Jan 10th, 2015 - 09:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0What do you call a gathering of leaders??
A “Panic” of Politicians?
A “Confusion” of Politicians?
A “Worry” of Politicians?
They could, I suppose, paint bulleyes on the back of their jackets and give the muslims a moving target to aim at........
Anyway, it's nice to see that TDC are finally entering into the spirit of things and are throwing their support behind France in her hour of need.
If they are going to have a march, stop dilly dallying around and march the foreign legion into the slums and drive them all the way back to the holes they came from.
Jan 10th, 2015 - 10:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0@3 Klingdon,
Jan 10th, 2015 - 11:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Capital idea, Klingdon, but you'd have to break through the do-gooders & pc crowd to get to them.!
@3 I am curious. How do you decide which French citizens have to leave? Do they have to be first generation immigrants? Their children? What if someone is married to a muslim and their children are of mixed blood? The Nazis developed a calculation to determine if a person was Jewish enough or not to be sent to the death camps. Maybe you could use that.
Jan 10th, 2015 - 11:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Or are they going to be expelled on idealogical grounds. Do they have to be radicalised or maybe just said something a non-muslim didn't like? Since the majority of muslims despise the extremists you probably wouldn't get many that way. So maybe you could use the Argentine method of rounding up undesirables. They often went to the wrong house but took the occupants anyway because, why not?
How would you decide?
Personally I think the leaders march is a bit over the top,
Jan 10th, 2015 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0David can respect and remember them by increasing OUR defences rather than more cuts, and more cuts,

The idiotic French Progressives (Socialists) gave up police presence in teh Muslim suburbs about a year ago. They left the patrolling to the community.
Jan 10th, 2015 - 01:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They get what they deserve.
The French, like all lefty liberals are brutal when they are attacked. This will not end well for the Muslims.
Elaine, are the immigrants citizens? I have no idea how it works in France I believe in Germany and the Nordic countries even the people born there aren't ever citizens merely residents that can be expelled when needed. Although I really have no idea.
The Progressive, Everyone and everything is is equal and valid, nothing is bad, the effete politically correct oligarchy has caused these problems. I hope someday really quickly the population wakes up and fixes the problem.
@11 It is complicated by the former French colonies. Most of the Muslim immigration is from those countries.
Jan 10th, 2015 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 012. Well that should be an easy change of the law. What I've never understood is why these immigrants come to a new country and refuse to assimilate. They obviously left their sh*thole country for a reason. Why would they want to create the same type of gov't/country that they left?
Jan 10th, 2015 - 01:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Seriously stupid people.
One thing the USA has always done well is assimilation of the immigrants. By the 2nd generation they are Americans speaking English and obeying the laws.
@13 I agree with some of what you say. The U.S. handled immigration better than most places. Immigrants generally feel American first and whatever else second without losing touch with their culture of origin.
Jan 10th, 2015 - 02:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Most European countries tended to ghettoise (in the true form of the word) immigrants. Integration for the most part was not successful, especially in recent years.
As for the law, I have no idea.

Jan 10th, 2015 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The French intelligence had the Mosques, the terrorist cells, the fighters in Syria all profiled. They know who they are, but they are basically sitting all day long having to predict if they are going to attack or not. And that costs money, time and anti terror expertise and the freedoms of others as you have to keep on spying on everyone.
The problem is there is to many PC idiots controlling the French State, lawyers, politicians, academics, NGOs, media tycoons, you name it. that will be on the jump if you dare go a bit harder on these turds.
In the 70s we solved this riding with a Ford Falcon and feeding the fishes with a C -130 feeding the fishes in the River Plate... paradoxically the Argies had learned how to do things from the French conection in Algeria

Watch and see
Yankee. The last time reason was abandoned on a big scale was after 9/11 I recall. W and B liar went for “rednecks revenge” by going into Afghanistan and Iraq. Looking back on that stupid venture its got the West nowhere and in fact its made things at least 10 times worse. I remember meeting a US senator in Ecuador at the time and was told “Iraqs next!” , that guy is probably now weeping in his boots. At the time I told him to heed the advice of what remained of the British Camel Corps in our Foreign Office - “dont mess with the fuzzy wuzzies”. In retrospect they were 100% correct. There are better, more subtle ways of dealing with terrorism. If you attack a hornets nest with a baseball bat expect to get stung thousands of times. If you creep up on it at night, insert a probe and press the trigger it gets wiped out and no-one gets hurt.

