Paris Attack

I was maintaining a detached mind about this situation for days now. It's a messy and muddled situation for sure.

However, with today's news that Isis released a video that suggests that a child was used to assassinate 2 (Russian?) hostages, any sympathy for these terrorists has evaporated. This is in no way understandable, no matter how you choose to define it.

Their fanaticism has corrupted their humanity.

And somehow, some apparently think the CIA is at the root of this.

That, would be absurd. These terrorists have no sense of right and wrong.
 
Isis is special.. dont forget .... too extreme even for alqaeda...

Isisism is attracting psychopaths from all over the world.

I have an understanding about why they may feel compelled to attack those who they feel attack them. But it's important to know that the way I define "understand" has nothing to do with condone, excuse, or accept.

The world isn't black and white. There're a lot of grays. The Middle East is complicated.
Thank you....+100

You explained it so much better than I did..

And your points here are why most Westerners thing the extremists are stupid.

Their quarrel is with those responsible and in charge of foreign policy and the allocation of military resources. For all intents and purposes the average citizen plays no role in any of that and yet certain people hold the citizens equally responsible for the actions of their government. Shahfaisal has made it clear in the past that he believes the average working man that couldn't care less about Afghanistan is every bit as responsible for any military action as the people who actually give the orders.

If someone breaks into your house you don't go to a nearby preschool and beat up little kids as retaliation. I don't "understand" someone who would because those are the actions of a disgusting coward.

Trying to convince me that my government is doing wrong is one thing. Shouting in my face that I am equally responsible for decisions I played no part in is pretty fuckin dumb.

Canada is truly the land of immigrants....i love how i can go to Toronto and visit areas representing all the ethnicities...i especially like the food.. always fun to try new dishes from different areas

It just warms a Canadians heart to see a little pod of them cruising around flying the flag of some terrorist group from "back home"js
 
Idiots reselling Charlie Hebdo on Ebay trying to make a quick buck makes me a little mad. Looks like a lot of joke bids though. Any chain outlet in Canada selling copies?
 
Question.... and I will say that I haven't seen every piece of news about the paris attacks so I may have missed it, but... Who was filming from the roof tops? And, why haven't we heard anything from them? We've heard from the grocery store worker, heard from the woman that the shooters followed into the building... Yet, haven't seen or heard anything about the people filming from the roof tops... Or maybe we did, and I missed it!?

I saw interviews on CNN right after it happened so they did interview the people shooting video. Most people have their cell phones out these days so its no surprise it gets caught on camera.
 
I'll tell you what's offensive-religious wackjobs.

Al-Qaeda"Congratulations to you, the Nation of Islam, for this revenge that has soothed our pain," "Congratulations to you for these brave men who blew off the dust of disgrace and lit the torch of glory in the darkness of defeat and agony."

Armed gunmen firing at people doing their job. Taking unarmed civilians hostage. Forcing police to respond. That's offensive.
 

Did you listen to the stuff Fred Phelps was spouting to his followers? If followers of that Cleric want to believe that so be it. Its as ridiculous as not being able to eat pork or not using birth control. Religious leaders are full of stupidity its not isolated to just one faith.
