Explosions and Multiple Shootings In Paris, Possible Hostages (cnn.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Multiple sources are reporting that at least 18 people are dead across three shootings in central Paris. The Associated Press reports as many as 26, as of this writing. Some victims were at a restaurant, while others were at a nearby theater. Early reports indicate there may be a hostage situation with more people at that theater. Police have also confirmed an explosion at a bar near Stade de France stadium, where a football match was underway between France and Germany. There are reports of other explosions heard at the stadium as well, but no details yet. "The attack comes as France has heightened security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and potential terrorist attacks." The attacks occurred not far from where the Charlie Hebdo shooting happened in January. "French news media reported that Kalashnikov rifles had been involved in the shootings — a favored weapon of militants who have attacked targets in France — and that many rounds had been fired."
Incite the white french to attack muslims, thereby making french muslims open to radicalisation which is what the idiots in the M.E. want.
Of course, whites will target muslims to get the muslims angry so that they attack, starting a race war too.
Both sides have the arseholes that want a war, because they think they are "right" and the other "wrong" and therefore they will INEVITABLY win the conflict.
When they can't, they then drag in other groups as "instigators" and "aiding and abetting" the terrorists of the other side, because, like I said, they KNOW they are in the right, therefore if they aren't winning, SOMEONE must be preventing it.
As the person who wrote it, I can guarantee there was not a shred of levity in it. Where I come from, "keep your head down" is synonymous with "stay safe" -- something I fervently hope any hostages are able to do. Since some people are apparently able to misinterpret that, I changed it.
I don't know if you're a troll or not, but you are going out of your way to pick a fight on the internet and projecting some serious ill intentions on somebody you don't know.
So what? Jesus never invalidated the old one, so it's still valid. And you may have notice that the hardcore bible thumpers usually love reciting that old crap.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Ah, anonymous coward, we meet again. Those migrants are in safe camps in Turkey, but they choose to risk life and limb in order to move to a rich country (their own words). Saw a bunch of them in my hometown yesterday, angrily protesting because the rooms in their emergency housing don't have tvs. And they don't like the local cheese and butter.
The Parisien victims did not choose to risk life and limb when they went to a restaurant, or to Bataclan to see a hardrock band. 100 hostages, 40 dead, and counting. But I guess you think they deserve it.. because they're white, right? You sound like a fucking campus totalitarian. Why don't you log in and at least show us your nick, you despicable coward.
You forgot to supply the productive part.
Fine.
Beirut Embassy Bombings - Got the US soldiers from the UNF out of Lebanon.
El Salvador guerrillas - they got significant power in the government. The current president of the country was a guerrilla commander
Maoist fighters in Nepal - King was stripped of political rights, and the maoists got power in government.
You could have easily looked these up, don't be lazy.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
I have family in Paris; what has happened (and appears to be ongoing) is indeed an outrage.
Just as what is going on in Syria (and Ukraine) is an outrage.
There is a reason why desperate people risk their lives, and those of their children, and are drowning in their hundreds.
It's because what is happening in their "major cities" in many, many times worse than what's happening in Paris.
People forget that Syria was once a French colony. The Syrians have not forgotten that.
Bzzzt! You are wrong.
Syria was mainly a Turkish territory up until the end of WWI, when it became a protectorate of the French III Republic, along with Lebanon. It became independent in 1946.
Most Syrians actually do not resent the French that much. These acts of terrorism have nothing to do with that period of the history of Syria, but more with the war between the Syrian government and Islamic State.

Well, listening to CNN right now . . . I heard the story of a guy who dragged out a bloodied teenage girl out of the concert . . . is this what Islam is all about!? Any Muslims are encouraged to answer!
You are a complete idiot. STFU.
Seriously, just STFU. And go and read about Ahmed Merabet. That guy was a courageous Frenchman.
Oh wait, you are probably too stupid to read anything that's not on Fox News. My Bad, Carry on being an idiot.

Those terrorists do not represent all Muslims in the world. Just as Breivik does not represent all Christians in the world. You asked me to show you where Muslims condemned ISIS actions and I did; or didn't you read the linked article. There are also many Muslims fighting ISIS right now.
Sorry if the facts don't coincide with your world view.
Couple of other things you didn't mention:
1. Muslims are simply going to force the "natives" to become the minority via population control.
With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European nations
2. The silent majority ARE the problem.
3. Major US News Station are also part of the problem, such as Faux News. i.e. CNNi put together an award winning one-hour documentary on the use of internet technologies and social media by democracy activists in Bahrain and then refused to show it on CNNi. (CNNi "officially" give the excuse it was only "commissioned for CNN US")
Running out of legitimate target?
Has Jesus Christ now become the latest target of your liberal SJW attack?
Well no.
You said Christianity was better because it didn't portray killing as honourable.
DogDude pointed out that there's lots of killing in the bible.
You moved the goalposts and said the New Testament didn't killing as honourable.
Opportunist pointed out that Jesus never invalidated the Old Testament, so DogDude's point is still valid.
You then responded with a bizarre claim that he was criticizing Jesus and an even more bizarre side rant about a "liberal SJW".
I stole this Sig
For all of the numbskulls that think all "religions" (a nebulous term that can mean wildly different things to different people, but I digress) are to blame when specifically Muslim terrorists commit acts of violence against innocents, using the Crusades as supporting evidence. I would like to point out that the Crusades were not called because Christians wanted to conquer the world and have a monopoly on control of religious sites. Far from it--Christian pilgrims in Europe and the Middle East were being butchered by the Islamist conquerors. Yes, many crusaders committed evil acts. Yes, even an entire crusade (the fourth) went wary, when the leader took the many and ran with it to attack a fellow Christian city for spoils. But none of this is evidence that Christianity is inherently violent or terroristic; all it shows is that Christendom found a common ground (i..e their shared faith) to join forces and protect themselves from ruthless invaders (the Abbasid Caliphate) that mistreated their own in the lands they attacked.
tl;dr the Crusades have just about nothing to do with ISIS and are totally incomparable.
