Another 'Terrorist attack' in Paris tonight.

[ronk]

Hahaha! Google how many Britons have been killed by terrorism in the last 10 years - I think we'll all be okay

Far too many - some of whom were doing charitable and humanitarian work.
Some of whom were just going about their daily business ie going to work on the bus or tube in London.

Those poor souls thought they'd be ok as well - I'm afraid we live in a sick world when people can do that.

Engaging in dialogue is the way forward.

Here's some dialogue for the scumbags...

Does this apply to the people that are killing the people who kill?

Nope. In fact they should torture them before they kill them.

Already happens - both ways

What do the Islamic state terrorists want? What are their aims, when will they be happy ?
They bombing and killing their own kind.
I am led to believe that they see a one Islamic world back in the dark ages. Polpot style.

Fortunately we live in a generally very tolerant society were most of us don't give a stuff what the next man is black, white, nor what or who his God happens to be !

The bottom line is that you cannot negotiate with unreasonable people !

Yes but Isis also do it to their own people. Amongst many other things it's been reported they crucified children as well as adults for eating during the month of Ramadan.
As I said, scumbags.

Indeed - as is the case with most innocent people killed in these events, home and abroad. All murder is wrong, whether by bomb, blade, gun, or drone.

I think we live in a sad world where we think the answer to killing is to kill. It only serves to perpetuate the violence, and reminds me of the NRA's attitude to gun deaths and school shootings.

In WWI it was reported the Prussian Army ate babies - don't believe everything you read. The power of propaganda in warfare - it helps to win "hearts and minds".

 

[ronk]

What do you see as an answer and how can the whole issue be diffused ?

I find it diffcult to square the equation of taking thousands of refugees from war torn and deprived areas - then being shot at and bombed by their own countryman.

Am I missing something? Or is that also propoganda?

 

[Carol M]

Whether the crucifixion stories are true or not there's still hundreds of photos showing atrocities being carried out. Or are you going to say they are fake photos staged by the west?
A lot of nations are guilty in history of carrying out torture, I'm not suggesting anything different. Maybe the Prussians did eat babies.
They're all scumbags.

Leaving them to their own devices and remain neutral like most other countries are (who coincidentally also haven't been on the receiving end of attacks).

Not wanting to point out the obvious, but yes - not all of the people fleeing their war torn country want to be involved in war. The vast majority do not and are simply looking for a better way of life.

If there are countries that feel the need to be the world police and want to get involved then by all means do. Just don't be selective over which conflicts you will and won't take part in.

And bring people to justice in front of a court. What answers do we have unless they're alive to answer the questions?

What would your suggestion be to solving the issue, out of interest?

I'm not disagreeing with you, as mentioned previously I think ALL warfare is wrong. Believe me when I say that the stuff I see on a daily basis is so horrific and disturbing you hope it is staged. History has taught us that there are always only ever two reasons for conflict - power or resources. There may be an ideological spin added, but this is superficial.

The biggest question I have when concerned with wars that have been started for "religious" purposes, is: has religion saved more lives than it has claimed in the course of humanity?

Answers on a postcard!

Religion saves no lives, it is a tool to control the masses and give hope and comfort to those that believe, that there is a plan and that you will go somewhere better.

Some religions do save lives as it forms the backbone of morals and society. Our society and laws are based on that hence we try and protect the innocent.

We should at least round Isis up and tell them off before letting them go.

Good luck with that
