          My thoughts and prayers are with the French muslim community this morning. As a society, we (the west) must find a way to prevent whatever is driving good young men to actions like this. Whatever intolerance it is, must be rooted out by a sensible government.

            This is becoming a world level issue. Not one country but most of the countries are getting affected by these morons. My prayers to all the families and May God give them the strength to come out of the grief that has struck them.:rose::rose::rose:

              84 confirmed at this moment. It is hard to understand that someone can do this....

                    They are terrorists: the whole idea is to do such terrible things that people will accept anything to make it stop happening. If you can't understand the motivation, that's probably a good thing - it says good things about your character.

                          This is the most ridiculous statement I have seen. Why do you want to do that. Statement like this inflames the situation.

                            That's not right, it would make us just as bad as them. You can't condemn / attack an entire religion / people on the actions of a (relative) few. It's the individuals that misuse the religion to get whatever they want, chaos, money, power, ... It's those individuals we need to find and stop. Every religion has it's radicals, yes at the moment the islam has the worst one's (maybe), but that doesn't mean that every moslim is bad. And

                                      No. Just intolerance of immorality.

                                      There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                                        Maybe they will stop then.

                                        They won't, and it most likely would have the opposite effect, more people would join the terrorist side. And before you ask: I'm an atheist so I don't care about the religion part.

                                        Not that his idea is good, but being morally superior is useless. It's no more than an opinion, it has no real effect on the state of the world. The other side is morally superior too, if you ask them. So where does that leave us? Exitus acta probat.

                                          This is the most ridiculous statement I have seen. Why do you want to do that. Statement like this inflames the situation.

                                          Ridiculous - well not in a necessarily strategic sense. A gorilla type army, particularly one that is highly dispersed, can go on indefinitely. The only way to really end such an insurgency is to attack the homeland to the extent that those sending them do not want any further damage as it is no longer worth the potential gains. Daesh, for all practical purposes, doesn't have a homeland. Furthermore, losses to troops are not a concern (martyrdom and all that), even for the troops. So - without an 'homeland' or troops that can be demoralized, what do you do? Attacks, such as in "everywhere", cannot be stopped directly. You need to hit the demoralizing option by whatever means. So - what shall it be? Remember: The Taliban was planted in Pakistan by the Saudis, financed and raised, Daesh by Qatar, Hezbalah is a 'we didn't do it' proxy for Iraq. On and on. So - what do you suggest we do? What will hurt enough to make them consider stopping? I've had some grizzly proposals of my own, but it's up to you. What is the most moral route (if that's what you wish):  How many lives (of innocent bystanders) are you willing to merely mourn? When do you work on prevention? Your move.