@20
Jan 10th, 2015 - 03:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0America was at war with Islam before 9/11, dumb arse! We had bombings of the AMIA and the Israeli embassy and the bombing of the WTC in the early 1990s. The Muslim brotherhood is the founding father of ALL Sunni terrorist organizations and they go centuries back. Iran was already at war with the US since the revolution
Liberals invent all kind of stupid conspiracy theories to deny that Islam is the problem; like 9/11 was an inside job, the backing of Israel, the invasion of Iraq, the Saudi families conection to the white house. It’s all false
France had not even joined Bush/Blair/Aznar coalition to remove Saddam Hussein and already suffered from Paris riots and looting in 2005 2 years later.
Israel had being in existence for half a century and had reached a understanding with the Sunni middle east after giving back the Sinai. They where fighting mosthy the Shia terrorist Hezbollah and Hamas backed by Iran.
The reason why it’s come to pass now is basically demographic, Massive Muslim population growth over the last decades and massive Muslim immigration to the west.
20. Well that's one opinion. For the most part I don't agree with you. I don't think either Afghanistan or Iraq was a misadventure in the long run. I don't think we should have let either continue on the path they were on and as the arbitor of morals and the most powerful country it is out right and obligation to do something about it.
Jan 10th, 2015 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If fact when we try to stay out of a mess people start wailing and whining about it.
The USA needs a war about every 10 years, there's been an incredible amount of new technology that's been developed over the last decade and a half. To an outsider it looks like we've wasted a lot of money and talent but to someone who's grown up here its a necessary evil that we will put up with.
As I am sure you've figured out I love our military, I love out might but I also think Odumbo has totally screwed up the power structure in the world. I think it will take a decade to fix the mess he's caused by not loving or understanding my country.

Thats exactly why rednecks revenge has failed so miserably in the Arab world and set off a terrible sequence of misery for ordinary people who live there. America must have learned so much about its mistakes and limitations in the last 20 years. Its certainly not keen to go on stumbling about making even more enemies these days, the price is too high. The Arab terrorists want to provoke the same response again, by satisfying them with more bombs we shall fall straight into the trap again that snared W and B Liar.

You need exorbitant amounts of human resources full time on the task and money in a already highly indebted and bankrupted country like France or as the rest of Europe.
With more and more radicals with more and more Muslims immigrating, converting and giving birth and a ever more high % of Muslim youth in Europe the outbreak of wide spread terrorism is inevitable . It’s just a matter of time before it gets really nasty.
I just dont see how the system can upkeep itself

@18. Not 'contain', 'destroy'. Think about it this way. When you find a new disease, you don't 'contain' it except as a temporary measure. You 'destroy' it so that it can never come back and bother you again.
@21. Then we'll just have to do the sensible thing, won't we? Exclusion of muslims from the west. We can sit back and watch them try to annihilate each other. At the right moment, we could step in and help.We can watch ISIL wipe out Syria. Perhaps, for the time being, we could protect Iraq so that ISIL goes for Iran. How nice to see ISIL try to take on Afghanistan. Maybe Pakistan as well. Then, justifiably, we could nuke them.
@24. Anybody asking you to comment? So shut the f. up.
@26. There you go again. Whose bumboy are you? I don't see why a faggot should feel entitled to make comments about someone that they know nothing about. Go back to wandering around the streets begging for a spit roast.
@28. I sort of agree BUT there must be a mechanism to avoid innocents in the west being murdered. There are only a few useful options. First, we are going to take you into custody and then literally crucify you. Second, we know where all your relatives are. We're going to kill them. Third, we know where you come from. We're going to bomb and missile your village, town, city, country.

What the British people are probably unaware of or more likely unconcerned, is that for the past 5 years the coalition government have been deriding and denigrating the British police with the help of the government press.
Jan 11th, 2015 - 12:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Once that job was done, they have set about with massive cuts to the police numbers, pay and conditions and what we now have left is a husk of what we once had. What we do have left are very very angry and demoralised.
If what had happened in France had happened in the UK, we would have struggled to deal with it. In fact, the government was just about to massively cut even more firearms officers and that after what happened in France, they decided not to do it. I know quite a few British bobbies and they have told me that some of our forces over the next two years will be bust and unable to function as a police force.
We are going to be in deep shit if these cuts don't stop.

