Classic Obama, ironically offering his "thoughts and prayers" to the french people, as if that's not what's responsible for this incident and most of the world's problems. Stay classy, Mr president.

Is this a translation problem or hating Obama thing or a courtesy thing or just really hating religion thing?
Saying thoughts and prayers is expected, its a kind thing to say. What you said sounds so odd to me.
 
By the way, the point of many of these attacks is to make westerners hate and fear muslims living in their midst, to create divisions. It is incredibly effective in that objective. Do it enough times in enough places and eventually animosity against Muslims will rise to the point that the majority of Westerners will turn on them.
 
Thought the news said the guns and grenades found were fake? At least the report on CNN said as much.

I'm pretty sure he had a pistol at minimum. I saw interviews with people who said they saw him shooting a pistol. I know times of emergency can change what we see but it doesn't sound unreasonable.
Not sure about the grenades.

France must "learn to live with terrorism", the country's prime minister has said

France is at war with terrorism and has to learn to live with terrorism. Someone probably should have told the PM that you shouldn't declare war on a thing and surrender to it in the same breath.

I wonder if there's going to be a free terrorism zone or if they're going to hold a lottery to be chosen as terror victims. What does Libertie. Equalitie. Fraternatie. even mean under this paradigm?
 
Are you really mad because he said prayers? 😱

The barbarians never take a city until someone opens the door for them. And who's opening the doors? The other religious...

I already pointed out how France is one of the most secular countries in the world.

It's an embarrassment that Obama appears to be genuinely religious, as the leader of the only country in the world with a secular constitution, which forbids any state involvement in religion.

Why is he offering prayers to a mostly secular country, as the leader of an expressly secular country? Obviously it's upsetting. And I live right next door to france.
 
Police office kills a black person:
It is racist to support police officers and perfectly understandable & okay to hate, fear, and reject police officers everywhere.

Muslim kills a westerner:
It is racist/bigoted to hate, fear, and reject Muslims, we must continue to embrace and appreciate Muslims throughout the world.


Please note, I am not making any personal statements as to how I view others, I am just pointing out a gigantic hypocrisy currently on display.

Uh ok.........you are just digging for something to feel butt hurt about.

Digging? Please, you can't open a newspaper without seeing another example of religious encroachment on free society. Posting such drivel in (yet another) thread about a (likely) religious inspired attack is beyond dumb.
 
Can that article be trusted?

A cursory look at that site does leave open, for me, the possibility that it can't be. It has a rather extreme right wing slant to every single article it features, and one might at least wonder how such a small site came to be in exclusive possession of such info. Not to mention there is zero backing documentation.

However, none of the above proves anything. <shrug>

M. T. P. Ils se sont fait exploser. Il y a eu des personnes décapitées, égorgées, éviscérées. Il y a eu des mimiques d’actes sexuels sur des femmes et des coups de couteau au niveau des appareils génitaux. Si je ne me trompe pas, les yeux de certaines personnes ont été arrachés.

Google Translated

If the article can't be, I would assume that the National Assembly of France could be.
