    Jesus Harold....I need to get these people out of my house and sit down at a proper keyboard to reply to some of these one sided views of history and culture. Unreal.

    I'm behind on this story but.. what's this I read about Helric fredoun? Chief investigator committed suicide last night with his service weapon? Can't find any mention on any mainstream sites. Don't know if I have his title right.

    When a terrorist act occurs, there is an overwhelming desire here to put blame on something. I think we are over complicating this. The blame lies on the murdering bastards that pulled the triggers. It's not society's fault, it's not America's or Frances fault, nor is it the middle easts fault.

    These guys are terrorists. Plain and simple. No amount of negotiations will ever change that. There will always be people that hate the west. The blame lies solely on them.

    You guys, the police commissioner was found dead of an APPARENT suicide. You guys don't find that odd. And oddly enough, the article states that in nov 2013 he himself found another police chief or someone like that dead of an APPARENT suicide. Very strange...

    Damn,WTF! Surprisingly little news on the web about this. The headline at this site:

    http://www.medhajnews.com/article.php?id=NTM0MA==

    suggests it might be a murder but why no news about this on major sources?

    Right brian? And with ALL the news coverage in France, you'd think this would be "BREAKING BEWS!!!" But not surprisingly, crickets on this matter. Strange, very very strange

    Why is the headline "Another Mossad victim?" What evidence is there - or even indication - that Israel had anything to do with this police man's death?

    Maybe this is a little of topic but amnesty recently showed a report about some countries on the "bad list" not taking responsibility for refuges in the world.
    I think it was interesting to read about countries very rich in oil with the same language religion and everything (Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Bahrain, Kuwait among others Not taking in a single refuge Into their countries.
    These countries are even fairly close to Syria where many refuges comes from right now. I find this disturbing actually.

    Peace

    What I find really bizarre is that Qatar bought $12-15 BILLION of military equipment from the US last year. For those of you who don't know, supposedly Qatar funds Hamas. Now isn't that a conflict of interest?

    What I find bizarre is that the US taxpayers (myself included) shell out 4 billion a year in "aid" to Israel while OUR bridges and roads are crumbling. Stop using my money to build illegal settlements in a desert and use it to repair OUR infrastructure.

    At least Qatar is paying and not sitting around with their hands out.

    Rssesq, unfortunately that number is actually WRONG. By the end with all the loans with no payback needed and all the other bullshit money hidden around we give them, it totals somewhere in the 9-12 billion. That means we give Israel 9-12 billion dollars a year without them having to pay us back. Countries don't even make that and we give it away. And someone actually made a statement about how we give Palestine $400 MILLION. That's $400 MILLION to 9-12 BILLION. Some difference ey? Who's done more harm to our country between the 2? Think about it.

    And so it begins. This is fucken disgusting. Thanks for bringing this to my attention cate:

    http://mobile.todayszaman.com/latest-news_pregnant-muslim-woman-attacked-in-paris-loses-baby_318574.html

    Despite all medical efforts, a pregnant Muslim woman who was attacked by two Islamophobic men in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil on Thursday suffered a miscarriage and lost her baby, her lawyer said on Tuesday.
    The 21-year-old Muslim woman, who was four months pregnant, was physically attacked by two men. The attackers first tried taking her headscarf off and later cut off her hair and tore part of her clothing. After she screamed out that she was pregnant, one of the attackers started kicking her in the stomach.
    She was taken to Argenteuil hospital where she underwent treatment for injuries.
    Daily Mail reported that the police said that the men had shouted racist insults at the woman, saying that the veil was no longer acceptable in France.
    “Her husband called me this this afternoon. She lost the baby,” the lawyer told AFP news agency. He added that the family were devastated by the tragedy and would not be making any further comment.
    French police officer involved in the investigation confirmed to AFP that she lost her baby.
    The prosecutor for Pointoise, Yves Jannier, also said the woman had been kicked in the hip before she managed to flee.
    In a related incident, another Muslim woman wearing a headscarf was also attacked three weeks ago in the same region of Paris.

    A massive terrorist attack by Boko Haram in the city of Baga in northeastern Nigeria. 1500-2000 people killed, may be more but on the European news of 13.00 PM there was only information about Paris. The conclusion that can be drawn from this is simple. When you are poor, you are not worth much if you are poor and black then you're worth nothing. And this is not the first time that The news and all other media ignore major accidents and slaughters in Africa. The cause of the attack in Paris is the instability of too many countries. Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Ukraine and all the Sahara countries. An instability that we, the West have largely allowed and sometimes even caused in our endless greed. The result will be more terror attacks. It is impossible to verify. If the cracks get bigger, there will be more and more and bigger fish swim through. The only way to reverse this is a structural reform of capitalism. When we begin today terrorism will expand still for another 8 years, then it will stabilize for five years and then the decrease begins because the soil and reason disappears. I do not see this happening. I expect exactly the opposite, people will feel threatened and are simply not able to oversee the entire situation and are only able to think short-term. The result will be more support for right wing people. When those people get more influence then they already have the soil and reason will be bigger, the result will be more terror attacks. And more terror means more right wing people etc. etc. The end will be, cameras everywhere, the army and police everywhere and still no safety.