This is the most unhinged, hysterical thread i think i've read on here. The total number of people who have died at the hands of Islamists in the UK in our entire history is less than 100, in fact ~60. That is fewer than the number of people who die accidentally falling out of a building every year in the UK. 2000 people accidentally poison themselves annually, while >500 die falling down the stairs, every year. So even adding the ~2000 soldiers and citizens who have ever died at the hands of Islamists outside of the UK, this still needs to be seen in perspective.

We were terrified of Aids in the 80s, but now see it as just another disease to deal with. We came through 2 world wars and then expected thermo-nuclear destruction at any moment, but have since made friends with the Germans and closed most of our cold war bases. There were anarchists assassinating world leaders 100 years ago, this happens and will always happen - the dumbest thing we could possibly do today is to turn on our Muslim neighbours and treat them like an enemy.

Some of my businesses were in the SoT area; do you remember the TWO terrorist cells from there. All 'good asians Muslims' according to the Imam of their mosque.
I would have been on foot right near the London bus had it not exploded just a few minutes before.
I am not suggesting that we attack ALL the Muslims BUT I do think we should interrogate ALL the under 25 YO males who have travelled to a Muslim state within the last 12 months.
Also it would be good if the so called Muslim Council of Britain who claims they represent the Muslims (though MANY associations of Muslims deny this) came out SOLIDLY and unequivocally AGAINST these arseholes. That has yet to happen.
I really don’t care how many Muslims and their deranged British converts we have to kill as long as we get ALL the embryonic and formed terrorist cells. I DO NOT WANT any non-Muslim people killed by these nutters. Is that really too much to ask?

Jan 11th, 2015 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0@35. Oh dear, do you really only see what you want to see? 'democratically elected head of state'. Oh yeah? Prove it. Doesn't the authority in a sovereign democratic state rest with the people? So your 'democratically elected head of state' got elected on the basis of one policy. Then he switched around and tried to sell out to Russia. The people didn't like it. They protested. My idea is that a honest individual would stand up and explain himself. Did he do that? No. He ran. To Russia. In my book that shows him to be a traitor to the people. ''democratically elected' bullshit. And how do you know that the vast majority in Crimea want to be part of Russia? Is that based on the referendum overseen by armed Spetsnaz? How about we put the US Marines in there and ask the people if they'd like to vote again? With a guarantee that the Marines will wipe out the Spetsnaz and local militias if they try to interfere. Here's a little quote ”The ensuing 16 March 2014 referendum on whether to join Russia, held while the peninsula was occupied by Russian soldiers, had an official turnout of 83% and officially resulted in a 96.77% (Crimea) and 95.6% (Sevastopol) affirmative vote, but the referendum was condemned by the EU, the US, Ukraine and the representatives of the Crimean Tatars for violating Ukraine's constitution and international law.” Similarities with the Falklands referendum? Well, there were no British troops standing inside and outside the polling stations. And the Falklands referendum was declared to be in accordance with the constitution and international law.

You already have bills making nursery teachers spy on under 5 year olds in kindergartens. If France needs at least 30.000 anti terror agents to keep an eye on just 5000 potential terrorist from committing a crime then at some point the equation will be unsustainable with more % of Muslims born and become radical extremist. It cant be that different in the UK. It’s costly, inefficient and unsustainable just by demographics and common sense

Jan 11th, 2015 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In 1974 the IRA murdered 18 civilians in Birmingham. Afterwards, a local Irish woman was harassed in a shop because of her accent. Some reactionaries might have felt her harrassment was understandable given her origin and given the horror of the bomb, however what her abusers didn't realise was that she had lost 2 sons in the bombings. Today, the Irish and British get on well and have settled our differences. But had all Irishmen under the age of 25 who had been to Ireland in the previous year been interrogated in Britain, then do you honestly believe we would be where we are today? The kind of mass profiling you suggest would be utterly counterproductive and a huge waste of time in any case. Telling our Muslim fellow citizens that they are not to be trusted and then questioning their patriotism is incoherent. The western intelligence services are doing a pretty good job on balance, i doubt they would thank you for diverting them to interrogate 100,000s of innocent young British muslims who have no knowledge or interest in terrorism.
I think this problem is less of an issue in the USA/UK since we assimilate our immigrants better than EU/Scandinavian countries. The EU immigrants are living in a ghetto, don't speak the language, are uneducated, are unemployable and keep to thier own barbaric medieval tribal customs. The are treated as outsiders because they are outsiders. If there's an general uprising in Germany/France/Norway/Sweden its going to be really really ugly. It may even get the ultra right parties back into power.

