simplistic rubbish. the attack clearly not on europe as a whole - doubt turks this side of istanbul feel it an attack on them, for instance. it is an attack not on europe as a whole but on parts of europe: and aimed to divide, not unite. it is a goad, to drive governments towards some policy options, and to push people away from their usual inclinations.
You are whistling past the graveyard on this one. ISIS have made their position clear - you are either with them or a legitimate target of their own special brand of brutality. I dare say Turks in Istanbul start getting a little windy about ISIS in their neighbourhood too.

oh get over yourself. this isn't about isis and me, it's whether france ups the ante, about people taking out their anger on refugees, on muslims, sikhs, yezidis etc - or not, as the case may be. the cat has been thrown among the pigeons. how will they respond?
 
until every last one of "them" is dead?

"when ‘Īsā (‘alayhis-salām) descends, breaks the cross, and abolishes the jizyah, there will not be any place left for the camp of kufr to exist on the Earth, not even as humbled dhimmī subjects living amongst the Muslims in the camp of truth…"
 
Sometimes I feel that social media prompts people to react when there's little to say, beyond empathy. Nothing wrong with that.

This has just filled me with foreboding and depression. This is going to continue beyond most of our lifetimes, isn't it?

Fuck. :(

but if you put a flag on your profile everything will be so much better and people will know you're on the right side

It's not as though France hasn't massively upped the ante in the past, either. The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior springs to mind.
 
Here is a translation of the statement from IS (copied from here)

Urgent: Statement about the Blessed Paris Invasion on the French Crusaders

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Almighty said: “And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).” [Al-Hashr: 2]

In a blessed attack for which Allah facilitated the causes for success, a faithful group of the soldiers of the Caliphate, may Allah dignify it and make it victorious, launched out, targeting the capital of prostitution and obscenity, the carrier of the banner of the Cross in Europe, Paris… Youths who divorced the world and went to their enemy seeking to be killed in the cause of Allah, in support of His religion and His Prophet, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, and his charges, and to put the nose of His enemies in the ground. So they were honest with Allah, we consider them thusly, and Allah conquered through their hands and cast in the hearts of the Crusaders horror in the middle of their land, where eight brothers wrapped in explosive belts and armed with machine rifles, targeted sites that were accurately chosen in the heart of the capital of France, including the Stade de France during the match between the Crusader German and French teams, where the fool of France, Francois Hollande, was present.

[They also targeted] the Bataclan Conference Center, where hundreds of apostates had gathered in a profligate prostitution party, and other areas in the 10th and 11th and 18th [arrondissements] and in a coordinated fashion. So Paris shook under their feet, and its streets were tight upon them, and the result of the attacks was the death of no less than 100 Crusaders and the wounding of more than those, and unto Allah is all praise and gratitude.

Allah had granted our brothers their wish and gave them what they loved, for they detonated their belts in the gatherings of the disbelievers after running out of ammunition, we ask Allah to accept them among the martyrs and make us follow them.

Let France and those who walk in its path know that they will remain on the top of the list of targets of the Islamic State, and that the smell of death will never leave their noses as long as they lead the convoy of the Crusader campaign, and dare to curse our Prophet, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, and are proud of fighting Islam in France and striking the Muslims in the land of the Caliphate with their planes, which did not help them at all in the streets of Paris and its rotten alleys. This attack is the first of the storm and a warning to those who wish to learn.

Allah is Great

“But honor, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not.” [From Al-Munafiqun: 8]

Especially as a peace rally was attacked there not so long ago.
 
:facepalm:

Was just on the phone to a friend from Abu Dhabi who raised some other attack in the last few days that we don't see so much about.

I'll bet you can't name it, you pretentious eejit.

Threesomes journo and friends in far off lands. You keep wanting to tell us about the terribly interesting people you know.
