashoda Incident happened, that is.

Fair enough. The minor point still stays. =)

The Quran must be revised in order to keep people safe

This reminds me of a relatively recent move by Gen. Sisi (sic?) in Egypt who summoned the religious leaders of the Islamic world, and lectured them about the necessity of modernizing Islam.

A military junta dictator lectures clerics about reforming themselves. The irony here is staggering.

We have seen such behavior in France, which can accept the homosexuals to adopt children (Which is very awful)

You know, the question is at the tip of my tongue... fingers... but on second thoughts, I wouldn't even begin to go there.

Could you recall one terrorist attack made by Christian suicide bomber in the last decades? I really couldn’t find any information.

Like you said in the neighboring post, Google is your friend.

Oh, Christians using their beliefs as a pretext for slaughtering other people? That's un-possible!

That's ten of the worst?

One through nine (Up until McVeigh, who wasn't a Christian, but other than that being the entire point, not a big deal) - the body count is 11 - and from those, seems like 4 were influenced by a prominent christian figure (using the word prominent loosely).

Christians can be hateful, annoying, and violent - no one is disputing that - but it's hard to compare the two at this point.

I will just reiterate what I said yesterday. Any attempt to find a religious and a military solution to a social problem is doomed to fail.