Jan 11th, 2015 - 02:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The equation of 1 potential terrorist spyed by 20 agents.
Euro native birth rates 1.1- 1.6.
Muslim birth rates 3.0-3.5
70% of Muslims worldwide support Sharia law
You just have to be a common sense person and a realist to know where this is going.
Utter rubbish Thick Head. You know absolutely nothing. Like your countrymen you panick when challenged and then run away. We dont. Thats hard for you to understand due to where you were educated and grew up, in fact its the norm as we saw in the conflict. Quote all the stupid statistics you like. It doesnt make any sense especially when you look at population and natural resources. Britain has very little natural resources and is a world leader, you lot have oodles of resources and your country is a basket case - economic failure, social failure, moral failure and international failure approaching the standard of North Korea and Cuba without even the disadvantage of sanctions! Sorry, no-one takes you seriously and the trajectory you are on is firmly down. Why? Because of people like you who continually get it all wrong…

Jan 11th, 2015 - 04:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are. An incredible job. It is never easy to balance the rights of individuals with the safety of the whole community and maintaining our freedom and democracy. Their job is not helped when blabber-mouthed traitors like Assange and Snowden hand our intelligence to the terrorists. But whatever the circumstances and obstacles the job goes on.
There will be more terrorist attacks on our free and open democracy but the terrorists will never win.

Jan 11th, 2015 - 05:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My comment was:
“I am not suggesting that we attack ALL the Muslims BUT I do think we should interrogate ALL the under 25 YO males who have travelled to a Muslim state within the last 12 months.”
I cannot see any rational relationship with your comments to mine. And the reason is simple. ALL Irish parents knew what their offspring were doing during the conflict, some helped the murderers and others turned their own people in.
The Muslim population (except for just two examples I know of) always claim they didn’t know their son had been doing the things they were guilty of. How so when the Quran promotes the family to the exclusion of everything else?
No, it’s too thin, they KNEW, they just didn’t want to admit it to themselves that the radical Imam in Bedford had ‘confused’ them, etc, etc.
“i (SIC) doubt they would thank you for diverting them to interrogate 100,000s of innocent young British muslims who have no knowledge or interest in terrorism.”
Where the hell did that little nugget spring from? You claim that the “security services are doing a pretty good job” yet you think 100,000’s of thousands have gone to an Islamic state recently? Read what I wrote ONLY and without embellishment and emotion and think again.
The same security forces claim 2,000 British have gone to fight with ISIL, why don’t we deal with them when they return, apart from a slap on the wrist that is?
Or would that be counterproductive as well.
BTW, the French security services stopped monitoring one of the murderers only weeks before he ended up killing people. The UK services did EXACTLY that with the SoT bombers. Difficult isn’t it?
“”@29 Fair point. Extremism occurs at both ends of the political spectrum. Then there is religious extremism. Extremism is the problem.“””
Jan 11th, 2015 - 06:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, but most of it comes from religion...
Many humans havent yet evolved beyond the need for a supernatural moral and psychological crutch to get through the day.
Its very sad.
@62 I agree. Religious inculcation is very powerful.
Jan 11th, 2015 - 07:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is also the disenfranchised ripe for manipulation and exploitation, religious or not.

Clearly you have NO IDEA about how nursery schools work here in the UK ( kindergartens are what they are called in the US, are you even a real person? )
Are you even sure of what you are talking about?
RADICAL MUSLIMS. Call it what it is. Nazi Germany, the Third Reich were all GERMANS. They were all GERMANS. Was every German a Nazi? NO!
Jan 11th, 2015 - 07:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Obama and Biden don't have to be marching to show the world how deeply involved the US is in the war against terror. Peace.
At least their one US politicians with some nads!
