French Attacks Megathread

[Olerand]

True. The far-right in France is notorious for its use of suicide bombers.

Wait. Until. We. Know.

Quash the attack and then ask questions.

I never stated anything; I am merely saying that the far-right in France is notorious for suicide bombing, wouldn't you agree?

*shudders*

Worst of this is that:
• Geert Wilders (wants to deport all Muslims (even if they are fully integrated and loyal to NL, wants to go out of the euro)
• Viktor Órban (wanted to impose a hefty internet tax and such, built a fence),
• Le Pen (antisemitist, anti-islamist)
• UKIP/BNP (wants to go out of the EU, discriminatory)
• and even more (excuse me, other co-Europeans, if I haven't mentioned your far-right politicians)

all would gain seats due to this... In our country, Wilders would already have 36 seats - he would be the biggest party.

I really hate this. When far-right or far-left parties are taking over my country, I'm going in the resistance. And I mean that. I want to live in a free country, not an oppressed 'democratic reich-republic' country or such.

Excusez-moi... My emotions are too heated up. I'm going away briefly.

UKIP and the BNP are entirely seperate parties, UKIP is literally just your standard right-wing party militantly opposed to the E.U. Race and Culture are not major parts of their agenda and they certainly are not racist.

[Ifreann]

I listened it to it. I don't hear it.

Never before has the far-right in France committed anything like this. And it's not the far-left. So I can rather strongly conclude, as Barack Obama and François Hollande have, that this is the IS.

Nothing ever happened before the first time it happened.

[BalkanWarrior]

Goodbye liberal, leftist Europe. It was nice knowing you.

Here comes the National Front.

National Front is more acceptable and better than Muslim.immigration.

[The Celtic British Isles]

don't know what the terrorists are angry about
don't know if the terrorists are muslims (but some signs do point to them being muslims)

"Some signs"
Yeah man. They're shouting allah ackbar so don't jump to conclusions it could be hindus or christians!!!

have they been shouting that? i had trouble hearing allah ackbar in the video.

[Mike from Progressive]

To clarify, America hasn't banned the burqa or the construction of minarets. Europe already did. Before you bash America, might want to know what the fuck is going on in the world, bro.

No but America is clearly the biggest country against Muslims and the most militant too. And its fueled by far right politics. If Europe becomes more like America its a tragedy.

I don't really see that at all. Hollande has acted aggressive militarily. France and Switzerland both enacted laws aimed at culturally and religiously limiting Muslims. Tbh Muslims are better off in the US. We're use to brown people. Europe -not so much.

Lets not forget we have a major climate conference about to begin in Paris.

"The target of the terrorist attack in Paris was none other than Islam, the attack was to show it in a bad light".

Classy and tactful as ever.

[Ostroeuropa]

It will. Because of the problems I outlined.
We'll have SJWs all over the news whining and victim blaming and holding blatant double standards representing the left wing and no-platforming leftists who disagree with their nonsense.
Fine.
You won't give us a platform, we'll fuck off to the right wing and join them instead. They'll certainly give us a platform to say that Leftist authoritarian racism and sexism is so extreme that fucking communists are joining the conservatives.

people are being massacre but oh no SJWs

I'm predicting the inevitable consequences of this.

The right wing will be strengthened. Interventionist sentiment will be strengthened. Cultural relativism and multiculturalism will be weakened.
The left wing will continue to alienate people and fracture.
We will intervene in ISIS.
The overton window will shift to "Just ISIS" and "No, we need to sort out the entire middle east somehow, tis fucked." with isolationists being ridiculed.

[Eastern Equestria]

Holy shit. How horrible for Parisians, and the French as a whole.

[Novus America]

The firearms definitely are. But I don't believe the gunmen would have gone to the extreme risk of robbing an armoury, they could have simply acquired the weapons cheaply and safely from across the sea from North Africa or from Eastern Europe.

Agreed, weapons smuggling from the former Yugoslavia is increasingly common

If this is a known problem, what is being done?

[Slovenya]

By what are muslims this time offended?

Everything usually.

what? says who? I'm not offended by most things and I'm Muslim. So check your facts on that

[Really Small Elephants]

Lets not forget we have a major climate conference about to begin in Paris.

Yeah, no way that's gonna happen now.

Essentially, yes.

Unconfirmed Reports of more Attacks on landmarks such as the Louvre and Le Pompidou

Huh. Is this honestly happening? If something this fucking humongous slipped through the cracks. I mean. Honest to God, this would send me back to church.

[Valystria]

Though this will strengthen the right.

Maybe. Hopefully not.

It will.

The leftists don't want to find a common ground with the rightists on immigration. That strengthens the right.

[Jochistan]

Here comes the National Front.

National Front is more acceptable and better than Muslim.immigration.

If you want to be gassed that is. They're no better than the Salafis.

[The Hobbesian Metaphysician]

Yes because the first thing France needs is good old fashioned bigotry especially from the 1930s.

Terrorists taking hostages inside the Paris Catacombes

[Outer Sparta]

Holy shit. How horrible for Parisians, and the French as a whole.

Don't forget, a year ago Charlie Hebdo was attacked.

[Havenburgh]

What matters more, winning elections to stay in power or keeping your damn country safe and stopping more people from dying? I would say the latter

After the response, or well non-response really, but media-heavy marches, that followed Charlie Hebdo; I am confident this government cares more about the first option.

What corrupt government wouldn't? They only care for themselves and staying in power. Sadly

The French secret services. What are they doing?
