There’s been a strong conservative muslim presence in france for 15-20 years. Especially with the open borders. It’s been established in a lot of european countries. With England and France having big pockets of their muslim communities protesting and calling the locals heathens and infidels.
But the response is instead of anybody opening a line of democratic discussions. We get the racist rallying to get rid of all muslims.
So we got a pocket of shitty extremist racist and extremist jihadist rhetoric
Stateside it isn’t so much that. But we do have pockets of people who think the wAr on terror is a war on islam. That’s the sexy story being told.
Ironic… Sony got hacked multiple times and lost shit tons of money from it, so they upped their game with PS4 security… and now terrorists ended up taking advantage of that extra security because they might have used it to coordinate this attack. In a way, hacker teams helped ISIS. Poor Sony, the west is so gonna hype the ban wagon against them from this. ISIS seal of approval is the last thing they need.
We don’t know what the security was like. I highly doubt anybody was thinking that we need heavily armed guards at a small concert just in case some guys with heavy weaponry show up…
Yea I agree. Most concerts I’ve been to in the us have no armed security. The police are usually there funelling traffic and cars outside of the venue. Inside those guys aren’t armed.
No, the US did it to destabilize the Middle East and provoke a war in the region, calling themselves peacekeepers and basically invading the land, to seize control of possible future resource sources (read - Oil), or at least have an easy way in to neibourghood countries with such resources
But you’d think there’d be patrols around in higher frequency due to the frequency of these attacks.
The gunmen were mostly teenagers. Who were brainwashed and indoctrinated. Who were probably already feeling ostracized like those mass shooters we see on american tv. Except extremist welcomed then in and exploited their suicidal tendencies.
